It was almost three o'clock when we returned to Rong'an Palace.
After Ye Chang got off the carriage, he stood in front of the mansion gate, looking at the gold-plated plaque hanging at the gate of Rong An's mansion. The plaque was washed away by the heavy rain, but it still glowed golden. Over time, wind, frost, rain and snow have eroded, but it has not faded.
Su Fengnuan stood half a step behind him, followed his line of sight, and looked at the gold-plated plaque of Rong An Palace with him.
The most glorious time of the Rong An Palace was when King Rong An and his concubine were alive, and it was said that it was also when Ye Chang was born. Ye Chang's full moon and Zhou Zhou, the guests at the door are bustling, and there is an endless stream, and the mansion is bustling and lively.
It is said that when Ye Chang was catching Zhou, the emperor took an imperial pen as a gift for catching Zhou, and threw it into a crowd of things. Ye Chang grabbed it from the dazzling array of things. Surprised, he threw away the imperial brush, and grabbed a good sword that Su Che put inside as a gift to catch Zhou. Before everyone had time to change their expressions, he threw away the good sword again, grabbed a book, held it from then on, and never let go.
That book is said to be an out-of-print erotic picture, and I don't know who threw it in.
The expressions that everyone had held back for a long time finally erupted when he held on to the erotic picture, and they burst out laughing.
The emperor also laughed, touched Ye Chang's head, and said with a smile to King Rong An, "I don't like pens, I don't like to play with swords and swords, but I prefer to be romantic in spring. It seems that the family style of Rong An's mansion will change in the future."
King Rong An watched Ye Chang hold the erotic picture tightly and refused to let go, he couldn't laugh or cry.
This matter was widely circulated in Beijing at that time.
Later, King Rong An and his concubine went to the battlefield and brought Ye Chang with them. Afterwards, King Rong An and his concubine died in battle, ten miles of desolation became mountains of bones, and Ye Chang survived by eating human flesh.
Later, Su Che found him, sent the only orphan of Prince Rong An's residence back to the capital, and resigned after taking the blame. Under the connivance of the emperor, Ye Chang lived up to his expectations and grew into a flirtatious prince, just like the things caught by Zhou Zhou back then, snowy moon, romantic, endless romantic.
How prosperous was the Rong An Palace back then? Today's gold-plated plaque in Rong'an Palace is still there, but it is quite quiet.
Heavy rain can't break the tranquility that can't be washed away.
Over the years, Ye Chang has grown from a naive child to a young man. His thin shoulders have strong muscles and bones that are not afraid of swords. He has gradually grown up in places that others can see and can't see, and he can already bear the weight of the Rong An Palace. Plaque up. Even, it is much more affordable than this plaque.
Su Fengnuan looked at his back standing with his hands behind his back, thin and straight, like green pines and verdant cypresses, which contrasted brilliantly with the gilded plaque of Prince Rong An's Mansion. There was a faint touch in her heart, she grew up with him, watched him grow up, and protected him from growing up, all these years passed.
Time is like fine sand between the fingers, slipping away quickly, and there are growing light and shadow fragments changing and flashing in the mind.
She found that he was cuter when he was young, but in the past two years, as he grew up, he became less cute.
Ye Chang turned around slowly and looked at her. On a cold and stormy night, his eyes were also cold and cool, "Back then, my father asked to marry my mother and concubine, and my grandfather refused to agree with Ye's daughter to marry the royal family. Later, my father Promise, the child will follow the mother's surname, and the emperor also sent someone to say Xiang, so the grandfather compromised. After the father and mother died in the battle, the grandfather forbade anyone from the Ye family to come to the capital to take care of me. Therefore, for the past twelve years, I I haven't seen the Ye family either."
Su Fengnuan knew this and nodded.
Ye Chang still looked at her, and his voice was cold and cool against the heavy rain, "Grandpa always remembers that although my surname is Ye, I am in the blood of the Liu family. The emperor also remembers, so he doesn't care about the Ye family's treatment of me." Very satisfied, these years have taken care of me very much.”
Su Fengnuan also knew that Ye Chang had been a dandy and insolent in the past two years. Yushitai's impeachment papers were filled with the emperor's jade case within three to five days, but the emperor never paid attention to it. Really take care of.
Ye Chang looked all over her eyes, and his cool eyes concealed the slightest emotion, "I've been thinking all these years, should I be an idle prince and grandson, just keep doing nothing like this, or be like my parents, work hard, For the sake of the Southern Qi royal family and thousands of people, shoulder the heavy burden of the country."
Su Fengnuan pursed her lips and remained silent.
The few traces of emotion in Ye Chang's eyes slowly faded away, and he said softly, "In the days when you are not returning to Beijing, I want to understand that I have the flesh and blood of my father, queen, mother and concubine, and I can't just be an idle prince and grandson." Young master, mediocrity, life wasted and wasted. But I can't be like my parents, blood-stained on the battlefield, buried in bones and barren, nothing can be restored. Twelve years ago, since I survived, I want to live a completely independent life. Law."
Su Fengnuan looked at his unparalleled handsome face and nodded.
Seeing her nodding, Ye Chang pulled a smile on her thin lips. In the wind and rain, she felt a little gentle and warm, and said softly, "Prince Rong'an's mansion is in my hands. Maybe it won't be as prosperous and prosperous as it used to be, but I can do it to the best of my ability. , will not dare to defeat the arrogance of the father, mother and concubine. The plaque of the Rong An Palace must be passed down from generation to generation. Even if you don't come back to Beijing to see me for two years and eight months, I know you will not ignore me." , and asked her, "Nuan Nuan, will you always be with me?"
Su Fengnuan glared at him, "You just went away from the fever, and you've been tossing like this. I don't have the strength to give you the fever again. You're chattering like an old woman. Come in."
Ye Chang looked at him stubbornly, "You will always be with me, won't you?"
Su Fengnuan raised her eyes to look at the sky, her face suddenly turned rainy, she wiped it with her sleeve, and said, "It's cold."
Ye Chang asked stubbornly again, "You will always be with me, won't you?"
Su Fengnuan had nothing to do with him, this man became stubborn, even ten cows could not be pulled back. She said angrily, "Accompany, accompany, accompany, Ye Shizi, go in quickly."
Ye Chang nodded with a satisfied smile, turned around and entered the mansion gate.
Su Fengnuan stepped up to keep up with him, and slandered behind him, how time passed so fast, and he grew up all at once, he is not as good as he was when he was a child, and his mind was twisted and twisted.
Ye Chang took two steps, turned around and told Qian Han, "Help the death of Madman Yi, and don't reveal any news."
"Yes." Qian Han replied.
Ye Chang took another two steps, turned his head and said to Su Fengnuan, "You have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, you must have a one-armed man in your hand. Can you send me one for me? Make him look like a lunatic." appearance."
Su Fengnuan raised her eyebrows, "Do you still want to use Crazy Yi as a lure?"
Ye Chang nodded, and said in a low voice, "People's hearts are the most difficult thing to control. That person should know Yi Crazy very well, so I think that once the Lingyun Temple incident happened, he would definitely commit suicide. But if it doesn't spread in my mansion News, if you find another person who is Yi Rongcheng Yi Crazy, if Yi Rong looks very similar, the people behind will always have doubts? After all, Yi Crazy can't bear the weakness of Feng Meiren, that person will doubt maybe his position in Yi Crazy's heart He is not as deep as Feng Meiren, so he is reluctant to die."
Su Fengnuan said, "Since that person did this to kill Crazy Yi, I'm afraid that even Beauty Feng won't let her go. At this time, I don't know if Beauty Feng will end up like Crazy Yi."
Ye Chang shook his head, "No, when I brought Madman Yi into the mansion, I ordered someone to pick up Fengmei." After a pause, he said, "Unless that person's movements are faster than mine, when Madman Yi just entered After I settled the palace, I killed Feng Meiren in advance. Otherwise, she should still be alive and well."
Su Fengnuan looked up at him, and said, "Once Beauty Feng dies, Crazy Yi will know about it. Then, if that person kills Beauty Feng, Crazy Yi will not be willing to die. So, based on this inference, Feng Meiren should be safe and sound. Even if that person wants Feng Meiren's life, he will have to wait until Yi Crazy is willing to die."
Ye Chang nodded, "That's exactly the reason."
Su Fengnuan said again, "Thinking about it now, the last handwriting on the paper left by you by Madman Yi also has a profound meaning. Please forgive me, he asked himself to die, and in the next life he will form a grass ring, only asking that the wind and shadow will not follow. This is to ask You are alive and beautiful."
Ye Chang nodded, "Crazy Yi probably knew that that person would still kill Feng Meiren after he committed suicide, but he committed suicide anyway. Tell me, if it wasn't a blood-related close relative, who would it be to make him do this? ?”
Su Fengnuan frowned, "I've never heard that he has close relatives in the world." After finishing the sentence, he said, "The relationship between Beauty Feng and him has been entangled for many years. He valued Beauty Feng more than his own life. Now even his life is at stake." No more, abandon Feng Meiren. Except for the close relatives who are connected by blood, I'm afraid I won't think about him anymore."
Ye Chang nodded and looked at her, "So, let's find out about Madman Yi's background."
Su Fengnuan nodded, and said to him, "I'm afraid it's not easy to find out about Madman Yi's background." After a pause, she said, "However, Fengyang Security Bureau's network information may be able to find out."
When Ye Chang heard the words Fengyang Escort, he snorted, but didn't speak.
Su Fengnuan knew that he was not used to Fengyang, and said, "The emperor will hand over these cases to you to take full responsibility. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will cooperate with you. With the imperial decree tomorrow, you will be considered to have officially entered the court. You are not as good as the weak crown, no You have no experience in court, but taking such a big case at the first step is bound to cause a sensation in the court and the public. Starting tomorrow, how many people will start to look at you. The so-called officialdom is like a battlefield. You can't act emotionally because of everyone's likes and dislikes It's not good for you. The Fengyang Security Bureau has survived for generations, so it must have its ability."
Ye Chang rubbed his brows and looked at her helplessly, "Okay, I understand, as long as he doesn't have unreasonable thoughts about you, I will be polite to him. If he dares to have unreasonable thoughts about you , I took advantage of this to shovel the Fengyang Bodyguard Bureau. I don’t care how many generations he stands, and this generation will let him fall.”
Su Fengnuan immediately stared, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Chang snorted again and fell silent.
While the two were talking, they returned to the main courtyard and entered the house.
Ye Chang took off the poncho and rubbed his hands. Seeing that Su Fengnuan also took off the poncho, he took her hand and rubbed it for her as well. His pretty brows frowned. It seems that I have never been so cold in the cold winter, is it because I have lost too much energy in dispelling heat?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, and pulled out his hand angrily, "It should be, so, you are not allowed to do it willfully in the future."
Ye Chang gave a "hmm" and said to her, "I'm going to the study, you go to sleep in my room."
Su Fengnuan looked at him and frowned, "You haven't rested all night, how can your body be able to bear it if you go to the study now?"
Ye Chang said, "I'll sleep in the daytime tomorrow. Before the imperial decree comes, I always have to prepare and write a few letters. You also said that I am not allowed to deal with personal emotions and likes and dislikes. I thought about it, except Outside of Fengyang, I should also write a letter to my grandfather. He has ignored me for so many years. Now, he shouldn’t ignore me anymore, right? What if I thoroughly investigate this case and get involved in the important layers of the court? Official, you really turned the court upside down and stood on the cusp of the storm. The Ye family is my shield."
Su Fengnuan nodded, took out a jade bottle from his arms, and handed it to him, "I'll give you this bottle, you can eat one later."
Ye Chang took the bottle, shook it in his hand, and looked at her, "Nuannuan, there are twenty or thirty in it, right? If you sell it, it will be worth two to thirty thousand gold, and you can buy a lot of dowry..."
Su Fengnuan raised his foot and kicked him, "Get lost."
Ye Chang smiled lightly, dodged, kicked the bottle into his arms, turned and walked out, and said to her at the same time, "I have received countless good things from you over the years, and I will arrange your dowry in the future."
Su Fengnuan stared, Ye Chang had already left the room, and went to the study under the umbrella.
Su Fengnuan stood in place, watching the rain outside the window was still heavy, drowning his figure, she laughed angrily, took off the clothes of the guards in the mansion, removed the disguise on her face, washed her face, and lay down on the bed asleep.
On the second day, Su Fengnuan was woken up by the voice of "Ye Shizi accepts the order" outside the gate of Rong'an Palace.
She opened her eyes, opened the curtain, and took a look at the sky. The rain outside was falling thinly, not as heavy as yesterday, but it didn't stop. The sky was still cloudy, she glanced at the hourglass, it was just the hour. The emperor's decree came too early.
She pushed away the quilt, got out of bed, opened the window, and the rain came in through the window, and she immediately felt refreshed.
She stood in front of the window for a while, and heard the bustle at the door gradually subsided. Just as she was about to close the window, a kingfisher flew in, she stretched out her hand, and the kingfisher landed on her hand.
She stretched out her hand to untie the letter paper tied around its leg, opened it, and laughed suddenly, and said to the kingfisher, "Your master seems to be in a panic, since he can't be idle, let me find something for him." Let's do it." After saying that, he turned around and took a pen and paper from the table, returned the letterhead, and tied it to Kingfisher's leg, Kingfisher pecked her palm affectionately, and flew away again.
When Ye Chang came back with the imperial decree, he saw Su Fengnuan smiling and seemed to be in a good mood. He raised his eyebrows, "I just saw a bird that came to send a message? Who made you feel so early in the morning?" so good?"
Su Fengnuan glanced at the imperial decree in his hand and said to him, "Don't you want a one-armed man? I've already asked someone to find it for you."
"Who?" Ye Chang looked at her and asked persistently, "I'm talking about the person who puts you in a good mood."
Su Fengnuan turned around, "My senior brother."
Ye Chang frowned, "You have a senior brother? Why haven't I heard you mention it all these years."
"It's okay to say what is he doing?" Su Fengnuan stretched his waist, saw two thick blue shadows under his eyes, and said to him, "You haven't closed your eyes all night, can't you bear it? Now you have received the imperial edict , now that everything is arranged properly, let's go to sleep."
Ye Chang snorted softly, put down the edict and said to her, "Tell me about your brother."
Su Fengnuan was speechless, "What are you talking about?"
Ye Chang looked at her, "I want to hear it."
Su Fengnuan waved to him, lowered his face, "Go to sleep."
Ye Chang reached out and grabbed her hand, and found her hand was cold, and then realized that her clothes were thin and without a coat. Looking down, she was barefoot, and immediately asked, "How long have you been awake? Why are you standing barefoot? on the ground?"
Su Fengnuan withdrew his hand, "Not long." After saying that, he turned and went to put on his shoes and coat.
Seeing that she was going to wear the boots and clothes of the guards again, Ye Chang asked immediately, "Do you really like wearing the clothes of the guards in my mansion?"
Su Feng gave him a warm look, "Now there are only guards' clothes here, if you don't wear this, what should you wear?"
Ye Chang was stunned, and said to her, "Don't wear it, I'll ask Qianhan to buy you a set."
Su Fengnuan thought for a while, then shook his head, "When I came yesterday, the sky was dark, and I entered the mansion wearing women's clothes. Except for Doctor Meng, not many people noticed. If I went out wearing women's clothes today, it would be unreasonable for someone to see me. Guess, trouble, let’s do it this way.”
Ye Chang was right when he thought about it, he stopped stopping her, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed. The scent of her daughter still lingered on the bed, which was faint and very pleasant. He took a sip and said to her, "The case of Lingyun Temple has not been found out. The gate of Lingyun Temple is still sealed. No one In three or five days, the gate of the mountain will not be opened, and the family members of the aristocratic mansion in Beijing will not be able to come out. Naturally, Madam Wang and Madam Su will not come back. Don’t go back to the mansion these three or five days, stay in my mansion let's go."
Su Fengnuan immediately retorted, "It's so boring to stay in your house, don't."
Ye Chang looked at her, "It won't be boring, you pretend to be my bodyguard, and investigate the case with me. I'll sleep first, and go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple in the afternoon. You follow me too."
Su Fengnuan blinked and said to him, "Isn't the emperor's decree a one-sided proposition? Now the government and the public are going to be very sensational."
Ye Chang laughed, and said coolly, "It's more than a sensation?"
"Are there many people who object?" Su Fengnuan asked again.
Ye Chang laughed again, "The imperial decree issued directly by the emperor, once the imperial decree is issued, it is too late for anyone to object. What's more, how to object? Which one of Liubu and Yushitai don't know that the emperor is using me as his sword to take over the government? The clan has always Without the right to speak, I naturally hope that someone will come out, who will have any objections? As for the state's father's mansion and the queen mother, if these cases are not behind their backs, they will avoid suspicion, let alone stop them."
Su Fengnuan was amused, "Your majesty is really good at picking this opportunity."
Ye Chang let out a "huh" and said dissatisfied with her, "Why don't you praise me? If I don't give the emperor this opportunity, he won't be able to handle it."
Su Fengnuan was speechless, and said to him, "Go to sleep."
Ye Chang closed his eyes and said thickly, "I should have breakfast with you, but I'm really sleepy, you can eat by yourself later."
Su Fengnuan nodded, the talking room had been cleaned up, and she left the room.
Qian Han heard the movement, glanced inside, and said, "Girl, I'll bring you breakfast."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
Qian Han walked towards the kitchen.
Su Fengnuan stood at the door, there were raindrops falling from the eaves, crackling, and the light rain outside was pattering down, the whole Rong'an Palace was really very quiet. There were not many servants to be seen, so it was a bit deserted.
Not long after, Qian Han brought breakfast, Su Fengnuan saw that it was medicinal food again, after eating, he asked Qian Han, "Old Wei is in the account room now?"
Qian Han nodded.
Su Fengnuan went out of the room under an umbrella and went to the accounting office.
Mr. Wei was doing the accounting, clattering the abacus, and there were several accounting books on the table, all spread out.
Su Fengnuan came to the door and knocked on the door. Mr. Wei took a look outside, got up and opened the door, met Su Fengnuan's eyes, and said with a smile, "If it weren't for the girl's eyes, the little old man would really recognize her." Can't come up with such an exquisite disguise technique, girl please."
Su Fengnuan smiled at him, "I didn't bother you, did I?"
Old Wei shook his head, "What did the girl say? Don't bother, don't bother." After speaking, he asked her to sit down.
Su Fengnuan sat on a chair beside him, took out three ledgers from his pocket, and handed them to him, "These are the ledgers that have been piled up over the past two years, and I need to trouble you."
Elder Wei took it with his hand and shook his head, "Don't bother me." After saying that, he put down the ledger and asked her, "These three ledgers, should we not let the prince know?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "He doesn't care about the account, so there's no need to tell him."
Elder Wei laughed when he heard this, and said to her, "Although the son doesn't care about accounts, he is a smart person. These years, he just pretended not to know, but in fact he knows it in his heart."
Su Fengnuan said with a smile, "If he knows it clearly, it's nothing. You don't need to tell him deliberately."
Mr. Wei nodded, "Young lady has more than a dozen accounts for private entry into the Rong'an Palace over the years. In the past, the Rong'an Palace was impoverished, and the prince was clean and honest. He always relied on the princess's dowry to subsidize the expenses of the palace. During the border war, there was an urgent need for food and grass. The prince and concubine even emptied the Rongan Palace for food and grass supply. Therefore, after the son returned to Beijing, there was really nothing left for him in the mansion except for an empty mansion. It was General Su who sold his belongings before leaving Beijing and kept A sum of money was given to the prince to subsidize his own use. Coupled with the rewards from the emperor, queen mother, and noble concubine, it lasted for a few years."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
Wei Laodao, "A few years later, I received the first account from the girl. At that time, the little old man asked the girl, but the girl didn't tell me where it came from. Now after so many years, I can receive the account from the girl every year. Income. Lin Lin finally figured it out, and the current Rong An Palace is actually more abundant than the national treasury. It really makes the little old man admire the girl's way of making a living."
Su Fengnuan said with a smile, "The money I have come from is not right."
Mr. Wei smiled and said, "Over the years, from the accounts, the little old man has also seen some tricks. It is indeed not right to mine private mines and sell private salt. The court has laws and regulations, and the supervisory bank has supervision. But the girl can escape. The imperial court has supervised it for so many years, which is really impressive."
Su Fengnuan said with a smile, "I won't do it now. These are the last three accounts."
Old Wei was startled, looking at Su Fengnuan.
Su Fengnuan said, "In the past two years and eight months, I haven't come to Beijing. Ye Chang thought I was angry with him, but it wasn't all. I went to deal with these. Mining private mines and selling private salt, after all, you can't do it for a long time. In short, especially now that the emperor is getting old, the time to replace the old with the new is not far away. We still have to go on the right path. Although I am Ye Chang, I don’t want him to be scolded for being dug out in the future. It's over, it's broken cleanly. Today's industries are all aboveboard."
Mr. Wei suddenly said, "The girl is smart and wise, neither greedy nor irritable, she is content with her hands, knowing that there is something to do, and doing things at the right time and place, it is commendable."
Su Fengnuan laughed, "Don't praise me, I can't help being praised."
Elder Wei sighed, "I am so lucky to meet a young lady."
Su Fengnuan smiled and remained silent.
Elder Wei looked at her, "The emperor intends to marry the eldest son and the young lady, and his heart is very high. The young lady made a scene in front of the queen mother, and the queen mother is already displeased. If you try hard, the emperor will give you an imperial decree to allow this marriage. , It’s really a good relationship.”
Su Fengnuan smiled and shook his head, "I won't marry Ye Chang."
Old Wei was taken aback, and looked at Su Fengnuan in surprise, "What do you mean by this girl? You and the prince have had a deep friendship since childhood. The girl has done so many things for the prince. Obviously, she has a prince in her heart. Now the great marriage is here. , why did the girl say..."
Su Fengnuan waved his hand to stop his words, looked down at the ground, raised his head again, and said with a smile, "There is no reason, I just wish him well and protect him. He married a wife and had children, and his life will be smooth. It is my wish."
Old Wei's complexion was really indescribable, he looked at her as if she was lying, and asked tentatively, "Is there something unspeakable about the girl? Or do you have someone you like?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "No, it's just a wish."
Elder Wei was speechless for a while.
Su Fengnuan stood up, smiled at him and said, "You are busy."
Wei Lao hurriedly got up to see her off, until she left, after he closed the door, he was still unable to calm down because of her words for a long time. He always thought that this was a good marriage, that the prince loved the girl very much, and that the girl had a daughter, and it was hard for ordinary people to do such a thing for the prince all these years. But I didn't expect to hear such words today.
After he heard it, he found it difficult to accept it, let alone the prince? Does the prince know that she has no intention of marrying him
