After a sumptuous and lively bonfire party, Zhang Yi and Shen Junliang were drunk and in a state of disbelief, with only mechanical giggles on their faces and stumbling steps. They supported each other and returned to the teahouse.
Neither Li Chongyi nor anyone else was summoned by the Crown Prince Li Hong the next day. As for Yang Jikang, who was now imprisoned in a prison and under strict guard, he was never questioned again after he was thrown in.
Li Hong did not pay attention to the matter anymore, but called Li Chunfeng and Cui Zhibian to the house. After discussing for a while, he let them leave.
The two of them did not stay too much at the accommodation provided by Li Chongyi. In one day, all the soldiers on the ship were summoned to the Qiantang River Pier. The entire Hangzhou city seemed to have a lot of space in the blink of an eye. 's premises.
After a few days, when Li Chongyi and Wei Siwen came to ask for an audience with Li Hong, the person who greeted them turned into Bai Chun, and His Highness the Crown Prince had already met Li Chunfeng and Cui Zhibian, including Zhang Yi, the idle prince in Hangzhou City. , was also brought aboard the warship by His Highness.
Regarding Yang Jikang, Li Chongyi and Wei Siwen asked Bai Chun several times, but they did not get a clear answer.
Bai Chun's answer obviously failed to satisfy Li Chongyi and Wei Siwen, but there was nothing they could do about it. According to Miss Bai, His Highness did not explain how to deal with Yang Jikang's matter when he left.
But the news about Yang Jikang still quickly flew from Hangzhou to Chang'an, the capital, to the residences of Yang Zhirou, the minister of official affairs, and Yang Sijian, the prince's junior master.
The first reaction of the two of them was to immediately get up and go to the East Palace to give His Highness the Crown Prince an explanation. However, as soon as they left the palace, after being nervous, they remembered that His Highness was in Hangzhou now. Unless they had wings, they might be able to do it as quickly as possible. Quickly, he flew to His Highness to plead and explain to the evil son Yang Jikang.
The two of them stood in a daze at the door of their respective houses. Then they suddenly realized that their backs were soaked with cold sweat at some point.
Yang Zhirou stared blankly at the scene of cars and people passing by at the door. She felt that although she was standing under the sun, her whole body was cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
As for the bustling and bustling scene in front of him, it seemed like he was isolated in another world, which had nothing to do with his own. They were two different worlds.
"Prepare a car and go to the Young Master's Mansion." Yang Zhirou was stunned for a while and then suddenly said to the servant.
For the current plan, we can only discuss countermeasures with Young Master Yang Sijian. He is such a single person. If he really intends to rebel and assassinate His Royal Highness, then... even gods can't save him.
Yang Zhirou was talking to himself in the carriage, scolding the evil son Yang Jikang who was far away in the prison along the way.
Yang Sijian was sitting in the main hall of his house, feeling extremely uneasy. At this time, he not only hoped that Yang Zhirou would come over to discuss with him, but also hoped that Yang Zhirou would not come over to discuss with him.
"Where's the lady?" Yang Sijian raised his head and looked at the maid next to him and asked.
"Master, the young lady went out early in the morning. She said she was going to Qujiang Pool with Miss Pei to have fun and go to the temple. She said she would not be back until evening." The maid looked at Yang Sijian who looked a little anxious and whispered. Report.
"Nonsense, it's just nonsense! When are you going to go on a trip? Can't you go by yourself? Can't you bring your servant with you? Why do you have to make an appointment with Miss Pei? Go and find Miss Pei, hurry up !" Yang Sijian frowned and felt a headache from time to time.
Yang Yu has always been jealous of Pei Wanying. This is now something that both Pei Xingjian and himself know, but neither of them can do anything to stop it.
First of all, Yang Yu was appointed by the queen, so under the guise of going to the palace, she didn't dare to stop him.
Secondly, even if Yang Yu goes to Pei Wanying's house and asks Pei Wanying to go out with her, Pei Xingjian can only watch. After all, she is the quasi-Crown Princess, and Pei Wanying is not in the clear with the Crown Prince now. This... can't stop her. .
When the maid heard that Yang Sijian, who rarely got angry, now yelled, her body trembled, and she immediately nodded in response and was ready to go out to find the young lady.
"Wait a minute!" Yang Sijian held his painful forehead, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let her go for today. Now that I go back to her, I can't give Miss Pei a reasonable explanation. I hope not. As long as something goes wrong, this Yang Yu really doesn’t make people worry.”
At this time, I saw a servant running in with a hurried look. After saluting, he said hurriedly: "Master, Mr. Yang from the Ministry of Civil Affairs has asked to see you. He said that he has something urgent to discuss with you. He seems to be very anxious."
Yang Sijian looked at the old man in this family. The concierge has always been a person with sharp eyes and a flexible mind. He must know how to read the expressions of every visiting guest, and know when to stop the owner and when to report directly to the owner.
The fact that this concierge has been in the position of concierge in the Yang family for so many years is enough to show how much Yang Sijian values him.
"Invite him to the living room, I'll be there right away." Yang Sijian sighed, put the letter on the table into his sleeve pocket, then got up and walked out.
Hua Meng and Jingzhe followed closely behind Pei Wanying and Yang Yu. For most of the day, the two of them sighed in their hearts countless times. However, as the personal eunuchs of His Royal Highness, the two of them adhered to their duties, that is, No need to think.
So looking at Pei Wanying who was tolerant and accommodating Yang Yu, the two of them tried their best not to judge Yang Yu in their hearts, or even think about it. Instead, they looked at Pei Wanying from time to time, with her black and shiny hair. The black wolf, like a calf, rises in white.
"Are those four people in the East Palace or the Imperial Palace now? But I heard that they left your house yesterday, and the carriage from the East Palace came to pick them up." Yang Yu raised his delicate chin and looked at the teasers beside him. Bai Qi's Pei Wanying asked.
"Sister Yang, people from the East Palace always come to pick up the four of them. Even if they are summoned by His Majesty or the Queen, they will still have the East Palace come to pick them up in a carriage." Pei Wanying said looking at Yang Yu's delicate chin. .
She is half a head taller than her, so when facing Yang Yu, she can only look down at Yang Yu with her chin, which does not put any pressure or injustice on her.
Yang Yu tried his best to make his chin look more delicate, curled his lips, and was obviously dissatisfied with Yang Yu's answer: "Then why did they come to your home? Since His Majesty and the Queen summoned them, why did they stay at your home? How many days? Did you ask His Majesty to come here?"
"How could my sister dare? Even if I had ten more courages, I wouldn't dare. A few days ago, the carriage from the palace brought me here. I don't know why. Then I stayed there for three or four days. Then I was picked up again by the carriage from the East Palace. Yes." Pei Wanying replied truthfully.
Yang Yu felt more and more sad after hearing this. Pei Wanying said every word in the palace and the east palace. Was she trying to show off to herself
Is it to show that although she has no name, no connection, and no connection with His Highness the Crown Prince, even so, will His Majesty and the Queen still show favor to her? This is nakedly showing off and provoking oneself!
Yang Yu also knew very well that every time he was delivered by a carriage from the palace, and then picked up by a carriage from the East Palace. As for whether he was taken to the palace or to the East Palace, Yang Yu did not know.
Although she was able to enter and leave the palace, it was only during the Tang Festival. At other times, it was difficult for her to even enter the imperial city.
But Pei Wanying has long been different. Entering the imperial city is even easier than leaving her house. Every time she goes out, Pei Xingjian will ask where she is going!
But when she entered the Imperial City, the East Palace, or even the Imperial Palace, no one stopped her. She walked in completely unhindered! It was even easier than her father Pei Xingjian to enter the East Palace and the Imperial Palace! Moreover, coupled with the personal eunuchs accompanying the two princes, Pei Wanying was served as if she were a princess.
This made Yang Yu, who was already jealous, filled her heart with jealousy and hatred. She didn't know what the Crown Prince saw in her, and she didn't know how her own beauty was inferior to Pei Wanying's. ! I wish that the person who could enter the East Palace was me.
"Wanying, as a sister, I don't know whether I should say something or not, but I won't say it because I'm afraid of hurting you. If I say it, it seems that I will appear to be narrow-minded and I'm afraid that you will misunderstand my sister." Yang Yu looked at Qu In a small pavilion next to Jiangchi, I saw a few people sitting there in twos and threes. I sighed and said softly: "I've been walking for a long time, but I can't find a quieter place where I can say some thoughtful words to my sister. I finally saw a pavilion, and there were people there, really.”
After speaking, Yang Yu glanced at Pei Wanying, then turned her eyes behind her, looking at Hua Meng and Mang Zhong. The meaning was self-evident, that is, she hoped that Hua Meng and Mang Zhong could drive out the people in the pavilion and make room for her. place to come.
Pei Wanying watched Yang Yu's every move, how could she not understand what she was thinking? She just wanted to rest in the pavilion, but she didn't want others to disturb her, so she wanted Hua Meng and Jingzhe to drive away the people in the pavilion so that she could sit down.
"Sister, you might as well take a few steps forward. Look, there is a pavilion not far away. There is no one there, and it is a little further away, so you won't be disturbed." Pei Wanying looked at Hua Meng and Mang Zhong pretending I couldn't understand, couldn't see Yang Yu's words and eyes, and felt secretly funny in my heart.
So, not wanting Yang Yu to look too ugly, he pointed to the pavilion in the distance and helped Yang Yu out of the siege.
But at this moment, Bai Qi, who had been raised from a wolf to a dog by Pei Wanying, suddenly lay down at Pei Wanying's feet, blocking her path and preventing her from moving forward.
"Hey!" Pei Wanying looked at Bai Qi, who was getting lazier and lazier, and stamped her feet: "It's just like what my father said. You are getting lazier now. You are a wolf, not a dog. Get up."
Bai Qi turned a deaf ear and saw Pei Wanying move to the left, then she would lie down on the ground and roll to the left. When Pei Wanying went to the right, she would roll to the right. Pei Wanying looked angry and funny as she looked like a scoundrel.
In desperation, under Yang Yu's gaze, he glanced at Hua Meng behind him and said: "Go ahead and tell those people that this is a wolf. You are afraid that if you get along with them, they will hurt others. Please ask them." Just make it easier.”
"Yes, Miss." Hua Meng immediately nodded and saluted, and walked towards the pavilion.
The Bai Qi at Pei Wanying's feet stood up, shook off the non-existent dust on his body, moved his scary body with black and shiny hair, and ran after Hua Meng.
Pei Wanying was so angry and funny when she saw this scene that she had no choice but to point at Bai Qi and scold him after Bai Qi stood up: "From now on, just think of yourself as a dog, huh!"
Bai Qi turned his head, gave Pei Wanying a big roll of his eyes, and then continued to run over to cheer for Hua Meng.
Yang Yu looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings and hatred! It was impossible for these two personal eunuchs not to know their identity, but they refused to listen to her. This made her feel like she had been slapped loudly, and there was a burning sensation on her face.
And Pei Wanying's simple and light words made the prince's personal eunuch serve him hard and without complaint!
