Later, they stayed until dinner was over before leaving, which was unexpected for Ye Huaiyang. Although the atmosphere was inevitably a little more serious with Chu Jinglan present, she was already very satisfied.
When they returned to the palace, it was already late. After washing up, the two went to bed. He slept outside and she slept inside, with a distance of half a person's width in between. In the past, Huaiyang had to sleep with Chu Jinglan for a while before falling asleep. Today, she was surprisingly good. She didn't take a step, and fell asleep with her head on the pillow.
The deep courtyard is quiet, the moon dew in the middle of the night, the cloud tent is light and light, and the mandarin ducks are lightly covered.
There is still a trace of heat in the early autumn night, and if there is no cool breeze to accompany you, you will feel more stagnant, and you will wake up from your sleep like a hundred claws scratching your heart. This is the case with Ye Huaiyang. She couldn't open it, but her mind gradually became awake under the perspiration. She rubbed her head against the cold bed sheet for a long time, until the bed sheet was also warmed by body temperature, and she had to prop up her arms and sit up.
The tea white silk clothes, the shadows under the lamp are mottled, and they are all sweat.
As she calmed down her dryness, she raised her eyes and looked at Chu Jinglan. He lay flat beside her and was sound asleep. The outlines of his facial features were extremely deep in the slightly swaying candle shadow. She wanted to reach out to touch it, but was afraid of getting After waking him up, she sat on the side and watched silently. When her eyes came to his open chest, her mouth became more and more dry.
No, she has to go get a drink.
Ye Huaiyang climbed to the end of the bed and carefully turned over Chu Jinglan's feet to get out of bed. Who knew that the brocade on the bottom was too slippery, and she lost her balance instantly and rolled toward the ground when she was at a critical moment. Only a steady arm pulled her back from the bed, and she fell on his chest, sweat oozing from her back again.
"Don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you messing around with?"
Chu Jinglan slowly opened his eyes, his voice was still a little hoarse, obviously he just woke up not long ago, but the moment he picked up Ye Huaiyang was extremely accurate, I don't know how to do it. Her heart was like a deer, and she managed to hold it back. As soon as she raised her head, she looked into those bottomless black eyes. In an instant, she seemed to have been hooked and could not move. Now, he just swallowed his saliva quietly, his face obsessed.
"What's your expression like!"
Chu Jinglan's face turned green when she heard her swallowing. The sudden touch made him froze.
Damn, she didn't even wear a leotard!
Ye Huaiyang seemed to have noticed his stiffness as well, her eyes rolled around, and she wanted to play, so she put up her arms and tried to climb over him again. She pressed it to her chest and said maliciously, "It's endless?"
"I'm thirsty..." She pursed her pink lips with a pitiful look.
Chu Jinglan also touched her sweaty clothes, opened the gauze and let her fall to the ground from her side, and said, "Go to Liushuang Courtyard to sleep if it's too hot."
Liushuang Courtyard is transparent from north to south, and it is close to Qingchi. It is the coolest place in the house, but Ye Huaiyang refused: "I don't want it."
Afterwards, she poured herself a glass of water, and after drinking it, she went to the closet to get a clean bedclothes and put them on. After rustling for a long time, she finally returned to the bed, but pushed Chu Jinglan and said, "Why don't I sleep? Go outside."
According to the rules, the wife slept on the outside so that she could take care of her husband drinking water and wake up at night, but since she accidentally fell to the ground the night before the two shared the bed, Chu Jinglan slept on the outside automatically. It hasn't changed since then, but this autumn tiger hasn't passed yet, and she is so afraid of the heat, what if she wakes him up like tonight? It's better to go back to sleep, he can still be clean.
Ye Huaiyang's abacus was pounding in her heart, but Chu Jinglan didn't say a word. She closed her eyes and didn't know if she was asleep. She didn't move at all. Lying down against his arm, she felt very cold, and she immediately tightened again.
The thin lips parted lightly, and a few low voices leaked from the top of the head: "What?"
"My husband's body is so cold." She buried her head and rubbed it, only to feel relieved from the inside to the outside, and her little face was completely satisfied.
Chu Jinglan didn't lift her up, and let her entangle her like that, but the two soft balls pressed against his side, so that the last trace of drowsiness was pushed away. He opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and met him. The twinkling eyes seemed to have stared at him for a long time.
"Speak up if you have something to say." He said calmly, his deep black pupils are also sharp in the dark night.
Ye Huaiyang didn't go around in circles, and asked directly, "Did you already know that Bai Zhixuan was dead?"
Chu Jinglan was silent for a moment, then simply spit out a word: "Yes."
"Although Bai Xizhi can't do anything about me now, once he learns of Bai Zhixuan's death, it's hard to guarantee that he won't jump over the wall. In order to prevent the night from dreaming, I want to create another opportunity to let Chu Sanghuai wipe out the roots of the Bai family quickly." Ye Huaiyang paused. After a while, he raised his head and looked at him, "It's just that there is no good solution for the time being."
"If there is a good way, has it been taken?"
Ye Huaiyang heard the sarcasm in his words, smiled instead of anger, held his hand softly, intertwined his fingers with him, and said coquettishly, "How could it be, I have to discuss it with my husband."
Chu Jinglan was indifferent.
"Is there any way?" Ye Huaiyang asked, shaking his hand.
"No need." He lightly pulled the corners of his lips and drew a stern arc, like a cold day in the 39th day, ice piercing Nagano, "Chu Sanghuai will not be dragging his feet since he is motivated to kill, Bai Zhixuan is dead, within a month. The Bai family will die, just wait and see."
"Really? Then I can go to sleep."
She giggled and picked up the thin quilt and put it on her stomach. As soon as she closed her eyes, she actually said she would fall asleep. Chu Jinglan didn't talk to her, she just stared at the intricately patterned ceiling, her thoughts were like waves in a tranquil sea. Almost to pour out.
After Chu Sanghuai had dealt with the Bai family, it was time to deal with him.
Last year, when he returned to the capital, the Bai family was besieged and blocked along the road. Although he looked fierce, he was a typical example of bravery and guilelessness. Now Chu Sanghuai can't help but want to do it herself. It must not be as simple as sending a killer. There are many obstacles in the road ahead, and life and death are unpredictable. She married him on her own accord. .
Thinking of this, he suddenly froze.
Why do you think so? Have you unknowingly regarded her as a part of your life? With the lessons learned from six years ago, he shouldn't have trusted anyone.
Chu Jinglan turned her head and found that Ye Huaiyang had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder, with fine sweat on her bright forehead, but she slept soundly, as if all the discomfort could be turned into sweetness as long as she cuddled with him. The dream kept her awake all night.
He pursed his lips, but in the end he didn't pull out the hand that was tightly clasped with her.
In the blink of an eye, half a month later, at a court meeting on a certain day, someone from the Censor’s desk reported that Bai Xizhi had embezzled and accepted bribes when he was serving as the governor, causing harm to the place. Before ten days passed, he was executed in the name of conclusive evidence. Bai Zhixuan was also sentenced to death "at the same time." Under the Chutian.
The words were divided into two parts. The Bai family's power collapsed. The people of Lingnan all cheered. The light firecrackers were set off for most of the day, but it was not them who benefited the most, but the King of Qiyang, who was facing each other across the mountain. One of Bai Xi died, he immediately stopped. Several important towns were circled silently, and there was a hidden posture of occupying the land as the king.
Royal study.
As soon as Yue Ting entered, he saw a mess, the desk was full of torn rice paper, ink was splashed everywhere, the porcelain and chalcedony were smashed to pieces, there was almost no place to go, and the people who caused all this were still in anger. among.
"He Deng Tianguan is so courageous that he dares to encircle the field and train troops under my nose, when I dare not send troops to Jingzhou!"
"Your Majesty, rest your anger."
Yue Ting held the jade wat and bowed from a distance, then walked steadily through the pile of debris, and finally stood in front of the emperor. He is slender and slender, wearing a dark blue court dress, with an inconspicuous hollow black jade embedded in the crown. Although he is over fifty years old, he is still graceful, and his every move contains extraordinary bearing.
The emperor turned to look at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Yue Qing came just in time, I want to attack King Qiyang, what are your ideas?"
Yue Ting bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, the thirteen cities of Jingzhou add up to no more than 30,000 horses.
"But he's like a thorn in my heart! If you don't pull it out, you won't be happy!"
Compared with the emperor's excitement, Yue Ting seemed extremely calm, and slowly persuaded: "Now the treasury is empty, and most of the defenders from various places have been sent to build canals and dragon boats. In addition to the fact that winter is coming, it is not to send troops to retaliate. Best time."
His blunt words made the emperor a little angry, and he suddenly said: "I still have 300,000 soldiers and horses guarding the capital!"
"You forgot that Prince Lan is currently in the capital. If you let him know that you are fighting with Prince Qiyang, you will immediately send the 100,000 iron cavalry in the north to the south. At that time, our army will be attacked by the enemy. What should we do?"
The emperor's face was sullen, and his anger flashed past. He seemed unwilling to admit that he was restrained by Chu Jinglan and had to face the reality. There was a suffocating silence in the imperial study. At this moment, Yue Ting's calm voice sounded again.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan, which may solve your immediate worries."
"Say."
Yue Ting straightened up slightly, and his elegant and lofty face was full of calculations: "The Bai family is destroyed, and everything in Lingnan is undecided. It is better to appoint Prince Lan to go there. The name is to appease the people. Wang fights you to the death, no matter which side wins, it can solve a serious problem for His Majesty, and it will be effortless, what does His Majesty think?"
"This plan is very good!" The emperor readily agreed, and then narrowed his eyes, "But what if these two collude with each other?"
Yue Ting had already taken this into consideration, and there was a touch of certainty in his eyes, as if he had become a bamboo in his chest.
"Your Majesty might as well send someone to escort King Yu Lan. If there is such suspicion, let him immediately pass back the evidence. When it is made public, wouldn't it be better to deal with King Lan's rebellion?"
Hearing this, the emperor's face finally turned cloudy, but it was even more terrifying.
"Can Yue Qing have a recommendation?"
Yue Ting pondered for a moment and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, there are not many capable people around me, but only two students are barely able to do it. Ye Huaixin is too young to be able to take up a major role.
Since he brought it up, the emperor also compared the two in his heart, and they were about the same talent, but the Ye family already had a Ye Huaiyang who was placed beside Chu Jinglan by the queen mother, and then sent Ye Huaixin over there. It is not his style to throw all the chips into the cage of the Ye family. Thinking of this, the emperor made a decisive decision.
"Just Pei Yuanshu."
"The minister takes orders, I will go back and warn him, and retire for the time being."
Yue Ting saluted, and immediately bowed out of the imperial study. The blue robe undulated with the pace, streaked across the long white jade steps like a sharp edge, and headed towards the outer imperial city.
