After the court, Chu Jinglan left the imperial city immediately, and as soon as he stepped into the palace, Tang Qingfeng with a dignified face greeted him.
"My lord, it's not good, something happened in Yanzhou!"
Chu Jinglan's expression changed slightly, and he grabbed his robe and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"The county king was attacked by a group of unidentified men in black when he returned to Shouyi from Liuyue City. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured. He has not yet recovered and is being treated locally."
Chu Jinglan's hand suddenly loosened, and he staggered back two steps, as if he was a little unsteady, just as Ye Huaiyang came down from the corridor, seeing this situation, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he asked urgently, "What happened?"
Tang Qingfeng narrated the matter in detail again, she heard her frown more and more tightly, and then looked at Chu Jinglan, only to see that his eyes were gloomy, gloomy like a black cloud, and something sharp was about to come out of it. Breaking out, the sharp edge was pressing towards everyone present, even Tang Qingfeng was slightly startled, but she was not afraid at all, and ordered them to do things very calmly.
"Ciyuan, use my seal to mobilize the Ye family's people in Yanzhou, and let them dispatch the best doctors and medicines immediately, and then dispatch a group of guards from Tianqi Tower, and make sure to ensure the safety of King Rongjun!"
Ci Yuan was about to leave when he suddenly heard Chu Jinglan say, "No need."
"Why?" Ye Huaiyang raised his head and asked suspiciously.
Chu Jinglan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was clear, but he could vaguely see traces of suppressing his anger.
"Since Zhenghe's subordinates can still send a letter to Wangdu, it means that he is safe now, Yanzhou is his territory, and the king knows his ability. Those assassins tried their best to kill him, and then they won't. Another chance." After speaking, he paused, then turned his head and instructed Tang Qingfeng, "Go to the north of the city at night and tell that person to stop contacting him recently."
North of the city? Who is he talking about
Ye Huaiyang was full of doubts, but did not rush to ask questions. After the group of people had all left in a rustling manner, she lightly held Chu Jinglan's hand, and then raised her head to look at him, her eyes floating and sinking, An unspeakable worry.
Those weak and boneless hands continued to emit heat, which finally made Chu Jinglan's cold body warm. The top of the head seems to be heavier than ever.
Ye Huaiyang had never seen Chu Jinglan so sad, she only felt a faint pain tearing in her heart, gradually spreading to her limbs, but she still stood upright, and stretched out her hand to stroke Chu Jinglan's back, giving him The most powerful support, and said warmly at the same time: "Don't worry, Zhenghe will be fine."
Chu Jinglan slowly hugged her tightly, but did not speak.
Yanzhou was thousands of miles away from the capital, and it was already solid under the control of Chu Zhenghe. It was not easy for Chu Sanghuai to reach out, but he did so because he wanted to tell Chu Jinglan that despite the current situation. Under the public opinion of the government and the public, he can't be moved, but he can use the people around him.
This was a warning, and it was also the price for his return to the court.
Thinking of this, Chu Jinglan hugged the delicate body in his arms even more tightly, no matter what, he could not let Ye Huaiyang and Ye Family be exposed to danger.
But this is how things are in the world, the more people are afraid of something, the more something will come. Just as the two embraced silently, Crescent Moon hurried over from the front yard, still holding a post in his hand, which was very gorgeous with gold stamping.
"Miss, the palace just sent someone to deliver this, saying that the empress invited you to the palace to enjoy the flowers in the afternoon."
In the severe cold and deep winter, the white plums in the imperial garden have all lost their first round, and they are all bare branches. What is there to reward? Zuo just saw that she hadn't entered the palace to report for so long, so he couldn't hold back, right
Ye Huaiyang also understood that it would be bad to drag it on, so she took the post and prepared to go back to her room to change clothes. Unexpectedly, Chu Jinglan's arms suddenly tightened, causing a dull pain in her waist. A subtle chaotic color appeared in the dark and quiet eyes, which flashed and fell, lurking in the depths but never faded away.
"Yang'er, I..."
Shui Xiu suddenly rose into the air, covering Chu Jinglan's lips.
"Don't say it, I don't want to hear it."
She knew what Chu Jinglan wanted to say, Chu Zhenghe was his direct cousin, and Chu Sanghuai was able to get it under such strict precautions, and she was right here within reach, every time she entered the palace, she It's like walking on a tightrope between cliffs, and the slightest mistake will shatter your bones. Under such circumstances, how could he agree to her taking such a big risk
Keeping her away from him is the only way to keep her absolutely safe.
But how could Ye Huaiyang agree? The two were finally able to work hand in hand, she would never leave Chu Jinglan at this time.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to report the situation to the Queen. I know what will happen." She climbed onto Chu Jinglan's shoulder and smiled lightly, "Besides, I haven't had enough of this good life. , why are you willing to leave you?"
Although she knew that she was deliberately trying to fool her, Chu Jinglan really had nothing to do with her appearance, so she could only sigh, "Yang'er, you can't make a fool of yourself."
"I know, don't you worry about me doing things?" Ye Huaiyang smiled, then put her tiptoe to his ear, winked with a glint, Sisi. Give Shih Tzu a try…”
After speaking, she slipped out of Chu Jinglan's arms, stood a few steps away and winked at him, and then went back to the room with a nana. Chu Jinglan stayed on the spot and smiled, neither anger nor anger, A heart is full of lingering love, and the thoughts that flashed in the previous moment have long been submerged in the tide of love, and will no longer appear.
How easy is it to ask him to let her go
After the time has passed, the smog has dissipated a little, and a round of slanting sun shines in the west. Thousands of golden rays pass through the clouds and fall on the earth, painting the wet bluestone road with light makeup. Although it is not so warm, at least it makes people look good. joy.
Ye Huaiyang entered the palace at this moment.
The gilded Donghuang Palace was even more solemn after being washed by the rain and fog. When you walked outside the palace, a palace maid came to guide the way, and walked slowly to the palace. At the foot was a white jade brick engraved with dark petals. Her little foot stepped on it, like a lotus growing every step of the way, her temperament became fresh and refined, and I wondered what happened when the queen passed by.
Sitting firmly in the East Palace for so many years should be a bit of a hope.
In the misty thoughts, she had reached the inner hall. The palace maid was blessed and she retired. Ye Huaiyang stepped forward and bowed to the back of the heavy silk tent. However, the honorary title had not been called out, and the tent was covered in golden clothes. The shadow frightened her.
This is not the queen!
She held her breath for a moment, her breath was choked in her throat and she couldn't swallow. In just a few seconds, countless possibilities of that person appearing here floated in her mind. Step forward.
"Why, when you see me so surprised, you don't even salute?"
Ye Huaiyang hurriedly leaned over to the jade floor tile and said respectfully, "My concubine sees the emperor."
"Chen and concubine?" Chu Sanghuai raised his lips and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "You have adapted quite quickly to your status. It seems that the days of being Princess Lan are much better than those of being the head of the Ye family."
Ye Huaiyang clenched her palms tightly, and euphemistically proved her innocence: "Even if the courtiers and concubines are unwilling, they can't go beyond the court rules and etiquette.
The corners of Chu Sanghuai's lips pursed slightly, and her long and narrow eyes were fixed on her. She moved from her high bun to her smooth forehead. After a pause for a few seconds, she suddenly said, "Look up and look at me."
Ye Huaiyang did as she was told, but still lowered her phoenix eyes, her eyelashes cast a faint gray shadow, like a feather fan trembling.
"Why don't you dare to look at me?"
"Your Majesty's holy face, it's too late for the servants and concubines to evade, how dare you look directly?"
"Oh? Is that really the case?" Chu Sanghuai's voice rose slightly, suddenly stepped forward to clamp Ye Huaiyang's jaw, and then lifted it up abruptly, "Or is it because of a guilty conscience that you dare not look at me?"
Ye Huaiyang endured the pain and said softly, "I don't understand this concubine..."
"Okay, I'll make it clear, why did Pei Yuanshu tell King Lan that he brought other people with him when he captured and killed King Qiyang, but you didn't mention it in the letter you sent to the queen?"
His words were sharp, and every word contained a cold edge, which made people's scalp tingle. Those white fingers pierced Ye Huaiyang's skin like icicles, and the chill spread along the blood. The inch froze until it froze, bringing a sharp sting.
But Ye Huaiyang didn't fall for the trick, she knew that Chu Sanghuai was testing her.
Not to mention that Pei Yuanshu promised that she would not reveal her doubts to Chu Sanghuai. Even if she did not agree, she and she were both in the mountain stream at that time, and they did not see Shen Cejun at all. With Pei Yuanshu's upright and upright temperament, he would definitely Thinking of this, Ye Huaiyang suddenly raised her eyes, pretending to be surprised and said, "How is that possible! Apart from the shadow guard, the concubine didn't see anyone else at that time!"
"Really?" Chu Sanghuai caressed her smooth face calmly, and said with a low smile, "Then one of the two of you must be lying."
Ye Huaiyang let him touch his face, and when he remembered that it was these hands that made Chu Zhenghe comatose so far, the anger in his heart increased, but his face was calm and calm, and he kept calm with him. False to entrust the snake.
"How can the concubine dare to deceive the emperor on such an important matter? If the emperor does not believe it, you can ask Lord Pei to confront the concubine."
The emperor looked at her fixedly, and suddenly the conversation changed: "You are very angry."
Ye Huaiyang was shocked. She didn't know how she could tell him the emotions she had been trying so hard to endure. She felt that he was unfathomable to the extreme, and her thoughts were spinning. Following his words, it is possible to win the trust of him.
"Your Majesty must have heard a sentence, you don't need to use people if you are suspicious. Your concubine has been ruined in the hands of King Lan, and you only want to get rid of him as soon as possible for you to restore your freedom, but you are suspicious because of Lord Pei's few words. How can the loyalty of the concubines and concubines be taught? Are there still people in this world who deliberately sacrifice their reputation and get themselves into such a situation!"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, her anger not concealed, her phoenix eyes looked at Chu Sanghuai almost sharply. Just like the voice of the underworld, it teaches people to feel cold.
"That day, you cried so much that the pear blossoms were raining in this hall, and you really pretended." He slowly stroked her pink neck, and every time it passed, it seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice, causing the creamy snow skin to be covered with it. Trembling, "Tough as fire, that's your true face of Ye Huaiyang."
Hearing this, Ye Huaiyang raised her head gently, her eyes were calm, but her heart was trembling, but before she could speak, Chu Sanghuai spoke again.
"It's a pity that you used the wrong trick at the time. I hate crying women the most. The more you are like this, the more I will give you to Chu Jinglan."
He thought that he pretended to be weak in order to arouse their pitiful hearts, so as to avoid the fate of marrying Chu Jinglan
Ye Huaiyang breathed a sigh of relief, but his words became even tougher: "The minister and concubine have speculated on their own thoughts, and they should be punished by this. Now that everything is a fait accompli, it is useless to think too much. The minister and concubine will definitely work hard for the emperor to get rid of King Lan and put things right."
Chu Sang Huailong was delighted by these words. He didn't seem to expect Ye Huaiyang to be so calm under pressure and humiliation. There is no reason to doubt her.
"Ye Huaiyang, you are very smart and cunning, why didn't you find out before?"
Chu Sanghuai approached slowly, the tip of her nose almost touched her neck, smelling the elegant orchid fragrance, she felt inexplicably very attractive. Ye Huaiyang couldn't hold back, but the hands in the water sleeves were already clenched tightly, and all the nails sank into the palms, and the pain was like a knife.
Be patient, she can't fall short at this juncture.
"But you should keep in mind that these methods should not be used in the wrong place, otherwise, your Ye family will be the second Bai family."
She trembled and uttered a word in a low voice: "Chen and concubine keep the emperor's teachings in mind."
Chu Sanghuai let go of her hand with satisfaction, and the remaining strength in her palm knocked Ye Huaiyang to the ground. When she got up from the cold floor, the bright yellow figure was hidden behind the silk tent.
"Go back, I don't need you to do anything recently, I want to play with my good emperor in person."
