120 A Dangerous Fall
1 Risks abound (1)
After coming out of the prefect's Yamen, Ye Jiaoxi was walking on the way back to the inn.
The setting sun hit her body, making her shadow grow very long. Ye Jiaoxi raised her eyes to look at the red clouds and exhaled softly.
When she just walked out of the gate of the magistrate's office, Yan Sang stopped her and told her many things that had happened in the palace in the past five years.
For example, Mu Ziling never rested with any of his concubines.
For example, Yin Shi has been under house arrest, and it is said that she is seriously ill. If it were not for Yin Changqing's face, she might not be able to survive.
For example, how Mu Ziling searched for her all over the world.
Yan Sang talked a lot, but Ye Jiaoxi became more and more silent as he listened.
Finally, when Yan Sang finished speaking, he said: "Miss Ye, my subordinates followed the prince when he was very young. I have never seen the prince be so interested in someone. This time he went to Miao territory regardless of it.
Does the girl know how detrimental this is to the prince? Even if the prince used you in the past, didn't you hide a lot from the prince? Now that we have met, the fate is not over, so the girl should forgive the prince."
Do you forgive me? I’m afraid I’ve already forgiven you in my heart, right? But in front of Yan Sang, Ye Jiaoxi naturally wouldn’t show it. She smiled and said: “You are so loyal as a subordinate, even this
I need to help him persuade me."
"Onlookers know clearly that the entanglement between the girl and the prince is witnessed by the subordinates. The prince's sincerity can also be seen by the subordinates. I hope the girl will not let it down."
Ye Jiaoxi did not say any more, glanced at Yan Sang who was standing with his eyes lowered, and walked out past him.
The sunset was infinitely beautiful, but it was almost dusk. Walking on the street, looking at the red clouds in the western sky, for no reason, Ye Jiaoxi suddenly remembered this poem.
When you leave, you only need the determination to cut off your love, but when you go back, you need the courage to face the unknown.
A carriage was slowly approaching from the front. Ye Jiaoxi made way to the roadside without paying attention.
However, when the carriage passed Ye Jiaoxi, a soft female voice suddenly came from inside the carriage, "Stop the car."
Ye Jiaoxi was startled, this voice...
The driver immediately pulled the reins, the horse neighed and stopped, and the carriage with a light red curtain stopped suddenly beside Ye Jiaoxi.
Ye Jiaoxi's dark eyebrows were slightly raised. How could she, who was familiar with the method of changing voices, not be able to identify this voice? After being slightly startled, she realized in a moment that Mu Ziling was here, so it was okay for her to come.
Ye Jiaoxi turned her head to look at the carriage, and saw the catkins stretched out like snow, lifting the tassel curtain of the small window on the side of the carriage, and a charming face was revealed.
"Seven Kings... No, Miss Ye, I didn't expect you to be in Jinchuan too." When I raised my eyes, the ripples of autumn made the sky pale.
Ye Jiaoxi smiled calmly, "Concubine Rao...oh no, it's Miss Yu. We are so destined to meet each other on the streets of Jinchuan." Yes, this person is none other than Yu Rao.
"Actually, you can't say that. After all, he is in Jinchuan. I came here to see him, and so did you, so we didn't meet him for no reason." The voice was so soft that it seemed to be bone-chilling, but the provocation in it was also obvious.
Ye Jiaoxi didn't care about Yu Rao's strange aura, and just smiled and said: "Miss Yu misunderstood, I came to Jinchuan because my senior brother was wrongly accused of being a murderer, and it has nothing to do with the Seventh Prince."
"Really?" Yu Rao said with a sweet smile, then looked ahead at the road, "Miss Ye, you must have just come out of the prefect's Yamen, right?"
Although she was right, Ye Jiaoxi was not embarrassed and replied quietly: "Miss Yu should be going to the prefect's Yamen, right?"
Yu Rao choked, looked her up and down after a moment, and said with a smile: "Miss Ye hasn't changed at all. She has such a sharp mouth that I don't know how to respond."
Ye Jiaoxi smiled softly, not wanting to get entangled with her, and said: "Then don't block Miss Yu's way, please." With that, she started to leave.
However, Yu Rao deliberately prevented her from leaving, and said to a man riding a horse beside the carriage: "Master Yan, this girl is the Thousand-Faced Thief that the prince has been looking for for five years." As if he was introducing Ye Jiao.
Oh, but it also made her have to stop.
Upon hearing this, the man immediately jumped off his horse, walked to Ye Jiaoxi, knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinate, Yan Ning, has met Miss Ye."
Ye Jiaoxi was startled by his big gift and hurriedly turned aside and said: "Why do you have to salute me? Get up quickly." She looked up and saw Yu Raoqiao looking at her with a smile, as if she was watching a play.
, indescribably weird.
Yan Ning also stood up after hearing this, but his attitude was still respectful.
Ye Jiaoxi had heard about Yan Ning when she was in the palace. She was a subordinate of Mu Ziling. She was injured by her second senior brother while investigating the Shadowless Sect, but she survived only after being treated by Liu Wuqing.
Just as she was about to let them go on their way, she left first, but she heard Yu Rao say again: "Young Master Yan escorted me to Jinchuan on the order of the prince. Since I met Miss Ye and Young Master Yan on the way, you should go first.
Magistrate's Yamen, Miss Ye and I may not have seen each other for a long time, let's catch up on old times."
Ye Jiaoxi was startled and looked at Yu Rao with raised eyebrows. He didn't know what she wanted to do, but he met her with a half-smiling look.
Yan Ning seemed a little hesitant, "This..."
"This is not appropriate," Ye Jiaoxi said, "Miss Yu, with her rich body, how can she reminisce with me on the street? What's more, it's getting late and I have to go back to the inn."
Yu Rao smiled at her and said, "I am no longer a rich man. It is rare to see Miss Ye. Doesn't Miss Ye still want to see me?" Then she said to Yan Ning: "Don't worry, I have already arrived in Jinchuan, not to mention Ye.
The girl is also very skilled. Just explain it to the prince and it will be okay."
It doesn't matter, it matters too much, it's best to go as far as possible, Ye Jiaoxi muttered to herself. However, since Yu Rao has said so, she can't say anything more.
Ye Jiaoxi really didn't have a good impression of Yu Rao. Not to mention the conflict with her when they were in the palace, she didn't like any charming woman.
Yan Ning was still hesitating, and Ye Jiaoxi looked at him hopefully, but Yu Rao said again: "I will be at the prefect's Yamen before dark, so you can go back first without worries."
Yan Ning couldn't hold on any longer and nodded at Ye Jiaoxi's disappointed look. After Yu Rao got off the carriage, he got on the horse and returned to the prefect's Yamen together with the driver.
No matter how reluctant Ye Jiaoxi was, she had no choice but to not go back to the inn for the time being. She looked at Yu Rao indifferently and said, "What are you going to talk about, Miss Yu? Are you talking about your happy life after ending your career in the palace, or are you looking back at my ridiculous past?"
Opportunity?"
Yu Rao covered her lips and smiled, "Miss Ye is really funny. I haven't seen you for so many years, but we talked to you today when we met. Why do you seem to dislike me so much?"
Ye Jiaoxi rolled her eyes in her heart, is there any need to ask? Of course she doesn't want to see her, but naturally she can't say this, otherwise it will appear that she is too petty.
Ye Jiaoxi glanced at Yu Rao lightly and said with a smile: "How could it be? Miss Yu is right. Since we finally met, let's talk. But having said that, I really feel like calling you Miss Yu all of a sudden.
It’s a bit unaccustomed to it.”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Rao's face froze. Although the smile was still there, it seemed a little stiff.
Sure enough, Zeng Jin's status as a concubine could firmly restrain her. Ye Jiaoxi smiled secretly, pointed to a teahouse by the road, and said: "Let's go to the teahouse and sit down, and we can have a more enjoyable chat.
"With that said, he walked straight in.
Yu Rao also returned to normal and followed him.
Sitting down by the window on the second floor, Ye Jiaoxi asked for a pot of Longjing and asked with a smile: "What does Miss Yu want?" Before she could answer, he added: "It doesn't matter if you can't drink it, after all, the food here is
There is no way to compare with the palace."
Yu Rao choked, and her newly recovered complexion turned a little pale again, "Do you have to talk to me in such a weird way?"
Ye Jiaoxi snorted softly, "You were obviously the one who acted strangely first."
Yu Rao also snorted, "I think what I said is normal. You are too thoughtful."
Ye Jiaoxi held her chin with one hand, looked at her and said, "Really? Maybe you gave me a really bad impression."
"Because of Zi Ling?"
"Because I just can't stand you."
Yu Rao chuckled and covered her lips after laughing, "You really still have such a temper, but having said that, I can't stand you either."
"Are you because of Zi Ling? For someone like you, you must regard him as God."
"Yes," Yu Rao sighed softly, "but so what? It's been five years, and I'm still looking for you persistently." After saying that, she looked at Ye Jiaoxi, and her full eyes actually made her feel guilty.
Ye Jiaoxi turned her eyes aside and looked out the window, paying no attention to it. Yurao didn't care either. She just smiled softly, raised her cup and took a sip of tea, saying: "Although this tea is not as good as the one in the palace, it has something that is not available in the palace."
I haven’t had a drink in the market for several years, so I miss it a lot.”
However, Ye Jiaoxi didn't seem to hear it and looked out the window intently, frowning slightly.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Yu Rao raised her voice, pushed her gently, and asked.
Ye Jiaoxi turned around, but her expression was unusually serious. She asked in a deep voice, "Was anyone following you when you came to Jinchuan?"
Yu Rao was startled and looked at her in panic and said: "I, I don't know, but I didn't take the official road when I came to Jinchuan. It was the small road that Yan Ning took me to take. When you say that, look at his look.
Someone is really following me. What, did you see the person following me?"
Ye Jiaoxi looked out the window again and said, "Look at the man under the eaves of the building opposite. He is sneaky and always looking here."
"Then, what should we do now?" Yu Rao was already panicking.
Ye Jiaoxi glanced sideways at her, "Why are you so panicked? Aren't you just following you? I won't do anything to you in broad daylight. Let's go. I'll just accompany you to the magistrate's office." After saying that, he stood up.
Come.
Yu Rao hurriedly grabbed her, "Is everything okay? He, he won't do anything bad to me?"
"What are you afraid of? I'm here. Alas, you are indeed a weak young lady."
Yu Rao was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Ye Jiaoxi: "Let's go, you'll be safe at the prefect's Yamen, and leave the rest to Mu Ziling."
Yu Rao then stood up, but her body became a little stiff. Ye Jiaoxi looked at her helplessly, stepped forward and helped her out of the teahouse.
When they walked out, the man immediately turned his back, rummaging through the items on the street stall, but looking at them sideways.
Ye Jiaoxi smiled coldly to herself, pretended not to see him, and walked towards the magistrate's Yamen with Yu Rao on her arm.
The sky was getting dark, and the number of pedestrians on the street had become sparse. Ye Jiaoxi glanced around vigilantly, gradually quickened his pace, and whispered to Yu Rao: "There seem to be a lot of them here. If you are stopped later,
