Chapter Fourteen Public Opinion
Regarding the attack in the dark night, although Ye Yun ordered people to clean up the scene, he did not deliberately conceal it. Therefore, in the morning of the next day, the news of the assassination of the eldest princess spread like wildfire and became the focus of civil and military officials after dinner.
Most people think that the eldest princess deserves to be in danger. After all, she has offended many people over the years. Only a few veterans who have experienced the civil strife in the dynasty realize that this matter is not simple.
When the news reached Ye Yun, she was standing leaning on the railing, grabbing a handful of fish food and busy feeding the fish. When Heng Wu told him the whole story, Ye Yun threw the last bit of fish food into the lake and took it.
Bai Zhi handed her a handkerchief and wiped the fine scraps off her fingertips before turning around and looking at Heng Wu: "I can't believe that I am so popular in the court."
"These gossipy civil servants, in my opinion, should have the Dragon Riders catch them all and hang them upside down on the city gate, and dump out all the mess!" Bai Zhi's face bulged.
Said angrily.
Hearing this, something strange appeared in Ye Yun's eyes. She turned to look at Bai Zhi, and saw that her face was red with anger. She was very surprised in her heart. Wasn't this girl always very steady? Why did she seem to be a different person in an instant?
How did Ye Yun know that although Bai Zhi, Heng Wu and Chu Ci were secret guards trained by Queen Jingshu for the original owner, due to her status as queen, all the secret guards in the Dragon Riding Guard were actually raised outside the palace.
Queen Jingshu's brother, the original owner's uncle, personally trained her.
The Qi family is a family of generals, and they have never been used to those civil servants who only use the word "Wen Jue" to stir up trouble. Bai Zhi and the others have been influenced by it since childhood, so naturally they have some military general demeanor. However, the original owner has never cared about such trivial matters and has not paid attention to the Bai Zhi and the others.
His attitude towards civil servants is also normal.
Bai Zhi was talking enthusiastically, but she suddenly met Ye Yun's probing eyes. She looked stunned, and hurriedly raised her hands and said: "My subordinate has overstepped, please punish me princess!"
"You vented your anger on my behalf, why should I punish you?" Ye Yun asked.
"This..." Bai Zhi was speechless for a moment.
Ye Yun added: "Before, I was a young lady and did many outrageous things. Now I have suddenly realized that I have to abandon the past and start over.
I lost my mother when I was young. Thanks to you for staying with me and taking care of me every day these years. To me, you are different from others. From now on, you don’t need to be reserved in front of me, let alone ask for punishment all the time.”
"I understand!" Bai Zhi and Heng Wu said in unison.
In fact, after spending this time together, they also noticed changes in the princess. Not only her temperament changed, but her interests also changed.
In the past, the princess hated reading and literacy, reciting poems and writing poems, and avoided the study. Now, whenever there is nothing to do, the princess will definitely go to the study, either reading history books or practicing calligraphy. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are completely different.
.
"From now on, you can call yourself by your name in front of me."
"Hengwu understands."
"Baizhi understands."
Seeing that the two of them were on the right track, Ye Yun looked relieved and looked up at the sun. It was already close to noon. Thinking of Chu Ci's injury, he said: "It's getting late. The medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Qiu must be enough.
Bai Zhi, please go and deliver medicine to Chu Ci, just let Heng Wu accompany you here."
"yes."
Looking at Bai Zhi's retreating figure, Ye Yuncai said after a while, "Are there any of our people in the palace?"
A flash of surprise flashed across Heng Wu's eyes, and then he said: "How did the princess know?"
"If there is no internal response in the palace, how can you know what happened in the morning, in such a short period of time?" After saying that, Ye Yun glanced at Heng Wu, then looked at the lake, his eyes were dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.
.
"Princess is smart, Heng Wu admires her!" Heng Wu leaned over and gave Ye Yun a deep bow.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Yun's mouth: "This person is not a Dragon Cavalry Guard, Heng Wu. Don't you plan to say something to me now that things have happened?"
"Princess, forgive me! The Queen once told Heng Wu that without that person's consent, even to the princess, you cannot say one more word!" After saying that, Heng Wu knelt down on one knee with his hands clasped in fists, as if he was willing to let what was done.
.
Ye Yun still looked into the distance and said calmly: "Who else knows about this except you?"
"Princess, only Hengwu is known to him, and that person is only connected to Hengwu."
"In that case, I don't have to ask, just get up."
"Thank you, Princess!" Heng Wu got up from the ground, picked up a plate of fish food on the stone table and handed it to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun lowered his head and glanced at the fish food, but then asked, "Do you know what was discussed in court this morning?"
"The emperor issued an order to withdraw the imperial troops in front of the post house, and ordered the Nanling envoys to return to Nanling tomorrow. But the strange thing is that the three princes of Nanling were not among them on this return trip." Hengwu said 1510.
"There's nothing surprising. He's just an abandoned child." Ye Yunyun said calmly. This is why she kindly let him go in front of Yu Wenyong last night. Without Nanling, Rong Yan is even considered a proton.
If not, it is a useless move at best. Even if Yu Wenyong said that he should be treated well, would the servants responsible for his food, clothing and daily life really be obedient?
Dust fell from the clouds, no matter how hard it was, some of them suffered.
"Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds. Emperor Nanling is so cruel!" Heng Wu frowned and sighed.
"There is no father or son in front of the throne. Throughout the ages, no one who has been able to step onto that position has stepped on the blood of his brothers and sisters to climb up. What's more, he is not the only prince in the Nanling royal family.
Okay, let's not mention him, is there any movement over there in Xiyuan?" Ye Yun said.
"The secret guard came to report that except for occasionally wandering around the courtyard every day, Mr. Fu has never gone out, and no one has entered Xiyuan."
"Well, tell the secret guard to be careful. Fu Qimo is a martial arts practitioner after all. Although he has been idle for nearly a year, he still cannot be careless. If he notices that there are people watching around him, it will be even harder to find the person behind the scenes.
." Ye Yun instructed.
"Yes, Hengwu will tell the secret guard what the princess said truthfully."
After talking about business, Heng Wu stayed with Ye Yun in the pavilion for a while, and then the two of them returned to Fengyang Pavilion unhurriedly.
After lunch, Ye Yun went to the study room accompanied by Bai Zhi as usual. He skillfully took down a military book from the bookshelf, lay down on the sofa and read it with relish.
Unexpectedly, the book was taken away by Bai Zhi just after reading two lines. She was about to ask Bai Zhi why she did this, but Bai Zhi answered first: "Bai Zhi knows that the princess is eager to read, but reading like this can easily hurt the eyes, so the princess still can't."
Sit up and watch."
With that said, Bai Zhi turned the book upside down, turned around, took a short table from the corner and placed it in the center of the bed, and then returned the book to her again.
Looking at the boxy short table, Ye Yun frowned slightly. You must know that she had a bad habit since she was a child, that is, she likes to lie down and read.
Nowadays, it is really embarrassing to have to sit upright, but Bai Zhi is thinking about her wholeheartedly, so she can't resist her kindness, so she can only take off her shoes, sit cross-legged like a good student, and take it seriously.
of reading a book.
