After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Ye took Luo Zhiyi to Yuelao Temple again.
Looking at the courtyard and the red bean tree, Luo Zhiyi snuggled into Bai Ye's arms with contentment: "Husband, are we still together for the rest of our lives?"
"certainly."
"Then, will there be a pair for life?" Luo Zhiyi asked cautiously, not daring to raise his eyes to look at Bai Ye.
"What do you think?" Bai Ye asked instead without answering, hugging the person in his arms tightly and kissing her hair gently.
"I don't know." Luo Zhiyi's voice was a little low and a little confused.
Staying with the person you love for the rest of your life, with no one else but each other, was what she had hoped for since she was a child, but now, she doesn't know.
If she could have said calmly before that if she couldn't get such a beloved person, she would have left. She didn't want the only one, but if Bai Ye told her now that he couldn't give her the only one, what would she do?
Can she really leave in style? No, she can't. She has engraved this man deeply in her heart, melted it into her bones and blood, and can no longer be separated from him.
"I don't know why." Bai Ye's voice was as gentle as water, and the kisses kept falling.
"You are the prince..."
When you are in a high position, there are times when you cannot help yourself.
"Don't think too much, I will always be by your side, trust me." The vow-like words were followed by a deep kiss.
Under the acacia tree, a couple hugged each other tightly.
...
It was already night when he returned to the palace. Looking at the sleeping little man in his arms, Bai Ye's eyes were complicated. After a while, he finally got out of bed cautiously.
Outside the house, the moon and stars are thin, and the wind is blowing.
When Bai Ye walked out of the bedroom, Zhou Yan was already waiting beside him and walked all the way to the study.
There was a person in the room waiting quietly, but it was Miss Yuehua whom she had not seen for a long time.
Seeing Bai Ye come in, Yuehua quickly knelt down and said, "Master, Yuehua is back."
"Yeah." Bai Ye hummed softly and sat behind the desk. He looked at the woman in white kneeling in front of him, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"This is a small punishment but a big punishment. If there is another time, then you can leave."
"Master, Yuehua doesn't dare anymore. Yuehua has never forgotten that his master is His Highness..." Yuehua was shocked and hurriedly defended.
"If it wasn't for the sake of your dead sister, I would never have forgiven you." Bai Ye's eyes were devoid of warmth, and his majesty made people feel awe.
"Yue Hua knows I was wrong, there won't be a next time." Yue Hua's voice was choked with sobs, and she raised her pear-shaped face to look at Bai Ye pitifully.
Bai Ye sighed softly, waved his hand and said, "Come on, go down."
"yes."
Yuehua left in tears.
"Master, Yuehua only thinks about the girl." Zhou Yan suddenly advised carefully.
"Yeah." Bai Ye said softly, but successfully silenced Zhou Yan.
"How's it going over there?"
"Wei Xun found it." Zhou Yan handed a cloth bag to Bai Ye.
It was an extremely ordinary piece of cloth. However, when Bai Ye opened it, he was surprised. Wrapped in the piece of cloth was a token, black inlaid with gold, and the six words in the middle were clearly visible: "Order of the Marshal of the Army and Horses"
", with two big characters on the back: "Western Wei Dynasty".
This is the marshal's troop movement token of the "Western Wei Dynasty" and half of the military talisman of the Western Wei Dynasty.
The Western Wei Dynasty was the Wei vassal regime of the Dayue Dynasty. Sixty years ago, the vassal kings of the Western Wei Dynasty were ambitious and colluded with four vassal kings from various parts of Dai Viet to jointly raise troops to cause rebellion. The Western Wei army was strong and powerful. At that time, the Western Wei Dynasty accounted for three of the ten generals in Dai Viet.
The four vassal kings came with great force, attacked cities and territories, and soon occupied half of Dai Viet. Later, Bai Ce, the fourth prince of Dai Viet at the time, led troops to conquer the rebels everywhere.
After decades of war, Bai Ce turned the tide and barely suppressed the vassals everywhere. After more than ten years of war, this land finally settled down.
And the declining royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty has long been lost in the long river of history.
However, now the Marshal's Order of Soldiers and Horses of the Western Wei Dynasty suddenly appeared, and its holder was his father-in-law, Prime Minister Luo Heng.
"Who else has seen this token?"
"Except for Wei Xun, no one else has seen it, and my subordinates only know it now." Zhou Yan said in a low voice.
"The remnants of the traitor to the king." Bai Ye sighed softly, feeling that the token in his hand was burning like charcoal: "Besides this, is there any other news?"
"Also, Third Young Master Luo has been found."
"Where."
"In Northern Xinjiang." Although Zhou Yan's voice was low, Bai Ye felt that these three words rang in his ears like thunder.
"The spies reported that Luo Yunfeng has a special status in Northern Xinjiang, and Cai Xiang, the king of Northern Xinjiang, deliberately concealed his identity."
"Where are the other two members of the Luo family now?"
"When we set off back to the capital, Luo Yunting went to Jianyun Villa. I heard that he was going to participate in the martial arts competition held every five years, while Luo Yunxi went to Jinzhou."
"Jinzhou."
"Yes."
"Jinzhou, Jinzhou, why is he going to Jinzhou?" Bai Ye was puzzled.
"It is said that the headquarters of Luoshang Alliance is in Jinzhou." Zhou Yan reminded.
"One is in Northern Xinjiang, one is in Jianyun Villa, and one is in Jinzhou. However, the Luo Heng couple who stayed in the capital are holding the Western Wei military talisman. Is it true that they are going to take action as the emperor brother said." Bai Ye's face was solemn as never before.
"Watch their every move." Bai Ye whispered, stroking the token in his hand.
"Western Wei Dynasty."
...
On the third day after returning to Beijing, the emperor held a grand reception banquet for the ninth prince Bai Ye. All the civil and military officials of the court and the royal family were present.
Luo Zhiyi had never liked such grand banquets, but she was still half the protagonist in this banquet, and Bai Ye told her that the emperor wanted to reward her.
As for the reason, of course it was the Ninth Prince who saved the country's pillar regardless of his own safety.
After the incident with Princess Yongxi, Luo Zhiyi became afraid of the palace. Every time he entered the palace, nothing good happened. Therefore, Luo Zhiyi was very depressed that day. He started to feel restless when he got up in the morning. When Jin He was preparing the dress for the banquet, Luo Zhiyi became anxious, fearing that something would happen at the banquet.
Bai Ye looked at Luo Zhiyi's restless look, frowned slightly, and after whispering some instructions to Zhou Yan, he walked behind Luo Zhiyi and hugged her, who was uneasy, into his arms.
Luo Zhiyi only felt a warmth behind her, and a familiar fragrance lingered all over her body. Leaning in Bai Ye's arms, Luo Zhiyi suddenly felt at ease, wasn't her husband still there?
"Husband, I won't leave your side this time." Luo Zhiyi felt that it would be safer to stay by Bai Ye's side.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen tonight." Bai Ye said with a smile, "However, if my wife stays with my husband all the time, my husband will be happier."
"I promise not to drink any alcohol tonight." Luo Zhiyi said so confidently that he almost swore to the sky.
Bai Ye pinched her fingers and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. As long as your husband is by your side, I won't let you get into trouble." Bai Ye smiled lovingly, which warmed Luo Zhiyi's heart.
"Husband, you are so kind." He turned around and hugged Bai Ye's neck and kissed him on the face.
Bai Ye was delighted. This was the first time Luo Zhiyi had taken such initiative. He immediately held her face and showered her with countless kisses.
The lingering kiss caused the temperature in the room to rise sharply. Bai Ye's big palms had slipped into her blouse and grasped the plumpness of her breasts, causing Luo Zhiyi to whisper: "Husband."
"Madam, it seems that we are going to be late for tonight's banquet." Bai Ye said with a smile, picked up Luo Zhiyi and walked to the big bed at the back.
