"I...I just came here to steal something." Li Erniu said with a sad face, "Today I heard that a grain team from the imperial court passed by here, so I came to feel the way and wanted to steal some grain back. However, there were three waves of officers and soldiers with the grain.
Taking turns to guard, I couldn't do anything, so I had to think about stealing something and go back, but unexpectedly I actually got in..."
Ye Fuxun looked at Li Erniu and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Tie him up first, and then deal with it after we find out."
Qingyun tapped Li Erniu's acupuncture points, found a thick rope and tied him up. Dong Lingxin said apologetically, "It was my dereliction of duty that A Chong was frightened."
"Vice General Dong's words are serious." Ye Fuxun yawned delicately and said to Dong Lingxin, "Please ask Vice General Dong to send someone to watch this person."
"Okay." Dong Lingxin nodded in agreement. Seeing that Ye Fuxun looked tired, he stood up and left, "Then Ah Chong has a rest." After saying this, he picked up Li Erniu's collar and carried him out.
Ye Fuxun yawned and looked at the chairs and tables that had been smashed into pieces, and said to Qingyun, "Remember to pay it to others tomorrow." Qingyun shrugged slightly and returned the dagger in his hand as a sign of agreement.
Early the next morning, as soon as Ye Fuxun opened his eyes, Bi Luo came back, "Princess, Li Erniu is indeed from Anning Village. He is usually honest and diligent."
Hearing the news brought back by Bi Luo, Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "This is interesting. How can a hard-working and honest man be accused of stealing things? Or stealing things from officials."
"Princess, this Anning Village is a bit weird. Although it is called 'Anning Village', it is not peaceful at all. People in the village say that because it is close to Bianbei, in addition to the Hu people from Bianbei coming to grab food, even the old landlords
With the increase in land tax and tenant farming, the lives of ordinary people will be extremely difficult."
Ye Fuxun looked at Bi Luo quietly. This was the first time she saw Bi Luo's eyes showing sadness and anger, which surprised Ye Fuxun.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Fuxun freshened up, still dressed in men's clothing, and said, "Go check out this Anning Village."
"Yes." The voice came from the air, and Bi Luo's shadow had long disappeared. Qingyun opened the door and walked in, saying: "Wang... Ah Zhong, Vice General Dong invites you to come down for dinner." He opened his mouth and shouted out of habit, "
"Princess", but when she looked up, she saw Ye Fuxun's dark eyes and immediately changed her tune.
Ye Fuxun straightened his clothes and asked Qingyun to put on his armor, "How was Li Erniu from Anning Village yesterday?"
"It's still locked up in the firewood shed. Vice General Dong sent people to Anning Village to check on this person early this morning."
Ye Fuxun nodded. Although she had already asked Bi Luo to investigate, she did not stop Dong Lingxin from sending someone there. After all, Bi Luo was in the dark.
When they arrived at the hall, Dong Lingxin was already sitting there. There were a few side dishes on the table. Ye Fuxun smiled and walked over to Dong Lingxin and saluted with clasped fists, "Good morning, Deputy General Dong."
Dong Lingxin nodded and said, "Sit down." Ye Fuxun responded and sat next to Dong Lingxin generously. Qingyun also greeted Dong Lingxin and sat next to Ye Fuxun.
"Then Li Erniu, what do you plan to do with it?" Dong Lingxin picked up the chopsticks and asked in a low voice. Ye Fuxun picked up the bowl on the table and said, "Didn't Vice General Dong send someone to check? When they come back, if there is no
The problem is, just put the person back. After all, we are forced by life, so don’t delay the process."
"It seems that Ah Chong can't wait to see His Highness King Chen." Dong Lingxin smiled narrowly. Ye Fuxun tapped the bowl and chopsticks with his chopsticks and said, "Eat."
Two hours later, the people sent by Dong Lingxin came back and the news they brought back was the same as what Bi Luo had brought back. Dong Lingxin sent people to release Li Erniu back.
"Wait a moment."
Qingyun used Qinggong to catch up with Li Erniu. Li Erniu was stunned and saw that the person coming was Qingyun. She was still a little frightened about last night, so she asked timidly, "Xia Xia, is there anything else?
The general has promised to let me go."
Qingyun smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to arrest you." As he said that, he took out a bulging purse from his arms and stuffed it into Li Erniu's hand, and said, "Take these back, my lady will give them to you."
Yeah, don’t always think about stealing it in the future.”
Li Erniu looked at the purse in his hand, full of emotion, and thanked Qingyun again and again, "Thank you, Heroine, thank you, Miss, for your great kindness. I, Li Erniu, will keep it in my heart and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life."
I must also repay her kindness."
Qingyun waved her hands and said, "Go back quickly."
After Li Erniu thanked him again, he turned around and left, his steps becoming very happy. Qingyun looked at Li Erniu's retreating back, her eyebrows slightly raised, her princess was really kind-hearted. Tap her toes gently.
, the leaves moved slightly, and there was no trace of anyone.
*******************************
Prince Chen’s Mansion in Beijing.
The maids, Qing Ruo and others who were kneeling on the ground in the Bieyi Pavilion did not dare to speak. Even Aunt Zhou was kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe out, just because the air pressure of the one sitting above her was too low.
Early this morning, Princess Ling'an and Ye Yili brought Concubine Yue to Prince Chen's Mansion. Qingruo and others hurriedly welcomed them out, only to see Concubine Yue raise her eyes slightly, asking to see Ye Fuxun. From then on, they
I went to find Ye Fuxun, so I could only deal with it first. Unexpectedly, Princess Ling'an exaggerated Ye Fuxun's condition in order to keep the world in peace. The noble concubine Yue doted on Ye Fuxun, which was good. I heard that Ye Fuxun
Fu Xun was too sick to get out of bed, so he became anxious on the spot and rushed straight to Bieyi Pavilion. Before Qing Qin was ready, he was caught on the spot.
"Where did your princess go?!" Concubine Yue's voice was a little cold, which made people's hearts tighten involuntarily. She bit her red lips with green teeth, thought for a while and said, "Princess, she... went out to play.
Already."
"Qingruo, I know that Miss Xun has always relied on you and has never regarded you as a maid, but as a sister. But do you know the consequences of deceiving me?!" Concubine Yue's voice was a bit ruthless and cold.
Looking coldly at Qing Ruo and others who were kneeling on the ground, he turned to look at Aunt Zhou who was aside, and said coldly, "Aunt Zhou, you are an old man in the palace. These maids are ignorant and come here randomly, and so are you.
Are you following this nonsense?!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Grandma Zhou quickly lowered her head and said.
"Now that none of you have told me where the girl Xun is going, how do you ask me to calm down my anger?!"
"Go back to the empress, the princess..." Grandma Zhou raised her head and glanced at Concubine Yue, but hesitated to speak. Concubine Yue gave a signal to Aunt Ding and ordered all the maids in the room to leave.
"Aunt Concubine Yue, if I don't go out, I just want to know where Sister Ye has gone." Princess Ling'an pouted her delicate lips and stood next to Concubine Yue. Ye Lili, who was about to go out, heard this, paused slightly, and followed.
Aunt Ding walked out and faced Princess Ling'an. Concubine Yue just raised her head and glanced at her lightly and said, "Get out."
Princess Ling'an curled her lips and reluctantly followed Aunt Ding out.
After everyone had gone out, Nanny Zhou cautiously said, "Princess, she went to Bianbei to find His Highness."
"Nonsense!" Concubine Yue's face changed slightly after hearing this, and she said, "Is Bianbei a place where a woman can go? Who did she go with? Are there any followers following her?!"
"I went with Vice General Dong's motorcade, with Miss Qingyun by my side." Aunt Zhou said truthfully. Concubine Yue, who was usually as calm as a pine tree, also looked anxious at this time and said, "I am here.
Just send someone to chase her back."
"Mother, you can't catch up. The princess has been gone for ten days now, and she is probably almost to the north. Besides, don't you understand the princess's temper? Even if you send someone to catch up, the princess will not
I will definitely come back with you." Aunt Zhou sighed and said, "Originally, those girls in Qingruo risked their lives to stop the princess, but those who can stop the princess cannot stop the princess. If she is strong,
If you really want to go to Bianbei, you have to sneak out even if you sneak out. Then you won't be even more worried if you don't take anyone with you." Aunt Zhou raised her eyes and saw that Concubine Yue had returned to her previous calmness, and then continued, "Princess
I insist on going to Bianbei not because of His Highness King Chen. Moreover, Vice General Dong will return to the capital after escorting the army rations, and the princess will naturally come back. Madam, this princess is brave and resourceful. If she is a man, she will be able to do great things.
She will protect herself well and will not cause any trouble to His Highness King Chen."
Concubine Yue glanced at Nanny Zhou indifferently and motioned for her to get up, "The princess is unwell and is bedridden. She cannot see visitors at all. If anyone visits, she will go back directly."
Grandma Zhou was overjoyed. Concubine Yue's situation was over. She breathed a sigh of relief. Then she got up. Concubine Yue hurriedly stepped forward to support Concubine Yue. She heard Concubine Yue sigh and say, "Girl Xun,
It’s just that you are too willful and act recklessly. You said it’s so dangerous in the north here.”
"Your Majesty, the princess is so willful. You are not your favorite. Besides, you just like the energy in the princess." Seeing that Concubine Yue didn't have much blame on her face, Grandma Zhou replied with a smile.
As soon as the door was opened, Princess Ling'an and Ye Yili gathered around and asked, "Auntie, where did Sister Ye go?"
Concubine Yue let go of Nanny Zhou's hand, took the hands of Princess Ling'an and Ye Yili and said, "Sister Ye, you think the capital is too boring, so you went out to play, but you two have to keep it a secret."
"Going to play?! Where did you go? Didn't you just say that Sister Qingruo lied to you?!" Princess Ling'an asked dubiously, and Ye Yili naturally took over the conversation and asked, "Yes,
My dear concubine, how could my sister leave the capital without saying a word?"
Concubine Yue coughed lightly and said, "Aren't you trying to scare that girl Qingruo to see if she deceives me? Don't worry, you two, your sister Ye is fine. She will be back in a while."
