Early the next morning, Li Ye came to the palace and found Gao Lishi.
Li Ye said respectfully: "Mr. Gao, I want to see the imperial concubine. Can you make arrangements for me?"
Gao Lishi looked at him for a moment and said calmly: "The emperor no longer allows the imperial concubine to see foreign ministers, even the imperial concubine's family."
Gao Lishi's refusal made Li Ye really disappointed. He asked again: "Mr. Gao, don't you have any room for accommodation?"
Gao Lishi shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to help you. Yang Guozhong asked to see the imperial concubine the day before yesterday, but it didn't work. The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, so you should not enter the palace again."
Gao Lishi also felt a little guilty. He pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, you can make some changes. You can't enter the palace, but your wife can. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
"Thank you Gao Weng for the reminder!"
Of course Li Ye knew that his wife could enter the palace, but there were some words that were not easy for his wife to convey. He still wanted to meet Yang Guifei in person and explain it clearly to her. Otherwise, if Mrs. Guo Guo did something, Yang Guifei would hate him, and instead
The gain outweighs the loss.
But in the current situation, the only choice is for his wife to enter the palace.
Dugu Xinyue understands the righteousness well. She knows that her husband is facing a crisis now and he wants to give some gems to Mrs. Guo Guo. She also completely agrees that preserving one's wealth and life is the most important thing. Why should she care about gems that are external to the body?
She also knew that the imperial concubine would be angry, so it was necessary to explain things clearly to her.
Dugu Xinyue agreed to her husband's request and went into the palace to explain to the imperial concubine.
Li Ye handed a letter to Dugu Xinyue, "Find an opportunity to give this letter to her."
Dugu Xinyue took the letter and nodded without asking any questions. She then took out the gold box from the room and opened it. Inside was eight brilliant Caliphate gems.
Li Ye took out a rose-red gem and said, "I will give her one first. If she can help me, I will give her a purple one and a yellow one."
"Husband, she will become more and more greedy!" Dugu Xinyue reminded.
"I know she's greedy!"
Li Ye said coldly: "It's not impossible to give it all to her, but I will make her understand that if she shows her sincerity, I will pay my sincerity. She will get nothing if she robs her."
Li Ye came to Xishi and found Kangji Pharmacy in Xishi. This is the main store of Kangji Pharmacy in Chang'an. The shopkeeper is also named Kang. He is in his thirties and is the brother of the proprietor. Because the proprietor has been in Kangguo all year round, in fact,
The shop owner in Chang'an is the general manager of the drug store.
According to the discussion I had with my father-in-law and Dugu Ming yesterday, in addition to gems, there may be something else that can work wonders.
When he heard that Li Ye, the governor of the river, was coming, Kang Dongzhu quickly greeted him respectfully.
"Welcome His Royal Highness to the store!"
Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "I have something to ask Dongzhu Kang. This is not the place to talk."
"Please come to your guest room to have a chat with the prince!"
Dongzhu Kang invited Li Ye to his guest room and asked the waiter to serve tea.
Li Ye smiled and said: "When I came back last month, I visited your store in Zhangye. Does the owner know?"
Dongzhu Kang looked confused, "I don't know! The shopkeeper over there didn't tell me."
"Then he didn't tell you that Pei Changshi had been to his shop?"
"He said this and reported it in detail."
"The incident in the secret room has also been reported."
Kang Dongzhu's expression was very unnatural and he laughed twice.
Li Ye said calmly: "Pei Changshi is my uncle. I accompanied my uncle that day. I also entered the secret room and had the honor to pay homage to your afurong and straw jelly."
Dongzhu Kang was so frightened that he stood up and bowed, "It turns out that the young officer is the county prince. The shop owner didn't know. It's really rude. I apologize to the county prince!"
Li Ye waved his hand, "I don't blame you, the shopkeeper. I didn't let Pei Changshi reveal his identity, but aphrodisiac is not a good thing. Does the proprietor know?"
Kang Dongzhu nodded, "Taking a little bit is medicine, but taking too much is really harmful to the body. We are also afraid of getting into lawsuits, so we don't dare to sell more."
"Yeah?"
Li Ye said coldly: "But the emperor can't live without you, so aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Dongzhu Kang stood up in fright and waved his hands quickly, "Prince, don't scare me, I'm just a medicine seller and I can't bear such accusations from you!"
Li Ye stared at him sharply, "I'm not scaring you. You should know exactly what the medicine you are selling is. The slurry of goat's hornwort plus afurong. Do you think you can still survive?"
Dongzhu Kang was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He knelt down and kowtowed as if pounding garlic. "I can't help it, I just prepared it according to Eunuch Yuan's request. I also told you again and again not to eat too much, let alone for a long time."
Li Ye's eyes softened slightly, and he smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not here to cause trouble for you!"
Dongzhu Kang suddenly saw hope and said quickly: "Please give me the prince's orders. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"
"Of course you can do it!"
Li Ye said calmly: "I want the same aphrodisiac as the emperor!"
In the afternoon, Li Ye bought a table of wine and food in the Baiyu Hall of Anranju Restaurant in Pingkangfang and had been waiting for a long time.
At this time, there was a ring at the door outside, and the maid saluted, "See you, madam!"
"Has the host come?" This was the voice of Yang Yupei, the wife of Guo State.
"Already here."
Li Ye quickly stood up and went to greet her, "Madam, my humble duty has arrived."
Yang Yupei was dressed extravagantly. She wore a high-quality fox fur coat, sewn from more than a dozen fox skins. A strip of white fox fur around her neck was flawless and top-notch. She had a little powder on her face, and her skin was astonishingly white.
Under the thin eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom almond eyes are particularly enchanting.
She glanced at Li Ye with a half-smile and said, "It was you who said you wanted to give me a gift, so I came here. I won't pay attention to others, so don't let me down."
"I promise not to disappoint you, madam. Please sit down, madam!"
Yang Yupei came over with several maids. The maid quickly helped her sit down. Li Ye personally filled a glass of wine for Yang Yupei. As soon as the maid picked up the glass, Yang Yupei stopped her and said, "I will drink it myself. I can trust General Li!"
Yang Yupei took the wine glass and took a sip, smiling and saying: "What is it?"
Her enchanting eyes were full of anticipation.
Li Ye pushed a small brocade box to her. Yang Yupei opened the box, his pretty eyes lit up, and he held the box tightly in his hand. He stared at Li Ye with a pair of pretty eyes resentfully, "Didn't you say there is no more?"
Li Ye said helplessly: "I have to leave one for my wife!"
"Is this your wife's?"
Li Ye nodded. Yang Yupei thought for a moment and returned the box to Li Ye, "I don't want your wife's things!"
"She has a lot of good things, and I don't lack this one. It's what she is willing to give to you. Madam, please accept it!"
"Do you have something to ask me for?"
Li Ye nodded, and Yang Yupei sneered, "You only come to me when you need something, and you don't usually come to visit me when you have nothing to do?"
Li Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, I'm basically not in Chang'an."
"That's true. It seems that I blamed you wrongly."
Yang Yupei leaned closer to Li Ye and whispered in Li Ye's ear: "What do you want to ask me for?"
This feeling is too ambiguous, but Yang Yupei likes this tone very much.
Li Ye glanced at the maids behind Yang Yupei. Yang Yupei chuckled and said, "They were all waiting beside me when I had sex. What are you afraid of?"
"Madam, what I want is not romance!"
"Really? It seems I may have misunderstood."
Yang Yupei looked back at the maids. They all retreated, along with the maids serving in the room.
Li Ye and Yang Yupei were the only two people left in the whole room.
Yang Yupei brought Li Ye's wine glass over, drank it all in one gulp, and poured it on Li Ye's shoulder.
She rested her head on Li Ye's shoulder, pulled his hand over, put his arm around her waist, and said with charming eyes: "Your wine is too strong, do you want to get me drunk and do something wrong?"
"lady."
Yang Yupei waved her hand and said: "Don't call me madam, I don't like it. Call me sister."
Li Ye had no choice but to say slowly: "The Emperor is going to relieve me of my military duties. I don't want to lose my military power. I also want to continue looking for gems for my sister!"
Yang Yupei chuckled. She put her arms around Li Ye's neck, kissed him on the face, and said with a smile: "I just like the way you beg me."
"Sister, I'm not begging you, I'm exchanging with you."
Li Ye glanced at the box on the table.
"It can be exchanged. The slave family agrees to your request and keeps your military power. Isn't it the governor of Anxi and the governor of Hezhong? Yes! It's just a matter of my words, but in addition to the gems, the slave family wants one thing, which you have been unwilling to give.
The slave’s stuff.”
Yang Yupei may not like Li Ye, but as long as her sister Yang Yuhuan likes something, she wants to take it.
