In the inner hall, Li Ye listened to Aunt Gongsun's latest discovery.
"Your Highness, I have already interrogated the swordsman following Mrs. Yang. He is a subordinate of Yong Wang Li Lin. He has been following Mrs. Yang since last year. However, his goal is not Mrs. Yang, but to find the whereabouts of the noble concubine."
Li Ye took a breath of air. Prince Yong Li Lin had actually been looking for the whereabouts of Yang Yuhuan. He actually stared at Yang Yupei and followed the clues. I have to say that they were quite smart and were on the right track.
"Did he find anything?"
"He almost discovered the imperial concubine. Fortunately, he did not follow Mrs. Yang into the restaurant. But at least one thing he is sure of is that the target he is looking for is in Longyou."
"Has his message been sent out?"
Aunt Gongsun shook her head, "He hasn't had time to send out the news, but King Yong already knows that Mrs. Yang will settle in Longyou, and I'm afraid he will send people to check in the future. I suggest that the inner guards send people to keep an eye on Mrs. Yang from the outside, not to monitor her.
, but found out in time that someone was following her."
Li Ye nodded, "Auntie's suggestion is good. I will make arrangements. In addition, let's deal with that person!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already taken care of it."
Aunt Gongsun bowed and left. Dugu Xinyue, who was sitting next to her and remained silent the whole time, said, "Husband, how come after so many years, there are still people looking at Yuhuan?"
Li Ye thought for a moment and said: "I guess Yong Wang Li Lin wants to deal with the Supreme Emperor."
"But King Yong is not afraid of annoying his husband?"
Li Ye shook his head, "He probably doesn't know that Yuhuan is here. He may think that Yuhuan is a monk somewhere."
"Then what do you plan to do, husband?"
"Don't tell Yuhuan about this first. I will follow the aunt's plan and send internal guards to keep an eye on Yang Yupei to protect her safety! After all, she has contributed dozens of large boxes of gold and silver to my army."
Dugu Xinyue covered her mouth and smiled: "Speaking of dozens of big boxes, the dozens of big boxes that my husband brought back from Luoyang are still in the back house. When will we open them and see what treasures they contain?"
Li Ye smiled happily and said: "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten it. Why don't you go and take a look now? I remember that there is a very special box. I marked it."
When the couple came to the inner house, Dugu Xinyue sent someone to find Yang Yuhuan and Qingyu together. Soon, they also hurried over.
Qingyu's lower abdomen was obviously bulging, and her big belly was quite inconvenient. She needed Yang Yuhuan to support her.
The box is stored in an empty courtyard. Of course, there is no need to worry about thieves. If a thief sneaks into the back of the palace, it will be a big deal. Three hundred internal guards are deployed outside the palace, ten feet away from the high wall of the palace.
No one can come close inside.
Large boxes were stacked neatly in the room, a total of fifty-three large boxes, all brought from Shi Chaoyi's treasure house.
Of course, Li Ye also has his own collection of treasures, such as the treasures left to him by his grandfather Li Linfu, as well as the collection of trophies over the years, but they are temporarily stored in the warehouse of the Longyou branch of Baoji Cabinet. There is no treasure tower in his house yet.
Once built, all treasures will be moved into it.
Li Ye quickly found the large box that was marked with a flower painted on the side with red paint.
"What's in the box?" Dugu Xinyue asked curiously.
Li Ye shook his head, "I don't know either. It is hidden alone in a secret room. I guess it is more important."
There was a golden lock on the box. Li Ye didn't have the key, so he simply broke the lock.
Opening the box, there is a layer of golden satin inside, and the satin package is full of large and small wooden boxes.
"Are they all treasures?"
Dugu Qiuyue frowned, "Aren't there any treasures like calligraphy and painting?"
"It seems to have!"
Seven or eight scrolls were taken out from the bottom, each of which was put in a white silk bag. He carefully took out one and slowly unfolded it. Yang Yuhuan recognized it at a glance, "This is Zhang Xu's "Drunken Ink Book", which is a Tibetan scroll."
At the eldest princess’s residence.”
"Where is this painting?"
Li Ye unfolded another painting, and Dugu Xinyue smiled and said: "I have seen this painting before. It is "Wei Zheng's Remonstrance" by Yan Liben."
Li Ye unfolded several more calligraphy and paintings, all of which were works by famous artists of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, calligraphy by Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, paintings by Wu Daozi, and an original piece of "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" written by Zhang Ruoxu. Li Ye liked this scroll the most, although both
He was a famous artist in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but all of them are rare treasures.
"See what's in the box?"
After all, Qingyu was young and preferred treasures. She took out a delicate box and said with a smile, "What could be inside this?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "You'll know if you open it and take a look?"
"Sister, have I opened it?"
Dugu Xinyue was still admiring Zhang Xu's "Drunken Ink Book", so she nodded, "Go ahead!"
Qingyu slowly opened the box and suddenly exclaimed, "What beautiful beads!"
Everyone looked over and saw four round beads as big as egg yolks placed in the box. They were crystal clear and extremely precious.
Yang Yuhuan took it and said with a smile: "This is a gift from the palace. There are twelve boxes of large-scale luminous beads. This is just one of them."
"So beautiful, I like it!"
"If you like it, just accept it! I'll look for it later and find a box each for Xinyue and Yuhuan."
At night, in Yang Yuhuan's hibiscus tent, a silk sac was hung on the top of the tent. Inside was a night pearl the size of a dove egg, shining with a faint cold light.
Yang Yuhuan was lying in her husband's arms, with a trace of intoxication after extremely lingering love in her eyes.
"I'm really happy to see my third sister today. Although we had so many conflicts and suspicions in the past, we have experienced the difficulties of life and death, and we know the preciousness of sisterly affection."
Li Ye lazily said: "I just hope that your third sister will stabilize and stop fussing."
"She probably won't be able to do it! She has four children, so what else is she bothering with?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "It is her nature to toss, and it is difficult to change it, but I will send someone to protect her and let her toss within a controllable range."
Yang Yuhuan thought of something and said with lingering fear: "Today, Aunt Gongsun found a swordsman hiding under her car. I wonder what this man wants to do. Is he sent by his enemies?"
Li Ye explained vaguely: "The aunt has already reported to me that your third sister showed her wealth in Chengdu and was targeted by someone. This person wanted to steal her money. Fortunately, the aunt discovered it, otherwise what might have happened?"
"Next time I will remind her not to be so careless, as it is really easy for someone to catch her."
Li Ye was a little tired and couldn't help but yawned. Yang Yuhuan hugged him and said with a smile: "I won't bother you tonight. We will do the morning ritual tomorrow morning."
Yang Yuhuan stood up and covered the beads with a cover. The room immediately dimmed and the two fell asleep hugging each other.
The next morning, as soon as Li Ye arrived at the official residence, Li Mi and Liu Yan hurried over, followed by Qiu Xuan.
"Your Highness, something has changed in the Taiyuan negotiations."
Li Ye has also been paying attention to the Taiyuan negotiations, which are related to the direction of the situation in the entire Central Plains. This is actually an end to the Anshi Rebellion through negotiations, and the formation of separate vassal towns. This is indeed a historical rule, but the time is two years ahead of schedule.
"What happened?"
Qiu Xuan handed a piece of information to Li Ye, "This is the information sent by the Taiyuan Intelligence Agency. Please take a look at it."
Li Ye looked at it and was slightly startled, "Zhang Hao is no longer the leader of the negotiations. Why?"
"The official explanation is that the level of the other party's negotiator is too low, and there is no need for the court to treat him with high standards."
"This is such a lame excuse!"
Li Ye sneered: "Li Huaixian is not an equal force to the imperial court, and he still insists on equality of standards. Isn't it a joke?"
Li Mi said from the side: "It should be the eunuch group who hacked Zhang Hao behind his back. Zhang Hao was replaced. Now Yuan Zai is the envoy. I wonder what the outcome of the negotiations will be?"
Li Ye shook his head, "Yuan Zai actually came to power on Li Fuguo's lap. Yuan Zai was the chief envoy. In fact, it was the eunuch group that led this negotiation."
