The house arrest continued endlessly. When she learned that the group of people escorting Bai Qige were only three or four towns away from the imperial capital, Yi Chenjing almost went crazy.
It was rather rash to write a letter to Ning Xizui and ask him to escort Bai Qige into the palace. Although the atmosphere in the palace was not quite right, there were no signs that something had happened to Emperor Yao. The person waiting at Ziyun Palace to deliver the message was still Tao Eunuch Tao Shihai. Lian Yi The little eunuch who was placed in Ziyun Palace by Chen Jing also said that he had seen Emperor Yao sitting in the inner palace with his own eyes. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with him. Yi Chenjing couldn't tell whether he was uneasy or overly worried. In short, he always felt that Ning Ning was in trouble. Entering the palace while drunk is not a wise decision. But I can't convince myself not to do it.
It was related to Bai Qige's safety. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't stay calm.
Bai Qige colluded with the enemy and was dismissed from the army and escorted back to the palace. The whole city was in turmoil. The officials in the previous dynasty were very quiet and kept themselves safe. However, the harem caused a huge wave. Jin Zhaoyi was about to follow the eldest prince to the fiefdom. He still took the trouble to run to the East Palace every day. He was no less anxious and worried than Su Yan.
"Has His Highness the Crown Prince been turned away? It's the same when I go to see the Queen. I refuse to see you no matter what. Now the only one who can ask the Emperor to take back his life is the Queen. What should I do..."
"I don't ask her to speak for Qi Ge. As long as she is willing to tell me whether my father was coerced by others before issuing the imperial edict. But she..." After all, she is the mother of a country. Yi Chenjing cannot go too far. What's more, she is the mother of a country. He also knew some of the past grudges. There was a reason why the Queen refused to go to Ziyun Palace. But in this way, the only opportunity to find out about Emperor Yao and to talk about it would be gone. He might as well have Suiliang by chance. No matter how anxious you are, you can only sit and wait.
One night in the chaos, an uninvited guest came to visit from the wall. The strange thing was that this person did not come to see Yi Chenjing. Instead, he went straight to Ye Huawan's room.
"Who are you? Are you Brother Zhan's friend?" Ye Huawan saw the man wearing a guard's court uniform and hanging a pass. He immediately thought of Zhan Ting as a guard. Because he was in the East Palace, he didn't feel scared. Instead, I felt a bit curious.
The man was fair-skinned and very polite in every move he made: "You deserve to be disturbed by Ye Nuxia. I am Song Mujie, the head of the guards. I am also very familiar with the guards. I came here today because of Bai... oh, because of the matter of the Crown Princess. Because of something It's a big deal. I don't know anyone else, so I think of Ye Nuxia, whom the guards often mentioned as being 'chivalrous, courageous and promising at a young age'."
Ye Huawan has admired Qiao Qingxu since she was a child. Unfortunately, although she runs the famous Yiye Villa in the world, she has never had close contact with those people. When Song Mujie called her a heroine, she immediately developed a good impression and hurriedly moved the chair. Sit down for Song Mujie.
"Brother Song said it was Sister Bai's fault. Isn't Sister Bai on the way to be escorted? Did something happen again?"
"The problem is not with the Crown Princess. It's mainly with the Emperor." Song Mujie hesitated. He opened and closed the door and carefully observed it several times. Only when he was sure that no one was there, he returned to the table and lowered his voice. "Nvxia Ye doesn't know something. I'm the head of the bodyguards. I often report to the emperor on the situation in the palace. When I met the emperor in the past two days, I heard a piece of news that I always wanted to tell the prince. But the prince is very suspicious. I was once a guard of the Five Emperors. Even if I think about it, His Royal Highness the prince will not believe it. I have no choice but to come to Miss Ye."
"Ah. Is the emperor going to punish Sister Bai?" Ye Huawan was shocked. Her little face turned pale with fear.
Yi Chenjing and Fu Chu didn't want Ye Huawan and Li'er to come into contact with the rights and wrongs of the former harem. Ying Er never told them too much about power struggles and grudges. Naturally, Ye Huawan didn't know that Song Mujie was Yi's wife. Chen Xuan was a confidant. Seeing his sincere attitude and seeming anxious, he believed it. Thinking that he could finally help out, he added Song Mujie to his 'own' team without even thinking about it.
Song Mujie said nothing about Emperor Yao's situation. He only raised his fingers and motioned for Ye Huawan to come closer: "Ye Nuxia, please think of a solution quickly. The emperor plans to order the execution of the Crown Princess when she returns. The imperial edict has been drawn up."
"How can this be done? Is the emperor a fool?" Ye Huawan made a cry. Ye Huawan accidentally kicked over the stool and jumped up. Her voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Keep your voice down. Keep your voice down, my aunt." Song Mujie hurriedly covered Ye Huawan's mouth. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. "My aunt, this is the palace. The walls have ears. You are not afraid of death, but I am. Can't you keep it public? If someone hears it and spreads it out that you and I have slandered the holy name, even ten heads are not enough to cut off." Ye Huawan's excitement was beyond Song Mujie's expectation. He let go of Ye Huawan who nodded desperately with lingering fear. Hua Wan. Song Mujie patted his chest and took a deep breath. He forced himself to calm down: "Ye Nuxia can't talk about this matter everywhere. Especially His Highness the Crown Prince. He doesn't believe me. Maybe it will spread out and say that I revealed the news. .I don’t want to be bitten if I don’t think I’m a good person. Isn’t Ye Nuxia very familiar with people in the world? Why not call some helpers to kidnap the Crown Princess before she returns to the palace. That way no one will know that it was you. Prince The concubine will also be spared from death. If there are any grievances, they will be carefully investigated and verified before being reported to the emperor. On the one hand, it can clear the grievances of the crown princess. On the other hand, it can avoid conflicts between His Royal Highness and the emperor. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "
Ye Huawan tilted his head and thought for a while. He still felt that he could not shoulder this important task. He couldn't help but look embarrassed: "Then... I will go find my senior brother and Brother Zhan to discuss it."
Upon hearing that Ye Huawan was going to find Zhan Ting and Fu Chu, Song Mujie hurriedly stopped in front of the door: "Why is Ye Nuxia confused? Mr. Fu is a retainer of His Highness the Crown Prince. Are you going to not tell him anything? Besides, people. What should I do if I talk too much and let too many people know about it? It will delay important things. In my opinion, it is better for Ye Nuxia to handle this matter by herself. You are the owner of Yiye Villa. It should not be a problem to find some people in the world to help. Well. Let’s just say…”
"Say, what are you talking about? I'm just asking for help. What's the problem?" Ye Huawan's child is most afraid of people deliberately provoking her. Song Mujie seems to have doubts about the appeal of Yiye Villa. Ye Huawan is a small villager. The Lord immediately puffed up his chest and said loudly, "I was just afraid that Senior Brother and Brother Zhan would be worried. I didn't say I wanted to tell them."
Song Mujie saw that Ye Huawan had no doubts. He smiled smugly in his heart. He immediately leaned down and coaxed her: "That's right. Yiye Villa is famous in the world. How can such a trivial matter trouble Ye Nuxia? Going out of the palace and other matters I will make all arrangements for Ye Nuxia. How about we leave early tomorrow morning."
"Oh, tomorrow. So soon. You have to go too."
"The escort team is not far from the imperial capital. If we delay any longer, we may not be able to save people in time." Song Mujie controlled his expression and tried to make his smile look sincere and sincere. His tone was full of bewitchment. "Nvxia Ye, this is what made you famous in the world. What a great opportunity. Don’t miss it.”
"Yes. I'll wait for you here tomorrow." Ye Huawan responded simply. The girl's heart was filled with restlessness and desire for expression.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether she can become famous in the world. She is still young and remembers her master's teachings that she must first learn etiquette and righteousness before she can travel in the world. But this time Ye Huawan really doesn't want to miss the opportunity. Not only for her favorite sister Bai Qige .At the same time, it is also for the sake of another person. To make myself of some use. To make him look up to me and praise me.
At the end of the second watch, Zhan Ting had just undressed and went to sleep. There was a rustling sound outside the door. He opened the door carefully, and his petite figure slammed into his arms.
"Brother Zhan, accompany me to count the stars."
He looked up at the night sky covered with dark clouds. Zhan Ting's face was full of sorrow: "Stop making trouble, Ye Zi. I have to get up early to go to the General's Mansion tomorrow."
"A little while. Just a little while won't do. I can't sleep. Please stay with me." Ye Huawan shook Zhan Ting's sleeves, acting coquettishly and coquettishly. The little girl showed her true nature. Zhan Ting had no choice but to accompany her. Ye Huawan was sitting in the courtyard with a cool night breeze. Before she could even have a cup of tea, she was yawning all the time. Her eyes were gradually unable to open.
"Hey, Brother Zhan. If I could become as powerful as Aunt Qingxu, could I also be with you?" She finally blushed and asked, but got no answer. Ye Huawan turned her head slightly in disappointment. Looking up, I saw Zhan Ting's face and eyes, which were sleeping deeply. They were clean and peaceful.
His cold little hands tentatively tugged at Zhan Ting's eyebrows. He heard a muffled groan. Zhan Ting, who had already fallen asleep, subconsciously moved his head. He lay on the stone table and continued to sleep soundly.
Probably because he was exhausted from running around during the day. Ye Huawan felt a little distressed. She wanted to ask him to get up and go back to his room to sleep but was a little reluctant. After walking around the stone table twice, he still couldn't make up his mind. Familiar face, familiar smile. Familiar. Zhan Ting's clumsy expression was no different from the first time she saw her when she was a child. It's just that Qiao Qingxu was there at that time. There was no lonely look in his eyes occasionally. Now that she has grown up, he has not aged yet. .But the hearty woman who connected them has already returned to her hometown. Thinking about it, I feel sad.
"Brother Zhan. I like you. I will accompany you instead of Aunt Qingxu and take care of you for the rest of your life. Just wait until I grow up. Then marry me when I grow up, okay?" She trembled and leaned in Zhan Ting's ear. Whispering. Ye Huawan rubbed the red circles of his eyes and forced out a sweet smile. Then he lowered his head slightly, and his lips brushed across Zhan Ting's cheek like a drop of water.
If the first love for Yi Chenjing was that of a young girl, then Zhan Ting was the first person that Ye Huawan really liked. She thought about it seriously and considered it. Watching his joys and sorrows, watching his love rise and fall. So in There is a place in my heart that cannot be replaced by anyone else.
Covering her mouth to hold back the cry that was about to come out. Ye Huawan bit her lips and shed tears silently for a long time. Thinking about who she would soon start walking for, the inexperienced girl was scared. Afraid. What's more, it's yearning and expectation.
She no longer wants to be held in someone's hands and protected. She wants those who love her to know that when she grows up, she will use her own strength to protect the people she loves.
After crying for a long time, Ye Huawan pulled up her sleeves and wiped away her tears hard. Ye Huawan stretched out her hand and twisted Zhan Ting's face hard. She bared her white teeth and smiled at Zhan Ting, who looked confused and miserable, and slowly retreated to her room. .Until the tears that welled up again blurred his eyes, he couldn't even see clearly the movements of him rubbing his face.
"Sister Bai, please wait for me. I will rescue you soon." Ye Huawan sat on the ground with his back against the door panel. Ye Huawan hugged her knees and trembled. Her little fists clenched the corners of her clothes. She was afraid but also eager. Come as soon as possible tomorrow morning.
