It was very late when Sima Xichen came back. The candlelight had been extinguished, and Ye Fan's appearance could not be seen clearly in the shadow. He could only see a quiet figure lying on his side, with a steady breath, but a vague feeling of sadness.
The air is filled with silence.
The early morning light dyed the window white. Ye Fan got up lazily. He didn't sleep well last night and looked a little tired. He opened his eyes, turned sideways, and met Sima Xichen, who was sleeping next to her in clothes, and smiled slightly.
I was stunned for a moment, when did he come back?
"Wake up." Sima Xichen's smile was faint, there was something hidden in his eyes, and he looked at her quietly.
Ye Fan was startled, slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "You must be alert. I woke you up just as I was about to get up. How was Miss Shang last night?"
Sima Xichen nodded and said calmly: "Wu Huai is not an unreasonable person. Yesterday Shang Xiuli went there, argued for a few words, and started fighting with Wu Ying'er. Wu Ying'er is Wu Huai's daughter and also has a daughter.
He has good martial arts skills and is equally beautiful as the monk. The two started fighting and fought each other. When we rushed there, Wu Huai had already separated the two of them and was trying to persuade them. It's okay."
Ye Fan nodded and said: "I also heard from my father that Wu Huai is a good general in the court. He is also ambitious, has good martial arts, and is very strategic. He is still there now.
Is it? If this continues in the long run, it is not a long-term solution. I am afraid that in the end, it will be just riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. It will only take a short time to trap these people in the rivers and lakes. If the time is longer, people everywhere will become anxious. I'm afraid
If you know how to find him and start taking action, no one will be able to take advantage of you."
Sima Xichen nodded and praised: "You are indeed smart and thoughtful. Wu Huai is also a smart man. He intends to withdraw, but he just doesn't know how to tell the emperor. He has asked someone to send a message to your father, asking him to
Please explain it to the emperor."
Ye Fan did not nod, but he felt worried in his heart. Now, the emperor is thinking about annihilating Aolin Villa in one fell swoop and completely disposing of Sima Rongyin's remaining power. If his father goes to dissuade the emperor at this time, he is afraid that it will cause trouble.
.If the emperor refuses to retreat and vents his anger on her father for marrying her to Sima Xichen, I don’t know what will happen.
"What are you thinking about?" Sima Xichen asked with a smile.
Ye Fan looked at Sima Xichen quietly and said lightly: "I'm thinking about my situation."
Sima Xichen frowned slightly and said quietly: "Some things were planned before you showed up, but when you show up, I will try my best to prevent the harm you imagined from happening. It was indeed intentional.
I want to use your identity to make it easier for us to get close to the current emperor, and even deal with him directly. However, now that I have married you, I will naturally not let you take such risks and indirectly harm the people.
Prince Ye, after all, if you think about it, he was once a guard in front of my mother."
Before Ye Fan could speak, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" Sima Xichen raised his voice slightly.
The people outside said softly: "Young Master, this is He Ming. Wu Huai sent someone to bring a message, saying that the emperor has just issued an imperial edict. In half an hour, they will start to attack Aolin Villa, so Young Master should be prepared.
"
Sima Xichen frowned and lowered his head in silence.
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and he really hated Su Qingmin for causing all these troubles. He said: "I want to see Wu Huai, Su Qingmin should be at his place!"
"Forget it, I'm still angry when I go. Since Wu Huai came here with the message, he definitely doesn't want to make a sneak attack. Even if they attack, they won't be able to take advantage. Just stay here and I'll go out and take a look.
"Sima Xichen said with a smile.
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "This matter happened because of me. I must go. Maybe I can prevent the situation from getting worse. In fact, if the emperor had already had doubts in his heart, he would definitely be angry that I married Aolin Villa and did something to my father.
I was dissatisfied, and I was afraid that if my father went to talk to the emperor about withdrawing from the army, he would be angry. I was also worried that my father would get into trouble because of this, especially in the court, there was an example of Mr. He who had a bad relationship with my father.
, I will definitely provoke him at this time, I must go to see Wu Huai and ask Su Qingmin how he misinterpreted the letter I wrote to my father!"
Sima Xichen wanted to stop her again, but Ye Fan had already stood up, washing and changing clothes. The expression on his face seemed to leave no room for negotiation. He had no choice but to let her go. Anyway, with him by his side, nothing would happen.
.
After leaving the room, I saw He Ming standing at the door with a serious expression on his face. I was a little stunned when I saw Sima Xichen and Ye Fan coming out together, but I didn't know what to say.
Sima Xichen hugged Ye Fan and climbed onto the horse. When he saw the melancholy expression on Ye Fan's face and the slight thought between his eyebrows, he couldn't help but smile. This little girl even looked like she was thinking about things.
She is so cute, with her around, no matter how miserable things are, they are still happy.
Hearing the sound of wind ringing in his ears, Ye Fan was thinking about how to face Wu Huai and how to talk to Su Qingmin.
People were already gathering in Wu Huai's barracks, which seemed a bit chaotic. Sima Xichen jumped off his horse, and Ye Fan followed him and jumped off his horse. He stood there, quietly looking at the chaotic crowd in front of him, and said softly but clearly: "Inform Wu
General, just tell Ye Fan that he needs to see you for something!"
The soldiers looked at Ye Fan, who was standing quietly in the morning light. She was a delicate woman with a beautiful face and light pink clothes. She exuded an air of elegance like water, but her temperament had an undoubted nobility and reserve.
After hearing the announcement from the soldiers, Wu Huai immediately came out. He had met Ye Fan, a quiet and gentle woman who had never had any conversation. Wu Yinger walked out with her father and looked at Ye Fan curiously.
Fan and Sima Xichen stood side by side in the morning light, an enviable pair of jade-like figures.
"It turns out it's Miss Ye. Why are you here in the barracks?" Wu Huai asked gently. He was very fond of the delicate woman in the morning light. She was a woman about the same age as his own daughter. She was as gentle and charming as she was young and beautiful.
"I'd like to trouble General Wu to come out to greet him in person. Ye Fan has no choice but to interrupt." Ye Fan smiled and said lightly, "General Wu, please allow Su Qingmin to come and meet Mr. Su. I have a few questions that Ye Fan would like to ask."
Meet Mr. Su."
"This-" Wu Huai hesitated.
"Ye Fan didn't mean to make trouble. When you were preparing to attack Aolin Villa, I came here to chat about family affairs. I really have something to ask Mr. Su. Can you ask him to come out and see Ye Fan?" Ye Fan stood in the morning light.
, Quiet, but her heart was full of annoyance and resentment. She hated being planned by others so much. Why did Su Qingmin open her letters privately and cause such trouble!
Wu Huai nodded and said loudly to the people around him: "You guys should disperse first. Miss Ye, Master Lin Shao, please go to the tent to speak. If you come, please ask Mr. Su to go to the tent and speak."
Miss Ye came here personally to visit him."
After entering the camp, Sima Xichen sat down in the chair with Ye Fan. Ye Fan's hand in his was a little cold and trembling slightly. It could be felt that Ye Fan was extremely upset at this time.
