Chapter 162: Weeping Night Flying Boat
Shi Liyuan didn't want to pay attention to her. It was childish, but he couldn't stand it if she set her sights on their little girl. No man could stand it. Killing the Guiyue envoy was really showing mercy. Next time, he wouldn't mind going to Guiyue in person and killing the Guiyue monarch.
Being able to send such an envoy to Northern Qi, I think the King of Guiyue is not a good person. He really didn't care about worldly affairs before, otherwise he should have nipped this trouble in the bud when the new King of Guiyue was still a hostage in Northern Qi.
Lord Emperor went to cook noodles. He thought their little Ayan must be hungry, so he had to cook a big pot of noodles.
Little Ah Yan was not polite at all at the palace banquet, nor was he affected by those bad things. He ate and drank as he should, and almost ate himself to death. When the noodles were cooked, he fell asleep on his jade chair.
So the noodles were given to the three people sitting outside, who ate so much that they knelt on the ground and called the Emperor "Tiantian Sui".
The next day, New Year's Day, Ye Wenyan opened his eyes on his bed in the First-Rank General's Mansion.
I haven't been back for so long that this room feels a little unfamiliar, and the pillow I'm using is not as comfortable as the one in Yanhua Palace.
There was the scent of agarwood in the tent, and she knew that Master Liyuan must have sat here for a long time after sending her back.
The flower-shaped warm jade belt made her no longer feel the bone-chilling cold even when she was away from him, and even the bed was warm. But it was still not as comfortable as sleeping on the bed in Yanhua Palace, even though the bedding was very good. After all, she was missing the person who would always sit by her side and watch over her. After all, when she opened her eyes, she no longer saw the stunning face of the Northern Qi Emperor.
She sighed slightly, thinking that it was really easy for this person to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to simple. In her past and present lives, she had slept alone for so many years, so how come she was already missing him and feeling uncomfortable after only being watched over by that person for half a month?
After lying there for a while, I heard someone gently push the door open.
"Miss, are you awake?" It was Xiangdong's voice.
She hadn't seen Xiangdong for a long time, so she lifted the curtain and smiled at him, "Hi, Xiangdong, long time no see."
Xiang Dong couldn't hide her excitement, but she still shook her head and answered seriously: "The young lady has been in the mansion the whole time, how come it's been so long? Yesterday, I sent the young lady to attend the palace banquet!"
She nodded, knowing that Xiangdong was always the most cautious, and the most important servant in her courtyard besides Nanny Ji. Now she insisted in front of her that she was in the mansion, which was almost like brainwashing herself so that she could always remember this "truth" and do it for others to see, and also lead all the servants in the courtyard to believe this fact.
So she didn't say anything more, just got up and washed herself under Xiangdong's help, and then watched Zhuier bring the breakfast in. Xiangdong said: "Originally, the breakfast on the first day of the new year should be eaten by the whole family, but the current situation in our house is not suitable for eating together, and the young lady got up a little late, so the eldest lady and the eldest young lady didn't wait for her."
Zhuier said, "Madam and the eldest daughter went to Qihua Palace, accompanied by Nanny Ji. They have been there for a while. They said they were planning to release the second master." After saying this, he sighed, "It's really a good deal for their family."
Ye Wenyan asked Xiang Dong: "Did my mother want to release the people herself, or was someone forcing her? What did the old lady say?"
Xiang Dong replied, "The old lady was sent back by the palace last night. They said she had a hysteria and was carrying an evil spirit. The emperor's order was read out, and she was not allowed to go out for a month. So the old lady has been staying in Fulu Courtyard since she came back. Even the maids and servants there have been very quiet and have not walked around the mansion. The eldest lady decided to release the second master's family herself. Since you, the fourth young lady, are fine, there is no reason to keep you locked up."
Xiang Dong said as he served her some porridge, "Before the Madam left for Qihua Pavilion, she specifically asked Dannuo to come over and tell her that the punishment she had received these days was almost enough, and that she couldn't really lock someone up or beat him to death."
Ye Wenyan drank half a bowl of porridge and put it down. He was not really hungry. He ate too much at the palace banquet last night and was still full.
She stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look at Qihua Pavilion."
Zhuier and Xiangdong followed quickly.
After half a month, Xiangdong was finally able to walk with her young lady in the general's mansion again. She felt a little emotional and excited. She whispered to Zhuier, "I have hardly left the West Courtyard these days. At most, I went to visit the eldest lady and the eldest young lady. There was another time when I went to Qihua Pavilion with the eldest lady to collect people. At that time, I had to hold back and didn't rush up to strangle the second master and his family of three to death."
Zhuier was also gritting her teeth in hatred, "Sister Xiangdong, you are still too restrained and too reserved. Even if you don't strangle them to death, at least a few slaps would be satisfying. After all, you will never get the chance again. You really wasted your chance. If I were in the mansion, I would definitely beat them up." She thought of the night of the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month when she carried Ye Wenyan back to Beijing, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then she resisted the urge to beat the second master's family to death. "Forget it, I have to restrain myself, there are still many days to come!"
Xiangshu nodded, silently reflected on why he brought up this matter, and continued to brainwash himself.
There were not many people at Qihua Pavilion, except for Ji Duo and Ji Rong. When they saw Ye Wenyan coming, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed. After announcing their names, Ji Duo said, "We will follow the master from now on and obey his orders."
Ji Rong also said: "No matter what the master tells us from now on, we two will do our best and will not be afraid of any danger."
She laughed when she heard that. "Get up. Although I can't do anything to make you go through fire and water, you can't avoid swords and sabers in the inner city of Lin'an. With you by my side, I can feel more at ease."
The two were very happy to hear this, especially Ji Rong, who stood up happily and felt more and more friendly towards Ye Wenyan no matter how she looked at him.
Ye Wenyan also liked this girl, so he said to her: "Girls, don't sleep on the stone table at night. It will be very cold and you will catch a cold easily. Although you all have martial arts skills, you still need to pay attention to what you should pay attention to. I hope to have two companions by my side, not two dead warriors who have to sleep in the open air."
Ji Rong was surprised, but Ji Duo remembered the sudden scent of flowers that wafted by that night, and the agarwood mixed in with the fragrance.
After smelling it carefully again, I realized that the young master standing in front of me was emitting the same smell as that night.
He suddenly realized that the person who came that night was not the Emperor, but this Fourth Miss Ye. But how could Fourth Miss Ye avoid Ji Nu's defense, come quietly, and leave quietly?
"Thank you for your understanding, Master." Ji Duo suppressed his doubts and continued, "It is my brother and I's duty to protect the Master's safety. Even if the Master is sleeping at night, I have to keep him awake at a certain distance." Ye Wenyan laughed when he heard it, "Really, if you two really protect me outside, I won't be able to sleep well. Okay, let's not talk about this. You have been guarding here all the time. Does that mean my mother has been here?"
Ji Rong said, "The eldest lady came early in the morning and released the second master and his family. They have already gone back. Master, don't worry. It was Madam Ji who went back with them. The second master and his family were not in a good condition, so there were no arguments. The servants just carried them back to heal their wounds. The second young master is still in the room, and no one knows what he is doing."
Ye Wenyan nodded, and then said to Xiangdong and Zhuier, "You guys wait outside too. I'll go in and take a look."
Zhuier and Xiangdong were a little worried. Xiangdong even said, "The Second Young Master is an expert. Miss, don't let anything happen if you go in alone. Young man from the Ji family, why don't you follow him in and take a look!"
Ji Duo shook his head, "The master said that we are not allowed to follow, so we are not allowed to follow. We cannot go against the master's wishes. Besides, the two girls really don't need to worry. There is nothing to worry about. After all, they have been locked up for so long, and the eldest lady comes to whip them every day. Even if the second young master is a master, he is basically half useless now. Even if he wants to harm the master, he doesn't have the strength, so we just need to guard outside."
In the study of Qihua Pavilion, Ye Feizhou was leaning on a soft chair, staring straight ahead with a pair of empty eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Fifteen days of imprisonment made the smell in this study room particularly bad, almost worse than a pigsty. Ye Wenyan frowned as soon as he entered the room, so he simply crushed a wintersweet, which improved the air around him.
She had been to this study room once a few days ago, at night. The situation at that time was better than it is now. At least Ye Feizhou was not as thin as he is now, and the color of his lips was not as white as it is now.
Hearing someone coming in, Ye Feizhou looked in the direction of the voice, but when he saw it was Ye Wenyan, he became a little excited.
He wanted to get up, but he got up too quickly and lay back down. It took him a long time to recover. Ye Wenyan looked at him carefully and saw that his clothes were dirty, his hair was messy, and the bloodstains on his shoulder where the knife had stabbed him had expanded. He was emaciated, his eye sockets were sunken, and his feminine appearance was more prominent in this state, just like a woman, with a kind of sad beauty.
He called her, "Little Four."
She remembered that when the original owner was very young, this brother would occasionally call her like this. It was not until many years later when he returned from martial arts training that he liked to call her "Little Four" even more.
"Xiao Si, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ye Feizhou sat up a little, called Xiao Si twice, said sorry twice, then lowered his head and covered his face, crying silently.
Ye Wenyan watched him cry, watched Ye Feizhou's tears flow out through his fingers, and suddenly he didn't know what to say...
