At this time in the imperial study, the emperor was crouching on the desk and drawing. He didn't know what he was painting. In short, he stood here for a long time without moving or even taking a sip of tea.

Until someone came from the royal study room, the emperor's expression did not change at all, but he stopped writing.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the border. The Marquis of Dingguo is trapped at the border. I am afraid that the food and grass will not last long. I don't know how long the border defense line can last." The man knelt down in front of the emperor.

When the emperor heard this, he didn't look anxious at all. Instead, he said, "How many days can it last at most?"

"A conservative estimate is five or six days at most..."

"Yes, then we can still hold on. Let Marquis Dingguo hold on, he has never let me down, and this time will be no exception." The emperor waved his hand.

There are certainly situations that are even more tense than now, but every time Ding Guohou can perform a miracle.

But this time, the person who knew the situation well at the border boldly chose his words and said: "Your Majesty, according to reliable information, Qiaoguo seems to be very aware of our Jingguo's defenses and has breached several strongholds in succession. If this continues..."

But before he could finish his words, when he noticed the emperor's cold gaze, he was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground and said, "This is a subordinate who made a mistake. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The emperor glanced at him and waved his hand, "Drag him down."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, spare your life! Spare your life, I will never dare to do it again..."

However, before he could say anything, the guard next to him had already blocked his mouth and dragged him away.

But the expression on the emperor's face never changed.

He continued to pick up the pen and draw one stroke after another on the rice paper. Finally, when the painting was completed, the emperor dried the ink and stared at the content of his painting, "Two pythons are hunting... I don't know who will win in the end." Who is it?"

There are two extremely huge pythons in the painting. Their bodies are entangled with each other on a scarred sheep. One python is staring at the prey's throat, and the other is gnawing tightly on the fattest part of the sheep.

To use a painting as a metaphor, Ye Jia is now a coveted fat sheep.

……

When the letter from the border came back, the capital city probably already knew about it, and everyone knew that the Ye family was now besieged on all sides.

But no one would lend a helping hand to Ye Lan. Instead, they were waiting for the moment when the Ye family fell, and then came over to add insult to injury, and squeezed in to share a bowl of soup.

However, Yelan still refused to admit defeat and still tried to find a way to sell the shop.

However, the results were not good.

Aunt Hualan told Ye Lan about the current situation, "Girl, Concubine De Gui suddenly broke the contract. We have been trying to find ways to contact others to get rid of it as soon as possible, but... all the people who were interested before now have rejected us, and no one has People are willing to buy.”

This is too funny.

Ye Lan's shop can make a lot of money every day, but now no one cares about it.

"Girl, if we can't find a shop to get rid of, our affairs in the private house..." Yunzhu on the side is no longer as calm as before, and his voice is trembling.

There was an oppressive atmosphere in the sky above Fanghua Garden, as if a layer of haze shrouded them all. Not only was the sun unable to penetrate this layer, it was too big.

Ye Lan didn't speak, but at this time there was movement outside the house, and Lan Yu's slightly surprised voice said, "Miss, Shen Shizi wants to see you."

"girl?"

Yunzhu and Aunt Hualan both looked at Ye Lan.

Outside the door, Qingye shouted in disgust, "Shen Shizi! This is the inner courtyard! How dare you, a foreigner, break in!"

Shen Yan followed Lan Yu, but Qingye stopped them in front of Youth Garden and gave them a cold look.

Lan Yu glanced at Qingye and smiled disdainfully: "Qingye, you have no place to speak here! Prince Shen is here to find the girl, you let the girl speak out."

"You, Lan Yu! How did you..." Qingye looked at Lan Yu who looked like Shen Yan's maid, pointed at her and said in disbelief, "When did you hook up with Shen Shizi!"

"Oh, it's none of your business!"

Lan Yu looked sideways at Qingye. After finishing the game, she snuggled next to Shen Yan, pointed inside and said, "Come, Crown Prince, I will take you in now."

"Who allowed you in?"

Qingye opened his arms and stood in front of Fanghua Garden.

Seeing Qingye being so stubborn, Lan Yu stepped forward and wanted to slap her, but by then the door had been opened and Ye Lan walked out.

"Shizi Shen, you are very resourceful. The loyal maids around me are all fascinated by you. Do you think so, Lan Yu?"

Lan Yu heard the woman's cold voice, and her hand stopped in front of Qingye's face.

Although she had betrayed Yelan long ago, she still had a deep fear of Yelan and couldn't help but hide behind Shen Yan.

Shen Yan smiled, pulled his sleeves out of Lan Yu's hands, and looked at Ye Lan unabashedly, "I came uninvited today because I have something important to discuss with the eldest lady. The eldest lady will not Shut me out?"

"No way, but this is the inner courtyard, we can go to the front hall."

It is impossible for Ye Lan to receive Shen Yan in the inner courtyard.

However, Shen Yan smiled, his voice a little frivolous, "The front hall is too far away and I don't want to go there again. I just want to talk in the girl's youth garden."

"You're a bastard!" Qingye scolded angrily with a livid face. He didn't expect Shen Yan to be so rude.

Shen Yan cleared the folds of his clothes and looked at Ye Lan leisurely, "I have to go in, can you stop me, Miss? You should know very well why I'm here."

At this time, several maids present could see that Shen Yan came here determined to humiliate Yelan.

But in this situation, can Ye Lan refuse?

The letter from the border had just arrived in the morning, and Shen Yan couldn't wait to come to the door in the afternoon.

He obviously told Ye Lan that this matter had nothing to do with him, Shen Yan.

Yelan stood there and looked at Shen Yan's "gentleman" face for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yunzhu, Qingye, please tidy up and entertain Prince Shen in the pavilion."

This is the biggest concession Ye Lan can make.

And Shen Yan didn't push any further, and sat down with Yelan in the pavilion of Fanghua Garden. At this time, refreshments were already served on the table.

Shen Yan poured himself a cup of tea slowly, not even forgetting about Ye Lan.

When the cup of tea belonging to Ye Lan was handed over by Shen Yan's hand, Ye Lan didn't even look at it and said straight to the point: "Shen Shizi, since you are here, how about cutting out these red tapes and opening the skylight to speak frankly?"

"You drink the tea I poured first, and then we can start talking." Shen Yan's eyes fell on the tea in front of Ye Lan.

Yelan knew that this was Shen Yan's intention. He knew that she hated him, so he forced Yelan step by step and trampled on her bottom line, in order to satisfy his inner desire for revenge.

The hands in the sleeves tightened slightly, but Yelan didn't move for a long time.
