The Haunted

After that, Ye Yingzhi lived in Chi Yan's temporarily rented mansion, and they really lived a normal married life with him.

The people in the Yong Dynasty were more open, and although there were fewer cases of marrying male wives, it was not very surprising. Some of the neighbors had met Ye Yingzhi, and the servants at home also generously explained that she was Mrs. Chi's wife.

Chi Yan was terrified at first, every night when Ye Yingzhi hugged him into his arms, he didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to make too much noise, but he didn't dare to refuse what Ye Yingzhi did, and he obeyed the other person Come.Later, he gradually got used to it, and he was no longer as tense and stiff as before, and his body relaxed somewhat, but it was still not as sticky and intimate as when he was newly married.

Ye Yingzhi sometimes sighed and kissed his forehead and eyes while he was asleep, but she also knew that there was no good way, only to let Chi Yan get used to it slowly.

The scientific examination ended in May, and Chi Yan took office in June, and it didn't take long for Ye Yingzhi to find him.The official office is busy with affairs, Chi Yan's new official took office, and he was even more in a hurry. He dealt with official affairs during the day, and at night he had to satisfy Ye Yingzhi's request, and felt that the days passed extremely quickly, and the end of the new year was coming soon. end.

But it hasn't been an uneventful year.

The emperor of the dynasty stayed ill for three years, and finally passed away at the end of October.His heirs are thin, leaving only a young son who is less than five years old.

Of course, a four-year-old child can't do anything. The court was in chaos for a while. After all the forces fought openly and secretly, they finally decided to invite King Heng to serve as the regent.

Chi Yancai had just entered the officialdom, and he was a soft-spoken person, not even qualified to go to court every day.He didn't take the initiative to stand in line to find trouble, even such major events as the death of the former emperor and the battle of the previous court had nothing to do with him, so he just heard some gossip and continued to do what he was doing.

It was rumored that Heng Wang and the first emperor were actually brothers, and Heng Wang was born of the empress, he was the only legitimate son, logically speaking, he should inherit the throne.But he was weak since he was a child, and he was recuperating from illness all the year round. Later, due to various reasons, he was made emperor by his concubine brother, now the late emperor.As for the inside story of the previous generation's struggle for the throne, why the always healthy late emperor suddenly contracted a sudden illness three years ago, and why Heng Wang, who had not returned to Beijing all year round, was embraced as the regent, the matter in the meantime was not Chi Yan. Even if he knew about it, he didn't have much interest in inquiring about it. Even if he inquired, he couldn't inquire about such things.

At the end of the year, it is indispensable to walk around the officers, but Chi Yan doesn't have much savings, and he can't get support from his family, so there are very few gifts that can be handed out.When the housekeepers of several officials' homes saw the gift list, obvious contempt flashed in their eyes.

But Chi Yan didn't take it seriously.He was taught by his husband since he was a child, so he can't help but have a bit of a bookish spirit. He is not good at and disdains these things of clinging to relationships.

At the end of the year, the household department checked the accounts and found a deficit. Chi Yan originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, and continued to work as his errand as usual. Unexpectedly, after going to the office one morning, he saw a group of official errands waiting in his office room. , He and several officials in the same room were arrested and put into the prison, charged with embezzling household funds without permission.

Chi Yan also has a few friends in the capital, most of whom he met while preparing for the scientific examination.One of them is named Xu Feng, who is from the capital, and his family has a little background. After passing the exam, he was assigned an errand in the household department, and he often invited Chi Yan out for small gatherings.

He was the first to react when he heard about the household affairs, and hastily entrusted someone to visit Chi Yan in the prison, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Brother Chi, you are on the right track. What happened this time is obviously Someone above wanted to cover up the person who really caused the deficit, so they had to find a scapegoat from the household department. You see, the people arrested this time all have no background and background, and they don’t have the favor of those officials in Beijing. But now It’s not that there’s no other way, I’ll inform your family, find officials who can speak up, act early, and get you out.”

Of course, Chi Yan understood that what Xu Feng said was mostly true, and it was for his own good, but at first he felt that he was really innocent in this matter, and he still had a glimmer of hope that the world would never be so confused about right and wrong, right and wrong. ; Secondly, he really has nothing to do with him in the capital, even if he goes to activities, the effect may not be great.

Seeing his hesitation, Xu Feng guessed what he might be worrying about, and sighed with a hammer: "Brother Chi, that deficit is not a small amount, the Regent has already started to investigate it himself, maybe it is a From the beginning, I want to find out the person behind it. The people who are really involved are naturally in a hurry to find a scapegoat. When life and death are at stake, what do you have to worry about?! You don’t care about those relationships, people only communicate with each other One word, one affection, one interest, most people's relationship is not deep enough to talk about love, that is, money and interests pave the way, if you spend more money, someone will come forward to protect you!"

Hearing this, Chi Yan was even more silent.His salary is meager, controlled by his stepmother at home, who seldom gives him financial support, and has supported the family's food and clothing for more than half a year, so he has not saved any savings at all.Now that the matter is urgent, even if he repairs the book and asks the clan for help, it may be too late.

Xu Feng was loyal, and said directly to Chi Yan: "You don't have to worry about the money, you can just take it from me if you don't have enough. When you are alive, you will always be able to pay back."

He was also afraid that Chi Yan would not know which officials could have a say in this matter, so he analyzed it with Chi Yan and concluded: "Only these few adults can make the decisions. I will inform your family members and ask These adults are going to do some activities."

Chi Yan nodded, feeling indescribably grateful in his heart, finally just nodded, and replied softly, "Brother Xu will have to thank you then."

It is said that Xu Feng personally went to Chi Yan's house to tell Zheng Bo the news.After all, the old man had little experience, and Xu Feng said that it was a serious case. If he was really wronged, he might be in danger of being sent to prison or even beheaded. He was so frightened that he almost fainted.

After Xu Feng left, he scrambled and ran into the room to see his wife.Uncle Zheng knew how much Chi Yan's salary was, and after deducting the daily expenses of supporting the family, there was not much left.Madam didn't need his young master to hand over his salary, so Chi Yan's monthly salary was handed over to Zheng Bo to take care of it. Chi Yan was an upright official, and the old man lived carefully every month and didn't save too much money.It is impossible to impress those greedy wolves and tigers with this little money.

So Zheng Bo decided to ask his wife for help.He knew that his wife had a rich family background, the so-called "marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog", if the young master puts his life on the table, the wife must not sit idly by.

After hearing what Zheng Bo said, Ye Yingzhi's face turned gloomy. After asking what Xu Feng said, he pondered for a moment and said, "When I came, I asked Xingyu to bring 50 taels of silver notes with me. I know if 50 is enough to save Ah Yan's life."

Uncle Zheng was startled when he heard this, he knew that his wife's family was rich, but he didn't know that when she came out, she casually brought 50 taels of bank notes!He had never imagined such a huge number in his life!

Ye Yingzhi softened his face slightly and turned to him, comforting him: "Uncle Zheng, you can arrange it. How much money is needed, just get it from Xingyu, don't be stingy. I also have some connections in the capital, so I won't Let something happen to Ah Yan."

Zheng Bo took reassurance from his wife, and hurriedly went to the younger maid, Xing Yu, to draw the check.This matter was so important that he didn't dare to hand it over to others, so he and Xing Yu went to visit and give gifts to the officials instructed by Xu Feng.

Chi Yan had nothing to do in the prison, so he could only sit and wait for news, but Xu Feng was the only one who could get first-hand news from the court and move into the prison.

He couldn't fall asleep because of his worries, so he lay down on the cold and rough prison stone bed with closed eyes and dozed off that night. During the half-dream and half-awake period, he felt something cold wrapped around him, blowing cool air on the back of his neck.

Chi Yan was startled, thinking that there must be something unclean in this prison, when he quickly opened his eyes to look, he saw Ye Yingzhi lying behind him and hugging him, seeing him open his eyes, he moved quickly Covering his mouth with his hand, he whispered in his ear: "Ah Yan is not good, how can he not come home at night and let my husband stay alone in the empty room."

Chi Yan was already full of humiliation and resentment for being wronged, but when he heard this, he felt even more wronged, and turned to look at him with hatred.

However, Ye Yingzhi's heart fluttered when he saw him, she smiled slightly, kissed him on the back of the neck and murmured: "Baby, hold back, don't make a sound, don't invite people... My baby has been wronged, Come here and let Wei Fu take good care of you."

Chi Yan was tossed wantonly in the prison all night, and he didn't dare to make a sound, even the slightest movement at the prison door made him nervous, for fear that others would find out.It was only later that he realized that Ye Yingzhi must have used some kind of blindfold, so their reckless behavior was not discovered in the end.

When he woke up early the next morning, Ye Yingzhi was no longer there, but he was refreshed and didn't feel tired, and he didn't know what Ye Yingzhi was doing.

There are ways to clean it up for him.

In this way, Chi Yan was imprisoned for ten days, but he didn't suffer much.After all, they have official positions, they all live in single cells, and they don't use any punishment. Every morning and evening, little ghosts with green faces and teeth come out of the wall to deliver food to him, without saying a word, just put down the lunch box and go Let's go, come back in an hour or two and take back the stone box. The meals in the food box look like the craftsmanship of the master Zuixianglou in the capital; After going to him a few times, the normal married life was not delayed at all because of his imprisonment.

Once Chi Yan struggled to fall asleep, and found out that Ye Yingzhi used some kind of magic technique after finishing him, and brought him to an extremely rich and beautiful place.

In the majestic mansion, he was washed in a hot spring pool carved with black jade, and then he was carried back to the soft hibiscus bed with a golden gauze curtain, and he was coaxed to sleep until the next morning. He goes back to prison.

Perhaps it was Zheng Bo who got his place. One night, a man who looked like a butler came to visit Chi Yan and said with a smile, "Lord Chi, you are a smart person. My lord wants to help you. There will be an interrogation tomorrow, no need Master Chi can do other things, all you need is for Master Chi to identify Liu Suzeng who shared your room with you and returned to the government office alone on the night of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year."

Chi Yan frowned inwardly, and asked as calmly as possible on the surface: "Then who is your lord?"

The butler smiled, dipped in sleep foam and wrote the word "cloud" on the table, with a rather proud face on his face.

The surname Yun is not common at all, Chi Yan can only think of one Yun family that is famous in the court nowadays, and that is the former empress's mother's family.At that time, the Yun family supported Xian Di Deng

Ji, the daughter entered the palace as the queen, and the two sons sealed their chancellors and paid homage to their generals.Although the late emperor had passed away, the young emperor was still descended from the late empress, and the power of the Yun family was still unshakable.

However, the Yun family relied on this to secretly form cliques, manipulate the government, and persecute courtiers. Although no one dared to offend them openly, they were just and at ease.

The family has one party, and there are not a few officials in the DPRK who are dissatisfied with it.

Naturally, Chi Yan had also heard about the deeds of the Yun family, looked at the man in front of him, pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "But even though I was on duty in the tenth day of the lunar new year, I didn't see Master Liu ever coming back."

The butler's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "This is not a trivial matter, Mr. Chi has thought it through clearly? My lord does intend to help Mr.

The adults understand the truth by themselves, don't waste all the painstaking efforts of your family members. "

Chi Yan realized that it was indeed Zheng Bo and the others' activities that had paid off, and he didn't know how much they had sent to Yun Xiang's party to impress them.

He perjured his peers to frame his peers. He would never do such a thing.

So he narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "Yes, I have indeed never seen Mr. Liu."

The butler understood what he meant, and his expression turned extremely ugly in an instant, and he said: "Lord Chi, it's better not to seek your own death!" Then he got up and left.

Chi Yan smiled. He indeed regretted his life and wanted a better life, but there are things people can do in this world, but there are things they can't do.

Those who can whip a man, I will also do it; if you can't ask for it, follow what I like."

If he is asked to be the lackey of the Yun family in exchange for rising to the top, wealth and glory, and betraying the axiom and justice that he insists on in his heart, then he refuses;

He trades for his own peace and happiness by framing his colleagues, and he will not do that either.Even though Liu Su had a normal relationship with him, he even treated him a little harshly.But this is his principle and persistence, and has nothing to do with what kind of person Liu Su is.

Of course he also knew that he was so "disobedient", not to mention that he could not get the support of the Yun family, he was even hated by the master of the Yun family, and his situation was worse than before.

He and Xu Feng have a strong friendship. When Xu Feng came to visit the prison and found out what had happened, he couldn't help nodding Chi Yan's head and scolding him: "Ruler, do you know what you got into this time? You don't want to go with Yun, Even if you stand on the opposite side of them, if you dare to go against the Yun family, no one will dare to save you this time, but you will be accused by them ten to one!"

Of course Chi Yan understood early in the morning, but Xu Feng's words made him realize that his future is indeed difficult this time, and it may be difficult for him to be exempted. Can you be so lawless and frame courtiers? Can no one rule them?"

"Of course there are." Xu Feng hated him for not being flexible, he dug a dead end for himself, and snorted, "If His Royal Highness the Regent is willing to stand up for you, of course the Yun family would not dare to make things difficult for you."

But who is the Regent?Xu Feng knew in his heart that although His Royal Highness Prince Heng had only returned to the palace to take charge of the government not long ago, he actually had the upper hand from the moment he returned to the palace. In the end, they didn't fight this prince, and now they are also being suppressed, but the centipede is dead but not stiff, Heng Wang is busy with the affairs of the northwest border, and has not had time to deal with this group of people.In name, he is the regent, but in fact he has the same power as the emperor, but if he wants to go up to the heavens, it is not so easy for the regent to be the master of a small seventh-rank official like him.

Of course Chi Yan understood the meaning of Xu Feng's words, but as if he had found a life-saving straw, he took off his coat, tore off a piece of his inner garment, removed a straw from the straw mat, and dipped it in the corner of the wall. Hei Hui hurriedly wrote.His outer robe was already stained with dirt, but his inner garment was still white and clean, so Chi Yan deliberately tore off his inner garment to avoid appearing disrespectful.

He hastily wrote a petition letter, rolled it up and handed it to Xu Feng, and asked: "Brother Xu, please help me to post this letter to His Royal Highness Prince Heng's residence. As for whether the prince will read it or not, he doesn't care after reading it." , just do your best and obey the destiny.”

"You, you are looking for trouble!" Xu Feng scolded fiercely, but he couldn't refuse his friend's earnest request, so he finally helped him this time, and spent a lot of time helping him to send the letter to the regent. On the palace.

In the evening, Ye Yingzhi naturally came to see Chi Yan in the prison as usual. After unbuttoning his coat, he found that there was a piece of his inner coat missing.

Bian rubbed his palms together and asked in a low voice: "A Yan, tell me, who has you been torn apart here?"

Chi Yan was bullied wantonly by him for several days in a row before he was willing to explain to him, turned his head away and kept silent, but Ye Yingzhi used this as an excuse to severely punish him.

Three days later, Xu Feng also brought the latest good news, saying that the Prince Regent had read his letter of love, in short, he had heard about the Ministry of Household Affairs,

And he was furious, and ordered a special person to conduct a thorough investigation, thinking that he would be able to return his innocence.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the case to come to light, and took this as an opportunity to find out a major corruption case, and all the people involved in the case were dealt with.

However, people like Chi Yan who were innocently implicated and wronged were all released and the officials were reinstated.

On the day of release, Zheng Bo and Ye Yingzhi went to pick Chi Yan home together, Xu Feng went to visit Chi Yan's home, and said during the meal: "Chizi, this time you can turn the crisis into safety, thanks to the Regent. In terms of love and reason, you should go to pay a visit and thank you, even if you can't see the prince himself, you should at least hand in a greeting card and express your heart."

"Although this incident apparently did not affect the Yun family, the regent sent Lu Xueyou who committed the crime, which is equivalent to breaking a powerful arm of the Yun family. The Yun family has always retaliated, and will definitely hold grudges. In my heart, they have nothing to do with the Prince Regent himself. Maybe they will find out the petition letter you wrote at that time, and then blame you. In addition, you clearly refused to cooperate with them at that time. I am afraid that the Yun family will not let it go this time. over you."

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the power of the Yun family has not been as strong as before when the regent came to power, it is as easy as crushing an ant to kill a small official like us. They don't even need to do it themselves, they will naturally appear. The minions try to figure out the master’s intentions to deal with you. So now you have only two ways to go, one is to resign and return to your hometown before they make trouble, and stay away from these right and wrong from now on; As your backer, you must at least make them feel that you are already the prince's person, and they dare not touch you easily."

Chi Yan studied hard for [-] years and finally got to where he is today. Naturally, he doesn't want to resign from office and return to his hometown, let alone face his stepmother's family. Therefore, it is indeed his best choice to pay a visit to the Prince Regent to show his affection. s Choice.

King Heng is the true son of the phoenix and the grandson of the dragon, and now he actually controls the important figures in the court. It must not be easy to get close to him and win his favor

thing.

Even so, Chi Yan had to give it a try now.Besides, it is true that he owed his salvation this time to the Regent, whatever else,

Thank you anyway.

Chi Yan had no intention of being summoned by the Prince Regent, but personally prepared a thank-you gift and sent it to Prince Heng's Mansion along with the thank-you letter, and prepared to leave after seeing the things left by the housekeeper.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked out of the gate, the butler hurriedly stopped him, bowed respectfully and said: "Master Chi, please stay, my lord invites Mr. Chi to come in and talk."

Chi Yan was surprised to hear that, but King Heng's orders had to be obeyed, not to mention it was really an honor for him to meet King Heng.His heart

Zhong couldn't help being apprehensive and apprehensive, and cautiously followed the butler into the room.

The butler led him all the way to divide the flowers and blow the willows, through the corridors, around the Qushui Huachi, and finally stopped in front of a majestic and solemn house, respectfully said:

"Lord Chi, the prince is inside, please come in."

Thinking of meeting such an important person, Chi Yan couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed, so he hurried in after saying "Yes".

After he went in, he realized that it was a little strange, King Heng wanted to see him, but he was not in the study, it was like a bedroom instead.He changed his mind, toward

Wild rumors said that the regent's physique was extremely weak, and he had been sick all year round and needed to rest, so it might not be a surprise to see him in the bedroom.

The furnishings here made him feel vaguely familiar.

Chi Yan glanced at the hibiscus bed with the golden gauze hanging from the corner of his eye, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

The place he returned to was exactly the same!

Chi Yan realized something in an instant, at this moment a familiar and cold voice sounded behind his ears, and at the same time, a faint coolness enveloped him,

Ye Yingzhi didn't know when she appeared, and hugged him gently from behind, kissed him on the left temple, and said with a light smile, "Having been married for so long, doesn't it mean that Ah Yan still doesn't know that her husband is Shan Mingheng?" , welcome it?"

Ye Heng, King Heng... Ye Yingzhi is actually the regent of the dynasty? !

Chi Yan was taken aback for a moment, recalling all the things that happened along the way, the old butler who sent him here clearly had a shadow, and there was never a time when the regent had already passed away.

Rumors of his death...then Ye Yingzhi...is he a human or a ghost?Or is it that he has already deceived the civil and military people of the whole dynasty and the people of the world? !

Trembling, he turned back to look at Ye Yingzhi, who was handsome and pale, with a slight green look on his lips, his eyes were bottomless, his whole body was cold, even under the midday sun, he was the only one on the soles of their feet The shadow of Ye Yingzhi, not to mention the things Ye Yingzhi had done... Chi Yan would not believe that he was human.

Then it can only be explained that he is dead, but the news of his death has not been revealed, and Ye Yingzhi himself is too powerful, not only can he be good

Living in this world, he can even deceive everyone.

Chi Yan's thoughts changed sharply, but Ye Yingzhi didn't care about it, he just grabbed Chi Yan's wrist and pressed him to the sandalwood table in front of him.Yandu

Babadi personally delivered it to the door, there is no reason for him not to enjoy it.

Chi Yan was thinking about something in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to Ye Yingzhi's actions for a moment. After he realized it, the situation was already over, and he could only struggle a few times symbolically.

Then, he asked vaguely like a sob: "So what are you calling me for..."

Ye Yingzhi bit his collarbone hard, darkened his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Of course I want you to be the princess..."

……

Of course, other places are not as neat as his own land. Compared with the palace, the mansion that Chi Yan rented for the time being is also too cramped and shabby.

Anyway, his identity has been completely exposed, Ye Ying thought that he didn't enjoy himself enough, so he asked Chi Yan to live in his palace.

How dare Chi Yan resist him.In the past, I was afraid that he was not a person in the world, but now I put this aside, the so-called "officials crush people to death", Ye Yingzhi is not only a ghost, but also a ghost with high authority, and he can control Chi Yan's seven As the sesame official, Chi Yan must of course obey his wishes.

It's just that going in and out of the palace every day will inevitably attract criticism.Chi Yan didn't dare to easily disclose his relationship with Ye Yingzhi to the public, so in order to deceive others,

Often, after going down to the government office, they go back to their own residence first, then slip out through the back door and take a sedan chair to the palace, and then enter through the back door of the palace.When it's time to go to the Yamen the next day, follow this order and go back to your own home in reverse, pack up and go to the Yamen from the front door of your house.

But there is no wall that is not exposed to the wind, not to mention the identity of the regent, there may be many eyes staring at him secretly.

Then gradually there were rumors in the dark that a small official named Chi Yan from the household department had volunteered his life to become a servant in the tent of the regent in order to cling to the powerful.

Pet.

Originally, not many people believed this rumor, not because they thought that court officials could not do such a thing—even most people who heard about it did not know who Chi Yan was, but thought that the regent How can people be easily included in the account.

until once.

Hu Jian, the servant of the household department, is a member of the Yun family, and the former minister of the household department is also a member of the Yun family. However, because of the previous deficit case of the household department, the minister of the household department was arrested together. King Heng is in charge, so the Yun family dared not speak out.The newly appointed Minister of the Household Department is not a member of the Yun family, and he is cautious and moderate as an official. Naturally, Hu Jian is not as comfortable and domineering as before in the Household Department.

Hu Jian was in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he was very clear about what happened at that time. He hated him so much, but he had nothing to do with King Heng and his new chief.

The Yun family also had some resentment against this Chi, so they took their anger out on Chi Yan.Prime Minister Yun specifically asked them not to cause trouble recently, and he would not do it obviously, but after all, he has been an official for more than [-] years, and there are many small tricks to toss people quietly, which only teach people to suffer. .

Chi Yan happens to be under the servant of Hu Shilang, and he arranges a lot of trivial and disgusting tasks, but the time is still tight.Account books of the Ministry of Accounts cannot be taken out

In the official office, he had to check the accounts every morning when he went there. He didn't even have time to eat and drink water, and he often left in a hurry until the curfew time.

He came home late, so Madam Chi was naturally dissatisfied.But Chi Yan didn't want him to be troublesome, so Ye Yingzhi restrained himself, but after holding back twice

I can't help it.

This day Chi Yan was working in the yamen again, and the Chinese New Year would be coming soon, the others went back early these days, only Chi Yan stayed late.today also with

As usual, before it was time to go down to the government office, the officials in the government office were already thinking about it.

Hu Jian worked in the main room, Chi Yan and the other three worked in the east room, and Shang Shu and other officials in other places.At this time only see the household

Bu Shangshu walked in accompanied by a middle-aged man dressed as an eunuch. The eunuch was born with a kind face, white and fat, and everyone was smiling, but anyone with a little knowledge at the scene knew that this was not an ordinary person—his name His name is Fuhai, and he used to serve with King Heng when he was the prince, but later King Heng left the palace to rest, but he was left in the palace. It is said that the first emperor was oppressed in the palace after he ascended the throne, but he endured it all Down, until now King Heng regained power, his status in the palace has also risen, and he has become the most powerful chief eunuch in the palace.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this person is the confidant of the Prince Regent.

The person who was close to Chi Yan in the same room knew that Chi Yan was new and had no background, so he didn't know most things, so he came over and secretly confessed to him.

This Fuhai is the Prince Regent's man, so he cannot be offended easily.

Chi Yan's heart trembled when he heard that this person was Ye Yingzhi's subordinate.

However, it was already westward at this time, but it could still be seen that there was a shadow under the eunuch's feet, it was a living person.

Even though he knew that most of Ye Yingzhi's little ghosts wouldn't dare to harm him, Chi Yan couldn't help but feel apprehensive every time he came into contact with them.

At this time, Hu Jian also rushed out to greet him, but Fu Hai directed the little eunuch beside him to open the door of the east chamber as if he had already figured out everything, and greeted Shang Shang beside him.

The book said: "I am in charge of the affairs of the palace, and I can't manage the affairs of the adults, so I am not here for any official business, but Mr. Chi has been working hard for days, His Highness King Heng feels sorry for Mr. Chi, and asked me to give him some nourishment and nourishment." Here comes the soup."

All the people present were shocked.They all knew who Fu Hai was. If Fu Hai said that he was delivering the soup on behalf of King Heng, it could never be a lie.

If you say distressed?Heng Wang and Chi Yan have no relationship or reason, so why should he feel distressed?

Reminiscent of the previous rumors, everyone understands in their hearts.

Shang Shu was even more frustrated.He is the highest official of the household department, so he naturally knows what Hu Jian is doing, but he has always been moderate,

He didn't think it was necessary to offend Hu Jian and the Yun family for the next little official, so he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, but he didn't expect to offend the regent!His Royal Highness King Heng sent the chief eunuchs around him to do this, and he must have been very dissatisfied in his heart.

After Fu Hai delivered the soup to Chi Yan, he smiled and left, but this time, who would dare to keep Chi Yan in the yamen?He dared not leave unless he left Shangshu.

Chi Yan had no choice but to leave, but he always felt that others looked at him differently.

Ye Yingzhi made such a move, although Chi Yan was a little annoyed, but he didn't want to get angry at the other party, because he felt that Ye Yingzhi was after all for his own good, so

After going back, Chi Yan didn't mention this matter, other than returning home earlier, everything else was the same as before.

Until this matter became more and more widespread, even Xu Feng ran to him in disbelief to confirm the authenticity of the news. Those who knew the officials of the DPRK and China but did not know each other, saw

He would always salute and say hello politely, and the treatment was completely different from before.

Chi Yancai couldn't help but complained when Ye Yingzhi held him down and bullied him again that night: "...in the eyes of my colleagues, I have become an Israeli servant."

Ye Yingzhi hurriedly coaxed him: "Where is Ah Yan serving people in Israel, it is clearly I serving people in Israel. Sir Chi does not need to serve me, but I have to do my best to serve Master Chi every day."

Chi Yan was so ashamed and annoyed by his rambling words that even his eyes were red.

Ye Yingzhi felt pity and love when he saw it, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. He hugged Chi Yan in his arms and kissed and kissed again, and finally pondered for a moment and said: "Ah Yan, in the current situation, if I want to marry you, I'm afraid it will be those who The courtiers will not agree. Now that the matter has come to an end, we simply disclose our relationship and tell them that you are the princess that I, Ye Yingzhi, is marrying, is that okay?"

Of course Chi Yan didn't agree to make it public, but Ye Yingzhi didn't say anything, just hugged him and gave a low laugh.

But Chi Yan will soon be able to temporarily avoid the gossip and gossip in the capital, because this year he has a total of [-] days of Spring Festival holiday plus ancestor worship leave and family visit leave.

Take advantage of the Chinese New Year to go back to my hometown.

Chi Yan originally didn't want to go back, but he entered the imperial court as an official after high school. In the eyes of the clan elders, it was a great event to honor the ancestors, and he must come back to worship the ancestors.What's more, he decided to marry and married a wife abroad, and according to the rules, he had to bring his wife back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

Chi Yan has no feelings for his father and stepmother, but he studied in Zongxue since he was a child, and later on all the way to study and take exams, he mainly relied on the support of his clan.

Not an ungrateful person, several clan elders wrote letters one after another asking him to go back, and he had to go back even if he didn't want to.

There was only one thing that he was still worried about, so before leaving, Chi Yan specially took care of Ye Ying once, and then asked Ye Ying when he was in a good mood.

Said: "I have already told the family Xiushu that I married a male wife, so you just need to follow me when you go back this time. If someone makes things difficult for you or disrespects you, you must bear it for my sake." Some, I will take the lead for you."

Ye Yingzhi was not satisfied with what he heard at first, but after hearing that Chi Yan would stand up for him, he felt better, so he responded lightly to save face.

However, the scene on the day of departure still exceeded Chi Yan's expectations. In his original arrangement, it should be light and simple, two carriages, and two carriages hired.

Husband, only Ye Yingzhi, himself, Zheng Bo and two attendants accompanied him.

Unexpectedly, a horse team appeared outside the palace that day, three large carriages, the middle one was made of high-quality red sandalwood, decorated with gold and jade,

The fine woolen felt curtains are hung outside, which makes it look extremely noble.Outside the carriage was surrounded by more than a dozen guards in Jiejia and riding on tall black horses, with extraordinary momentum.And there are more than 20 guards waiting in front of and behind the convoy.

Chi Yan looked at Ye Yingzhi in surprise, and Ye Yingzhi also looked at him quietly and said, "Ah Yan, don't be naive, the regent will go back to his hometown with the princess to worship his ancestors and visit his relatives.

The road is high and the road is far away, bandits are rampant, you and I have different identities, how can it be regarded as a child's play. "

Chi Yan was so blocked by him that he couldn't speak, and felt that what Ye Yingzhi said was really reasonable, so he accepted the other party's arrangement.But he forgot that his family Hengwang didn't even

People are not counted, so they are afraid of bandits and bandits.

Chi Yan felt as if he was being haunted again, he followed Ye Ying into the carriage in a daze, was bullied by him, resisted once in a while, and then got tired

He fell asleep and fell asleep until he woke up again. He looked at Ye Yingzhi and said, "You, are you going to go back with me as King Heng?"

Ye Yingzhi took it for granted, "Of course, otherwise, how would I have a second identity? How can I explain my background to your family?"

Chi Yan was speechless, but Ye Yingzhi continued to educate him with earnest words: "Marriage is a major event in life, so Ah Yan still wants to keep our relationship a secret for the rest of his life?"

Chi Yan thought to himself that there is no life for you old man, but in the end he didn't say much.
