Ye An talked and talked, and finally brought little princess Ye Lian back to the palace.

At the same time, the secret guards who went to look for the princes also sent back news one after another.

The second prince, Ye Heng, was wandering around the imperial city like a headless fly. For one time, he rescued a woman who sold her body to bury her father.The second prince turned around and went to the busy market to buy some food, and ate all the way to his grandfather's house in Taifu's mansion.

Mu Li and Jiang Jing's son Mu Xuan, about the same age as Ye Heng and Ye Ke, was called into the palace by Ye An when he was very young, and served as the second prince's companion. Ye An guessed that Ye Heng probably went to find his companion.

Because there was a prince who married Su Xie Zhuyu before him, Ye An couldn't help but wonder if the same pattern would also appear in Ye Heng, but Ye Heng is a very heartless cub, besides loving food, he also loves money. I didn't see how much he cared about other people besides his family.

Love to eat, there are clues when I was a child. Love for money is probably because I have been out with Ye An for these years, and I have too many poor days, so that after entering the palace, there is always a sense of unreality. The second prince likes to hide all valuables. His residence didn't even have any decorations, it was like an inn instead, Ye An couldn't screw it up no matter what, so he could only let him go in discouragement.

When Ye Heng went to Taifu's mansion, Ye An was quite relieved. Taifu Mu is the elder of Ye An, and Ye An badly ordered the hidden guards to come directly to arrest him, and ordered the hidden guards to wait for Ye Heng to play enough before bringing him back. palace.

The third prince, Ye Ke, and the second prince, Ye Heng, have very different personalities. They have always been obedient sweethearts. Although they sneaked out together this time, that is, they wandered around crowded places and did not have any conflicts with anyone, nor did they do anything. It was an amazing move, it was very easy to follow the third prince's hidden guard all the way, and he is probably on his way back now, and we will see each other in a short time, Ye Anyong can just wait.

The dark-bellied fourth prince, Ye Chen, has thrown off the experienced guards since he came out of the palace. The secret guards who were in charge of following the fourth prince were in a hurry. The fourth prince could not be found anywhere outside the palace. Xiao, where can I go, there is really no way to report it to the emperor, so I asked the emperor to decide, Ye An also became anxious, and dragged Mu Ci to find Ye Chen, but when he passed by Zhaoyang Palace, he found that the black-bellied boy had disappeared at some point When I came back, I was drinking tea leisurely.

Ye An was so angry that he went up to have a gentle meal without saying a word, this unfilial son who always teased his father, sneaked out without saying a word, and sneaked back without saying a word!

Ye An's father's attitude towards his son and daughter was really different.

Ye Heng, who was staying in the Taifu's mansion, received the warm hospitality from the Taifu and Xiao's family. Xiao personally cooked and cooked a table full of delicious food for his relatives and grandchildren. Ye Heng fell into the honey vat like a fly. , are a little bit reluctant to leave.

After eating enough, Ye Heng was satisfied, remembering the purpose of coming to Taifu's mansion this time, he said seriously: "Grandfather, can you marry my little uncle to Heng'er?"

The eldest brother of the crown prince married his companion Su Xie. Ye Hengsheng was afraid that his father would want him to marry his companion. He didn't like his younger cousin Mu Xuan. He thought that the older Uncle Mu Yuan was a good person. Would you like to ask? Can be substituted.

It was said that Mrs. Mu, Xiao Shi, Mu Li, Jiang Jing, and Mu Yuan himself all dropped their chopsticks in unison.

Taifu Mu had reached a consensus with Mu Ci privately, and tried not to let the Mu family produce another crown princess or concubine, so that the Mu family would not stand in line with the princes, but he didn't expect that there would be someone like the second prince who directly asked for it. Your Highness, he is only 13 years old, right?Mu Yuan is an uncle, how can this work? !

Mu Li got up, no matter what prince or not, he lifted Ye Heng by the collar and carried him out of the hall.

Taifu Mu reprimanded: "A Li, he is the prince after all, what is your attitude!"

Mu Li gritted his teeth and said, "The seniority is messed up, what kind of attitude do you need!"

Mu Li was a little annoyed that Ye Heng didn't like his son Mu Xuan. In the past, Ye Xiaoan didn't like him, but liked his elder brother. Now Ye Xiaoan's son doesn't like his son, but likes his younger brother. What's the matter?

It's not that he insisted on his son entering the palace, but the frustration that fell from the sky was really weird and he couldn't bring it out.

Ye Heng was not angry when Mu Li violently kicked him out. He thought about it and went in again, and said, "Grandpa, I'm just asking, if you can't do it, you can't do it, just pretend I didn't mention it."

Taifu Mu's family: "..."

Your Highness, is your sincerity so small!

Mu Yuan's hand holding the cup trembled slightly. He endured the hard work with a smile, and simply put down the cup. He refused in a warm voice: "Heng'er, uncle doesn't want to enter the palace, and it's not suitable for you."

Ye Heng nodded sensibly, and he also guessed so. The queen father said, a man can afford it and put it down. Ye Heng cupped his hands without hesitation, and said, "Heng'er understands, thank you uncle for speaking out."

Ye An's sons have similar preferences. Ye Heng is not as stable as Ye Xi after all. Ye Xi just gave up after thinking about it for a while, and turned around and found true love. Ye Heng was young and impulsive, so he came to ask , In fact, he also knows that there is little hope. In Ye Heng's heart, Mu Yuan is more of a thought, an idol-like existence, and being rejected is equivalent to a successful conclusion.As for being sad, there is no second prince who is heartless, so he started eating and drinking after speaking.

The Mu family: "..."

Ye Heng earned a meal without spending a penny, and fulfilled a wish. He wandered back to the palace with the hidden guards, and was properly arranged by Ye An to think about his mistakes.

Grand Tutor Mu followed into the palace, and Ye An learned of the foolishness of the second prince, scolded Ye Heng again, and personally apologized to Tai Tutor and Mu Yuan on Ye Heng's behalf.Ye Heng also thoroughly understood that his grandfather, father emperor, and father empress had no intention of asking him to marry a companion, so Ye Heng was relieved.

Ye An couldn't help but muttered in his heart, did Heng Er fall in love at such a young age?

In fact, Ye An made a mistake, the two cubs' love affair has not started yet, they just ran away from home temporarily because they were frightened by the elder brother's marriage.

The second and third princes are twins, they have been together since childhood, and their relationship is deeper than other brothers. Ye Heng mistakenly thought that he was going to marry Mu Xuan, but he was marrying the Mu family. He would rather have a younger uncle, so he secretly told Ye Ke, In order to help him leave the palace, Ke came up with a bad idea to distract his attention. Unexpectedly, his younger siblings also joined forces, almost making Ye An's old father jump.

The experience of sneaking out of the palace this time was quickly forgotten by Ye Heng.But Ye Ke encountered an accident on the way back to the palace, which directly led Ye Ke to embark on a completely different life path from Ye Heng.

At the third prince's place, Ye Ke was sitting in a teahouse drinking tea and eating snacks. Guessing that Ye Heng's side should be almost there, he took the initiative to summon his own guard and said, "I'm tired, take me back to the palace."

The third prince has a gentle temperament and has always been very good at serving him. The dark guards have already prepared to return to the palace in advance, and brought a soft sedan chair in green clothes and a fine horse.Ye Ke didn't like to sit in a sedan chair. Their brothers, including the younger sister, were all very good at riding. Ye Ke waved his hand and rejected the sedan chair, and got on the horse by himself.

Because it was in the imperial city, the Third Highness was also afraid that the horse would disturb the people, so he just sat on the horse and let the horse walk slowly. It's the children of rich families traveling.

His trip out of the palace was smooth, but when he was two blocks away from the gate of the palace, a dirty man jumped out of the passers-by, rolled in front of Ye Ke's horse, and blocked his way.

The hidden guards were alert, and immediately stepped forward and crossed the man, because Ye Ke's horse was a good one, and he was not frightened.Ye An's old father had been murdered several times himself, and he had to conduct safety education for his children every now and then. The person may be a commoner nearby, and it is enough to order the dark guard to send the person away.

Unexpectedly, the man refused to leave, but knelt down and said in a loud voice: "My lord, I am the son of Mrs. Li, the emperor's wet nurse. I have ended up in such a situation because of an accident in my family. If there is a turning point, I will definitely thank you."

Ye Ke was taken aback. This man looked dirty, with long hair covering his face, and his right arm was empty, but he spoke in a gentle manner, as if he had studied for a few days, and he claimed to be a contemporary Son of the emperor's wet nurse...

Ye Ke motioned for the hidden guard to take a look. The man was afraid that Ye Ke would not believe him, so he took out a half-broken crutch from his sleeve and handed it to the dark guard.

"It was given by the Queen Mother on my mother's birthday, and it can be used as a token."

The dark guard held the crutch in his hand and turned it upside down. It should be made of high-quality huanghuali wood, which cannot be afforded by ordinary people. He looked at the top of the crutch. It should be that the place where the jewels were inlaid was empty. The words "made by imperial order" are engraved on the position, and there is a seal of the Queen Mother, it is absolutely impossible to fake it, and no one dares to fake it.

The dark guard nodded slightly to Ye Ke.

Ye Ke thought that suspicious people should not get close to him. Now that he has been confirmed to be a member of the royal family, he knelt down and begged him in public. If he turned around and left, wouldn't it make people criticize the royal family for being indifferent to the wet nurse? ?

Not long after, he heard the people watching the excitement whispering, since the man is a member of the emperor's wet nurse's family, he should just report any difficulties to the emperor, why is he begging on the street, could it be that the emperor is ungrateful and refuses to help?

Ye Ke wanted to argue for his father, saying: "I heard that the emperor will allocate money to the wet nurse every month, how can you do that?"

The man said in shame: "It's a long story, it's really an ugly family, my brother became obsessed with gambling, ruined most of his parents' life savings, and owed a large debt, even my right hand was lost because of it, Your Majesty It is true that you give my family money every month, but it is not enough for my brother to pay off the debt..."

The people laughed: "It seems that I owe too much money, and the emperor doesn't want to wipe the ass of the gamblers anymore."

Indulging in gambling is not a good thing.Ye Ke also didn't want to help someone repay their gambling debts for no reason, since the other party was bumped into by him, he just gave some for his father.

Ye An turned to the secret guard and said, "Give him some money and tell him to leave."

The dark guard took out a few banknotes and handed them to the man.The man accepted it gratefully, but knelt on the ground but refused to get up: "My lord is merciful, can you allow me to kowtow to you a few times?"

Ye Ke agreed.

After kowtowing, the man said again: "Please allow me to come closer and take a look at the young master's appearance. Just one glance is enough. I, my eyesight is not very good. I want to go back and draw the young master's appearance, and burn incense day and night to pray for blessings... ..."

This man was physically disabled, and his head was covered with blood. It was pitiful. A group of people around looked at him, feeling pity, and they all spoke up to intercede for this man. After all, Ye Ke had never come into contact with any villains. I still remember the simple people who lived together when I was still in Yunzhou when I was two or three years old. I thought in my heart that if I had to let this person get closer, there should be no danger.

Ye Ke allowed this man to take two steps closer, but he might not have taken too close. The man nodded repeatedly, and said some words of gratitude. When he got up, his foot suddenly slipped and he couldn't stand still, and he slammed into Ye Ke.

Because they were relatively close, the hidden guard hurriedly pulled the man's back, but the man's strength was too great to hold him back.Ye Ke dodged instinctively, thinking that his feet were slippery, but a bony hand stretched out from the man's empty sleeve, holding half a pair of sharp scissors, and was about to stab Ye Ke.

"I know who you are. They said I slandered you and kicked me out of the palace. I didn't slander you, no! I just wish there was no you in this world!"

The man laughed maniacally while talking, revealing his eyes hidden under his long hair, they were a pair of eyes full of hostility, staring at Ye Ke viciously, wishing to swallow him alive.

Although Ye Ke had learned kung fu, he was only 13 years old after all, and had never experienced any scary scenes. He didn't realize that he knew martial arts for a while, and just stared blankly at the man, unable to move.

Several nearby hidden guards drew out their swords one after another and hit the man hard, but the man's hatred was so strong that he tried his last breath to hurt the young man in front of him. For a while, everyone thought that the young man was bound to die.

In the nick of time, a feathered arrow flew over not far behind Ye Ke, and it shot into the man's left eye accurately.

The man yelled, and finally dropped the scissors and fell to the ground, shaking from the severe pain all over his body.

Before dying, with his only remaining eye, he saw an unexpected acquaintance.

"You, you...how could it be you?"

The man let out a low growl, and died angrily, full of unwillingness and unfinished words.
