Chongxi [rebirth]

For these years, Chang Yu'an traveled around with a longer hook to experience the customs and customs of various places in order to write the chronicles of mountains and rivers.

When he received the news that Ye Yunting was selected by Si Tiantai to give Yong'an Wang Chongxi, he was on the border of South Vietnam. As soon as he got the news, he took the Yuelong hook and rushed back to Shangjing day and night.It's just a step late.

When they arrived, not only Ye Yunting had already entered Yong'an Palace and became a princess.Even the situation was completely reversed, and the seriously ill King Yong'an couldn't die for a while.

Therefore, Yue Changgou could only try to send a letter to the palace first, to see if he could contact Ye Yunting.If it doesn't work, he can only find a way to sneak into the palace and find out about Ye Yunting's recent situation.

"The situation is actually better than my husband and I imagined." Yue Changgou said: "Before my husband and I returned to the capital, I thought that if your life in the palace was too bad, I would steal you out of the palace at night. , and take you away from Shangjing to be free and unrestrained.”

He poured wine for Ye Yunting, and raised his chin in the direction of Chang Yu'an: "Look at Mr., I got angry along the way, and the number of people has dropped a lot."

Chang Yu'an was dressed in a gray robe, with a thin body and a handsome face, with two long beards hanging from his ears, which seemed to be a fairy-like man who knew the world.It's just that now his face is a little haggard and tired, and he looks a little more vulgar.He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the wine glass, glanced at Yue Chang, who was smiling happily, and scolded: "You can talk nonsense."

After speaking, he looked at Ye Yunting with concern: "How are you these days?"

"I miss you sir." Ye Yunting got up and bowed his hands, then sat down again, and talked with them about what happened these days.

After Yue Changgou heard it, he was surprised and said: "That said, King Yong'an is pretty good." He looked Ye Yunting up and down, and then looked at Ji Lian who was patronizing the food and hadn't spoken, raised his eyebrows and laughed: "If I used to I also suspect that the younger brother is prevaricating me with empty words, but looking at Ji Lian, I know that you are not lying this time."

After he finished speaking, he crossed the table with his long arms, pinched Ji Lian's round cheeks that became more and more fleshy and shook them: "Look, it seems that I have gained a lot of weight. As expected of a brother, we share difficulties and share fatness .”

Ji Lian:? ? ?

His mouth was stuffed, and his face was suddenly pinched, so he could only swallow with difficulty, and said unhappily, "You...are fat!"

Yue Changgou let go of his hand with a smile, and moved a plate of oily pork knuckle in front of him to him: "Yes, yes, yes, I am fat, so I have to eat less, this is for you."

Ji Lian immediately calmed down, gave him a blank look, and happily buried himself in the pig's hand.

Yue Changgou continued to discuss business with Ye Yunting: "But what are your plans for the future?"

How to plan?

Ye Yunting was stunned for a moment before hesitatingly said: "I, I haven't made up my mind yet..."

He really didn't think about it. Before cooperating with Li Fengqi, he thought that after Li Fengqi ascended the throne, he would fake his death and leave Shangjing.

But now, he rarely thinks about this ideal again.It seems that most of the time they are thinking about how to help Li Fengqi avoid the tragedy of the previous life.

"Think about it now." Yue Changgou said dissatisfied: "You can't stay in Yong'an Palace forever. Even King Yong'an treats you pretty well, but you are a man, but what's the matter with you staying in the Palace as a princess ?”

Chang Yu'an also nodded in agreement: "If you have nowhere to go, you can go to South Vietnam with me first."

"Nanyue is at the southernmost point, and it is [-] miles away from Shangjing." Yue Changgou also felt that it was very feasible, and said enthusiastically: "If you go to Nanyue with us, you will have nothing to do with the Duke of Qi, King Yong'an. related."

He counted the benefits of South Vietnam with his fingers, customs, food and wine... Ji Lian's eyes widened when he heard it.

Ye Yunting's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his eyes became more hesitant: "I... I'll think about it again."

"You don't want to leave Beizhao?" Chang Yu'an looked at him, as if he had seen through his hesitation: "You still don't want to leave Shangjing? There is still something worth thinking about in Shangjing?"

Ye Yunting pursed his lips, but Li Fengqi's smiling eyes flashed across his mind.

Now that the current situation is difficult, Li Fengqi is only accompanied by an old concubine, if he leaves, Li Fengqi can only face those calculations alone... Besides, he hasn't found a chance to remind him about Yang Buwei's relationship with the Shen family.

The more he thought about it, the more hesitant Ye Yunting looked. He bit his cheek and said apologetically, "Yes, please allow me to think about it, sir."

Chang Yu'an didn't make the decision for him. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "I just mentioned, you should think about it carefully. If you don't want to leave, I won't force you."

Now that the time is right, when he returned to Beijing on this trip, he originally wanted to leave Beizhao with Ye Yunting.

But this is his idea, if Ye Yunting is unwilling, he will not force him.

This is the end of the conversation, and the three masters and apprentices stopped talking about this matter, and only drank and chatted about some anecdotes they saw along the way.When Ye Yunting came back to his senses and it was time to return to the palace, the sky had already darkened.

He looked at the dimness and ignorance outside the window, put down his glass, and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back today."

With his chin propped on Yue Chang's hook, he gently shook his wine glass: "Why don't you rest here tonight, a room is prepared for you here. Just ask the coachman to send a letter back to the palace."

Ye Yunting subconsciously refused, and after speaking, he felt that the answer was too fast, so he added: "...Let's go back today. There will be a banquet at the palace on the fifteenth day, and there are still many things to be busy."

"Banquet?" Yue Changgou sat up straight, regained his energy, and looked at him with squinted eyes: "I heard people say that Yong'an Wang Guang invited guests to hold a Hongmen banquet. Does it have anything to do with you?"

"..." Ye Yunting was so asked that he didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that the banquet was actually a re-organized wedding banquet.

He was silent, then nodded and said: "After all, my current identity is Princess Yong'an, and there are some things that require me to come forward."

The longer the hook said "Oh" in an unclear way, he said again: "Then you go back first, I won't send it off,"

Ye Yunting didn't know why, suddenly felt a little guilty, got up quickly and was about to say goodbye and leave.As soon as he walked to the door, he heard the longer hook behind him calling him: "Wait."

He staggered slightly and turned around: "Brother, do you have anything else to say?"

Yue Changgou stared at him, and said with a smile: "Since you organize the banquet, can my husband and I go too?"

"It's possible to go." Ye Yunting was slightly surprised: "But the people who went that day were all the officials of the court. You and your husband don't like such occasions the least..."

"I like it now." Yue Changgou waved his hand to cut off his words: "Junior Brother, remember to send two invitations."

Ye Yunting had no choice but to agree.

After he left, Yue Changgou put away his playful look, frowned and said, "What do you think, sir?"

When they met this time, Ye Yunting was quite different from before.

In the past, when the three of them exchanged letters, Ye Yunting often yearned for the vast world outside, and said that if he had the opportunity, he must go and see for himself.But now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he hesitated again.

Yue Changgou intuited that the change had something to do with the Yong'an King.

"No matter how we look at it, we can't change his mind." Chang Yu comforted his sleeves and said softly, "Let's wait for him to make his own decision."

He said again: "Go and write a letter to that person to report his safety."

"Then wait until the fifteenth day." Yue Changgou said, "I'm going to meet King Yong'an to see what kind of character he is."

He recalled the brief meeting at the door, and sighed inwardly.He looks like a dog, so don't be fooled by that face.

***

But on the other side of the palace, since Ye Yunting went out, Li Fengqi was a little restless.

Ever since he found out that Ye Yunting already understood his intentions, but avoided talking about it and just avoided it, he was a little worried about gains and losses.If you do it bluntly, you are afraid that if he really refuses it, there will be no room for turning around; but if you make it cryptic, you are afraid that you will not make it clear, and he will continue to avoid it like this.

He has always been a decisive person, and has never been so indecisive as he is now.

He was depressed, but no one told him, so he could only hold his breath and wait in the study, hoping that the person who had gone out would come back.

This waited from dawn to dusk.

As the sky became darker, Li Fengqi's face became gloomy.

He already knew the name of the restaurant, and sent someone to find out the location. He almost couldn't help rushing over to arrest him, but after thinking about it, he finally held back.

Just ask Wu Geng to guard the gate, and Ye Yunting will report as soon as he comes back.

He himself sat in front of the case, holding a wolf hair, splashing ink on the rice paper to vent his emotions.

When it was completely dark, the fifth watch finally came to report: "The princess is back, the carriage has just arrived at the gate."

Li Fengqi paused, ink dripped from the tip of the pen, ruining a good handwriting.

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then ordered the fifth watch: "You find an opportunity to tell the princess... that I have a residual poison."

"...?" Wu Geng quietly raised his eyes to look at him, thinking that if the concubine does not return to the mansion, your poison will not flare up, which is a bit too deliberate.

But the prince was obviously in a bad mood today, he decided to keep his thoughts in his stomach and save his life.

So when Ye Yunting returned to the main courtyard, he saw that there were only servants in the main courtyard, and Li Fengqi was nowhere to be seen.

He found a servant to ask, and the servant only said that he saw the prince entering the study, but no one came out, and the dinner was useless.

Ye Yunting frowned, thought for a while, and went to the study to find it.

Brother Yue said today that he was coming to a banquet, so he had to inform Li Fengqi in advance.

When I arrived at the door of the study, I saw that the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the candles inside were dimly lit. It didn't look like there was anyone there.

His expression became more and more puzzled, and he tried to push the door, but Wu Geng jumped out from the side and stopped him: "No, Wangfei."

Ye Yunting was so frightened that he took a deep breath and looked at Wu Geng: "The prince is inside, what's the matter?"

Wu Geng faltered for a long while before lowering his voice and said: "My lord has a cold poison attack, and I have locked myself in the study for half a day..." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Ye Yunting's expression, thinking that my lord, I have tried my best, if The concubine saw a flaw, but I can't be blamed.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Yunting heard it, he didn't ask carefully at all, but pushed the door anxiously: "The cold poison is attacking, why don't you invite a doctor, and just let him lock yourself in the study?"

"?"

Wu Geng was stunned, and then stammered after a while: "...the king, the prince won't let me go."

Ye Yunting didn't speak any more, he tried to push the door, but found that the study door was unlocked, so he simply pushed the door and entered.

Is this also possible? ? ?

Wu Geng looked at the closed door and fell into contemplation, thinking that the prince is really powerful.
