Chongxi [rebirth]

After breakfast, Ye Yunting discussed with Ji Lian, and searched through the palace carefully, maybe he could find some missing valuables, and then take them out to exchange for some money, not only to buy rice, but also to take care of it Maid guard, exchange some news.

The master and the servant split up, one looking for the front yard and the other looking for the back yard.

Ye Yunting went to the backyard, he searched room by room, only to find that the huge palace was really empty and nothing was there.

It's not that it was searched cleanly, but looking at the furnishings, I'm afraid there weren't many items in the first place.

Like in Duke Qi's mansion, not to mention the courtyard where the serious master lives, but the courtyard where several aunts live is very exquisite.There are countless carved beams and painted buildings, rare and rare grasses.It's not extravagant, but it's not unusual either.

He originally thought that with King Yong'an's powerful status, this palace should at least be more extravagant than Duke Qi's mansion.

Unexpectedly, he thought too much.

This huge backyard, except for some people in the main courtyard, is actually empty and uninhabited.

He had heard that the old prince and the old princess were very affectionate and never took a concubine in their whole life.Even though it was difficult for the old concubine to have an heir, and she had only one son in the end, the old prince did not admit any newcomers into the mansion.

It's just that the backyard was vacant when the old prince was there. He didn't expect that the backyard had been empty and unoccupied all these years after Li Fengqi took over the palace.

He sighed twice, and searched for the last two rooms.

The result is still nothing.

An empty courtyard without people, of course, there will be no valuables.

Ye Yunting strolled to the front yard empty-handed to meet Ji Lian, ready to see if he got anything.Fortunately, Ji Lian still has something to gain. He came over with a pile of paper, ink, pens and inkstones like a baby. After seeing Ye Yunting, he took out another inkstone from his bosom, and said, "Master, take a look at this quickly. I'll take a look at it." The young master also has such an inkstone, it should be worth some silver, right?"

This inkstone is the size of a palm, with rounded corners, carved with a few swaying, unopened lotus flowers and lotus leaves, the part where the ink is rubbed in the middle is like a pool of water, with a faint golden gleam, and the lotus flowers are swaying. On the bed, it happened to be a sentence "Out of the mud but not stained, wash the lotus without demon".

"This is the lotus inkstone." Ye Yunting recognized the origin of the inkstone at a glance.

He is bored in the mansion on weekdays, so he enjoys reading and practicing calligraphy, and has a lot of research on paper, ink, pen and inkstone.This lotus inkstone was carved by the most sought-after master in Shangjing. There are only two sides in total, one of which was kept in the Qi State Duke's mansion, and was taken out by Ye Zhili and given to Ye Wang when Ye Wang went to the Imperial Academy.

The other party didn't know where he was going, and he didn't expect to be in the palace.

His fingers gently caressed the inkstone, and it felt smooth under his fingertips. He rubbed it a few times fascinatedly, with a look of reluctance: "Such a good inkstone..."

Seeing this, Ji Lian immediately answered, "Such a good inkstone must be very valuable!"

"..." Ye Yunting choked up suddenly, and said silently: "Forget it, no matter how good the inkstone is, it has to be used for life." After speaking, he put the inkstone back into Ji Lian's arms, and walked ahead, so as not to see the inkstone again. Reluctant: "Let's try to see if we can leave the house first."

He turned his head and looked around, always feeling that their two days had gone too smoothly.

Given the current situation in the palace, would the emperor really let them come and go as they please?

Ye Yunting's doubts were quickly answered.

The two walked to the side door of the palace, and just when they opened the door, two people blocked the door, looking at them coldly: "You are not allowed to enter or leave this place, Wangfei, please come back."

Both Ye Yunting and Ji Lian were taken aback by the sudden appearance. Ye Yunting quickly glanced at the badges of the two, and pulled Ji Lian back without saying a word.

After walking away, Ji Lian whispered: "I didn't find anyone guarding the side door yesterday."

He even opened the door to look at it. The alley outside was very quiet, except for two beggars, there was no one else.

"These two guards are the Divine Strategy Army." Ye Yunting recalled the badges hanging on their waists, and recalled the two beggars in the corner when he glanced at them, and asked, "Then did you see those two beggars yesterday?"

Ji Lian nodded: "yes, they were there yesterday."

Ye Yunting thought about it, "Those two beggars don't look right."

Although he was dressed in a sloppy appearance, his figure was very burly and strong. Even if the other party had tried his best to cover up his body, the bulging tendons still couldn't be hidden. Moreover, Ye Yunting had sharp eyes and noticed the other party's appearance at a glance. On the hands on the knees, the crevices between the nails are clean, without any dirt.

Where is such a strong and clean beggar?

Ye Yunting guessed that this was probably caused by the Shence Army in disguise.It's just that he can't figure it out, the palace has been ruined like this, why is there any need to disguise and guard it openly and secretly?

After several thoughts, Ye Yunting had already dragged Ji Lian back to the main courtyard.

He carried a pile of pens, inks, papers and inkstones back to the back room and put them on the table, and carefully took out the Fangliantai inkstone from his arms and put it aside alone, before talking to Li Fengqi about the discovery of the side door.

Li Fengqi's ears were listening to him, but his eyes were fixed on Fang Yantai, his brows were slightly raised: "Go to the front yard today?"

Ye Yunting followed his gaze and saw the Fang Liantai inkstone. He blinked slowly, and suddenly realized belatedly that the owners of these things were lying in front of him.

His cheeks were slightly hot, and he tried to maintain his composure and said: "Well, I wanted to find something with Ji Lian to exchange for some money to buy rice. I didn't expect to be stopped at the side door."

Li Fengqi glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth hooked indiscernibly: "Do you like that inkstone?"

Ye Yunting heard the teasing in his words, couldn't help but blushed even more, and nodded embarrassingly, wishing he could find a hole in the ground and go down.He has a fair complexion, and the slightest blush is very obvious, and he can't hide it. Right now, even his neck is completely red, and he dare not raise his eyes to look at Li Fengqi.

It was also because he didn't treat Li Fengqi as an outsider too much, and made his own decision without even saying hello.Even if King Yong'an is down and out of power now, it would be too much for him to act like this.

Ye Yunting didn't know how to explain, his eyes seemed to be flooded with water, but he didn't dare to look directly at Li Fengqi.

"Since you like it, then keep it for yourself. Why sell it. There are only two pieces of this lotus inkstone in total. If you sell it, you may not be able to buy it if you have money in the future." Li Fengqi looked at him blushing and bewildered. He was in a good mood, and finally let him go mercifully: "As for money, there will always be money, and besides, it's not needed right now, so don't be in a hurry."

Ye Yunting finally dared to look at him when he heard the words, and just saw the unrestrained smile on his lips, he was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had fallen into a trap and was led away by him.

The crimson color on his face hadn't faded yet, his eyes were panicked but he had already narrowed his eyes, he cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Then Yunting will thank the lord first for letting go."

Li Fengqi shook his head with a smile, and nodded his chin towards the edge of the couch, motioning him to sit down and talk: "Come here, let me tell you a few important things."

Ye Yunting had only been teased by him before, upon hearing this, he immediately looked at him vigilantly, fearing that he would play tricks on him again.After looking suspiciously, seeing that he seemed to have something serious to say, he just sat down.

Li Fengqi waited for him to sit down before he opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Since you have entered the palace, you will be connected with me forever and ever since."

Ye Yunting looked at him and nodded slightly.

This is a fact he already knew.

"In that case, I will answer the question you asked me yesterday." Li Fengqi looked directly at him and said slowly, "I have the money, and I also have the staff. But they are all familiar faces. Once they show up in Shangjing, I'm afraid I will be killed secretly by Li Zong. So I still need someone to deliver the news for me."

Ye Yunting didn't expect him to have a sudden showdown, and his expression was slightly surprised: "The person the lord is talking about is... me?"

Yesterday he tested Li Fengqi and asked him if he knew of any valuables hidden in this mansion.On the surface, he was asking about the object, but in fact, he was testing whether he had a back hand.

But Li Fengqi told him no.

Ye Yunting knew it was because Li Fengqi didn't believe him.Although he wanted to get on the big ship of King Yong'an, he also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He thought about staying with him for a while, and after showing his sincerity, Li Fengqi would always believe him at that time.

But he didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Li Fengqi saw the surprise in his eyes, and he didn't hesitate to explain the reason to him: "I don't have many people I can use. You are very smart, and you are a very good partner."

Without Ye Yunting, he would naturally have a way out of the predicament.

But this would end up wasting a lot of time. After listening to Wu Geng's report yesterday, he guessed that Li Xing probably wanted to attack the Xuanjia army, so he asked Wu Geng to send the news as soon as possible, lest Zhu Wen and others get caught up in a hurry.But now that the current situation is difficult, it is still unknown when the fifth watch will send out the news.And since Li Zong has already moved his mind, it won't be too long before he does it.

If he wanted to break Li Xing's plan, he had to detoxify as soon as possible and show up in front of others, killing Li Xing by surprise.Li Zong's undisguised arrogance now is all because he is sure that if his veins are severed, he will undoubtedly die.Once he detoxifies, Li Zong knows that he will not die for a while, and he can't kill him on the surface. The plan will be completely disrupted. When he is in a hurry, he will naturally ignore the Xuanjia army in the northern border up.

His only dilemma right now is how to get the medicine.

For the past month, Li Zong didn't ask the medical officer to treat him. Every time the medical officer came, he just took the pulse to confirm his physical condition, ensured that he would die when he deserved to die, and ignored everything else.

However, Li Fengqi has been in the army all year round and has also studied medical skills.

Although the poison he had suffered could not be cured for a while, he thought of a way to fight poison with poison, half of which might be able to temporarily suppress the poison in the body.

It's just that it is not so easy to prepare the medicinal materials now.Li Zong was looking forward to his death, and it was absolutely impossible for him to have a chance to stand up.If Li Zong's people knew that he was dispensing medicine to detoxify, it might make Li Zong jump over the wall in a hurry.

And according to what Ye Yunting said about the side door, Cui Xi probably already noticed when he visited the palace at five o'clock yesterday, and now the palace must have already set up a net.

So the fifth watch must never come again.

He can only find the person who takes the medicine.This person must be trustworthy and not arouse suspicion.

Ye Yunting is the best candidate that can be found so far.

Ye Yunting's mood fluctuated, a pair of deep black eyes were like lit candles: "I will never let the prince down."

"I have sent someone to Rongyang to deliver a letter to the old concubine. She should rush back to Shangjing after receiving the letter. We can all take a breath by then. But—" Li Fengqi paused, looked at Ye Yunting and said: " ...If only the old concubine comes forward, it won't be a long-term solution." He said solemnly, "So, I must get better as soon as possible."

Ye Yunting was taken aback: "But your poison..."

"I have already thought of a way to suppress it, but now the only thing left is medicinal materials." Li Fengqi said.

Ye Yunting looked at him for a moment, and understood what he meant: "Your Highness, you want me to get the medicine?" He hesitated and said, "But I can't even get out of the palace gate."

"So, I need you to play a play together."

Li Fengqi stared at him intently, and slowly revealed his plan.

But Ye Yunting became more startled the more he heard it. Li Fengqi's plan was a gamble every step of the way.

He took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm down his violent heartbeat.

"If you don't dare, I won't force you, I will think of another way." Li Fengqi said.

"I'll go." Ye Yunting let out a long breath and looked directly at him: "After the matter is done, I hope the prince will not forget today."

Since he knew that he was in a dead end, if he wanted to break the game and survive, he would always have to pay some price.

Ye Yunting made a decision in his heart, his expression changed immediately, he lifted the table, and said angrily: "My lord, you are paralyzed in bed now, I respect you as the hero of Beizhao, and I did my best to take care of you just now, don't bully me too much! "

He entered the scene too quickly, and he used ten percent of his strength to lift the table, his cheeks and eyes were red with anger.

"This king doesn't need your pity!" Li Fengqi didn't give in, sneered, and gritted his teeth and spit out the word "scroll".

He seemed to be very angry, he tried his best to push the soft pillow on the bed to the ground, and shouted again: "Get out!"

There was too much movement inside, and Ji Lian outside was taken aback. He hurried in to check, but he met Ye Yunting who was walking out angrily. All out.

Ji Lian followed behind him, wanting to persuade him but didn't know how to persuade him: "What's the matter?" Didn't you feel well just now?How do you say that you turn your face when you turn your face?

And he had never seen the young master lose such a big temper.

Ye Yunting sneered, pulled him and said: "Let's go back to the Duke's mansion, if he wants to die, don't drag us."

After speaking, he dragged Ji Lian to the door angrily.

Ji Lian didn't know the situation, so he could only follow him with a worried face.

Instead, the two maidservants guarding the yard looked at me and I looked at you. After Ye Yunting and the two walked away, one of them quietly left the yard.

Here, Ye Yunting dragged Ji Lian to the gate, and he wanted to leave the palace and go back to the Duke's mansion without hesitation.

Naturally, the guards outside couldn't let him go out, but he seemed to have suffered a great humiliation. He ignored it and started making a fuss at the door, yelling: "Let me go back, King Yong'an let me go, you guys Why don't you let me go? He died when he died, so I don't want to be buried with him!"

He looked crazy and shouted at the top of his voice.

Seeing this, the two guards quickly pinned him down and dragged him back into the mansion, and then closed the gate tightly to isolate the movement inside.

Ye Yunting was still fussing recklessly: "Let go of me, I want to go back to the Duke's Mansion." He broke down and cried as if he couldn't bear it at last: "I am the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, and whoever wants to invite you to be the crown prince in the future, I If you don’t want to die, let me go back! Let me go back!”

Ji Lian next to him was already stunned. While hugging Ye Yunting, who couldn't stand upright and slid down, he couldn't help crying: "Young master, young master, calm down, we won't die..."

The two guards frowned and saw the master and servant hugging each other and weeping bitterly. One was crying insanely and the other was crying helplessly.

The news that Ye Yunting suddenly went crazy and made trouble in the palace naturally spread into the palace immediately.

Emperor Li Zong leaned against the chair covered with soft fox fur with his forehead propped up, shaking his wine glass with one hand: "You mean, Ye Yunting suddenly went crazy?"

The lieutenant of the Shence Army who came to report the letter bowed and said: "Yes. I was fine this morning. I went to the side door and wanted to leave the mansion, but was stopped. After returning to the main courtyard, I suddenly quarreled with King Yongan, and then Crazy and crazy to go back to the Duke's mansion."

Li Xing took a sip of the wine, and the half-kneeling boy beside him immediately filled his wine glass. He lifted the boy's chin and looked at it for a moment, then pushed him away, and asked lazily: "Cui Aiqing thinks this Are you really crazy, or are you pretending to be crazy?"

Cui Xi lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes: "I have heard about Mr. Ye, judging from his temperament and his reaction in the past two days, he doesn't seem like someone who will suddenly go crazy."

Li Zong shook his glass again, without nodding or shaking his head.Instead, he looked at the person sitting on the opposite side.

"What does the teacher think?"

Sitting across from him was a man in plain white. He looked only in his 30s. He had a fair face, sparse brows, thin lips, and a white dress and crown.When he heard Li Zing's words, he just opened his slightly closed eyes, and his long and narrow pupils revealed coldness: "It's just an outcast, whether it's true or not, it doesn't interfere with His Majesty's important affairs, he can't make waves."

"Teacher is right." Li Zong drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, raised his foot to kick away the young man who was leaning over, and said to Cui Xi, who was waiting on the side: "You haven't moved yet? You escaped a few fish that slipped through the net back then. It's time to get it back. Jumping outside all day annoys me."

"Last night, I found a person's whereabouts, but he found out and escaped." Cui Xi replied with a bow.

"Trash!" Li Zongwen's eyes turned cold, and he glanced at Cui Xi: "I asked you to be the general of this magical strategy, but I didn't want you to raise a bunch of trash to annoy me."

Hearing this, Cui Xi immediately knelt down, grabbed his head and said: "This minister is incompetent!"

Seeing his appearance, Li Zong curled his lips boredly, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, I also know that the people under King Yong'an are difficult to deal with, so please be alert to your people, don't let me down again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." Cui Xi got up now, but there was a flattering smile on his beautiful and delicate face: "I will never disappoint Your Majesty."

Li Zong gave a casual "hmm", beckoned to the young man who had just been kicked away, and went to the inner room.

There were only two people left in the pavilion.

Cui Xi put away the exaggerated smile on his face, and squinted at Han Chan: "Why didn't Master Tai Tu tell the truth to His Majesty just now?" Ye Yunting lived in peace for two days, suddenly going crazy must be something strange.He couldn't believe that the old fox didn't know anything about what happened in the palace for the past two days.

Han Chan got up slowly, stared at him with a calm expression: "I'm telling the truth."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cui Xi to respond, he turned and left.

A white dress swayed in the bleak autumn wind, inexplicably bringing out a bit of chill.

Cui Xining scoffed at his back, and left in the opposite direction with her hands in her hands.When he left, he glanced sideways at the direction the emperor was leaving, and the interest in his eyes grew stronger.

This game of chess is getting more and more interesting.

Ye Yunting went crazy in the palace for an hour, and finally passed out from exhaustion.

In a panic, Ji Lian carried him back into the house and put him on the Arhat's bed, so anxious that he didn't know what to do.He wandered around the room twice before finally remembering that he had to find a doctor, so he ran to the gate of the palace in a hurry, but was stopped by the guard again at the gate. He begged for a long time, asking the guard to help find a doctor Take a look, but the other party turned a deaf ear to him, pushed him back roughly, and then closed the door tightly.

Ji Lian had no choice but to turn back.Just arrived at the gate of the yard.I saw Ye Yunting staggering out of the room with a tired face.

He hurried up to support him, and said anxiously, "Master, where are you going?"

"I don't want to be here," Ye Yunting's voice was already hoarse, but he still said in a hoarse voice: "I want to go back to the Duke's Mansion."

Ji Lian's eyes were red, so he could only coax him first: "Okay, we will go back after you rest, and I will help you go back to rest first, okay?"

After hearing him say that he will go back after resting, Ye Yunting finally survived.His eyes were dull, and he kept saying "go back, go back to the mansion", and was half-dragged and half-carried back into the house by Ji Lian.

As soon as he entered the room, Ye Yunting squeezed Ji Lian's palm hard, and mouthed to him: "I'm fine."

Ji Lian was taken aback for a moment, and his red eyes widened.Ye Yunting pinched him again, and he came back to his senses, and then said: "Master, you should have a good sleep, we will go back to the Duke's Mansion when we wake up."

After finishing speaking, he asked with his lips: "What's going on?"

It was inconvenient for Ye Yunting to explain too much to him, so he said silently: "Pretend to be sick and find a doctor."

The two grew up together since they were young, and they have a perfect understanding.Although he didn't know what he was going to do by pretending to be sick to find a doctor, Ji Lian immediately understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and went out with a worried expression on his face.

The guard at the gate couldn't work, so he went to find the guard at the side gate.

He seemed to be in a hurry, so he took out all his money and gave it to the guards, begging the guards to find a doctor to show his young master, and if it didn't help, he could just send a letter to the Duke's mansion.

But the guards were unmoved, so he could only collect the money in disappointment, and returned to the main courtyard with a dejected and worried face.

In the room, Ye Yunting was lying on the bed, quickly recalling the plan, and after confirming that nothing went wrong, he was slightly relieved.

The first step has already begun.

There are many secret whistles in the palace. The news that he is mad and making troubles in the palace will definitely spread to the palace. With his status, no one cares whether he is crazy or not. As long as the person in the palace does not suspect him, this level will be passed.

Next, he will really pretend to be seriously ill, preferably dying of illness, then he will have the opportunity to ask Ji Lian to ask the doctor to get the medicine, then he can take the opportunity to contact Li Fengqi's people and give him what he needs The medicinal materials were brought back together.

As long as the medicinal materials Li Fengqi needs can be brought back, the plan is half successful.

The rest is up to God's will.
