Pour the glass

Ye Lingxi had already quietly returned to the quiet garden where the maids of the palace rested, and changed all the dirty clothes on her body. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and sat by the bronze mirror to comb her black hair.

The green light was faint, the green silk was like a waterfall, Ye Lingxi's watery eyes suddenly focused, as if she had thought of something, she stood up from the bronze mirror, walked to the place where the dirty clothes were placed, and carefully found Ziyuan The blood-stained sweat towel that he was wearing, a faint smile seemed to emanate from the corner of his mouth.

"Princess Chushan, the country is overwhelmed by the city, she is really...beautiful..."

In her mind, the foolish smile of today's silly boy suddenly appeared. Ye Lingxi felt her cheeks suddenly burning warmly. She subconsciously looked into the bronze mirror and couldn't help rubbing the blood-stained sweat towel tightly on her face. Palm, said angrily: "If I let Bengong find out what your name is, let's see how I punish you!"

"Princess, princess, are you back?" The old servant's anxious call suddenly sounded outside the house.

Ye Lingxi quickly put the sweat towel in her arms, walked to the door, and opened the door. Before she could speak, she saw that the old palace servant had knelt down in a panic.

"The old slave deserves to die! The old slave deserves to die!"

"Get up quickly." Ye Lingxi hurriedly helped the old palace servant up, "Come in and talk first." After speaking, she took a few steps back and signaled the old palace servant to close the door.

The old palace servant nodded, turned around and closed the door, looked up and down at Ye Lingxi with concern, "Where is your highness injured?"

Ye Lingxi shook her head with a smile, "I have to save my life to deal with those country beetles, how could it be so easy to get hurt?" As she spoke, the smile on Ye Lingxi's face suddenly faded, "By the way, Cao Boxiao Did you enter the mourning hall where Aunt Huang's spirit tablet is located?"

"Back to the princess, Cao Shizi forced his way into the Buddhist hall later, but he didn't see the princess, so he asked the old slave where the princess had gone? The old slave could only say that the princess had already paid homage to the eldest princess, and hurried back to the palace in the dark."

"He believed what you said?"

"How can you believe it? Cao Shizi directly called the guards, and led the guards to search for several hours in the National Temple. It was not until dawn that he believed what the old slave said. He thought that the princess would go to the National Temple to sacrifice with all the princesses. Unexpectedly, I still didn’t see the princess appearing. In the end, I brought the guards to rush here to find the princess.”

Ye Lingxi was startled, "Has he been here before?"

There is no trace of her Chu Mountain in the sacrificial ceremony of the National Temple, and she can eat well water by mistake, causing diarrhea and discomfort. If Cao Boxiao came here today, and there is no trace of her Chu Mountain, then the Buddhist hall in the forbidden area is on fire today, and Emperor Yunhui will strictly investigate After all, she must be the most suspected one.

The old palace slave shook his head and said: "Today, Mr. Cao almost broke in, and the old slave couldn't stop him. Fortunately, the empress heard the movement and came to stop Mr. Cao, otherwise the old slave must have lost his mind today. " After finishing speaking, the old palace slave seemed to have thought of something, "Princess, the national temple is inexplicably on fire today, could it be..."

"Hush..." Ye Lingxi hurriedly signaled the old palace servant not to continue, "The fire has nothing to do with this palace, this matter can be avoided as far as possible, and in the future, never mention that this palace accidentally fell into the Buddhist hall mechanism last night Things."

"No." The old palace slave nodded heavily.

Ye Lingxi let out a long sigh of relief, "Concubine Shen's family is the only one in the harem, and the queen mother has been out of the world for many years. It is really hard for the queen mother to stop Cao Shizi today."

"The princess is the body of a thousand gold, if the residence is even trespassed by Cao Shizi, then the princess's reputation will be tarnished. The queen empress loves the princess so much that she would rather offend Cao Shizi and protect the princess's reputation. "The old palace servant sighed, knowing in his heart that the empress has no influence in the court. She usually hides from the harem and lives in seclusion. She just wants to save her name and life. Now she dares to stand up and stop Cao Shizi from tarnishing the name of her daughter. , just because she is a mother, when her beloved daughter is bullied, how can she care about herself?

Ye Lingxi felt sore in her heart, how could she not know what the old palace slave thought of?But after thinking about it, Ye Lingxi thought of another question, and asked quickly: "Does the empress know that I'm not in the room?"

The old palace slave shook his head and said: "Today, there are many people with poisoning and diarrhea in the national temple. The old slave saw the empress's face pale, and the empress must have drank the well water and needed to rest, so the empress returned after she drank Cao Shizi. Rest in the Buddhist hall."

Ye Lingxi could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and murmured: "You go and get some well water for me first, and I will drink the well water before going to visit my mother." Today, everyone in the Guosi drank water and had diarrhea. No exception.

"promise."

Ye Lingxi glanced at the old palace slave, and then gave another order, "There must be a dossier to record the incident in Lin'an recently. You sneak into the imperial guard camp to investigate and see who is involved in this matter, and put their names on it." Report it to the palace."

The old palace slave nodded and said, "May I ask the princess when she wants this result?"

Ye Lingxi said sternly: "The sooner the better, but you have to be careful in what you do. Now the imperial guard camp is probably in the hands of those moths in the country. Don't leave any clues, let them catch the ground and make your father laugh." Difficult to do."

The old palace servant said solemnly: "This old servant understands, the princess can rest assured, the old servant will go to work first."

Ye Lingxi nodded to signal the old servant to back down. She needs to think about it quietly. If Emperor Yunhui asks about today's affairs, how can she prevaricate so that Emperor Yunhui will not suspect her.

Thinking of her father whom she saw today, Ye Lingxi felt an inexplicable chill in her heart. The emperor's family was ruthless, and even her aunt would not let her go. The Lord of the Clouds, her father was so cold-blooded ruthless.

"See the emperor!"

Not long after the old palace servant left, he suddenly heard the patrolling guard say in a solemn voice, Ye Lingxi only felt his heart tighten, could it be that the father suspected her so quickly?

"You all step back." Emperor Yun Hui's voice was exhausted, he waved his sleeves to signal the guards to step back first, and brought Princess Jingrou to the door.

"Sister Sanhuang, Sister Sanhuang, my father is here to see you!" Princess Jing Rou hastily knocked on the door.

Ye Lingxi had no choice but to walk to the door pretending to be weak, opened the door with difficulty, and hurriedly bowed to Emperor Yunhui, "I pay my respects to my father."

Seeing that Ye Lingxi was fine, Emperor Yunhui put down a big rock in his heart, and said, "You are not feeling well, go back and lie down and rest first, I will be happy when I see you are safe." After speaking, Emperor Yunhui signaled Princess Jingrou to bring her back to you. Ye Lingxi helped her back to the bed to rest.

Seeing that Princess Jingrou was in a mess, Ye Lingxi couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, sister?"

Princess Jing Rou curled her lips and said, "It's all caused by Brother Cao, it doesn't matter if I don't say anything, I believe that Father will definitely make the decision for me!"

"Cao Shizi?" Ye Lingxi was slightly startled.

Emperor Yunhui coughed twice, and asked, "Did he come to the National Temple last night?"

Ye Lingxi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Princess Jingrou said anxiously: "Brother Cao is going too far this time, no matter how close you are to Third Sister, you shouldn't come to the National Temple to be alone with Third Sister...alone..." Princess Jingrou felt that this The words were a bit embarrassing, so I had to stop abruptly in the middle of speaking.

Ye Lingxi pretended to be aggrieved and knelt down and said, "Father, my son and Cao Shizi have always been innocent. Last night, he sneaked into the National Temple to... want to bully my son. I am afraid that my Royal Family of Dayun will be ashamed. So after paying homage to Aunt Huang, I sneaked back to the Imperial City from behind the National Temple until early this morning..."

Emperor Yunhui helped Ye Lingxi up, shook his head and said, "Chu Shan, you don't need to explain, I believe you. All these years, it's me...it's me..." Emperor Yunhui's words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't realize it was already His eyes were red, "It's because I pampered King An Le too much, that's why Mr. Cao dared to bully you like this. It's my fault."

Ye Lingxi heard the remorse in Emperor Yunhui's words, "Since father knows what the problem is, why don't you fix it?"

Emperor Yunhui shook his head, shook his head again, and smiled desolately, "I'm afraid I'm getting old." As he spoke, he held Princess Jingrou's hand with his left hand, and Ye Lingxi's hand with his right hand, "I'm just old now." All I can do is protect you."

"Father..." Princess Jingrou and Ye Lingxi both felt warm in their hearts, and they called out softly.

Ye Lingxi continued: "Father, as long as you are willing, my son is willing to fight with Father and the moths of these countries!"

Emperor Yunhui shook his head again and said, "It's not easy..."

"Father..." Ye Lingxi was still about to say something, but suddenly remembered that Princess Jingrou was still nearby, so she hurriedly stopped, "Father, my son is very unwell today, and I really can't stay with Father for a long time, please ask Father The emperor forgives the crime."

Emperor Yunhui nodded and said: "Chu Shan, take a good rest. I came here just to see how you are. Seeing that you are well, my father will feel more at ease." After Emperor Yunhui finished speaking, he turned to Princess Jingrou Said, "Since your third sister is fine, you can follow me to see your mother and concubine. I am afraid that only your mother and concubine can help you vent your anger about your elder brother Cao bullying you."

Princess Jingrou nodded, exchanged greetings with Ye Lingxi, then followed Emperor Yunhui out of the room and gradually walked away.

Ye Lingxi watched Emperor Yunhui go away, looking at his thin body, suddenly felt that her father seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

"Father, what exactly is the reason why you used Huanggu to feed Huang Gu?" Ye Lingxi felt her vision blurred suddenly, and raised her hand to rub her slightly sore nose, "Father, Huanggu told me before." , as the Dayun royal family, even if you risk your life, you must keep this country. Do you know that as long as you are willing to nod, even if I die, I will defend the country for you."

As soon as Emperor Yunhui walked out of Jingyuan with Princess Jingrou, he saw Liu Ping, the captain of the Imperial Guard Battalion hurriedly walking towards this side.

Liu Ping came forward, bowed to Emperor Yunhui, and glanced at Princess Jingrou hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something to Emperor Yunhui alone, but he didn't want Princess Jingrou to hear.

Emperor Yunhui saw his intention and signaled Princess Jingrou to go to Concubine Shen first.

Princess Jingrou made a face at Liu Ping in disbelief, "What's the big deal, just don't listen if you don't listen." After speaking, she left here.

"Respectfully send off the princess." Liu Ping sent Princess Jingrou away in fear, looked around vigilantly, and then said, "I don't know whether I should tell the emperor about something I saw today, but after thinking about it, I still feel... ..."

"Speak directly, I don't want to listen to your gossip." Emperor Yunhui felt exhausted today, so he immediately interrupted Liu Ping.

Liu Ping quickly knelt down and said: "Go back to the emperor, I saw Princess Chushan near the forbidden area of ​​the National Temple today."

"Chu Mountain?" Emperor Yunhui was taken aback, "Can you see clearly that it is Chu Mountain?"

"This minister really sees it clearly." Liu Ping said firmly, "This minister thinks this matter is very serious, so I came here to report to the emperor."

Emperor Yunhui waved his hand wearily, "You go down, I will deal with this matter, remember, don't tell this matter."

"No!" Liu Ping clasped his fists triumphantly and retreated.

The reason why he told Emperor Yunhui these things today was because he wanted to sell his favor to Jiu Qiansui. After all, Cao Shizi and Princess Chushan did not appear at the sacrificial ceremony today. Cao Shizi, but it will always make Jiuqian feel upset.Therefore, the best solution is to let Emperor Yunhui not investigate the matter strictly.

Emperor Yunhui watched Liu Ping walk away, a cold look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he murmured: "King An Le, you want to push everything to Chu Shan so quickly because you want to force me not to pursue this matter." Is it okay to calm things down?"

It seems that now even the imperial guard camp has become the palm of King An Le, Ye Chengtian is really a loner... Emperor Yunhui clenched his fists unwillingly, trembling in the night.

"Father, as long as you are willing, my son is willing to fight with Father and the moths of these countries!"

This voice sounded again from the bottom of Emperor Yunhui's heart, and he couldn't help smiling sadly, "Chu Shan, Chu Shan, you and I only have two lives, how can we fight these silverfish?"
