Junru Ziqi

The rain has been a bit heavy these past few days, and it has been pouring heavily for a whole night.This is very rare in Kyoto, because the rain in Kyoto has always been delicate and sad.

The gust of wind mixed with torrential rain beat the windows in the leaf stage one after another.It was clearly late at night, but Leaf Stage didn't feel sleepy at all.

Lowering his voice, he coughed a few times, Ye Ziqi really didn't want to wake up the maids and servants who were keeping watch outside.Everyone is so tired, especially in this depressing autumn season.

The leaf stage trembled slightly in the quilt, which was an old problem.Although there is warm jade, it will be unbearably cold when the winter is approaching, especially in such rainy days.It was very cold in the leaf period, but she was stubborn and unwilling to tell others.Since the last accident, Ye Ziqi really didn't want to cause trouble for his brother and father.

Leaf Stage turned over and wrapped herself up tighter.Half of her small face was buried under the quilt, her peach blossom eyes were wide open.The heavy rain outside was beating against the window, making Ye Ziqi sleepless at all.

As if he had sensed something, Qi Ye silently carried his kung fu down from the beam and came to Ye Ziqi's bedside.

Qi Ye's hearing was good, and he could hear Ye Ziqi's tossing and turning. With concern in his eyes that even he couldn't detect, he asked softly to Ye Ziqi: "Master, what's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Ziqi turned her head to the side and passed through the window screen, shaking her head slightly. "I'm fine." Ye Ziqi's voice trembled imperceptibly.

"Then let me pour you some hot water." Qi Ye said worriedly.

"Okay." Ye Ziqi shrank and nodded.

After drinking hot water, the leaf stage feels a little better.Holding the warm tea cup with cold hands, I feel very comfortable.

Just when Qi Ye was about to resign, Ye Ziqi suddenly blurted out: "Qi Ye...can you come up?"

Maybe it was because the contrast between the warmth of the hands and the coldness of the body was too great, Ye Ziqi couldn't help blurting out such a sentence.

Qi Ye was just stunned for a moment, but he didn't have any pedantic thoughts.As long as it was Ye Ziqi's request, Qi Ye would not question it.Pulling aside the window screen, Qi Ye lay gently beside Ye Ziqi.

Compared with Qi Ye's fiery heat, the body temperature in the leaf stage is really abnormal.Ye Ziqi was taken aback by his childish and unreasonable trouble, but the temperature around him was too warm, so Ye Ziqi couldn't say anything to refuse for a while.

The leaf stage approached unconsciously, just like a small animal looking for warmth.Qi Ye didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he just let Ye Ziqi rely on him.

Leaf period is rarely so close to people, except when I was very young and hugged and slept with my brother, I never had such an experience at other times.As things increase with age, Ye Zimu has not been able to accompany Ye Ziqi like this for a long time.

After finding a comfortable position, the leaf period had the illusion of returning to my childhood.Such warmth, such safety, brother and family, as if I could always be so ignorant and happy under their protection.

However, the leaf stage can't do it, and the leaf stage is not reconciled.In fact, Qi Ye was right, Ye Ziqi was a little lion tamed by Ye Zimu.It looks docile like a cat, but its essence is full of tyranny and arrogance.It's just because of Ye Zimu that he hides his true nature.

Ye Ziqi unconsciously touched the warm jade hanging around his neck.This is a habit formed in the past few years. The leaf period always likes to touch it, especially when I am irritable.

This piece of jade is not only a life-saving jade, but also a kind of shackle and shame.

What should the palace do to overcome this difficulty?Ye Ziqi said silently.

Ye Ziqi squinted his eyes, feeling a little dazed in this warm embrace, as if he had returned to the spring three years ago.People who are also strangers are also so warm, so can I trust this person?

Unconsciously, Ye Ziqi just fell asleep like that.

It was windy and windy outside, but inside it was warm and quiet.Qi Yehuan hugged Ye Ziqi in his arms.The little boy's body is still very thin, and Qi Ye can hug him completely.Continuously send true energy to the leaf stage, so that the leaf stage will not be too cold and can sleep better.

Such an unprepared and quiet leaf stage is really rare, like a person in a painting, Qi Ye thought.Such a master...

Still too young.

————————————————————

When Ye Ziqi opened his eyes, the wind and rain outside had stopped long ago, and Qi Ye beside him had already disappeared.Rubbing his eyes, Ye Ziqi saw a little yellow bird flying in from the window.

It was a spirit bird that Wei Daoran left in the leaf stage before, and he has been raising it since then.The little spirit bird has become a little rich after being raised in the leaf stage, but its round shape is still quite cute.Ye Ziqi saw that it was very spiritual, so she used it to communicate with the outside world.

Ye Ziqi walked to the window with bare feet, touched the beautiful feathers of the little yellow bird, and removed the letter from its feet.

Sure enough, as expected in the leaf period, the outside has already been noisy.The emperor has slashed and dismissed many important officials of the Xie family, and even the shops under the name of the Xie family have been severely damaged.The Xie family has been secretly gathering soldiers and horses these days, because the emperor pushed them into a hurry, so they are ready to fight.

Ye Ziqi was not afraid of fighting against the emperor with the Xie family, if it was really feasible, then why did he swallow his anger.But let's not say that Xie Jiahe's palace has long been divided, so is the emperor really that easy to deal with?

Ye Ziqi paced back and forth with bare feet, always feeling like he had forgotten something.

Feeling the coldness on his feet, Ye Ziqi suddenly let out an ah, remembering something.Wei Daoran had mentioned to himself before that General Wei's illness might attract visits from the Xuesha family from the north, so the emperor would send a large number of generals there.

But how could Kyoto not have the emperor's own soldiers and horses.As Wei Daoran once mentioned to Ye Ziqi, the emperor seems to have...a group of his own army!

Then, the Xie family's rebellion plan is doomed to fail.

Ye Ziqi's whole body began to stiffen, it was really unimaginable, if the palace was involved in the dispute between the Xie family and the emperor, how would the emperor deal with the palace.

Ye Zimu promised to keep a distance from Xie's family before, but the friendship for a hundred years cannot be broken at will.Not to mention, there is still a lot of wind!

I'm afraid that part of the money for raising soldiers and horses was taken away, damn it.Ye Ziqi called Lin Zhuo loudly, and said to Lin Zhuo, "I'm going to Fengmanlou now, immediately."

Lin Zhuo hurriedly stopped Ye Ziqi and said, "Second Highness, you can't go out, it's very chaotic outside now."

"What? Is it about to start? Then I have to go out even more." Ye Ziqi frowned and said anxiously.

"Fengmanlou has the bank account and correspondence with Xie's family. I have to destroy it. Only I know where it is hidden." Ye Ziqi said firmly.

When Ye Ziqi sneaked out of the palace under the escort of Qi Ye, there were very few people on the street, and there were still groups of soldiers riding away in front of them, it was unknown whether they were enemies or friends.

Ye Ziqi was also flustered at the moment, after all, this was the first time he encountered such a thing.

Qi Ye was still calm, and took Ye Ziqi to try to avoid the soldiers and horses that appeared on the street from time to time.These people and horses are all heading in one direction, that is the imperial palace.

When Ye Ziqi finally arrived at Fengmanlou, the place was already full of people.Many people who were frightened by the soldiers and horses outside gathered here, and Fengmanlou suddenly became a refuge.As everyone knows, this is actually the most dangerous place.

Squeeze through the crowd blocking the door and be escorted to the secret passage of Fengmanlou.Ye Ziqi just wanted to call the person in charge, but was suddenly called out by the person next to him.

Ye Ziqi was startled and turned his head. It was a man in Tsing Yi.

Ye Ziqi still has a little impression of him, I just met him a few days ago and the man is very suitable for wearing Tsing Yi, his refined temperament left a deep impression on Ye Ziqi.But when he thought of the man's identity, Ye Ziqi frowned.

Xie Qingyun was also taken aback and asked: "You are not the one from the palace...how come you are here?"

Ye Ziqi didn't pretend to be anything at the moment, and sneered at him fiercely: "I still want to ask you, how did you get in here?"

"Father has assembled a large number of people, so I'm sending the palace. Father sent me to ask, I came to discuss with Feng Manlou." Xie Qingyun frowned and answered Ye Ziqi's inquiry.

"No need, this matter is not discussed, you can go." Ye Ziqi immediately interjected.

Seeing the doubts on Xie Qingyun's face, Ye Ziqi lifted his chin and said sarcastically, "I am the master behind Feng Manlou."

"This..." Xie Qingyun was speechless for a while, and didn't know what to say for a while.Unexpectedly, the real owner of the huge Fengmanlou is the sick beauty Ye Ziqi of the palace that no one has paid much attention to.

Ye Ziqi left in no hurry, and stopped in front of Xie Qingyun.Ye Ziqi's height is much lower than Xie Qingyun's, but his aura is so strong.

"I think you are also a sensible person, and I'm not afraid to tell you that the Xie family is going to be ruined this time. I'll be happy if you don't bring our palace into it. You can go." Ye Ziqi did not hide it for the first time. Feelings of dislike for the Xie family.

After all, he stepped up his pace and rushed to the study in the backyard of Fengmanlou.

Xie Qingyun stood there listening in fear, but he himself understood the danger of this operation.Although Xie Qingyun suggested it to Master Xie's family, it was not taken seriously every time.Just because of her identity, Xie Qingyun's talent was buried like this.

Xie Qingyun thought about it, and chose to follow Ye Ziqi.

Ye Ziqi pushed open a door, turned the decorative vase on the desk to the left twice and then to the right five times.At this time, a dark space appeared on the wall.It contained Feng Manlou's account book and Xie's correspondence.

Ye Ziqi lit the flint decisively, threw the ledger and letter paper on the ground and lit it up.

Ye Ziqi panted heavily, looking at the ledger, she felt relieved a lot.Xie Qingyun, who was standing outside, was shocked by Ye Ziqi's behavior. The decisiveness of Ye Ziqi was not at all what he should be at this age.

At this time, a servant hurriedly ran outside the door, stumbled and fell at Ye Ziqi's feet and shouted hoarsely at Ye Ziqi: "It's not good. The Xie family's mutiny failed."

"What!" Xie Qingyun, who was standing outside the door, lost her composure and called out.

Ye Ziqi lowered his face.The leaf stage doesn't work, it's too fast, why is it so fast.Immediately grabbed the servant's collar and asked him seriously: "Speak carefully."

"This... this..." The servant said to Ye Ziqi tremblingly: "It is said that someone in the Xie family has rebelled. The emperor immediately knew what the Xie family was doing, and immediately sent troops to intercept them. And All Xie family’s soldiers have also rebelled.”

The servant said in a voice: "Now there are a large number of soldiers and horses going to various places, and now a group of soldiers and horses are rushing to Fengmanlou. The emperor is going to start a sweeping search."

Ye Ziqi looked at the books and letters that were still burning, but fortunately, Ye Ziqi had come first and destroyed them all.Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

Looking at Xie Qingyun, who was standing by the side, Ye Ziqi didn't show any sympathy.Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It is a pity that the century-old Xie family was destroyed in one day.

But the leaf period did not relax, but became more restless.If the emperor had expected it from the beginning, wouldn't the reason for pampering Xie's family so much be to wipe out the palace in the future?

Ye Ziqi hurriedly called Qi Ye who was beside him, and told him: "Hurry up, send Xie Qingyun out quickly." It was up to Xie Qingyun himself whether he could escape this catastrophe, Ye Ziqi couldn't help him.

Xie Qingyun was still immersed in disbelief, and whispered softly: "Failed, is it really wrong? Are we really wrong?"

Qi Ye dragged Xie Qingyun's arm and was about to take it outside.Xie Qingyun struggled for a while, and shouted at Ye Ziqi in a changed manner from before: "I know, I always knew there would be problems. But what can I do, I can't change it. What do you know, if not If the palace refuses to unite, maybe it won't be defeated so thoroughly."

Seeing Xie Qingyun who had torn off his mask of elegance, Ye Ziqi suddenly felt a little pitiful for him.Ye Ziqi sighed softly: "Even if Wang Fu and Xie's family are together, it won't work. The two families have long disagreed, just like the man in black who took me away was sent by your Xie family."

"If you knew it was a mistake from the beginning, why didn't you choose to leave?" Ye Ziqi wondered.

But Xie Qingyun didn't answer this question again, but just looked at Ye Ziqi with eyes that Ye Ziqi couldn't understand.That deep sense of powerlessness made Ye Ziqi's hands tremble slightly.

Leaf stage took a few steps back and fell on the chair.Looking at the back of Qi Ye taking Xie Qingyun out, Ye Ziqi seemed to understand the deep sense of helplessness.

Before Ye Ziqi had sorted out everything that happened just now.Another servant rushed in from outside the door and said something that made Ye Ziqi feel suffocated.

"Second Highness... It's bad, it's bad, the big thing is bad. The emperor sent troops to surround the palace now!"

The dizziness hit, and the leaf stage didn't even have the strength to breathe.Out of breath for a while, he coughed dryly on the stool.

The palace was surrounded by the emperor's soldiers and horses.
