Zhou Gu's departure from the capital caused shock in various mansions.
Some people speculated that because of Zhou Gu's temperament, he really went on a trip. They believed the old protector and his words in front of the emperor. He traveled to understand the people's sentiments in various places in Daliang in order to become a good official in the future. Some people speculated that he
It was a sword sent out by Prince Yan Huisheng to perform a secret mission. There were obstacles that the Prince could not control and clear in the capital, so he had to send someone out to clear the obstacles for him. That person must be Zhou Gu.
Ye Qiuying heard the servants of Chengguo Palace talking about the young master going out for a trip on Thursday. She went to Ye Guixue's yard and saw him standing at the table writing a letter. She waited quietly for a while until he wrote the letter.
After finishing writing and sending someone to send it out, she walked up to him and said, "Uncle, I heard that the little brother from the Zhou family went on a trip and left early this morning."
Ye Guixue said "hmm".
Ye Qiuying looked up at him, "Uncle, when will you leave?"
"I will prepare for tomorrow." Ye Guixue said, "I will enter the palace today to say goodbye to His Majesty Daliang."
Ye Qiuying nodded and whispered: "Sister Su Qi didn't go out of the city to see him off. The prince of the East Palace, Prince Xie of Ruian Palace, the eldest brother of the Su family and his playmates all went out of the city to see him off.
Already."
Ye Guixue rubbed Ye Qiuying's head and smiled, "I know."
Ye Qiuying asked: "Uncle, when should I go to the East Palace?"
Ye Guixue patted her head and said warmly: "If my guess is correct, your sister Su Qi will come to the house to pick you up today and take you to the East Palace."
Ye Qiuying nodded obediently, "Then I'll wait for her at the house."
Ye Guixue nodded, "I'll go to the palace first and wait with you when I come back. She shouldn't come too early."
Ye Qiuying nodded again.
In the palace, the emperor was still recovering from his illness today and did not have morning court. The second prince, Yan Lin, came into the palace every day to ask for an audience with the emperor. He finally got the emperor's permission and allowed him to enter the Yangxin Hall.
When Yan Lin saw the emperor, he looked aggrieved and said, "Father, I am very worried about your health. Are you okay?"
The emperor became angry when he saw Yan Lin, but now he endured his anger and said to him: "I am fine and I won't die. You don't have to worry."
Yan Lin's heart sank. The emperor had never spoken to him like this in the past, but now he treated him with this attitude. He felt even more aggrieved. "Father, did I offend you in some way? I don't know about my eldest brother's affairs."
Ah, you can't make your son angry because of your eldest brother, he didn't do anything."
The emperor said angrily: "When did I get angry at you? Aren't you just wandering around now? This made the old protector of the country say to me that you princes are too idle. Since you are idle and thinking wildly, why not do it for me?"
Get ready for the Qionglin Banquet."
Yan Lin was stunned, "Father, would you like me to prepare the Qionglin Banquet?"
"Yes, go ahead!" The emperor waved to him.
Yan Lin suddenly felt comfortable, but also had some doubts about whether he was overthinking it? The Qionglin Banquet was a big deal. His father did not leave it to the Queen and the Crown Prince, but handed it over to him instead. Was this because he was showing favor to him? Or was he testing him?
Test him? No matter what, he has to get this thing done.
Yan Lin walked out of the palace and met Ye Guixue entering the palace at the entrance.
He was about to get on the carriage, but when he saw Ye Guixue getting off the carriage, he immediately turned around and walked towards Ye Guixue, "Second Young Master Ye."
Ye Guixue nodded and said, "Your Highness."
Yan Lin said: "You are entering the palace to see your father? I heard that you are leaving Beijing soon?"
Ye Guixue nodded, "Yes."
Yan Lin invited, "Tonight, we will hold a banquet in Mingyue Tower to see off Second Young Master Ye, and Second Young Master Ye will reward you?" He was afraid that Ye Guixue would not agree, so he lowered his voice and added, "I have a business deal with Ye.
Second Young Master Ye cooperates, Second Young Master Ye, don’t refuse in a hurry, this deal is related to Miss Su Qi’s life, Second Young Master Ye must be interested.”
Ye Guixue looked at Yan Lin and accepted his invitation, "Okay."
Yan Lin was satisfied, "Then it's settled. At three o'clock in the morning, we will be waiting for Young Master Ye in Room 1, Tianzi, Mingyue Tower."
Ye Guixue nodded.
Yan Lin turned around and got on the carriage easily.
Ye Guixue entered the palace.
The emperor did not keep him waiting long and invited him into the Yangxin Hall. The serving father-in-law brought him a chair and invited Ye Guixue to sit down.
Ye Guixue first asked about the emperor's health and safety, and then explained his purpose of coming, saying that he would leave Beijing tomorrow.
The emperor remembered that he came to the capital of Daliang on a secret mission from the King of Southern Chu, asking him to issue an imperial edict and announce Su Rong's identity to the world. But now that Daliang was worried about internal affairs, he really didn't dare. He sighed, "
Second Young Master Ye, you go back and tell the King of Nanchu that Su Rong is my niece. I am willing to announce her identity to the world, but now you also know that the case of the precious concubine is too involved, and I have found out again
In recent years, due to my connivance, the national treasury has been empty. Su Rong is now in Daliang, and he is trying his best to help me relieve my internal worries. Now that the internal worries are not settled, I dare not take the initiative to cause trouble. Once a storm arises,
, leading the Wei Dynasty to raise troops to invade, which will do a lot of harm to the beams and no benefit. If the beams are difficult to support, it will also be harmful to Southern Chu. Therefore, I have thought about it again and again, and still feel that I should give it a little more time to calm down my internal worries, and also to wait for the Soviet Union.
Before I leave Daliang and go to Nanchu, I will issue another decree to inform the world."
Ye Guixue was also aware of the current situation in Daliang. She nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will definitely convey His Majesty's original words to the King after I return to Nanchu."
When the emperor saw his promise, he felt relieved and said some goodbyes to him, but he didn't mention Su Rong again.
Half an hour later, Ye Guixue said goodbye to the emperor and left the palace.
When he returned to Duke Chengguo's mansion, he saw Xie's carriage parked at the door. He asked the boy guarding the door, "But Miss Su Qi is here?"
"That's right, Miss Su Qi has been here for a while, and Miss Eleven and Miss Qiu Ying are accompanying her," the boy said quickly.
Ye Guixue nodded and quickly entered the house.
Lu Mingran was instructed by Lu Weiran that day to lead Su Rong to see Ye Guixue and have a lesson with Su Rong. Compared with other ladies in the house, she was more familiar with Su Rong, so after Su Rong came to visit,
Accompanied by Lu Mingran.
Ye Qiuying had already packed all her belongings and was just waiting for Su Rong to pick her up. After meeting Su Rong, she looked up at her and asked: "Sister Su Qi, are you here to pick me up and take me to the East Palace?"
Su Rong nodded, "Yes."
Ye Qiuying whispered: "My uncle asked us to wait for him, and he will accompany us to the East Palace."
Su Rong had no objection, "Okay, then just wait for him."
The three of them sat and talked for a while. After waiting for about half an hour, they saw Ye Guixue coming back. Lu Mingran got up and left, leaving Su Rong talking to Ye Guixue and Ye Qiuying.
