At noon the next day, Jiang Ye woke up in a daze, feeling as if his head had been damaged.
My stomach felt even more uncomfortable.
"Come here, bring me a cup of tea." He rubbed his head and frowned.
The guard came into the room after hearing the sound and silently brought him tea. Jiang Ye drank it in one gulp and heard the guard's hesitant voice.
"Sir, the Third Prince asked you to find him when you wake up."
puff--
"Ahem, cough, cough." Jiang Ye was indeed choked. The guard quickly took the tea cup and put it aside to let him breathe.
"Third Prince?" Baili Jin?
After it had almost calmed down, he continued to ask: "What do you want me to do if you have nothing to do? And why does my master's head hurt so much? My neck also hurts a little."
After asking, the guard in front of him fell silent, as if he didn't dare to speak.
Jiang Ye endured his headache and scolded: "You are too brave to eat a bear's heart. I am asking you something!" He didn't even answer.
The guard had a grimace on his face, glanced at his face and immediately lowered his head, whispering: "You were drunk last night, it was Prince Jin who carried you back."
"What?" Suddenly, Jiang Ye almost broke his voice and his head was buzzing.
He did drink too much last night, and he seemed to have gone out.
He remembered...he also went to find Miss Mu, and later...
What happened next?
Then he heard a little quarrel between Jiang Wan and the fifth sister.
Suddenly, he opened the quilt and jumped out of bed, looking at his guard in horror, "Did the prince say anything else?!!"
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have done something unjust!
Oh my god, wasn't it his dream? Did it really happen?
"No, the prince will ask you to find him after you wake up, but there is something wrong with his expression."
It's over.
In an instant, all Jiang Ye could think about was these two words. He fell back on the bed and couldn't care less about the headache he was having.
It doesn't matter if he was caught drinking. The important thing is that he went out and caused trouble.
Damn it, damn it, why does he have to drink?
Thinking this, he glanced at the table subconsciously, and then froze again, "Is there another jar of wine that I have? Where is it?!"
He was a little crazy. When he woke up, he was told that he was being targeted by the prince, and now he was gone.
The guard coughed dryly and said, "Prince Jin took it away." He didn't dare to stop him, his head wasn't even big enough to cut off.
Obtaining evidence of guilt? Jiang Ye only had this idea.
Seeing his young master's expression of being struck by lightning, he kindly reminded him, "Sir, would you like to drink some porridge first? You were so drunk that you fell unconscious yesterday, and you didn't eat anything this morning. You have to go see the prince later.
"
You have to take care of your stomach first, it’s been a long day.
"I don't want to eat anymore. Please help me change my clothes." What else can I eat if my life is almost over?
When he hurried to Bailijin's courtyard, Bailijin happened to be in the house.
After hearing the guard's announcement, Bai Lijin put down the drawing book in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Let him get in."
This was said loudly on purpose. When Jiang Ye heard this sentence outside, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He knew something was wrong, so he quickly entered the room and saluted respectfully.
"My lord, your lord." He stared at the ground nervously, not daring to look up at all.
Baili Jin deliberately lowered his voice, raised his eyelids, picked up the book and read it again, and asked unhurriedly: "How did Second Young Master Jiang sleep?"
Cold sweat almost broke out on Jiang Ye's forehead, and he nodded solemnly, "Okay."
With a "pop" sound, the book was slammed onto the table, like a sledgehammer hitting Jiang Ye's heart, which frightened him greatly.
His legs softened and he knelt on the ground.
Hehe, there is no future.
Seeing his trembling appearance, Bai Lijin's eyes showed disgust, and he asked coldly: "Jiang Ye, you are so brave, you dare to drink in the courtyard, don't you know that this is an important place for Buddhism!"
Outside the house, the guard guarding the door twitched his mouth. It seemed that His Highness had also drank, and he could still be so confident.
"Your Majesty, I..." Jiang Ye broke into a cold sweat and couldn't say a complete sentence.
The main thing is that Baili Jin has the prince behind him to rely on. He usually doesn't dare to offend easily. No, he doesn't have such courage.
"Do you know what you did last night?"
The point came, and Jiang Ye felt a little trembling in his heart.
"Oh, it seems Mr. Jiang has forgotten, right? Then I will help you recall. You dared to break into Miss Mu's courtyard last night and spoke rudely to her. If I hadn't been following you behind you, I'm afraid you would still have
There has to be some trouble."
Baili Jin kept silent about Jiang Lan's matter, so naturally he couldn't talk about it, but Jiang Ye wasn't too drunk last night, and he still remembered some things, so it would be too far-fetched for him to think it was a dream.
Therefore, we can only tell half of it and hide the other half.
Anyway, Mu Qingyan was protected by the emperor's brother, so Jiang Ye didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Jiang Ye was obviously stunned for a moment. How come what he remembered was so different from what the prince said?
He clearly remembered seeing Jiang Lan and Jiang Wan arguing?
"The king is talking to you!" Baili Jin looked up at him with a flash of his eyes.
"Miss Mu is the future crown princess and the legitimate daughter of the royal family. How can you allow yourself to get involved? Don't you think it's enough to embarrass the prime minister? Or are you provoking my royal brother?"
Although Jiang Ye didn't understand why he followed him, when he heard the last sentence, he quickly denied it, "The prince is serious, I must not dare, it is all a misunderstanding."
If the prince is involved, he will undoubtedly die. Now he only hopes that his life can be saved, and that his father does not know.
"Do you still remember what you did?" Bai Lijin asked tentatively, because just now he suddenly remembered something very important.
Although Jiang Lan had already made an agreement, there was still one person at that time, and that was Jiang Wan, the fourth young lady of the Jiang family.
Jiang Ye remembered that they had a quarrel, and even if he thought it was a dream, he would definitely ask Jiang Wan for confirmation.
If Jiang Wan tells it, Jiang Ye discovers that the dream and reality are exactly the same. Wouldn't it be a lie?
Jiang Ye was silent for a moment, and then said cautiously: "I vaguely remember having a vague dream about my fourth and fifth sisters."
Naturally, he couldn't say any more after that and stopped at the point he made.
Sure enough, he was still suspicious, and Baili Jin suddenly had a headache. This loophole was too obvious, and he had to quickly find a way to fill it.
Although Baili Jin was flustered, there was a hint of anger on his face, and he snorted coldly, "It seems you still remember, it was just a quarrel between women, and you actually wanted to take action, if I hadn't taken action and knocked you unconscious.
You, I'm afraid that your rumors will spread throughout the entire temple early today, and then you, the second young master, will be in trouble."
Well, that's all I can say. He actually ignored Jiang Wan. Fortunately, he was lucky that Jiang Ye didn't see his face last night.
Jiang Ye asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you mean that I still want to break up the fight?"
Bailijin nodded with a sullen face, his palms almost sweating. This lie was too difficult to pull back. It would be better to just let him lose his memory.
Although there are some discrepancies with his own memories, they are generally correct. As for what he did to Jiang Lan, I'm afraid it was really a dream he had after being knocked unconscious by the prince.
That's good, that's good.
Jiang Ye is not an ignorant person, but he does not want to admit that he has done such a treasonous thing, so naturally he will not go into it further.
"You are really brave, but the emperor, thinking of Prime Minister Jiang's contribution, will spare your death and not publicize it to the outside world."
Jiang Ye's face was filled with joy, "I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your kindness!"
At this moment, he was surprised and happy. What was surprising was that the prince already knew what he had done to Mu Qingyan. What was happy was that the prince did not intend to make a fuss.
But of course it wasn't for him.
"Wait a minute, don't speak too early." Baili Jin raised his hand and looked at him faintly, "You can't escape the death penalty. You can go back today. Facing the wall and thinking for half a month is your punishment."
"I must obey the prince's instructions." It's better to just think about it in front of the wall than to make it known to everyone.
Bailijin beat him again and then let him go back. On the way back, the more Jiang Ye thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
But he clearly remembers Jiang Lan, is he really dreaming?
Baili Jin's threatening words rang in his ears. He shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it. This time he was lucky enough to escape the disaster. Why should he pursue the case? If he took it seriously, I'm afraid the prince would be the first one to do it.
Can't spare him.
But he was still shocked. He actually dared to break into Mu Qingyan's yard last night. Sure enough, he was drinking and causing trouble!
The guard behind him stared at the scolded Feng Xian and reminded him: "Sir, are you going to set off immediately?"
Surprisingly, there was no beating or scolding as he imagined.
Jiang Ye had a gloomy look on his face, "We'll talk about it when we get back, I'm hungry."
There's nothing to take care of anyway, but you have to let him eat first.
The guard was silent for a moment, and then said cautiously: "I think it is better for the young master to set off immediately, so as not to make the prince unhappy again if he finds out about it."
…
Jiang Ye paused for a moment, thinking about it.
"Then let's go."
It doesn't matter what kind of carriage it is, he is not a useless person. If he leaves in a carriage with great fanfare now, wouldn't he become a joke?
——
"Your Majesty, they have left." The guard who had been following him went back to report.
Baili Jin curled his lips, so quickly? It seems that the emperor's power is not small.
He put down his hand and stretched his body comfortably, "It's done. I'm exhausted. Bring over the jar of wine."
The guard twitched his mouth, who just spoke uprightly against the Second Young Master Jiang?
Despite this thought, the waiter quickly took the wine and glasses.
Bailijin's eyes shone brightly, and he was about to enjoy it when he heard words from outside, "Your Majesty, the fifth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion said outside the door that she wanted to see you."
Jiang Lan? What is she doing here?
Bai Lijin got up and walked to the desk beside him to sit down, and then said, "Let her in."
But I have some doubts in my heart. He also said last night that everyone had forgotten about that incident, so why did he still come here today.
Besides, wouldn't it make people more suspicious if she came to see him so suddenly?
