The next day, the entourage outside the Ning Wang Mansion had already been fully equipped, waiting for their master, Ning Wang, to give an order to set off, but they waited and waited, but Ning Wang never came.
Ouyang Wu saw that he was still reluctant to leave, and couldn't help but whispered: "The guards outside have been waiting for a long time, it's time to set off."
Ye Zhonghua held her face and stared at her obsidian-like bright jade. Suddenly, he hugged her fiercely in his arms, and the force seemed to want to rub her into his body and never separate.
Ouyang Wu felt this tight embrace and smelled the faint fragrance of the white flowers on his body. Her heart was also slightly bitter, and she finally felt a little sad about parting.
The hand behind Ouyang Wu's head stroked her hair slowly, and a deep voice sounded above her head: "Wu'er, I really want to take you with me, but, this time, I can't."
Ouyang Wu raised her head slightly, and ran straight into Ye Zhonghua's eyes, with a strong reluctance in her black eyes. She slowly raised her hands that were originally hanging at her side, wrapped them around Ye Zhonghua's waist, buried her head in his chest, and said sullenly: "Come back earlier."
Ye Zhonghua smiled at the corner of his lips and gave her a gentle kiss: "Okay."
After thinking for a while, he said with some displeasure: "When I'm not around, don't go to Rong Suiyun's place too much. . "
"Yes."
"Don't rush to make desserts, take care of yourself."
"Okay."
Ye Chonghua paused, the smile on his lips deepened, and he said: "Remember to think of me."
Ouyang Wu, who was buried in Ye Chonghua's arms, smiled slowly and widened, and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
Ye Chonghua slowly let go of Ouyang Wu in his arms, looked at her face and said: "I'm leaving."
Ouyang Wu nodded and said: "Be careful on the road, take care of yourself, and come back early."
Ye Chonghua nodded slightly, with rare tenderness between his eyebrows, and his phoenix eyes narrowed, as bright as fireworks in March. His light and shallow lips kissed her forehead again: "Wait for me to come back."
After that, he turned around and strode out of the door.
Ouyang Wu looked at Ye Chonghua's departing back, and felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, as if she was reluctant to leave. Last night, Ouyang Wu spent half the night watching the stars on the roof. As soon as Ye Chonghua left, Ouyang Wu felt relaxed and tired, so she went back to bed to catch up on some sleep.
I was a little dazed when I slept, but was awakened by Zhu Lu's knocking on the door. I slowly opened my eyes and only vaguely heard Zhu Lu knocking on the door and saying outside: "Princess, Princess."
After calming down, Ouyang Wu's mind slowly woke up. She just woke up with a hoarse voice and answered: "What's the matter?"
"Princess, someone from the Ouyang Mansion of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been sent! They are waiting in the hall." Zhu Lu said hurriedly.
Ouyang Wu was slowly getting up and leaning against the head of the bed. When she heard this, her face was blank and her eyes seemed to be puzzled. She frowned slightly and said: "Oh?"
"It is said that the master-in-law sent to see you." Zhu Lu added.
Ouyang Mansion? Ouyang Liu?
This father never liked his daughter. Except for pretending to be reluctant when she got married, there was nothing else. After coming to Xiling, there was no news from him. Ouyang Wu had forgotten that she had a nominal father. I don't know what he was thinking when he sent someone here.
However, no matter what he wanted to do, he still had to come out and see. Ouyang Wu slowly got up, simply tidied up her makeup, and then walked leisurely to the front hall.
When Ouyang Wu arrived at the front hall, she was a little confused. She recognized the middle-aged man as Uncle Zhong in the Ouyang Mansion. This man worked as a handyman in the Ouyang Mansion and had never spoken to Ouyang Wu before.
Although Ouyang Wu knew who he was, she didn't have any impression of him. She just felt strange that Ouyang Liu would assign him such an errand.
Uncle Zhong saw Ouyang Wu coming out, and hurriedly stood in front of her and bowed respectfully to her, then he said: "Princess, it has been a while since you married Xiling, and the master misses you very much, so he sent me some specialties from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. First, it can relieve your pain of missing your country, and second, my visit can also appease the Prime Minister's feelings of missing his daughter."
Ouyang Wu listened to these words, with a hint of irony at the corner of her lips. She had never felt the pain of missing her country, and Ouyang Liu probably wouldn't miss his daughter either. Why was he like this?
Looking at the many specialties of the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the ground, could it be...
Thinking of this, Ouyang Wu's expression gradually turned cold. Thinking of Ouyang Liu's face, he felt more and more disgusted. He just wanted to get rid of the person in front of him as soon as possible, so he said, "Thank you for your trouble, father. Go back and tell your father that Wu'er is doing well here, don't worry."
Uncle Zhong looked at his happy face and said, "The master must be very happy to hear that. The master also said that if you and the prince are free, you can go back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to see it, so that he can see it in person."
Ouyang Wu nodded, and asked Zhulu to reward Uncle Zhong with some silver. He left with a happy face.
As soon as Uncle Zhong left, Ouyang Wu's face darkened, and he told Zhulu and several maids to open those specialties one by one. Ouyang Wu tried them one by one with a silver needle in his hand. Looking at the silver needle that did not change, he couldn't help but have a faint doubt in his eyes.
There is no poison in the specialty, so what exactly is Ouyang Liu going to do?
Uncle Zhong's figure flashed through Ouyang Wu's mind just now, as if an idea suddenly flashed, but it passed too quickly, and there was no time to catch it, but she always felt that this matter seemed a little strange, so she couldn't help but frowned, looking at those specialties and fell into deep thought.
"Sister." A soft shout woke Ouyang Wu up. Ouyang Wu looked up and saw Xiao Nuo standing at the door, with a pair of clear eyes, looking at her without blinking.
Some time ago, Ye Chonghua occupied Ouyang Wu as soon as he returned to the mansion, and Xiao Nuo was very depressed. He had less time to see his sister, sometimes not even a day. This morning, he heard that Ye Chonghua went out, and ran to find Ouyang Wu happily after practicing sword, but saw Ouyang Wu staring blankly at the pile of things, which also contained some exquisite food.
Since he couldn't see Ouyang Wu anymore, Ye Nuo rarely ate the food made by Ouyang Wu herself. Now, seeing so many foods placed in the hall, some of which looked very exquisite, he couldn't help but show his longing.
After all, he was just a child, and Xiao Nuo was still looking forward to delicious food.
Ouyang Wu looked at Xiao Nuo's eager look at the food, and couldn't help but said: "Xiao Nuo, do you want to eat?"
Xiao Nuo hummed embarrassedly, and there seemed to be a hint of blush on her face.
Ouyang Wu said: "Well, sister will make it for you. It's better not to eat unclean things. Zhulu, throw these things away."
After that, she took Xiao Nuo to the kitchen, leaving Zhulu with a dazed look behind.
Throw it away? Zhulu looked at the full specialties, and felt a little entangled in her heart, but the princess always kept her word. The princess said to throw it away, so let's throw it away.
Thinking of this, she asked the servants to move the things and leave the front hall.
Xiao Nuo looked at the chicken wings rotating in the oven. Her sister said that this was called Orleans grilled wings, and they were made in two flavors: spicy and honey. She couldn't help drooling at the tempting aroma. From time to time, she ran to ask Ouyang Wu when she could eat it.
Ouyang Wu looked at Xiao Nuo's expectant face, and the previous haze disappeared. She bent down slightly and tapped Xiao Nuo's nose: "Little greedy ghost, it's almost ready!"
These chicken wings were the most tender ones that she specially ordered people to select. They were not like those modern quick-frozen products. The taste was adjusted according to the taste in her memory. It was a pity that after Xiao Qilin got the Heart of the Ocean, he began to charge energy and the space began to close. Otherwise, she could enter the space to get better materials.
Hearing the ding sound from the oven, the chicken wings inside were already baked. As soon as Ouyang Wu opened the oven door, the kitchen was filled with a strong aroma that stimulated people's taste buds.
Xiao Nuo unconsciously leaned forward, and Ouyang Wu subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it, saying: "Be careful, it's hot."
Looking at Xiao Nuo's expression, it was funny. Xiao Nuo seemed embarrassed, but still said happily: "Sister, it smells so good."
Ouyang Wu smiled and took out the chicken wings from the oven, put them on a beautiful porcelain plate, and handed a pair of plastic gloves to Xiao Nuo. Xiao Nuo put on the gloves curiously, and then kept blowing on the chicken wings. When it was almost cool, she stretched out her hand and gently pinched the two ends, leaned over and bit them.
Xiao Nuo's eating manner was elegant and reserved, but you could still see his satisfied look. He kept biting the chicken wings, eating the delicious meat cleanly, and even wanted to swallow the bones.
Ouyang Wu saw that Xiao Nuo was eating happily and satisfied, and she felt that it was worth it. Seeing some extra chicken nuggets on the side, she made some more chicken nuggets.
After Xiao Nuo finished eating a few chicken wings, she saw that Ouyang Wu had made a few new pieces. She showed deep joy on her face and looked at Ouyang Wu and asked, "Sister, what is this?"
Ouyang Wu smiled and said, "This is a chicken nugget, Xiao Nuo, come and try it."
As she said that, she carefully tore off a small piece and handed it to Xiao Nuo's mouth. Xiao Nuo opened his mouth and swallowed it, squinting his eyes and said, "It's delicious."
As she said that, she took the whole piece of chicken from Ouyang Wu's hand, put it in her mouth and chewed it. The more she ate, the more delicious it felt, and she seemed to be unable to stop eating.
Looking at Xiao Nuo's no longer reserved eating appearance, Ouyang Wu laughed out loud with satisfaction. After a while, she would move these delicious foods to Man Kee and make a lot of money again.
At this moment, I couldn't help but think of Ye Chonghua who had set out in the morning. I wonder where he is now.
Ye Feixi has been honest since he was abandoned by the emperor. He stayed in the Fourth Prince's Mansion and no longer made trouble. But some people didn't want him to be so quiet.
As soon as Ye Feiqing stepped into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he saw Ye Feixi sitting in the yard, drinking tea and reading a book out of boredom.
Ye Feiqing raised his eyebrows, and a hint of irony appeared on the corners of his lips, but it was only fleeting. In the blink of an eye, he looked gentle again and called Ye Feixi, "Fourth Brother."
Ye Feixi looked up when he heard the call, and seeing that it was Ye Feiqing, he nodded lightly and said, "Why did Fifth Brother think of my dilapidated prince's mansion today?"
Ye Feiqing smiled and slowly walked into Ye Feixi, saying, "Fourth Brother, what are you talking about? Feiqing was busy a few days ago, and should have come to see Fourth Brother earlier."
Ye Feixi sneered and said, "Fourth Brother is the most useless now, what's there to see."
"Fourth Brother, how can you belittle yourself like this? In the end, it's better to be implicated by a few women. Are you going to stay at home like this and let others manipulate you?"
Ye Feixi was a little surprised when he heard the words, and looked up at Ye Feiqing, only to see that he was looking at him, sighing, and there seemed to be a trace of regret in his eyes. Ye Feixi was very displeased with Ye Feiqing's look. He glanced at him and then lowered his head, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
Seeing that Ye Feixi was unmoved, Ye Feiqing continued to speak patiently: "Now Second Brother is really favored by the Emperor. These originally belonged to Fourth Brother. Isn't Fourth Brother angry at all?"
A trace of anger slowly emerged on Ye Feixi's suppressed face. Yes, those were originally his, but Ye Chonghua, it was Ye Chonghua, who took everything from him! The more Ye Feixi thought about it, the angrier he became. The hand holding the teacup couldn't help but clench tightly.
Ye Feiqing saw Ye Feiqing like this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled lightly: "Feiqing is not talented, but there is a way to help the fourth brother."
Ye Feixi raised his head and glanced at him coldly. His fifth brother has always been known as a wise king, and he is also very popular. There are countless people who are on good terms with him, but he has never been able to see through him. He seems to have a gentle appearance, but he always feels that there is something hidden. He really can't understand this person. Now he suddenly offers advice, and he doesn't know what conspiracy he has.
Moreover, the emperor was very displeased with him during this period, so he just needed to stay in the mansion quietly. He was the legitimate prince, so wasn't it time for him to make a comeback?
Ye Feiqing saw that Ye Feixi was not moved, and thought to himself that his fourth brother had grown in wit. After thinking for a moment, he continued to smile and said, "Second brother is good at guessing people's minds. In addition, although Feiqing has only been back for a few days, he has heard that she is a very powerful person. If second brother gets this woman, it will be like a tiger with wings. If both of them are here, it will be very difficult to deal with them."
Ye Feiqing's words touched Ye Feixi's heart. He suffered so many losses from these two people that he ended up in this situation, and he became more and more resentful in his heart.
Ye Feiqing carefully observed Ye Feixi's expression, and seeing that he was relaxed, he continued: "But Feiqing heard that the second brother left early this morning and was sent out by the emperor. He really can't come back for a while. This is a great opportunity. Does the fourth brother really want to miss this opportunity?"
Ye Feixi was provoked by Ye Feiqing, but he still looked up at Ye Feiqing who was giving him advice, but a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Why are you helping me?"
Ye Feiqing laughed, and there seemed to be a trace of helplessness and calmness in his smile. He said: "The second brother is the legitimate prince. The position of the prince belongs to you. Feiqing just wants to help you and just hope to have a worry-free life."
Ye Feixi looked at Ye Feiqing's face full of submission and calmness, and suddenly laughed. As long as there are people with weaknesses, they can be controlled. He said, "Fifth brother, don't worry. If this is accomplished, Fourth Brother will do as you wish."
Ye Feiqing smiled, bowed to Ye Feixi, and said, "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
The Fourth Prince's mansion was filled with hearty laughter, which seemed to be full of pride.
"How can this be!" In the majestic palace, the emperor roared and slapped the table with one hand, shaking the tea set. The emperor was furious at this moment. He was so angry that the border map of the Eastern Jin Dynasty disappeared. It just disappeared without a trace!
How could such a major secret disappear without a trace? !
"Come on, pass the order down, seal the palace gate, and search every corner of the palace carefully for me!" The emperor's lips twitched with anger, and his eyes were even more angry, mixed with heavy worry. If such an important thing spread out, the impact on Xiling would be unimaginable.
Ye Feixi entered the palace today under the pretext of visiting the queen, but met Ye Feiqing who was also visiting the queen in the queen's palace. They couldn't help but smile at each other.
After chatting with the queen for a while, they heard the news of the palace gate being blocked. Ye Feixi couldn't help but give Ye Feiqing a look. Both of them understood. After sitting for a while, they got up and left the queen's palace and hurried to the imperial study.
All the people in the palace were dispatched to search the entire palace, but there was still no trace of the defense map. The emperor was so anxious that he kept pacing in front of the desk, saying, "How could it disappear like this! Someone must have taken it. Check it carefully for me. If you find it, kill them without mercy!"
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs saw that the emperor was angry, so they all knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and dared not breathe.
The emperor glared at the useless servants, but saw a maid with flickering eyes, looking up from time to time, as if she wanted to say something but stopped, with a very strange look.
"You, do you know anything?" The emperor pointed his finger directly at the maid.
The maid was very flustered when she saw that she was named, and stammered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that day I... I saw..." The emperor seemed very impatient and said: "What did you see?"
The maid took a deep breath and said: "Yesterday I saw Princess Ning enter the palace, saying that she was going to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, but later I found that Princess Ning was not walking towards the Empress Dowager's palace, so I couldn't help but follow her for a while, and saw... I saw Princess Ning sneaking around, as if she was looking for something..."
"What? Are you serious?" The emperor looked surprised and roared.
The maid was yelled at by the emperor, and she fell to the ground, saying, "I deserve to die, I shouldn't follow Princess Ning, I deserve to die!"
The emperor looked at the maid's appearance, and he believed her more and more. His face turned pale. He couldn't help but think of Ouyang Wu, the woman with great medical skills and stunning beauty. Fei Bai was willing to exchange her for six cities. Her eyes were bright and lively, and she must be very smart. She always had some rare things in her hands, but she was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This alone could offset all her advantages.
The emperor's mind kept showing the scenes of her every time she appeared. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Could it be that she really did this?
Just when the emperor was hesitating, a voice came from outside: "The fourth prince wants to see you."
The emperor was actually irritable, and he didn't want to see Ye Feixi, who he disliked very much during this period, so he just wanted to say no. But in the blink of an eye, Ye Feixi ran in hurriedly, knelt down and said to the emperor: "Father! I have something important to report." The emperor's face was very ugly, and he said: "Is this your rule as a prince? You are getting more and more unruly!"
Ye Feixi lowered his head and said: "Father, calm down. I heard that your border map was lost. I may know something, so I am a little anxious."
The emperor was already worried about the border map. When he heard Ye Feixi say this, his anger towards Ye Feixi dissipated a little, and he said: "You know something What, tell me now!"
Ye Feixi raised his head and said, "My subordinates found out that several spies from the Eastern Jin Dynasty had sneaked into Dadu, so they tried their best to track them down, but they didn't expect..."
When the emperor heard the word "Eastern Jin Dynasty" and thought of the lost border map, his body tensed up involuntarily: "What don't you expect?"
Ye Feixi looked extremely sad and said, "But I didn't expect that I would find out that those spies from the Eastern Jin Dynasty went to find my second sister-in-law." "Is this true?" It was Ouyang Wu again, and the emperor's face looked worse and worse. "I dare not joke about these things, every word is true." Ye Feixi looked straight at the emperor with a firm face.
After the last few incidents, the emperor doubted Ye Feixi's ability, so he didn't trust Ye Feixi's words very much, so he called out his personal guards and ordered them to investigate thoroughly.
If it was true at this time, he would definitely clean up the mess before Ye Feibai came back!
The emperor's anxiety gradually eased, and he looked up at Ye Feixi. He had thought that he was incapable before, but now that he could track down spies, he thought that he performed well.
The emperor's personal guard was very efficient, and he came back in a moment and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear. The emperor's anger, which had just subsided, reappeared and he shouted, "How ridiculous! She actually contacted Dong Jin!" Ye Feixi, who had pretended to be honest, said at the right time: "Father, Feixi didn't say it before, for fear that you would say that Feixi's mind was not right. Now I can only say it."
The emperor looked up at Ye Feixi and motioned him to continue. Ye Feixi continued: "Second sister-in-law is a person who should not be underestimated. She is Dong Jin. The daughter of the left prime minister of Jin must be quite capable. These days, even Feixi admires the second sister-in-law's strength. "
"But in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is such a thing. The second sister-in-law has been engaged to the Huai'an King of the Eastern Jin Dynasty since she was a child, but after the second brother went to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, she quietly cancelled it. Father, think about it, the Huai'an King is not only a famous handsome man in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but his status and talent are not inferior to the second brother. As the fifth lady of the Ouyang family, why would she go so far away and marry in our Xiling?"
Ye Feixi stopped talking in time, but his expression was very puzzled.
After listening to these words, the emperor's face became more gloomy. Ouyang Wu, did she really come for this defense plan? She was willing to marry Feibai? Such a smart woman would act like this? But it seems that no one else can do this except her.
Finally, the emperor said, "Summon Ouyang Wu to the palace."
Ye Feixi lowered his head with a triumphant smile on his lips.
