When winter came, the matter of Zi Sang’s invasion of the three eastern cities of Dai Viet was finally resolved satisfactorily. The Zi Sang army all withdrew from Dai Viet, and the second prince Jin Yu fled back to Zi Sang. For the first time, the most talented heir to the throne had his first taste of defeat.

On Dayue's side, Ninth Prince Bai Ye and Ninth Concubine Luo Zhiyi were both injured in the battle in the East Three Cities. The Emperor sympathized and asked the Ninth Prince and his wife to recover from their injuries in the East Three Cities, and return to the capital after recovering from their injuries.

For the emperor's sympathy, Bai Ye was very happy on the face. He accompanied Luo Zhiyi all day long. Luo Zhiyi walks on the beach, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, watching the sunrise on the sea......

The two lingered in every corner of the East Three Cities, looking for the happiness and sweetness of ordinary people.

Seeing the two of them as gluey as knees, inseparable, Luo Yunting and Luo Yunxi left with peace of mind. The way Bai Ye looked at Luo Zhiyi was so familiar to them, it was the way a father looked at his mother. Luo Zhiyi was handed over to Bai Ye, and they were very relieved.

On this day, when Bai Ye sent Luo Zhiyi, who was extremely tired and sleeping on his back, back to his room, he saw Zhou Yan waiting outside the bedroom, hesitating to speak, with an anxious expression on his face.

After gently letting go of Luo Zhiyi, Bai Ye quietly closed the door and walked to the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Zhou Yan handed over an envelope with both hands: "Master, the emperor's secret decree."

Bai Ye showed a dignified expression on his face. After reading the letter, he frowned even tighter. After a while, he ordered: "Get ready to go back to Beijing."

......

Twenty days later, Bai Ye and Luo Zhiyi returned to the capital, and before they had time to rest, Bai Ye was recruited into the palace by the emperor, and before leaving, he asked Tuo Luo Zhiyi to rest well.

In Hanmoxuan's courtyard, Jin He hugged Luo Zhiyi tightly, and didn't let go for a long time: "Miss, you scared Jin He to death."

"Aren't I coming back?"

"You still said, look at your own hands." Jin He said as he rolled up Luo Zhiyi's sleeves, revealing the terrible scar on his forearm, with tears in his eyes, full of distress: "You look so Daddy, when did you suffer so much!" Jin He burst into tears as she spoke.

"Okay, Jin He, thank God for coming back alive." Luo Zhiyi gently comforted her little maid, feeling warm in her heart.

"Oh, look, I forgot." Only then did Jin He let go of Luo Zhiyi, helped her to sit on the bed, and then started running around.

Luo Zhiyi looked at her busy figure with a smile, and felt at ease: "I'm finally back." There was a bit of regret in that tone but also a bit of relief. The month in Dongsancheng was the happiest time since she married Bai Ye. In Yue, there is no government affairs, no other women, just her and Bai Ye, living the simplest and most ordinary married life.

......

In the Royal Study Room of the Dayue Palace, the Emperor retreated to the left and right, and had a private conversation with Bai Ye alone in the room.

"Brother Huang, they really know how to do it." Bai Ye sat opposite the emperor with a solemn expression, looked at the information in his hand, and asked in disbelief.

"Recently, their contact has become more and more frequent, and there are more and more small movements in their hands. It is estimated that they are going to do it." The emperor also looked solemn: "After you left, the fifth child has been keeping his own place on the surface, and has not made any movements. However, the more he doesn't move, the more I think there is a problem, but I haven't thought about where the problem is yet."

"The reason why he didn't move is because he is not sure yet." Speaking of the fifth elder brother, Bai Ye felt scornful in his heart: "If my guess is correct, he was the one who lured wolves into our house when Zi Sang invaded Da Viet and occupied the third east city. Transfer me away from the capital, once Jinyu in Dongsancheng succeeds in dragging or killing me, then he will do it immediately on the capital side. Unfortunately, Jinyu didn't succeed, so he has been standing still, his cautious attitude A person will not move without complete certainty."

"Do you have evidence that Zisang's invasion is related to him?" The emperor was very resentful for this kind of behavior of luring wolves into the house. No matter how much his brothers fight, it is a family matter, but colluding with foreign countries is unforgivable.

Bai Ye shook his head: "His hands and feet are very clean, and he didn't leave any clues last time. This time, if Jinyu falls into my hands, he might ask something, but..."

"Could it be that we were thinking too much? He stayed in the capital right under our noses..." There was a cancer that hadn't been removed. If King Yongxi was also a cancer, when he removed one , the other is very likely to take the opportunity to attack.

"Since the fifth brother left his first child and wanted to stay in the capital, he must have a plan. He didn't show his feet. One is because he didn't act, and the other is that it may have been arranged before entering the capital. Everything." Bai Ye said firmly.

"I heard that the siblings will go back to their natal family to visit relatives tomorrow!" The emperor suddenly changed the subject.

"Well, I'll accompany her back tomorrow." Bai Ye said with a smile.

The emperor looked at Bai Ye's spring-like smile, his eyes gleamed coldly, and said in a low voice: "Ninth Brother, do you still remember what we first saw in Concubine Qing's wardrobe when you were six years old?"

Bai Ye was shocked all over, and looked up at the emperor in astonishment, with an unpredictable expression on his face: "Of course I remember, I won't dare to forget for a moment."

"Just remember, I hope you don't let me down, Brother Huang."

"My brother understands." Bai Ye lowered his head, "I will do everything well tomorrow."

"Wan Ping has entered the palace, are you waiting to see you? In the past few months since you left, she has been whispering about you in my ear every day?" The emperor smiled kindly, and only when he was alone with Bai Ye , the emperor will be like a brother instead of an emperor.

.......

Luo Zhiyi was woken up by the noise outside early in the morning. Seeing that it was still early in the morning, he felt depressed. Bai Ye didn't return all night last night, so he couldn't help feeling sorry for his body, and he muttered and complained: "The emperor is really Yes, he even said that he was closest to Bai Ye, but he didn't know how to take care of his health at all, so he went to work as soon as he came back, are the other officials just a display?"

"My lady, what you said is disrespectful!" Suddenly, a voice rang out from the door, but it was Bai Ye standing there in normal clothes, looking at her with a smile.

"Husband, you are back." Luo Zhiyi happily stepped forward and threw herself into Bai Ye's arms, rubbing affectionately on his neck.

"Why do you look like a puppy." Bai Ye said and picked her up: "It's cold, take care of yourself." He wrapped her in the quilt, tapped her nose, and said, "Get up, today Do you want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Luo Zhi advised Bai Ye to get her clothes, and asked, "When did you come back?"

"I've been back a long time ago. When I came back, I saw someone sleeping like a pig." Bai Ye smiled and picked up her clothes, stripped her out of the quilt, and began to dress her one by one.

"If I'm a little pig, then what are you?" Luo Zhiyi put his arms around Bai Ye's neck in a good mood and asked with a smile.

"You!" Bai Ye reluctantly lowered his head to kiss her lips, tightened his arms, and embed her in his arms.
