Jiaochu

Chapter 111 Birthday Celebrations Upstairs ([-])
When the light went down, the orange sunset hung low on the mountains like salted egg yolk. The group entered the city against the people who were leaving the city, and the autumn wind swept by and added some coolness.

Yan Fei closed his arms a little, leaned forward slightly to protect Ye Lingxi more tightly, and covered Ye Lingxi with his cloak. Such carefulness and thoughtfulness made Ye Xingye, the elder brother, feel a little ashamed.

A figure came over and stopped in front of Ta Xue. Yan Feile frowned slightly when he stopped.When she saw the person coming clearly, Ye Lingxi was slightly startled. She looked at the carriage in front of her again. Her mood was a bit complicated. She didn't know what kind of masochistic mentality her second brother had in insisting on waiting for her to go back together.

"Isn't this Dong Mo? The second brother is here too?" After Ye Xingye recognized Dong Mo, he looked around for the figure of his second brother. Finally, his eyes were locked on a carriage not far ahead. I swallowed my throat nervously, but I still felt an invisible pressure from a distance of three to five meters.

Dong Mo saluted Ye Xingye again and said, "His Royal Highness's carriage is in front, so I won't bother Young Master Yan to take the princess back."

"Second brother, won't you be waiting here all the time?" Ye Lingxi felt that her mood was a bit complicated when she asked this question.

Dong Mo replied: "Your Highness was going back to the palace, but you couldn't worry about the princess, so the princess was angry with you. Your Highness didn't even eat at noon."

Ye Lingxi: "..." Are you so angry that you can't even eat?
Dong Mo took a few steps forward, preparing to help Ye Lingxi down. Yan Fei dismounted first and carried Ye Lingxi down. Dong Mo picked up the cloak and gave it back to Yan Fei without leaving a trace. Then he bowed to everyone and left with Ye Lingxi. .

"Wait." Ye Xingye quickly dismounted and chased after him. He turned around and waved goodbye and shouted, "I'll go back together too." Dong Mo paused and waited for Ye Xingye to come over, and then the three of them went to the carriage together.

After that, Hu Yuhan said goodbye to Su Shi and Yan Fei, and took Hu Qian'er back home. Yan Fei and Su Shi also rode into the thin dusk.

In the carriage, Ye Xingye and Ye Lingxi communicated with each other with their eyes. They both figured that Ye Lingjue was in a bad mood, so it would be better not to speak.

Ye Xingye: Lingxi, how about you say a few nice words to coax my second brother?
Ye Lingxi: Third brother, it’s up to you.

Ye Xingye: I'm afraid that my second brother will throw me out.

Ye Lingxi: Aren't you afraid of throwing me out?

Ye Xingye: You are young and my second brother can’t do anything.

Ye Lingxi:...

Ye Lingjue glanced at the two of them, and their eye contact stopped abruptly.

There was no words all the way, and the carriage quietly drove into the palace gate.

Ye Xingye asked Dong Mo to stop, smiled dryly and told Ye Lingjue that he had something to do. Ye Lingjue didn't say anything, and he quickly slipped out of the carriage.

When there were only two people left in the carriage, Ye Lingxi simply buried her head in looking at the tips of her shoes.

Twilight filtered through the car window, and the light and shadow changed erratically. Half of Ye Lingjue's profile was shrouded in the changing light and shadow, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. "Don't have anything to say?" Ye Lingjue asked calmly.

Hearing this, Ye Lingxi wanted her to explain. Forget it. In the future, we will never see each other again. It is better not to make the relationship too tense. "Second brother, you are very hungry. Go back and eat first." After that, She secretly glanced at Ye Lingjue's expression, and just in time to meet those eyes as quiet as a deep pool, she lowered her head to look at the tips of her shoes.

Hearing a soft sigh, Ye Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Lingjue said, "You don't have to be afraid of me." His voice was a little helpless and tired, and he didn't know whether he was hungry or angry. Ye Lingxi snorted out of nowhere, and the next moment I felt a little awkward, but I couldn't put my finger on it. In short, this conversation with no continuity was a bit strange.

The next day, Ye Xingye came over again and revealed a piece of gossip to Ye Lingxi. This piece of gossip was told to him by Hu Yuhan yesterday, and it was difficult for him to tell it because Yan Fei was present.

Mrs. Sun's younger brother Feng Ren was sentenced to exile in the autumn, but he died on the road a few days after being exiled. Mrs. Sun became ill after hearing the news, and she heard that people were dying.

"Is it an accident or...?" Ye Lingxi did not say further, but the meaning was already clear.

Ye Xingye whispered: "I heard that someone was..." He didn't say anything further, but the meaning was already very clear, "This Feng Ren is not a good person. He is probably seeking revenge from his enemies." He is afraid of these things. To frighten Ye Lingxi, he changed the topic and talked about the green chrysanthemums he saw in the imperial garden, and asked Ye Lingxi if he wanted to see them. Ye Lingxi had already seen them yesterday, and did not want to dampen the enthusiasm of her third brother, so he went with them. .

Two days later, Madam Sun, holding on to her sick body, came to visit General Yan. She recounted the past of her late husband's battle with General Yan on the battlefield. She said that she was afraid that she would not be well, but she could not worry about her daughter. She couldn't help but feel sad. After shedding tears, General Yan immediately decided to marry Yan Jiang and the eldest daughter of the Sun family.

Two days later, the news that Yanjiang was kicked out of the house by Old General Yan made a lot of noise. Ye Lingxi also heard about it in the palace, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Did she really get to this point? Anyway, she can withstand it. Only through hardships can we survive for a long time. Thinking that Xi Niang would leave without saying goodbye in the end, Ye Lingxi sighed again, thinking about whether to give her uncle a warning, but she was afraid that it would be self-defeating. Anyway, there were still several years left, so let's wait for the opportunity.

The day after Yan Jiang was kicked out of the house by General Yan, Qin Min invited Sun Wu for a drink. He said that his brother was not worth it, saying that his brother worked hard for the Yan family, and in the end, the marriage of his children did not count. His sister-in-law was overjoyed and became even more seriously ill. Sun Wu was originally depressed, but was stimulated by Qin Min's words and became even more depressed. However, he had no intention of joining Qin Min's camp. After drinking a few bowls of boring wine, he prepared to leave. However, Qin Min's next words made his expression change drastically and he froze in place.

"My brother did not die at the hands of the enemy.

Sun Wu was startled for a moment, and the next moment he said coldly and calmly: "Then who killed my brother."

Qin Min poured a bowl of wine and put it on the opposite side, saying: "Yanhai sent your brother to report the news, and he was attacked by the enemy the night before he met the army led by Yan Cheng. Don't you think it's too coincidental."

Sun Wu Leng said nothing with a sullen face.

"Actually, someone met Brother Ling that night. He killed everyone and disguised the bodies as if they were attacked." Qin Yin said.

"Who is it?" Blue veins popped out on Sun Wu's clenched fists, and the anger accumulated in his heart almost reached his throat.

Qin Min poured himself a bowl of wine, "The army is marching, and you should know who is walking at the front. But that day, Yan Cheng personally led a group of scouts to explore the front, and in the end he was the only one who came back. .”
