Jiaochu

Chapter 145 The King of Zhenbei ([-])
When Ye Xingye was worried about Commander Wu's arrival, Lingdang came out of the tent and said that one of the earrings worn by the princess was missing. It was probably accidentally knocked off when she was dodging just now.Hearing what Ling Dang said, Ye Xingye and Xiao Luzi also came to help search on the ground. In the end, the sharp-eyed Xiao Luzi found the pearl earring hanging on Ye Xingye's clothes, because Ye Xingye was wearing a silver-white brocade robe today, which was different from the previous one. Pearls have similar luster and are not easy to spot at first glance.

After Lingdang left with the pearl earring, Commander Wu came over a while later with a solemn look on his face.

"Is anyone injured?" Commander Wu's deep voice contained an unexplainable majesty, and the guard replied no.

Ye Xingye stood aside, not daring to say anything, and felt even more uneasy inside.

Commander Wu pondered for a moment, as if he would burst into anger the next moment. In this brief silence, Ye Xingye felt that the other party's majestic gaze was pressing on his skull like a boulder.

"Your Highness, stop taming falcons for now, and practice more riding and shooting."

Ye Xingye still wanted to fight for himself, but he lowered his head again under Commander Wu's majestic gaze, like a child who had done something wrong and had no confidence to speak.

"I am the one who came with you, it is none of your business." Meng Jingxiu came over and said.

Commander Wu saluted the young princess and Ye Lingxi and said, "The princess and the princess were frightened." His tone was businesslike and there was no room for favoritism.

Ye Xingye: "..." I was also frightened...
"Commander Wu, the third brother just rushed over to protect us without thinking about his own safety. He didn't flinch at all. He was very brave." Ye Lingxi emphasized the last four words with a strong tone. Ye Xingye blushed a little when he heard it.

Meng Jingxiu also nodded in affirmation, walked to the cage again and said, "Haifeng was just playing with us, he didn't really want to hurt anyone."

"Eagles are birds of prey and are ferocious by nature. They are not a joke." Commander Wu said seriously.

Meng Jingxiu said: "Haifeng hasn't grown up yet. He is still a little eagle. He is as naughty as a child. He must be taught patiently and slowly. When Gale grows into a big eagle, he will be very good and obedient."

This was the first time Ye Xingye heard such a strange and interesting statement, which seemed to have special magic power. He nodded unconsciously in agreement, and Ye Lingxi also nodded.

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Commander Wu remained unmoved and allowed the guards to take the eagle away. Then he bowed and left without any room for bargaining.

"This uncle definitely didn't marry a wife." Meng Jingxiu said.

Ye Xingye said in surprise: "How do you know?"

"If you marry a wife, you won't be able to change your temper." Meng Jingxiu said.

A string of greetings popped up in Ye Xingye's head. I wonder what the causal connection is between marrying a wife and changing your temper?Thinking about not being able to tame a falcon again, I couldn't help but look disappointed.

"Third brother, how about I go talk to my father? Commander Wu will definitely listen to his words." Ye Lingxi said.

Ye Xingye shook his head, looked at the horizon and sighed sadly, "If my mother and concubine find out about what happened today, I will definitely be punished to copy Buddhist scriptures again."

After dinner, this worry came true.

Concubine Rong not only punished Ye Xingye to copy Buddhist scriptures, but also punished him to read them while copying.

When Ye Lanchen came over, she heard the sound of chanting sutras before entering the palace. When she entered, she saw Ye Xingye kneeling behind the table, copying books and chanting sutras. He told Concubine Rong that it was cold at night and he should copy the sutras during the day. Concubine Rong asked Ye Xingye to read them again. Get up, let him go back to rest first, and come back tomorrow.

There was a lantern in front of the path to illuminate the path, and Ye Xingye yawned as he walked behind.

When passing a rockery, suddenly there was a sound of crying, sobbing, miserable, which seemed particularly weird in the cool night wind, and made people's scalp numb.Ye Xingye was so frightened that he lost all sleep. The lantern held by Xiao Luzi was also trembling. The light was shaking unsteadily, as if it would go out at any time.

"Your Highness... Your Highness... is someone crying?" Xiao Luzi asked tremblingly.

Ye Xingye said nervously: "You... heard it too?"

"You two, go over and have a look." Xiao Luzi bravely ordered the two young eunuchs to go and find out. The two young eunuchs slowly moved over and saw a weak firelight coming over. One of them was holding his breath. He dared to yell loudly, "Who is that person?"

The crying stopped immediately and the fire went out.

The two of them walked around and took a look, only to see a black shadow swooping past. They thought they had bumped into something unclean, so they ran back in fright.

Seeing the panic on their faces, Ye Xingye swore that he saw a shadow flying past. He was so frightened that Ye Xingye jumped forward and rushed forward, even Xiaoluzi couldn't catch up with him.

The light of the lantern flickered on and off, making the surrounding scenery more and more bizarre.

After running back to Ganquan Palace in one breath, Ye Xingye was still a little frightened. After drinking a cup of tea to calm down his shock, Xiao Luzi rushed back out of breath, carrying a lantern.

At the same time, a figure also ran back to Weiyang Palace in panic. Zhuer happened to come out of the palace and stopped with a shout. When the person came over, he found that it was Amber.

"What are you doing?" Pearl asked sharply.

Amber lowered her head and replied: "Today is the anniversary of my sister's death. I want to burn some paper money for her."

"Don't you only have a younger brother in your family? When did you get an older sister?" Pearl's tone became more stern.

Amber lowered her head and replied: "When I was young, my family was poor, so my mother gave away my sister. Later I found out that it was because my sister was seriously ill and the family had no money to treat her. My mother was afraid that my brother and I would be sick. , just sister." At this point, she bit her lip and said the last two words in a very soft voice, "lost." She paused and said, "I know I can't blame mother, the family was too busy at that time. We are poor, if my brother and I both get sick, there will be no one to take care of my mother in the future."

"You have been in the palace for a few years, so you should know the rules in the palace." Zhu Er said.

Amber nodded, "I will never dare to do it again."

"I won't be keeping vigil for you today, so you can go back to the house."

"Thank you sister."

After Amber returned to the house, Zhu'er thought for a moment and looked in the direction of Ye Lingxi's bedroom. She knew that Meng Jingxiu, the Princess of Anping, was also there, and it was not convenient to talk, so she planned to talk the next day.

After breakfast the next day, Meng Jingxiu slipped away, winking at Ye Lingxi before leaving, with a sly smile on her face, as if she was going to do a "bad thing" that had been planned for a long time.

After the others left, Zhuer told Ye Lingxi everything about last night.After hearing what happened to Sister Amber, she thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever had a fever before?"

After Zhuer carefully thought about it for a while, she replied: "It probably doesn't exist in my mind. Maybe I haven't noticed it yet."
