Jiaochu

Chapter 155 Yangzhou Governor ([-])

"Big Brother, look, is that telepathy?"

Ye Xingye's cheerful and straightforward voice came from the door, like a refreshing wind passing through the bamboo shadows.Ye Lingxi stood up and walked over to greet her. Ye Qingran asked, "Does your foot still hurt?" She shook her head slightly embarrassed, and when she was about to change the subject, Ye Xingye asked again, "Lingxi, what's wrong with your foot?" , is it twisted?" She pointed to the sky and said, "Third brother, look, the moon is out~"

At this time, another figure walked in from outside the door, and then Meng Jingxiu's clear and bright voice came over, like a light bamboo dragonfly flying over the bamboo shadow.

"Sister Lingxi~" Meng Jingxiu urged while waving hello, "Brother, come here quickly, sister Lingxi is not an outsider."

Seeing Meng Tianlan also coming, the smile on Ye Xingye's face froze, and his expression looked a little unnatural, although it was not visible under the cover of the night.

After greeting each other, someone else came in from the door.

Jingzhe pushed Murongze in, followed by Hongxing.

Seeing the Northern Crown Prince sitting in a wheelchair, Ye Xingye's eyes widened in surprise and he blurted out, "What's wrong with your leg?"

"Didn't your three highnesses see it?" Murong Ze's casual tone revealed a trace of unpredictable sarcasm. His dark eyes glanced behind everyone, "The three highnesses have arrived. Mr. Xi Mu's face is It’s really big.”

Meng Jingxiu couldn't bear to hear the other party's weird words, so she took Ye Lingxi to watch chess. On the way, she quietly mentioned to Ye Lingxi that the governor of Yangzhou was poisoned, saying that the governor was dying and might not survive more than three days.

Ye Lingxi thought of the beggar and felt that his appearance was too strange.

While she was deep in thought, she was pulled by Meng Jingxiu to look at the bamboos planted in the yard, because the Princess of Anping discovered that the person playing chess with Ye Lingjue was Xiao Yun, and the two of them had been a little unhappy before.

After about a cup of tea, Dong Mo came over and said that the epiphyllum was about to bloom.

Under the quiet moonlight, the epiphyllum, which is as white as snow, opens up layer by layer, and the fragrant fragrance fills the quiet courtyard. The fragrance of flowers surrounds the shadows of bamboos, the moonlight shines through the blue waves, and the shadows of flowers, bamboos and moon interweave to create a dream-like scene.

Ye Lingxi was immersed in the beautiful scenery of flowers and didn't need to think about anything. Her thoughts were relaxed and light, until she was interrupted by a casual and frivolous voice.

"A flash in the pan is not a permanent thing after all. After tonight, it will be nothing more than a spent flower and a willow."

"I asked you why you are so disappointed. If you don't want to watch it, just don't watch it. No one is begging you to watch it. Also, can you stop being so unpleasant when you talk? It's like a ruined flower. If you don't want to watch it, just go back."

Murong Ze's dark gaze swept over, and Meng Jingxiu hid behind her eldest brother. He curled his lips and said, "I heard that Prince Meng left the palace yesterday, and Qiu Governor from Yangzhou also entered the city yesterday. How could it be such a coincidence? .”

"What do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be weird here." Meng Jingxiu said from behind her eldest brother.

"The Qing Dynasty will be Qing Dynasty. Why should the princess be angry?" Hongxing said.

Meng Jingxiu said: "Which of your eyes saw me getting angry? This princess never cares about villains."

"Second sister." Meng Tianlan stopped her. She met Murong Ze's dark gaze with her calm eyes and said, "It's just a coincidence. There's nothing worth saying." Murong Ze said, "Why did I hear that Mr. Qiu will return home at night?" He was poisoned when he arrived at the inn. Since Prince Meng has met Master Qiu, he may know something about the inside story."

"Brother Meng and Master Qiu haven't even spoken, so what can we know?" Ye Lingxi said, "If Brother Murong wants to know the inside story, he should ask the person who poisoned him. What can we know?"

Murong Ze said: "Princess, you should call me Prince. I can't afford to call you Brother Murong."

"Prince Murong," Ye Lingxi changed his title calmly, "How do you know Master Qiu is the poisoner who returned to the post house?"

Murong Ze asked back: "How does the princess know it's not true?"

"I don't know if it is or not. Only the person who poisoned it will know if it is or not." Ye Lingxi said.

Listening to these tongue-twisting words, Ye Xingye felt a little dizzy, "Stop talking about these weird things at night, let's look at the flowers." As soon as he finished speaking, he!The ground cried out, "Why has this flower started to wither?"

One after another, snow-white petals fell lightly from the branches, like snow, falling to the ground without making any sound.

In just a few seconds, only the bright yellow stamens of the epiphyllum, which were originally as bright as a white jade plate, were left, and then even the stamens fell off.

The stamens fall into the soil, triggering a strange fragrance.

Smelling this fragrance, Ye Lingxi felt a sense of sadness as if she had lived in another world for some reason. Tears filled her eyes unconsciously. She quickly turned her head and blinked, but with this blink, she squeezed out the golden bean. , she lowered her head and pretended to be looking for something, quickly wiped her face, then squatted down and reached out to grab a handful on the ground, as if she had really found something.When she stood up, a voice asked above her, "Did you find it?" She nodded and Ye Lingjue smiled faintly, "That's good, don't lose it next time." She clicked again. First, it felt like her second brother knew everything, so he cooperated with her in acting.Then, her third brother believed it and asked enthusiastically, "Lingxi, what were you looking for just now?" She replied, "I dropped my handkerchief and I have found it." Ye Xingye once again believed it.

After the strange fragrance dissipated, Xi Mu said: "This is a dream epiphyllum. It blooms for a shorter time than ordinary epiphyllums. When the weather is warm, it can bloom for as long as a cup of tea." At this point, he squatted down. The lower body picked up a few stamens that had fallen on the soil and said, "After the stamens of this flower fall to the ground, they will release a unique fragrance called Mengxiang. I heard that smelling this fragrance may remind you of your past." The past." He put the stamens into his sleeves and said with emotion, "The flowers have fallen, and it's time for people to disperse."

"Then I won't disturb you, sir." Ye Lingjue said.

After the group came out, Meng Jingxiu heard that Murong Ze wanted to invite her eldest brother over for a cup of tea. She immediately refused for her eldest brother, and then pulled her eldest brother away.

Seeing the two brothers and sisters leaving, Murong Ze curled his lips and said, "The princess seems to be very afraid of me."

It must be annoying, Ye Ling Xixin said.

"Lingxi, let me take you back." Ye Lingjue nodded to the others and said to Ye Lingxi, "Let's go."

Ye Xingye glanced at the dark night in front of him. He was still a little bit mentally disturbed by the last cry. When he saw his eldest brother leaving, he immediately followed him.

Xiao Yun and Murong Ze, the Northern Crown Prince, walked together for a while and then went in their respective directions.
