Jiaochu

Chapter 181 Birthday ([-])

Two days later, the Longying Guards escorted back a prisoner from Yangzhou. This person was an official under Qiu Yu and secretly colluded with the Danyang County Governor to obtain ill-gotten gains.

What Ye Lingxi said before made Commander Wu place the target of suspicion on Yangzhou. However, it was inconvenient for the Imperial Army to leave the imperial city, so the Long Shadow Guards went to investigate. In addition to finding out the clue about Madam Zi, they also found out Get rid of the worm that is the chief official.Before Wu Peng could close the net, Long Yingwei escorted the people back to the capital with great fanfare. Those vassal kings and Jiedu envoys who did not know the inside story thought that this official was the instigator behind the scenes. After another two days, After Qiu Yu's health improved a little, he went to the palace to express his gratitude.

Yelan Chenen allowed him to stay in the capital to recuperate, and the new Danyang County Sheriff in Yangzhou was temporarily taken over. This new Danyang County Sheriff was Chen Ping's father, the former Minister of Household Affairs.

The case has now come to an end.

After the storm subsided, the man appeared in front of Yanjiang again and took him to an abandoned dock. There was an inconspicuous awning boat hidden inside, and Wu Peng was inside.

During this meeting, the Dragon Shadow Guard was also in the cabin, looking as dull as last time, as if he had controlled his mind.

After chatting for about a cup of tea in the cabin, Yanjiang got off the boat, and the man rowed away with a bamboo pole.

Three or five days later, the vassal kings and Jiedu envoys who came to see him left Beijing one after another.

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and green, and two or three peach blossoms are in bloom.

Ye Lingjue, the second prince, personally sent Prince Pingnan and his family away from the capital. This was also Ye Lanchen's wish. Ye Lingxi came with him, chatting with Meng Jingxiu about the girl's family.

"Second sister, it's time to go." Meng Tianlan reminded, and Meng Jingxiu reluctantly waved goodbye to Ye Lingxi. After getting on the carriage, she stuck her head out of the window and waved, and Ye Lingxi followed suit. The carriage trotted for a while, with He He, Ling Dang, and Dong Mo following behind to take care of them. This situation was like a pair of "poor mandarin ducks being torn apart alive." Behind them were one, two or three maids who wanted to pull the person back. Si.

After the majestic carriages and horses were a hundred meters away, Ye Lingxi was still standing there watching. Ye Lingjue came over at some point and said, "Every feast in the world must come to an end." Before he could finish his words, Being glared at by those big watery eyes, as if saying that he was disappointing, she turned away and left, her round back looking like an angry snow dumpling. Ye Lingjue chuckled and followed her calmly. , he waited until people got on the carriage before he got on.

After the carriage returned to the city, Ye Lingxi still turned to look at the scenery outside the window, looking at people with the back of her black head, as if she was still sulking, but she was thinking about another thing. When they said goodbye just now, King Pingnan seemed to be quite fond of her second brother. In order to appreciate her, and given King Pingnan's bold temperament, she thought that he would be more compatible with her third brother...

"Prince Murong will stay."

Ye Lingjue's words brought Ye Lingxi's attention back. She was a little surprised and said, "Won't he go back?" In her last life, she had never heard that the Northern Crown Prince would live in the palace...

"Prince Murong has a leg disease. The severe cold in the north is not conducive to recovery. In the past two years, it has become more and more difficult to walk. King Zhenbei mentioned this matter to his father. His father summoned Dr. Han to examine the prince. Dr. Han said that the prince He was born with cold syndrome and needed acupuncture and medicinal baths to slowly dispel the cold poison in his body, so his father asked the prince to stay and live in Liuli Garden." Ye Lingjue finished this long paragraph calmly.

Since it was diagnosed by Dr. Han, the symptoms cannot be faked, Ye Lingxi thought.The Northern Crown Prince rarely left Liuli Garden after he stayed. He would only go out for a walk when the sun was warm at noon. He lived a low-key life and did not cause any hot topics in the palace.

The prince seemed to like feeding fish. Ye Lingxi saw him two or three times by the koi pond. After his guard Jingzhe left in a wheelchair, she went over to take a look at the fat carp in the water.She likes to see the dark koi the most. Its scales are extraordinarily bright, even brighter than its brothers and sisters. Its tail is also particularly big. It swings like a swaying lotus in the water. She doesn't like to eat fish food. Normally, the dragon would never see its head or tail, so it was difficult to see it, but she had a secret weapon to summon it.

A golden candied date will make it appear.

The day before her birthday, Ye Lingxi hid behind the rockery and saw Murongze and Jingzhe leaving. Then she walked over with Hehe and Bell. After eating, the fat carp in the water hid elsewhere to laze around. .She bent over and looked at it, then untied her purse. The aroma of candied dates attracted the black koi carp from the bottom of the water. She took out a golden candied date from her purse, then squatted down and stretched out her hand toward the water. The koi jumped up, and the crystal water droplets reflected colorful light in the sun. When its graceful figure dived underwater again, the golden candied date placed in the palm of its hand disappeared.

Every time they see this black koi jumping out of the water to get candied dates, He He and Ling Dang find it incredible. They feel like the fish has become a spirit. After all, it is a bit... strange for a fish to be picky about food. …

When Ye Lingxi retracted her hand, the sound of applause suddenly came from behind her, neither light nor heavy, rang twice. She looked back and saw that the person who had left earlier had sneakily returned.

Hehe and Lingdang saluted Murongze, and Jingzhe also saluted Ye Lingxi. His face was as cold and stern as ever, except for the words "Keep strangers out" engraved on his face.

"Is that fish raised by the princess? It's interesting." Murong Ze said with a slight smile.

Ye Lingxi asked nonchalantly, "Do you like to eat fish?"

"I like feeding fish. Feeding fish is more interesting than eating fish. Are you relieved, princess?" Murong Ze said with a slight smile. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Ye Lingxi nodded and asked, "In addition to feeding fish, what else does Brother Murong like to do?"

"Killing for fun." Murong Ze said these three words lightly, watching the audience's reaction with a pair of dark eyes.

Hehe and Lingdang were both startled when they heard the word "kill". When they heard the word "play" again, they couldn't help but have a creepy feeling. Besides being insane, what kind of person would regard killing as play?
Ye Lingxi frowned. The other party's attitude of not caring about human life made her not want to stay for another second, so she left without saying hello, taking Hehe and Bell.

After walking far away, Lingdang asked quietly: "Princess, is what Prince Murong said just now true? He really likes it. That," Lingdang said the next three words hesitantly, "killing people?"

"Listen to him scaring children. This princess is not scared. Let's ignore him next time." Ye Lingxi stopped and kicked her toes, as if to kick away the bad mood.
