Chapter 194 Marriage Talisman ([-])
When Concubine Lan came out from behind the screen, Yu Guiren quickly begged her for mercy, saying that the Persian cat she had raised was stolen last night. He also said that the cat was usually very well-behaved and would never attack anyone. As I talked, I felt like pear blossoms and raining, and it was hard to cry, so I could only wipe my tears with a handkerchief while sobbing and crying.

At this time, a little maid in Yu Guiren's palace hurried over and said that the cat had been found. She said that the cat had run out and now came back.

Hearing that the cat had escaped, Yu Guiren was so worried that he almost fainted.

Soon, the fluffy Persian cat was brought in a cage by the guards. It had a pair of light green round eyes and looked very well-behaved and docile. It didn't cry or make trouble in the cage.

"Is it this cat?" Ye Lanchen asked Xiao Quanzi. Xiao Quanzi identified it carefully and felt that it was somewhat similar and somewhat different. When he heard the weird meow, he naturally thought that the whooshing sound was The black figure that jumped towards him was a cat, but looking at it under the bright light now, he couldn't be sure whether the thing was the Persian cat.

"Father, no." Ye Lingxi poked his little head out from behind the screen and said.

Eunuch De quickly walked over and said, "Princess, why are you here? Go back and lie down quickly. Don't catch a cold."

Ye Lingxi wrapped her body in a fluffy cloak and continued: "Father, that is not a cat."

"Did you see clearly?" Ye Lanchen asked in a gentle tone.

Ye Lingxi nodded, "Because it has no tail."

When Yu Guiren heard that there was no tail, he immediately turned from worry to joy. He quickly took the Persian cat out of the cage and showed the big fluffy and soft tail in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, look at how big its tail is. Even if I hold it in my arms, it won't move. It is very well-behaved and will definitely not attack anyone."

The queen said with an objective and fair attitude: "Your Majesty, this matter should have nothing to do with Mr. Yu."

Yu Guiren cast an extremely grateful look at the Queen.

"Lingxi, do you really see clearly? The Emperor and the Queen are both here, you don't have to be afraid." Concubine Xiao said understandingly.

Ye Lingxi held back Jin Doudou's lips with her little cherry mouth and said, "Lingxi really saw it clearly. It just doesn't have a tail, and Lingxi didn't lie."

"Father believes in Lingxi, go back and lie down quickly, otherwise father will be angry." Ye Lanchen said bluffingly.

Ye Lingxi immediately retracted her little head. As soon as she lay down on the bed, Concubine Lan walked over, sat down on the stool and said in a slightly angry tone: "Are you still pretending to be asleep to deceive your mother?"

"Lingxi really fell asleep, and then he seemed to hear someone crying. Lingxi thought it was his mother-in-law who was crying, and then he woke up."

Concubine Lan's eyes were still red, but they became even redder after hearing these words. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Ye Lingxi stretched out her soft little hand to wipe Concubine Lan's tears, "Concubine, don't cry, Lingxi is fine." Concubine Lan put her soft little hands back into the bed, and tucked the quilt in gently and carefully, "Go to sleep, my mother is right here, she is not going anywhere."

A soft humming sound sounded beside the bed, and Concubine Lan patted the quilt with her hands while humming softly, like a gentle lullaby whispering in her ears, and she soon fell into a real dreamland.

In the dream, there was the gentle smile of her mother and concubine, the warm sun, the fragrance of flowers, the gently swinging swing, the soft white clouds, the blue sky, and the gentle humming of her mother and concubine.
……

After the queen took Concubine Xiao, Concubine Rong, Concubine Liu and Concubine Yu to leave, Ye Lanchen took Commander Wu to the yard and asked what clues they had found. Commander Wu replied that after the guards' investigation, they found water damage along the way. Longing for the direction of Liuli Garden, he hesitated a little before and did not tell this clue in public.

Ye Lanchen pondered for a moment and said, "That thing doesn't have a tail. What could it be if it wasn't a cat?"

Commander Wu thought for a moment and said: "There are folk jugglers who will cut off the tail in order to train monkeys."

"Juggler..." Ye Lanchen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's check and see if anyone like this has entered the palace recently." "Yes." After Commander Wu handed over his hand, he hesitated slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, Do we need to send someone to Liuli Garden?"

Ye Lanchen thought about it and said, "No, don't let the news leak out for now."

"Yes." After Commander Wu left, Ye Lanchen stood quietly in the courtyard for a while, then went into the house to see the little girl, and asked Concubine Lan to take a rest. After coming out, she took Eunuch De to the direction of the imperial study. .

It wasn't until after the third watch that the lights in the imperial study were turned off.

The next day, Commander Wu reported to Ye Lanchen that no entertainers had performed in the palace in the past two months.

"In the past few days, patrols will be strengthened near Weiyang Palace, and an additional patrol of guards will be added at night. I don't want this to happen again."

"Yes."

On the other side, Ye Lingxi did not go to Shangshufang. Zhao Ce asked Ye Xingye about the situation. Ye Xingye said that he was feeling unwell and needed to rest for a few days, and did not mention falling into the water.

After Master Xu came over, Zhao Ce immediately slipped back to his seat.

During Master Xu's lecture in the morning, Yan Fei seemed a little depressed and looked a little sleepy, as if he stayed up late last night or didn't sleep well.During lunch, Su Shi asked him, and Yan Fei said it was okay. When Zhao Ce came over to inquire about Ye Lingxi's physical condition, those cold star-like eyes suddenly became clear and alert, as if the fog had been cleared away. Any drowsiness disappeared.

Ye Xingye insisted that he was feeling unwell, but he didn't say the specific cause. Zhao Ce became more and more suspicious, and finally he suspected that it was the marriage talisman that couldn't be hit with eight poles.

"That marriage charm is definitely not a good thing, and it will definitely be unlucky to wear it on your body."

Yan Fei asked: "What is the marriage talisman?"

Ye Xingye was eager to change the topic, so he told the story from the beginning to the end about meeting the Peach Blossom Lady in the peach blossom forest outside the city yesterday.

"How come this Peach Blossom Lady's marriage talisman is only for little girls? I also want to have good luck with my love life." Hu Yuhan sighed regretfully for herself.

"By the way, doesn't your cousin also have it? How is it? Is she okay?" Zhao Ce asked.

Hu Yuhan said: "I don't live in the Earl's Mansion, so how do I know if someone is okay? Why don't you, Prince, come with me after school?"

Zhao Ce didn’t say whether to go or not.

……

"Princess, you'd better go to bed and lie down. Be careful of catching a cold."

Ye Lingxi had only been sitting by the window for less than a quarter of an hour. The sun was still bright and warm outside, and Hehe began to feel sad, and his brows were almost squeezed together with worry.

Alas~, the little girl loves to worry too much. Ye Lingxi sighed silently and went back to bed.He He also turned from worry to joy, and his two sad little eyebrows also relaxed.
