Jiaochu

Ye Lanchen asked Yanjiang for his opinion. Yanjiang felt that there must be something fishy in it, otherwise Qiu Yu would not have asked the Longying Guard to send back this secret report as quickly as possible. If there was any problem with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he still had to send someone over to find out. .

If the Eastern Zhou Dynasty really switched people over, there might be a bigger conspiracy brewing behind it.

Ye Lanchen turned his attention to Yan Fei and was about to send Yan Fei to find out the truth. Yan Jiang boldly made a suggestion and let the third princess Ye Lingxi go. Yan Fei looked surprised when he heard this and said that he would go alone. That's fine, I don't want Ye Lingxi to take risks.

Yanjiang boldly stated the reasons again. First, as the princess of Ye Lingxi, he could live in the palace, which would make it easier to find out what was true. Second, he could bring several old people from the palace who were familiar with the eldest princess to make it easier to distinguish the true from the false. In addition, the most important thing was that The important point is that Ye Lingxi just injured his eye, so he only needs to write a letter from Xiu, saying that Ye Lingxi's eye disease has not been cured, and the imperial doctor is helpless, but the high priest in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is very capable, and he must have a way to cure such difficult and complicated diseases.

After explaining the reasons, Yanjiang assured, "Your Majesty, don't worry, with Fei'er following, the princess will definitely not lose a hair, and the ministers will also select the best elites from the Long Shadow Guard to accompany them to ensure nothing goes wrong. "

Ye Lanchen thought for a moment and let the two of them go down first.

After coming out of the imperial study, Yanjiang asked Yanfei to go back and prepare his luggage. He was expected to set off in the next two days.

In the afternoon, Eunuch De went to Changxin Palace to bring Ye Lingxi over. On the way, Eunuch De asked her if she was still used to living there. He mentioned that the eldest princess of Duanyang was married from Changxin Palace. Recalling the past, Eunuch De said with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, the eldest princess has been married for more than ten years. I don’t know if life is good there. Now the princess has grown up and is about to get married. When the third highness also gets married, the only remaining princes and princesses in the palace will be the young highness." She said, "From now on, the four highnesses will get married. I can help you take more care of me, brother." Eunuch De promised, "Don't worry, princess, I will definitely take good care of your little highness."

When she saw her father again, Ye Lingxi couldn't recognize her. Her father had really lost weight, and his expression didn't look good, as if he was covered with a shadow. If her father knew it was her, The one who brought the wine would get angry and scold her, or kick her out of the palace and treat her as a daughter. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet her father's eyes. She looked a little embarrassed, and then heard Her father asked in a gentle tone, "Is the injury healed?" She felt warm in her heart, nodded her head, raised her head, stopped talking, paused, and asked, "Has your father eaten? "Then when she heard that her father asked Eunuch De to pass on the meal, Eunuch De happily left and asked Xiao Anzi to go to the imperial dining room to say something.

During the meal, Ye Lanchen told Ye Lingxi a few words, asking her to pay attention to her health and not to be reckless in the future. She nodded and wrote them down. Then Ye Lanchen talked about the secret report sent from Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Ye Lingxi also heard this. Ye Lanchen looked surprised. Before Ye Lanchen mentioned Yanjiang's bold proposal, she took the initiative to invite him. The reason she gave was the same as Yanjiang's, but she didn't expect her eyesight problem. She also added that she was young and couldn't do it. I have never met her eldest sister, so Dongzhou people should relax their vigilance against her and not be too guarded against her.

Ye Lanchen still had to think about it again. If there was really a problem in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and they could do things like switching people around, this trip would be full of crises, and it would be like going into a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

After dinner the next day, Eunuch De came to Changxin Palace again and took Ye Lingxi to the royal study.

Ye Lanchen gave her a detailed explanation and told her to be careful, ensure her own safety, and never act rashly.

After the morning meeting the next day, Ye Lanchen summoned Yan Jiang, Yan Fei and Su Shi alone. Yan Jiang gave Yan Fei and Su Shi a detailed introduction to the court situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Su Shi served as the etiquette officer for this envoy. Fei served as the escort for this mission and accompanied Ye Lingxi to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Yanjiang selected a group of elites from the Long Shadow Guards to accompany them.

Xiao Anzi volunteered to go with Ye Lingxi. Eunuch De said that Xiao Anzi was smart and diligent and should be able to help. Ye Lanchen thought about it and decided. Eunuch De led Ye Lingxi to say goodbye to the queen first, saying that the emperor was thinking about the eldest princess and specially asked Ye Lingxi, the third princess, to visit her, and asked Aunt Qiu to go with her. The queen was surprised and happy when she heard the news. She left Ye Lingxi to talk for a long time. After dinner, she asked Aunt Qiu to take someone to deliver the prepared gifts to Changxin Palace. However, Ye Lingxi was not there, but at Concubine Lan's place. The mother and daughter talked for most of the night, with Concubine Lan giving a lot of advice and Ye Lingxi also comforting her a lot.

The mission set out early the next morning.

Ye Qingran and Ye Xingye also came to see them off. Ye Qingran said a few more words. Ye Lingxi nodded and took notes. Ye Xingye's eyes were red, and he insisted that they were blown by the wind.

To the outside world, the third princess, Ye Lingxi, was on an envoy to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to visit Princess Duanyang, and the secret message sent to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was to treat eye diseases.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, the mission kept a low profile this time. The people in the city saw the carriage and horses leaving the city, but they did not know that the third princess, Ye Lingxi, was sitting in the carriage.

Ye Xingye walked all the way to the city gate. Ye Lingxi asked him to go back, and he followed him out of the city a few miles away. After Ye Lingxi's repeated persuasion, he switched to watching him off. After the carriage and horses disappeared from sight, he stopped for a while, then turned the horse's head and returned. On the road, he saw a man galloping towards him. When he passed him, he turned his head and pointed the back of his head at the person, as if he didn't want him to let him go. Seeing the face, Ye Xingye looked back and felt that the back was a bit familiar. Before he could recognize who it was, the person and the horse had already disappeared into the dust.

When he returned to the city, he was stopped again. Shen Ning invited him to have a drink with him. Ye Xingye wanted to agree, but was afraid that his father would say that he was idle and not doing serious work, so he said he would drink next time and go to the military camp. Went there.

In the evening, the carriages and horses stopped and camped on the spot. By the time the bonfire was lit in the camp, it was already getting dark.

Yanfei patrolled around the camp. When he came back, he saw the people in the tent walking slowly. The shadows reflected on the tent stretched out their hands to find the direction, as if they really couldn't see. He stopped and watched for a while, heard a noise, and saw the shadow on the tent bending down, as if it had been bumped. He immediately walked over, stood at the door of the tent and asked, "Is the princess okay?" The person inside replied, " fine."

Then, Ling Ding came over and opened the curtain. Yan Fei couldn't help but raise his gaze and glance inside, then quickly looked away.

Ye Lingxi tied a gauze ribbon around her eyes, and the light seemed to flow when reflected in the lights, making her eyes more transparent and beautiful.

Then, Xiao Anzi came over, holding dinner in his hand, including three dishes and one soup, including meat and vegetables. Although it couldn't be compared with what was served in the palace, it was pretty good to be able to eat exquisitely presented dishes in the wild.

After Xiao Anzi went in and put down the dinner, he came out and told Yanfei that he had cooked noodles and asked him to come over to eat. Yanfei said that he could just eat dry food. Lingdang heard that there were noodles and said he wanted to eat them. Ye Lingxi asked Hehe and Lingdang to eat them. Let’s go eat first.
