Jiaochu

By the time the carriage stopped at the entrance of Tianyue Inn, it was already getting dark.

After entering, Yaoyao walked downstairs and led Ye Lingxi and Su Shi to a guest room upstairs, as if she had known they would come.

There is incense burning in the room. It smells like sandalwood, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind.

There was a figure sitting behind the curtain. Eleven came over and opened the curtain, inviting Ye Lingxi and Su Shi to come in. Yan Miao sat behind the case, raised her hand to invite the two of them to sit down, and then asked Shi Yi to serve tea.

When the tea cup was placed in front of Ye Lingxi, she smelled a familiar scent, which was the scent of silver snow and purple lotus, which was the name given to her. She looked at the person sitting across from her again. Judging from her age, she didn't really need to keep her face. As if he noticed her gaze, Yan Miao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I have met the princess." He added, "I heard from the teacher that he had accepted another student, and I finally met him today."

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "Did the master ask you to come here?" Yan Miao smiled slightly and said noncommittally, "I heard that the princess is visiting the eldest princess. I am bold and want to give the princess a piece of advice." She said , "Sir, please speak."

"Climbing back from the brink."

She looked slightly surprised and asked, "Sir, do you know that this trip is dangerous?" Yan Miao asked, "A hundred years ago in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was a demon concubine who brought trouble to the government. Do you two know?"

Hearing the word "witch concubine", Ye Lingxi remembered the incident between Peach Blossom Lady and Puppet Silk. She didn't know if Su Shi knew the inside story, so she shook her head and Yan Miao said, "There are always evil spirits ready to move in the world. Only those with a firm mind can Talents will not be deceived by evil spirits." He glanced at Ye Lingxi and then at Su Shi, "The most important thing is to stick to your heart."

After leaving the inn, the two got on the carriage and prepared to go back to the restaurant. They met Huo Xuan on the way. He recognized that the driver was Long Yingwei, so he came over to say hello. Su Shi got out of the carriage to greet him, and Huo Xuan took another look. Inside the carriage, it was said that all the water bandits had been arrested, but after interrogation it was found that it was not this group of water bandits who did it.

Ye Lingxi was a little surprised when she heard the second half of the sentence. She thought the other party would blame the water bandit.

Huo Xuan said that Emperor Zhou sent someone to ask about the situation this afternoon. He said that Princess Ye Lingxi, the Dahui Princess, had just arrived and was not accustomed to the climate. She wanted to rest for a few days and sent him back. He asked Su Shi where he was going and if he wanted him to lead the way to avoid getting lost. Su Shi said that he was going back to the restaurant, so he escorted him all the way back. On the way, he talked about the customs and customs of Quanzhou City, as if he was specifically talking to the other people in the carriage. Listen alone.

The carriage entered through the back door of the restaurant. Huo Xuan stopped for a while and then rode away.

When they arrived at the door of the room, Ye Lingxi asked Su Shi to come in and tell him something. He originally planned to say it on the carriage, but he ran into Huo Xuan and was afraid that he would hear her. Xiao Anzi saw the two of them entering the room together, so he stopped disturbing them.

Ye Lingxi told Su Shi about Peach Blossom Lady and Puppet Silk, and Yan Miao's words also seemed to imply that there was witchcraft in the royal family. Only by sticking to one's heart can one not be confused and lost by the witchcraft. nature.

She guessed that the Peach Blossom Lady might have learned her sorcery from here, and that the Peach Blossom Lady also had another identity. She was Bai Wuchang, one of the four major arrests in Si Jingtai, and was related to the Jinyi Hou. Sometimes she even It feels like this person is not dead, hanging over the big emblem like a lingering ghost.

Su Shi analyzed that if there was someone in the royal family who really knew such magic, the assassin was most likely sent by the other party. From Huo Xuan's words and deeds and his conversation with Huo Xuan, he felt that the other party might not know about the assassin. However, whether An Qinghou knew about it is another matter. The other party did not succeed this time and made such a big noise. He should have some scruples and will not take any action for the time being, but he still needs to be careful.

After the two discussed it, when Su Shi was about to leave, Ye Lingxi was stunned by the silhouette turning around in the light. Those eyes seemed to see another person. She couldn't help but reach out and grab his clothes, and the next moment she After recovering from his trance, he immediately retracted his hand and said with an embarrassed look that it was getting late and asked him to rest early. Su Shi nodded lightly and asked her to rest early, and then left. She looked at her hands, wondering what had just happened. It was as if her consciousness had been controlled by something for a moment. She felt a little panicked, worried that if she continued like this, she would become another person. She shook her head vigorously. , No, she is Ye Lingxi, the third princess of Dahui, she is not some Ashue, no!

The next day, after Ye Lingxi visited Aunt Qiu, Hehe, Bell and Baike, she went back to her room to read, had lunch and dinner in the room, went out for a walk in the yard in the evening, and then returned to her room. rest.

Xiao Anzi brought the supper to Su Shi and said, "I see that the princess is bored staying here all day. Mr. Su, why don't you go out with the princess for a walk? The banquet guards are not here, and the princess doesn't even have anyone to talk to." Su Shi said that Yanfei would be back soon, with firmness in his gentle look. In addition, the assassin had not yet been found out, so it was not safe to go out, so Xiao Anzi said nothing more.

The next day, Hehe and Lingdang came to serve Ye Lingxi. They were both almost fine. Aunt Qiu still had a slight cough, and she should be fine after two more doses of medicine.

Bai Ke is also feeling better and can already get out of bed.

Two days later, when Bai Hu's complexion had almost recovered, Ye Lingxi gave him the scroll of bamboo slips. Seeing that he was so focused on the bamboo slips that he seemed to be forgetting to sleep and eat, she took the bamboo slips back and waited. Give it to him after he has fully recovered.

Two days later, Huo Xuan came to visit again, met Ye Lingxi, and asked her how her body was recovering and when she could set off. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, saying she had a headache and needed to rest for two more days.

"The banquet guard hasn't come back yet?"

Hearing this, Ye Lingxi asked, "Didn't the young marquis send someone to look for him? Doesn't the young marquis know whether he has returned or not?" Huo Xuan saw that the blame was on her head, so she apologized first, and then He explained, "I have sent people to search for several days, but no trace of the Yan Guards was found. I guess that the Yan Guards may have deliberately hidden themselves because they didn't want anyone to find them." As he said this, he secretly observed Ye Lingxi's reaction. She looked directly into his eyes and asked him to look at them openly. Huo Xuan looked away a little sarcastically, "I don't doubt the banquet guards, but the emperor has sent someone over to urge him. Otherwise, Princess Let's set off first. I'll ask someone to stay and continue to look for someone. If there is any news, tell the princess immediately." She said forcefully, "I said I have a headache and need to rest for two more days." Then asked Xiao Anzi to see the guests off, and Huo Xuan Then he left first.

On the way, Huo Xuan asked Xiao Anzi about the relationship between Ye Lingxi and Yan Fei, and gave Xiao Anzi a piece of gold as a reward. Xiao Anzi said that Ye Lingxi and Yan Fei went to school together in Shangshufang when they were young, and they had known each other since they were young.

Huo Xuan said, "I think you banquet guards treat the princess unusually."

Xiao Anzi said, "The princess has been smart since she was a child. She is a first-rate beauty. When she grows up, she will truly be like a fish and a duck. I dare to say that the princess is much prettier than Princess An Ning of Qi State. Many young masters from aristocratic families can only dream of it." Whoever wants to marry our princess will be lucky if he can marry her."

Huo Xuan smiled and said, "Princess An Ning is the most beautiful woman in the world. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to see her beauty."

Xiao Anzi said, "To be honest with you, young marquis, I have met that princess once before, and she is far worse than the princess."

Huo Xuan's expression changed, "Has Princess An Ning been to Dahui?"

Xiao Anzi casually made up a story, "During the Peony Banquet, Princess An Ning secretly came to the capital to play. She was really unruly and domineering. She even fell in love with Mr. Su and insisted on snatching him back to be the prince-in-law. The princess should be given to Mr. Su. We solved the problem and didn't let the other party succeed." Huo Xuanxin said that there was such a story in it, as if she believed Xiao Anzi's words.
