Jiaochu

Chapter 503 Messenger

Just as Yuan Luo left, someone else came.

"Princess, the Third Highness is here."

Ling Dang led Ye Xingye in and reported. The person following behind him on the path was holding large and small boxes of things in his hands. He could barely see his head. There were pills for internal use, ointments for external application, and various supplements.

Hehe and Lingdang took the things and put them on the table, then Xiaoluzi showed his head and saluted Ye Lingxi. They hadn't seen each other for several months, and they greeted him eagerly. Ye Xingye thought he was a bit verbose, so he waited for Xiaoluzi to say hello. After finishing, he immediately put the brocade box in his hand in front of Ye Lingxi, told her that it was a good thing, and opened the brocade box, which contained a ginseng plant.

Ye Lingxi complimented her and said that it was indeed a good thing. Ye Xingye asked her to take a closer look at the difference of this ginseng. She squinted and took a closer look. With her eyes, she could see noses and eyes clearly when looking at people in the room during the day. If It was a bit difficult to see clearly the pockmarks on her face. After looking at it for a while, she vaguely saw that the color of the ginseng was a bit purplish. Before she could say anything, Ye Xingye couldn't wait to tell her that this was purple ginseng, which was more beautiful than ginseng. good.

Ye Lingxi remembered an old incident and asked where such a good thing came from. Ye Xingye said that he bought it from the imperial hospital, but the imperial doctor did not want his money. He also asked Xiao Luzi what the imperial doctor's name was, Xiao Luzi. Luzi replied that his name was Wen Ji.

The other party wanted to give this purple ginseng to her before, but Ye Lingxi confiscated it. Unexpectedly, after going around and borrowing the hand of her third brother, she gave it to her. After a change of thought, she asked Hehe Lingdang Xiaoluzi and the others to go down first. On the same night, Xingye Speak alone.

She asked him if he believed in Yan Fei, and Ye Xingye said angrily, "Someone must have framed him, and the Xiyan spies are all nonsense!" Ye Lingxi agreed deeply, and went through his analysis, feeling that Qin Min was suspicious. It was he who took the initiative and insisted that the uncle and nephew were the murderers and had defected to Xiyan. He must have known some inside information. Ye Xingye felt that it was reasonable, so he turned around and asked people to keep an eye on each other. Ye Lingxi repeatedly told him to be careful and never act alone. If If you notice something unusual, tell Commander Wu first, don't act like a hero and follow him alone.

Ye Xingye felt that he was being treated as a foolhardy man, and he was a little unconvinced, but facing that serious face, he did not dare to protest. Then he thought about it, this was also because he was concerned about himself and feared that something might happen to him. Promise again and again that you will be careful and not act recklessly.

After discussing some other things, Ye Xingye remembered something. When he came here, he ran into Yuan Luo and asked him what he was doing. Ye Lingxi said that the Imperial City Division had surrounded the General's Mansion, so she called people over to ask what happened. thing.

Ye Xingye still wanted to hide this matter from her because he didn't want her to worry. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't hide it. He comforted her, "It will be fine once we find out the matter." Then he sighed melancholy, "I don't know what this prince is like. When he wakes up, he must have seen the assassin. As long as he speaks clearly to his father, the suspicion between the two will naturally be cleared. "

It seemed that her third brother didn't know that he was awake yet. Ye Lingxi thought for a while and whispered to others that he was awake and had seen his father. Ye Xingye was shocked. She shushed him and asked him to keep it secret. He asked in a low voice who he was. When did she wake up? Ye Lingxi said she woke up this morning and asked him to come over tomorrow morning. Ye Xingye told her to take good care of her injuries and stop impulsively contradicting her father.

After talking for a while, Hehe and Lingdang sent Ye Xingye and Xiaoluzi away.

In the evening, Ye Lingxi stood by the window, not planning to see Murong Ze. Tomorrow morning, if her father wanted to question the General's Mansion, she would go to him to make him fulfill his previous promise.

The next morning, an envoy from the northern border caused a stir among the civil and military officials.

The envoy came to receive the body of King Zhenbei on the orders of Murong Min, Princess Beining, and requested that the murderer be escorted to the north within seven days.

...After going to court, Ye Xingye couldn't wait to go to Changxin Palace to report the news, but was stopped by Eunuch De again. Ye Qingran and Prime Minister Su were also stopped, and the three of them followed Eunuch De to the imperial study.

Ye Lanchen asked the three of them what they thought. Ye Qingran took the initiative to ask Ying to escort the body of King Zhenbei back to the north to appease Murong Min and the soldiers in the north. Ye Xingye proposed to send Murong Ze back together. When the siblings meet, they will definitely turn their hostility into friendship. , Ye Qingran said, "The third brother doesn't know something. The prince and the princess have had a rift for a long time. Now that the princess has given birth to a son, I'm afraid she won't let the prince go back easily."

Murong Min was already pregnant when she returned to the north from the capital. When Ye Lingxi returned from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, she gave birth to a son, named Murong Cho.

Ye Qingran's last two words made Ye Xingye confused. Why couldn't the elder sister let her younger brother go back after giving birth? Could it be that there were some taboos in the northern border, and he didn't expect to inherit the title at all.

Prime Minister Su proposed a strategy and immediately asked Murong Ze to seize the throne in order to stabilize the northern territory.

Ye Xingye thought this was a good idea, so he blurted out that if the old thing doesn't go away, the new thing won't come in. Ye Lanchen scolded him with his eyes and asked him to retreat first.

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, he hurriedly went to report the news but was stopped by Xiao Anzi. He exchanged a few hurried greetings and ran away. He ran all the way to Changxin Palace without even taking a sip of tea. He first told the story about the Northern Envoy. After drinking two more cups of tea, she repeated what Ye Qingran said in the imperial study, wanting to discuss with Ye Lingxi what it meant. Only then did she realize that Murong Min was a mother.

Ye Xingye was minding his own speculation about the strange customs in the North. She was silent in thought, and listened to Ye Xingye saying that the envoy from the North requested that the murderer be escorted to the North within seven days. She asked, "What did your father say?" ?" Ye Xingye said, "My father's face turned dark. He said he would find out the real culprit as soon as possible and asked the envoy to retreat first." He then said angrily, "Qin Min is really guilty of insisting that my father punish the general's palace. Damn it, Zheng Mian is also making noises." He banged the table again, "If the North dares to rebel, I will ask my father to lead troops to put down the rebellion. If we can't win the battle, my name will be written backwards. !”

Three days later, Ye Lanchen issued an order for Murongze to inherit the title and take over the northern territory as the new King of Zhenbei.

News spread back to the north, but it turned out that Murong Ze had been killed by an assassin at the king's ceremony. The Xuanyi army was excited and vowed to avenge the king of Zhenbei and the crown prince. Under the leadership of Xu Yi and Cao Hong, they marched northward until Force the capital.

These two people were the right-hand men of King Zhenbei. They were quite prestigious in the Xuanyi Army and were loyal to King Zhenbei. When they learned that King Zhenbei had been assassinated, they were extremely sad and angry. They heard that the murderer was an uncle and nephew of the Yan family. She was about to go to the capital to kill someone to pay for her life, but was stopped by Murong Min. She said that Long Yingwei always only acted under the emperor's orders, but the capital said that the whereabouts of the two were unknown, which was obviously intended to cover up. If the two went there rashly, they would not be able to seek revenge. Hui Gongdao might even be taken hostage, implying that the assassin was most likely instigated by the emperor. She first sent people to the capital to explore the truth. The two of them believed her words and stayed in the north to wait for the response from the capital.

What happened was that Murong Ze was also killed by the assassin.

Murong Min said that the capital city wanted to seize the opportunity to take back the military power in the north and eradicate the root cause. She entrusted her infant son to the two of them and decided to go to the capital city alone to await their fate. The two people absolutely refused to agree. After some discussion, they decided to stay. Twenty thousand Xuanyi troops guarded the northern border, and the remaining thirty thousand Xuanyi troops headed to the capital. If the capital did not hand over the murderer, they would have to avenge the father and son even if they risked the injustice of the world and suffered eternal infamy.

Thirty thousand troops marched day and night and arrived in Yuzhou in just two days. They were less than a hundred miles away from the capital. They were intercepted by Commander Wu. Xu Yi and Cao Hong asked Commander Wu for the bodies of the father and son and the murderers of the uncle and nephew of the Yan family. Commander Wu said that Murong Ze was still alive, but the two of them didn't believe it. Commander Wu asked the two of them to go to the palace with him to find out immediately. The two thought it was a trap and felt that the other party wanted to trick them into coming to the palace to catch a turtle in a jar, so they asked Commander Wu to arrest him. send over.

Commander Wu sent someone back to report the news. The guard who reported the news came back and forth, working hard, and it still took him half a day. He came back to report that he had set off and was expected to arrive in the evening.
