Chapter 516 Answer
When he left, he casually planted the branch of red plum on the roadside. When he came, the wind and snow were raging, and when he left, the wind and snow became even stronger.

……

Later in the year, the vassal king's envoy came to Beijing. Murongze asked Xu Yi to go to Beijing to meet the saint. At the Jinluan Palace, Xu Yi announced to Ye Lanchen in front of all the civil and military officials that Ye Lingxi was pregnant and should not travel long distances. Murongze I was worried about leaving her alone in the north, so I stayed there, and came to apologize in person next time. Ye Lanchen did not blame him and asked how Ye Lingxi was doing. Xu Yi replied, "Thanks to the emperor, everything is well with the princess. The prince has found several famous chefs for the princess to come to the house. Whatever the princess wants to eat can be cooked freshly." Come out, I won’t be afraid of the emperor and the adults laughing when I say it. Even if the princess wants the moon in the sky, the prince will take it off. "

Su Shi was slightly absent-minded as he listened. He realized that he had lost his composure and restrained his emotions.

Fortunately, Zhao Ce gave the lie. If he heard these words, he would probably cause another commotion.

Ye Xingye had a surprised expression on his face and glanced around subconsciously, fearing that Yan Fei was nearby and would feel very sad if he heard it. In addition, the impression Murong Ze left on him was not very good before, and it was even worse now.

……

The news spread quickly. After Su Yu heard the news in the house, she was so angry that the banquet was not worth it. She thought that Ye Lingxi was a playboy. When she saw someone who loved someone, she wanted to rush to the north and point her nose at her. It took a while to relieve my anger.

Luo Jinxiu is still living in her parents' home and has not returned to Qingzhou. When she first heard the news that Ye Lingxi was going to marry Murong Ze, she was a little gloating. Now that she heard that she was pregnant, she felt even happier, as if she had experienced the same thing back then. He said that he didn't think much about Yan Fei. After he was overjoyed, he felt a little annoyed. Why did she get pregnant before him? It seemed like he had lost again.

On Concubine Lan's birthday, a letter and congratulatory gifts were sent to the capital from the north.

The next year, Murong Ze went to Beijing to announce the good news that Ye Lingxi had given birth to Lin'er. He also met with Ye Lanchen alone and said that Ye Lingxi had a difficult birth and needed to be nursed back to health. Ye Lanchen wanted to send Dr. Han over to take a look. Murong Ze said that he was no longer seriously injured, but he needed to rest for a year or two to regain his strength. Ye Lanchen told him to take a good rest and go to the Tai Hospital if he needed any supplements or medicines. Take it over there. Murong Ze expressed gratitude to Ye Lingxi.

Years ago, Princess Pingnan was ill. King Pingnan was worried about leaving and asked Meng Tianlan to go on his behalf. Ye Yuyao wanted to stay and take care of her. Princess Pingnan knew that she missed her mother very much, so she asked her to go with Meng Tianlan. In the capital, Ye Yuyao gave her some instructions alone, and Ye Yuyao wrote them down one by one.

Ever since Meng Jingxiu heard the news about Ye Lingxi and Murong Ze's wedding, she had always felt depressed and became less confident about her and Ye Xingye's future. Then she heard the news that Ye Lingxi was pregnant, and her mood became even more intense. Bored.

How could such a transparent and exquisite person as Princess Pingnan know her daughter's thoughts? She came to Meng Jingxiu alone and asked her if she still recognized the Third Highness in her heart and would not change.

Meng Jingxiu said she didn't know, saying that sister Lingxi didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order and marry someone she didn't like. What could she do, and what could Ye Xingye do. Princess Pingnan didn't advise her to give up, nor did she advise her to work hard. She just asked her to go to the capital with her brother and sister-in-law. Maybe she would have the answer when she met someone.

Ye Xingye quietly stood outside the imperial study, waiting anxiously for someone to come out. Finally, he saw Eunuch De sending the two of them out. Then Ye Yuyao left first. He immediately rushed out to catch Meng Tianlan and pretended to be casual. He asked, "The princess is not here?" Meng Tianlan looked at him first, making him inexplicably nervous, and then told him a time and place to meet. Ye Xingye was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic after realizing it.

He left the palace early the next morning, met his eldest brother's carriage on the road, avoided it, and then went to Dongshi.

After arriving at Chunfeng Tower, he handed the horse to the waiter, tried his best to suppress his nervous heartbeat and walked in. He told the waiter who came to greet him that he had an appointment. The waiter understood and took him to the innermost box upstairs. When he got outside the door, he asked the waiter to go down first, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and arranged his hair and clothes. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and was ready to knock a second time. Next, the door opened from the inside.

The moment they met, the two people seemed to be frozen. They had forgotten what they were going to say. After being stunned for a while, they both said "you" at the same time, then stopped talking, and turned away from each other. Sorry.

Ye Xingye scratched the back of his head to relieve the embarrassment and said, "You go ahead and talk." Meng Jingxiu said, "Come in and talk." Stepping to the side, Ye Xingye walked in, not daring to take too big steps, which seemed A little cautiously, Meng Jingxiu looked a little funny, and pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing. She was a little serious unconsciously, and she seemed to be in a bad mood. Seeing this, Ye Xingye became more cautious, and her heart was agitated. I don’t know if she has thought it through clearly. He has been waiting for a letter from her since they said goodbye in Xiuzhou City. She said she would write to him when she thought it through. He waited and waited, looking forward to the stars and the moon. He waited. Now.

The letter didn't come, but the person did.

"Your Highness," Ye Xingye's head jumped upon hearing this respectful yet distant address, and he swallowed his throat unconsciously because of nervousness. Meng Jingxiu stared into his eyes and asked, "Will you change your mind in the future?" Ye Xingye immediately shook his head, She was so anxious that she wanted to swear, but was stopped by Meng Jingxiu. She sighed and said, "Even sister Lingxi can't disobey the imperial edict of marriage. Now you are the only one in the palace who is still single. It will come soon if you think about it." At this point, she Taking a deep breath, she said in an unusually firm tone, "If the emperor grants marriage, you must not resist." Ye Xingye looked stunned and asked, "What if it wasn't you?" She still replied firmly, "It wasn't me. I can't resist the decree." His heart felt cold, and after being stunned for a long time, he lowered his head and muttered "I understand", then turned and walked out.

Meng Jingxiu didn't expect that he would leave, and she would react so calmly, without making a fuss or losing her temper. She felt a sense of loss, which was not what she felt. The next moment, she felt angry again, and she said angrily, "Don't come back if you leave." ." Ye Xingye stopped and stood for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and ran over, as if waking up from a dream, he hugged the person tightly in his arms.

It was like a stone fell to the ground in her heart, and she suddenly understood the answer she wanted. She grabbed his hand and pulled him out. He said where to go, and she said back to the palace.

When they arrived outside the Imperial Study Room, the two looked at each other with infinite courage in their hearts. They held their hands tightly, but when they raised their feet, they couldn't take the first step. They looked at each other again to encourage them to take the first step. Finally, it was like breaking through a shackles, and the next few steps became easier.

The two of them knelt in front of Ye Lanchen holding hands. One wanted to marry and the other wanted to marry. After expressing their feelings, they both prepared for their next fate. Ye Lanchen didn't get angry after hearing this. He picked up the tea cup and scratched it twice, then took a sip, put it down and said, "I understand, please step back first."

After the two of them left the imperial study room, you looked at me and I looked at you. They were confused. After pondering for a long time, they were not sure what the three words "got it" meant, whether they agreed or disagreed. Ye Xingye sighed, "It would be great if Lingxi was still there, she must know." Meng Jingxiu also sighed after hearing this.

The next day, Ye Lanchen issued an imperial decree granting a marriage to Liu Ru, the sister of King Jin, and Lin Heng, the son of Lin Yi, the Jiedushi of Xiuzhou.

The two of them became more and more uneasy and felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

When the vassal king and the Jiedushi left Beijing one after another, the two of them did not receive the imperial edict of marriage. They felt disappointed but at the same time felt lucky that at least they were not marrying someone else.

Capital city, winter solstice.

Chunfeng Tower was sealed by the Imperial City Department. I heard that the girl Tanxiang inside was a spy sent by another country. She was caught and imprisoned by the Imperial City Department. In addition to this bizarre incident, there was another even more bizarre incident. It became the talk of the streets.

Zixue Pavilion is closed.

That night, Yanjiang drove a carriage out of the city and sent three people aboard at the ferry. One was Yanruo and the other was Sandalwood. They were scarred and were carried by a young man. The young man was Ye Lingxi before. The young master I met when I first arrived at Chunfeng Tower was still the same as before, with no change at all. He seemed to be unable to grow up, just because he had a strange disease. Although he had supernatural powers, he was mentally ignorant. At the age of seven, The disease first occurred when he was 14, and then again when he was fourteen. After that, his appearance did not change, and his mind returned to the stage of a child.

He and Sandalwood are siblings, with a four-year age difference.

The two siblings were spotted by a spy organization and received brutal training since childhood. When they were seven years old, the younger brother became ill and was thrown into a mass grave. Sandalwood rescued the person from the pile of dead, but was hunted down by the organization and died. He was rescued by Yanruo at the last possible moment.

Before leaving, Yanruo handed a box to Yanjiang as a thank you gift, and told him another piece of news, whose hand the Huangquan seal was on.
