The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 109

Ye Zhaoqing was so shaken by her that he almost couldn't sit still. Hearing this, he looked helplessly at the rockery, and when he saw the red flower, he suddenly froze.

Lin Xirong was still there trying to divert Ye Zhaoqing's attention, pointing at the flower and said happily: "Murong Yan also said that this Xifu crabapple is the best in the world, in my opinion! All the crabapple flowers in the yard are covered by that one flower. Flowers are outnumbered!"

After chatting for a long time, she suddenly found that Ye Zhaoqing didn't say a word, but just looked up blankly. When she turned her head to look, she happened to see the obsession in Ye Zhaoqing's eyes.

"You also think what I said is right, don't you?" Lin Xirong immediately laughed when she heard the words: "Zhaoqing, if you like it, I'll climb up and pick it off for you."

The rockery was originally made of chaotic rocks, and it wasn't too high, only about seven or eight feet tall, but it was still a big problem for Lin Xirong.

But Ling'er's death was an indelible guilt in her heart, she tried her best to do something to make up for Ye Zhaoqing, so that she could live a more comfortable life.

"No." Hearing the words, Ye Zhaoqing shook his head suddenly, and said, "I'll go up and pick it myself."

Lin Xirong was startled when she heard the words: "Zhaoqing, why is this? It's just a flower..."

It's a big deal, let the servants pick it up!She still doesn't believe it, the huge Murong Mansion can't bear a single flower?

"No, this is not a flower, but a medicinal material." Ye Zhaoqing shook his head and said in a low voice: "I have read from medical books that this is a rare medicinal material called Golden Thread Grass, which can cure hundreds of poisons, and I Right now, it's needed."

"Zhaoqing, wait." Hearing this, Lin Xirong saw Ye Zhaoqing rolled up her sleeves and skirt as if preparing to climb a mountain, and immediately stopped her: "Since this medicinal material is scarce, how could it appear in Murong?" Mansion? And so casually planted on a rockery? You can’t be mistaken, right?”

Hearing the words, Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes to look at the flower carefully, then shook his head firmly, and said, "I'm not mistaken, that's the golden thread grass."

"But, why did it appear here?" Lin Xirong whispered, "Murongyan led the two of us here, as if we were afraid that we wouldn't see it. This matter is quite weird."

"No matter how weird it is, I want it too!" Ye Zhaoqing said in a low voice, "Xi Rong, I really need it, can you go to the outside and help me guard it? Murong Yan will yell when she comes."

Seeing her determination, Lin Xirong immediately sighed and said, "Forget it! I'll help you this time! Who told me to owe you?" She said, shaking her head and said, "Stop talking, I'll go outside to watch, If people see the dignified princess acting like a petty thief in other people's houses, they will laugh their teeth off."

Ye Zhaoqing laughed out loud when he heard the words: "That's right, I can't let others see it."

But at this moment, Lin Xirong suddenly slapped her forehead and said, "Zhaoqing, do you think we two are stupid? Since you have taken a fancy to this herb, let His Royal Highness go to the Murong family to ask for it in a fair manner? With his status, isn't it easy to catch? Why do we have to climb up to find it?"

"No, the crown prince can't ask for it in person." Ye Zhaoqing immediately shook his head when he heard the words, and then said: "And it must be kept secret. No one can know."

When Lin Xirong heard this, she was stunned for an instant: "Zhaoqing, did I hear you right? If we really picked this flower, the Murong Mansion will definitely notice it. Once we investigate, won't we be found?"

"I'll wait until I find out, I can't care so much now." Ye Zhaoqing still looked up at the column of herbs, and said in a low voice: "And you see, it doesn't look like it is carefully maintained at all, but it looks like it was planted randomly. Yes, even if it is pulled out, I am afraid it will not attract many people's attention."

"But no matter what, our behavior is all stealing..." Lin Xirong said in a low voice, "It's bad for reputation if it spreads out..."

"I can't care about that much anymore." Ye Zhaoqing said, gently pushed Lin Xirong, and said, "Stop nagging, go and watch, and Murong Yan will be back later."

Lin Xirong had no choice but to half push and half go to the outside, staring at the surroundings vigilantly.

Ye Zhaoqing stood on the spot, looked up at the medicinal herbs on the high rockery, quickly rolled up his sleeves, tied up the corners of his skirt, collected himself, and climbed up quickly.

Fortunately, the weather has been fine recently, and it has never rained. Otherwise, the rockery is wet, and Ye Zhaoqing will definitely not be able to climb it.

It was also thanks to the fact that she likes to exercise her body and bones on weekdays, and she climbed up to half her waist in one breath, Ye Zhaoqing was not tired at all.

She was afraid that Murong Yan would come back, so she kept speeding up, and there were gravels falling down on the rockery, which were stepped on by Ye Zhaoqing.

Finally, she climbed to the top.

Ye Zhaoqing sat down on his buttocks, took a little breath, and then stretched out his hand tremblingly to reach for the medicinal herb.

The emerald green leaves swayed slightly, then moved away again, out of reach...

Ye Zhaoqing had no choice but to lean forward a little more, and stretched her arms hard. This time, she was finally able to hook the herb.

Very good!
Ye Zhaoqing was overjoyed for a while, leaned forward, and dug at the root with both hands, and finally dug out the herb with its roots and beards from the soil.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps not far away.

Ye Zhaoqing stood tall, and when she turned her head, she saw the other side of the rockery, and Murong Yan was rushing there with a servant girl anxiously.

She felt a chill in her heart.

Gotta go down quickly.Ye Zhaoqing thought, she held the herb in one hand, and slowly climbed down the rock with the other.

I don't know if it's because of her haste, but at the next moment, Ye Zhaoqing suddenly felt a light under her foot, followed by a click, and the rock she was stepping on suddenly fell down the rockery!
Ye Zhaoqing herself fell down involuntarily!
But at this moment, the whole rockery made rumbling noises. Before Ye Zhaoqing realized it, the whole rockery began to shake. Except for the one rock just now, all the rocks began to fall down. down!

If this continues, even if Ye Zhaoqing survives the fall, he will be crushed to death by these rocks!
Ye Zhaoqing's body fell down rapidly, and when she saw the colorful mountains and rocks above her head chasing her desperately, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In her first rebirth, she thought about it a lot, but she never expected that in the end, she would be crushed to death!
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that her body, which was falling rapidly, stopped suddenly.

Ye Zhaoqing opened his eyes abruptly, and then saw a pair of clear phoenix eyes, only a few inches away from him.

It's Murong Shen.

Feeling the warm touch from his waist, Ye Zhaoqing suddenly realized that he was being hugged by Murong Shen.

Isn't this person not in the capital, but went to Yuzhou?Why did it suddenly appear?
Before Ye Zhaoqing had time to be shy, her mind was so full of greetings that her mind was so occupied that she didn't even react when the two of them landed on the ground.

"You put yourself in such a dangerous situation just because of that one plant of grass?" Murong Shen lowered his head and glanced at Ye Zhaoqing, and suddenly frowned fiercely.

Hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing lowered his head to look at the medicinal herb that was still tightly held in his hand, and suddenly hid it behind his back.But she is still being hugged by Murong Shen at this moment, where can she hide?

"Princess Concubine! How are you?" At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind the two of them. Ye Zhaoqing looked back and saw that it was Murong Yan and Lin Xirong who had arrived.

"Brother, you..." Seeing Murong Shen tightly hugging Ye Zhaoqing, Murong Yan was stunned.

Lin Xirong was also petrified, standing there unable to utter a word.

"The princess fell from the rockery just now, and I saved her." Being stared at by his sister strangely, Murong Shen's expression was very calm, he put Ye Zhaoqing on the ground steadily, and then cupped his hands and said : "Crown Princess, don't do such a dangerous thing again next time, if His Royal Highness finds out, he will definitely be very worried!"

Ye Zhaoqing heard the words and was about to answer, but Li Yu's anxious loud voice sounded behind him: "Qing'er! Where are you? What happened?"

When Murong Yan turned her head, she saw Li Yu running towards her with a nervous and anxious face, followed by her second brother.

Murong Yan's gaze suddenly flickered.

"Qing'er! Are you okay?" Li Yu rushed in, looked Ye Zhaoqing up and down carefully, saw that she was not injured, he was relieved immediately, grabbed her with a big hand into his arms.

"I'm fine." Ye Zhaoqing was worrying that the herb in her hand had no place to hide. Li Yu's move just gave her a chance. In Yu's chest, leaning against his chest, he said: "Your Highness, I was frightened, and I am still a little scared at the moment, can you take me away?"

Li Yu had seen Ye Zhaoqing speak so softly before, and was immediately stunned. Immediately afterwards, a blush appeared on his cheeks at an extremely fast speed, reaching the base of his neck.

The next moment, he turned around and said to Murong Jin: "Murong, you cleaned up here, I will take Qing'er back first... Eh, master, you are back?"

It was only now that Li Yu saw Murong Shen.

However, Murong Shen seemed to be used to this, he waved his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, don't worry about this, hurry up and carry the Crown Princess back to ask the imperial doctor to check it! What if you are hit by a rock?"

As soon as Li Yu heard this, his heart sank instantly. Hearing the words, he nodded and said, "Okay! Then thank you, master!" After saying that, he strode away with Ye Zhaoqing in his arms.

Murong Yan stood where she was, watching this scene for a long time without saying a word.

Lin Xirong also knew that she couldn't stay here for long, so she hastily said her farewell and left.

In the garden, only the Murong family was left, no outsiders were present.

Murong Shen glanced around the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "I just came back, and this happened to me. If I hadn't acted fast, something would have happened to the Crown Princess today! No one will tell me what happened?"

"Brother." As soon as the words fell to the ground, Murong Yan opened her mouth: "Today, the elder brother of the prince came to the door with the concubine, and Miss Lin came with him. My grandfather ordered me and my second brother to entertain me. Later, the concubine said she was going to visit the West Mansion. Haitang, I took her and Miss Lin..."

"It's the first time for the Crown Princess to visit, how did she know that there is a Xifu Begonia in our house?" Before Murong Yan could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Murong Shen.

Murong Yan bit her lip, then said in a low voice, "I told the Crown Princess."

Hearing this, Murong Shen took a fixed look at her, and said after a while, "Go ahead!"

"Yes, big brother." Murong Yan nodded immediately after hearing this, and then said: "But halfway through, I suddenly felt anxious, so I pointed out the direction to the princess and told them to go first, so I went to the nearest latrine... "

When Murong Shen heard this, his complexion sank immediately: "It's human nature to be anxious, you can't be blamed for this, but, when you left, did you ever assign a maid to lead the way for the Crown Princess?"

"No." Murong Yan immediately lowered her head when she heard the words: "I didn't think carefully about this matter, but at that time, I really..."

"That's not a reason!" Murong Shen frowned, glanced at his little sister coolly, and said in a deep voice: "As a lady from a great family and the only girl in the family, your mother taught you to treat me when you were young." The way of the guest, it’s not that our family has no daughters who have come to visit us these years, you have treated them well, and there has never been a mistake, what’s going on today? How could there be such a big mistake?”

When Murong Yan heard this, she lowered her head and did not answer.

Standing aside, Murong Jin couldn't stand it any longer, so she immediately defended her: "Brother, when the princess is playing, she never likes to be disturbed by others. I told Yan'er about this, and she probably took this into consideration." ,talent……"

"So, you still have a share in this matter?" Murong Shen coldly glanced at his younger brother when he heard this, and Murong Jin who stared straight at him broke out in cold sweat, and couldn't speak anymore.

He turned his head, looked at the rockery that had collapsed more than half, sighed and said: "Look at this, if something happens to the princess, do you think Li Yu will let us go?"

Murong Jin immediately laughed and said, "Brother, you are too alarmist! Isn't it all right?"

"It's okay?" Murong Shen sneered deeply when he heard the words, raised his eyes to look at Murong Jin, and said sharply: "This rockery has been in our house for so many years, and it seldom falls off a little bit of gravel. It is very stable. Why is it today?" The one suddenly collapsed? It’s really strange!" As he spoke, he gave Murong Jin a hard look and said, "I'll give you a day to investigate this matter for me immediately!"

"Understood, brother!" Murong Jin nodded quickly, but reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

After teaching him a lesson, Murong Shen looked at Murong Yan: "It's because you didn't assign the girl to follow the Crown Princess, so she went to climb the rockery unscrupulously. It can be said that you caused all this, can you admit it?"

Hearing this, Murong Yan, who had been lowering her head, suddenly raised her head and stared at Murong Shen closely, her face full of grievances: "Then the princess wanted to climb the rockery by herself, and I didn't force her to do so." Climbing, how can all this be counted on me?"

Murong Shen took a fixed look at her, and suddenly asked an inappropriate question: "Yan'er, you haven't actually let go of the crown prince, have you?"

Hearing this, Murong Yan's expression was flustered, but she quickly shook her head and retorted: "I never cared about him! I have always treated him like an older brother, just like you and your second brother... ..."

"I hope you really think so." After hearing this, Murong Shen took a fixed look at his little sister, and when he saw the anger and panic in her eyes, his heart softened inexplicably. After all, he didn't force Mrs. Tight: "Go back, think behind closed doors for a month, and think about what you did wrong today!"

"Yes, brother, I understand." Murong Yan responded in a muffled voice despite her reluctance.

"Go!" Murong Shen said, turning his head to stare at the rockery.

Murong Jin walked over and said in a low voice, "Brother, if grandfather asks, how should he answer?"'

Murong Shen turned his head and glanced at him, then said in a deep voice, "Grandpa won't ask."

"That's great." Murong Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, after all, the princess of a country almost had an accident in Murong's mansion, if his grandfather found out, he would scold them badly.

"Yan'er will tell him." Murong Shen continued.

When Murong Jin heard this, his face instantly turned pale.

Murong Shen ignored him, but called a group of servants and began to clean up the chaos caused by the collapse of the rockery.

In fact, there is still a puzzle in his heart, that is, Ye Zhaoqing has always been very measured, how could he do the thing of climbing a rockery?Is it impulsive, or for something else?
In order to find out the truth of the matter, Murong Shen even jumped to the remaining uncollapsed rockery to inspect it carefully, but unfortunately, due to the severe collapse of the rocks, he couldn't see anything.

There must be a reason...

Murong Shen didn't give up.

It wasn't until he returned to his courtyard and went to check the rare flowers and plants that he raised in the yard familiarly, that he suddenly found that a golden thread grass was missing.

However, the golden thread grass is the least conspicuous of all the precious flowers, so it didn't attract Murong Shen's attention.

He returned to the study room, untied the Fen Ji sword from the wall, and stroked it silently.

……

As soon as he returned to the East Palace, Ye Zhaoqing returned to his former deserted appearance.

In fact, in the imperial chariot, she was already very indifferent to Li Yu.

This made Li Yu baffled. He couldn't understand why Ye Zhaoqing was always affectionate to him in front of others, but indifferent to him in back.

After returning to the East Palace, Ye Zhaoqing waved back and forth, and when there was no one else present in the palace, she suddenly walked towards Li Yu.

"What are you doing?" Looking at Ye Zhaoqing's eyes, Li Yu suddenly felt a little scared, mixed with a little excitement.

His crown princess has never looked at him with such focused eyes!
However, what surprised Li Yu was still to come. After Ye Zhaoqing approached him, he suddenly reached out and took off his robe!
Li Yu was so excited that his whole heart came to his throat, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Zhaoqing's messy hand on him, and asked hoarsely: "Qing, Qing'er, you change your mind, are you going to have sex with me?" I have a bridal chamber?"

After waiting for a long time, it suddenly came true. Li Yu's excited mood was mixed with a little nervousness.

Ye Zhaoqing was inexplicable: "What bridal chamber? What nonsense are you talking about?" As soon as she finished speaking, she broke away from Li Yu's hand and pulled out a medicinal herb from his chest as if by magic.

After that, she threw Li Yu aside like she was throwing away trash, and carried her precious medicinal herbs into the bedroom.

Li Yu's fiery heart was instantly poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water. He watched Ye Zhaoqing enter the bedroom in a daze. It took him a while to react, and he got up abruptly and followed.

"Zhaoqing, when did this herb come to me? What do you want it for?" After entering the inner hall, Li Yu saw Ye Zhaoqing looking carefully at the herb in front of the jade table by the window, and immediately asked .

Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes to look at him, and said calmly: "When you were in Murong Mansion, as soon as you hugged me, I hid it on your body."

"What?" Li Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and at the same time thought in his heart that he really was acting affectionate. If it wasn't for this, how could Ye Zhaoqing honestly let him hug him?

He smiled sheepishly, and then asked: "But, what do you want it for? The sudden collapse of the rockery in Murong Mansion has something to do with it, right?"

"This medicinal herb can cure all kinds of poisons." After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes to look at Li Yu, and said, "Your Highness naturally knows why I want it. The collapse of the rockery in Murong Mansion is indeed It has something to do with this, when I came down from the rockery, I didn't know that I touched the mechanism, and the rockery collapsed all of a sudden, it seems to be man-made."

Li Yu only understood the meaning of the first half of the words.

It turned out that Ye Zhaoqing worked hard to climb up that rockery in order to get this medicinal herb, and then undo the poison on his body...

For this reason, she did not hesitate to risk herself, and was almost crushed to death by the collapsed rocks!

How deep is the love for her to do this?
Tears came out of Li Yu's eyes suddenly, he stared fixedly at Ye Zhaoqing without blinking.

However, Ye Zhaoqing was shocked when she saw this. She stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Li Yu, wondering, "Your Highness, you've recovered! What are you doing?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Yu stretched out his hand suddenly, and rubbed her into his arms fiercely!
Ye Zhaoqing wailed suddenly, and Li Yu's hard chest hit her eyes with stars!

"Li Yu! What are you doing? Let me go!" Ye Zhaoqing became anxious, and immediately reached out and patted Li Yu's back fiercely, hoping that he would let him go.

However, Li Yu held Ye Zhaoqing tightly and did not let go, letting the raindrops of fists hit his back, and said softly but firmly: "Qing'er, I will never let you go in this life! "

Ye Zhaoqing, who was thrashing in Li Yu's arms, froze suddenly when he heard the words.

Li Yu didn't say anything else, and quietly hugged Ye Zhaoqing for a moment, then he let her go slowly.

He didn't see the impatience and disgust on the beauty's face, which made him feel excited, although the expression on Ye Zhaoqing's face at the moment can be described as dull.

"You don't have to worry too much about this matter, I will handle it." Li Yu said softly: "It's just that it is related to the Murong family and even Yan'er. I'm afraid I can't hide it from my concubine."

Ye Zhaoqing nodded after hearing the words.
