The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 50 Who dares to plot against me?
Steward Xing's complexion also became heavy, he glanced in the direction of the person who spoke just now, and said coldly: "Yes, this sword did belong to King Huaihua more than ten years ago, it cannot be denied What’s more, this is a good sword! It has been stained with the blood of countless enemies! I’m not afraid to tell you that since we Fengyang Tower dared to sell it, it must have been approved by the higher-ups. Otherwise, how could Mr. Murong To participate in the snatch? He is the best friend of His Highness the First Prince!"

Indeed, Li Yu appeared here and did not say anything about this matter, which represented the attitude of the court.

The crowd immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone's tense expressions relaxed.

The person who shouted just now never thought of what he said, but Guanshi Xing cracked it with a few words and used his strength, and a trace of annoyance suddenly appeared on his face.Taking advantage of the crowd not paying attention, he slipped out quietly.

But what he didn't expect was that he was stopped by several servants just as he walked out of the gate of Fengyang Tower.

"Please come with us and see us in charge!" the servant said with a cold smile.

The man turned around and wanted to go back, but was knocked unconscious by a young servant who rushed up and punched him with quick eyes and quick hands.

In the private room on the second floor, Ye Zhaoqing checked the sword and confirmed that it was her father's sword, then carefully closed the lid, and took the tens of thousands of taels of silver he had earned today together with the share that Lin Xirong gave to him. All were handed over to Steward Xing.

Then, she sighed quite satisfied, turned her head to Lin Xirong and said, "Don't worry, within a month, I will definitely pay you back the 1000 taels of silver."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Lin Xirong smiled and said, "Zhaoqing, don't take this matter to heart, let's talk about it later!"

She knew that Ye Zhaoqing was living in their Lin Mansion at this time, and she didn't have much money with her. It would be foolish to want to pay her back the more than 1 silver, so she explained: "You don't have to be afraid that I will be blamed by my family. Something no one knows."

"Tsk tsk, the Lin family is really generous." Li Yu tsk tsk twice, smiled narrowly at Murong Jin, and said to Ye Zhaoqing, "I've done you a favor, how about showing me this sword?"

Ye Zhaoqing looked puzzled: "When did you help me? I remember that the person you seem to support is Murong, right? If he so simply offered 10 taels of silver, I'm afraid it's your share too?"

Before Li Yu opened his mouth to explain, Murong Jin suddenly shouted: "Your Highness! How dare you say that you just helped me by nagging me when I was writing a poem! If it weren't for you, how could I have lost... ..."

"You would have lost without me." Li Yu interrupted him mercilessly, "Because you can't write such good poems as Miss Ye."

After hearing this, Murong Jin was stunned for a moment, then jumped up as if stung by a scorpion, pointed at Li Yu and cursed: "Well, you are a man of the opposite sex and inhumane! I see through you !" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Xirong's arm: "Let's go, I don't want to look at him again!"

"Murong! What are you doing?" Before Lin Xirong could react, she was pulled up by Murong Jin and stood up. She glanced at Ye Zhaoqing and said hesitantly, "Can't you speak well..."

Murong Jin didn't explain, just pulled her away, and when he got to the door, he whispered in Lin Xirong's ear: "You are stupid! Your Highness clearly wants to spend more time with Miss Ye, so why don't you do it there?" What? Waiting to be scolded?"

"So it's like this..." Lin Xirong suddenly realized, she glanced at Murong Jin, and asked doubtfully, "Then what should we do now? We can't stand here, right?"

"Of course not!" After hearing this, Murong Jin looked up at the half-dispersed people in the lobby on the first floor, and said with a smile, "I'll take you home!"

Lin Xirong was shocked immediately: "No way! I still have to wait until the photos are clear..."

"What are you waiting for her? Your Highness will send her back!" Murong Jin glanced at Lin Xirong, sighed and said, "I've said everything so clearly, you still don't understand, do you?"

Lin Xirong was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, take me back."

When Murong Jin heard this, a trace of joy appeared on Murong Jin's face, and she led Lin Xirong downstairs.

But at the moment, only Li Yu and Ye Zhaoqing were left staring at each other in the private room.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, and I should go back." Ye Zhaoqing said this in a hurry, and was about to leave with the sword box on the table.

Li Yu immediately stood up and said without doubt, "I'll take you back!"

"No! Don't dare trouble Your Highness!" Ye Zhaoqing said, bypassing him and walking out of the room.

But within two steps, she bumped into a human wall.

Ye Zhaoqing rubbed his sore nose, and looked at Li Yu who was standing in front of her inexplicably, with a face that was black as the bottom of a pot.

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want? Is it wrong for me to want to go back so late?"

Li Yu stared at her stubbornly, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "You hate me that much?"

"No." Ye Zhaoqing sighed, looked Li Yu up and down, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Highness, you are a talented person, and you are the pride of heaven. Your future is limitless. How could I hate you?"

"Don't say these polite words." Li Yu said in a deep voice, "You know what I'm talking about!" Then, he took a step forward, looked down at Ye Zhaoqing, stared straight into her eyes and said: "I To marry you! And you don't want to, do you?"

After all, he is a prince, and there is an innate coercion in his body, Ye Zhaoqing backed a few steps involuntarily, until his back leaned against the wall behind him.

Li Yu stepped forward again, staring at her with piercing eyes, and then slowly stretched out his hand.

"Your Highness!" Ye Zhaoqing yelled anxiously: "What are you thinking now? Although I'm just an unfavored daughter-in-law of the Marquis, I always have the right to refuse, right?"

Li Yu kept on touching Ye Zhaoqing's cheek.

The bodies of both of them trembled violently!
"Your Highness!" Ye Zhaoqing waved Li Yu's hand away and said angrily, "Please respect yourself!"

"Self-respect?" Hearing this, Li Yu sneered at Ye Zhaoqing as if he heard some funny joke, "My Highness is just looking at you for fun, you really think highly of yourself! "

With that said, he withdrew his hand, turned around and left without looking back.

Ye Zhaoqing stood there blankly, and it took a long time before he let out a breath slowly.

Then, she discovered a problem. Murong Jin and Lin Xirong had already left, and Li Yu had also left. Now, she was the only one left here.

And a handful of Fen Ji, which she had worked so hard to get.

It was getting late.

It is always unsafe for a girl to stay alone in a place like a restaurant, and it is easy to attract gossip.Ye Zhaoqing used his toes to figure out what Madam Lin would say to her in a sarcastic tone when she went back.

Or maybe, she wouldn't let her in at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help showing a wry smile, she is really lonely now, she is obviously the daughter of the Hou family, but she doesn't even have a place to live at night.

As for Lin Fu, does she want to go back?
Ye Zhaoqing thought for a long time, but in the end she decided to go back because she was afraid that Lin Xirong would be worried.

But not long after she left Fengyang Tower with the Fen Ji sword, she encountered an unexpected guest.

"Brother? Are you still going back so late?" Ye Zhaoqing looked at Ye Yuzhen, who was standing on the road, holding a folding fan, and pretending to be Mr. Pianpian in the middle of the night, with a secret vigilant expression.

Fen Ji, who was holding it in his hand, couldn't help but squeeze it tightly.

Ye Yuzhen couldn't help laughing when she heard this, with a tentative expression on her face: "Little sister, where is the eldest prince? Isn't he with you?"

"Why, you have something to do with him?" Ye Zhaoqing replied vigilantly.

Seeing this scene, Ye Yuzhen laughed very heartily: "Little sister, why are you so nervous? You are my own sister after all. Is it possible that I will still hurt you?"

"That's not sure." Ye Zhaoqing said expressionlessly: "We have never met each other in the past ten years. If elder brother can have any brother-sister affection for me, it would be a hell!"

"Hehe." Ye Yuzhen laughed dryly, cast a sideways glance at Ye Zhaoqing, and said in a frivolous tone, "Your sister really shined in Fengyang Building today! As an older brother, I never knew that my younger sister had such Waiting for skills, you can beat Fang Zhilin in pot throwing, and Murong Jin in poetry writing, what other skills do you have that you haven't revealed?"

Ye Zhaoqing looked at him coldly and didn't answer.

She knew that it was impossible for Ye Yuzhen to wait here for no reason, he must have a plan.

"You are so talented, I think it is much better than Xiang Wan. Among the three of us, you are the most talented, right?" He stared at Ye Zhaoqing closely: "Why did you go to great lengths to get that Fenji sword? I won't ask, and I won't care, but this sword is not suitable for you after all. How about you hand it over to elder brother?"

After talking for a long time, it turned out that it was for this!

Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help clenching the hand holding the sword. She gave Ye Yuzhen a cold look, and said expressionlessly, "What if I don't give it?"

"Hehe..." After hearing this, Ye Yuzhen glanced at Ye Zhaoqing like a fool, and smiled very sinisterly: "It seems that you haven't had enough of living under the fence of someone else's house? It doesn't matter, anyway, the Miss Lin family and Your relationship is so good, you can live there for a long time..."

"Big Brother is trying to prevent me from going back to the Marquis Mansion?" Ye Zhaoqing said coldly.

"No!" Ye Yuzhen smiled happily after hearing this, "You are so talented, if you go back to the Hou's Mansion, you will really shine! How could Big Brother stop you?"

After saying that, he paused and said: "It's just that, please be careful, my little sister. It's not a long-term solution after all, but don't always rely on other people's homes and don't know how to measure. If you are kicked out like a mangy dog ​​at that time, then it will be a shame." Not nice."

"You don't need to worry about my affairs." After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing was not annoyed at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Have you finished speaking? Please get out of the way when you finish speaking! Old Mrs. Lin will send People come to me, and when the time comes to get angry, you will have to bear Daddy's anger, big brother."

The reason why she didn't mention Lin Xirong was mentioning Old Master Lin, because she wanted to use him to suppress Ye Yuzhen so that he would not dare to act rashly.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Yuzhen heard this, he looked at Ye Zhaoqing from head to toe like a monster, his expression was full of disgust, and he murmured, "Everyone said that you cured Lin Lin." The old man's illness, but I don't believe it! You have been nested in the Marquis's mansion since you were a child, and no one has taken care of it. Where did you learn medical skills?"

As he said that, he stared into Ye Zhaoqing's eyes, and said maliciously: "I see, you must have seduced the old lady of the Lin family with your beauty, right? The Lin family dared not say anything and said that you cured his illness? Tsk tsk! Sister! Even if you are somewhat beautiful, you can't seduce an old man in his seventies and eighties! You are too hungry..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Zhaoqing suddenly raised his hand and gave him a slap in the face!
The sound of "啪!" was very loud in the dark night.

Ye Yuzhen was stunned at first, and then he realized that a trace of fury appeared on his face: "After being exposed, how dare you hit me?"

"A scum like you who is not as good as a pig or a dog, it's easy to beat you!" Ye Zhaoqing said coldly.

Originally, because of Qiu Ju's matter, she had disliked this brother whom she had never met, but now, he actually used such obscenities to slander her, Ye Zhaoqing really wanted to kill him!

But she can't, if she does this, she will definitely become an enemy of Ning Guohou's mansion, and that bunch of crazy women will definitely launch the craziest revenge on her!
She simply has no time or energy to deal with these things now.

"You dare to scold me?" Ye Yuzhen stretched out his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth that was bleeding from Ye Zhaoqing's beating, and showed a ferocious smile. He walked towards Ye Zhaoqing step by step, and said in a serious tone while walking: " Originally, I saw that you were still useful, and I was going to sell you a favor to let you get out of the predicament of relying on others, but I didn't expect that you would be so ignorant! Then I don't need to be polite!"

After finishing speaking, he closed the fan with a snap, pulled out the saber from his waist, and stabbed fiercely at Ye Zhaoqing!

When Ye Zhaoqing slapped that slap, she had already anticipated the consequences, and was already secretly on guard. When Ye Yuzhen rushed over, she pulled out the Fen Ji in her hand!
There was a humming sound from the sword, and the bright sword body shone in the dark night, reflecting the girl's dignified face.

Immediately, her whole body was shrouded in darkness.

The power of the sword made Ye Yuzhen, who was rushing over, stop. He put away his angry face, looked at the sword with an almost greedy gaze, and snorted coldly: "If you call out this sword, then I still recognize you as my sister! Otherwise, before tomorrow, you will be removed from the genealogy of the Ningguohou Mansion!"

"So what about delisting?" Ye Zhaoqing sneered and said, "I decide whether to return to the Marquis Mansion or not. Do you really think you can stop it?"

"What a big tone!" Ye Yuzhen snorted coldly: "You have changed, and you are indeed different from the submissive you you used to be, but it doesn't help! No matter how talented you are, what's the use? Don’t even think about entering the gate in this lifetime!” Then, he lifted his chin and looked at Ye Zhaoqing contemptuously, and said, “Come on! I want to see if you can dance with a sword! So what if you hold a peerless sword? You are just as much an embroidered pillow!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ye Zhaoqing to answer, he raised the sword in his hand and slashed at Ye Zhaoqing fiercely!

At this moment, he had already forgotten that the person in front of him was his sister.

No, maybe in Ye Shizi's heart, his unfavored sister is just like the most despicable maidservant, a person who deserves to die long ago.

Ye Zhaoqing unhurriedly raised Fen Ji, squeezed a sword formula in his hand, and stepped forward to fight.

With a sound of "snap!", the two swords collided.

The next moment, a strange thing happened, the sword in Ye Yuzhen's hand suddenly snapped from the blade into two pieces!
Ye Yuzhen's complexion changed drastically, and he took a few steps back.

"You! You actually know swordsmanship?" Ye Yuzhen stuttered in shock.

Ye Zhaoqing put Fen Ji in front of him to prevent Ye Yuzhen from doing anything wrong. Hearing this, he said expressionlessly: "Brother, you are too weak, right? I'm just an airs, you can't even beat me, see It looks like you've fed the dogs all your daily practice."

"If it wasn't for Fen Ji in your hands, how could I have lost?" Ye Yuzhen said angrily.

"I will really make excuses for your failure." Ye Zhaoqing said with a slight smile.

Ye Yuzhen looked at her appearance, and a sneer suddenly appeared on her originally ferocious face: "Sister, don't you think that if you beat me, you can leave today with Fen Ji? I have to say, you really It's...so naive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, Ye Zhaoqing heard a few voices piercing through the air, without looking at her, she knew that there were quite a few men in black rushing towards her!Those people have sharp knives in their hands!

This is a big deal, she can deal with Ye Yuzhen, but can she deal with a large group of people?
Ye Zhaoqing was a little anxious in her heart, but she refused to show a trace of timidity on her face. She held up Fen Ji, and suddenly ran towards Ye Yuzhen!

At this moment, Ye Yuzhen didn't have a sword in his hand, so he was the best person to deal with.There is a saying that goes well, capture the thief first and capture the king, she doesn't believe it, and when Ye Yuzhen is caught, will these people be suspicious!
"Good sister! You want to drag me even when you are dying!" Unexpectedly, Ye Yuzhen is also a very cunning person. As soon as his thugs appeared, he quickly retreated, and he retreated to a safe range, with a smile on his face Facing Ye Zhaoqing, who was trapped in the encirclement, he said: "My good sister, originally I only wanted that Fenji to talk to you politely, but you didn't give me face! But now, go to hell!"

As he spoke, he gestured a decapitation gesture towards the men in black around him.

Soon, everyone raised their knives and slashed at Ye Zhaoqing!
"You're dead, and Xiang Wan has one less rival, so she has more hope of becoming a princess." Ye Yuzhen rubbed her chin with a smile and said, "I don't know how she will thank me?"

In his eyes, Ye Zhaoqing is no different from a dead person at this moment.

Ye Zhaoqing dodged desperately in embarrassment, she could dance a sword well, but her swordsmanship was not superb, if it wasn't for the murder weapon in her hand, Fen Ji, which made those people fearful, she would have died already.

Ye Yuzhen stood not far from the circle, with a cruel smile on his lips, watching this scene excitedly.

This pervert!
Ye Zhaoqing hated and was anxious in her heart, if she had the time now, she would definitely kill Ye Yuzhen, that bastard!He even led people to besiege his own sister, how could there be such a person in the world?

With a sound of "Chi!", unfortunately, her right foot was hit by the sword, and a piercing pain hit her. Ye Zhaoqing frowned involuntarily.He clumsily dealt with these killers.

Ye Yuzhen's eyes widened in excitement, and he walked up a few steps and said with a smile: "Oh my sister, why are you injured? You are bleeding! It hurts! But it doesn't matter, you will die later, brother, for the sake of your family God will definitely give you a good time...you will be free soon."

What he said was vicious, and his eyes were even colder.

"You bastard!" Ye Zhaoqing couldn't bear to curse.

"Tsk tsk! I don't like to hear that!" Ye Yuzhen stretched out her hand to caress her face, which was slapped by Ye Zhaoqing before, and said viciously to the thugs around her: "My sister has such a pretty face, can't you see Why? Cut it off and take a closer look!"

Hearing this, the thugs around were stunned for a moment, and the next moment, they all attacked Ye Zhaoqing's face.

Ye Zhaoqing fought hard!
"Tsk tsk! A large group of men bullying a weak woman is really a downfall!" But at this moment, a cold ridicule was suddenly heard in everyone's ears.

The next moment, there was a chirping sound in the air, and while Ye Zhaoqing was in a daze, those killers who were holding swords to kill her vomited blood one by one and fell to the ground.

Ye Yuzhen's expression froze when he saw this scene, he took a few steps back, stared at the surroundings with a full of vigilance, and asked loudly, "Who?! Who dares to plot against me?"

No one answered him.

Ye Zhaoqing also turned his head, looking around, the voice just now was very strange.Do you know who saved your life?
At this moment, as if she had sensed something, she suddenly turned her head to the west.

Under the moonlight, in a dark alley, a man in black came out slowly.

As they got closer, Ye Zhaoqing could see clearly.

I saw that man was extremely handsome, his face was like a sculpture with distinct features.Tall and mighty, just standing quietly makes people feel an invisible pressure.A head of black and lush hair was raised with a hosta and scattered behind her back.A pair of sword eyebrows, a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, obviously amorous, but it gives people a feeling of desertedness.

Ye Zhaoqing didn't know this person.

However, Ye Yuzhen cried out: "Mu, Mr. Murong?"

Prince Murong?I seem to hear this name all the time lately?

Ye Zhaoqing frowned, and suddenly remembered that Murong Jin has an older brother named Murong Shen, who has not been in the capital recently, it is said that he is out on business, could it be him?

She couldn't help but glanced at the man curiously.

With this glance, Ye Zhaoqing finally confirmed in his heart that he is Murong Shen!With facial features similar to Murong Jin's, does she need to find other evidence?
"Get lost!" Facing Ye Yuzhen's question, Murong Shen only slightly opened his mouth to say one word.
