The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 8
He was about to leave, but Murong Jin grabbed him.

What are you doing?He gestured with his eyes.

Murong Jin whispered: "This yard is too messy, let's go to the roof."

On the roof?this is a good idea!

They were at a high place, they could see all directions, hear four directions, and they could clearly see what that girl Ye Zhaoqing was doing in the yard.

Moreover, it is not easy for her to notice.

What a great way to kill three birds with one stone.

Li Yu cast an approving look at Murong Jin, and the two of them jumped up to the roof silently under the moonlight.

At that time, the moonlight was like water, clearly illuminating the weeds in the yard as tall as half a person, and also illuminating the old dead trees in the corner, as desolate as it could be.I really don't know what a little girl is doing here in the middle of the night?Isn't she afraid?

"What about the girl? Why can't I see her? Has she entered the house?" Li Yu looked left and right, ready to reach out to lift the tiles under his feet.

"Stop! There she is!" Murong Jin quickly reached out to point.

Only then did Li Yu look up, and sure enough, there was a small, slender figure squatting under a big tree in the north of the courtyard that required two people to hug each other.The thick and dense canopy of the trees almost completely blocked her figure, no wonder he didn't see him for a while.

The little girl lowered her head, not knowing what she was doing.His long black hair spread out behind him, and his figure became smaller and smaller.

"Hey, why is she digging the soil? Is there something buried in the soil?" Li Yu asked doubtfully while watching.

Murong Jin signaled him not to speak with his eyes, the distance is too close, it will alarm the people below.

Li Yu closed his mouth, but at this moment, Murong Jin couldn't help but said: "Li Yu, do you still remember the An Ning Princess of Prince Huai's Mansion back then?"

"What are you talking about?" Li Yu's face darkened again.

Murong Jin glanced at him, and said softly: "The Princess An Ning, who used to accompany Princess Huai to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, counting the time, if she is still alive, she might be as old as Miss Ye family. "

"So what if they're the same size? They can't be the same person!" Li Yu said sullenly.

Murong Jin looked away, and said calmly: "It's impossible, but why Miss Ye came here in the middle of the night is really suspicious."

Li Yu's eyes dimmed, and his eyes were fixed on Murong Jin, but when he wanted to continue listening, Murong Jin closed his mouth and never spoke again.

The two fell silent for a while.

At this moment, the person under the big tree let out a soft exclamation.

"It's great, it's still here."

The voice was low, with a trace of emotion, a trace of loneliness, and a trace of something else.

Li Yu looked around, and saw Ye Zhaoqing, who was squatting under the big tree digging a hole, had stood up. Under the silvery moonlight, he could clearly see something in the little girl's hand.But because of the distance, he couldn't see clearly what it was.

"It's Yupei." At this moment, Murong Jin who was at the side suddenly said lightly.

Li Yu frowned immediately when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "My guess is indeed right! This young lady of the Ye family came here in the middle of the night, either stealing people or things!" After the words fell, He suddenly sank his body, and his whole body flew down!

Murong Jin stretched out his hand to stop him, but he was blocked in vain!

Under the big tree, Ye Zhaoqing looked at the jade pendant in her hand that she hadn't seen for many years, and a smile slowly appeared on her face, but before the smile fully unfolded, she heard a rustling sound, and the moment she looked up, a figure appeared from mid-air Zhong rushed towards her fiercely, and then, when her hand was empty, the jade pendant that she had spent a long time finding was taken away.

"Li Yu! What are you doing? Return the jade pendant to me!" Ye Zhaoqing saw the person coming, and his face suddenly sank.

Li Yu didn't care to look at the jade pendant in his hand. He fixed his eyes on Ye Zhaoqing's angry face, and felt inexplicably happy in his heart. Hearing this, he smiled evilly and said, "Ye Zhaoqing, you are so great." Your guts! Even your grandmother has to respectfully call me Your Highness, what are you, you dare to call my Highness by my first name! Who gave you the courage!"

It's not an apology, but a blame.

Ye Zhaoqing looked at his smug face, mad with anger, but couldn't say a word!
"Your Highness!" Murong Jin also flew over from the roof.

Ye Zhaoqing stood where he was, looked at the handsome man standing side by side in front of him, and took a step back involuntarily, with a complicated look on his face.

When Li Yu saw him, he immediately became angry. What happened during the day immediately flooded his mind. He took a step forward, glared at Ye Zhaoqing angrily, and said, "What kind of eyes do you have! Stop thinking about others with your dirty thoughts!"

"Your Highness, are you going to lose your crown this year?" Ye Zhaoqing spoke slowly at this moment.

Li Yu was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why she said this, so he snorted coldly and said, "So what?"

"No, it's just that His Highness doesn't even have a side concubine by his side, yet he is inseparable from the man. I just find it strange." Ye Zhaoqing said calmly.

But Li Yu understood something else. He glanced at Ye Zhaoqing with disdain, and said arrogantly: "It's useless for you to inquire about these things. You are not qualified to marry this king! You can't even be a concubine!"

He doesn't pay attention to the eldest daughter of Ningguohou's mansion!
Ye Zhaoqing didn't want to argue with him so much, anyway, she didn't want to have anything to do with Li Yu, so she silently stretched out a slender hand and said calmly: "Your Highness, the jade pendant belongs to me, please return it to me. "

"Your?" Li Yu heard this, as if he heard a big joke, he glanced at Ye Zhaoqing with contemptuous eyes, and said in a rough voice: "What evidence do you have to prove that this is yours? Moreover, this is the courtyard where Princess Huai lived, and their family is a traitor. You, a young lady of the Ningguo Hou Mansion, ran in here in the middle of the night and dug out a piece of jade pendant and said it was your own. Report the truth to the royal father, and guess what will happen to your Ningguohou residence?"

After Ye Zhaoqing heard this, he immediately suffocated.

If you get involved with King Huai, the Marquis of Ningguo will not have a good life in the future!If a treason charge is brought down, either the family will be ruined or the person will die.

"It seems that you are not stupid, you know how powerful you are!" The paleness and panic on Ye Zhaoqing's face pleased Li Yu. He glanced at her and said triumphantly: "Don't even think about this jade pendant, it is impossible to give it to you. No !, Don’t even think about it in this life!”

Ye Zhaoqing felt a little helpless after hearing this: "Your Highness is a great prince with a noble status. Do you have any jade pendant you want? What you have in your hand is just an ordinary jade pendant. Why don't you be a favor and return it to me?" Me? I will always remember His Highness's kindness."

"What do I want your gratitude for?" Li Yu looked at Ye Zhaoqing mockingly after hearing this, and said, "This jade pendant is very ordinary, but I would rather break it than give it to you!" , Murong Jin at the side hastily reached out to stop her.

Ye Zhaoqing's face paled fiercely, and she took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, do you hate me because I accidentally saw that scene today? I promise Your Highness, you won't say a word."

"That's not okay, at least I'll goug your eyes!" Li Yu said relentlessly.

So ruthless!Just like his emperor father!
Hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing's heart trembled, she knew that she had kicked the iron plate, and she was very remorseful, but no amount of remorse was useless, something had already happened, she had already offended the eldest prince, now , You must quickly find a way to remedy it!

"Miss Ye, can I ask you a question?" At this moment, Murong Jin who had been silent all this time suddenly asked.

Ye Zhaoqing was taken aback, then turned to look at Murong Jin, she still had a good impression of this gentle and jade-like son of aristocratic family, upon hearing this, she immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Murong, you can ask."

Li Yu on the side immediately frowned, why did he think that this girl's attitude towards Murong Jin was much better than him?A feeling of displeasure welled up in my heart.

Murong Jin was also a little surprised, he took a deep look at Ye Zhaoqing, and asked in a deep voice: "Miss Ye, why did you come here, and, besides, is this jade pendant related to Prince Huai's Mansion?"

After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing's heart trembled, this Murong Jin's eyes are quite poisonous!She took a deep breath, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "Your Highness, this jade pendant has nothing to do with Huai Wang's Mansion. It was buried secretly when I came to Jokhang Temple to offer incense half a year ago. Today, I just want to bury it. Just take it out."

"Oh? Why did the girl bury it here?" Murong Jin looked down at the jade pendant in Li Yu's hand, and said.

Ye Zhaoqing responded with kindness: "Because there is no one living here, no one will come, and if you hide something, it will generally not be discovered by others, and it will not be lost."

"So that's the case." Murong Jin smiled at Ye Zhaoqing after hearing this, and said, "I heard that the girl's life in Ningguo Hou's Mansion is not easy, but now it seems that it is so."

If it wasn't for being ignored, life in the mansion would be difficult, and a dignified young lady of Ning Guohou's mansion would not hide her beloved things here.

Hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing felt a sense of vigilance in his heart. He only met a few times, and this Mr. Murong has already investigated her!

But it is also possible that it was because of her great reputation as a Sangmen star that attracted the attention of Mr. Murong.

"Murong, why are you talking so much with her? I originally wanted to settle accounts with her. Since we met, let's do it!" Li Yu said while rolling up his sleeves.He was going to beat Ye Zhaoqing severely to vent his anger.
