Chapter 639 Lianlian

A'man did not wait for Lou Qinghan's reply, because Lou Qinghan had been urged by the palace people of Northern Qi to go to the Imperial College.

Even though Lou Qinghan looked unhappy, he still followed after being urged by the people in the Northern Qi palace.

Before leaving, he glanced at Aman, with worry and doubt in his eyes.

Ah Man laughed when she saw him, and when he walked away, she said to her father: "Dad, did you see that? After all these years, he still doesn't trust me. Do you think it's worth it for me to take that risk for someone I don't trust?"

"Not worth it!" The witch doctor answered firmly, "You know what kind of person the Crown Prince is. You even said it yourself. After all these years, he still doesn't trust you. So why do you work so hard for him?"

"Because I am the high priest! It is my duty to serve him. If I cannot serve him, I will not be the high priest. The old king pushed me to this position with the only requirement that I protect his most beloved son for my whole life. If I cannot do this, I am not worthy of being the high priest."

"Then don't be one." The witch doctor stared at her and said, "Then let someone else be the high priest. I am the best witch doctor in Suyuan Country. As long as I am here, you can live well even if you are not the high priest."

"But can father be here forever?" Aman smiled bitterly and shook his head. "If father can't break the shackles of heaven and earth, if he can't break through the sixty-year life span, then I can't live a good life. There are countless people eyeing the position of high priest, and there are countless people eyeing the position of high witch doctor. Our fate is the same. If it were you, father, who was in this situation today, you would have to make the same choice."

The witch doctor was silent, because he knew that Ah Man was right. If he, a witch doctor, had to die today, he would have no choice. Suyuan was their country, and it was their mission to protect their country and their master.

But... "But I also feel sorry for my daughter. You can't let me, an old man with gray hair, send you, a young woman with black hair, off. You said you would do your best to save her life, but I know the method you mentioned. How can you save her life? Ah Man, I know that the High Priest's lineage will have to take this path sooner or later. Even if today's incident hadn't happened, you would have already discussed using this method to try to break the shackles of heaven and earth and extend the lifespan of humans. So you have to think about whether the shackles of heaven and earth are more important, or Crown Prince Su Yuan."

He sighed heavily, walked to the door, and looked at the clear sky with his hands behind his back.

"Ah Man, if you sacrifice your life for the sake of human lifespan and the shackles of heaven and earth, your father will be distressed, but will still support you. At that time, your father will personally collect your body and tell the whole world about your efforts and sacrifices. But now, it's not worth it. Lou Qinghan's face is not worth exchanging your life for. If you lose your life here, you will be ashamed of the inheritance of the high priest's lineage."

Ah Man was still sitting on the ground. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled again. "But I just can't bear to see him suffer such a loss. If he is unhappy, I will be unhappy too. As long as I can help him, I don't care about the rest of the world."

At the gate of the First-Rank General's Mansion, three horses stood side by side. Ye Feizhou was the first to climb onto a horse, then waved to his two sisters below.

Ye Wenyan nodded, chose one of the horses and rode on it, leaving the remaining one for Miss Ye Si.

Ye Chulian looked down at the three of them already sitting on their horses, and she felt a little irritated. "After the palace banquet is over tomorrow, I will start learning to ride a horse, otherwise you will never take me with you when you go out." After saying that, she looked at the fourth Miss Ye, "You have never met Princess Zhaolian, so you shouldn't go with her to pick her up. But you insist on going, and no one can stop you, so let you go! But you must remember that Princess Zhaolian has a bad temper, so you must not provoke her. Also, you are the second Miss of the Ye family now. If that princess says something bad to you, you have to endure it, and you must not cause trouble for the fourth sister, understand?"

Miss Ye Si waved her hands, "I know, Fifth Sister, you are so nagging. I am your second sister, I am more sensible than you, okay? You don't have to worry about these things, just make wine and aromatherapy at home, and leave the things outside to us." After saying that, she whipped the horse and rushed out first. "Hurry up and catch up, it will be too late if we don't leave now!"

Ye Feizhou had no choice but to follow quickly, fearing that his sister would get into trouble again.

Ye Wenyan glanced at Ye Chulian and said to her, "Stay at home and I will teach you how to ride a horse myself. You will be able to learn it in a few days." After saying that, he ran after the two people in front.

Today, Feng Zhaolian is coming to the capital. Early in the morning, someone from Prince Chen's Mansion came to Ye Wenyan and brought Feng Zhaolian's words - "Please ask the fourth lady to leave early and go to the gate of the outer city to welcome her. Princess Zhaolian said that she will not enter the city until she sees you."

Ye Wenyan got up early for this purpose, washed and changed clothes in a daze, and went out without even having time to eat breakfast.

Ye Feizhou was worried about her going alone, so he quickly took the horse to follow. As a result, he ran into Miss Ye Si while taking the horse, so Miss Ye Si also wanted to follow. The original itinerary for one person became a trip for three people, which was quite lively.

Miss Ye Si was running in the front alone, whipping the horse from time to time, making the horse run faster.

It was still early, not long after daybreak, and there were few people on the street, so she was not afraid of bumping into anyone. Ye Feizhou was walking side by side with Ye Wenyan at the back. Looking at the sister in front, he said to Ye Wenyan, "She was like this before. Although I was away all year round, I came back often in the past year or so. I saw her riding a horse on the street a few times, exactly the same as now." After saying that, he looked at her again and said, "I didn't think you were any different before. If it hadn't happened that day, I wouldn't have known that your body had actually changed. Now that I know, I feel that it is still different. Compared to her, you are more stable and more reliable."

"Then second brother, are you going to give the name Xiao Si back in the future? She is the Xiao Si, and I am the fake one."

Ye Feizhou shook his head, "She is not Xiao Si, she is Ye Lianmian, the second young lady of the Ye family, how could you forget? Whether at home or outside, you are the only young lady of the Ye family, and you are the only Xiao Si in my heart." He turned his head to look at her, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head twice, "Everything I have now is given by you, you have long been more than just Xiao Si to me. Yan'er, I will protect you for the rest of my life, believe me, there is no one in this world who is more important than you."

She shuddered when she heard it, "Second brother, please don't say that, it's scary. I'm the most important one, what about the Third Prince?"

Ye Feizhou also shuddered, "Why mention him?"

"Tsk, you're just pretending!" Ye Wenyan pouted, "Okay, I won't tease you. I know you want to say that even if the real Fourth Miss Ye comes back, my position in your heart will not change. Second brother, I'm very touched. Don't worry, even if you live in Renwang Mansion in the future, your position in my heart will not change!" After she finished speaking, she laughed, whipped her horse whip, and chased after the person in front, shouting as she chased - "Second sister, slow down, wait for me, second brother is angry and wants to beat someone up."

The person in front turned around and waved at her, "Hurry up! Follow me! Don't worry, I'll protect you, he won't dare to hit you!"

Ye Feizhou was so angry. Damn it, one sister like this is enough! Why is there another one? Does God want to kill him? Does this mean that there will be two people causing trouble outside? The witch of the Ye family has changed from one to two. Can he still manage them?

"You two ride slower! Wait for me!" He was really helpless and could only follow behind and pray for himself silently.

The outer city gate had been opened, and the imperial carriage of Guiyue Kingdom was parked in the middle without going in. The common people had no choice but to go around from both sides. After going around, they would look back and complain in their hearts.

Feng Zhaolian was sitting in the imperial carriage eating fruit. The maid who was accompanying her lifted the curtain and looked out for a while, then turned back and said to her, "Princess, it's still early now. Miss Ye Si can't arrive so soon. Why don't we move to the side?"

Feng Zhaolian rolled his eyes, "What are you leaning on? If not, just stop right here! When those soldiers guarding the city can't stand it anymore, they will naturally urge Ye Wenyan to walk faster, and I will wait for them to urge him!"

After hearing what she said, the maid stopped talking and quietly returned to the carriage to sit with her.

After Feng Zhaolian ate two pears and drank two pots of tea, she finally heard the noise she wanted to hear from outside. It was a soldier saying, "Quick! Tell Princess Guiyue that the Empress has arrived!"

Feng Zhaolian was immediately amused, "Oh, now they call her Empress and Queen directly? Does that mean I can catch their wedding this time? Tsk tsk, it has to be Ah Yan. She's so quick. She managed to take down the Emperor. Awesome! But I didn't prepare any gift for her this time. Isn't that a bit bad?"

She walked out of the imperial carriage while mumbling. When she lifted the curtain, she saw three horses running towards her. She also saw the people passing by kneeling on the ground, shouting "Empress Dowager."

The soldiers guarding the city were very sensible and knew that Ye Wenyan came out to pick people up because of his personal relationship with Princess Guiyue, so they quickly persuaded the people to get up and evacuate, and do whatever they needed to do. When Ye Wenyan got off the horse and stood in front of the Guiyue Palace carriage, there were not many people watching the excitement.

It has been a long time since she last saw her good friend. Although she always said that Feng Zhaolian was too talkative and troublesome, when they really met, her joy came from the heart, and no one could deceive her.

She ran forward, stretched out her arms to the people still standing on the imperial carriage, and called out with a smile, "Lianlian!"

Feng Zhaolian cheered, opened his arms, and pounced down without any hesitation - "Ah Yan!"

Ye Wenyan lost her balance and fell to the ground...
