Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time
Chapter 284: Assassinated Again
Ye Youlan looked at the Seventh Prince: "She really has become a spirit."
When the carriage was almost reaching the palace, it suddenly broke down and two of the carriage rails broke.
Ye Youlan looked at the Seventh Prince: "Does this routine sound familiar?"
The Seventh Prince nodded slightly. In order to ride in the same carriage with Ye Youlan, he had someone break the bars of the Ye Mansion's carriage.
He lifted the curtain and asked the driver, "Can you make it home?"
Li Zhi bent down and checked it: "Your Highness, this is natural wear and tear. For safety's sake, we should walk home!"
The Seventh Prince was about to get out of the carriage carrying Erbao, but Ye Youlan stopped him, "No, Erbao, Yueyue, and I are waiting in the carriage. Send someone back to the palace and bring another carriage."
The Seventh Prince knew Ye Youlan was cautious, so he asked the driver to return to the palace. He sat in the front of the carriage, lifted the curtain and talked to Ye Youlan, while Li Zhi and others stood around.
Anyway, there were not many people on this street, and it was slightly dark. Even if some pedestrians saw the guards with swords, they did not dare to look and just walked away in a hurry.
An arrow shot from the sky, catching everyone off guard, and hit the frame of the carriage with a thud, which scared everyone inside and outside the carriage.
The Seventh Prince shouted, "Youlan, get down quickly." He jumped out and looked around. Li Zhi and others also drew their swords and carefully looked around.
There was no second arrow for a long time, and no assassin jumped out.
Everyone relaxed a little. The Seventh Prince looked into the carriage and asked Youlan if she was okay. Yueyue was not afraid.
Ye Youlan was about to stand up when another arrow shot in from the carriage window. The Seventh Prince drew a long sword from the carriage wall and blew a whistle, and soon many guards arrived.
"Search the surrounding area thoroughly."
This is not an assassination, it is a provocation.
The carriage from the palace was late, so the Seventh Prince asked Ye Youlan to come down with the child in her arms. Yueyue grabbed her mother's clothes and entered the palace under the protection of the guards.
The Seventh Prince ordered the palace guards to search the surrounding area thoroughly and arrest anyone suspicious.
A busy night but nothing was achieved.
The Seventh Prince entered the room with a gloomy expression.
Ye Youlan poured him a glass of water, asked him to sit down, and the two of them chatted slowly.
"I feel more and more incompetent. Everything was under my control before, but now I can't grasp or see anything clearly."
The Seventh Prince was somewhat frustrated. Ye Youlan gently stroked his large hand and consoled him, "It's the enemy that's becoming more and more cunning."
Ye Youlan wanted to sort out the thread of events with him. As she was talking, she suddenly looked at the Seventh Prince and asked, "Did you check on the driver just now?"
"He was shot by an arrow and collapsed on the way back to the palace. Fortunately, he survived."
Ye Youlan was shocked: "Who in the capital wants to kill you now?"
The Seventh Prince smiled bitterly: "A lot."
"Think carefully about who we are most threatening to this time we come back?"
"Song Wen?"
"It's possible. His style of doing things is very similar to Li Zong's. He likes to do things secretly."
"You know him well enough."
Ye Youlan said unhappily, "I know you better."
Ye Youlan planned to hold a small banquet at the palace and invite her friends, with the emphasis on Feng Xiaoyu.
"Don't invite anyone else, just invite Song Wen and Feng Xiaoyu."
So the Seventh Prince went to the study to write a note and gave it to Li Yi, asking him to deliver it to Minister Feng's house the next day.
The palace sealed the news of the assassination that night and kept it secret. The next day, Ye Youlan took Yueyue and Erbao to the Yong'an Palace to reunite with her good sisters.
Yueyue plays with her younger brothers and sisters like a little adult, and even Chen Xiaoling's son, the only one older than her, obeys her command.
The adults watched and laughed.
The sisters exchanged some private conversations, and Ye Youlan suddenly asked them, "Did Song Wen actually cause the fire on the day of the accident?"
Ruoyun knew about this because Li Zong came back and told her about it.
"The boss asked Song Wen to copy an official document. Song Wen fell asleep on the desk. When he was found, he was unconscious. The candlestick fell to the ground and rolled next to a pile of books.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time, otherwise the pile of books would have completely burned up and the house would have burned down too. So he was punished by his superiors, and everyone thought he would swallow his anger, but in the end he quietly went to his fiefdom."
Chen Xiaoling added: "His father-in-law is running the operation for him, and he has already reported to the Ministry of Rites."
Ye Youlan became even more certain that Song Wen at this moment should be Li Zong reincarnated.
When Ye Youlan returned to the palace, Xiaomei told her that someone from the Feng Mansion said that Madam Feng had caught a cold after burning incense at Xiangguo Temple and would be unable to attend the banquet, so they would meet again another day.
Ye Youlan asked Xiaomei to pick some supplements and send them to Feng's house.
Song Wen went to the Ministry of Rites and quickly became familiar with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, giving his colleagues the illusion that Song Wen had changed a lot after his trip to his fiefdom, as if he was possessed by Li Zong, becoming eloquent and able to get along with everyone.
Song Wen was very surprised to learn that the Seventh Prince and the Princess' family had returned to the capital safely. He was also unable to contact Xiao Bao for a while, and he felt very uneasy.
When he returned home and heard that Feng Xiaoyu refused to attend the banquet at the palace, he felt a lot more relieved. It would be safer not to meet her at this time.
But he wondered why Feng Xiaoyu, who had always liked Ye Youlan in Gucheng and always talked about missing them, hid herself and didn't want to meet them?
Feng Xiaoyu was unwilling to answer his question. She just said that she was not feeling well and that the princess had just returned and must have a lot of things to deal with. She would come to visit her in a few days.
Agui called him from outside, and Song Wen hurried out. He didn't have his own study in Feng's house, so he and Agui went to the garden to talk.
Agui told him that the killer he hired failed to complete the mission.
Song Wen asked him impatiently where he found the lousy assassin?
Agui told him that it was in the casino, where all kinds of people lived.
Song Wen told Agui to find a broker to see if he could buy the Li Mansion, as he didn't want to live in his father-in-law's house.
"Master, someone has died in the Li Mansion. It's unlucky."
Song Wen rolled his eyes at him: "Looking across the Great Chu, is there any land where people haven't died?"
Agui said nothing more and went back to do his work.
Minister Feng didn't understand why Song Wen bought the Li Mansion. There were many high-end mansions in the capital.
Song Wen explained to his father-in-law, "The Li Mansion is a nice one. When the old Shangshu was alive, he was very particular about it. Most importantly, it's cheap. We can buy it, do some simple renovations, and move in."
Minister Feng said nothing more and secretly gave his daughter 10,000 taels of silver so that she could buy some things she liked.
Song Wen gave Feng Xiaoyu five thousand taels and asked her to supervise the renovation.
"How can you, a small official like you, get so much money?"
Feng Xiaoyu suspected that Song Wen's money came from illegal sources.
"My calligraphy and paintings are very valuable. I sold a few of them after coming to Beijing."
Feng Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and her dissatisfaction with Song Wen from the previous two days disappeared. She happily took Caiwei shopping.
I didn't expect to meet Qiao Ling at Rongji Gold Shop. She came out with Xiaomei to see the world today.
Ye Youlan told Qiao Ling to study hard with Xiaomei so that when she returned to Gucheng in the future, she could help run the store like Yunniang.
Seeing Feng Xiaoyu, Qiao Ling was very surprised: "What a coincidence to meet you here, are you feeling better?"
