Ye Jianqing smelled a strong fragrance of flowers in his sleep, his eyes were still closed, but he said: "Qingyun, what flowers are selling outside?"

Qingyun walked to the bed and said softly, "It's Jasmine."

"Buy a basket." Little Hou Ye grunted, turned over, and a picture appeared in front of his eyes.The woman was dressed in a finely forged robe of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, her hair was full of emeralds, and her hands were well maintained. She was sitting on the Duyue Hall and plucked the strings of the piano.Next to her was a little child, with her arms tied up, squinting her eyes and listening.Suddenly hearing the sound of tearing silk, the princess stopped her hands playing the piano, stood up from the piano table, shook her sleeves, and walked out of the hall.The child hurriedly chased out of the water pavilion.I saw that the mist on Xiaojing Lake was getting thicker, and the lights and torches on both sides of the bank were melting and melting.The princess's long sleeves fluttered, she walked off the stone bridge, and disappeared into the mist of water.

"Grandma!" Ye Jianqing woke up startled and sat up from the bed.Qingyun opened the curtain, revealing a strange room.He was covered in cold sweat, resting his forehead with one hand, remembering what happened before he fell asleep.So he glanced around, but saw people outside the door, as if heavily guarded, and the sound of water and oars could be heard outside.

"Where is this?" He asked Qingyun.

"Your servant doesn't know either." Qingyun put on his coat and shoes for him.

"How is the house? What about the others?"

With Qi Rong on his face, Qing Yun bowed his head and sobbed, "When Nuan Xue ransacked his home, he jumped off Xiaojing Lake because he couldn't bear the humiliation. At first I was locked up with the people who went back to Liushanzhuang, and then I was blindfolded and sat The boat brought it alone, and it seems that after four or five stops of water, I saw Lord Hou."

Ye Jianqing felt sad when she heard what happened to Nuan Xue.Most of the good things are not firm, and the colorful clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is brittle.The clever Nuanxue has a hot temper and is not as good as the dull Qingyun who can endure humiliation.

He heard the back, and probably knew where this place was.One stop of the waterway is nine miles, and four or five stops is more than 40 miles. This must be Xuzhou City.Pei Zhaoye wanted to escort him back to Ganjing, no matter if he took water or land, Xuzhou was a must.

His family fell overnight. He regarded the princess grandma who was like a god, the Great Wall of the country, and the heavy weapon of the Great Zhou, and was forced to commit suicide in front of his eyes.Juelu is abolished, and life is taken away by killing. This is the means by which the ruler controls the ministers.But the Tian family would resort to such despicable tricks, it's really chilling.

When the master and servant were weeping as prisoners of Chu, they suddenly heard light footsteps coming from outside, and in the blink of an eye someone shouted outside: "Marquis An Ning, Xiaguan Dali Temple Shaoqing Zuo Fengmian asks to see you."

When Ye Jianqing heard his footsteps, there were still a few rooms away, and by the time he spoke, he was already outside the door, light and fast, and his kung fu should not be underestimated.Ye Jianqing hastily wiped away his tears and changed his calm face. Qingyun straightened the wrinkles on his clothes and stood by the bed with his hands down.

"Come in!"

Zuo Fengmian pushed the door open and walked in, the door closed behind him without any wind.He glanced at the room, stepped forward quickly, and knelt down on the ground: "The official Zuo Fengmian has seen Lord Hou."

Ye Jianqing stared at him, his eyes were about to bleed.If it wasn't for this person, why did he push the princess mansion to such a point, what kind of tricks does he have to play now?

Zuo Fengmian took out a few thin pieces of writing paper from his hand, held it up over his head, and said, "This is the transcript of Zhao Nanxing's confession, Lord Hou, please have a look."

Qingyun glanced at Ye Jianqing, stepped forward to take it and handed it to him.Ye Jianqing glanced roughly, and suddenly an unknown fire ignited.It's just nonsense, it's a big joke in the world!

The Zhao family and the Ning family were related when Zhao Nanxing was ten years old.At that time, both of his parents died, and he lived with his uncle and aunt.Ning Bancheng once asked his family members to give 200 taels of silver to his uncle and aunt, saying that the fortune teller had predicted that Zhao Nanxing would be prosperous in the future and wanted to marry his family.

At that time, the business in Ningbancheng was quite impressive.His uncle and aunt saw that Qian's eyes were open, and felt that it would be very face-saving to curry favor with the God of Wealth, so they agreed on Zhao Nanxing's behalf.After Ye Jianqing, Yuan Shangqiu and Zhao Nanxing got acquainted, they felt a little unbelievable when they heard this passage.Ning Bancheng is a profit-seeking person who never does anything useless, and has never heard that he has a superstitious hobby. Why do he believe in the words of a blind fortune-teller and entrust his only daughter's happiness and his own business to Zhao Nanxing?What's more, because of Ye Jianqing's status, he also knew that Ning Bancheng had a dark history before, starting from robbing lonely merchants and selling private salt.

So until Zhao Nanxing got married, Ye Jianqing and Yuan Shangqiu had been advising him to either delay or just call off the engagement.With Zhao Nanxing's literary talents and the two people's secret help in the future, it would be easy for him to be named on the gold list and become a general.No matter how bad it is, the three of them will walk the world together with swords and live a happy life. There is no need to get involved with people like Ning Bancheng.

It was also because of their carelessness that Zhao Nanxing's aunt overheard the three people's nonsensical remarks. How could such a thing as a divorce be possible!Immediately locked Zhao Nanxing alive at home for several months, and sent people to follow him every day, not allowing him to hang out with Ye Jianqing and Yuan Shangqiu.Later, Zhao Nanxing, who didn't know what to say, changed his mind, and was finally willing to wear red and hanging colors to be the groom's official.

Seven days before Zhao Nanxing's marriage, Ye Jianqing asked someone to deliver a letter to him, asking him to go to Plum Blossom Academy to talk. In fact, he and Yuan Shangqiu kidnapped him to disturb the marriage.As a result, Zhao Nanxing didn't come, Ye Jianqing was drenched in the rain for half a day under the fence, and went home with a high fever.It wasn't until the day of his wedding that he struggled to get up, thinking that the uncooked rice had been cooked, so he might as well go to congratulate him.Unexpectedly, I was weak and weak, and it was too late when I went there. As soon as I arrived at Gaosheng Street, I saw the top and side of the mountain on fire.

At that time, Zhao Nanxing had already sent Yuan Shangqiu away, and was looking for Ning Bancheng everywhere.Ye Jianqing didn't see him in the Xieshan Tower, so he thought he was trapped on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain, so he went up the mountain to look for him.

Both Zuo Fengmian and Pei Zhaoye knew about the latter matter.

Ye Jianqing pinched those few confessions, and wrote lightly: "This confession is not true, it is too different from the facts. How can Mr. Zuo believe his rumors?"

The corner of Zuo Fengmian's mouth curved.He thought that the young master was a dude who only knew how to eat and shit, but after all, he was no better than Yuan Shangqiu, and he was not so easy to fool.

"What does Hou Ye think is untrue?"

Ye Jianqing sneered and said, "Except for this handprint, none of the words are true."

He satirized Zuo Fengmian to extract a confession by torture and made a false confession.Zuo Fengmian also kept sneering in his heart, and thought to himself, what a dude who doesn't know how to live or die, do you think this is me trying to punish you, this is Tianjia wanting to punish you!

"Then, can I also listen to Lord Hou's confession and compare it?"

Ye Jianqing said: "I was frightened during the day, dizzy and dizzy, I couldn't explain clearly at the moment, you leave a pen and paper, and I will write to you myself when I feel better." How can I tell the truth in front of this kind of person? talk.

"Then the officer will resign first, and you will be in good health." Zuo Fengmian accepted the confession, made a bow and went out.Looking back at the door, he smiled bitterly but also carefreely.

There is a large square table in the hut, and there are pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table.Qingyun predicted that Ye Jianqing would use a pen to grind it later.But Ye Jianqing thought in his heart, whether he should write it or not, should he wait for Pei Zhaoye to come and discuss it with him.Such a big event happened in his family, and after thinking about it, Pei Zhaoye was the only one around to discuss it.

He thought of the five days in Jinling, traveling around with His Royal Highness Duan Wang, Pei Zhaoye's eyes seemed to have no affection, and a spark of hope burst out in his heart.

Ye Jianqing was looking forward to seeing Pei Zhaoye day and night and asking about it. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Duan Wang didn't know whether it was because of his busy schedule or other arrangements.On the contrary, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple asked for instructions early and reported late, and came to him every day to confess to the hall, which made him feel dizzy and headache.

This dragged on until the night of the third day, when Pei Zhaoye finally had time to come to Hongye Waterside Pavilion to see him.

At that time, the night was quiet, and he only wanted to ask the guard about the recent situation of Marquis An Ning.Walking to the door, I saw the candlelight flickering in the room, and a slender figure was reflected on the window paper.He couldn't help but gently pushed open the door, and saw Ye Jianqing sitting blankly alone, holding a brush dipped in ink in his hand, and a stack of good Chengxintang rice paper spread out on the table. The words did not fall.Hearing the sound, Ye Jianqing looked up at him, Pei Zhaoye glanced at him, and found that he had lost a lot of weight, there were two black spots under his eyes, and a white cloth belt was wrapped around his arm that he did not know where torn off.Pei Zhaoye was immediately annoyed, he was so busy these days that he even forgot to ask someone to send him a mourning dress.

Ye Jianqing shook his hand, and the brush fell on the table, and the ink spilled on the white rice paper, blurring instantly.Pei Zhaoye closed the door and came in, raised his hand and put the brushes that were rolling around on the table on the white porcelain ball Maopudie pen holder, sat down opposite Ye Jianqing, and said: "Why don't you eat well, and you're so thin? How can you not know that you are a thousand-dollar body?" cherish."

"How can the body of sin be compared to the past." Ye Jianqing looked at him with a sense of desolation: "Cousin." He called out in a low voice: "How is everyone in my family?"

Pei Zhaoye sighed, he has been very busy these days, so many aftermaths are waiting for him to take care of, and how many parties are waiting for him to deal with.Seeing the implicit look in Ye Jianqing's eyes, he couldn't help but talk about them one by one.

It turns out that most of the people in the Princess Mansion and Huiliu Villa are still safe, but their movements are restricted.Steward Yang was captured, but Jiang Xilie escaped, Nuan Xue jumped into Xiaojinghu Lake, escaped with a few servants in a hurry, and is still on the arrest list.When Ye Jianqing heard about Nuan Xue's death, tears welled up in his eyes. After hearing the news for a few days, the green willows on both sides of Xiaojing Lake withered one after another, and finally shed tears.The tree is still like this, how can people be embarrassed.

With tears streaming down his face, he said: "Your Highness, Jianqing is not an ignorant child, and he also knows the origin of the heinous crimes. Only such crimes as treason, treason, and disrespect will confiscate the house. The men of King Duan read the will to us the day before yesterday. At that time, those few articles were not enough to steal the house, and it was not bad to say that they were greedy for ink. As a princess and grandma, she has always treated her subordinates kindly, so that she can get together and leave easily, and she will never kill people to vent her anger when she disagrees. Zuo Shaoqing brought it It is clear that many of the confessions are false accusations, so please ask Duan Wang and the emperor to see clearly."

Pei Zhaoye nodded, and said: "I have always admired the character of the emperor's aunt. In fact, as long as you find Jiang Xilie, you can make it clear. Zhao Nanxing and Yuan Huaike both mentioned that Jiang Xilie had meddled in the Ning family. Do you know that Jiang Xilie Where are you hiding?"

Ye Jianqing looked away, shook his head and said, "I don't know. Grandma won't let me inquire about the princess mansion."

Seeing the tears on his face, Pei Zhaoye was always desolate, so he couldn't bear to push him too far, so he sighed and said: "I am very heartbroken and very sorry about the matter of Aunt Huang. I never thought that Aunt Huang would go that far. At first, I thought that there was still room for arguments and defenses in front of the father. Hey, the word "wealth and beauty" has been invisible to the world since ancient times."

What he said was a little out of place.He himself was also a relative of the emperor, so how could he not have imagined that as Pei Yongzhen Taizong's most beloved daughter, he almost got half of the world's golden branches and jade leaves. Of course, there was an arrogance in his bones that he did not want to be manipulated by others, so he could not bear the slightest suspicion and insult.Rather fight to the death with a sword than live with a jade, this is the character of the Pei family!On this point, Pei Zhaoye respects and loves this imperial aunt!

But when Ye Jianqing heard it, he felt a dull pain in his heart.He finally understood the meaning of success and defeat in the history books. Those who are in power, but have doubts, can set up a prison overnight and kill ministers to establish their prestige. No wonder others say that a man should not be powerless for a day.His backer has fallen, and his life and death are in the hands of others. Everything he says is nothing but self-deception.

Pei Zhaoye picked up the pile of soiled writing paper on the table, and said in a low voice, "Did Shaoqing Zuo of Dali Temple force you to ask for a confession? Did you know that Yuan Huaike, Li Zhiwei, Yin Buhai and other cunning officials have all been arrested. People live in the world, either for the name of the picture or for profit. These people don’t think about the shelter of the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion. Gradually, you need to avoid danger on the road. Yuan Shangqiu is dead. You have read Zhao Nanxing’s confession. What should you do? You know it in your heart."

"Shang Qiu, is he dead too?" Under the shock, Ye Jianqing's face was instantly as golden as paper.

Pei Zhaoye's heart seemed to be stabbed severely, and the fundraising land turned from sunny to cloudy. He said coldly: "This son of Yuan Huaike is ignorant and has a bad reputation. There is nothing to regret when he dies. Jianqing, don't worry anymore. Worry about this. In ten days, something will happen to me in the south, so I will take you back to see Father. Father hugged you when you were a child, do you remember?" He said at the end, reaching out to lift Ye Ye Jianqing visibly shivered with the broken hair on his temples, avoiding his hand.

Pei Zhaoye was a little embarrassed and ashamed, but he was very self-cultivated. He just smiled and stood up: "It's late, you should go to bed early and don't think about it. We will leave for Beijing in a few days, and the people in the Princess Mansion will be taken care of by me." , but if there is damage, charge it to me."

Ye Jianqing was still shocked by Yuan Shangqiu's death, and didn't even know when he left.In the morning, Qingyun came to serve the young master to wash up with water, and when the door opened, she was startled.Ye Jianqing sat motionless by the table, as if she hadn't slept all night, the candles were all burnt out, emitting wisps of smoke.

Ever since meeting Pei Zhaoye, Ye Jianqing has been ill.First he was shaking and sweating coldly, and then he had a high fever.Zuo Shaoqing brought a doctor to take his pulse and see a doctor. He said that he was mentally exhausted and the spirit was failing, and wind evil had entered his body. He prescribed a dose of medicine and left.Every day, someone would give Qingyun the decocted medicine.

Qingyun brought medicine in for the first time, and wanted to taste it first, Ye Jianqing struggled, waved his hand, and pointed to the flowerpot in the room, Qingyun poured all the medicine silently.

He didn't take medicine, his illness could not be cured for a while, and he was groggy in bed all day long.In the dream, for a while, she was hunting with Yuan and Zhao, the elder Yang Yu, and asking Liu Pinghua about her love affairs, and for a while, Yuan Shangqiu was calling for help to herself with blood stained face.In another moment, he saw the fluttering wide sleeves of the princess' grandma in front of Duyue Hall in Liushanzhuang, he stepped forward to grab the sleeves in surprise and joy, but when he turned around, he turned into Pei Zhaoye.Ye Jianqing let go of the sleeves in shock, and the hem of the dark black dress embroidered with Nine Dragon Opera Pearls slightly raised in front of him.He heard the man say word by word: "People should also know the opportunity. Zhaoye wanted to get rid of death for Qing, so he started to make up his mind, but Qing refused. Is it good for you to recall the bamboo horse?"

Is it good for Qing Fu to remember the bamboo horse?

Ye Jianqing sat up from the bed with a grunt, which shocked Qingyun so much that the medicine bowl in his hand fell to the ground.She hurriedly sat on Ye Jianqing's bedside, and touched his forehead with one hand. Her hands were sweaty, but the heat had already subsided.Qingyun repeatedly patted his chest, with tears in his eyes, choked up and said: "Thank God, Lord Hou, you have been lying in bed for five or six days."

Ye Jianqing came back to his senses, touched the sweat on his head, and suddenly smelled a pungent smell of medicine, looked around, saw the medicine bowl on the ground, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Qingyun, you put Bring that over and let me see."

Qingyun brought over half a bowl of soup and medicine from the ground, and asked, "Master Hou, do you want to drink it? I taste a little every day, and it doesn't seem to cause any discomfort."

Ye Jianqing stirred the medicine bowl with his hand, motioned her to dry up the soup, picked up the medicine dregs at the bottom of the bowl with his fingers, put them in front of his nose and sniffed them one by one: "Danggui, Yuanzhi, Shengdi, Duhuo, Fangfeng, Pangolin. What kind of nonsense prescription is this? Which quack doctor prescribed it, no wonder it smells so bad."

Qingyun's eyes lit up, and he whispered: "The medicine is not right for the disease, Master Hou said that the doctor is weird?"

Ye Jianqing also read softly: "Danggui, Yuanzhi, Shengdi, living alone, are you telling me to run far away? Fangfeng means to guard against Zuo Fengmian? What does pangolin mean?"

He couldn't figure it out after thinking left and right, and broke out in sweat again in the blink of an eye.But Qingyun seemed to have figured something out, knelt down on his knees in front of his bed, and kowtowed.Ye Jianqing grew up with her, called master and servant, and loves her siblings. Seeing her perform such a great gift, she was flustered for a while, and asked repeatedly: "Sister Qingyun, what's wrong with you?"

Qingyun straightened up, and said with a serious smile: "Master Hou, have you ever thought that if the emperor and Prince Duan wanted to punish us, why would they just assign these ambiguous charges? If they wanted to let us go, why would they carry out such a ruthless act of ransacking the house?"

Ye Jianqing's liver and gallbladder were torn, why didn't he understand what she said, "copying, copying, copying", since ancient times, "copying the house" is mostly accompanied by heavy punishments of "judging the nine clans", and Pei Zhaoye came to see him that day, and what he said was also terrible It can be light or heavy, and there is no real sentence.He didn't want to expose it, and looked at her with a relaxed smile: "Silly girl, you see that we are not doing well now, and we have no shackles. If we are relatives of the emperor, if we punish the nine clans, shouldn't the emperor and Prince Duan wipe their necks first?" ?"

There was no smile on Qingyun's face, and he said solemnly: "Master Hou, going to Ganjing is thousands of miles away, so there may not be no chance. If something happens, Lord Hou, please make a decision. Life is not for fame or profit. But that also needs to be alive first.”

Ye Jianqing shook his head and said: "Once grandma dies, I will be the culprit. If I don't leave, I will implicate you all. What if the emperor is furious and takes you to the knife?"

Qing Yun snatched the land with her head, and said with a heavy pause: "If there was no Princess Zhen Guo back then, the servants' family would have been killed by robbers long ago. The death of the servants is not a pity. The Marquis is the only blood of the Ye family. The princess must hope that the Marquis will live forever. An Ning Kangtai..."

When she mentioned Grandma Princess, Ye Jianqing's nose was sore again, he reached out to pick her up, and said casually: "I know, just play by ear."

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, who would come to rescue this unlucky Marquis now?Even his close friends on weekdays are in a hurry to distance themselves from him.What's more, as soon as he left, he absconded in fear of crime, wouldn't he be convicted of the princess' grandma?

He kept it for another two or three days, forcing himself to eat more every day, and finally regained some strength.On the tenth day, Pei Zhaoye came to take him back to Beijing as promised.

When Ye Jianqing walked out of the house, he saw that it was a small and exquisite water pavilion, surrounded by water on three sides, facing the market on one side, with dense forests, green bamboos, red apricots raining on the wall, green willows outside the door, and the spring scenery is so beautiful.

He looked up and saw rows of black armored cavalry outside the door, with bright armor, spears shining in the sun, and the weather was severe.His Royal Highness Duan Wang, who is leading the charge, is wearing a shiny armor, which is full of kingly demeanor.A short distance behind him was Gu Tingrang, who was smiling all over his face. He wore light fur and looked like a gentle general. He pointed his hand back and said, "Young Master, I have wronged you."

Ye Jianqing looked along his fingers, feeling a chill in his heart, he saw a torture chariot surrounded by black armored soldiers.He raised his head to look at His Royal Highness Duan Wang in disbelief, but Pei Zhaoye looked at him without any warmth in his eyes.

Ye Jianqing's blood suddenly surged, and he walked towards the torture vehicle without looking back.Qingyun followed beside his execution vehicle in shackles.The road was mighty, and everyone walked out of the city under the eyes of the people of Xuzhou.

When Duan Wang went to the south of the Yangtze River quietly, it was the third month of fireworks, but when he left, it was earth-shattering and vigorous, it was the end of May.
