Chapter 454: The Palace (2)

Ye Cheng shook his head and did not answer.

And the little maid's body was slightly stunned, she was a little shocked, she didn't know if what this woman said was true or false, but it was better to be cautious in the palace.

After a while, they were led by the little maid who had ceased to speak, to the princess's bedchamber.

They also met the princess Pingrou.

The princess was dressed brightly, with countless jewels and hostas on her head, and a handsome face full of royal luxury.

"It's really you. The little thing said with some surprise.

This is indeed the woman they met at the poetry appreciation meeting, the woman dressed as a man.

When Princess Pingrou heard this, her eyes were a little evasive, she had some not-so-good experiences and some unforgettable memories at the poetry appreciation conference.

"I just want to see what my imperial brother's woman who doesn't think about tea and dinner is like, I've seen you before, but I forgot, and now I see it again, and I'm a little emotional. Princess Pingrou said, she peeked at Ye Cheng from time to time, always wanting to see this man who had saved her.

"Your name is Ye Tong?" asked Princess Pingrou.

"Yes. ”

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, I was going to eat at your brother's, but your sister-in-law kicked the two of us out. ”

The little maid was startled, looked around quickly, and then nervously closed the door of the palace.

"You really dare to say anything!" Princess Pingrou said in surprise, her eyes were a little big, very bright, and Ye Cheng's figure was reflected in them.

"To tell the truth, what's this, if the palace doesn't allow you to tell the truth, then no one in the world will dare to tell the truth. Ye Tong said contemptuously.

When Princess Pingrou heard this, her expression was a little lonely.

"Being in the palace, as a member of the royal family, many things are involuntary, and no one here dares to tell the truth, not to lie, but not to speak. Princess Pingrou whispered, her voice was very thin, and she could still be heard exhaling, and she felt a sense of relief, I don't know how long this sentence has been held in my heart.

"Since you say that this palace is not good, then I don't want to marry anymore. Ye Tong said lightly, then looked at Ye Cheng and pursed his lips slightly.

Princess Pingrou was a little shocked, afraid that she had said something wrong, and carefully pondered what she had just said.

"Maybe you're misleading, but I'm not alluding to anything. ”

"There is no need to explain, the eldest brother is the father, no matter how much I think about it and think about it, I need me, the elder brother, to make the decision for me. Ye Tong looked at Ye Cheng, his eyes were full of provocation.

She knew that Ye Cheng would definitely not let herself marry this place.

This imperial city is like a cage, imprisoning everyone in it as birds without freedom.

"Mr. Ye, I saw that your research on poetry was quite interesting and insightful that day, I hope that I can ask you to teach me, and you will have the opportunity to see your sister every day in the future. Princess Pingrou said seriously, and her tone was very sincere, not as domineering as the woman before.

Ye Cheng was silent, not wanting to say anything.

He was a little entangled.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Princess Pingrou felt that her tone was too heavy, so she whispered, "Mr. Ye?"

Ye Cheng raised his head, looked into her eyes, and said, "Princess, I think you are still thinking about it, there are many people in the palace who are more senior than me." ”

"Princess, the dishes are ready, do you want to serve them? The little maid next to her asked.

"Come on. Princess Pingrou said, and then she said to Ye Cheng, "Please go inside and eat together." ”

Ye Cheng nodded, and saw Ye Tong go in together.

This meal was very rich, and Ye Tong ate a lot, but Ye Cheng was a little difficult, and he had no appetite for anything.

He didn't even know how he got out of the palace, and he didn't even forget if he had said goodbye to the princess.

At night, he looked at the dowry all over the yard and finally sighed.

He should have thought that the palace was a good place, but it didn't allow anyone who wanted to be free.

And Ye Tong is a free person, if she is allowed to enter this palace, she will definitely be restricted by all kinds of rules and regulations inside, and then suffer all kinds of deceit and intrigue.

When I saw the crown princess today, I knew that things inside must not be so simple.

Later, Ye Cheng learned that the crown prince was just a figure who appeared on the surface.

The crown princess was arranged by the prime minister of the dynasty, and the purpose was to slowly control the crown prince.

So in the harem, even if the crown prince wants to take a concubine, the crown princess has the final say.

This prime minister controlled the government in the court, monopolized power, and often did not kneel in the palace, which was disgusted by many people.

It's just that those who are disgusted are slowly being eliminated.

Ye Cheng knew very well that the struggle between these powerful ministers would affect many people, and he didn't want a simple person like Ye Tong to be polluted by these things.

However, there is a surprise to everything.

This matter has been delayed for more than half a year, and at the beginning of winter, there happened to be a heavy snowfall.

The crown prince and the crown princess made a deal, what the specific transaction was, Ye Cheng didn't know, but the purpose of the transaction was Ye Cheng and Ye Tong.

The crown princess took Ye Cheng's disrespect for Princess Pingrou as an excuse and put Ye Cheng in prison.

Then the crown princess forced Ye Tong to marry the crown prince, otherwise Ye Cheng would be executed.

At the poetry appreciation conference, there were only two people who knew that Ye Cheng was disrespectful to Princess Pingrou.

One is Ye Cheng and the other is Princess Pingrou.

It's simple. The culprit of Ye Cheng's arrest was Princess Pingrou.

The two of them were very strange, why not the arrogant and domineering crown princess, why not the crown prince who was very deep in the city, why not the emperor, why not the prime minister, but the princess Pingrou, who looked harmless to humans and animals, and looked like a fairy, betrayed them.

In prison, Princess Pingrou secretly met Ye Cheng once.

"I'm sorry. ”

This was Princess Pingrou's first sentence when she saw Ye Cheng.

Because this matter itself is a conspiracy, no one will really be strict and torture this prisoner, so Ye Cheng's identity will not be exposed.

If Ye Cheng is discovered in this place, he can repair the wound in a short time, and it will definitely cause a sensation in the palace.

Ye Cheng turned his back and looked at the dark sky outside through the ventilation window of the prison, and a few stars were shining in the sky.

"No matter how dark the sky is outside, there are always a few stars that are radiating their own light, do you say they are tired?" Ye Cheng didn't know if he was talking to himself or to Princess Pingrou.

Princess Pingrou sobbed quietly, she was crying, "I didn't expect this to happen, this is not the result I wanted. ”

Ye Cheng chuckled, felt that this sentence was very funny, and said, "Then you say, what result do you want?"
