"Old man, calm down, this matter is our fault, no matter what you ask me to ask for, I will promise you to each other, okay?"

"As long as we have our daughter alive, can you do it? You rich people are all the same! Don't think it's a big deal if you're a princess, our daughter is dead, helpless, there's nothing to be afraid of! ”

"Otherwise, you say, what else can I do but compensate? As long as I can do it, I will do it. Ye Zitong's attitude is very sincere.

"The two of us have only one daughter, and we are still counting on her to provide for us, and now we ...... What can we do with the two of us! ”

couldn't help the old man's crying, Ye Zitong and Bell Liuxiang forcibly pulled the old man into the hall, took two cups of tea, and the two drank carefully, the old man was always silent, Ye Zitong asked the bell about the expenses of ordinary people for a month, secretly calculated the use of the old people in the next few decades, and said a number that surprised the two old people.

"200,000 taels of gold, enough for you two old people to eat and wear for a lifetime, but please promise me one thing."

Although the loss of their daughter was the most painful, the two old men had never heard of so much money in their lives, and they were stunned for a while: "What? ”

"This matter is a matter of importance, although it is our fault, but we will also compensate you, so I hope you can not tell this matter."

"We know that the palace is so big, and we are afraid that others will talk about it to the emperor."

"It's best if you can understand."

Ye Zitong asked the bell to go to the money village and withdraw 200,000 taels of gold for the two old men, and bought a carriage for the old man, and the old man left the palace with his daughter.

The bell sighed on the side: "Actually, 50,000 gold is enough, seeing that they are used to being frugal all their lives, they can't spend so much money, and how can you use your own small treasury to pay it back, princess?" ”

"Forget it, it's the female worker I invited in, who else will be responsible if I'm not responsible? It's just that things that can be settled with money are not a problem. ”

In the following days, Yun Duo really lived up to Ye Zitong's high expectations, and took the female workers to catch up with the goods for half a month, and finally handed them over, delayed for half a month, but fortunately, the loss was not too much, and the queen's complaints in the palace were also quelled.

And these days, she didn't meet Chu Litian, he wanted to come to Yunju many times, but she asked the bell to stop him, and then he stopped coming to the wall.

Ye Zitong was annoyed by his attitude at that time, and he was also disgusted with his contemptuous expression when he mentioned the female worker, so he stopped thinking about him.

And after being a little empty, Ye Zitong took the clean-up team to the previous house and cleaned up with the clean-up team.

The yard was burned black, but the smell had dissipated and it was ready to be used again when it was cleared.

Ye Zitong walked in the yard, checking whether the house had any traces of burning, and when she walked to the place where the cotton was placed before, she suddenly saw a jade pendant, the jade Su had been burned, only a small piece of white jade remained, squatting down to pick it up, she saw a black footprint again, as if it was a footprint left by the soil before, and it was burned hard by the fire, so it was left there.

She sat on the steps and observed the jade pendant, and found that it was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be a jade pendant of clouds.

Ye Zitong was busy until midnight before returning to the palace, she handed over the jade pendant to Yun Duo as soon as possible, and said with a smile: "I found it in the courtyard before, I don't know which of your female workers, you can take it and ask them." ”

Yun Duo looked a little embarrassed, she took it stiffly, and squeezed out a dry smile: "I haven't seen this jade pendant, but I'll ask them, maybe it's their thing." ”

When Ye Zitong touched Yunduo's fingers, she felt her pulse very fast, and suddenly heard her heartbeat, which was beating very fast, she smiled and put the jade pendant in the palm of Yunduo's hand, and said: "By the way, the hot summer is coming, I saw that the female workers were wearing too heavy clothes a few days ago, and it is inevitable that they will be slower to work, you go and collect the size of the female workers' clothes and shoes, and hand them over to me tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay."

"And yours, don't forget." Ye Zitong patted Yunduo's shoulder and turned to leave.

Early the next morning, Yun Duo handed over the collection list of sizes to Ye Zitong, and after Ye Zitong glanced at it, he smiled at Yun Duo, and shouted sharply: "Come on, tie up this traitor for me!" ”

Seeing this, Yun Duo pushed Ye Zitong hard and wanted to run, but she was also prepared, so she got up and chased after her, since her mana possession, her light skills have improved a lot, and she can almost fly, but there are ordinary people all around, if she suddenly flies, it will be strange if she doesn't frighten them.

Yun Duo was very familiar with the route in the palace, and ran out of the palace in the blink of an eye, Ye Zitong hurriedly chased after her, and was about to fly up quickly on the street where no one was chasing her, but her wrist was grabbed.

"Zitong, where are you going?" It's a confused Chu Litian.

After only pausing for a while, the clouds had already disappeared, Ye Zitong roared angrily and glared at Chu Litian: "What are you pulling me for?" Don't you see I'm arresting? ”

"Who? Clouds? Chu Litian was puzzled, "What are you doing with her?" ”

"Well, I'm too lazy to talk to you." Ye Zitong swallowed his stomach and shook off Chu Litian's hand and went to the mansion.

Chu Litian followed closely behind her: "I still have something to tell you." ”

"What do we have to say between us?" Ye Zitong glanced at him, "You stopped me from punishing Zhang Ying, made me lose face in front of the female workers, and now you have ruined my business and let go of the traitor, what else do you say I can tell you?" ”

"My father is sick and the situation is not very good, so the queen let us go into the palace to have a look."

"What? Wasn't it okay some time ago? Ye Zitong raised his eyebrows.

"There are many diseases in summer, this time it is stricter, you pack up and enter the palace with me in the afternoon."

It doesn't seem to be a serious illness, Ye Zitong shook a cold face again: "I'm busy, just go with Zhang Ying." ”

"She's just a concubine, and she can't be on the stage."

"If you can't get on the stage anymore, she is also the favorite concubine of your eighth prince, and besides, she has been pregnant for several months, and she has to be promoted, so she can't be a concubine anymore, right?" Ye Zitong sneered.

"We'll talk about it later." As she spoke, Chu Litian had already followed her to Yunju, and instructed the bell who was carrying the tray to the miscellaneous room, "Go and prepare a meal, this king is going to have lunch here today." ”

"You're going to eat here?" Ye Zitong stopped and turned around, "My small temple can't accommodate your big Buddha, please go somewhere else to eat, and I will enter the palace with you after lunch." ”

"You're so unwelcome to me?" Chu Litian's face was raised, and there was a faint anger in his star-like eyes.

"Since you know everything, I don't have to say it so clearly."

Ye Zitong turned around faintly, but her wrist was caught again unexpectedly, she burst out of anger, and hit Chu Litian's chest with one palm, but Chu Litian didn't dodge, and after receiving this heavy blow, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

She was stunned, and her anxious expression was revealed, but for the sake of face, she had to turn her face cold: "Why don't you dodge?" ”

Chu Litian raised his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to really fight, you hate me so much?" ”

"I didn't hate it before, but I hate it now."

"Just because I protected Zhang Ying?"

"For your sake of being so ignorant, I'll sue you, not because you protect her, but because you don't know how to respect at all, and you don't understand that all people are equal, don't you understand the law of Anlingguo? Even here, killing is a matter of life! And the subconscious contempt on your face when you talk about female workers makes me think you're disgusting! ”

"Contempt? Where do I have it? ”

"Don't you feel deep down that those women workers are as humble as ants, and that they don't matter even if they die? It's not worth hurting Zhang Ying and your children for a human life, do you think so?! ”

Chu Litian was speechless, he was silent for a while and said, "Whether you admit it or not, this is a society where men are superior to women. ”

"That's true, I know that if I hadn't been born into the Prime Minister's family, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a name! But I don't think you should think so, I thought you would think that all people are equal like me, and you disappointed me! ”

"How can everyone be equal in this world? If you have the idea that everyone is equal, it is too naïve! Chu Litian's brows twisted into small bumps, he had never realized that Ye Zitong's thoughts were so weird.

"Nature can't be equal, but at least you have to see them as if they were like you!"

"How is this possible?"

"So that's where we differ, come back to me when you figure it out!" Ye Zitong entered the hall and slammed the wooden door shut.

Chu Litian rubbed his eyebrows, this is really a troublesome matter.

Witnessing the quarrel between the two, the bell asked in a hurry, "Lord, do you still want to prepare lunch?" ”

"No need, where did this king not eat? Still angry in this place?! Chu Litian left the cruel words and left.

The two were angry, but they still had to go into the palace together to visit the emperor, fortunately, the emperor's illness was also very strict, and the imperial doctor said that it would be good to rest for a few days, and there would be no need to go to court these days, and all things would be handed over to the fourth prince and the eighth prince to do, and after visiting the emperor, they met the queen together, and drank tea and sat at the queen.

"Eighth princess, have you seen the doctor since you went back last time? Sudden abdominal pain may be detrimental to the fetus. The queen took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Chu Litian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Zitong suddenly, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Ye Zitong only smiled slightly, got up and bowed to the queen and said, "Thank you for the queen's concern, the concubine's child is fine." ”

Ye Tiantong, who was sitting on the side, was dumbfounded: "What? Sister, are you pregnant? ”
