Chapter 286: Reunion, the sooner the better
Li Yu didn't say much to Ye Nianchen, but in just a few words, Ye Nianchen's face became obviously pale.
"Take care!" After a while, Li Yu didn't lower his voice anymore, he slowly took a step back, looked at Ye Nianchen carefully, and finally said these two words.
Then, without anyone urging, Li Yu turned around and went to where he should be now, without hesitation.
Li Zhi didn't say anything, nor did he ask Ye Nianchen what he had heard just now.
This is kung fu, there are too many things he has to deal with, and some matters related to Ye Nianchen are not suitable for a moment.
The latest news soon came from the harem again, the queen knew that the crisis had passed, and now that the palace door had been reopened, it had not been affected by it.
It's just that after Concubine Jiang learned that the second prince failed to force the palace, she hanged herself on the spot, and when she found it, she had no breath.
As for Jiang Guifei, she cried vigorously and begged to meet the emperor, wanting to beg the emperor to lose the second prince lightly.
On the side of the harem, except for Empress Jiang, no one else knew about the current emperor's situation so quickly, and it was Jiang Guifei who had a bit of luck.
Naturally, it was impossible for the queen to let Jiang Guifei be, and she had already ordered someone to put her under house arrest in the palace and guard her, and wait until the prince's side first solved the major affairs of the court before making a decision.
The palace has just suffered a major change, not only the protection of the palace needs to be strengthened, but also the security of the entire capital must also be paid special attention, plus all the relevant remnants of the chaotic party must be eliminated as soon as possible to solve all hidden dangers. appeased the hearts of the courtiers, etc., so that now everything has been pressed on Li Zhi's shoulders.
He had nothing to waste, and the bloody purge in the capital that was about to begin with the end of the palace change also made everyone feel cold.
"Your Highness, there are a lot of things in the palace, and I can't help much, so I won't delay you in doing business." Ye Nianchen quickly took the initiative to leave: "Nianchen will retire first." ”
"It's okay, you're tired too, I'll let someone send you back so you can rest. Other matters will be discussed after the situation in the palace is settled. "See this. Li Zhi nodded and agreed to Ye Nianchen's farewell.
Ye Nianchen didn't refuse Li Zhiren to send her, she knew that it was useless to refuse now, so she simply didn't waste that kind of effort.
All the way out from Zhengyang Palace. All you see and smell is blood and cold.
Even if the hands and feet of the palace people are extremely fast. But after all, there are too many places to clean up. Naturally, it will not be able to return to normal for a while.
Ye Nianchen subconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to leave this palace and everything here behind.
After leaving the palace, she found out immediately. Whether it is near the palace gate or in the entire capital, there are patrolling soldiers everywhere, the atmosphere is solemn and tense, and everyone who passes by on the street is not afraid.
I heard from the palace people who sent her that from tonight onwards, the capital will implement a curfew, and the city gate is even more guarded, and the investigation is very strict, and it is estimated that it will not be slightly better until all the party henchmen related to the second prince are sorted out.
After the palace people sent Ye Nianchen back to the house, they also deliberately told him repeatedly not to go out if he had nothing to do in the past few days, because the prince was worried about her safety and was afraid that those anti-thieves would hurt Ye Nianchen.
"I know, it's okay for you to go back." Ye Nianchen's face was tired, and after sitting down, he signaled that the palace person could return to the palace to resume his life, and there was no need to delay the time with her.
"That Ye girl is so resting, if there is anything, you just have to let someone pass the word, and the slave will retire first!" The attitude of the palace people towards Ye Nianchen was really respectful, and they saluted with a smile on their faces again and again, and then left.
It was determined that the person had left the Ye Mansion, and Zhi'er, Shadow, and Mrs. Zhou no longer had any scruples, and asked about the specific situation in today's palace with concern.
Ye Nianchen was in distress halfway, and it was even more thrilling after entering the palace, they knew a little bit about all this, but the details were still not clear after all, but fortunately, this would be their own young lady back unscathed.
Ye Nianchen drank a few sips of tea, but he didn't make Zhi'er and the others too anxious, and quickly explained the matter simply but clearly, signaling that they didn't have to worry.
After listening, Zhi'er couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said with a scared look: "Miss, you are really bold, if I had known that this trip was so dangerous, I wouldn't let you go alone!" Luckily, it's okay, fortunately! ”
The shadow didn't mention this, but he also took the initiative to say: "No wonder there were a lot of patrolling soldiers outside our mansion not long ago, it seems that the prince is worried that the remnants of the Jiang family will be strange and harmful again." ”
"It's not all like this, I'm afraid that today, the Jiang family and those who support the second prince's rebellion will all be raided and bloodied, and these days, the entire capital will be dyed bright red!"
Mrs. Zhou also sighed thoughtfully: "Although it is said that it is a king and a loser, in the end, I don't know how many innocent souls will have to pay for this power struggle and bear the price they can't bear." ”
After following Ye Nianchen for a long time, Mrs. Zhou's speech gradually became a little different, but this kung fu, everyone didn't care so much, and even Mrs. Zhou didn't realize it herself.
"These are not things we can control, Mother Zhou, you go and explain to the people in the house, now that the capital has started a curfew, the inventory everywhere is very strict, so that they have nothing to do and go out of the house less, talk less about those sensitive topics, and put safety first."
Ye Nianchen commanded, and he didn't plan to say anything to them again.
She is indeed a little tired today, obviously only half a day's work, but it seems that three years and five years have passed at once.
There are still some things that she has to calm down and digest by herself, and think about how she should walk next.
Mrs. Zhou quickly retreated, and Ye Nianchen didn't say anything alone with Zhi'er or Shadow, but only said that she wanted to rest for a while, and let them all go out and do their own things first.
Hiding on the couch, Ye Nianfa soon fell asleep, she didn't think about anything at this moment, she just wanted to sleep first.
She did not mention to anyone that Gu Mingyi had returned to Beijing. didn't ask Zhi'er if she had received anything related to Gu Mingyi, let alone ask Shadow to go out to find out the news related to Gu Mingyi, as if nothing had happened at all.
She had never felt as tired as she did now, and when she had actually done everything she wanted to do, instead of being as easy as she had imagined, she was only indescribably heavy.
She knew that today and for a long time to come, there would be too many people in the capital who would not be able to sleep comfortably, and they would not be able to be vigilant and nervous from time to time. Whether those people are related to her or not. But she didn't want to think about anything at the moment, she just wanted to get a good night's sleep first.
After a while, she really fell asleep, and all kinds of characters appeared in the dream. Appears messy and crowded.
Eventually, she dreamed of her mother and brother. She didn't dream about it for years. The face of the mother and brother gradually became more and more blurred with the memories of childhood.
Ye Nianchen felt that she was a little unable to remember what the dearest person looked like, and in her dreams, she could only see their backs, and she couldn't see their fronts by all means.
She was anxious. The more she tried to see it, the more she couldn't see it, and when she ran desperately in front of them, she found that her mother and brother had suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't see it anymore anyway.
"Mother...... Eldest brother...... Mother, mother! ”
In a panic, Ye Nianchen shouted loudly, but he didn't want to wake up directly from his dream like this.
"Awake? Got a nightmare? ”
The beautiful voice seemed to float from the sky and fell into Ye Nianchen's ears, making her whole person instantly become stable.
Looking up, Gu Mingyi was sitting next to him, asking her about it.
"You're back, and no nightmares are terrible anymore." Her heart softened, and she couldn't say how relieved and relaxed she was.
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside, Gu Mingyi didn't say anything more, and immediately made a boo gesture towards Ye Nianchen, and then quickly retreated behind the screen on the side.
Seeing this, Ye Nianchen naturally understood that Gu Mingyi didn't want anyone other than her to know his whereabouts, so he quickly cleaned up his mood and returned to his usual state.
"Miss, are you awake?" Zhi'er walked in and asked worriedly, "Is it a dream?" You okay? ”
"I'm fine, I've slept long enough." Ye Nianchen only found out at this moment that the lights in the house were already in charge, and it had already gone from day to night, and the hours were not short.
"Yes, Miss, you've been asleep for almost three hours, and seeing that you slept soundly, there was nothing to do anyway, and I didn't dare to wake you up." Zhi'er helped Ye Nianchen get up and sit down, poured another cup of hot tea, and said at the same time: "Miss, you must be hungry, I asked Mother Zhou to heat some food for you, and I will be able to deliver it immediately." ”
"When you say that, I'm really hungry." Ye Nianchen nodded, knowing that Zhi'er had a heart, but I didn't know when she would wake up, thinking that she would be able to eat at any time, so she kept it hot and prepared.
As she spoke, there was movement outside, and Mrs. Zhou brought someone a steaming meal, which was laid out after a while, full of anticipation and asked Ye Nianchen to eat more.
"Mother Zhou has a heart, you can go down and rest first, just have Zhi'er here." After they got it done, Ye Nianfa directly began to clear the field.
Mrs. Zhou quickly took someone out, and Zhi'er was quickly sent out by Ye Nianchen for an excuse.
"Brother Gu come out, there are no outsiders." Ye Nianchen called softly towards the screen, Zhi'er would not come in again for a while.
Gu Mingyi walked out, sat down opposite Ye Nianchen, and said with a little apology: "There is a reason for the incident, so for the time being, I can only come to you secretly, and I can't let others know." ”
"I understand." Ye Nianchen nodded slightly, and didn't ask too much about the reason.
"You eat something first, don't go hungry." Seeing this, Gu Mingyi took the initiative to say: "There are a lot of things to discuss, you'd better eat a little more, and only when you're full will you have strength." ”
As he spoke, he added some vegetables for Ye Nianchen to prevent this girl from continuing to be hungry.
Ye Nianchen didn't feel uncomfortable, he quickly picked up the bowl and ate it, and asked while eating, "Do you want to eat more?" ”
Gu Mingyi shook his head with a smile, and didn't speak, just watched Ye Nianchen eat intently, with a smile on his face, as if it was a happy thing to see her eat with such an appetite.
Ye Nianchen also laughed, but it did not affect the speed of eating, he was calm and quite elegant, and obviously did not feel that there was anything wrong with Gu Mingyi staring at him like this.
It's just that she muttered in her heart, starting tonight, the entire capital has implemented a curfew, Gu Mingyi is afraid that it will be inconvenient to go back too late, should she take the initiative to keep people after a while?
If you don't stay, what if someone finds out when you go back? If you stay, and you can't let the other people in the mansion know about Gu Mingyi's existence, then you can only place people in this house and spend the night with her.
Thinking of the end, her face turned red unconsciously, and in order not to let Gu Mingyi find out, she had to work harder to bury her head in eating.
"Chen'er, do you remember the half-year period I told you? Counting the time, it's almost time now. Luckily, you've pretty much done what you want to do. ”
Seeing that Ye Nianchen had almost eaten, Gu Mingyi began to ask: "Next, there is still almost a month of work to deal with all the matters in the capital as soon as possible, and we will leave the capital together in a month, okay?" ”
Ye Nianchen saw that Gu Mingyi didn't mention anything else, but directly talked about leaving as soon as he opened his mouth, which immediately reminded her of the words that the second prince Li Yu said to her alone when he was in the palace during the day.
For a while, she couldn't help but be stunned, and she didn't continue to eat, and her expression subconsciously became solemn.
"Chen'er, what's wrong with you? Do you think a month is not enough? Seeing this, Gu Mingyi hurriedly asked.
Hearing Gu Mingyi say again, Ye Nianchen came back to his senses, shook his head and put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.
"Brother Gu, if we can, I think we have to get out of here as soon as possible, the sooner the better!" She looked at Gu Mingyi and said quite solemnly: "It's just that now if you want to leave your body and retreat, I'm afraid it will be difficult, and everything has to be planned in the long run." ”
"You're right, the sooner the better. Chen'er, in the palace today, did Li Zhi tell you something? Gu Mingyi quickly understood the meaning of Ye Nianchen's words, which was what he was most worried about.
In the past, he had also reminded Nianchen, and Nianchen estimated that he had some bottom in his heart, but in order to take revenge, some things naturally chose to be ignored temporarily.
Fortunately, as long as Nianchen is willing to leave with him, no matter how many difficulties and troubles lie ahead, he will not care.
Ye Nianchen shook his head again and said, "He naturally doesn't have the strength to tell me anything else now, but today the second prince failed to force the palace, and when he was taken away, he whispered a few words to me alone." (To be continued.) )
