Chapter 14: Mystery
Ye Qingyuan was ordered to be in danger, and it was only two days from appointment to departure, and Shen Li was pregnant, so it was not appropriate to work more.
Ye Jinqing still remembers that not long before she was about to leave, she and her father also played side chess. At that time, Ye Qingyuan didn't explain much, and only said in the end that he had something to find his aunt and grandmother.
The aunt and grandmother refer to Ye Xinlan, the current queen of the Great Yuan Dynasty. For this aunt, Ye Jinqing is rarely seen, and even if she does, she has seen it from afar at various celebrations.
Ye Xinlan, who has no pets and no children, has been living in the palace in a simple way, and in recent years, she has rarely appeared at the ceremony, and Ye Qingyuan has never taken the initiative to mention that she wants to visit this aunt. Ye Qingyuan abruptly mentioned this matter before leaving, Ye Jinqing felt very weird, and wanted to ask something, but Ye Qingyuan only touched her head, and then explained a few words to Shen Li and left in a hurry.
Although Ye Jinqing was a little worried at the time, he didn't think much about it after Ye Qingyuan sent a letter writing down the small things along the way to his home.
But now, it has been more than half a month since the last letter, and Ye Jinqing has never received a letter again. Afraid that Shen Li would also be worried and his health would not be good, Ye Jinqing secretly imitated Ye Qingyuan's notes.
Others can't distinguish the difference between this handwriting, but it is absolutely impossible to deceive Shen Li, who has been with Ye Qingyuan for more than ten years. In the end, what was delivered to Shen Li was a letter that was knocked over by tea and blurred in handwriting. But this method can only be used once, and if you use Shen Li again, you will be suspicious.
Ye Jinqing buried her head in front of her knees in distress, she really didn't know what to do now. Due to Ye Qingyuan's deliberate cultivation, although Ye Jinqing is only nine years old and is a daughter, she has a keen reaction to the bright currents and undercurrents in the court.
Ye Jinqing, who was nesting on the small couch, was already a little messy due to her lying posture, and it was obviously the middle of winter, and the warm kang in the study was not very hot, but fine and dense beads of sweat appeared on Ye Jinqing's small nose, and there was a hidden fear in the depths of her always cold pupils.
She clearly felt that a conspiracy against the Ye family was slowly approaching, and she couldn't even sleep peacefully at night these days, only in this study that belonged to Ye Qingyuan, she could sleep peacefully for a while. This indescribable fear has deepened day by day, but at the age of nine, she can't do anything, and she can't even find someone to talk to.
The father is absent, the mother is pregnant, and the brother is in the army. Senior brother, thinking of this, Ye Jinqing smiled bitterly again, and slowly withdrew this thought, senior brother was very good to her, but she didn't dare to bet. can only accompany Shen Li in this house, waiting, waiting for the conspiracy to slowly close the net.
At this time, Ye Jinqing very much hoped that she was an ordinary nine-year-old girl, sometimes ignorance is a blessing.
Wu'er gently pushed open the door and saw that Ye Jinqing on the couch had curled up and fallen asleep, so he unfolded a quilt in his hand and gently covered her.
Early the next morning, Ye Jinqing and Shen Li were having breakfast, but when they heard Shen Li's exclamation, Ye Jinqing nervously put down the chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong with my mother, but I have to ask someone to call the doctor."
Shen Li was a little surprised at first, but when she heard her daughter's inquiry, she smiled and said nothing, took Ye Jinqing's hand, and gently put it on her bulging belly.
Ye Jinqing felt that his hand was gently kicked through his stomach. Stunned for a moment, Shen Li put his hand on Ye Jinqing's hand and whispered, "Brother, this is your sister." When Ye Jinqing heard this, a big smile bloomed on her delicate face, sweeping away the hidden worries of the past few days, but she was secretly determined to protect her mother and younger brother.
After finishing the meal, Ye Jinqing hurriedly retired to Shen Li and went to Ye Qingyuan's study.
This time, Ye Jinqing did not curl up on the couch as depressed as he did to the sun. If her hidden worries are not wrong now, her father's long journey and the interruption of the letter are all the conspiracy against Ye Fu that is approaching step by step, Ye Jinqing does not believe that Ye Qingyuan, who is in the bureau, will not find out.
Therefore, although her father was called to leave in a hurry at that time, she and her mother still stayed in Jinyang, and her father would not ignore her and her mother. The layout should also know this, so she and her mother are also an important chess piece to contain her father.
In order to protect them, Daddy will definitely have a back hand, which must also be expected by the layout. Daddy and the arranger quietly come and go, in the real and the false, if you can hide the back hand that the arranger can still leave, you must also hide them first. And what she has to do now is to find out the real backhand left by that father.
Ye Jinqing slowly paced in the study, and she carefully scrutinized the qiē in the study. She always had a feeling that if her father had a back hand, it would definitely be found in this study, maybe this is the wonderful bond between flesh and blood.
Three days have passed, Ye Jinqing has explored all the places in the study that can hide mysteries, and she has also flipped through the books that Ye Qingyuan usually likes to read, but there is nothing. Ye Jinqing was impatiently spinning in the study, and the rings on her body also made a crisp collision sound as she had to move, it must have been something she thought wrong, or she ignored something. She stopped, trying to calm herself, and with her clear eyes open, she looked at the things and things in the study.
Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a piece of jade on the Duobao Pavilion. It was a piece of jade that Daddy personally retrieved a few years ago. Jade itself is not rare, but it is better than it is uncarved and strangely shaped. Dad said it was like the first wave of bamboo shoots after the rain, but my mother said it was a cabbage, but at that time she said it was like a lying puppy.
Ye Jinqing called Wu'er and asked her to move a chair and put it next to Duobao Pavilion. Wu'er thought that she was going to get the things on the Duobao Pavilion, so she said: "Which slave and maid does the young lady want to get it, you are careful to climb up and down." ”
"No need, Wu'er, you put the chair away and go out." Seeing Ye Jinqing's resolute attitude, Wu'er knew her temper, so she didn't say anything more, and after closing the door, she listened attentively to the movements in the house.
After Wu'er went out, Ye Jinqing lifted her long skirt and stepped on the chair. Standing on the chair, she carefully examined the piece of jade, and after a while, she climbed down from the chair again and came to the desk, and climbed up with a little effort to sit on the chair that Ye Qingyuan often sits.
From a distance, Ye Jinqing, who was placed between the tables and chairs, was extremely petite. The table and chairs were too big for her.
I saw Ye Jinqing, who was sitting, suddenly chuckled with relief. When Ye Jinqing wasn't smiling, his cold temperament was very similar to Ye Qingyuan. And once she smiled, it was more of Shen Li's shadow, as bright as a peach blossom.
In fact, what her mother, father, and she said are all right. Standing and watching its line, its line is like a cabbage, sitting and watching its line, its line is like a spring bamboo shoot, looking up and looking at its line, its line is like a lying dog. The three people look at things from different angles, and the shape of natural things in their eyes is also different. She has always started from her own perspective of seeing things, and of course she can't find the mystery left by her father.
