Because it was sneaked out, Qiu He didn't light the lantern. You can either pro () or search Oh there is no moon this night, but the stars are very bright, and you can see your feet clearly without a lantern.

Qiu He took Ye Minwen's hand and crept into the middle of the road. The masters don't take this road on weekdays, and this road is specially for the maids and servants.

Out of the east wing, Qiu He began to regret it, in case he met a maid who didn't have long eyes, and was yelled out, he wouldn't be finished. She prayed to God and Buddha in her heart, hoping that there would be no one on the road. Fortunately, after walking through this long stretch of sandwich road, I didn't meet anyone.

Autumn Lotus is slightly relieved.

Ye Minwen followed Qiu He, looking very excited. "Sister Qiuhe, how are we going?"

"Shh Qiu He whispered to Ye Minwen: "Young Master, let's run out quietly, don't let others know about it!" ”

Ye Minwen shrunk his neck very cutely and lowered his voice: "I know what to say, Sister Qiuhe, I won't speak!" ”

Qiu He nodded and continued with him.

Finally finished walking the sandwich road, Qiu He breathed a sigh of relief, and took Ye Minwen to pick the path and walked to a small corner gate in the northeast corner, and few people walked. She knew that from there, she would walk a few steps to the small courtyard with wolves in the northeast corner. And although there are janitors in that place, they are more lax, so they should be easier to talk to.

At the second gate, the gatekeepers are all the princess's henchmen, and it is basically impossible to get out of there.

Because she was walking on a small road, with shadows of trees on both sides, Qiu He felt that her whole body was hairy, but Ye Minwen, who followed her, was not very afraid. is really worthy of Ye Yichen's son.

Finally walked to the small corner door, the doorkeeper was a fat mother-in-law, I saw Qiu He with a small figure coming over, the mother-in-law was sitting on the bench and drowsy, when she saw someone coming, she immediately came to the spirit, and asked loudly: "What person?" ”

"Mother Wang, it's me! I'm Qiu He in the eldest young master's house! Be quiet! Qiu He recognized this mother-in-law, who eats and gambles on weekdays, and is the most lazy, so he was punished to guard the door.

Wang's mother also recognized Qiu He, who was originally the princess's companion, she had always been a little stammered, and now she has become the maid in the eldest young master's house, which is even more of a step to the sky. Where did Mother Wang dare to provoke, and immediately lowered her voice: "Miss Qiuhe, it's so late, are you going to go out?" ”

I saw Ye Minwen behind Qiu He, "Big, big young master!" Mother Wang seemed to be choked by someone's neck, and it took a long time for such a sentence to come out.

Qiuhe whispered to her; "The eldest young master has something to go to the outer courtyard, please trouble my mother to open the door quickly!"

Mother Wang was just a low-level servant, and she had only glanced at Ye Minwen from a distance before, because she thought that there was no other boy of this kind in the house, so she called tentatively, but she didn't expect it to be really a young master.

"Hey! Ay! Wang's mother had a lot of questions in her heart, but now she didn't dare to ask a word. Took out the key and opened it, Qiu He had already stuffed two pieces of broken silver into her hands.

"Mom, don't close the door, we'll come back when we go, and we'll go from here!" Mother Wang didn't dare to ask for the silver, "The old woman must be staying here without blinking, waiting for the eldest young master and the girl to come back after finishing their errands." And the silver was pushed back.

"The eldest young master rewarded you, you can take it!" Qiu He pushed it to Wang's mother.

Mother Wang's recovery is down.

Qiu He breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, don't tell anyone about this!" ”

Mother Wang nodded like pounded garlic: "I save it, I won't say it to outsiders, I won't say it to outsiders!" ”

Qiu He was afraid that he would have a long night and a lot of dreams, so he was discovered, so he pulled Ye Minwen from the corner gate to the outer courtyard. She wiped the cold sweat from her head, and fortunately everything went well. It's a bodhisattva blessing.

It's not early, and the outer courtyard is quiet. Seeing that there was no one nearby, Qiu He was completely relieved.

She had spent some time in the storehouse of the outer courtyard, and knew the terrain of the outer courtyard, and it was not far from here to the small courtyard where the wolves were kept. It will be there in a moment.

Qiu He took Ye Minwen's hand, and while telling him to be careful with his feet, he touched towards the small courtyard. finally arrived at the courtyard where Ye Yichen brought Yulan to. The guards at the door didn't know where the road had gone.

Qiu He squatted on □ and said to Ye Minwen: "Big young master! This is it, let's take a look and go back right away, okay! It's not too early, if you come out for too long and are discovered by the princess, the slave and maid will have to shed their skin if they don't die. ”

Ye Minwen was excited and nodded again and again.

Qiu He was in front, Ye Minwen was behind, and the two of them entered the courtyard one after the other. Qiuhe had heard that the wolf was kept in a cage, but she was still a little scared.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw the lights shining in the ear room of the small courtyard. There was a shouting sound from inside, as if he was gambling money. By the light of the stars and lights, I saw four iron cages, three of which contained a white, black, brown, and yellow wolf. There was a cage that was empty.

Ye Minwen was very excited when he saw several wolves in the cage, and pulled Qiuhe's shirt to talk to her. Qiu He saw an empty cage and vaguely felt that something was wrong. I couldn't help but look around.

At this moment, a black shadow with a vicious wind suddenly pounced out of the corner. The wolf that ran out of the cage quietly pounced towards Ye Minwen.

Wolves are very cruel and cunning creatures, and when hunting, they do not make sounds to frighten their prey.

Qiu He and Ye Minwen stood together, and it instinctively chose Ye Minwen, who looked weaker. With his red eyes and sharp fangs, Qiu He could see it clearly, reminiscent of many legends about wolves. Qiu He was so frightened that his soul flew away.

"Be careful, young master!" Qiu He screamed.

Ye Minwen turned around, just in time to meet a pair of green eyes. Qiu He had only one thought at that moment, if Ye Minwen was bitten to death by a wolf here today, their whole family would have to be buried together. She has a father and a mother, and an older brother, a younger brother and a younger sister.

It's too late to regret bringing Ye Minwen to this dangerous situation, and she doesn't know where the courage came from, she stretched out her hand and pushed Ye Minwen, took a step forward, and blocked Ye Minwen behind her at once.

The steppe wolf's bouncing power was excellent, and he had a lot of hunting experience, so he threw Qiu He to the ground in one fell swoop, and bit Qiu He's neck in one bite, his sharp fangs pierced deep into his throat, and blood gushed out like a spring.

Qiu He desperately hugged the wolf's body: "Young Master, ...... quickly Run......" The voice was already indistinct.

In such a bloody scene, Ye Minwen was still a child after all, and he was so frightened that he screamed loudly.

The guards in the ear room heard the sound, put down the gambling equipment and rushed out.

There were a total of four guards who rushed out. They all fought with Ye Yichen, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this kind of scene, one of them followed Ye Yichen to Fayuan Temple last time and saw Ye Minwen. At that time, I was startled: "That's the eldest young master, go and save people!" ”

When the other three heard this, they were all shocked, Ye Yichen had such a son, if he was allowed to die here, Ye Yichen would have to kill a few of them alive. Where do you dare to slack off, immediately pick up the guy and rush up.

At this time, Qiu He had already lost his breath. The steppe wolf let go of Qiu He and pounced on Ye Minwen. One of the guards at the front saw it clearly, and he was in a hurry, and threw the sword in his hand away.

Fluttering on the ground, I don't know if it was his luck or Ye Minwen's fate, the sword happened to be deeply rooted in the wolf's waist.

The wolf is a "copper-headed iron-tailed tofu waist", its weakness is in the waist, and the vital parts of the wolf are hit by this, and the "woo" pauses. When he was dying, he also took a bite on Ye Minwen's leg.

Four guards rushed to him and took the lead in picking Ye Minwen up, Ye Minwen was even frightened and had already fainted. A sniff of his snort gave him a sigh of relief; "The eldest young master is not dead, he is still angry." The other three people gathered around, "Check it out and see where it's hurt?" ”

hurriedly checked it, and saw that he was only dripping with blood on his legs, and everything else was fine, and everyone was slightly relieved. Only then did one of the guards lean over to check on Qiuhe's condition.

"It's dead!" The guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "This beast is so fierce that he directly bit off this maid's throat!" "Several people are fighting a cold war for no reason, if it is not a maid who bites to death, but Ye Minwen......

Everyone looked at the guard in the lead: "What should I do?" ”

This matter was known by Ye Yichen, no one had good fruit to eat, but there was such a big thing, no one dared to hide it, the head of the guard said: "I didn't say it, hurry up and talk to Manager Ma!" ”

Everyone was secretly wondering in their hearts, how did the wolf escape from the cage?

The leader of the guards hurriedly sent someone to report Ma Fuzhi.

Main Courtyard.

Yulan had already slept. Ye Yichen was still reading the scroll outside. There was a commotion outside, and Xiaoyu, who was on duty at night, came in in a panic to pray; "Lord Wang, Mr. Martha asks to see you!"

So late? In person?

Ye Yichen put down the scroll in his hand, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. Yulan in the middle of the room had already woken up, and a lazy voice came out: "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay! You sleep on yours, and I have everything for you! Yulan saw that his face was calm and slightly relieved, so he lay back again.

Ye Yichen came out of the inner room and met Ma Fu in the small flower hall. He frowned: "What's the matter?" In the middle of the night, what happened? ”

Ma Fu wiped the sweat from his head that ran out: "Lord Wang, eldest young master, eldest young master, I was bitten by a wolf!" ”

Ye Yichen stood up suddenly: "What's the matter?" Serious or not? ”

"It's not badly hurt, it's just ...... Probably frightened and unconscious! ”

Ye Yichen's face was pale, and he couldn't change his clothes, "Go and see!" He lifted his feet and went out of the room.

Yulan inside panicked for no reason, and when she heard that the noise outside had stopped, she tried to shout: "Lord Wang!" ”

Xiaoyu came in with the curtain and said in a low voice: "The prince has already followed Mr. Ma to the front yard!" ”

I didn't have time to say a word to myself and left, and it was obvious that something terrible had happened.

Yulan calmed down and asked Xiaoyu, "Do you know what happened to Lu Dao?" ”

Xiaoyu's face changed: "You are now a person with a double body, the slave maid said, you can't be in a hurry!" ”

Yulan took a deep breath: "You say, I'm not in a hurry!" ”

Xiaoyu said in a low voice: "It's the eldest young master who has an accident!" didn't dare to say it all at once, so Yulan had a mental preparation first, and Yulan was really surprised: "What's wrong with the eldest young master?" ”

"The eldest young master went to the outer courtyard and said that he was bitten by a wolf!"

Yulan's head "buzzed": "How is it possible?" Isn't he in the East Wing? ”

Xiaoyu said: "It was the chief manager of Ma who came to tell him personally, and he should ...... Can't be wrong! ”

Where can Yulan still lie down, turned over and sat up: "How are people?" Where is the eldest young master now? Hurry up and dress me up and put on my shoes, I'm going to see the eldest young master!" ”

Xiaoyu didn't dare to delay, hurriedly helped her put on a jacket, squatted down to put on her shoes, and helped her out: "Princess, slow down, pay attention to your step." ”

With the starlight outside the sky, Xiaoyu didn't ask anyone to light the lanterns, so she helped Yulan all the way to the outer courtyard.

"How is the eldest young master?" Yulan asked anxiously as she walked.

"I said I had bitten my leg, but it wasn't serious. It may have been frightened and kept unconscious. ”

"It's okay, it's okay! Bodhisattva bless! Yulan felt that her heart was completely messed up.

"Princess!" Xiaoyu suddenly said: "The person on duty tonight is Qiu He!" ”

"Is that her? How is she? Yulan's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't understand the meaning of Xiaoyu's words for a while.

"She was bitten by a wolf and her throat was broken, and she was already dying!"

"Dead?" Thinking of that little girl, Yulan felt a burst of compassion in her heart.

"Yes!"

I thought of a key question again: "She didn't sleep in the middle of the night, why did she run to the outer courtyard with the eldest young master?" ”

"Princess!" Xiaoyu reminded her: "Autumn lotus...... It's your companion room, and it's you who arranged it by the side of the eldest young master! ”

"What do you mean!" Yulan's body shook: "You mean you're afraid that someone will doubt me?" "Ye Minwen lives in the east wing well, how could he suddenly run to the outer courtyard to see the wolf? It was at this time that Yulan replaced the big girl beside him, and it was this maid who ran from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard with Ye Minwen.

There are strange things everywhere. There is a more critical question: now that Yulan is pregnant, if she gives birth to a son, although she is also a son-in-law, but after all, Ye Minwen is the eldest son, no matter how good her son is in the future, it is unlikely that he will be the prince of the palace, but if Ye Minwen dies like this, her son will have a chance.

In other words, she had a motive for committing the crime.

This matter, no matter how you look at it, looks like a conspiracy, and the main messenger of the conspiracy looks like Yulan!

Yulan seems to feel like she has stepped into someone's carefully arranged trap!

Xiaoyu looked at her, her eyes full of worry. Yulan suddenly understood, no wonder Xiaoyu refused to ask someone to carry a lantern to light the way, she just wanted to remind herself of this.

Xiaoyu has followed her for so many years, calm and steady, shrewd and capable, and now the steward of the main hospital is nominally Mother Qian, but most of the affairs are handled by Xiaoyu and her. It's finally experienced.

Yulan didn't have time to be relieved at this time. She hesitated, as if comforting Xiaoyu, and more like comforting herself: "No, the prince treats me so well, he won't doubt me!" ”

Xiaoyu sighed and didn't say anything more. She is just a girl, it is enough to remind Yulan of these things, no matter how much, although the two have different feelings, she can't cross Yulan but give Yulan the master.

Soon arrived at the outer study.

The little maid just announced: "The princess is here!" Xiaoyu picked up the curtain, and Yulan walked in quickly. The four octagonal palace lamps were lit high, illuminating the outer study as bright as day.

The atmosphere was so heavy that it dripped. The chief manager of Ma Da took the lead, and there were four or five men kneeling at Ye Yichen's feet. In the case of such a serious evil in foreign aid, the general manager of Ma University is in charge of the outer courtyard, and naturally he cannot escape the involvement. On such a cold day, everyone is sweating on their foreheads. Yulan's eyes swept over and saw the guards who were guarding the steppe wolves that day, but there was only one of them.

Of the four little guys around Ye Yichen, only Chunjun was in front of him. The other three didn't know where he had sent them.

Ye Yichen stood in front of several men, his face was pale, and he was just halfway through his words: "You mean, Qian Qiang is gone......" There was anger in his voice.

Manager Ma saw Yulan come in, glanced at her, his eyes flashed slightly, lowered his head, and did not make a sound.

Yulan saw that the people in the room looked at her with a strange gaze, and her heart sank.

Seeing Yulan come in, Ye Yichen frowned slightly: "Why are you here?" ”

Yulan said: "What about Brother Wen? How can I rest assured without a glance! ”

Ye Yichen was silent for a moment, and said, "Brother Wen is inside." If it weren't for Yulan getting Xiaoyu's reminder before she came, she might not have noticed Ye Yichen's momentary hesitation.

Her heart was cold.

This man usually always says that she has a noble character, that she treats Brother Wen without a trace of selfishness, and trusts her so much, is it all a lie to her? Four big words flashed in Yulan's heart: Emperor's Heart!

Her mind is already sensitive, especially when she is pregnant! I just felt cold in my heart.

Yulan took a breath and gave a deep salute: "Lord, the concubine wants to go in and see Brother Wen, please allow the prince!" ”

Her words were very formal and polite. If it weren't for Ye Yichen grinding with her ears and temples, he could hardly hear the trace of coldness and detachment in her tone.

In the past, Yulan was not like this, she was always coquettish and foolish to him, which made him very happy, her main courtyard was like a paradise, no matter how annoying things were in the court, he could put all his troubles away when he entered that courtyard.

But now, like a hedgehog with all her spikes erected, she protected herself, with a faint indifference and unyielding pride in her demeanor.

It seems to say that she will not do anything to a child at all, not that she can't, but she doesn't want to!

Ye Yichen's heart throbbed slightly. He had only come over with a stick of incense, but as far as he knew, all the doubts pointed to Yulan.

Smart people have a common problem, that is, they are very suspicious, Ye Yichen grew up in the conspiracy pile since he was a child, and his suspicion is naturally heavier. These doubts could not help but make him suspicious.

There are wolves in the outer courtyard, only Yulan knows about it. Qiu He is Yulan's companion, and it was Qiu He who led Ye Minwen to a dangerous place, causing Ye Minwen to almost be bitten to death by a wolf! And it was precisely because Yulan had just changed the people around Ye Minwen that this kind of thing happened.

Ye Yichen is willing to believe Yulan from the point of view, but he is a man, not an emotional woman, and he has to talk about evidence for everything. He wants to believe Yulan, but he doesn't want to risk his only son!

Ye Yichen saw her doing such a big salute, and his heart was also tugging and aching, and he stepped forward to personally help Yulan up: "You ......" Why do you have to do this?

Yulan gently pulled his arm out of his big hand and asked again: "Can the concubine go in and see the child?" ”

What else could Ye Yichen say, he instructed Xiaoyu: "Don't help your princess to go in!" ”

Xiaoyu didn't dare to say anything, and helped Yulan into the inner room.

There were only two maids serving in the study in the room, and when they saw Yulan coming in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Princess! ”

Yulan waved her hand and told them to stand up. Walking quickly to the bed, I saw Ye Minwen lying on the bed, with a thin quilt on his body, his face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and his face was terrified. His right leg was dripping with blood, and the quilt was stained with bright red blood.

After all, he has been raised for so long, how can he have no feelings, Yulan's tears flowed down the ground. Xiaoyu was trying to persuade her, but Ye Yichen was not at ease and happened to walk in.

Seeing Yulan like this, his heart trembled, remembering that day in Fayuan Temple, when Yulan looked at Ye Minwen, the kind of maternal brilliance on his body, he didn't believe that Yulan did it. In my heart, I already deeply regretted the hesitation and hesitation just now.

He walked over quickly and said softly, "You are a person with a double body, you can't cry!" ”

Yulan wiped her tears and asked Ye Yichen, "Have you invited a doctor?" ”

"Chengying has already gone to ask for Doctor Bai, and it should be there soon." He smiled bitterly in his heart, when Yulan talked to him, he had already lowered his head and didn't look at him, just now...... It really broke her heart.

Yulan has already said: "Lord Wang! The concubines have something to ask for! Ye Yichen only felt extremely harsh when he heard the word concubine, when the two were together in the past, he didn't call himself "this king", and she didn't call herself "concubine", both of them were "me" and "me".

"If there's anything, just say it!"

Yulan said: "Brother Wen is like this, and the concubine has a responsibility that cannot be shirked. The concubine is now pregnant and can't take good care of him, so the prince still sent someone to invite the eldest grandmother back and take care of Brother Wen for the time being! ”

Ye Yichen looked at her stubborn little face, and knew that she was saying something inconvenient for herself. Ye Yichen never interfered in the affairs of the inner courtyard, and now he is Yulan's people inside and out, if Ye Minwen's matter is really planned by Yulan, how can Ye Yichen rest assured that Ye Minwen will be handed over to her to take care of again!

There were three girls in the room, Ye Yichen looked up at them majestically, they were all very clever people, Xiaoyu took the lead, and they all retreated quietly.

Ye Yichen was able to say a sincere word to her. A little helplessly, he said: "Lan'er, why are you doing this? I really don't suspect you! ”

Deceitful!

Yulan raised his head and said stubbornly: "Lord Wang! So do it! ”
