Chapter Thirty-Nine: Retreat (Part II)
But Chu Sheng didn't let Ye Shuangqian wait too long, and his voice sounded low in the imperial study again.
"Because the post house was burned down, the five-step snake was also burned to death. There was another murder in Chuzhuang, and no one could go to Snake Island to catch snakes, and I didn't want to go home empty-handed, so I asked her to go to Snake Island and mortgaged the jade pendant to her. After I went into the city to live in Secluded Mansion, she somehow found her with a jade pendant. The next day I went to Qingfeng Teahouse, and she said that she had also made an appointment there, so we went to the teahouse together. Coincidentally, the room she entered was right next door to me. “
Chu Sheng said this, without waiting for Emperor Ye to speak, and said unhappily: "This woman is very hateful, she stole all my money and ran away." That night, I could only find a broken inn outside Yeyang Town to stay. If she can be caught, she will not be spared. ”
After speaking, Chong Chu leaned over and said with a ashamed face: "Father, this time the child returned in vain and disgraced you, ashamed of his father." ”
Chu Sheng, the third prince of the Chu State, is a well-known filial son, and the entire Yunyuan Continent has heard of it. The expression in his expression when he entered the imperial study was also natural and sincere, and Ye Shuangqian couldn't help but look at Ye Changqing on the side, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
The Lord of Chu and Chu Sheng greeted each other back and forth, and the scene was very touching, but Chu Chao was iron-faced.
"The woman that Young Master Chu said is this person?" Ye Shuangqian waited for the father and son to stop talking, and clapped their hands twice.
Xu An walked in front of Chu Sheng with the portrait in his hand, and then another little eunuch slowly beat her away.
Green silk bun, a peach blossom pressed the sideburns, green dai's eyebrows, apricot eyes full of smiles, a flaming cloud flying skirt lined her white skin, her appearance was captivating, and she was heroic and sassy without losing the ridiculous and lively state of her little daughter.
Chu Sheng's eyes showed amazement, and then his face sank, and he said, "It's her." Ye Huang knows this person? ”
It is very appropriate to show the look of a man when he sees a beauty, and the anger of thinking that the beauty is a thief and causes him to live in a broken inn.
Ye Shuang made a move, and Xu An put a yellow list in front of Chu Sheng, and the yellow list was specially for important people from all over the world.
As soon as the yellow list came out, Chu Chao's eyes burned and shining, exuding greed.
Mo Qinglan's plain portrait is painted on the white face of the yellow cloth, and a few brushstrokes have not been able to outline all her charm.
Chu Sheng already knew about the crimes listed below from Mei Ping's mouth, but he still looked at it very seriously, as if it was the first time he saw it.
It turned out to be a play, so naturally it was necessary to do enough.
But when he saw the last one, Chu Sheng's face became more and more surprised, and his heart seemed to be pressed against a heavy stone that would shake, and his heartbeat also stopped as the heavy stone moved.
"All the lords of the Yunyuan Continent will reward a jade seal of the country if they catch this woman."
"This ......" Chu Sheng hesitated, pointing to the last golden embroidery tattoo, his gaze swept over his father's forbearant excited face and fell on Ye Huang's face.
"All lords." Ye Shuangqian said: "Including Huangci Kingdom, Rongzhao Kingdom, and Li Shengguo. I wonder if you are interested in Chu? As long as you catch her, you can choose the jade seal of the three kingdoms. Naturally, I am committed to them in the same way. ”
These three kingdoms originally existed side by side with the Yeyang Kingdom, and any one of them would immediately increase their own strength. Moreover, the royal family in these three kingdoms can also participate in the hunt for Mo Qinglan, as long as they succeed, they can take back their own country!
Ye Shuangqian really made a bloody investment this time!
"Emperor Ye is so generous, it seems that this person is really not simple. The people of Chu are small and weak, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it. Chu Sheng was embarrassed, and seemed to be a little timid.
"Ye Huang, Ye Huang. Our Chu State must do our best to catch Mo Qinglan and dedicate her head to Emperor Ye! Chu Chao saw that Chu Sheng was about to push it away, so he hurriedly stood up and said regardless of etiquette.
"Hmm." Ye Shuangqian said lightly: "I want to live." ”
"There are a lot of capable people in the Yunyuan Continent, although the Chu State only has the share of joining in the fun, but it will definitely spare no effort to help Emperor Ye eradicate this person, Emperor Ye, please rest assured."
The lord of Chu came out and made a round.
Ye Shuangqian nodded, and looked at Chu Sheng again: "I have a lot of confidence in Chu Gongzi. By the way, you've been with the woman for a few days, what's her name? ”
"She calls herself Qingzhu." Chu Sheng hesitated in his heart, but still said it. He knew that Qingzhu was a fake name given by Mo Qinglan casually, and Ye Huang just wanted to explore his own depth.
"Oh. Green bamboo. Ye Shuang said: "It's a good name." ”
But she was thinking in her heart: At the banquet last night, she asked the lord of Chu State, and learned that although Chu Sheng and Mo Qinglan had a marriage contract, they had never met, and they didn't even have portraits, seeing that Chu Sheng's expression was so natural, it seemed that he really didn't know Mo Qinglan. Mo Qinglan was afraid of getting into trouble, and he didn't tell Chu Sheng his true identity.
Interesting, so interesting......
Ye Shuang said that their father and son must have something to say when they reunited, and after finishing speaking, they ended today's chat-style interrogation.
Looking at Ye Shuang's departing back, Chu Sheng exhaled secretly, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his back, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I still can't get home." Then he followed his father to the side palace to rest.
But he never knew that what really made Ye Shuangqian completely believe in him was not his own words that he thought he was leaky, but that another person paved the way for his success today in advance.
Just before Ye Shuangqi received them, Mei Ping, who was responsible for sending Chu Sheng into the palace, quietly chose another path and came to Ye Shuangqi one step ahead after handing them over to Xu An, and reported the conversation with Chu Sheng along the way.
"Your Majesty, I infer that the accomplice who came to rescue the female prisoner last night should be someone else. His men inquired about the inn where he was staying, and the shopkeeper said that they had been there last night and had not gone out. ”
After Mei Ping finished reporting, he saw that Ye Shuangqian was silent, and couldn't help but speak.
"Meiping, I also hope they are not together. Chu Sheng disguised a thousand men and horses into the city in batches, and he committed a great taboo in this regard. But last night alone, the thousand people seemed to disappear from the ground, no, it should be eight hundred. He's really smart. Of course, this does not prove that he and her must have colluded. ”
Ye Shuang said, and continued to praise between her eyebrows.
"You did a good job this time, I knew that the group of people were all wine bags and rice bags, and you brought them back to me as soon as you went out. He is my most loyal guard. When he is summoned, if what he says does not have any place for me to grasp, I will listen to you once and for all. ”
"It is a humble honor to serve the emperor." Mei Ping knelt down and clenched his fists, flattered and replied: "Mei Ping dare not forget the grace of saving and raising her life since she was a child." Thanks to the emperor's kindness of a meal back then, Meiping and her sister have today's day. Your Majesty, the ...... of humble duties"
"Alright. It's all the past. You have been mature and stable since you were a child, and I am very relieved to have you by my side to protect you. It is necessary to thoroughly investigate the person named Mochen and everyone in the Ding Mansion, and yesterday's incident must have nothing to do with the person called Mochen. There is also the wind hunting in the building, this person still needs to observe more, go down. ”
Ye Shuangqian said, getting rid of the coldness of the emperor's majesty in the past, and becoming a little more homely and kind.
The little maid beside Mo Qinghan has long been bought, Mo Qinghan's every move is in Ye Shuangqian's control, the two of them made an appointment, she sent Lou Fenglie to supervise and obstruct, she didn't want Lou Fenglie to be injured and returned, only to report being injured by Chu Sheng. As Chu Sheng said, Mo Qinglan was next door, and Lou Fenglie either didn't know about it or deliberately concealed it and didn't report it......
Meiping's eyes were red, and she thanked and retreated. When he walked outside, he saw Xu An and his party walking in the direction of the imperial study. He looked at the dark purple figure, and his fists clenched slowly across his heart......
