Chapter 796: Pondering
"Go to Xue Lao, see if you can only ask for a Kong Ming lantern, today's Midyear Festival, since we can't put the river lantern, we will light a 'sky lantern'." As soon as it came to putting on the lights, Ruxin was instantly interested, and ran out of the yard to find the snowman.
And here, Ye Jinyu sat quietly on the stone bench, looking up at the starry sky and looking at the blurred outline of the dark clouds. The dark clouds were carried by the wind, and soon drifted over a long distance. On the way, it covered up the stars, the bright moon, and even Ye Jinyu's sight to the sky, but it eventually went away, or it became thicker and thicker, turned into raindrops, and then turned into snowflakes, anyway, it couldn't return to Ye Jinyu's sight.
On the other side of the wall, far away. The lights are still there, Ye Jinyu can imagine - there are people there, and river lanterns are being put on......
This year's Zhongyuan Festival is not as lively as in previous years, the whole country is filial piety to the old emperor, which is one of the reasons, and the bigger reason is that the new emperor ascended the throne, not to bless the world, but to have a feeling of three fires for the new official.
As soon as he came to power, Li Sui purged half of the old and new courtiers in the government and the opposition, and even Wei Mingyuan, the former prime minister of Shangshu Province, was also sent by him to guard the border.
Later, Li Sui searched Chang'an City on a large scale, not only raiding the homes of those "rebellious ministers and thieves", but also looking for the two princes who ran away. As a result, the eldest prince was given a hand of reversal, a horse's hoof, and someone still forced him to lie in bed for three days when he resisted for Li Sui.
And after he woke up, he killed people inexplicably, and he was also his own personal guard, and the whole team of soldiers he brought back to the capital, only an unknown soldier survived, until now, people are still immersed in this horror, unable to extricate themselves.
Outside Chang'an City, on the bank of a river.
A man in a green coat was squatting there, wearing a hat and holding a river lamp with a candle flame burning in it. And behind him, another person dressed in purple was silently waiting beside him.
Li Sui held the river lantern and didn't put it into the water for a long time, with affection in his eyes, as if he wanted to instill all his thoughts and sustenance into the lamp, but he didn't expect that the candle was about to burn out.
Suddenly, Li Sui asked the man behind him, "Yunfeng, who did you learn this martial art from?" So powerful. ”
Chu Yunfeng told truthfully, "Father." ”
"Oh." Li Sui nodded and said with a smile: "Then your father must be very powerful, and he can control such a kid as you." ”
Chu Yunfeng nodded, noncommittal.
"You say...... Is it true that every father in the world can control his children? Li Sui asked again.
Chu Yunfeng replied in a deep voice, "Although I don't think so, after all, the three outlines and five constants. ”
"Huh!" Li Sui sneered, "Yes, the Three Platforms and Five Constants, but I don't want to follow him." ”
"You are the Son of Heaven now." When Chu Yunfeng said this, he seemed to agree with Li Sui's words.
"The Son of Heaven should be more observant." After saying this, Li Sui silenced, put down the river lantern, pushed it into the water, and let it float along the river, gradually disappearing from view, and flowing to the end point where it did not know where to go.
On the surface of the river, the river lanterns are connected, and everyone is making their most simple wishes to the river lanterns. Li Sui and Chu Yunfeng were also among them, and at this time, they were also members of the Li people's lives. This world is so wonderful, everyone is the same, but everyone is different.
After making a wish, the crowd around was still so bustling, but Li Sui didn't call Chu Yunfeng together, so he walked straight out of the crowd, leaving only a lonely back for the crowd. When Chu Yunfeng found that Li Sui was missing, he went to chase after him, and it took a long time, but he didn't find him.
……
It was a small courtyard again, and Ruxin moved quickly, to the location where the snow sweeper informed her of the Kong Ming lanterns in the house, to install them, put candles, and light them, Ruxin only took half an hour.
"Your Highness, it's alright!" Ruxin held the Kong Ming lantern that would go with the wind at any time, and proudly displayed it in front of Ye Jinyu, "How is it?" I'm doing a good job! ”
"Well, that's good." Ye Jinyu responded with her, with a smile on his face, took the Kong Ming lantern in Ruxin's hand, and wanted to release it.
"I want to make a wish." Ruxin said innocently.
Ye Jinyu scratched her pretty little Qiong's nose, "If you want it, it's me who promises." ”
Ruxin pursed her mouth and puffed out her cheeks, "I installed the lamp!" ”
"Oh?" Ye Jinyu smiled, slowly approached, and pressed Ruxin's cheeks like a pufferfish, "But you and the river lantern are mine, what should I do?" ”
Ruxin was annoyed, but there was nothing she could do about the person in front of her. Seeing Ruxin smile apologetically, Ye Jinyu couldn't help but feel good, and as soon as he let go of his hands, the Kong Ming lantern slowly flew towards the clouds.
The two of them stood under the lamp, both hands clasped into fists in front of their chests, closed their eyes, and muttered quietly in their mouths that they would not be known to outsiders.
……
Ruxin made a wish with Ye Jinyu, with her eyes closed, her expression serious, her small mouth kept shaking, and she looked very serious.
After making a wish, as soon as she opened her eyes, a slender finger poked into her small dimple.
"You snatch my Kong Ming lantern, so that my wish will not work." Ye Jinyu pretended to be aggrieved and complained to her. Ruxin scratched her head in embarrassment, her Royal Highness still didn't blame her for anything after all.
……
Bai Mo didn't return all night, and Ye Jinyu didn't sleep almost all night.
In the morning, Ye Jinyu was in his bedroom, sleepy-eyed, half-confused and half-awake, when the door was pushed open. From outside the house, a white-robed man walked in, Ye Jinyu rubbed his eyes, and it looked like it was white foam.
"Any news?" Ye Jinyu asked, but saw that Bai Mo pulled off his mask, his expression was not very good, not bad, just confused, frowning.
Seeing him like this, Ye Jinyu followed up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Bai Mo didn't think about it anymore, but first told what he saw and heard, these are all things that the public already knows, such as the new emperor ascending the throne without amnesty to the world, the old prime minister Wei Mingyuan was exiled, and so on.
This is not surprising, but the last point that Bai Mo said is puzzling. globe
"The proclamation said: 'The former crown prince and the eldest prince are missing.'"
"How is this possible?" Ye Jinyu was surprised for a moment and shouted loudly.
"Your Highness." Bai Mo bowed to him, got up, and said slowly, "I was quite surprised to hear the news at the time, the emperor knew that you were there, but why would he put out such a notice?" It's weird, and it's ......."
"And what?" Ye Jinyu asked in a deep voice.
Bai Mo wanted to speak and stopped, but finally said what he thought in his heart, "I'm just afraid that this is a conspiracy." ”
"Count me?" Ye Jinyu stretched out his index finger and tapped his chest, very puzzled, "But who can calculate me except Li Sui?" ”
Bai Mo clasped his hands to his chest, "Maybe...... It's the emperor's ......."
"Then why did he ......" Ye Jinyu became more and more puzzled.
Everything became confusing at this moment.
One stands, the other on the edge of the bed. Even if Ye Jinyu waited for the white foam last night, didn't change his clothes all night, and didn't sleep in the middle of the night, he didn't rinse it at the moment. It wasn't until Ruxin called Ye Jinyu for breakfast that Bai Mo slowly left, and he had been thinking about it.
……
After breakfast, Bai Mo came to Ye Jinyu's side again, and this time, he provided Li Junci with the best choice so far.
……
Ye Jinyu sat silently at the round table, his eyes looking straight ahead, as if he was thinking and in a daze. Next to her, Ruxin propped her head and was drowsy.
"Da-da-" Someone dragged their shoes, the sound of a deliberate scratch across the floor. Li Jun turned his head and was foaming at the mouth.
"Your Highness." Bai Mo bowed to Ye Jinyu.
Ye Jinyu hurriedly got up, "Have you ever thought of anything?" ”
Bai Mo shook his head, he came back again, he wanted to ask Ye Jinyu a question.
"Did the emperor make any promises to His Highness?"
Promise? Ye Jinyu thought about it, and suddenly his mind was shocked by the scene when he asked Li Sui to ask for the title of king that day.
"The second brother promised me, in fact, I am coming." Ye Jinyu said slowly.
But Bai Mo couldn't wait, "What? ”
"I asked for a letter of land - Jiangnan."
Bai Mo fell into deep thought, his pale face highlighted an unprecedented solemnity, and his mouth kept murmuring, "Jiangnan? It's a good place, but it's not inseparable, especially ......" Bai Mo raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Jinyu, "Based on Li Sui's attitude towards Ye Jinyu. ”
"But what's unusual?"
Bai Mo shook his head, thought for a long time, and finally said to Ye Jinyu: "Has Your Highness ever received a handwritten edict from the emperor?" ”
"Nope." Ye Jinyu shook his head.
"In that case...... "Bai Mo muttered, this is the first time he has thought about it in the past two days.
"Your Highness, we have to find a way to get out first." White foam proposed.
"But ......" Ye Jinyu spread out his hand, "There are guards guarding the gate of the mansion, and the courtyard wall is so high, how can you get out?" ”
"Half-style lotus flower step, I can take His Highness out of this mansion."
"But that time ......"
Bai Mo slowly spoke again, "Tools...... Authentic ......"
The two sat down and saw Ruxin asleep. Bai Mo wanted to wake him up, but Ye Jinyu stretched out his hand to stop him, shaking his head to indicate that Bai Mo was not in the way, and Bai Mo had no choice but to nod. The two discussed for a long time, and finally finalized the plan, and on the side, the sleepy-eyed Ruxin fell asleep in a daze, and vaguely heard the two discussing something.
……
In the past few days, Li Sui has been running every day to ask about Ye Jinyu's situation. Basically, after the morning court, Ye Jinyu had breakfast.
Ye Jinyu greeted him with a smile every time, and Li Sui also brought him some small things from time to time, such as jade pendants, incense sachets and other objects.
Ye Jinyu didn't ask Li Sui why he didn't let him out of the house, nor did he secretly complain about his bad words, all of them were carefully buried in his heart, not known to outsiders, at most only one or two more intimate people knew - Bai Mo and Ruxin, as for the snow sweeper who had a good impression of him, he was also excluded at the moment.
The plan he discussed with Bai Mo a few days ago has also been put on the agenda. Recently, at night, Bai Mo would always bypass those fine eyeliner and run out of the house, bringing Ye Jinyu parts one by one, or a wooden handle, or a small shovel, and when lucky, even a large plowshare, all of which were preparing for their plans.
Of course, not every day is as smooth as imagined, and it is not uncommon for you to break through the eyeliner, and it is not uncommon for foam to go out.
The plan is set for two days, but I don't know when it will start. They were going to start digging from behind the rockery next to the pool, because it was close to the street and they would be able to get out of the house in a few hours. And since this mansion was inspected by Bai Mo, they found that he was next to the original prison, only two streets away from the city wall, and he could go straight out of the city by crossing it, so they changed their destination.
