Chapter 720: Status
On the seventh day of the fourth month, King An and those important guests who were determined to participate in the crown ceremony went to the Taoist temple to agree on the specific time of the crown ceremony the next day.
An Wang set off before dawn, Ye Yuanxi looked at the empty position around her, the temperature there was gradually cold, and she was completely sleepy.
It was as if a bloody hole had opened in her heart, and the cold wind poured in from time to time, freezing all her emotions.
When ordinary women encounter this kind of thing, for the sake of self-esteem and honor, they will cry bitterly and make a big fuss when they fight to die. But she couldn't do it, she escaped once, but she couldn't escape the second time, she knew that she was to blame, and she was not qualified to cry about it.
The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the room, and Qingyun ran in cautiously, looking back from time to time for fear that the prince would come back.
At last I ran to the bedside, and when I saw the girl lying there, numb and calm, like a wooden man without flesh and blood and emotions, I immediately felt pity.
"Auntie, girl......" Qingyun's eyes were red as soon as she spoke, thinking of the humiliation that the girl had suffered in the past few days, if she could succeed, it would be fine, if she failed again, wouldn't the girl sacrifice her innocence in vain.
"You must take care of yourself...... Qingyun went to shake her hand, but she was thrown away as soon as she ran into it, Ye Yuanxi glanced at her coldly, "Is it a letter from my father again?" β
A trace of hurt flashed in Qingyun's eyes, but more of it was distressed, "Yes, yes, the letter said that those who were secretly watching the Ye family have withdrawn, and the mansion is safe for the time being, and the girl is told to act more cautiously." Girl, don't worry, we can ......"
"I've reached this point, so why not be in a hurry." Ye Yuanxi's face showed mockery, "His Royal Highness King An came to Yingcheng this time, although it was to assist the Hou Ye in performing the crown ceremony, but I listened to him, I am afraid that I will stay here for ten days and half a month." β
"Girl, this has come to this, you must relax......"
"How can I relax?" Ye Yuanxi glanced at her again, and said coldly: "Master Hou has noticed the Ye family, and he will definitely try his best to investigate, and if the people of the Ye family are withdrawn, there will be other actions that we can't prevent." It's safer to deal with this matter as much as possible, but tomorrow is the Hou Ye's crown ceremony......"
Ye Yuanxi lowered his eyelids and thought about it, and only spoke again after a long time: "There are many guests on the day of the crown ceremony, and the defense is also very important, and there will be a lot of people around the Hou Ye, so it is not a good time to start." β
"What does that girl mean?" Qingyun suddenly thought of something, "The slave maid heard that on the day of the crown ceremony, because there was no proper hostess in the house, other ladies were not allowed to participate. At that time, most of the guards in the mansion will be deployed to the Taoist temple, and the guards in the mansion will be lax, and we will have the opportunity to restrain Miss Ye first. β
"The last plan has failed, do you really think they won't do anything?" Ye Yuanxi sat up, his smooth porcelain white shoulders were like fine porcelain, but the fly in the ointment was that there were a few flaws on this porcelain.
Qingyun's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly took the clothes on the hanger and put them on for her.
"After the crown ceremony, we will act." Ye Yuanxi shrank her shoulders suddenly, as if she didn't mind anyone else having any contact with her, and quickly snatched her clothes and put them on herself.
Qingyun's hands froze in mid-air, looking at such a girl who rejected people thousands of miles away, she was suddenly choked up and speechless.
Before noon, Ye Jinyu received a message from the lark, and the Hou Ye invited her to go to the Shen Pavilion for dinner. But Ye Jinyu felt that she hadn't calmed down yet, so she had the courage to refuse.
I thought it was just a dying struggle, or after some entanglement, she still had to go to the Shen Pavilion. Unexpectedly, the lark went back to reply, and after a while, he came over to tell her that Hou Ye agreed.
Ye Jinyu stared at him in astonishment for a long moment before waving his hand to let him retreat.
"Girl, I heard that the person selected for the Hou Ye crown ceremony this time is the second young master of the Yuan family." Ling Zhao said next to her.
"Yuan Zhi Yuan Gongzi?" Ye Jinyu confirmed to her in surprise.
Ling Zhao nodded, "Yes, I remember that the third girl Yuan has always been hostile to you, but I didn't expect that the person who praised the crown this time chose someone from the Yuan family, wouldn't it be so that outsiders would know that the Hou Ye valued the Yuan family." After that, wouldn't that Yuan San girl be even more arrogant! β
Ye Jinyu laughed indifferently, "I'm afraid that she will do something, we won't take the initiative to provoke her, and try to avoid associating with her, what kind of moth can she make." β
Ling Zhao echoed: "You are right, Master Hou has put a lot of thought into the girl's safety. That Yuan San girl still wants to do something to you, but I'm afraid that before I can get close to you, I will be solved by the secret guard. β
Ye Jinyu squinted over, his eyes became very dangerous, and he asked with a smile: "How many times have you been to the Shen Pavilion recently?" β
Ling Zhao blinked inexplicably, carefully counting the number of times he went to the Shen Pavilion in his heart, after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then looked at the girl's eyes became cold, and immediately stood up straight and explained: "Girl, Ling Zhao's loyalty to you can be seen in the world, and he has never deceived you for the sake of the Hou Ye. β
Ye Jinyu snorted coldly, his eyes warmed up slightly, but he still said: "You won't deceive me, but your behavior of always speaking for Hou Ye has made me very dissatisfied recently." β
Ling Zhao glared in shock, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Girl, I can't bear to see you worrying about the affairs of the Hou Ye every day......
"Stop your clichΓ©s, don't praise your marquis in front of me recently, otherwise your friendship will be over." Ye Jinyu raised his hand and pulled it on his mouth, and made a gesture to her to shut up.
Although Ling Zhao couldn't understand the meaning of the last few words, he could also feel that the girl's warning was very serious, so he immediately nodded violently and pursed his mouth very cooperatively.
"By the way, is there any news from Miaoyin in the past two days?" After Ye Jinyu finished gossiping with her, he changed the topic seriously.
Ling Zhao also said with a straight face: "No, has Miss Qin returned to her parents' house?" Why haven't you come back for so long. β
After listening to her doubts, Ye Jinyu suddenly reacted that not many people knew about Zhou Si and Xing Jing.
I don't know what happened to Zhou Si now? Can he wake up, and how many things does he know? classic
It was probably God who heard her heart, and when it was almost evening, Hou Ye personally came to Fuyuan.
Ye Jinyu was at a loss for a moment, but the person was already standing in front of her, and she couldn't drive people away. Anyway, the person who has confessed now is not her, as long as she continues to maintain the attitude of not responding before, the embarrassed person is not her.
Yes, that's it, don't be cowardly.
"I don't know what the Hou Ye has to do when he comes over at this time?" Ye Jinyu packed up his emotions and asked respectfully.
Li Sui stared at her for a while, her emotions were unclear, and after a while, she said when she couldn't bear it anymore: "I received news from the Xing family's courtyard. β
"Is Zhou Si awake?" Ye Jinyu's eyes widened excitedly.
"Sort of, the situation has improved in the past two days, and according to the doctor, Ye should be able to wake up soon." Li Sui nodded.
"Great, he must know a lot of things, and maybe he can be a key witness." Ye Jinyu's face was full of joy, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Tomorrow is the day of the Hou Ye's crown ceremony, you must be very busy, and you must not take care of other things." I want to go to the Xingjia courtyard to guard first, maybe Zhou Si will wake up tomorrow. β
When she first tracked down her parents, she was guided by her uncle, and later she also wanted to help Ye Rutong fulfill this wish. But as she was exposed to these things for more and more time, she also developed some feelings for the two parents who had never met.
Coupled with those recent dreams, she witnessed some of her parents' past, and getting closer to them, her curiosity and sense of responsibility were all mobilized.
So she is now desperate to find out the truth about ten years ago.
Li Sui was so excited and happy to see her, and he unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth. The last time they parted, he couldn't feel at ease, and vaguely felt that his comfort had not helped.
Later, when they met in a dream, Jin Yu's alienation from him also made him reaffirm this uneasiness. He thought that Jin Yu hadn't figured out his words yet, so he wanted to give her more time.
I didn't want this little girl to start blatantly avoiding him now, so as soon as he received the news from the guards just now, he immediately thought of a reason to be able to see her properly.
Now that she was so happy, he felt that he had found a very good reason, and that something had finally been done in her heart.
"Well, I'll send someone to send you over early tomorrow morning, if you want to stay there for a few days, it's okay, and I'll go over to you when Ben Hou finishes doing this thing."
"Thank you, Master Hou." Ye Jinyu got up and saluted him, Li Sui stretched out his hand to stop her, but his hand was just halfway up and suddenly stopped, and he silently withdrew it as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, it's almost dinner time, Ben Hou will leave first." Li Sui stood up, looked at her deeply again, and then turned to leave.
Ye Jinyu raised his head in astonishment, and watched him walk out of the flower hall, if he followed the usual routine, Hou Ye would definitely have a cheeky dinner.
But today he not only spoke little, but his attitude was also very calm, and she also saw the hand that was withdrawn halfway just now. So, what's the situation now?
Have you been rejected by her too many times and want to give up?
Ye Jinyu pursed his lips, yes, with his status and status, what kind of woman does he want, why do he have to waste time on her, a person who is "unenlightened and has no interest".
Even if an ordinary man is repeatedly frustrated when pursuing a girl, he will want to give up, not to mention the dignified marquis, who has always been flattered by others.
Ye Jinyu's heart suddenly felt sour and astringent, but there was an inexplicable sense of happiness.
If Hou Ye stopped chasing after her, she would also have a chance to breathe. With her character, no matter how much she likes it, as long as the other party is cold to her, it won't be long before she can let it go.
Early the next morning, Ye Jinyu went down to the Xingjia Courtyard under Jiang Fei's escort. Before leaving, she wanted to go next door to say hello to the Hou Ye, but she hesitated for a while and gave up.
I heard that the procedures for the crown ceremony are very cumbersome, and the Hou Ye must be very busy, so she won't go over to make trouble.
When she arrived at the Xing's courtyard, the maid at the door told her that Xing Gongzi and her cousin had gone out and might not come back until the evening.
Ye Jinyu originally wanted to talk to Qin Miaoyin for a while, but now she went directly to the wing room to see Zhou Si's situation.
"Doctor, how is he doing today compared to yesterday?" Ye Jinyu looked at the middle-aged man guarding here and asked.
"It's a little better, but in fact he regained consciousness a little last night, and after about a quarter of an hour he opened his eyes and fell asleep again." Dr. Xu said.
Ye Jinyu was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that I have already woken up once, have you spoken?" β
Doctor Xu shook his head, "He has been in a coma for so long, it is a miracle that he can wake up, in my opinion, even if he can recover sixty or seventy percent of his consciousness in the near future, it is a little difficult for him to speak in a short period of time." β
The surprise on Ye Jinyu's face fell in an instant, but if he could wake up, he would have hope to speak. The last thing she lacks now is time, as long as those who want to kill Zhou Si can't find here, it doesn't matter how long she waits.
This time when she came to the other courtyard, she didn't bring a maid with her, and now Qin Miaoyin is not there, and when the housekeeper arranges a place for her to live, she will go back to the house to rest first.
