Xie Daoqing was only seventeen years old just now, and he was only seven years older than Ye Qing's eldest son, Ye Gucheng.

It is precisely because of the problem of age that when Shi Miyuan secretly chose a concubine for the current crown prince Zhao Kuo, Xie Daoqing was excluded from it. In addition to being six years older than the crown prince Zhao, it is also because Xie Shenfu is stubborn and not as willing to join his command as Han Xiangzhou, Yang Huili and others.

The appearance is delicate, the skin is fair, the cheeks are scared and nervous, and the childishness is green, the long hair is softly draped behind the head, the watery eyes are turning back and forth, and the water-green shirt and skirt make Xie Daoqing look fresh and refined, elegant and pure.

After Ye Qing had only been wandering two streets since he left the mansion, someone from the Imperial City Division secretly reminded him that there was a tail behind him, and he originally wanted to take it to a secluded place to see what the hell was sacred, so he couldn't wait to take the bait.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for the people of the Imperial City Division to make a move, he just made a detour, and then caught the young girl who was standing on the corner of the street and looking around for her figure.

Xie Daoqing was startled by Ye Qing who suddenly appeared behind him, and when he saw clearly that it was he who patted his shoulder, it was the person he suddenly lost, his eyes widened in disbelief, and then he rolled his eyes back and forth, and began to think about words in his mind.

The little girl was not stupid, so when Ye Qing's figure suddenly disappeared, she felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart, and when Ye Qing suddenly appeared behind her, she knew that she had been found following others.

"I ...... Do you believe me passing by? Xie Daoqing looked at Ye Qing's mysterious and deep eyes, subconsciously took two steps back, and pointed behind him and stammered.

"Do you believe it yourself?" The corners of Ye Qing's mouth flashed with a smile, the little girl in front of her was a little familiar, but for a while, she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Like the maid in her own house, but this dress looks like a famous lady, by no means a maid in the house, but if you want to say that it is a girl in Yongjin Building, obviously the little girl's elegance and simplicity without any fat powder is by no means a girl in Yongjin Building can dress up.

"I ...... I can trust ....... The little girl's fingers were still pointing behind her, but her bony eyes had already betrayed her, and she continued with some nervousness and trepidation: "But I want you to believe that I am really passing by." ”

After finishing speaking, Xie Daoqing nodded seriously, so as to make his words more convincing.

Ye Qing looked at the handsome little girl in front of her with some amusement, but she didn't know what to do for a while, could it be that she could make herself a big man and quarrel with a little girl on the street?

What's more, the carriage had slowly stopped not far away, and with more than ten guards around the carriage, it could be seen at a glance that this was Li Fengniang's carriage.

He waved his hand at Zuo Jiao, who jumped off the wheel and pretended to look at him casually, signaling that they didn't have to wait for him, and went over first.

After watching the carriage slowly leave, Ye Qing's gaze returned to Xie Daoqing's body again, and said with a smile: "Who asked you to follow me?" ”

"I ...... I'm really the road ...... Pass. Xie Daoqing said hard-mouthed again, there was an impulse in his heart, he finally seized the opportunity, he should tell the truth to the stalker, but I don't know why, as soon as the little girl opened her mouth, it became a lie, and she didn't dare to say what she wanted to say.

Ye Qing, who was a little helpless, shook his head, he really had nothing to do with a little girl, looking at both sides of the street, there were pedestrians passing by from time to time, and even some people's eyes would fall on him and the little girl in front of him with some surprise.

As the people who secretly followed him in the Imperial City Division passed by in the crowd, shaking their heads at themselves, indicating that there was no other tail except for the little girl in front of him, the doubts in Ye Qing's heart became stronger and stronger, and he was even aroused.

"It doesn't matter what you're following me for, or if you're really passing through, but ......." Ye Qing looked at Xie Daoqing and said seriously, while the little girl's expression became hesitant, wanting to speak but as if she didn't know how to speak.

Looking at the little girl who wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, Ye Qing sighed and continued: "Since you said that you were passing by, then please ...... How about you first? ”

"Oh, okay. Which way are you going...... As soon as he was halfway through the words, Xie Daoqing realized that he was saying something idiotic, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, his eyes were bigger than just now, and he looked at Ye Qing with some horror and shook his head again and again, and then turned his head and ran away while Ye Qing lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Looking at the little girl's delicate body with a youthful atmosphere running through the crowd, Ye Qing smiled again, then turned around and continued to walk in the direction of the apricot garden.

It's just that before he could take a few steps out of the crowd, he heard a familiar voice in his ear: "Uncle, can I ask you to ...... something." ”

"Why are you again?" Ye Qing turned around, Xie Daoqing hurriedly retreated, and then looked nervously at Ye Qing, who was slightly angry.

"I ...... I'm not passing through. Xie Daoqing's palms were instantly full of sweat, secretly grabbed his sleeves, and looked at Ye Qing cautiously: "I...... I'm here to ask for your help. ”

"You just called me uncle? Do you know me? Ye Qing couldn't wait to pull the little girl in front of her into her arms and spank her hard, is she that old? I'm not even forty now, right? It's just that the temples are a little whiter!

Xie Daoqing didn't know why Ye Qing was so sensitive to the word uncle, but he still looked at Ye Qing in horror and nodded, his eyes quickly swept over Ye Qing's white temples.

The two moved step by step from the crowd to the side of the street again, so as not to block the pedestrian path.

The sun has begun to scorch the earth, and under the shadow of the big tree, Ye Qing looked at the little girl who was a little frightened and a little twisted, and the little girl kept a distance of five or six steps from him, making half of the whole person in the shade and half in the sun, like a wild goose flying like a frightened goose.

"What's your name? Why do you know me? Ye Qing looked Xie Daoqing up and down again and asked.

"I ...... My name is Xie Daoqing, and the day before yesterday, I was fortunate to meet you in Yipinlou for a ....... Xie Daoqing clenched his fists uneasily in his sleeves and plucked up his courage to say.

"Can you stop calling Uncle?" Looking at the girl who was in her prime of life, Ye Qing was really a little melancholy, and before she knew it, she was almost forty years old.

"Yes, big ...... Person. Xie Daoqing hurriedly changed his words.

"What are you looking for from me?" When Ye Qing heard the little girl's name, she unconsciously thought in the direction of the nun, could it be that Xie Qubo gave his daughter such a name in order to make her a nun?

Ye Qing walked in front, Xie Daoqing followed closely behind, turning the corner to a rather spacious street, although it was not as prosperous and lively as the Royal Street, and the crowds were surging, but it was also full of shops and everything.

From time to time, listening to the intermittent and stammering words of the little girl behind her, and looking up at the plaque of the shop from time to time, Ye Qing plunged into a rather elegant teahouse.

Xie Daoqing at the door was stunned, then looked at the plaque in the teahouse, hesitantly looked at Ye Qing, who was waiting for her at the door, and finally followed in.

Originally, he was wandering out alone, and he also wanted to get rid of whether anyone was following him, so Ye Qing, who had been wandering around in Lin'an for more than an hour, was already thirsty.

looked up at Xie Daoqing, who was sitting opposite, and without waiting for a question, Xie Daoqing shook his head again and again: "I'm not thirsty." ”

After signaling the guy to take a pot of good tea, Ye Qing looked at the people coming and going outside the window, and said with a smile: "Why do you think I can save your father?" Why didn't Xie Shenfu come to me, but let you come to me? ”

"Because your sending is greater than your grandfather's, you ...... You are an important minister of the imperial court. Xie Daoqing said bluntly, and his eyes were patrolling the teahouse from time to time, and the whole person looked a little absent-minded.

Ye Qing also swept her eyes over the teahouse quietly, and did not find anything unusual, and she couldn't help but be a little curious in her heart, why the little girl in front of her was more cramped and uneasy than outside after entering the teahouse.

"Did Xie Shenfu ask you to come?" After Ye Qing watched the guy leave, he was just about to pick up the teapot and pour tea for himself, but Xie Daoqing on the other side was quick-eyed, got up and picked up the teapot as soon as possible, and poured tea for Ye Qing with both hands.

"I came on my own, and my grandfather didn't know about it." Xie Daoqing put down the teapot and sat down, and then watched Ye Qing pick up the teacup and sniff at the tip of his nose, and licked his lips unconsciously.

Ye Qing put down the teacup, lifted the teapot and poured a cup for Xie Daoqing, which made the little girl in a hurry, and hurriedly stood up and thanked her.

From time to time, there is the sound of Lang Lang's poetry, coming from the second floor of the teahouse, and as a poem is recited, the applause and applause make Ye Qing and others downstairs hear it clearly, and there is an urge to go up to the second floor to spy on one or two.

Looking at the little girl who was still a little nervous in front of her, Ye Qing smiled and said, "Even if your grandfather comes in person, I won't sell him this affection, let alone ...... The day before yesterday in Yipinlou, I had already told Xie Shenfu with my actions that I would not interfere in this matter. So...... Why do you think I'll help you? ”

"I ......." Xie Daoqing's mind was a little dazed, this was completely different from what she imagined in her mind when she made up her mind to come to Ye Qing, in her own imagination, after she found Ye Qing, and then told the cause and effect, Ye Qing would help her to save her father, not like in front of her, there would be so many ...... A question that I didn't think of.

"I think uncle...... Your Excellency, you are a good person, and you will not die without help. Xie Daoqing hurriedly changed his words, but fortunately, the uncle on the other side didn't seem to mind anymore.

"It's not a good person or a bad person, it's not you a little girl who has the final say." Ye Qing looked at the little girl in front of her who was ignorant of the world, and continued to smile: "The court can't distinguish between good people and bad people, if your father is really as good as you say, then how can he be arrested and put in prison by the Criminal Department?" Maybe you can go directly to the court and tell the court that your father is a good person, and that the criminal department has arrested the wrong person, wouldn't it be simpler? ”

"My father is no longer in the prison of the Criminal Department, and my grandfather said last night that he doesn't know where his father and Uncle Chen are being held, and they may even have been killed by adulterers." Xie Daoqing's eyes were dim and red, and in the end, he had lowered his head, and crystal tears began to fall to the shirt on his chest in an instant.

Ye Qing looked at the little girl who began to shed tears, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, if the little girl in front of her knew that she was the adulterer who robbed her father and Chen Fuliang, she didn't know what her expression would be.

"People are no longer in the prison of the Criminal Department? In this way, even if you beg me, I can't do anything. Even you don't know if your father was murdered by an adulterer, or if he was imprisoned in another prison, how can I help you? Ye Qing picked up the teacup and asked easily.

Xie Daoqing, whose eyes were overflowing with tears, took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes, shaking his head with a sad expression: "I don't know, grandfather can't help it, I just think you can save my father, and that day the lord and grandfather also discussed, now only uncle can save your father's ......." ”

Xie Daoqing shed tears as he spoke, and then wiped his tears while looking at Ye Qing pitifully, and the pleading look on his face could be seen even by a blind person.

Ye Qing was no longer able to entangle the little girl's mouth and couldn't change the name of his uncle, his eyes involuntarily moved to the window, not looking at the crying poor Xie Daoqing, and when he was about to turn around, he heard a man's voice next to him: "Qing'er? You...... Why are you crying? Is this person bullying you? ”

Ye Qing hurriedly turned his head, only to see that at his table, there were two elegant scholars about twenty years old, one looking at Xie Daoqing with a concerned face, and the other looking at himself with indignation, as if ...... It's as if he's the culprit who made the little girl cry.
