The shadow guard asked her: "If the emperor asks, what should his subordinates say?" ”

Cheng Jingxi replied: "Tell the truth." ”

Ye Huaiyu didn't stay outside for long before coming back, Cheng Jingxi was quietly watching the sunset under the porch, Ye Huaiyu opened the courtyard door and came in, and saw the woman's vague side face.

The woman turned her head at the sound of the voice, still like a shadow.

His heart could no longer see hers.

He walked over.

Cheng Jingxi greeted her, "Husband has been gone for a long time today. ”

Ye Huaiyu said: "I am already a little used to walking in the house, so I went out for a walk, and I didn't want to leave for a few days, I feel that things in Beijing seem to be different." ”

Cheng Jingxi helped Ye Huaiyu to walk into the front hall together, and after listening to his words, she asked casually, "How is it different?" ”

Ye Huaiyu paused for a moment, a smile seemed to be on the corner of his mouth, he didn't look at her, but said in a dull tone: "Maybe it's a human." ”

Cheng Jingxi pursed her lips, feeling that she couldn't answer this.

happened to see Bi'er bring the tea, and she took the opportunity to say, "Bi'er, let's set the meal!" ”

Ye Huaiyu just complained casually, and didn't expect to get any explanation from her, and the left and right were drifting apart, and no matter how much they were entangled in this matter, it wouldn't change much, and the result of the entanglement was just a little sad, and the heart hurt a little more.

Why make yourself so embarrassed.

Ye Huaiyu rested for more than half a month, his body was finally better, and it was time to enter the palace to see the emperor.

The emperor seemed to be pinching the time, and sent him an edict in advance.

After leaving the house early in the morning, Ye Huaiyu did not go directly to the palace, but went to a small wine shop instead, the owner of the wine shop saw him, but he didn't say anything, and directly opened the curtain leading to the backyard, Ye Huaiyu walked inside without looking.

The wine shop looks very cramped, but it has a very spacious backyard and several houses, Ye Huaiyu walked to one of them with a familiar car, pushed open the door, and there was already a person waiting inside.

"Young Master."

The man wanted to salute, but Ye Huaiyu raised his hand to stop him, "No need," and said, "How is the matter investigated?" ”

The man said, "I have eyebrows," and then smiled, "The subordinates still think that he is who, it turns out that he is a famous middleman in the capital." ”

Ye Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, "The middleman? ”

"That's right, it's the middleman, he ......" The man paused, Xu was thinking of the wording in his heart, "Selling intelligence in the middle of the capital, shuttling between major officials, it seems to be a hot commodity." ”

Ye Huaiyu's eyebrows were slightly cold, what did he have to do with him.

"Where is he now?"

"It's controlled by his subordinates," the man said, "Does the young master want to see and confirm it?" ”

Ye Huaiyu was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head, "No, dispose of it, don't keep it." ”

The man smiled when he heard this, "Young Master's move, it seems that those big officials in the capital are going to panic for a while." If you are lucky enough to know that it is the young master who intervenes in it, you will definitely grit your teeth with hatred secretly. ”

"Why panic if you don't do bad things? Furthermore, what does it matter that I kill those who stand in my way? ”

The man replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

"Go for it."

Ye Huaiyu opened the curtain and came out and saw a large wooden box on the counter.

"Young master, this is something you deposited here more than half a month ago, and it has been kept according to your instructions, and the contents inside can be ensured to be fine." The shopkeeper said respectfully with a smile.

"Okay."

took the things and went to the palace gate, and after the emperor went down to the morning court, he knelt outside the study according to what he said yesterday.

Father-in-law Gao came out of the study, walked to Ye Huaiyu and whispered: "Third prince, please come with the slave maid, the emperor is waiting inside!" ”

Ye Huaiyu carried the big wooden box and followed Gonggong Gao into the study.

After the ceremony, Cheng Jingheng gave him a seat, and his father-in-law showed him tea.

"Earlier, Ling Zun proposed to let his third son go to me to eliminate this group of bandits, I am still worried, this time you can return with a big victory, and the old marshal who wants to come to the border at this time will be very happy to hear it."

Ye Huaiyu smiled slightly, and did not take credit, "Huaiyu was restrained before he arrived in Anqu County, and he lost a thousand elite soldiers of the emperor, which is really ashamed. The later tasks can be completed so smoothly, there is no way to rely on Huaiyu alone, and there is one person who has contributed a lot. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Jingheng didn't mention much about the elite soldiers, but just made a surprised look, "Huaiyu, tell me who it is?" ”

"Huai Yu actually didn't know his name, only that the person came from the capital and claimed to be the escort of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"So, did the imperial sister send someone to help Huaiyu?"

Thousands of thoughts flashed in Ye Huaiyu's heart, but he pursed his lips for a moment, and could only reply: "Indeed." ”

Cheng Jingheng smiled, "In this way, it can be seen that the relationship between the imperial sister and Huaiyu is extremely deep. ”

Ye Huaiyu's mouth was wrong, "His Royal Highness's temperament is very good, and Huaiyu's gentle character just complements each other, and Huaiyu is grateful." ”

Ye Huaiyu didn't dare to look directly at Cheng Jingheng when he spoke, and he didn't see him frowning slightly after listening to his words, and his eyes were full of anger, but he passed by.

"The wooden box next to Huaiyu contains ......"

Ye Huaiyu got up and knelt down, and replied in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, this is the head of the bandit leader." ”

Gao Gonggong raised his eyes when he was in office, "Bold! How dare you bring such an hoodoo to the palace......"

"Okay," Cheng Jingheng interrupted him lightly and stared at him, "I asked Huaiyu to bring it." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Cheng Jingheng didn't pay attention to him anymore, "Present it." ”

Father-in-law Gao had no choice but to bring the ominous thing to the emperor with bated breath and closed his eyes, as if looking at and smelling it more would make him dirty.

Ye Huaiyu said again: "Huaiyu has used some methods to preserve, so what the emperor sees at this time should be the appearance of the bandit leader before he died." ”

Cheng Jingheng slowly lifted the lid of the wooden box and saw the pale and closed eyes of the human head inside.

Gao Gonggong peeked at it and was shocked.

"Huaiyu has thought about what reward you want?" After being silent for a long time, Cheng Jingheng raised his head and asked.

Ye Huaiyu was secretly observing Cheng Jingheng's reaction, and he suddenly had this question, which made him a little stunned, Cheng Jingheng's gaze swept over him, with some unknown emotions, which made him unable to understand for a while.

But he really hadn't had time to think about the reward, or rather, he hadn't thought about it at all.

"Huaiyu didn't dare to ask for it."

"The martial arts position in the palace has not been vacant yet, and I really want you to be suspended in the palace," Cheng Jingheng said slowly, "But ......"

"Your Majesty," Ye Huaiyu said suddenly, "Huaiyu is not the only one who has made this contribution, Huaiyu will not dare to be greedy!" ”

"The imperial sister's guards will be rewarded, and of course Huaiyu's can't be left behind," Cheng Jingheng smiled with a smile in his eyes, as if he really had a sincere heart, and without waiting for Ye Huaiyu to refuse again, he turned his head to Gao Gong and said fairly, "Go and bring her up." ”

Ye Huaiyu intuitively felt that nothing good was good, but the matter had come to this point, and he had no way back.

Duke Gao was ordered to go out for a while, and when he came back, he was followed by a woman.

Ye Huaiyu raised his eyes slightly to look over, as if he was afraid that he would overstep the norm and retracted his gaze, but the woman's appearance had already fallen into his eyes.

The woman is shy and timid, and her eyebrows are moving, which is the kind of appearance that all men in the world dream of.

But it wasn't necessarily what he was thinking.

"See the Emperor."

The sound was just like what all the men had heard in their dreams, and the aftermath lingered.

"I've seen the third son." The woman bowed to Ye Huaiyu after a few more thorough bows.

"I once heard that when the imperial sister just married into the Shuai Mansion, she was jealous because of a woman living in the wing room of Huaiyu's courtyard, and later executed her for some reason," When Ye Huaiyu was thinking alone, Cheng Jingheng opened his mouth leisurely, and the young and old man was quite bitter, "I am the imperial sister everywhere, but she is full of jealousy, and the slightest carelessness will make her unhappy, but please rest assured that Huaiyu is a gift from me, and the imperial sister will accept it even if she is unhappy." ”

Ye Huaiyu had already guessed what was going to happen next when the woman came up, and now everything was as he thought, although he was not caught off guard, but he only had time to come up with a way to deal with it.

This is the only one at the moment.

Can he not want it?

"The Emperor's ......"

"Huaiyu," Cheng Jingheng interrupted him lightly, "I know that the imperial sister's actions that time made Huaiyu feel a mustard in her heart, and the imperial sister has never been willing to be soft and coaxed, so I acted as the middleman and compensated Huaiyu for the imperial sister." Why, Huaiyu thinks that this woman is not as good as the one who died at the beginning? ”

"How dare Huaiyu!" Ye Huaiyu threw himself on his knees.

"Since you don't dare," Cheng Jingheng had a strong buying and selling posture, "Huaiyu will accept this reward from me!" ”

"Huaiyu," Ye Huaiyu sighed in his heart, "Thank you for the emperor's gift." ”

Cheng Jingheng seemed to be very tired, "I am tired today, if Huaiyu has nothing else to do, just kneel down!" ”

"Huaiyu retired."

After Ye Huaiyu left with the people, Cheng Jingheng swept away the previous tiredness and reopened the wooden box, and a trace of pain suddenly appeared on Gonggong Gao's face.

"He won't die in vain." Cheng Jingheng seemed to be talking to himself, and the father-in-law on the side suddenly raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"It is his blessing to be able to share the emperor's worries and solve problems."

"This is what you have raised by your side since you were a child, and now that you are so young, you have resentment in your heart?"

Gao Gonggong knelt on the ground in a panic, trembling and showing his loyalty, "The emperor is clear, there are a hundred and a thousand willingness in the heart of the slave and maid, don't say that it is the life of a god, that is, the emperor wants the slave and maid to die now, and the slave and maid will not blink an eye!" ”

Cheng Jingheng pushed the wooden box to the table, "Take it and bury it!" ”

"Yes."

Ye Huaiyu entered the palace and came back with a beautiful woman by his side.

This matter spread in the mansion and was soon known by Mrs. Ye.

It's not easy for Mrs. Ye to visit in person, but just letting her know about this matter is enough to be happy for a while, and she even let people take Huang Li's history and choose a good day with relish.

At the same time, the woman knelt in the front hall and said softly: "Little woman Xie Wanyan, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Cheng Jingxi sat upright, and many emotions flashed in her eyes at that moment, but in the end, they all converged into a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Please."
