After hearing Gongliang Rongruo's words, his eyes were full of guilt, and he said: "Brother and Queen Mother are worried!" In the future, the younger brother will be more secure in doing things! ”

Gongliang Rongruo waved his hand to let him sit on the golden silk nanmu chair beside him, and then said: "If you dare to disobey the order and leave without permission in the future, I will order someone to find a rope to tie you to King Ning's mansion, and see where you are going!" ”

Although Gongliang Rongruo seemed to blame him, he could hear the strong concern coming from behind him, and he was moved for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, in the future, my brother will never be like this again!" ”

Gongliang Rongruo nodded with satisfaction, continued to sit back in the imperial case, and said to him: "I have already agreed to your request and asked Wu Ming to send an envoy to Xia Guo to rescue Ye Cairen, why do you want to go there in person?" ”

Gongliang replied: "Your Majesty, although Wu Ming has already gone to envoy Xia Guo, after the courtiers returned to the mansion, they felt that this matter could not be resolved so easily. Thinking that Murong Yu was going to attack Miss Ye on the first day of his ascension to the throne, he must have known how powerful Miss Ye was. After all, Miss Ye, she is not an ordinary woman. ”

Gongliang Rongruo nodded approvingly after hearing this, and said, "What you said does make some sense!" Thinking that Ye Cairen should have gone with Emperor Mo Xuan, but for some reason he didn't die. Thinking about it, this matter must have nothing to do with Murong Yu. But the Song soldiers are strong and strong, and Murong Yu is not to the point where the two countries go to war for the sake of a talented person! ”

Gongliang replied: "It's really not!" Because Murong Yu calculated correctly, the Song Kingdom would not start a war with the Xia Kingdom! ”

Gongliang Rongruo was slightly stunned and asked, "Why is this?" How could he have done it so easily? ”

"It's because of the kingdom of Wu and the kingdom of Heshe. In today's five continents of the Central Plains, in addition to the Xia Kingdom, which has long been affiliated to the Northern Underworld, the most troublesome for us are the Wu Kingdom and Heshe. Although Wu Guo and Heshe were kind to us on the surface, they had actually been eyeing me Song Guo for a long time in private. If the Song State sent troops to the Xia State, it would definitely give the Wu State and Heshe an opportunity. Murong Yu calculated this correctly, so he would not put His Majesty's national letter in his eyes! ”

Gongliang Rongruo stretched out his finger and gently tapped it on the imperial case a few times, hooked the corners of his lips, and then said to Gongliang: "I really didn't expect that a mediocre person like Emperor Moxuan would give birth to a son like Murong Yu!" Also, how can you easily rescue people from the palace of the dead on your own? ”

Gongliang stopped talking about the things he had discussed with Wu Ming before, and told Gongliang Rongruo to listen. After hearing these words, Gongliang Rongruo laughed and said, "You really have you, you can actually come up with such a method!" ”

After laughing, he seemed to think of something again, so he asked, "By the way, what about Ye Cairen?" But he who came back with you? Why didn't you see anyone? ”

Gongliang replied: "After all, after experiencing such a big catastrophe, Miss Ye was frightened. The younger brother wants her to rest for a few more days, and it has been arranged in the house! ”

After hearing this, Gongliang Rongruo nodded and said, "That's fine!" After all, you and Ye Cairen once had a relationship, and this time you are in danger to save her regardless of the danger, and it is very good for her to stay in your house! By the way, in a few days it will be the queen mother's birthday, and when the time comes, you will take Ye Cairen into the palace and let me and the queen mother meet each other. The person who can make you care so much must have advantages that ordinary people can't match! ”

Gongliang smiled faintly and replied: "Your Majesty has praised it, in fact, she is just an old friend of her younger brother!" Nothing special! ”

Gongliang Rongruo nodded and said, "That's right! After going through so much, it is really time to take a break and recuperate your emotions. I've been talking to you for so long, and you're tired, so I won't keep you longer! You're away and you're about to worry your mother to death. Go and see her! ”

After the public conscience stopped the order, he withdrew and went to visit his mother.

After he left, Gongliang Rongruo stared at the cyan tea cup in front of him, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he snorted coldly in his heart. Although he and Wu Ming are both in agreement, that doesn't mean that he will believe him. He is the emperor of the Song Kingdom, don't you know that there is a proverb about Ye Xuemei? Now that the five continents are divided, who doesn't want to unify the world. If you get this woman, you will definitely be able to win the world! Whether his fair words are true or false or confused remains to be slowly verified.

Moreover, his father never handed over to him the secret organization Dark Night Camp that the Emperor of Song had been holding before he died, and this matter has always been his heart disease. That's why he suspected that the Dark Night Camp was in the hands of Gongliang Yuzhi, otherwise how could he single-handedly save Ye Xuemei from the Death and be unharmed? Without the Dark Night Camp, it is equivalent to not grasping the real power of the Song State, how can he be willing!

When he thought of this, he made up his mind that he must tell the truth about this matter. Yes, he clapped his hands gently, and a woman dressed in green came out from behind the bright yellow curtains. After seeing Gongliang Rongruo, the woman hurriedly bowed to him and said, "Yingyi see Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty! ”

Gongliang Rongruo waved at her, and she got up.

Yingyi has never been revealed in front of people, and she only communicates with Gongliang Rongruo in a single line. Over the years, Gongliang Rongruo would give her some tasks that ordinary guards couldn't do.

In the Song Kingdom, except for Gongliang Rongruo, no one knows her true identity.

Gongliang Rongruo said to her, "Is your Tianqin Pavilion okay lately?" ”

Yingyi replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's good!" His Majesty asked the slaves and maids to install some people in the palaces of various princes to do eyeliner and obtain information, and they have never made a mistake! ”

Gongliang Rongruo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good!" I don't know how many more people you can transfer from Tianqin Pavilion? ”

Yingyi said: "Your Majesty, please command, you can still transfer some manpower!" Where is Your Majesty going to let them go? ”

"Ning Wangfu!"

After a short three words, Yingyi was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty thinks that the Dark Night Camp is in the hands of King Ning?" ”

Gongliang Rongruo replied: "I'm not sure, but it's always necessary to check." Whether it's in his hands or not, it's up to you! ”

Yingyi nodded and replied: "The slave obeys the order, and I will definitely find out about this matter!" After she said this, she said to Gongliang Rongruo: "There is one more thing, the slave doesn't know whether to talk about it or not!" ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Earlier, His Majesty asked the slaves and maids to find some people to inquire about the situation in the Heshe Kingdom, but strangely, the people sent out died within a few days, and they were all sent to the door of the Phoenix Tower. The girls all died one by one, scarred and bruised. The slave maid felt that the country of Naheshe must have known that these people were sent by His Majesty, and also knew about the Phoenix Tower. The slave is afraid that if it continues like this, she will definitely track it down to Tianqin Pavilion! The slave maid guessed that someone in Heshe's country must be secretly watching, otherwise he would not have moved so quickly. After that, the slaves and maidservants sent some more people, and they all died unexpectedly. Your Majesty thinks that this matter should be done? Do you want to continue sending people? ”

Gongliang Rongruo's fingers lightly clasped the sandalwood table, and he muttered for a moment and said, "It seems that the Heshe Kingdom is indeed not simple!" You don't have to send someone for the time being, and if you go, you will die in vain. I will pass on these news to the Emperor of Wu, and I don't believe that Emperor Wu will sit idly by! With his surveillance and vigilance of the country of Hesher, it will be easier for you. Okay, you don't have to worry about the rest, let's get this thing done first! ”

"Yes! Slaves obey! As she spoke, Yingyi quietly stepped back and disappeared behind the bright yellow curtains.

The harem of the Song Kingdom is divided into two places, the West Palace and the East Palace, the West Palace was originally prepared for some concubines who had been favored by the emperor during his lifetime and had no heirs, and those who had heirs would have fiefs, and the mother concubines would go to the fiefdoms. But Concubine Chen is different, she got along well with Empress Dowager He in her early years, and after the death of the first emperor, she was not sent away, but stayed in the East Palace to recuperate.

There is a small kitchen in the East Palace, where a woman dressed in a purple and brocade robe is busy working. Dongmei beside her couldn't help but admire after seeing her carefully make a plate of small snacks: "Concubine, your hands are so skillful, this rose cake is His Royal Highness King Ning's favorite food, come to think of it, he doesn't know how happy he is after seeing this plate of pastry!" ”

The corners of Concubine Chen's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and she said to Dongmei: "He, I don't know when I will be back!" You put this plate of pastry away and eat it when he comes back! ”

"Okay, slave and maid, let's put it away!" Dongmei said, holding the plate and was about to leave, when she walked to the door, she raised her eyes and looked, and after seeing that it was a good word, she immediately said to Concubine Chen excitedly and excitedly: "Concubine, Prince Ning is back!" ”

After hearing Gongliang's words, Concubine Chen turned her head, and when she saw him, her heart was so excited that she hurriedly stepped forward to hug him. Gongliang stopped talking, he suddenly knelt in front of Concubine Chen, and said, "It's been more than a month, how is the concubine?" ”

Concubine Chen's eyes were full of tears, she leaned down and helped him up, and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

Dongmei was very happy when she saw this scene, she blessed her body to the good words, and said: "Lord, you are leaving, the concubine has been thinking about you for a long time!" You talk to the concubine more, and the slave will go and bring you the chilled watermelon given by His Majesty, eating this in this weather is the most summer-cooling! With that, he turned around and left, leaving only two people, Concubine Chen and Gongliang Yuzhi.

Concubine Chen excitedly shook Gongliang's hand and asked, "Where have you been during this time?" Do you know that the mother is very worried about you! ”

Gongliang Yuzhi didn't want to tell Concubine Chen about his affairs, but he knew that he would not be able to hide it, so he had to tell her the truth, "Some time ago, the child went to Xia Guo and rescued Miss Ye!" ”

When Concubine Chen heard this, her face immediately changed, and she said to him: "As soon as you leave, I know that you must be there to save her." The mother concubine really doesn't know what is good about that Ye Cairen, and it is worth your efforts for her like this. She is a talented person of Emperor Moxuan of Xia Kingdom, and she is still unclear with Murong Yu. Where is such a woman worthy of you? It's like you're lost, and you have to save her! The Queen Mother and Her Majesty have pointed out to you how many times you have been married, but you have not agreed! Now that she's back, where did you place her? ”

Gongliang Yuzhi knew that the mother concubine didn't like Ye Xuemei, and he also knew the reason for this, but Ye Xuemei was also a poor person, she gave up so much for Murong Yu, but in the end, in exchange for his abandonment and imprisonment of her.

He tried to explain to his mother, so he said, "Mother, although Miss Ye was a talented person of Emperor Mo Xuan before, Emperor Mo Xuan did not favor her. Later, she was with Murong Yu, and Murong Yu was just using her. She has always been an innocent girl. ”

Concubine Chen scoffed at this, she said: "Mother doesn't care if she has anything to do with those people, Mother just wants to tell you that you have a mind about her when you die!" There's no way I'm going to agree to you being together. She's with you just to get you to avenge her. But have you ever wondered what you are going to do to avenge her? After all, you are only a prince, although you are in charge of 100,000 people in the military defense camp, but they are all given to you by His Majesty, can you transfer troops without his consent? Or are you going to live up to Your Majesty's trust in you? ”

"No, my son never has that mind!" Gongliang stopped and denied it. "But the mother concubine, the Ye clan are all innocent, and Miss Ye is even more innocent. If I don't avenge him, what will she do? At the end of the day, she's just a weak woman. The mother concubine doesn't have to worry about this, and the matter of revenge will not be in a hurry, the son has his own measure! ”

Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, how could Concubine Chen not know that Gongliangyu was prevaricating her with words, but she also knew that the things that this son decided could not be changed for a while, so she didn't say anything more, so she had to say: "Go and rest, my mother doesn't want to discuss this matter with you now!" ”

Gongliang Yuzhi was in danger, and he finally came back from Xia Kingdom, and naturally he didn't want to annoy Concubine Chen, so he stopped talking and quietly retreated.

After Gongliang stopped leaving, Dongmei walked in with a chilled watermelon, and when she didn't see Gongliang Yuzhi's figure, she knew that the prince must have had an awkward relationship with her mother again. Yes, she put down the iced watermelon in her hand and said to Concubine Chen: "Concubine, don't be angry with the prince, he is your biological son, and he will understand your hard work." ”

Concubine Chen supported her forehead with her hand, sighed, and said to Dongmei: "That's it, I know my son. It seems that this matter still has to start with Ye Xuemei. ”

After hearing this, Dongmei frowned without a trace, and said worriedly: "What if Ye Cairen refuses?" ”

Concubine Chen's originally loving eyes suddenly burst out with a trace of cold light, and she said slowly: "Then I'm afraid I can't help her!" ”

Let's say that after Ye Xuemei returned to the mansion of Gongliangyuzhi, she was arranged to live in the East Courtyard. However, the east courtyard was not cleaned up for a while, so she temporarily lived in the west courtyard where Gongliang Yuzhi lived.

The subordinates prepared refreshments and withdrew, leaving Rong Xiang and Ye Xuemei in the house.

After Rong Xiang poured a glass of water for Ye Xuemei, she said, "Girl, I finally got out of danger, why are you still worried?" Didn't the prince say that he would avenge the girl, what else is the girl worried about? ”

After Ye Xuemei took a sip of water, she frowned slightly and said, "Although the prince said these words, he is not alone in this huge Song Kingdom, and I am still very worried about what will happen in the future!" ”

Seeing this, Rong Xiang said with relief: "Don't think too much about it, girl, if you can escape from the Xia Kingdom without dying, there will be a blessing in the future!" ”

Listening to her convince herself like this, Ye Xuemei couldn't help but smile at the corners of her lips.

At this moment, someone reached out and knocked on the door, and before Ye Xuemei could reply, he had already pushed the door open and walked in, this person was the prisoner knife.

The prison knife looked at Ye Xuemei, and said with a cold snort: "I didn't expect Miss Ye to be so interested that she can sit here and drink tea leisurely!" The East Courtyard has been cleaned up, if you don't have anything else to do, move in as soon as possible! If there is anything else you need, just go directly to Mr. Cai! After finishing speaking, he ignored Ye Xuemei and walked straight out.

After Rong Xiang saw his attitude, she was angry, and she shouted at the back of the prison knife: "What kind of person, this is!" Can't you even take a sip of tea? ”

Ye Xuemei had already known that the prison knife was a person from the Dark Night Camp before, and she didn't want Rong Xiang to always have a conflict with him, so as not to be unfavorable to her. Before, he was worried about being outside, and it was inconvenient, so he didn't tell Rong Xiang the truth. At this time, it was much safer to go to the palace than before, so she said to Rong Xiang: "Rong Xiang, don't always have a verbal conflict with the prison knife in the future. You forgot that his martial arts are very strong. Do you remember when he was at the inn and he wore a human skin mask? ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard Gongliang Yuzhi walking back from outside, and he asked curiously, "What kind of human skin mask?" Does the prison knife have a human skin mask? ”

When Rong Xiang was about to say something, Ye Xuemei interrupted her first, and she said, "I'm talking and playing with Rong Xiang, why are you here, prince?" ”

Gongliang Yuzhi walked in, looked at Ye Xuemei with a light smile, and said, "I came to ask the girl if she is used to living?" ”

Ye Xuemei smiled lightly and replied, "Very good, very used to it!" Thank you for your hospitality! Fang Jian Dao came to tell me that the East Courtyard had been cleaned up, and Rong Xiang and I were going to move over! ”

Gongliang nodded with a smile and said, "That's very good!" Before the girl moves out, I want her to see someone! ”

Ye Xuemei asked, "Who are you seeing?" ”

Gongliang Yuzhi turned his head and shouted outside: "Manager Cai! ”

As soon as Gongliang's words fell, an old man who was nearly five years old immediately walked in outside the door, and he bowed slightly to Gongliangyu, "Lord! ”

"Go and invite your guests! Let's just say that Miss Ye has arrived! ”

"Yes, my lord! The old slave is going! ”

Ye Xuemei was still surprised who was coming, and after a while, a man walked in from outside the door, his eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to Ye Xuemei, tall and majestic, and his appearance was also superior. He walked in in a hurry and said to Ye Xuemei, "Mei'er! ”

As soon as Ye Xuemei saw her, the excitement in her eyes was indescribable, and she hurriedly rushed forward and hugged him tightly, "Fifth brother! ”

This person's name is Ye Lanhai, and he is the child of Ye Xuemei's second uncle's family. Because his second uncle sacrificed his life for the country in the early years of the battlefield, only Ye Lanhai was left with one son. Ye Lanyuan looked at him pitifully, so he took him by his side to raise him, like his own son.

Ye Xuemei has a very good relationship with this brother, who is the fifth oldest in the family. But later, when the two of them gradually got older, Ye Lanhai went out to study and rarely returned home. And Ye Xuemei took the initiative to go to the draft and stayed in the palace, so there was very little contact between the two. Over the years, she had almost forgotten about this brother, and she thought that if such a big thing happened this time, Murong Yu would definitely not let go of everyone in the Ye family. It's a pity that he only forgot his fifth brother.

When the brother and sister meet, it is natural to cry bitterly. Ye Lanhai told her that he happened to be not at home at the time of the incident, so he was not caught by Murong Yu. Thanks to Gongliangyu, he saved him and brought him to the Song Mansion to avoid the catastrophe. But he has long regarded Ye Lanyuan as his biological father, and the hatred of the entire Ye family, he can't forget it. He told Ye Xuemei that he must go for revenge!

Gongliang Yuzhi not only saved Ye Xuemei, but also saved Ye Lanhai, how could their brothers and sisters forget this kind of great kindness. Ye Lan was so hateful that he decided to return to the Xia Kingdom by himself, ambushed him, and waited for an opportunity to make a move. After all, the Ye family is loyal and good, and the Ye family will be wiped out just because of their own selfish desires, this kind of thing will shock a lot in the court, and there will definitely be some old courtiers who are willing to help them.

Although Gongliang Yuzhi didn't want him to take risks like this, but Ye Lanhai had already made up his mind, and he couldn't influence him, so he had to agree to him. And promised him that if anything happened, he would tell him as soon as possible, and he would do his best to help him.

When Ye Lanhai was about to leave, Ye Xuemei stopped him first and told him that it was extremely dangerous to go to Xia Kingdom, and it was not so easy to hide in the shadows and ambush, and there must be a topographic map to help him fight in the future! She relied on her own memory to draw a topographical map of the Xia Kingdom and handed it to Ye Lanhai.

After Ye Lanhai got the topographic map, he said goodbye to Ye Xuemei and Gongliang Yuzhi and left.

Although Ye Xuemei was very reluctant, she also knew very well that this kind of blood feud could only make them really happy if they reported it early. Otherwise, every day will be as hard for them as it is for a year.

After Ye Lanhai left, Gongliang Yuzhi asked people to help place Ye Xuemei in the East Courtyard. The eastern courtyard is very elegantly furnished, with several large vats filled with water and the most delicate lotus flowers.

In the face of the carefulness of Gongliang's words, Ye Xuemei was very grateful. He knew that she liked lotus flowers, so he specially ordered some lotus flowers to be planted in the east courtyard, just to make her happier.
