Chapter 034: Secrets from the Study
Back in Mingyue Pavilion, Ye Xintian pressed Chunke on the stool, didn't allow her to move, and went to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find the ointment, no matter what the ointment was, he took it out, and finally walked to Chunke with them in his arms and put them all on the table.
Ye Xintian sat down, reached out and stroked Chunke's already red and swollen cheeks, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
"The slave doesn't hurt." Chunke replied while shaking his head.
"Don't call yourself a slave in front of me, just get along like an ordinary person." Ye Xintian rummaged through the ointment, and finally settled on a bottle.
Chunke heard Ye Xintian say this, and was about to kneel down with her feet bent and said she didn't dare, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Ye Xintian and helped her up.
"Sit down, don't move, I'll give you medicine." Ye Xintian didn't understand why in Chunke's heart, respect and humility were portrayed very clearly, when it was time to kneel, Chunke would kneel without hesitation, and when it was time to admit his mistakes, Chunke would also kneel.
Modern people say that there is gold under their knees, but in ancient times, the master was the master, and the slave and maid were always inferior. She told Chunke that they got along in private and didn't need to be so restrained, but Chunke didn't listen.
Ye Xintian approached Chunke, picked up a little ointment with his hand, gently applied it to her face, and asked intimately, "Are you okay?" ”
"Hmm." Chunke blinked and nodded, her eyes filled with tears.
"What are you crying about, you didn't cry when you were beaten, did you cry when you took the medicine?" Ye Xintian thought that Chunke was crying in pain, and deliberately teased.
Chunke sniffed, forced back the tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "The princess is really different from before. ”
Chunke didn't understand what changed Ye Xintian, but she liked this change very much.
"How was I before?" Ye Xintian felt that since there was a topic, she would go on, so as not to look for a topic, so that she could also distract her attention, and it wouldn't hurt so much.
Chunke smiled awkwardly and said, "In the past, when the slave and maid were injured, you would not help the slave and maid with medicine, but only said that the slave and maid were too stupid and injured themselves." ”
What did the original say before? Ye Xintian was surprised in his heart.
"Before, I didn't know how to behave in the world, so don't worry about me. You know, to marry into the palace, I have to get rid of some bad habits. ”
"The slave understands."
"You have to keep in mind the truth that people will change and the moon will be full." Ye Xintian said with a smile.
From the beginning of her time here, Chunke was very wary of her, and always observed the so-called distinction between respect and inferiority, but her modern concept is that everyone is equal, and no one should serve others all their lives.
In the room, Ye Xintian and Chunke were talking and laughing, without their previous lives, more of a heart-to-heart conversation.
On the other side, Cheng Yun rushed to the library and broke in without knocking on the door.
"Master, the princess bullied the slave family! You see, the princess has scratched everyone's hands red. Cheng Yun trotted over, and wanted to throw herself into Yi Sijin's arms as she spoke.
Yi Sijin looked up from the desk and saw Cheng Yun rushing in, crying and wanting to throw himself into his arms, so he quickly raised his arm and blocked between the two, preventing her from approaching, and said impatiently: "This is a place to talk about business, can you break in casually!" ”
Cheng Yun wiped her tears, and only then did she notice that there were other people in the study, so she blessed her body obediently and said, "It's the slave family who is impulsive and disturbs." ”
"Remember to knock on the door before you come in next time." Yi Sijin angrily dropped the official document and said.
It's just to stay for one night, and he has received a lot of complaints today, saying that she has become a bully, not as well-behaved as before, and has made rumors fly, and it is enough to change a person by having a backer behind her.
"Yes, sir." Cheng Yun said before turning around and closing the door.
As soon as the door closed, her face changed, her eyes became sinister, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a sly smile. She silently swore in her heart that he would repay the humiliation that Ye Xintian gave her today.
However, she obviously felt that Yi Sijin's attitude towards her had changed, which was not a good phenomenon, and she had to work harder.
In the library pavilion, Yi Sijin's face was tense, and her hands hanging by her side were clenched into fists, very concerned about what had just happened.
★★★
After lunch, the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle, Ye Xintian sat on the swing frame, looking up and squinting at the light shining through the cracks in the trees, the dappled sunlight sprinkled on her, and the warmth spread all over her body.
It was spring, the temperature was just right, the wind was very cool, and when the flower seeds she sprinkled in the yard sprouted, the flowers bloomed in the summer, and even the air was fragrant with flowers, she was looking forward to it.
Chunke walked into the courtyard quickly, stepped on the cobblestone path, came to Ye Xintian's side, bent down and whispered in her ear: "The prince has left the house." ”
Ye Xintian raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes, glanced at Chunke, got up from the swing frame, and the destination was the library pavilion.
She and Chunke quietly came to the window of the library pavilion, stepped on Chunke's shoulders and climbed up, lying on the windowsill, she lowered her voice and said to Chunke: "Remember our code, someone is here to remind me." ”
Chunke nodded, found a lush grass and squatted down, staring intently at the door of the courtyard of the library pavilion with both eyes.
Ye Xintian lowered his pace, shuttled between the bookshelves, and moved the books to see if there were other things hidden in them, but it turned over for a long time, not to mention the secret letters, not even a small card stuffed in the book.
She sat down on the ground, but did not give up searching, rested for a while, and continued to get up and search.
She thought that such an important thing should not be placed in such an obvious place as the desk, and the second was hidden in the cracks of the book, but after looking for so long and not finding it, she began to suspect that there was a secret room or something.
In the library pavilion, she searched all the suspicious places she could find, but there was no trace of the so-called secret letter, and she seriously suspected that Ye Tianquan deliberately gave her a difficult problem. Secret letters, you can't touch the invisible things, who knows where to hide.
However, she was also very curious about what was hidden in it that made Ye Tianquan value it so much and Yi Sijin so much.
As time passed, she couldn't find it, and fine sweat was on her forehead, and she was afraid that Yi Sijin would suddenly turn back.
She told Chunke to inquire about Yi Sijin's itinerary today, and he had to go out only at this time, so she came to the library pavilion. This is where he usually reads official documents, and it is also the most likely place.
There was a 'click', and she was leaning against the wall where she was resting, and suddenly she made a sound.
Ye Xintian slowly approached the source of the sound, squatted down and touched the place where she was resting just now, and found that there were traces of protrusions on it, she pushed hard, the mechanism was automatically unlocked, and a recessed hole appeared in the wall, and a brocade box was placed inside.
"Could it be...... What I'm looking for here? She took out the brocade box with suspicion, lifted the lid, and sure enough, there was a secret letter inside, "So it's here!" ”
As long as someone has opened the secret letter, the sealing fire paint will inevitably be damaged, and when it is sealed again, it will be different from the original, so that it can prove that someone has checked the secret letter.
"Take it away?" She muttered quietly, but it wasn't a good idea because it would be discovered sooner, and the last thought formed in her brain, and she said, "Then I'll just keep it in my head." ”
She tore open the seal and pulled out the secret letter inside, the content turned out to be about Jing Zhaoyin's son's incident, but the next content made her face gradually ugly, and the fingertips of the secret letter turned white with force.
Suddenly, the familiar sound of a man-made bird was heard in my ears.
She woke up and quickly folded the letter into an envelope, then put it back in the brocade box, and then pushed it on. She wanted to leave, but the bird's call became more and more rapid, which was obviously not good.
Yi Sijin heard that something was wrong with the bird's call, twisted her eyebrows, walked quickly through the courtyard, pushed open the door of the library pavilion, and strode in, but saw a slender figure.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, his eyes squinting, his eyes full of displeasure.
Ye Xintian, who was originally struggling to write, raised his head when he heard the voice, dipped his brush in ink, and continued to write calligraphy, saying, "Practice calligraphy." ”
"Here?" Yi Sijin asked suspiciously.
"What's wrong with that? Isn't this a study? Ye Xintian replied as a matter of course.
"This is the king's study!"
"It's the study anyway."
Yi Sijin glanced at her, walked to her side, looked at the words she wrote, and said with disgust: "No wonder you want to practice calligraphy, your words are really ugly." ”
"What does it have to do with you!" Ye Xintian glared at him and threw the brush on the table to express his dissatisfaction.
Yi Sijin squinted her eyes and asked again, "Are you really here to practice calligraphy?" ”
"I'm not here to practice calligraphy, I'm here to play!" Ye Xintian threw him a stack of ghost-like white paper on the desk and said.
"In the future, you won't be allowed to enter the king's study, you know?" Yi Sijin warned.
Ye Xintian sighed with his back to him, and then said angrily: "Cut, who is rare." ”
After saying that, she walked out of the library quickly, helped him close the door, and then hurriedly slipped away.
She didn't want to know why he didn't follow his original itinerary, she didn't want to know why he turned back, she just knew that she could avoid it, anyway, the content of the secret letter was already in her brain.
Yi Sijin stared at the back of her leaving, and did not stop her, but let her go.
"Little girl, your acting skills are really good." He laughed angrily and laughed.
In the evening, the afterglow of the sunset shone on the earth, and the cool evening breeze swept from all directions, gently brushing everyone's cheeks.
Ye Xintian sat on the stone bench, sipping warm tea, enjoying the sunset outside the wall, and felt that there was a different view.
"This is it!" Suddenly, there was a screeching sound outside the door, accompanied by noisy footsteps.
Ye Xintian raised his eyes and watched Cheng Yun walk towards him, with a catcher in an official uniform behind him, looking domineering.
"Miss Cheng, what do you mean by working hard to mobilize the public?" She asked.
"You say!" Cheng Yun stepped aside and motioned for one of the catchers to step forward and explain the reason.
"See the princess." He quickly held his sword in front of him with his hands in his fists, and said, "Please come with us, the princess." ”
Ye Xintian smiled slightly and asked, "Reason?" ”
Catch quickly took out an official document from his arms, put it in front of everyone, and said, "The princess is suspected of killing the Su family, please follow us to Jingzhao Yin's mansion." ”
What the! Homicide? Is she Ye Xintian?
