Chapter 018: Temptation
Ye Xintian felt that the top priority was to find a way to go back, she wanted to figure out why she came back to this place and why she was attached to the original body Ye Xintian.
Because they have the same name and surname? The reason is certainly not so simple, there must be something else. If she can't go back to her original world for a while, how long will she stay here?
She has nothing here except that she is the general's nominal daughter, and it can be seen from the fact that she is trapped in the general's mansion that the general does not care about her daughter at all.
Now that she is trapped in the palace again, the plot can be similar, but she doesn't want it to be the same, she has to plan for herself.
Listening to Chunke say that the library pavilion of the palace is the second place with the most books in Chenguo, Ye Xintian thought that if he could go through all the books in the palace, he might be able to find a way to go back.
Therefore, she asked Chunke to take the dowry to buy the bookboy in the library, and she sneaked in while she was done cleaning.
"Sure enough, it's the second largest book collection." Ye Xintian looked at the rows of bookshelves that went straight to the roof, and couldn't help but sigh.
She climbed onto the shelf and flipped through the top books one by one, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find any record of this.
Tired and sleepy, she sat on the ground leaning against the bookshelf and yawned several times. I was about to sleep with the book over my face when suddenly the door of the library was pushed open.
Frightened to sleep, she crept to her feet, tugging at the bookshelves, squinting through the cracks to see who was coming.
Yi Sijin put her hands behind her back and strode into the library, her face tense, as if she was very unhappy, and there was a guard behind her.
"What has General Ye been doing lately?" As soon as Yi Sijin sat down, she couldn't wait to ask.
"Since the marriage of the prince and the princess, General Ye has been very peaceful. But last night, the governor went to the general's palace. The guard replied.
"Is it for that?"
"Yes, the governor's son made trouble in the Qinglou because he was drunk and beat the guests to death, so he should want General Ye to say a good word in the court."
Yi Sijin smiled, opened the official document on the table and said, "In their opinion, other people's lives are really worthless. ”
The guard didn't speak, quietly waiting for the next arrangement.
"You can't let them be private, you can do something for this king." Yi Sijin hooked his finger at the guard and motioned for him to come over.
After listening to this, the guard's face was a little uncomfortable, and he asked worriedly: "Master, isn't this good?" ”
"If you want to do it, you will do it, and when the sky falls, there will be this king for you to bear, what are you afraid of." Yi Sijin waved impatiently.
The guards clasped their hands into fists and led the way out of the library.
Yi Sijin continued to review the official documents, deliberately much slower than before, and glanced to the side from time to time.
'Why don't you leave?' Ye Xintian hammered his thigh, which was standing a little tired, and muttered in his heart.
The sun had set, and the orange afterglow came in through the window, reflecting on Yi Sijin's handsome face, he was twisting his eyebrows and carefully reviewing the official documents, holding a brush in his hand to write vigorously on the official documents.
Ye Xintian has no intention of admiring the handsome guy now, she just hopes that he will leave the library as soon as possible, so that she can slip back, but how can she think that he doesn't want to leave.
The news that Chunke received was obviously that he had stayed in the library for a short time, and he was very quick to review official documents, how could it not be like that at all in Ye Xintian's opinion?
The official documents on Yi Sijin's desk were almost flipped through, and there was no other movement in the room, so he took out a silver leaf from his sleeve, held it between his index and middle fingers, concentrated his strength on his fingertips, and then threw the leaf towards the books on the high shelf.
And Ye Xintian, who was hiding in the corner, didn't know what was happening, and was hit on the top of his head by the book, and screamed out of surprise.
"Oops!"
"Who?" Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Yi Sijin hooked her lips and smiled, got up and walked towards the gap between the bookshelves.
Ye Xintian raised her hand and touched her smashed head, and a black shadow shrouded her.
"I didn't do anything." Ignoring the pain on the top of her head, she raised her hands to prove her innocence.
Seeing her panicked like a little rabbit, Yi Sijin smiled and asked, "How long have you been here, and what did you hear just now?" ”
"I didn't hear anything!" Ye Xintian knew he didn't believe it, but she had to say it.
"This king sent someone to spy on your father, and you don't have anything to ask?"
"That's your business, not mine."
It's not that Ye Xintian is in a hurry to clear up the relationship, it's that Ye Tianquan is at most the original father for her, and Ye Tianquan knocked her out and imprisoned her, and she hasn't settled the account yet.
Seeing that she wanted to escape, Yi Sijin immediately stretched out an arm, propped it on the bookshelf, stared at her intently, and said, "What, in a hurry to tell your father?" ”
"I'm not, I'm not." Ye Xintian shook his head like a rattle, emphasizing.
She can't go back to her original world for the time being, so she just wants to live well, and she doesn't want to get involved in any palace fights, she has no time and no interest.
Yi Sijin raised her eyebrows and looked at her who was squatting down more and more, reached out to pull her up, propped her arms on the wall, and trapped her in the middle, "Who took the initiative to bring you here?" All the documents stored here are confidential, how many have you read? ”
"Don't throw dirty water on me, I didn't see anything."
"Your father turned a blind eye to your nonsense three or four times, and even defaulted to it, last time we were caught raped in bed, didn't you have your father's help? Tell me, what are you trying to steal when you come in this time? ”
"Hey, you can eat things indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, don't call me a thief at every turn. Look here, have you lost anything? ”
Yi Sijin glanced at the wooden box not far away and said, "You are smart enough to know that things move and put them back in their original places." ”
"Are you determined to frame me?" Ye Xintian was so angry that he clutched his chest and said.
"If you show evidence, the king will believe you."
"Hmph." Ye Xintian snorted coldly, and then said, "You believe me? I'm afraid you believe your good cousin, didn't you immediately condemn me to death last time? ”
Yi Sijin pursed her lips, she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"I really don't think it's worth it for myself, you don't deserve it at all!" Ye Xintian said as he pushed his arm away and broke free from his captivity.
Yi Sijin didn't expect her to push herself away, when he used this trick before, no matter what he said, she only had to respond. Now, he had a feeling that he couldn't control her.
Yes, he hates other people's designs the most, but Ye Xintian designed him, so he hates her from the bottom of his heart. However, he misunderstood her about the gazebo.
With a 'bang', Ye Xintian ran out and slammed the door hard to show his dissatisfaction.
Yi Sijin couldn't cry or laugh a little, it was obviously him who was angry, why did he become her.
'Whew! Suddenly, the wind in my ears seemed to be cut by something quickly, making a piercing sound.
He spun on his heels, turned slightly to the side, and the silver needle grazed his arm, and then he raised his hand and flicked it, and the silver needle was trapped between his fingers.
"Dark arrows don't hurt people like your style." He looked at the window, and a figure rolled over and leaped in.
"You're ruthless enough, no one is more skilled than you in the urn." Xiang Ze sneered unceremoniously.
"She is the one who wants to stay by my side, how can I rest assured if I don't test it." Yi Sijin walked to the table as she spoke, picked up one of the books and flipped through it.
"But your trick is too ruthless, forcing her to choose between you and Ye Tianquan." Xiang Ze found a stool and sat down, played with the fan in his hand and said.
"We'll see tomorrow." Yi Sijin believes that her final choice will be him.
Xiang Ze didn't know where she got her confidence to think so, but he knew that Ye Xintian was a smart person, and she would make the most correct choice.
"What would you do to her if she wasn't on your side?" This is what Xiang Ze is worried about.
Yi Sijin has always been very confident in whatever she does, but Ye Xintian is his variable, and now that they are married, does this variable still exist?
"That won't change who we are."
"In the future, Ye Tianquan will fall, will you spare her life?" Xiang Ze felt that Ye Xintian had really changed a lot, and he was no longer as willful as before.
Yi Sijin didn't answer, but closed the official book, threw it to Xiang Ze, and said, "Hurry up and arrange your affairs, I don't want to see cover-up." ”
Xiang Ze pinched the official book, knew the contents without opening it, and sighed: "I hope you won't regret it in the future." ”
"Then it's up to her to behave tomorrow." Yi Sijin is a mysterious and secret way.

"Princess, princess, get up!" Chunke lifted the curtain, gently patted the shoulder of the person on the bed, and whispered.
Ye Xintian woke up slowly, saw that it was Chunke, and said, "Don't disturb me, I haven't woken up yet." ”
"Princess, I can't sleep anymore, today is the day when the three dynasties return to the door, the return gifts are ready, the carriage is waiting at the gate of the mansion, and you will be sent to it." Chunke tugged at her arm to prevent her from falling asleep.
In the end, under Chunke's chatter, Ye Xintian got up with half-squinted eyes to make up and wash, and was led to the door of the house.
A luxurious carriage was parked outside the palace, followed by many slaves, holding boxes of different sizes of red silk.
Fang Qi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hurry up and get into the carriage, so as not to miss the hour." ”
Ye Xintian raised her hand and rubbed her temples, she was in a very bad mood before she woke up, her eyes were full of bloodshots, she asked, "What about your prince?" ”
She remembered that it was the custom for the bride to take the groom back to her parents' house three days after the wedding.
"The prince said he was late." Fang Qi was a little nervous, rubbed his hands and said.
Ye Xintian sneered dissatisfiedly and said, "He doesn't want to go." ”
The people present lowered their heads one after another, not daring to speak.
Ye Xintian stepped into the carriage, sat down firmly and said through the curtain: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go!" ”
Yi Sijin, you remember it for me, the face I lost today will be recovered from you sooner or later! She clenched her fists and swore in her heart.
