Chapter 207: The Beginning and the End
In the early morning, the sun has not yet covered the earth, and the surroundings are covered in gray, and the five fingers can be seen when you reach out, but it is hazy, this is the so-called darkness before dawn.
The earth was still sleeping, and the surroundings were eerily quiet, and among the nine-curved bridges on the lake, a slender figure shuttled through it, and soon disappeared into the woods; Under the eaves hung the dew condensed by mist, which was sharp, as if it would hit the people below in the next second; The man was wearing a black cloak with a cap over his head, obscuring his appearance, making it difficult to distinguish between a man and a woman.
I saw that this person walked very fast, shuttling between different buildings, as if he was very familiar with King Jin's Mansion, and finally stopped in a courtyard and got into it familiarly.
"Sister, I'm here." When the man entered the room, he took off his cloak and hat, and said.
Chen Chuchu lit the candle flame, plucked the wick, the shadow flickered a few times, and then returned to normal, she said: "My sister came earlier than usual today, did something good happen?" ”
The corners of Su Bao'er's mouth rose, and the joy was written on her face, it was difficult not to let people see it, she took out a pile of papers full of words from her arms, and said, "We can bring down Ye Xintian immediately, you and I can sit in the position of Princess Jin, as long as she is not sitting!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Chuchu saw that she said so conclusively, and his heart became excited.
They are now subject to Ye Xintian, but they just have a handle in Ye Xintian's hand, once this handle is eliminated, the Chen family and the Su family can bring down Ye Xintian at any time. The reason why they don't dare to act rashly is simply because it's not yet time.
Now that Su Bao'er said that she can be brought down, it proves that she has a certain degree of certainty, and now that Ye Xintian is grounded in King Jin's Mansion, the spearhead of everything is pointed at her, if they use it, maybe they don't have to do it themselves, and someone will naturally do it for them.
However, they have to be famous. For a long time, they have not been able to grasp Ye Xintian's handle, obviously they are the same person, the same face, but their personalities are completely different, but this cannot be used as an entry point.
Therefore, Chen Chuchu and Su Baoer have been working hard to find evidence. Now that Su Baoer can say it, it proves that she is sure, and Chen Chuchu is very happy.
"Sister, please see." Su Bao'er handed half of the paper to Chen Chuchu, and raised her eyebrows to signal her to take a look first.
Chen Chuchu looked at it seriously, frowned halfway through it, and said, "Isn't this what Ye Xintian did absurdly before?" What else to take it out for? ”
"Sister, let's look at the next one." Su Bao'er sold it and handed her the rest of the paper.
The more Chen Chuchu looked down, the more frowning he became, how could there be such a big difference between the past and the present? It's like a completely different person, if a person can change his appearance, but the way and means of doing things are completely different from before, then it is worth studying.
"Do you suspect that Ye Xintian is not the same person?" Chen Chuchu asked.
Su Bao'er nodded, corrected her and said, "It's not a suspicion, it's definitely not the same person." ”
"When did you start suspecting her?" Chen Chuchu knew that Su Baoer's vexatious troubles were pretended to be shown to others, but she was actually thoughtful.
"Sister, do you remember Cheng Yun being kicked out of King Jin's mansion?"
"Yes." How could Chen Chuchu forget that this incident almost burned their heads, and it was precisely because of that time that Ye Xintian's every move would be included in their surveillance.
Su Bao'er narrowed her eyes, and then said: "The matter is not as simple as we thought, this matter has not passed, to be precise, Ye Xintian's maid Chunke is still secretly investigating this matter." ”
"This matter also has something to do with the crown princess?" Chen Chuchu's eyes widened and he made a bold guess.
Su Bao'er nodded, and then said: "Yes, this matter has been investigated by me, and it is widely implicated, and Cheng Yun is just a disobedient outcast." ”
"The crown princess, Bai Weiwei, Cheng Yun, the relationship between these three people is not ordinary." Chen Chuchu observed on weekdays, and the three of them seemed to be incompatible, but he didn't expect to have such a close relationship in private.
"Sister doesn't know if I've heard an old news, the second lady of the General's Mansion Lantern Festival Lantern Night, a secret meeting with a lover."
"I've heard of it, but not many people know about it, it should be the General's Mansion that has suppressed the matter."
"This lover, the second lady has been in love for a long time, but she was snatched away by the eldest sister, and she was asked to marry in public at the palace banquet, so the sisters turned against each other."
"That lover is King Jin?" Chen Chuchu was shocked, but how could this be?
Yi Sijin and Ye Tianquan are incompatible in the court, the general's daughter falls in love with King Jin, the general will definitely oppose it, they are impossible.
"We don't know what the truth is, but some people do talk about it in private, and they don't dare to put it in the open."
"Therefore, it was Ye Xintian who was behind the investigation of Cheng Yun's drugging incident, ostensibly thinking that it was over, but in fact sending Chunke to investigate secretly, but somehow, the crown princess knew about it, the princess arrested Chunke, Ye Xintian tried his best to find Chunke, but he didn't expect the final result to be the disfigurement of the crown princess."
"That's right."
"I said why Ye Xintian was so nervous about Chunke's whereabouts, it turned out that he was afraid of leaking secrets."
"Therefore, the sisters turned against each other because of a man, who created today's situation."
"However, this incident tells us not to offend Ye Xintian, she is very scheming, long-term, and will bite us back at any time." Chen Chuchu said with one hand holding his chin.
Su Bao'er nodded in favor and said, "Then let's not give her this chance!" ”
The day is getting brighter, dispelling all the gray, but intrigue is born in the sun, and everything will find its best home, not now, but in the near future.
★★★★★★
On a sunny morning, Ye Xintian got up early in the morning, tidied up the flower beds after washing, got rid of the old ones, sprinkled new seeds, grabbed the tail of late autumn, and thrived before the winter came, facing the cold winter.
Ye Xintian stepped out of the flower garden, Qingling handed over a clean towel, she took the hand that was full of mud, and asked, "Is Chunke better today?" ”
"It's much better, the gold sore medicine applied by the princess is very effective, and the wound scabs quickly." Qingling said with a smile on her lips.
Ye Xintian looked up and stared at the blue sky, time passed so fast, seven days had passed before he knew it. According to her original expectations, she was grounded for three days at most, but she didn't expect that after so many days, Emperor Chen and the crown prince's anger had not subsided.
Last night, Yi Sijin came to her room on time to go to bed, saying that she was worried that the prince would come out at night and break into the palace, so he would stay with her. However, he goes out early and returns late every day, and when she wakes up the next day, it is already cold around her, and he must be running for her business.
With such a big favor, how can she repay it, I'm afraid that she can't promise each other enough, right?
Now that seven days had passed, she seriously doubted that Emperor Chen had forgotten to lift her grounding, or was he really angry until now?
She was thinking about things seriously, and suddenly there was a noise in her ears, she looked at Qingling, and Qingling immediately spoke in her ear.
"Princess, General Ye is here, he is at the gate of the palace, ask if you want to do it, he has time to wait." Qing Ling didn't want to upset the princess's good mood, but she didn't expect these people to be so talkative that they would come to Mingyue Pavilion.
Ye Xintian hooked her lips coldly, thinking to herself that she was also a daughter, why she was treated so differently. Ye Tingquan never asked her if she was injured, and was only worried about Ye Tingcheng's appearance.
"What did the prince say?" Yes, after all, it's not her who calls the shots now, you have to ask Yi Sijin.
Qing Ling lowered her eyes, and said with worry in her eyes: "The prince said that it was good to eat and drink to greet General Ye, but if there is no holy decree, don't enter the palace." ”
"Okay, I got it." Ye Xintian felt the indifference of his biological father one second, but the next second he had to be protected by Yi Sijin, half cold and half warm in his heart.
Ye Xintian thinks that she has done everything she should do, and she doesn't need to be responsible for Ye Tianquan. The ointment she had prepared by herself, and she ordered someone to bring it over and spread the word that it could remove some scars, and she returned untouched; asked someone to say that she could help Ye Qingcheng take a look, and everyone sarcastically ridiculed her as a weasel to give New Year's greetings to chickens; She also told Yi Sijin that she asked him to bring a message to Ye Tianquan, saying that it should be her responsibility, and she must bear it, but don't wronged her if she hasn't done it, but Ye Tianquan still leads troops to guard the gate of the palace every day, she doesn't know if this is a threat, or arrest her to confess.
She never thought that the Jin Wangfu that she wanted to leave the most had now become her shelter, giving her great peace of mind, to be precise, Yi Sijin protected her.
I feel that she owes Yi Sijin a lot of favors recently, and she is not in a hurry, she just learned about the old one, and the new one is here again, if it goes on like this, when will she be able to pay it back? Can she still leave King Jin's Mansion?
Qingling saw that she didn't speak for a while, sitting in a daze, so she asked, "Is the princess sad?" ”
Ye Xintian shook his head, instead of worrying about what he didn't have, it was better to go to the secret room to see Li Hongpeng's situation, he stayed in the dark secret room for seven days, and whoever else would go crazy.
"I'll go into the house and rest for a while, if you knock on the door and I don't come back, you will continue to be busy with your own business, and I will naturally call you when I wake up." Ye Xintian said while standing up.
"Yes, Princess." Qingling blessed her body and turned around and walked out of Mingyue Pavilion.
Ye Xintian walked into the room, and when he turned around to close the door, he looked at the courtyard carefully, and after confirming that there was no one, he closed the door and closed the bolt, then twisted the vase and entered the secret passage.
Before she could reach the innermost, she heard the sword cut through the air, and one after another sword qi came towards her, shaving her face painfully.
A picture flashed through her mind, her back against the cold wall, her delirious face in front of her, and her scarlet eyes, like a tiger, trying to swallow her alive, a chill in her neck, and then she had trouble breathing.
"Master?" Ye Xintian shouted in a trembling voice.
