The room was stuffy, and Ji Nanrou's words made Mei Xiaoren even more anxious, and he unfolded his folding fan and fluttered into the wind, without saying a word.

"Senior brother didn't tell you about this?"

"Why does it seem to Miss Ji that what Xiangye does is for me?" Mei Xiaoren pretended to be puzzled, looked at Ji Nanrou, and said calmly, "Ye Zhi is the son of General Ye, since he has entered the General's Mansion, he only relies on the glory of his ancestors, and he can't say it without his own military merits. ”

"Opportunity?" Ji Nanrou covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's a shame that you have been an official in the court for many years, and you can't even tell the difference between opportunity and disaster." Senior brother means to let Ye Zhi take command of the battle, leading the army to fight is not child's play, he can't afford to bear this burden as a person who has never really been on the battlefield, once he leaves Beijing, he must be a sinner when he comes back! ”

Mei Xiaoren was silent. How could she not know that Ye Zhi's expedition would do more harm than good, and sinners couldn't talk about it, but this was the first battle he fought, once he lost, not only would he lose face, but also damage the prestige of his father's generation, and the reputation of the Zhenguo General's Mansion in Daning would suddenly weaken at that time.

Chu Yu didn't tell her about this, she didn't say a word, but she would rather believe that Chu Yu was trying to weaken the power of the Guogong Mansion than that he was targeting Ye Zhi.

"Two men are incompatible because they like you at the same time, do you not only feel guilty, but also proud?"

Mei Xiaoren frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"You only have senior brother in your eyes, of course I don't know who else covets you, but Ye Zhi can't compete with senior brother, and he will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the senior brother to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Ji Nanrou sighed lightly, "He likes you, but he is setting himself on fire." ”

"Xiangye sent Ye Zhi to go on the expedition has nothing to do with me, the friendship between me and Ye Zhi is the same as in the past, there is nothing to salivate as you said!"

"Senior brother, do you believe it, if he doesn't believe it, then do you think he took Ye Zhi because of something else?"

Regarding Ji Nanrou's words, Mei Xiaoren has always been in and out of the left ear, but this sentence pierced her heart.

Chu Yuxin?

Of course I don't believe it, because the first person who said that Ye Zhi was interested in her was Chu Yu.

"In fact, the matter of the northern expedition to Qiluo has been undecided, although the senior brother proposed that Ye Zhi lead the troops to go, but His Majesty asked the senior brother to consider it, and the senior brother did not insist on his own opinion, but insisted on letting Ye Zhi go at the court meeting yesterday, what happened during this period, will you not know?"

Ji Nanrou meant that Chu Yu sent Ye Zhi to go on an expedition from casually mentioning that she insisted on her own opinions, and the interval was just a few days when she was in the palace.

So Chu Yu will have such a change, because of the events of that night?

Could it be that Chu Yu is also like Haoyang to Ye Zhi, who seems to be forgiving, but actually wants to settle accounts after the autumn?

Mei Xiaoren's mind became heavy, but Ji Nanrou was sitting in front of her, she couldn't let go of her defense, she didn't know how many words were true or false, and she wouldn't believe them easily.

Ji Nanrou also paid attention to Mei Xiaoren's reaction, except for frowning, her expression did not change much, it can be seen that it is not enough for her to say here with one mouth, so she asked, "Do you know why I invited you here?" ”

"I'm not you, how do I know?" Mei Xiaoren deserves to be indifferent.

"I know you can't trust me, so I have to let Ye Zhi tell you in person that he has to lead troops to patrol the city every day, and he will pass by Dongshi at noon, I have already told Xiao Er to invite him to come up in a while, so that you can ask him clearly in person."

Mei Xiaoren said coldly: "Governor Ye is busy with business, I don't want to disturb him." ”

"Don't use this as an excuse, are you afraid that you will be caught in the middle and uncomfortable after learning the truth?" Ji Nanrou said slowly, "But their conflict is because of you, you stand by and watch, do you want to watch Ye Zhi die in the hands of your senior brother?" Then what is the friendship as before! ”

Ji Nanrou's city is much deeper than Haoyang, and every word she says here is a response, as if she is stabbing a knife in her heart, slowly deepening.

Ji Nanrou said: "Okay, before he comes, let me tell you something about the past senior brother, okay?" ”

"Once upon a time?"

"Do you know that the young people of the royal family don't dare to call their senior brother brother, why does Haoyang dare?"

"What kind of strange and interesting thing is this, there is something in the world that Princess Haoyang does not dare to do?"

"Haoyang used to be able to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he could wantonly disturb the deliberations between the senior brother and the ministers, and he could pester the senior brother in front of the ministers, but the senior brother never punished her, not even reprimanded." Ji Nanrou let out a long sigh, "But all this has changed since you appeared." ”

"Is Miss Ji going to say that I'm a scourge again?" Mei Xiaoren couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's not that Chu Yu has changed, it's not that I shouldn't have appeared, it's that the princess has become too unscrupulous, which makes people unbearable and can't complain about others." ”

"It was you who forced a naïve little girl to be so unscrupulous as she is now, if Old Madam Gu is still alive, she will definitely not accept you as her daughter-in-law."

Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable, "What's the matter with Mrs. Guan?" ”

"You don't know yet, the old lady used to treat Princess Haoyang as a daughter and was extremely close to her, so Haoyang called her brother brother when she was a child, and she could go in and out of the Gu Mansion at will." Ji Nanrou said again, "Senior brother doesn't like her, but for the sake of the old lady, he has always treated her well, but now for your sake, he wants to personally expel Haoyang from Daning and rush to the poor countryside of Wuzhu." You say, if the old lady is still there, will she complain about her senior brother or will she complain about you? ”

Without waiting for Mei Xiaoren to speak, Ji Nanrou replied to herself: "I guess, the old lady will complain together, complain about the unfilial piety of the senior brother, and complain about your narrow-mindedness!" ”

It's another thing that Chu Yu didn't mention a word......

It turns out that Haoyang is not an orphan girl whose father does not kiss, her mother does not love, and the queen mother does not care, she is cared about, or Mrs. Gu, who does not eat fireworks in the world and has a cold and withdrawn temperament, which is really unthinkable......

While Mei Xiaoren was pondering, a voice came from outside the door: "Guest officer, the young general is here." ”

"Ask him to come in." Ji Nanrou responded.

The door opened, and Xiao Er raised his hand to guide Ye Zhi, "Major General, please." ”

Ye Zhi has always had no good face towards Ji Nanrou, but when he saw that there was still Mei Xiaoren in the house, the dark clouds on his face suddenly dispersed, but because of Ji Nanrou's presence, he didn't call her name.

Ji Nanrou said politely: "Major General, please take a seat." ”

Ye Zhi was indifferent, stood up and asked, "What is Miss Ji looking for me?" ”

"It's Miss Xiao who has something to ask you, and she wants to ask about Senior Brother sending you north to conquer Qiluo...... Is it true? ”

Mei Xiaoren came back to his senses, looked up at Ye Zhi, and his frowning brows still didn't let go, "Old Ye, is there really such a thing?" ”

Ye Zhi fell silent, as if he didn't want to answer, or didn't know how to answer.

The two of them have been together for many years, and Mei Xiaoren can guess the answer from Ye Zhi's reaction without Ye Zhi's answer.

She replied softly, "I see......"
