Chapter 180: A Chance Encounter in the Palace
The people in the shadows can actually play Concubine Xuan around, and the noble Yi knows that he is not the opponent of the other party at all!
In the past few years since entering the palace, the nobles have been relying on the big tree of Xuan Concubine. First, she is from an average background, and it is difficult to get ahead in the harem, and secondly, Concubine Xuan is brave and strategic, and she is a master worth following.
Yi Guiren didn't expect that in this harem, it was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This time, the master only used a short move, and Concubine Xuan had no place to turn over.
When Ye Lingxi came to the door, Guiren Yi was even more frightened and half dead.
Yi nobles also believe that the matter of Concubine Xuan is likely to be directed and acted by Ye Lingxi, and the purpose is to expel Concubine Xuan from the palace.
Therefore, in order to avoid a head-to-head confrontation with Ye Lingxi, Yi Guiren pretended to be sick.
"Queen Mother, please forgive the concubine for not daring to meet the Queen Mother. cough cough cough ......"
"The concubine has occasionally felt the wind chill recently, and I am afraid that the wind cold will be dyed to the queen's mother, cough cough cough cough ......"
"The queen's daughter's body, the concubines are really scared, cough cough cough ......"
Yi Guiren hid behind the bed curtain, coughed a few times when he said two words, but he didn't come out to see Ye Lingxi.
Although Ye Lingxi knew that Guiren Yi was pretending to be sick, she couldn't break in, and even if she broke in, she couldn't pierce Guiren Yi.
In the end, Ye Lingxi had no choice but to walk away. However, the attitude of the noble people has proved in disguise that the matter of Concubine Xuan is indeed strange!
Xiao Yumo heard about the appearance of the secret weapon of the General's Mansion in the palace, and he was very anxious, for fear that Ye Lingxi would misunderstand the General's Mansion.
On this day, Xiao Yumo took the opportunity to discuss the matter of the Thousand Poison Gate with Yu Wenyin in the palace, and did not go straight to the outside of the palace, but stayed in the palace for some time, looking forward to meeting Ye Lingxi by chance.
If this person is very much looking forward to something happening, then the probability of this thing happening will be greatly increased.
Xiao Yumo really met Ye Lingxi. From afar, he saw the delicate and charming back, strolling along the path, followed only by a little eunuch.
"Ling Xi!"
Xiao Yumo's surprise was undisguised.
Ye Lingxi turned his head and saw Xiao Yumo, he was also very surprised, with a smile on his face, and waved his hand vigorously.
"Yu Mo, what a coincidence!"
Xiao Yumo ran up two steps and ran to stand in front of Ye Lingxi.
"Ling Xi, I've heard about the secret weapon. You believe me, Concubine Jia definitely did not use the secret weapon of the General's Mansion to murder you, and some of the secret weapon of the General's Mansion was lost a few days ago, and it is likely that it was stolen by the murderer. ”
Facing Xiao Yumo's eager explanation, Ye Lingxi smiled indifferently.
"It's okay, I didn't misunderstand your sister. This matter, the emperor judged that it was done by Concubine Xuan, and the murderer has been punished. ”
"That's good......"
Knowing that Ye Lingxi had not misunderstood at all, Xiao Yumo's heart relaxed, but then, he didn't know what to say.
To be honest, he wasn't sure why he was so worried about Ye Lingxi's misunderstanding. Perhaps, it was because he didn't want him to have any stain in Ye Lingxi's heart.
"What about you? How is everything? Job...... Belch...... Are things going well in the imperial court? ”
In fact, Ye Lingxi was just polite and cared about Xiao Yumo's work, but she thought that there was no such thing as "work" in ancient times.
Since Xiao Yumo is an official of the imperial court, his work should be related to the imperial court.
However, Ye Lingxi asked about the imperial court, but Xiao Yumo subconsciously became vigilant.
"By the way, Ling Xi, last time you were burned, I always wanted to ask you, how is the injury?"
Ye Lingxi saw Xiao Yumo's intention to change the topic, and politely did not poke him.
"A small injury, it's almost better."
Actually, Ye Lingxi's impression of Xiao Yumo himself is still good. Honest and kind, both civil and military, this is a friend worth making.
It's just that the two of them have different positions and are destined to barely maintain a superficial relationship......
Xiao Yumo naturally didn't know Ye Lingxi's inner calculations, in his heart, Ye Lingxi had always been a lively woman without any scheming, so unique and beautiful.
"Hmm...... Ling Xi, you ......"
Xiao Yumo wanted to speak and stopped, twisting and pinching.
"What's wrong? Haha......"
Ye Lingxi still greeted him with a smile and waited patiently for Xiao Yumo's next words.
However, in fact, even Xiao Yumo himself didn't know what he wanted to say to Ye Lingxi.
The identities of the two of them, in fact, have nothing to say. However, Xiao Yumo just wanted to say a few more words to Ye Lingxi, even if it was just a casual chat.
After eating steamed buns together outside the palace that day, Xiao Yumo always couldn't help but think of Ye Lingxi, her naughty appearance when she snatched the buns from his chopsticks, and the gentle smile when she fed him the buns.
Before meeting Ye Lingxi, Xiao Yumo had never wanted to get close to a woman like this.
"Oh, by the way, the clothes we went to do last time should be ready, I want to go out of the palace to pick up the clothes another day, when you are free, let's go together, and invite you to have a meal by the way."
Just when Xiao Yumo couldn't think of anything to say, Ye Lingxi took the initiative to mention the matter of leaving the palace, and invited Xiao Yumo to travel together.
Xiao Yumo was suddenly a little ecstatic.
"I ...... It's okay any day, but let's listen to the emperor's arrangement......"
Although he was delighted, Xiao Yumo did not forget that Ye Lingxi wanted to leave the palace and who he wanted to leave the palace with, all of which needed Yu Wenyin's approval.
But in Ye Lingxi's view, Xiao Yumo is simply a topic terminator. Originally, this was one of her troubles, and Xiao Yumo specially mentioned it, so that she really couldn't continue to take the next sentence......
So, Ye Lingxi found an excuse to say goodbye to Xiao Yumo.
"There's something else in my palace, I'll go back first."
After speaking, Ye Lingxi turned around and left without looking back, leaving Xiao Yumo alone, unknown in place.
Xiao Yumo, who was standing in place, scratched his head suspiciously.
Ye Lingxi's attitude changed, Xiao Yumo could still feel it. However, he couldn't understand why Ye Lingxi was suddenly unhappy...... All he knew was that he seemed to have screwed up something......
This person who falls in love, whether male or female, has a plummeting IQ. No matter how complicated the relationship between the court and the court, the smart Xiao Yumo can analyze it, but he can't analyze the reason why Ye Lingxi is unhappy.
Ye Lingxi, who was thinking about how to leave the palace with Xingchen, and Xiao Yumo, who was analyzing the reason why the woman in his heart was unhappy, did not find that under a tree in the distance, Yu Wenyin was looking at the two of them from afar, and saw the interaction between the two of them along the way, and the expression on his face was obscure.
After returning to Xingliu Palace, Ye Lingxi began to study the strategy of leaving the palace.
Previously, Ye Lingxi deliberately burned himself just to avoid sleeping. Later, the burn was almost healed, and before she could think about the next step, she was plotted.
After a life-and-death struggle, the scalded part became inflamed again, but it was finally healed, and now, her leg has been completely healed, but it has left a small scar, a little ugly.
Yu Wenyin didn't know that her leg had been completely healed, if she proposed to leave the palace, wouldn't it be a disguised admission that her injuries had healed...... Wouldn't that be going to be able to hide from the attendants again......
Ye Lingxi now has to make a choice between continuing to pretend that the burn has not healed and leaving the palace.
Just when Ye Lingxi was scratching his ears and cheeks and struggling with these two options, Yu Wenyin came.
"Husband?"
"Xi'er's leg injury has healed?"
Yu Wenyin got straight to the point, and asked Ye Lingxi directly, but he didn't know how to answer.
"Well...... There's still a little bit of a faint ache......"
Ye Lingxi said as she pinched her right thumb and index finger together and gestured, how big a "little bit" she was talking about.
"Then it will be a little longer."
"Uh-huh! Right, right...... I'll talk about it in a little while. ”
Ye Lingxi naturally thought that Yu Wenyin was referring to the matter of serving in bed.
"What more do you want to say?"
Yu Wenyin's sudden rhetorical question caught Ye Lingxi off guard.
"Ah...... That one...... I also want to say...... I want to go out of the palace and have fun......"
Ye Lingxi took the opportunity to put forward his own plan, intending to test Yu Wenyin's attitude.
"Well, that's exactly what I had in mind. The last autumn hunt didn't go well, and I'm going to reschedule an autumn hunt in a few days, just in time to take you out for a walk. ”
Yu Wenyin's words made Ye Lingxi almost choke on his own saliva.
"Huh?! Ahem...... You just said ...... After a while, are you talking about going to autumn hunting? ”
"yes, what do you think?"
……
Ye Lingxi touched his hair awkwardly, his eyes were erratic, and he picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea.
"Nothing, nothing...... That, autumn hunting is good! I like it! When do we depart? ”
"Wait until your leg injury is completely healed before you leave."
"Then I'll be fine now! Thoroughly done! ”
In order to show his health status, Ye Lingxi deliberately jumped up. Jumping around, it really doesn't look like he's hurt at all.
"Didn't you just say that there was a little bit of a dull ache?"
Yu Wenyin learned Ye Lingxi's gesture and pinched together with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, leaving only a narrow gap.
"You said it, that was just now! It doesn't hurt anymore! It doesn't hurt at all! We're ready to go for the autumn hunt right away! ”
Regarding Ye Lingxi's eccentric appearance, Yu Wenyin felt funny and helpless.
"Okay, then I'll arrange it, and I'll be ready to leave in a few days."
"Okay! Hey! ”
Ye Lingxi is really happy, she likes to go out of the palace to play, and more importantly, when she leaves the palace, she can find a chance to talk to Xingchen alone.
"That'...... Does Xi'er want to think about it...... It's supposed to be my bed......"
Really! Ye Lingxi knew that this Yuwen Yin would not give up if he did not reach his goal!
