Chapter 247: Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Defend Against (1)
Yeli looked at her with strange eyes, and said coldly, "You seem to trust him very much?"
"Of course. The ancients said: There is no doubt about employing people, but not for suspicious people. Since we asked him to come back and heal his wounds, we should believe him. Isn't it? β
Yeli didn't say anything, looking up and staring away.
Although Ye Mengmeng's words are so, but the fourth master's human nature is changeable and elusive, and she actually doesn't dare to guarantee 100% that the only thing that can be sure is that his kindness to Yeli is true, and he will not do anything that harms Yeli's interests.
The two stood silently in the outer room, waiting anxiously, and it took almost half an hour before they heard a hoarse voice from inside.
"Come in!"
The two of them jumped in a heartbeat and quickly glanced at each other. Yeli pushed the door with a calm face. Ye Mengmeng hurriedly followed.
Inside, the fourth master sat cross-legged on the couch, his eyes closed, his face was pale, and he looked extremely weak.
Qiao Siyan was lying crooked on the couch, drenched in sweat.
"Words?" Yeli and Ye Mengmeng were taken aback, and hurriedly rushed over to investigate.
Qiao Siyan woke up slowly, raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's okay, I'm much better......"
Ye Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her eyes to see the fourth master sitting on the edge of the couch, her face was very bad, she was a little worried, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
Fourth Master Xiao slowly opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's okay!"
Ye Mengmeng saw that although he looked tired, he was generally in good spirits, and his heart was a little calm.
The fourth master said: "Now that the wound in his heart has been repaired, he can recuperate for another month."
Ye Mengmeng said happily: "Great, then thank you, Master."
The fourth master snorted coldly and said nothing. Yeli tried Jos's pulse, and saw that his pulse was calm, and the speed was moderate, knowing that what the fourth master said was true, and a stone in his heart finally fell. I wanted to say a few words of gratitude to the fourth master, but he had never been good at words, and he hesitated for a while, but after all, he didn't say anything.
At this moment, someone outside the door announced.
"Lord Wang, there are people from the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion outside the door, who want to see Sister Ye......"
Yeli was stunned, glanced at Ye Mengmeng, and frowned: "Who is here?"
"Back to the prince, it seems to be ...... The eldest prince of the Hou Mansion! β
"Big brother? I'll take a look. Ye Mengmeng turned around and ran out.
Yeli stared at her back, speechless.
At the gate of Jinzhou Mansion, a young and handsome boy in a cyan Confucian shirt was walking around, looking a little anxious. It was Ye Chengxuan, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion.
"Big brotherβ"
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind him. He was shocked, and when he turned his head, a blue girl flew in the distance like a bird.
"Big brother, why are you here?"
Ye Chengxuan was relieved when he saw that his sister was safe and sound, and she was still more beautiful than in the past. After calming down for a while, his anger rose, and he reproached: "Sister, you are too ignorant, you will not return for a few days when you go out, what is your father and mother anxious about, you are still very comfortable here?"
"Big brother......" Ye Mengmeng felt guilty, "It's all because my sister is not careful, just because I have encountered a lot of things in the past few days, my sister can't change for a while, and she didn't go back to the house to report her safety, it's my sister's, don't be angry, big brother." β
Hearing the girl's soft apology, Ye Chengxuan's anger subsided a little, and he remembered the gossip in the capital in the past few days. asked in a low voice: "Sister, eldest brother heard that something happened to the princess's mansion in front of you, I don't know if you have implicated your sister?"
Ye Mengmeng thought for a while and said, "Big brother, that matter is a bit complicated, it's difficult to clear up for a while, and I'll be free later, okay?"
"Available?" Ye Chengxuan shook his head and said, sighed and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be free in the future?" β
"How?" Ye Mengmeng was stunned.
"Sister, you forgot, Ming'er is the day you enter the palace, once you enter the palace, it will be difficult to meet once, where is it still as free as at home? Not to mention ......"
"Into the palace?" Ye Mengmeng was startled, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, did the emperor send someone to take me into the palace?" β
"Yes, this morning, the emperor's father-in-law will come to the mansion, let me get ready, and the palace will come to pick up people."
"Ming'er?" Ye Mengmeng glanced around at no one, quickly pulled the eldest brother to the side, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, you have to think of a way, I don't want to enter the palace." β
"Don't want to enter the palace?" Ye Chengxuan was surprised, "How can that work?" The decree has been sent down to the house, can it be shirked? The emperor's will, who dares to resist the will and disrespect it? β
"But ......" Ye Mengmeng didn't get entangled, and thought about it, "That's it, big brother, you go back to the house first, and I'll go back to the house tomorrow, okay?" β
Ye Chengxuan's expression became serious: "Sister, can you not be so willful?" Mom and Dad are waiting for you to come home, but here you are...... Be obedient and go back with your big brother? β
"Big brother, I really have something to do......
"What's the big deal?" Ye Chengxuan was impatient.
"Big brother, that's the case, Qiao Siyan was seriously injured in order to save me, and I just got better today, I can't just walk away......"
"Jossy? You and him...... Together? Ye Chengxuan's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Sister, you are the one who is about to enter the palace, but don't mess around." Otherwise......"
"Oh, big brother, it's not what you think, Qiao Siyan and I are really just friends, don't think about ......"
"That's fine! Let's go home with my big brother right away! Ye Chengxuan said.
"Big brother, why don't you do this?" Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Ye Chengxuan easily, Ye Mengmeng had no choice but to say, "Let me go in and say to Qiao Si, and I'll come out immediately, okay?" β
"No," Ye Chengxuan's face became even more ugly, "Sister, why are you so ignorant?" Your identity is different now, and you rationally avoid all foreign men, don't you understand? β
"Big brother, but ......" Ye Mengmeng felt that it was too difficult to communicate with her eldest brother, and looking at Ye Chengxuan's appearance, she would never give up if she didn't go back today. She had nothing to do, and suddenly her heart fluttered.
No, no, she can't follow Ye Chengxuan back, she is sure that as soon as she goes back, she will be strictly guarded until the people in the Ming Palace enter the mansion.
What to do? What to do?
Ma Ma fan, she doesn't want to enter the palace......
At this moment, she suddenly felt a flower on the top of her head, and a figure floated by, her heart moved, and she was immediately overjoyed, and shouted, "Master?"
The figure paused, landed on the branch, and looked down at her with staggering eyes. It is the fourth master.
"Girl? What's wrong? β
"Master, isn't your old man going to teach me martial arts?" For today's plan, the only way to do this is to bring the fourth master out as a shield.
"Martial arts?" The fourth master touched his head, "Yes, Lao Tzu has said this, but now is not the time, Lao Tzu's internal strength has been consumed a lot, and he is not in the mood to teach his disciples, let's wait a while, ah?" β
