Xiao Xijiu in the carriage also woke up and looked at Ye Xingchen beside him, leaning on him very sweetly in his heart, looking at this strange and familiar face stupidly. didn't want to take off his disguise, Ye Xingchen didn't resist at all, his eyes were doting and gentle, and he let Xiaoxi be willful.

"I want to see what you really are, or I think you're so far away from me."

The faces of the two were tightly pressed together, Ye Xingchen hugged Xiaoxi tightly, and his hand gently touched his eyebrows, eyes, face, nose and lips one by one.

"Xiaoxi, promise me, you can't be so foolish next time, do you know how worried I am about you today."

"Jiuye, are you angry, it's me who is not good, you came out like this, I dragged you down, I'm sorry!"

"Fool, never say sorry to me,"

Ye Xingchen heard Xiaoxi's guilt and kissed her forehead, and firmly hugged Xiaoxi's body. Xiaoxi suddenly remembered something, and took out a bag of things wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve, and Xiaoxi opened the handkerchief and there were a few pastries inside.

"Hehehehe, this is the pastry I just secretly hidden, this is precious, I have never eaten such a delicious before, I hid four pieces, you eat two pieces, and leave two pieces for my mother, you must taste it, it's just a little cold."

"It's okay,"

Ye Xingchen didn't think about it, he took a bite elegantly, his heart was both satisfied and sad, these pastries were no longer ordinary in the palace, he never ate them, but he was so precious to Xiaoxi, and his heart was a little sad, if his mother concubine would not believe that her son would eat sweets.

"It's delicious!"

"It's delicious, as long as it's given by you, everything is delicious!"

"I only ate one piece, and I found it so delicious, so I thought I would give you and my mother a taste!"

Ye Xingchen saw that Xiaoxi cared so much about himself, he was both moved and sweet, there is nothing happier in the world than the person he likes, always putting himself in his heart. For Ye Xingchen, he has no regrets about having a little joy in his life.

After Ye Xingchen came back, Feng Ping blamed himself, after all, it was Xiaoxi's trouble that made him in danger.

"Lord Wang, it's the little girl Hu Lai, let the prince ............"

Ye Xingchen stopped Feng Ping with a wave of his hand, his expression was still a little joyful, and he only heard him whisper softly,

"It's okay, I'm willing to do anything for her."

Feng Ping was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he didn't expect Ye Xingchen to care so much about his daughter.

"Uncle Feng, I saw Xue Xiang today,"

Feng Ping became unnaturally alert when he heard this,

"Lord, did he recognize you?"

"Uncle Feng, don't panic, he didn't recognize me, and even if he did, he wouldn't be a threat to us."

Feng Ping was obviously a little worried, this Xue Xiang was the son of Xue Yushi, if he found out Ye Xingchen's whereabouts, if he spread it, it would be dangerous to Ye Xingchen, but is this prince confused, why is he still so calm that he can't threaten him.

Ye Xingchen didn't have those worries, and quietly pondered the problems caused by Xue Xiang's appearance, but Feng Ping couldn't sit still, it seemed that their prince didn't take it seriously.

"Lord Wang, do we want to send someone to the county seat to inquire and watch Xue Xiang's origin."

"No need, I said it, this Xue Xiang will not affect us, firstly, he has no official position and no real power, let alone become the eyes and ears of anyone in the palace, and secondly, he himself seems to be flamboyant and domineering, and he is really clear-minded, and he will never be confused in the face of major rights and wrongs, even if he recognizes me, he will never leak my whereabouts and let myself fall into a place of right and wrong,"

Ye Xingchen knew this person very well, Feng Ping saw that he had analyzed this matter more thoroughly, and he felt a little relieved, but Ye Xingchen's next words made him uneasy.

"I suspect that Xue Xiang is not the only one who came to Liyang County this time, it is possible that Lord Yushi also came, he came to Liyang just to cover his father's real purpose, he is rich and noble, and his identity is also prominent, if you want to play chic, you will never choose a small county like Liyang, if so, I am afraid that this Xue Yushi is also here for me."

"Then how is the prince good?"

"It's okay, it's probably my father's order! Let him find out where I am, and it will be good for us. ”

Although Feng Ping had a stomach full of questions, he knew that Ye Xingchen had said this, and he would not explain too much.

At this time, I saw that the young man who Feng Ping brought back in the morning had made progress, and his face was very embarrassed.

"Changqing, you should go back to the palace as soon as possible tomorrow, you still need to go back to take care of the affairs in the palace."

Ye Xingchen looked at Chang Qing coming in, he should not stay here for a long time in his current situation, Chang Qing is currently hidden in King Kang's Mansion, it would not be a wise move to come here this time, but Chang Qing seems to be a little reluctant and hesitant. Of course, Ye Xingchen and Feng Ping both saw it, Ye Xingchen naturally knew a lot about this guard who had been serving him close since he was a child, and knew that he must have something to do.

"Tell me, what's so hard for you to speak?"

"Lord, the county lord saw you and said that he was entrusted by Concubine Yun,"

"Changqing, you are confused, how can the prince see outsiders in his situation at this time, after saying that Niangniang is grounded in Changyang Palace, you can't see Niangniang, how can she meet an outsider. Have you already told the county lord about the prince's affairs and whereabouts?"

"The prince atoned for his sins, Chang Qing didn't tell the county lord anything about the prince."

Feng Ping was finally relieved to hear Chang Qing's answer, he knew the situation in the palace well, and he was very suspicious of the county lord's intentions, and the two looked at their prince again.

"Uncle Feng has some truth in what he said, Chang Qing replied to her, I'm afraid that she herself will go her own way and will not do her any good, so you should leave for the palace immediately."

"The prince and the county lord are sick and live in the inn in the county seat, she said that she won't go back to Shangdu if she can't see you, what do you think should be done?"

Ye Xingchen decisively gave his decision, he probably understood why Chen Xinying appeared here, and he felt that this matter was not so simple, why did these people appear here so coincidentally.

"Okay, don't ask about this matter, you go back to the palace immediately, I will deal with this matter, go ahead." Chang Qing also obeyed Ye Xingchen's decision, and resolutely did not dare to ask, and set off back to Shangdu that night.

Chen Xinying felt that Ye Xingchen would definitely not die so easily, and she did not hesitate to come to Liyang again without telling her family. By chance, he met Chang Qing, and at first he was incompetent and Chang Qing didn't even say anything about Ye Xingchen, but then Chen Xinying fainted in front of him, and he had no choice but to settle her first.

Late at night, as soon as Chen Xinying took the decoction, a figure jumped in from the window, and her flexible figure was a woman, so frightened that she and Xiaoyu turned pale and were about to shout, only to see the woman in black said;

"Don't be afraid, county lord, I'm just here to bring a message, someone asked you to return to Shangdu quickly and leave this place of right and wrong,"

The woman in black turned around and left, Chen Xinying hurriedly grabbed the hand of the woman in black, and her figure staggered a little, which surprised the woman in black a little.

"You tell my ninth brother, if he doesn't come out to see me, he will never return to Shangdu,"

After saying that, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, which frightened the maid and fainted. It seems that the county lord's body is indeed a little sick.

"This girl, please tell your master that our county lord will let your master ...... for him to wash away his tears in front of him all day long."

"I'm just a messenger, the word has arrived, you can weigh it yourself."

After speaking, the figure disappeared into the night, and the county lord waited for several days and did not see the figure of the person in her heart, and her sick appearance became worse day by day.

"County Lord, let's go back to Shangdu,"

"Xiaoyu, I'm unwilling, after so many years of love, I don't believe he doesn't have me in his heart."

It did make Chen Xinying get her wish, and the next night she was taken to the place where Ye Xingchen lived, and met the ninth brother she had been thinking about for a long time.

Chen Xinying looked at Ye Xingchen in front of her with some obsession, after experiencing such a big twist and turn, she could still see the ninth brother who was as handsome as before.

"Brother Jiu, you are finally willing to come out to see me, do you know that in order to see you, I--I ---"

Ye Xingchen sat on the seat next to him, and when he saw Chen Xinying's face full of tears, his face was pale, and he couldn't bear it

"Ying'er, I have too many concerns, so I can't come to see you for a long time, please forgive me!"

"I know, Brother Jiu, I don't blame you."

Ye Xingchen smiled lightly, remembering that she was well-behaved and cute when she was a child, and she always followed her closely, and she was a little worried when she thought that she was so sick now.

"Ying'er, you are not in good health now, you can recuperate with me first, and everything will be planned when you are well."

"Brother Jiu, Concubine Yun has something to ask me to bring to you."

After Chen Xinying said this, her expression was a little evasive, Ye Xingchen knew her a little well, and he was stunned, as if he was not eager to know about his mother's situation.

"Ying'er, I'm talking about these when you get better, I'll come to see you later."

It just so happened that Yiyi was going to take her pulse at this time, and Ye Xingchen was also inconvenient here, so he comforted you and left.

Chen Xinying stared at the door for a long time, her eyes greedy, her expression was a little disappointed, and she still had a lot to say in her heart.

"Xiaoyu, I think Brother Nine and I are a little rusty, not like before."

Yiyi's hand that carefully checked the pulse shook slightly, and looked at Chen Xinying meaningfully,

"You're the one who came to talk to the woman in black that night, right?"

Yiyi didn't answer, just gently covered the sleeves she had just rolled up,

"County Lord, you can relax, rest well, the folk girl will give you a few medicines to recuperate,"

Yiyi is neither humble nor arrogant to answer the question, Chen Xinying naturally understands that this is not their town and country, and others will not ask more if they don't answer, just a polite sentence,

"There's Miss Lao!"

After Yiyi finished checking the pulse, he went to the study, Ye Xingchen stood in front of the window in a daze, his eyes were a little sad

"How is the county lord's condition?"

"Lord Wang, the county lord is indeed hemoptysis caused by poor qi and blood stasis in the transition of depression, and his subordinates will give her good treatment and conditioning, and it is no big problem."

Ye Xingchen nodded with a faint emotion, as if he was a little upset, he simply instructed her to take care of her, and then motioned for her to retreat.
