Ye Yanxing's wound has not completely healed, and he is still very difficult when he bends over, although he is very reluctant to be separated from the child, he can only watch Lu Zhiyuan and Jiang Er in front of him bathe Mu Yan.

The bathtub of the mahogany carved auspicious dragon is divided into two layers, the upper layer is the water storage tub, and the lower layer is hollowed out and put into a copper furnace filled with silver wood smokeless white charcoal to maintain the temperature of the bath water. Ye Yanxing leaned aside, his eyes were full of envy, and he found that Lu Zhiyuan's hand was so deep that the scar had already formed between the back of his hand and the arm that was rolled up and exposed.

"Zhixing, your hands?"

"Ah, this, I accidentally scratched it when I was collecting medicine." Lu Zhiyuan glanced at his arm and continued to clean the child indifferently, "It's okay, a little injury is handled very well." ”

Picking up the child and putting it on the cushion aside, Jiang Er took the silk handkerchief and pressed it to absorb the water, the child's body temperature was high and it was easy to sweat and get prickly heat, and then took out the pearl powder and sprayed it all over the little prince's body, so that he kept his skin dry. "Childe, look at the little prince, he is smiling at me again."

The child's facial features are now a little wider, and his pink and plump little face is embedded with black jade-like eyes, shining with brilliance and agility, and his eyebrows have the appearance of his biological father delicate and beautiful, and he is so small that he wants people to hold in his arms and tease him. Ye Yanxing was helpless, shook his head and said to the little servant: "Mu Yan is still young, how do you know what laughter is, but just a random expression, where is he happy, it is clear that you who love him very much, and you are happy to see him look like anything." ”

"What's the matter, Gongzi is talking nonsense, the little prince is looking at me seriously, he is the child of you and the prince, he must be smart, and he is remembering me in his heart." Reach out and pat that delicate little butt and shake off the excess powder.

Lu Zhiyuan took the little clothes one by one and gave them to Zhou Muyan to change, "Don't pay attention to your master, you can't leave the child for a moment, but you can only watch us bathe Xiaoyan'er, and we're jealous." ”

"It's not that you can't leave it for a moment, and how many times a day does the child send it to the nurse?" Ye Yanxing lowered his voice and muttered.

Seeing that his son-in-law was still arguing in a low voice, Jiang Er smiled secretly, "By the way, Son, the gift sent by the Imperial Treasure Bureau has already been put on the case, just waiting for you to choose." ”

"Ah, I only made a temporary impression yesterday, are they moving so fast?" Ye Yanxing sighed.

"Yes, Jiang Er asked for it in the name of the prince, can you not move quickly?" Jiang Er held the little prince who had cleaned up and dressed up and handed it to Ye Yanxing, smiling treacherously, "The prince will be the emperor of the Great Zhou after Xiaoyue, those people are rushing up one by two, how can the action be slow, the ancients said, one person has the Tao chicken dog ascends to heaven, I am a fox and a fake tiger." ”

Ye Yanxing stretched out his hand and flicked the little servant's head fiercely, "It's a quick learn, it's really powerful, and it's just right." The smooth forehead against Zhou Muyan shook his head lightly and whispered: "Don't learn from your Uncle Xiaojiang, your wit is used in strange places." ”

"Xiao Jiang.. Uncle? Jiang Er was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and trembled again and again, "Childe, please don't let outsiders listen, the little one will be killed." ”

Ye Yanxing couldn't laugh, let Zhou Muyan play with them, and went to the side of the case to choose a long-life lock for the child.

"Childe, do you need some advice from the little one?"

"No need, you careless little guy, take a good look at Mu Yan, don't let him fall out of bed." Look carefully at the various treasures on the case, gold, silver and jade carefully carved all kinds of long-life locks with various meanings, jade bats symbolizing blessings, golden dragon unicorns representing auspiciousness, and longevity peaches containing longevity, all kinds of different patterns. Thinking of the birthmark on Zhou Muyan's waist, he searched carefully and found a bracelet with a simple style of white dragon pan red jade, and waited for Zhou Yanzhi to come back and put it on for the child himself.

"Wait a minute." Ye Yanxing slept peacefully for a few days, and after waking up in the morning, Zhou Yanzhi had already left, and today he was uneasy when he looked at the back of King Ming's departure, so he called him out.

The man turned around and held his cold hand, warming his palm, "Yan'er, I will enter the palace this time to deal with government affairs, and I will not be allowed to return to the palace for a few days, I will send someone to pick you and Mu Yan before the enthronement ceremony." ”

Step by step, he followed him to the gate of the palace, watched him kick on horseback, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and looked at him without hiding the worry on his face. "Yanzhi, remember to pick us up, don't forget what you promised."

"Wait for me, go, I'll be worried if Mu Yan can't see you."

Seven days later, it was the enthronement ceremony, King Ming became the emperor, and most of the people in the palace could not enter the palace to serve again, so they could only disperse and send back to their hometown. Walking slowly in the palace, the old servant of the elderly cleaned the courtyard, and saw that Ye Yanxing was still performing the rites of the master and servant, the vine leaf courtyard, the moon wiping courtyard, the Shengyue pool, the moon exploration building, standing on a high place, the courtyard pavilion that used to be busy with people was lifeless, and it seemed empty and lonely.

Jiang Er is his personal servant, of course, he followed Ye Yanxing, but if he entered the palace at a young age, he would leave the treasure to be a eunuch, and he waited by the side with a sad face every day, and people laughed, Ye Yanxing didn't tease him and asked him for a spare job, so he didn't have to go into the clean room.

Ye Yan walked back to the Chengzhi Palace, and when he passed by the flower hall, he found Mo Yan standing there with a sword, looking tired, his body was thin and couldn't support his robe, and the whole person seemed to be blown away by the wind.

"Mo Yan, how are you..."

Mo Yan lowered his head and spread out his palm, the ice blue butterfly was lying dying in the magic circle in his palm, Ye Yanxing was dizzy for a while, that appearance was too similar to when he picked up Mu Zhi a hundred years ago, he retreated and didn't dare to step forward to confirm.

"Brother, I'm sorry I couldn't protect Mu Zhi. On the way back to Xia Mountain, I met my master, Mu Zhi chased after him in a fit of anger, who knew that the master he inherited a lot of magic weapons from the hands of the master who had sat down, trapped the two of us, and the catastrophe arrived, fortunately, the magic circle was strong for Mu Zhi to block a few heavenly thunders, and now he has used all his strength to turn into the original form. Mo Yan closed his eyes and whispered, and the tiredness on his face was also distressing.

Ye Yanxing looked at the butterfly and couldn't help crying, this catastrophe is over.

"Mo Yan, I can't condense a trace of immortal power and I am no different from ordinary people, I can't protect Mu Zhi, do you have a good place to go?"

Mo Yan held his palm in vain, "Fox Jun, I originally wanted to take her back to the place where she grew up to help him cultivate with her original qi, but I found that I didn't know where her origin was. I don't want you to worry, but I just want to let you know everything that happened when I pass by here on my way to Luoxia Mountain. ”

Ye Yanxing didn't say much, stretched out his fingers and stroked the magic circle, and saw that the butterflies in the array seemed to have sensible tentacles trembling slightly, and turned to leave.

Watching the butterfly in his palm slowly float up and fall precariously, Mo Yan smiled gently, "No, Mu Zhi, we should go, my brother said that he didn't like us to be contaminated with the world." ”

"Let's go, don't worry my brother anymore." After speaking, he didn't miss the scenery of the world, and left here with gentleness.

"Childe, do we have anything else to pack up and bring into the palace?"

Ye Yanxing looked around, the huge palace had no nostalgia, and chuckled: "It's gone, it's all taken away." ”

"Okay, I'll go and hug the little prince."

"Are Zhixing and Fang Qian gone?"

"Yes, the chief steward said goodbye a few days ago, and the prince didn't agree, but I vaguely heard that the chief steward had added new joy and wanted to accompany his wife until the child was born, and the prince would no longer keep it when he heard this." Jiang Er turned her head and thought about it, and guessed, "When the prince gave birth, the prince couldn't be by his side, and I am afraid that there is regret in my heart, so I can't refuse at all." ”

"Alas, Zhixing is indifferent to fame and fortune, rather than asking him to enter the palace and be bound by the palace wall, it is better to be a doctor in this downtown and make him happy." Ye Yanxing looked at the sky outside the wall, a little sleepy, "He's free outside, let's just go out for a walk in the future,"

Ye Yanxing's master and servant waited in front of the palace with Zhou Muyan in their arms, the old servant stood aside with his burden, the twilight on the horizon was gradually falling, and a team of royal forest soldiers came over slowly with a carriage, and the man at the head dismounted and knelt on the ground to salute, "Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, the emperor sent me to send the prince to the outer side hall of the palace, and when the time comes, he will personally come to pick you up into the palace." ”

Ye Yanxing was disappointed in his heart and hid his disappointment, "Thank you, general, for your hard work." ”

"Dare to ask Childe, who is this child? We didn't receive..."

Raising his eyebrows, I have doubts in my heart, we didn't receive it...? What do you receive?

The fact that the child is the king of Ming still needs to be kept secret, and when it is not enough to make it public, he said indifferently: "My sister's child." ”

The man said respectfully, "Childe, please." ”

The three of them boarded the carriage, Ye Yanxing opened the package and looked at it, and after walking for a long time, he was pulled to a remote mansion with lanterns, and four waiters stood left and right outside the door.

The house is empty, lit with red lanterns, and the gloomy atmosphere is permeated, but this room is full of magnificence and has the meaning of a royal palace.

A wealthy eunuch walked in with a basin of water, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "Son, wash up, it's been a bumpy journey, it's been hard." ”

After waiting for a long time, Jiang Er only felt a little hungry in her stomach and lost her patience, "Thank you for your hard work, you don't need to wash, but can you send food quickly." ”

The old eunuch didn't answer, and said to himself, with a smile on his face, "Wash your hands and face to remove dust, and if you are tidy, the whole person will be more comfortable." The water is powdered, and the hands and faces are washed before meals, which is the rule of the palace, and I hope that the nobles will get used to it earlier. ”

"You're so annoying, you're always chattering here, hurry up and send dinner, don't starve your son." Jiang Er's heart was irritable, and when she looked at this eunuch, she remembered those bad memories of the wasteland, "Ah, by the way, is there a nurse here?" ”

The eunuch was shocked, nurse? How could there be a nurse here, she smiled bitterly and held on, "There is... Yes, the son washed the slave and went to find the nurse. ”

Ye Yanxing got up and walked to the basin, took the brocade and wet it and wiped his face, the eunuch behind him smiled, and said in a sharp voice: "Wait a minute, the slave will go and prepare the nurse to send someone to deliver the meal." ”

The eunuch withdrew from the room, and the two waited in the room for a long time without anyone appearing, and Jiang Er walked around without half a figure.

"Childe, this is a little weird, there is no one left." Jiang Er was chilling, and always felt that this place was too evil.

Ye Yanxing sat up straight and straightened his sleeves, "Jiang'er let's go, this is not the place we should stay." The two packed their bags and pushed open the door and left along the way they came, "This place is really far away, and I don't know how long it will take to walk back to the city, Mu Yan should be hungry." ”

Finally found a tea house on the side of the road to spend the night, the shopkeeper was a kind person, saw two men with children and held the children to feed. Looking at the child who had fallen asleep with enough milk in her arms, Jiang Er asked in a low voice, "Childe, why did we leave that place?" ”

"Those people weren't sent by Yan Zhi Yan at all, staying there will only save the enemy a chance." Ye Yanxing poured tea and said something shocking flatly.

"Childe, how do you know?"

"For one, the leading general asked me why I had an extra child. Second, when asked about the nurse, the eunuch's eyes were full of hesitation. Most importantly, he repeatedly asked me to touch the water in that basin. As he spoke, he took out the items in his sleeve and placed them on the edge of the teacup, and the tea turned red. Poison. ”

"It's hard work, this person's poison is a bit heavy." Gently stroked Shougong's back, looked at its red eyes, poured out the poisonous water and changed the cup of tea, Shougong lay on the edge of the cup and opened his mouth to spit out the poison, and it took a few cups before the whole body became transparent. He took out the silk handkerchief to wipe off the water stains and put it back in the small box. "Although Mu Zhi is willful, this thing is really good to find."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the man pressed me with the rules of the palace, I don't like it."

Jiang Er hugged the little prince with a helpless expression, the most important thing is that he has always hated others to oppress him with rules. Ah, yes, this is his son-in-law. "Childe, shall we go back to the palace?"

"The palace..."Ye Yanxing hesitated, "Jiang'er, don't talk about the palace, if Yan doesn't come, we won't even be able to go back to this imperial city." "The child in my arms slept soundly, not knowing that he was homeless.

"Why is this happening?"

"Jiang'er, I still have to go back tomorrow, one of the processes of the emperor's ascension to the throne is to parade, mix in the crowd, and wait for him to come and show up." Ye Yanxing hesitated and opened his mouth, "The imperial city is dangerous, I hope you can accompany Mu Yan to find a place to stay and wait for me." ”

"The prince also knows the danger, so don't leave Jiang'er and the little prince behind, so that the two of us can take care of it."

The sky was white, and the master and servant left the tea house and headed for the imperial city.

When the new emperor ascended the throne and celebrated the same time, the streets were bustling and crowded, pushing and separating the people who were traveling with him. Holding the package and holding the corner of his son-in-law's clothes, stopping in front of the mask stall, Ye Yanxing picked and handed Jiang Er a rabbit mask, and the two hid their faces, careful to avoid the flow of people.

"Childe, let's go to the palace gate to find the guards, shall we? As long as they state their identity, they will definitely report it. ”

Ye Yanxing thought about it, and also agreed, and walked towards the palace. The crowd was crowded, he and Jiang Er carefully protected the child and slowly moved to the palace gate, and immediately a guard drew a knife against each other, "Who, the palace is important, and idlers should not approach." ”

"The tired guards reported, saying that the old people of the palace came to look for the emperor." There is a request with people, Ye Yanxing couldn't help but whisper.

"What kind of old people in the palace, get out of here, don't make trouble here, leave the state affairs quickly today, don't get in the way here."

The bells and drums sang and danced in unison, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the ministers of the eight directions worshiped and knelt down, and sacrificed to the ancestral temple to pray for the blessing of the people of Sheji.

Ye Yanxing listened to the sound of ritual music coming from inside the palace wall, looked at the high wall and smiled bitterly, he didn't have any immortal skills. I thought I was a prisoner bird when I entered the palace, but now I can't even enter this cage?

The two sat in front of the palace gate and waited for the reluctance to leave, and they never saw anyone summoning me, I am afraid that no one had passed it on at all, but why hadn't Yanzhi sent a secret guard to find him?

It's getting dark, the crowd is gathering and parting, Yanzhi, what are you still busy with?

There was a person sitting beside him, dressed in red, looking at the three masters and servants, and laughing in a low voice, "Yanxing, why are you still here?" ”

"Mr. Jiang, these words... Why? Ye Yanxing's heart froze, and the unclear meaning in his words made him uneasy.

Jiang Youyi saw that this person was pretending to be stupid, and he no longer restrained, and said coldly with a gloomy face; "Lord Wang, oh, no, His Majesty the Emperor has become the king of a country, what kind of system does it become to entangle with a man again, Gongzi, you say, right?"

"Your Majesty is going to become the lord of the Holy Ming recorded in the history books, son, you better leave quickly, don't let the emperor lose his patience and let you lose your life."

Before Ye Yanxing could refute, Jiang Er scolded angrily, "Mr. is good at saying with a sharp mouth, how much the prince loves my master, have you forgotten it so quickly?" ”

"Nonsense? Why do you mask your face today? Don't you understand, the emperor thinks that your daily companionship is also a kindness, but he ruined this face and changed your life. Jiang Youyi stretched out his hand to stroke the fox mask, but was dodged, "It's strange to blame your face, if you are ugly, you will definitely not be taken by the prince, and it is better to ruin it, right, save you from walking in this world by being remembered and humiliated by the people next to you, and it will damage your holy face." ”

Jiang Er is also a clever person, pushing away the man in red, "Open the river without evidence and no evidence, don't listen to his nonsense." ”

Jiang Youyi stumbled, got up and smoothed the folds of the clothes on his body, flicked his sleeves and left, "The emperor is the most heartless person, don't you understand very well, son?" "Seeing the extra child in his arms sleeping peacefully, my sister's child? It's a little monster again. "It's not good for Childe to be so naïve, he will lose his life, and His Majesty will not see you again. From now on, find a place to live incognito, I have to remind you that you have also been a servant, and don't do things inappropriately just because someone doesn't dislike your appearance. Covering the corners of his mouth at the rude servant, he sneered and said, "Broken shoes." ”

"Sir, I want to see him."

Ye Yanxing's tone was calm, and when he saw Jiang Youyi frowning and thinking for a while, he then said happily: "It's okay, if you see His Majesty the Emperor, you will die of this heart, just wait here, but Your Majesty will go out of this palace gate to parade the imperial city in a quarter of an hour, Gongzi, just try." He walked into the palace gate with a cold hum, and his heart was happy.

Jiang Youyi did not lie, and soon the palace door was opened, the emperor rode his horse, and the honor guard followed.

Ye Yanxing put the child in Jiang Er's arms, ran with the guard of honor, and kept shouting towards the emperor's bright yellow figure, hoarse.

Who is so bold as to call him by his name?

The emperor looked at the red shadow of the fox face chasing after everyone and chanting his name, his eyes swept away with a cold eye, and Jiang Youyi on the side smiled heartily, urging the horse to catch up with the noble and unparalleled man here.

Ye Yanxing ran out of strength, and he couldn't hear the sound in his ears, only the figure in front of him who was getting farther and farther away, and unconsciously broke into the team that was hurrying, and he just wanted to look at the person and ask why he forgot to pick him up.

The guard of honor was rushed by someone, messing up the team, the horse was frightened and uncontrollable, knocking Ye Yanxing to the ground, and the people accompanying him stepped on his arm. A crisp sound sounded in his ears, and the arm broke.

Ye Yanxing was kicked out of the guard of honor by the Imperial Forest Army, lying on the ground and covering his chest, crying silently, his heart hurting.

Yanzhi, you have finally broken your word.
