In the outer study, Ye Shusheng had already arrived, and was sitting alone drinking tea, Yao Xianggong just sat down and picked up the tea bowl, and with the sound of the small house outside, the four princes were cold and strode into the upper room.

Ye Shusheng hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to go to the cloak for the four princes, the four princes cleaned their hands and faces, took a sip of the tea soup from the hands of the little guys, waved their hands and retreated from the small servants, and looked at Yao Xianggong and said: "The palace passed the order, saying that the weather is cold, Daddy is not in good health, the suburbs will be exempted, and all the officials will be welcomed in the ban." ”

"And that's the way it should be." Yao Xianggong wrinkled his brows, and thought for a moment before he spoke: "But if you think about it in one place, but you don't think about it, the temper of the official family has always been to be welcomed in the suburbs......" Yao Xianggong's words were meaningful, Ye Shusheng tasted it slightly, and suddenly he was almost excited and excited. The four princes looked melancholy, listening to Yao Xianggong's words absentmindedly, and only after a while did he sigh and respond to the 'um', Yao Xianggong twisted his beard one by one, paying attention to the expressions of the four princes with seven points of spirit, and thinking about the suburbs with three points of spirit, thinking and thinking while talking, and said slowly: "It seems that the official family's illness is not optimistic...... Alas, those who are courtiers are most afraid of this time, but what can they do? After all, the official family is old, and in the early years, they fought in the north for many years, and their bones were really injured, and although they didn't dare to think about some things, they had to think about it......"

Yao Xianggong looked at the four princes who looked stunned and the sadness on his face became more and more intense, and kept adjusting his emotions to confess, but Ye Shusheng became more and more impatient when he listened, frowning and looking at Yao Xianggong, feeling that he was really old and confused, at this critical time, what are you doing with these words that are not salty and useless? They are looking forward to the collapse of the official family at this time! If the official family collapses at this time, King Shou is thousands of miles away, although he holds the military power, he is controlled by the Marquis of Chang'an, the fourth master is in charge of the country, and the succession is right. Seeing that years of hard work are about to be successful, at this critical moment, Yao Xiangfen didn't hurry up to get down to business, what are you doing with all this hypocritical nonsense?

The fourth prince looked blankly at the dark window, stunned for a long time, the pain on his face gradually eased, he sighed long, turned his head to look at Yao Xianggong and said gently: "Yao Xiang is a person of great affection, birth, old age, sickness and death are reincarnations that mortals can't escape, what can we do?" Alas! Don't mention this, how to welcome the law tomorrow, you can talk about it first. ”

"Yes!" Yao Xianggong saw the attitude of the four princes now, his heart was relieved, he was busy and owed slightly, and said respectfully in a casual manner: "The order to leave the palace is reasonable, and the hundred officials are in the forbidden to see, but we can't wait in the forbidden, the fourth master and the official family are both monarchs and ministers and father and son, and it is right to go out of the city early to greet them, and the official's car will drive to the forbidden middle at the end, and the lord will leave early tomorrow, and Chen is welcoming to Wulipo, along the way, the fourth master will either see the official family anyway, or say a sentence or two with the official, if the official family is ...... Okay, even if you can't be caught by the wind and cold and don't summon the fourth master, you will be able to say a sentence and a half to the fourth master through the curtain, if you can't even say ......" Yao Xianggong stared at the expression of the fourth prince, and sighed worriedly: "Alas, what the fourth master said is that people have birth, old age, sickness and death, this is no way, the fourth master found out how sick the official family is along the way, if the official family is healthy, naturally everyone is happy, in case there is anything bad about the official family, the car is in the forbidden middle, no matter what, you have to block this matter, the official family is tied to the people of the family and the country, We must not let traitors deceive the world, do tricks and feet from it, and mistake the great succession of the military state! ”

"Hmm." The fourth prince nodded in agreement, Ye Shusheng became more and more nervous the more he listened, only his nervous body straightened, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked: "What about us?" You have to go out together, right? ”

"Well......" Yao Xianggong looked at the four princes with a deep sigh, and the four princes thought for a while and said: "Yao Xiang, it's not appropriate for you to go, Da Lang will go out with me." ”

"What the fourth master said is very true," Yao Xianggong hurriedly stroked his palm and agreed: "Waiting in the forbidden is to abide by the duty of a courtier, and welcoming out of the city is the relationship between father and son with the fourth master, and Ye Dalang is filial piety to the younger generation, so this arrangement is more appropriate." ”

"There is one more thing that you have to be guarded against," Ye Shu Shengfu suddenly said in his heart: "The wife often says, you have to think one more step in everything, the official family is such a genius, thoughtful, far-reaching and unpredictable, in case the official family is already healthy, but I want to take advantage of the illness to see the filial piety of several masters, then we are like this, wouldn't it ...... That, just jumped into this well? Yao Xianggong's eyebrows were raised when he heard this, and Ye Shusheng closed his lips tightly and said nothing, he also thought of what Ye Shusheng said, but how could he say this? There are some things that everyone knows, but they must never say! Ye Shusheng said these words! Could it be that the extremely shrewd old ancestor in their house didn't teach him this? Alas, the Ye family, withered!

"The official family has been deceived to death more than once in the past......" Seeing Yao Xianggong twisting his head vigorously and pretending not to hear, the fourth prince lowered his eyelids and had an expressionless face, Ye Shusheng couldn't help but add another sentence, this sentence almost choked Yao Xianggong with internal injuries, and hurriedly let out a violent cough, interrupting Ye Shusheng's words, Ye Shusheng also immediately felt a gaffe, and was suddenly embarrassed, he just hated to give himself a slap, said it well, why did he add the last sentence? ! Alas, he was so nervous and excited today that he blurted out such a rebellious thing!

"In the past, it was a last resort," the fourth prince lowered his eyelids and said coldly: "People are strong and I am weak, no matter how hard and arrogant Daddy is, he has to wronged himself, but Daddy," the fourth prince paused, looked at Yao Xianggong, and glanced at Ye Shusheng again, his voice was firm and abnormal: "I will never cheat death with my son!" Don't say anything like that again! You wait for me directly at Chenzhou Gate tomorrow, and you don't have to fold here to pick me up. The cold eyes of the fourth prince swept over Ye Shusheng and commanded this, Ye Shusheng did not dare to come out, and hurriedly got up and agreed.

Yao Xianggong carefully diverted the topic, and discussed with the fourth prince in detail several plans to block the driving for a long time, and other important matters, until the third watch, Yao Xianggong and Ye Shusheng went out of the Jian'an County Mansion one after the other.

The next day, the sky did not even have a white belly, the four princes were dressed in court clothes, went out of the house and got on the horse, just turned out of the alley, not far from the alley, a green oil car parked not far from the alley suddenly poked out of a small glass lamp, the guards were startled, just protected the four princes, did not wait to rush to the front of the car, I saw a little lady probe out behind the glass lamp, while waving her hand and shouting crisply: "Cousin, cousin!" It's me! Twelve mothers! It's me! ”

The fourth prince looked at Ye Twelve Niang who jumped down with the car barricade in surprise, and subconsciously turned his head and swept around, Ye Twelve Niang jumped out of the car neatly, jumped in front of the four princes in a few steps, held high the glass lamp, looked up at him and said, "Cousin, I have something important to tell you!" Can you come down or not, just for a while, just for a while! ”

"Okay." The fourth prince glanced at the sky, dismounted with a promise, looked at Ye Twelve Niang and asked first, "Why are you here?" Shou ......"

"Cousin, don't ask this yet, I'll tell you later," Ye Twelve Niang's toes rose and fell, and she interrupted the words of the fourth prince with great anxiety: "Cousin, Tian Tian is seriously ill again, very serious, and there was a thief in her house the day before yesterday, have you heard of this?" ”

"Thief?" When the fourth prince heard the sentence 'heavy and powerful', his heart was raised high, and he replied to Ye Twelve Niang's words: "How could the palace be a thief?" ”

"yes, that's what I said! Said that the subordinate who guarded the corner door drank too much wine and forgot to lock the door, and a few drunk splashes broke into the palace, Mama Xiong said that it was said in the yamen, but I think Mama Xiong meant, it is not like that at all, besides, Sister Tian is not the kind of delicate Didi who can't stand things, if it is really a few drunk splashes who break into the house, she will not raise her eyelids, and I will not lift them! But Sister Tian was scared sick, no, no, she was scared and sick all of a sudden, and she was very sick! Alas, you didn't see it, the tears I saw came out, and I couldn't stop it! When I went to see her, she was sleeping on the kang, just curled up in a ball, she was thin, she was dazed and scared, saying that someone was going to kill her, shouting for help, and then she woke up, I asked to die, she said that she was dreaming, and refused to say a word, but Sister Tian was really sick, and for a while she looked at her very sober, exactly the same shrewdness as before, but for a while, she was dazzled and stunned, I asked her, she was in a daze, pinching the beads on the corner of her handkerchief and shaking her head, I was angry and pulled her veil away, she cried, crying very sadly, she told me not to go back to the Ye family, saying that the wife would really kill me, saying that the wife would kill her, and she would also kill me, she also said, let me beg you, say that only you can protect me, only my cousin can protect me, she doesn't say it, I know! ”

Ye Twelve Niang slipped down after a string of words and almost didn't breathe, she couldn't hold it anymore and finally took a long breath, and then took a few big breaths and said, "Cousin, if you can protect me, you must be able to protect Sister Tian, right?" You have to save Sister Tian, she looks like that, she will be scared to death, and she won't be able to live! Ye Twelve Niang was in tears, the hands of the four princes holding the reins were shaking, but their cheeks were speechless, Ye Twelve Niang was anxious, stomped her feet, handed the glass lamp in her hand to the side, pounced forward and shook the cloaks of the four princes and shouted: "Cousin, you have to save Tian Tian, she is so pitiful, you can't watch her die, right?" ”

The fourth prince's cheeks jerked a few times, looked at Ye Twelve Niang, and opened his mouth a few times before he spoke hoarsely: "You, you tell her, let her rest assured, with me, no one can touch her at all!" ”
