Outside the house, under the osmanthus tree, a lilac skirt corner quietly moved and left here.

The owner of the skirt tried to control his breathing as much as possible, and walked cautiously, lest he make a strange sound.

At this time, her heart was full of panic and fear......

Originally, she just wanted to come to greet her father and ask about something by the way, but after she came, she actually heard this conversation.

The important thing is that the content of the dialogue is very terrifying, so terrible that she can't imagine that Academician Zhao, who looks smiling and amiable on weekdays, is actually like this.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that her father didn't refute it, but colluded with Academician Zhao and partnered to settle the matter.

And their reason is actually very simple, it is nothing more than that they can benefit from it.

What "killed and injured dozens of people", "destroyed dozens of dwellings", "the law is ruthless, I can't do it"...... The rhetoric used to reject visitors to the Green River Valley the day before turned out to be empty words.

In the minds of these adults, human life, property, law, justice, and so on are all inconsequential things, and only profit is the most important.

Although she had already known these things from books, the pain she had experienced was far more shocking than the cold words!

God is above, at a certain moment, Ye Jinlan really wanted to rush into the house and ask her father loudly, why is this?

Reason, however, stopped her.

After all, Dongping's first talented woman, not a joke, if you don't even have this IQ and EQ, is a talented girl?

Ye Jinlan knew very well that appearing at this time would not be of any benefit to the matter itself, and would only bring a bitter scolding to herself.

So, she could only hold her breath, trying not to make the slightest unusual noise.

When she heard Academician Zhao say that she was going to invite Yi Chen to Dongping Academy tomorrow, she couldn't help it anymore and left early.

This place is not hidden, she has been standing here for a long time, if she continues to eavesdrop, it will inevitably be seen by people who come and go, and when the time comes, she will shout casually, and the scene can be embarrassing.

After returning to her room, Ye Jinlanwu felt that a heart was pounding in her chest, and she couldn't help herself.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

It's just that if this matter is held in my heart, then not only tonight, but I am afraid that I will also be sleepless in the future.

Cui'er keenly noticed the abnormality of her own young lady, and couldn't help frowning: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Didn't you just say that you were going to ask for peace, why did you look so bad when you came back? Did the adults scold you?"

"I didn't ...... No. Ye Jinlan was upset and replied casually.

"So what the hell is going on, could it be that you are sick and feeling unwell?"

"Not really. ”

"So ...... you?"

"Oh, don't ask. Ye Jinlan was so upset by her that she seemed to have a mess in her mind, and she didn't know what to think.

Seeing her reaction like this, Cui'er became more and more convinced that there was something greasy in it, so she pestered her and kept asking left and right.

It is also thanks to the good relationship between the master and servant, and they have to change to another pair, but I am afraid that the young lady will be impatient a long time ago and order someone to drag it down and slap her mouth.

Ye Jinlan was asked by her, but finally she couldn't hold back and told the matter.

"Ah???" Cui'er was also stunned after listening, "This ...... This is too unfair to Yi Gongzi, isn't it? On the day of the incident, we were all present, what was wrong with Yi Gongzi in this matter? Why should he be punished so much?

"Be quiet. Ye Jinlan patted her head, looked out the window again, and after making sure that there was no one left and right, she lowered her voice and said: "I also want to ask why, but the result of this kind of thing is not something that you and I can decide by jumping out and asking a few words, so don't be too excited, let me think of a way." ”

"This ...... What else can be done, Miss, think about it quickly!"

"Don't rush, you're always so noisy, what do I think?"

"Yes, yes, I don't speak, I don't speak. Cui'er hurriedly covered her mouth.

Ye Jinlan also looked out the window and began to think about countermeasures.

Now she already knows the truth of the matter, but Yi Gongzi doesn't know yet, according to the normal deduction results, he will know tomorrow morning at the latest, by the time, he is already in Dongping Academy, even if he is unwilling and wants to do something, it is estimated that he will not be able to act.

After all, it was Dongping Academy, and there were countless masters in it, and it was heavily guarded, and it was basically impossible for anyone who wanted to make trouble inside.

Therefore, this matter cannot be postponed until tomorrow, and Yi Gongzi must be let know tonight.

No matter what choice he makes, at least it is his own choice, and he will not regret it when he thinks about it later.

After thinking about it, Ye Jinlan still decided to follow her heart and do what she thought was right.

Although this is not in line with etiquette and filial piety, it is what an upright person should do.

After making up her mind, she immediately walked to the bookcase and sat down, and while thinking, she took a pen and wrote a letter, called Cui'er when she was done, gave her a few words of advice, and handed the letter to her.

"Remember, you must deliver it to Yi Gongzi by hand, and you must go back as soon as possible, and you must not let others see that you have been. ”

"Got it, I'll try. Cui'er nodded, picked up the letter, opened the door and hurried away.

Ye Jinlan looked at her back, and felt that her heart was a lot more steady, compared to the chaotic anxiety just now, it was really ten thousand times stronger.

But it didn't take long for her to get nervous again......

Yi Gongzi, what choice will he make, it really makes people worry about him, I hope he won't be angry with the crown and do something disappointing.

......

At this time, on the other side of the Ye family's mansion, Ye Junshou also stepped into the wing room where Lord Hong lived, still carrying a bottle of 40-year-old Dongping Laojiao in his hand.

"Hey, Brother Ye, why are you here? Could it be that there is any new news?" Lord Hong was reading by candlelight, and when he saw him coming, he immediately perked up and got up to greet him.

"Sit, sit. Ye Junshou pressed him down and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just can't sleep, come and talk to you." ”

"Oh. Lord Hong frowned, feeling very wrong in his heart.

However, he didn't pick it out, but went down and said, "Okay, Brother Ye, please sit down, and the younger brother will accompany you to drink two cups." ”

Ye Junshou immediately sat down, cleaned up the cups on the table, poured two glasses of wine, and toasted with Lord Hong first.

"Yo, brother, are you still reading this poem?" he keenly noticed the contents of the paper on the table, and couldn't help but be interested.

"yes. Lord Hong nodded slightly, and sighed: "This song "When Will the Bright Moon Be Seen" is the best song I have seen in recent years -- no, it should be the best word! ”

"So powerful?"

"What do you say? Lord Hong smiled, "Brother Ye is also a Jinshi and a first, so he doesn't even have this ability to appreciate it, right?" It is no exaggeration to say that if I bring it back to the capital and ask Master Fu Dao to transcribe it again, it will definitely cause a very high-level vision from the sky, and it will cause a sensation in Kyoto, attract everyone to copy it, and even make Kyoto paper expensive. ”

"Ha......" Ye Junshou smiled awkwardly, and smiled very reluctantly.

"What's the matter, Brother Ye?" Lord Hong couldn't help it, and simply said, "Brother Ye, what are you doing on this trip to find me? Why don't you say it quickly, you and my brother, why are you so secretive and unpleasant?"

"Oh well. Ye Junshou sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I did have something to tell you about this trip, but I didn't know where to start for a while." ”

"Oh, what kind of thing is it that makes Brother Ye so embarrassed?"

"It's not your protégé. ”

"Yi Chen, what's wrong with him? Could it be that he's in trouble again?"

"No, that's not it, right now he's in my house, the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, what trouble can he cause? ”

"Brother Ye has already discussed the result with the other side, is it ......?"

"Actually, it's true. "Ye Jun's heart is better than a short pain, anyway, sooner or later, it is better to say it earlier, so as not to feel uncomfortable.

So, he simply said the decision to discuss with Academician Zhao tonight, and tried to be as careful as possible in his words.

"Ridiculous!" After hearing this, Lord Hong slapped the table and immediately exploded!

"Brother Ye, in vain I believe you so much, how can you discuss this way of dealing with others? This little profit is really so important!?"

"No, you calm down first. Ye Jun Shou was as big as a fight, stood up and comforted: "I am not greedy for that little profit, but I have other considerations, do you know that this matter was not told to me by the people of Qinghe Valley, but by Academician Zhao of Dongping Academy." ”

"So what? Dongping Academy looks serious, like a place where saints are educated, and it can't be imagined to do things, and it is also so upside down black and white, mercenary, which is really despicable!"

The more Lord Hong spoke, the more excited he became, and the anger almost washed away the roof.

Looking at him like this, Ye Junshou couldn't help but have an extremely headache......

He has a hunch that he is afraid that he will have to spend time with this little brother tonight, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to deal with it without talking about dry mouth.

......

On the other side of the house, Yi Chen was practicing.

In the past few days, he has raised his cultivation to the innate double, although this progress is not large, but the foundation is much firmer, and when he hits a higher realm in the future, it will be much more stable.

In contrast, the benefits of Fu Dao are even more obvious, after all, in these few actual battles, he almost always relied on Fu Dao means to win, and his understanding is naturally more profound.

Many of Dong Yuan Zhai's classics played a key role in it, and Yi Chen relied on the sage books, which were immediately available for use and indeed coped with many crises.

He also knew about this situation, so he had practiced the Mohai Jue many times in the past few days, and his rune level had improved by leaps and bounds, and he had been promoted from the second-order beginner to the second-order senior, only one step away from the third-order.

This progress is still possible, after all, the grade of the rune is there, and the Xuanpin is one star - if you want to successfully advance in the rune, the difficulty will be much greater than that of ordinary rune masters.

Yi Chen was pondering this when suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside—very soft.
