Chapter 263: The capital has changed dramatically
"Well, it's okay, I'm not going anywhere here." Ye Yutai stroked lightly until the breathing of the person in his arms gradually stabilized, and he did not stop.
The next day, everyone packed their bags and set out on the way back.
After the Yuan Day Festival, it means that spring is coming, and the group of people stopped and stopped, and this trip to Qingshui actually spanned half of the winter.
The return journey was smooth, but what everyone didn't expect was that the capital had changed a lot.
Inexplicable yellow paper and red symbols were posted all over the streets, and the flags hung high were no longer the proud logos of the Imperial Guards, but the black and white skulls that looked terrible, and the ground was sprinkled with glutinous rice......
"What's going on?" Everyone was dumbfounded, especially the imperial grandson, who was the prince, who was angry when he saw his city and subjects so smoky.
Ye Yutai was not surprised by the scene in front of him, during his time in Qingshui City, the shadow guard would also send news from the capital, and the emperor had already gone mad under the bewitchment of the so-called righteous son.
It's just that the impact of words is far less than what can be seen by the eyes, and he frowned and explained: "The method proposed by the emperor's righteous son is that it can prolong the emperor's longevity in this way. ”
"Why is Grandfather so obsessed with the art of immortality! When will he understand the truth of life and death! The emperor's grandson beat his thigh angrily, feeling sad for the people in his heart.
"This must be stopped," Su Tingcheng lowered the curtain, just now she was observing all the way, and found that in addition to the yellow fu on the street, there were signs prohibiting the eating of meat, "If this continues, most of the people in the capital will die because they can't eat meat." ”
Her face was solemn, obviously angry at the actions of Emperor Nanye and Emperor Yizi.
The carriage went to the palace of the south first, and the two got off the carriage and continued to drive into the palace, and the imperial grandson needed to report the situation of the trip to the emperor.
Su Chengcheng and the two returned to the palace, and they parted ways together, and after going out for a long time, there were piles of things waiting for the two to deal with.
Seeing that the two were separated, Danmo immediately came to Su Tingcheng's side to report the recent situation: "There is no big change in Su Mansion, just like in the letter I wrote to the princess, after the accident of King Duan, Liu Rumei's mother and daughter came back and knelt in front of the door for a whole day. ”
"The situation in the capital must have been seen by the princess, the meat in the entire capital is unsalable, and the palace has not eaten meat for a long time."
"In the past few days on the way back to the princess, a strange thing happened in the teahouse, the princess from Dongling is the princess of Dongling, and the prince is the fourth prince, they are very mysterious after they come to the capital, and they have been staying in the inn where they stayed, and they didn't go when the emperor invited them to the palace."
Su Qingcheng frowned slightly, and said, "What does it have to do with the teahouse?" ”
"Just the day before yesterday, the fourth prince suddenly appeared in the teahouse and wrapped up the teahouse, and yesterday too, he gave a whole thousand taels of silver."
"Did he go to the teahouse and do anything?" Su Chengcheng wondered.
Danmo shook his head and said, "He didn't even show up. However, except for the people in the teahouse, no one knew the identity of the person who chartered the venue, and he didn't seem to want people to know that the little guys sent were all dressed up in Nanye. ”
"It's a strange thing indeed......," Su Qingcheng said softly.
Nanye and Dongling's state banquet is tomorrow, and the four princes' actions are clearly waiting for Su Chengcheng to find him, but why did he do this?
If it was someone else, he was the fourth prince of Dongling, maybe he could be a breakthrough in that battle, and she had to go to see him.
"Danmo, you go and prepare the carriage, if I guessed correctly, he will also charter the teahouse today, I will go over and see it myself."
"Yes."
After Danmo left, Su Chengcheng hurriedly went back to the house to change her clothes, and was stopped by Wu Ya when she walked out of the room door, and she looked solemn.
Su Tingcheng saw that she had something to tell her, so he stopped and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
"I have to tell you something...... she seemed a little hesitant and uncertain, but looking at Su Qingcheng's determined gaze, she slowly spoke, "I just went around the street and inquired about something, in addition to these people can't eat meat, there are women in the house who have not left the cabinet to show their faces, and when the moon is full, one person will be selected to pay tribute." ”
Hearing this, Su Qingcheng frowned, and interrupted angrily: "It's just nonsense!" What kind of immortal art, in my opinion, is a crooked evil art that deceives people. ”
"Yes, you listen to me first," Uya continued, "Didn't I tell you that the Sect of Bliss is divided into two factions?" My father is a right-wing conservative who has the right to speak in the Gate of Bliss, and there is also a leftist. ”
"You mean ......"
Su Chengcheng was shocked, if the matter was really what she had guessed, it was completely beyond the scope of what she could solve.
"Well, this method was researched by the leftists, and they proposed that if the Gate of Bliss wants to innovate, it needs immortality, but what they want is my sacrifice, and my father strongly opposes it, and soon the Gate of Bliss will be destroyed."
There were too many changes at once, Su Tingcheng's heart was in a mess, she took a deep breath and calmed down, and said: "In other words, the leftists have not been destroyed, and this emperor Yizi is very likely to collude with the leftists of the Paradise Gate." ”
Wu Ya nodded, her face was a little painful: "And I think the matter of destroying the door is inseparable from the leftists." ”
"I know, deal with the matter in front of me first, and accompany me to the teahouse." Su Tingcheng said lightly.
"Okay."
She got into the carriage, her brow furrowed into a Sichuan character.
The succession of events made her a little overwhelmed, and the intermittent clues seemed to be interlocking, but there was no evidence to prove that they were related.
But what Su Chengcheng can be sure of is that, as Wu Ya said, the destruction of the door and the leftists are inseparable, and the emperor's son and the leftists are very likely to be a cooperative relationship, so she needs to find a way to confirm whether the identity of the emperor's son is the person she thinks......
The state banquet is imminent, and the purpose of the four princes of Dongling is still unknown, but she still has to find a way to make peace between the two countries and stop that battle.
Su Qingcheng closed his eyes tightly, went through these things in his mind over and over again, and finally calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.
What she has to do now is to do her best to prevent the war between the two countries, and then find out what happened between the emperor's son and the leftists.
After thinking about this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xu is too relaxed in these days in Qingshui City, so that I feel a little uncomfortable when I come back." She muttered quietly, and couldn't help but think back to those happy times in Qingshui City.
That kind of ordinary and happy days made her unforgettable, how much she wished she was the maid Asu, Ye Yutai was not a prince, just an ordinary person Ye Sheng......
It's a pity that she is the Su Chengcheng who bears a deep hatred of the sea of blood, and Ye Yutai is the hope of Nanye in the future.
