Back at Yunwei Palace, it was noon.

also happened to meet Ye Shuhua who was going out.

"Where are you going? How do I feel that you are busier than me, I haven't eaten with you for a long time, and it is early to get down this morning, so hurry back and want to have lunch with you. ”

Ye Shuhua recalled that it seemed that she had accompanied Zhou to ride a horse a few days ago when she went out early and returned late, and accompanied her to Mingshan yesterday.

They really only see each other at night.

But it's also a staggered meal.

"I'm going to Dongfang Mansion, Dongfang Yao has made a new wine, let me go and taste it."

"Well, how about I'll come back early in the evening and have dinner with you?"

Li Zhen is naturally reluctant, but it's hard to say anything.

had to nod his head with grievances in his eyes.

Ye Shuhua looked at him like that, she hadn't seen him like this for a long time, and she was as aggrieved as a little milk dog.

She stretched out her hand, touched his head, and said with a smile: "Be obedient, wait for me obediently in the house." ”

"Then I'll wash my hands and wait on the bed for the lady to come." He approached, and the trace of grievance was gone, except for the cunning in the corner of his eye.

The tone is light and ambiguous.

Hearing this, Ye Shuhua was red-eared, and his eyes were looking around, and Zhuying and Jiuyu were standing two steps away, standing expressionlessly.

But the corners of the lips that held back the smile had betrayed them.

Ji Cui was stupid and didn't hear it.

The doorway guard who was standing farther away naturally didn't hear it.

This Liqi is really getting more and more cheeky.

"Begging for a beating!" Ye Shuhua was stupid and raised his hand to fight, but the man hid faster than a rabbit.

He pecked her on the cheek with lightning speed, straightened up quickly, smiled profusely, and walked away.

The carriage swayed and drove slowly, and soon arrived at the Oriental Mansion.

Zhuying was still not at ease, and stepped forward and said, "Miss, don't you suspect that she intends to harm you?" Is this how you enter the Oriental Mansion? In case ......"

"It's okay, even if she kills me, she won't kill me in Dongfang Mansion."

Ye Shuhua turned his head and looked at Zhuying and Ji Cui behind him, "Let's go." ”

There was a maid waiting at the door, and she took Ye Shuhua all the way through the front yard to the backyard, in the courtyard of Baguio Pool.

Wine had already been set on the stone table in the courtyard, and Dongfang Yao was sitting here waiting for her to come.

Seeing her coming, he hurriedly got up to greet her, with a shallow smile on his face, still soft and delicate.

"The second princess is here, please take a seat."

When the maidservant who led the way had arrived, she departed.

There are only her and Dongfang Yao in the courtyard now, as well as Zhuying and Ji Cui.

Ye Shuhua walked slowly, sat down and pretended to look around.

deliberately spoke: "In this huge courtyard, why don't you see a maidservant?" ”

Dongfang Yao poured her wine and said, "I didn't like others when I drank, so I sneaked out of those maidservants." However, the two maidservants beside the second princess can stay, it doesn't matter. ”

"Of course, if the second princess can trust me, it would be best if they weren't there."

Ye Shuhua smelled the sake in the wine cup, glanced at Ji Cui and Zhuying behind him, and said lazily: "You guys also step down, I'll call you again if you have something." ”

"Princess!" Bamboo Shadow couldn't help but widen his eyes and whispered.

"Stand down." Ye Shuhua's tone was unquestionable.

Bamboo Shadow understood what Miss meant.

Even if he was worried, he still followed Ji Cui out of the Baguio Pool.

But he was just guarding the gate of the courtyard, listening to the movements inside all the time.

Dongfang Yao pointed to the wine cup in front of her again and said, "This is my newly brewed wine, please Jun, the second princess should taste it quickly, how does it taste?" ”

Ye Shuhuayu picked up the teacup in her hand, raised her head and drank it all.

The wine is soft in the mouth, spicy in the aftertaste, but after the spicy, it has a refreshing fragrance, overflowing all over the mouth.

The whole body is comfortable and open-minded from the inside out.

"Good wine."

She said.

Dongfang Yao smiled faintly and poured another one for her.

This Ye Shuhua was not in a hurry to drink it.

Instead, he said, "Say, what did the Oriental girl call me to do?" ”

"Also, don't say it's just for wine tasting, you and I are not friends, and we are not good enough to taste wine for you. You must have some other purpose. ”

Dongfang Yao took a sip of wine, her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the Second Imperial Concubine is really smart, but she is not particularly smart. ”

"I came to the second imperial concubine without a purpose, if it is not for a purpose, then I want to answer the doubts in the second imperial concubine's heart."

"Answer my doubts?"

Dongfang Yao raised his eyebrows and nodded: "That's right, doesn't the second imperial concubine have doubts?" The request of the second imperial concubine that I promised before has always been valid, and as long as the second imperial concubine asks, I will know everything and say everything. ”

Ye Shuhua's eyes flashed, and there was surprise in her eyes.

Suddenly, a diametrically opposite idea popped up.

But she quickly rejected it, and she felt that it was impossible.

But she hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Oriental girl, but who wants to kill me during the spring hunt and Yuexin Lake?" ”

After she asked, she stared at Dongfang Yao's face, not letting go of the slightest change in her.

But her expression was unwavering from beginning to end, calm as water.

The jade bowl carved with intricate patterns looks particularly good in her hands.

The white jade is transparent, and the carved hollow red tape is also particularly exquisite, and under the sunlight, there are repeated jade lights scattered on her hands.

Lined with a soft wattle, slender as white jade.

The cup of wine was brought to her lips, and she took a sip before speaking, "I'm not." ”

"I'm the one who has repeatedly protected you."

She didn't believe the first sentence, and she didn't believe the second sentence she said!

The one who protects herself, how can it be her?

What reason does she have to protect herself?

"I know you don't believe it, but when I'm done, you'll decide." She seemed to know what Ye Shuhua was thinking, and after finishing speaking, she glanced at her, lowered her head and took a sip of wine before saying again.

"Agreeing to marry into Yunwei Palace is the idea of the Dongfang family, and it is also the queen's instructions. But I'm actually the one of the three princes. ”

Ye Shuhua lowered her brows, and a look of surprise crossed her eyes, but she didn't interrupt her, but listened to her continue.

"The third prince said that you are his savior, and he naturally can't protect you openly now, but he can protect you secretly. So I was sent to accept this mission, which I originally planned to marry into the Yunwei Palace. ”

"At first, I pretended to like the second prince, and deliberately provoked you, all of them were pretending, after all, I was pushed out by the family to stay in Yunwei Palace, so naturally I had to pretend to be like some and seduce the second prince. It's just that I didn't expect me to tempt you to accept me, but I couldn't force it, and in the end, the second prince still drove me out of Yunwei Palace. ”

"However, at this time, I have already sensed that there is an extremely powerful person beside you, and the lurker is waiting to take your life, so I can only create all kinds of chance encounters, be with you, and save you at the critical moment as much as possible."

Ye Shuhua began to be a little confused when she heard this, and she asked, "There is an extremely powerful person next to me who wants to kill me?" How did Li Shuo know that someone must harm me? ”

"I don't know about this, and the third prince doesn't seem to know either, but he just said that someone will definitely harm you, so I must protect you. As for who it is, I'm also investigating, but there are already some clues, but now is not the time to tell the second princess. ”

Ye Shuhua's doubts in his eyes were even worse, he lowered his eyes and thought about it carefully, his thoughts suddenly jumped to the other side, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Dongfang Yao, and the doubts in his eyes gradually became clear.

"So, when you left Yunwei Mansion and said goodbye, and then deliberately asked Xi Ziying to invite me to the banquet, in order to find out if the dangerous aura around me is still there. During the spring hunt, the dangerous aura I felt hit and disappeared again, and you saved me? ”

"That's right, my arrow blocked the opponent's, and then the arrow changed direction and happened to hit the hare you had been eyeing for a long time."

Ye Shuhua was a little more clear at the moment, so it made sense, that arrow not only pierced the hare's heart, but also half of the arrow body was inserted into the ground.

At the time, she didn't care about these details, but then she thought about it, it was just hunting, where was the need to exert so much energy.

"Then you saved me when I fell into the lake?"

Speaking of this, Dongfang Yao said with shame on his face: "Yes." I'm ashamed of this, I thought that if I could find out that person and kill you, who ever thought about the other party's way, and the second princess almost died. ”

"And the most recent time, I went to the Ming Temple yesterday, and the person who assassinated you was also by your side, but when he was about to make a move, I secretly stopped him in time."

Hearing this, Ye Shuhua thought of the inexplicable yin wind.

"I see, no wonder I think the gust of wind is so strange."
