CHAPTER XX

"What else?"

Ye Wei looked at Jianyi suspiciously.

Jianyi didn't point it out directly, but held the wine jug and filled Ye Miao with another glass, muttering in his mouth.

"Exquisite dice An red beans, I don't know if I am lovesick to the bones."

Ye Wei looked closely at the wine glass in his hand, and the poem in his mouth was in his ear.

"Acacia ......" Ye Yuan's eyes were a little blurry, and he didn't know if he was very drunk.

Β·

"Oh, you're awake." Cui Niang stood by the bed and handed the sobering soup to Ye Yuan, who had just woken up, "You can drink less bars, it's not good for your body." ”

Ye Hao rubbed his head that hurt a little, and asked while drinking the sobering soup, "How did I come back yesterday?" ”

"It was a guy who drove you back, saying that he was watching their son-in-law see you drunk on the side of the road."

It seems that Jianyi did not indicate his identity, fortunately, otherwise Ye Yuan would not know how to explain.

Ye Mo sat on the edge of the bed and put on her shoes after drinking the sobering soup, and was about to get up when she saw the pot of Junzi Orchid next to the bed. The previous dead leaves are gone, and the leaves are green.

"Cui Niang, Cui Niang." Ye Miao shouted loudly.

"What's wrong?"

"You can feed this gentleman."

"yes, it took a lot of work." Cui Niang fiddled with the leaves of the Junzi Orchid, "It's cold right now, so you can only put it in the house." ”

Ye Miao looked at the bluegrass in the pot and thought of Shen Yuan, and then remembered the words of Jianyi last night in his ears.

"Auntie is at home, I'm going to go find her."

"In, in......"

Before Cui Niang finished speaking, Ye Miao ran out in a puff of smoke.

Β·

"Auntie!"

When Ye Jia arrived, Ye Jia was having breakfast.

"Why are you here, you haven't had breakfast yet, let's have some together."

Ye Miao had something to do in his heart and ate it in three or two clicks, but Ye Jia was still eating slowly, looking at Ye Jia Ye Tao didn't dare to urge, so he could only wait quietly.

After Ye Jia finished eating, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth and smiled, "Say, what's so anxious about the morning?" ”

When it came time to speak, Ye Miao hesitated a little, "Auntie...... You have traveled south and north to see a lot of knowledge, I don't know if you have a way to Daikin. ”

"Daikin?"

At present, the two countries have just negotiated peace, and the trade route is also resuming. Many businessmen are still watching the situation to see if the two countries will fight, so there are very few people who go to Daikin to do business.

"You've decided!"

"Hmm" Ye Miao nodded, "Auntie, you won't stop me?" ”

"It's good that you decide, I know you've grown up, and you can think about some things clearly." Ye Jia picked up a cup of tea and tasted it slowly, "I'll help you find the way." ”

"Thank you, auntie," Ye Hao stood up and bowed to Ye Jia, "I'll be safe, I just want to give him a ride this time." ”

Ye Jia didn't say anything more, looking at the back of Ye Hao leaving, he laughed in his heart, this girl is really similar to herself.

Ye Miao returned to the Vermilion Bird Camp and called Wang Hu.

"I want you to help me look up something." Ye Miao gave the paper in his hand to Wang Hu.

"Looking for the old people in the Thirty-Year Palace of Hongqing?"

"Yes, find it and give me a message." Ye Miao nodded, there were some things she wanted to figure out before going to Dajin.

Ye Miao waited for several days and Wang Hu had no news, which made Ye Miao a little anxious.

"No news yet?"

"There is no news from the people sent out, more than ten years have passed, and most of the old people in the palace have no trace."

After listening to Wang Hu's answer, Ye Miao sighed, is it true that he can't find anything?

Β·

"I'll make a little repair at the post station today, and I'll set off tomorrow."

Ye Zheng was feeding his Chifeng in the stable, worried about Ye Yuan, and received a letter from her two days ago saying that he planned to go to Dajin and let him help take care of the Vermilion Bird Camp after he returned.

"Trouble with the general along the way." Zha Huhe said to Ye Zheng in a not very proficient accent.

"It's nothing, you better rest early, we'll have to hurry tomorrow morning."

After speaking, he went to the house, looking at Ye Zheng's back and his face that was still smiling just now instantly became expressionless, this little general is really cautious, he didn't say anything along the way, it seems that this Ye family is really not easy to deal with.

As soon as the second day dawned, Ye Zheng took people to pack up their things and get ready to go, and as soon as he got on the horse, he saw a group of people walking towards the post station.

"Oops, it's finally time to catch up."

Ye Zheng took a closer look, and it turned out to be Gu Jian's kid.

Ye Zheng is unreliable, telling himself that the day when Ye Zheng set off turned out to be wrong, so that he couldn't set off with Ah Zheng, Gu Jian ran to Ye Zheng and gasped.

"Ah Zheng, hurry up and let me catch up."

Ye Zheng frowned, "Why are you here?" ”

"I ...... I didn't mean to chase you. ”

Ye Zheng didn't believe it at all.

"It's my father who asked me to go to the capital to buy goods, I heard that you are also going to the capital, isn't this fate, let's be together."

Ye Zheng led the horse and said speechlessly, "We are about to set off, you have just arrived at the post station, and you will not rest and rest." ”

Gu Jian gasped and said, "No, no, I'm fine, let's go directly." There was a wail from the little guys behind him, God knows how tired they were.

Gu Jian has been close to herself and Ye Miao since she was a child, she was afraid that Zha Hu He would take something out of Gu Jian's mouth, and she would keep Gu Jian by her side all the way, otherwise he would approach Zha Hu He. Gu Jian's journey has blossomed.

Β·

News came from my aunt's side, and ten days later a caravan in the spice business was going to Daikin to get her ready.

"General, there's news."

Ye Hao put down the official letter in his hand and listened to Wang Hu.

"I found an old man who was just released from the palace this year, and it was a coincidence that he was in Qingcheng. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that he's deaf and dumb, and I'm afraid he can't ask anything." Wang Hu lowered his head in shame.

Ye Hao sighed in his heart, thinking that only this kind of deaf and dumb person could survive in that man-eating deep palace.

"I'm going to have to check it out anyway."

Ye Miao took Wang Hu to Qingcheng.

This old man is said to be from the palace's imperial dining room, old and frail, and his ears could not hear when he was young, and then he gradually became unable to speak. This year, the two countries negotiated an amnesty in the palace, and a group of old palace people were released before he could be released.

"Here we are."

The two stopped in front of a small wooden house, Ye Miao picked up the knocker and knocked on the door, knocked for a while without response, but there was movement in the house, and it seemed that there was only one old man in the house.

Ye Miao asked Wang Hu to guard at the door, jumped on the fence and entered the courtyard.

The old man was startled when he saw Ye Mo coming in from outside the wall, and knocked over the teapot in his hand.

"Old man, I have no ill intentions." Ye Mo opened his mouth and suddenly thought that the old man couldn't hear.

Ye Miao stretched out his hand and gestured in front of the old man's eyes, but the old man couldn't understand it.

It seemed that he really couldn't ask anything, Ye Miao picked up the old man's teapot and took it to the well to clean it, and refilled the old man with a pot of tea.

Just as she was about to leave, Ye Miao turned back, dipped her hand in water, and wrote a word on the table, although she knew that most of the people in the palace were illiterate, she still wanted to gamble.

When the old man saw the word "Yuan" written on the table by Ye Yuan, he ran towards the room as if he was frightened, and closed the door to death.

Ye Mo stood at the door and patted the door without any reaction, there was no way, Ye Mo could only shake the door open a crack with a little force, and Ye Mo pushed the door from the outside through this seam.

The old man curled up on the ground and begged Ye Yuan for mercy in a panic, Ye Yuan knew that the old man might have misunderstood something, but he must know something related to Shen Yuan.

She turned around and closed the door and lifted the old man up from the ground, showing him that she had no ill will. The old man saw that Ye Miao had no further movements, and slowly became less nervous.

Ye Miao wanted to write the word "yuan" to the old man again and found that the teapot was outside, she was worried that she would have to work hard to go out and come back in now, so she picked up the dagger on her waist and pulled it out.

The old man Ye Miao pulled out the dagger to kill him, and he closed his eyes in fright, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Miao taking the dagger and cutting his fingers, and wrote the word "yuan" on the ground with the blood of his fingertips.

The old man recognized this word because he had seen it from his old friend before, and his old friend had died miserably because of this word.

Ye Miao pointed to the word "yuan" on the ground and looked at the old man, hoping that the old man could give him an answer. The old man sighed deeply, as if he had made up his mind.

"Youβ€”ahemβ€”want to ask about the Six Princes."

Ye Miao was surprised that this old man could actually speak.

"It's true that I'm deaf, but not dumb." The old man hadn't spoken for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Ye Wei pointed to the words on the ground, and the old man spoke slowly.

"I don't know much about the Six Princes, I just have some friendship with the Six Princes' personal palace Dafu when they were young."

Ye Miao stretched out her hand and compared to thirty, and the old man knew that she wanted to know about the thirty years of Hongqing.

"When I was in the thirtieth year of Hongqing, I was just a small palace person in the imperial dining room, I only remember that year, the second prince surrounded the emperor and a group of palace concubines in the Buddhist hall in the palace, and we palace people couldn't move around. Many people died in the palace that year...... "The old man seemed to be caught up in his memory.

"At that time, there were rumors in the palace that the sixth prince's mother, Concubine Jia Guifei, had colluded with the second prince, but it was just some chasing after the wind. But also because of these chasing after the wind and shadows, the six princes have suffered a lot. ”

Ye Miao pointed to the words on the ground and then to the old man, indicating that he wanted to know about things related to Dafu.

The old man understood what Ye Miao meant and continued to speak, "Dafu was originally by Concubine Jia's side, and Concubine Jia was deeply favored at that time, not to mention the scenery. But Concubine Jia also went in that disaster, leaving only the six princes and Dafu to rely on each other in the palace. At that time, the mothers and concubines of several princes in the palace had gone, and Wu Guifei and Liu Guifei had already raised several princes, and the six princes had been living in the prince's house. At that time, it was very difficult for the two of them in the palace, and I only occasionally took something from the imperial dining room to relieve them. ”

"Then there was a year...... "the old man paused for a while, "the princes practiced arrows in the palace martial arts arena, and the eighth prince practiced arrows unsteadily, and accidentally shot Dafu. ”

The old man secretly went to see Dafu's body, the rain that day was really heavy, Dafu's chest lying on the ground was pierced by an arrow, and the six princes knelt next to Dafuku motionless.

He remembered that when he went to deliver meals to the Eighth Prince that year, he overheard the Eighth Prince say that he was going to kill the Sixth Prince in the martial arts arena, which is why he later secretly went to get medicine to make his ears deaf. However, he didn't say this to Ye Yuan.
