Chapter 248 Ye Feizhou, you have become more capable
Ye Feizhou didn't think much about it. His first reaction when he saw the Third Prince was to run, and he ran with great ease. However, he was stopped by ten secret guards.
He looked back and cursed: "Are you sick? You actually sent ten secret guards to stop me. You really think highly of me!"
Quan Qingyun was also angry. "If I had known that you would be able to become one of the top ten martial arts masters in a dozen years, I would not have sent you to learn martial arts! I am digging a hole for myself. Now I want to stop you. Even if I send out these ten top secret guards, I have no confidence that I can stop you. Just promise not to run away, and I will withdraw my people."
Ye Feizhou was really helpless, "Okay, I won't run, you can withdraw them!" Quan Qingyun waved his hand, and the secret guard flashed and disappeared into the night again.
Ye Feizhou stood still, watching Quan Qingyun approach, and asked awkwardly, "Are you following me?"
Quan Qingyun snorted coldly, "Look, I got here before you, who do you think should follow?"
The night flying boat was silent.
Quan Qingyun asked him, "Where are you going?"
Ye Feizhou still remained silent.
"Manor?" He frowned, looking at the awkward child in front of him. Although the child had grown up, in his eyes he was always a skinny kid who was only as tall as a carrot. He calmed down and tried to discuss with him calmly, "Feizhou, come back with me." He reached out to pull him, but failed. Quan Qingyun was a little anxious, "Do you have to go?"
Ye Feizhou nodded.
Quan Qingyun clenched his fist and asked, "I'll ask you again, do you have to go?"
"Well, I must go."
"What if I tie you up and take you back?"
Ye Feizhou raised his eyelids and looked at him. "Don't you, the Third Prince, have to go to the backyard of the Prince Ren's Mansion and the rooms of the concubines? You have places you have to go, so why can't I?"
Quan Qingyun was so angry that his face turned blue. "Okay, you are good. You have grown up and I can't control you anymore. You even know how to use words to stop me. Don't you know why there are so many people in my yard? Okay, I know you have a weird temper and I won't make it difficult for you. Just go!"
He was quite efficient. After he finished speaking, he started walking towards the city gate.
Ye Feizhou stood there in a daze for a while, and when he looked back, Quan Qingyun had already walked a long way and reached the city gate.
From a distance, he could be seen standing at the gate for a while, talking to the soldiers guarding the city, and then the gate opened a little, and he walked in neatly without even turning his head. The ten secret guards also withdrew in the night, and the surrounding world was quiet. No one was staring at him, and no one noticed that he was standing here.
The city gates were closed, and the Third Prince was no longer visible. Ye Feizhou couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He only knew that he couldn't tell Quan Qingyun what he was going to do, at least not before he had done it.
I have offended someone tonight. If he can come back alive, I will go to Renwang Palace to apologize!
That night, Ye Wenyan always felt that something was going to happen and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
In the past, I didn't want the maid to keep watch by my bed, but now I can't find anyone to talk to.
She had no choice but to get up, put on some clothes and go to the yard. As soon as she pushed the door open, a person suddenly hung down from the top of the door, facing her face, and scared Ye Wenyan so much that she screamed "Ah". This scream was a good thing, Xiangdong, Zhuier, Ji Mama, and the maids and old women in the yard all ran out, one by one, putting on clothes, one by one, carrying shoes, and all looked at Ye Wenyan.
Madam Ji was the first to rush forward and asked, "Miss, what happened?" Then she looked at the person hanging upside down on the door and understood about 80% of what was going on. She immediately shouted, "Ji Rong, come down quickly!"
Ye Wenyan then remembered that she still had two experts acting as secret guards by her side. On weekdays, when she went in and out, there were many people following her. Ji Duo and Ji Rong usually did not show up, so when she had nothing to do, she would not ask where the brother and sister went to rest.
It turned out that the brother and sister did not rest at all, but took turns to guard her, staying where she could not see, protecting her safety at all times.
She came to her senses and quickly spoke: "It's okay, it's okay. I was making a fuss. Go back and rest. Nothing happened."
The servants went back to rest in bewilderment. Zhuier and Xiangdong wanted to stay, but she sent them away. Instead, she pulled Nanny Ji into the house to talk. Ji Rong was a little embarrassed and said that she would never fall down from the door again, and then she disappeared into the darkness again.
Nanny Ji accompanied her back to the room. Seeing her take off her shoes and sit on the bed, she came over and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong? Are you worried about something?"
She shook her head. "What worries do I have? If I did have any, I would just quietly run to Yanhua Palace. There's no need for me to sit at home and worry."
Madam Ji laughed when she heard this. "Young lady and Lord Emperor are so close, I am really happy to hear this. I was happy for Lord Emperor before, thinking that Lord Emperor finally met a good girl after four hundred years. Now that I have been with young lady for a long time, I am also happy for her, thinking that she has met the best man in the world."
Ye Wenyan smiled, "That's good for both sides, for us, for Madam, and for the Ji family." She said these words with a smile, but she was still worried in her heart, so she pulled Madam Ji and asked, "What time is it now?"
Madam Ji said, "It's past midnight." "It's past midnight... Is there anything going on in the mansion?"
"Be quiet, I haven't heard anything wrong." Madam Ji began to worry about her, "What happened to Miss?"
"Nothing, I just can't sleep." She moved on the couch, "Mammy, please talk to me!"
"Okay." Madam Ji stood up and poured a bowl of warm tea. "You can't sleep anyway, so why not have a cup of tea? I'll chat with you. Just ask what you want to hear. If you want to say something, I'll listen carefully."
Ye Wenyan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll ask! Madam, do you know when my grandfather returned the military power?"
Madam Ji replied, "I heard that it was given to you when you asked the late emperor for permission to marry you. Why do you think of asking this, young lady?"
She said, "Shi Liyuan told me that my grandfather proposed marriage on my behalf in order to show that he would stand on the side of the Sixth Prince and Queen Mother Li, because he really didn't like the Third Prince, who was favored by the late emperor. But if he handed over the military power at the same time as proposing marriage, then the Ye family still compromised and made concessions to the royal family."
She thought about the scene in her mind. "Grandfather must have thought that I would express my dissatisfaction with the throne with my attitude, but at the same time I would use my military power in exchange for your decree to grant the marriage." She shook her head as she spoke. "I was so willful and blind before. I really don't understand why I would fall in love with such a thing."
Madam Ji smiled bitterly, "In fact, it doesn't matter whether the old general hands over the generals or not. Even if the military power is handed over, no one can lead them. With the military power in hand, he can use a military token to mobilize the troops openly. But if he doesn't have the military power, with the military prestige of the old general Ye, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, the generals will still stand on the side of the Ye family. The late emperor knew all these things. Using military power in exchange for an imperial decree to grant marriage is just a face-saving measure."
"It should be my grandfather's attitude towards the Sixth Prince!" Ye Wenyan fiddled with the bell on his wrist and laughed softly, "Grandfather is the most shrewd person. Although he doesn't like the Third Prince, he also doesn't like the Sixth Prince very much. The weight of both sides is equal to each other in his eyes, and no one is much higher than the other. After all he said and calculated, in the end he just fulfilled his most beloved granddaughter. Unfortunately, his granddaughter didn't live up to his love."
"Miss." Madam Ji wanted to persuade her not to say that about herself, but she felt that Ye Wenyan had completely moved on now, so it was okay to talk about the past, just as if she was talking about an irrelevant person. So she changed the subject, "Miss, you are smart, in fact, you have always understood these things in your heart, why did you pull me here to talk in the middle of the night?"
Ye Wenyan shook her head, "I don't understand it all, because I don't know when my grandfather returned the military power. I just thought that the marriage was a challenge to the late emperor, and it was a clear statement that he didn't like the third prince. But now it seems that it was more for me, which makes me trust my grandfather more. After all, in this family, only my grandfather is willing to really stand up for me. Only he is willing to teach me how to read and write, and teach me martial arts and military books. If it weren't for my grandfather, I would only rely on my father... hehe." She didn't say anything else, took a sip of tea, and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this, Nanny, I don't know what's wrong, I always feel that something is going to happen tonight, and I feel uneasy. Otherwise, Nanny, accompany me to walk around the mansion!"
Madam Ji nodded, "Okay, I will accompany you in whatever you want to do, young lady."
As they were talking, before Nanny Ji could get up to help her get her clothes, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Xiangdong walked in from outside, taking her clothes as she walked.
Ye Wenyan's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" He got off the ground and put on his coat with Xiangdong's help. "Who got into trouble? My mother or my sister?"
"Neither." Xiang Dong shook her head. "It's the eldest young master. Right now everyone in the mansion has been called to Xu Ming Tang. Miss, you should go over and take a look!" After putting on her clothes, she sat down to put on her shoes. She asked again, "It's the middle of the night. My eldest brother is a man. What could happen to him?"
Xiang Dong replied, "It was the maid in the Madam's courtyard who came to tell us the news. She just told us to go to Xu Ming Tang immediately. She didn't know what was going on. Even the Madam was called by the servants in the front yard. Oh, by the way, it is said that the matter is related to the Yu family."
"The Yu family? The Yu family that we are engaged to?" She remembered that she had mentioned the Yu family to Ye Feiyu in the afternoon. How come they came to her house in the evening after only mentioning them in the daytime? Was it such a coincidence?
