Chapter 86: Strings and Sounds, Easy to Change Velvet(1/2)
"Wei Chen, welcome Princess Beimo back to the palace."
Ye Xunyu had been waiting at the inn early. He didn't see the princess coming out for two full hours, so he walked to the door to greet her.
There was no response, so he could only stand outside the door and wait silently.
The maid in the back room looked out the window and was so frightened by such a huge formation that she immediately closed the window.
Yanyu on the side stamped her feet anxiously, feeling even more flustered and at a loss: "What can I do? The princess hasn't returned yet."
"Why don't we just say it directly. After all, we all know that the princess sneaked out to play last night and has not returned yet."
Yan Ran was about to open the door when she was held back.
"No."
For Yanyu, this matter must not be leaked. After all, the emperor of Xuandu cannot be aware that Beimo is disrespectful towards him.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "This is a shameful thing. We can only hide it from the truth."
"What do you want to do?"
"Put on the princess's clothes and veil, and they won't be suspicious. Then we'll send people to find the princess."
I thought that the princess would come back after going out last night, but I don't know where she is, which is really worrying.
At this moment, Yanyu can only solve the current difficulties in this way.
"Put it on quickly."
When Yanyu gave the princess's clothes to herself, she was extremely flustered and trembling: "Will someone find out?"
The two of them are biological sisters. Yanran has not been very courageous since she was a child, and Yanyu is the only one who speaks sharply.
"As long as I'm here, no one will notice."
As soon as Yanyu opened the door with a look of joy, this person has been waiting outside the door.
When Ye Xunyu saw the situation, he immediately said, "I have seen the princess."
Yan Ran smiled slightly in panic and returned the greeting.
"Sir, it's time to set off."
Timidly, Yan Ran glanced at him. His handsome face, conversation and behavior were so elegant, and she subconsciously lowered her eyes, not daring to keep looking at him.
"Princess, please come this way."
As soon as Ye Xunyu raised his eyes, he noticed that she looked at him, which was really weird.
If it is true as the emperor said, the determination in front of me is a fake.
How could the Northern Desert Princess be so well-behaved and shy when she was born a bad person?
Yan Ran sat in the carriage, holding her tightly with her trembling hands, and whispered: "Sister, I'm still a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?" What she said made Yanyu panic. She tilted her head and whispered a warning. "From now on, you are the princess. When the princess comes back, it will not be too late to apologize."
"
Feiyu led the horse over and asked Ye Xunyu, "Sir, this person is not the Princess of Beimo."
Ye Xunyu stared back at the two people in the carriage and chuckled: "Even you can see it. It seems that the emperor's guess is right."
Yesterday, Murong Haochen gave special instructions that no matter whether Princess Beimo was true or false, she must not expose her.
If they come to negotiate peace under the pretense, he will naturally reveal the matter.
After condensing his thoughts, he ordered: "Feiyu, order a secret investigation of the whereabouts of Princess Beimo."
"My subordinates will do it now."
Feiyu stared around and went to execute it without any strangeness.
With his deep eyes, he stared up and looked at the team of people heading here. With a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the person next to him: "The envoy is here, what is the important matter?"
"The princess is here today, but I wonder what the emperor is thinking about the marriage?" Huan Huan stared at the group of people, with a sharp blade hidden in his furrowed brows.
"I naturally agree to the marriage. Why not do it to promote good relations between the two countries? Envoy, what do you think?"
When people from the Northern Desert came here so suddenly, they knew that everything was not that simple.
Until they brought Princess Beimo, all the fog was lifted one by one.
He bowed his hands and said, "Beimo is willing to become allies with Hexuandu."
"You can have a young person serve as an envoy. It seems that your Northern Desert King believes in your strength."
There was a puzzling look hidden in his cold eyes, and he said peacefully in a blink of an eye, "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
"I have arranged the princess's bedroom. I will arrange for your princess to rest as soon as possible. See you again tomorrow."
No matter who is sitting in Jiaochu, he only allows them one day.
If Han Xin has not come back tomorrow, the marriage will not be counted.
At first, I thought she would agree to this. I really don’t know, what does she care about?
He said he was taking advantage of the Ye family, but he never really took advantage of others.
She doesn't understand, and she doesn't want her to understand. I just wish she could understand.
He let out a long sigh, turned around and took another look, then walked away.
"My lord, I would like to send you to your Majesty."
Seeing the unsuspecting look on his face, the corner of his mouth showed an evil curl.
Everything will be over soon, and it's time for you to come back.
The patrolling soldiers saw a figure walking furtively in the palace.
He immediately walked up and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing sneakily?"
She was so frightened that she immediately turned around, and when she saw them pointing swords at her, she loudly shouted: "Presumptuous——"
"Come here, arrest this man and bring him to the emperor for interrogation."
From what I heard, she actually forgot where she was.
"Let me go, do you know who I am?"
Without any mercy, he waved his hand and said: "Take away——"
Seeing a person coming from a distance, he broke free from their restraints ferociously, ran to that person, took her hand and asked for help: "Sister, you have to help me."
Seeing this, they all knelt down to say goodbye: "Subordinate, please see Chen Zhaoyi."
Hiding behind Ye Yilan, she raised her eyes and looked at the side face, staring with a trace of doubt.
She is actually the empress?
Seeing this, Zi Ling remembered the poisoning that day, and with lingering fear, she pulled Empress Che's sleeves and whispered to her: "Empress, the emperor has ordered that this kind of thing must not happen again."
After hearing what she said, she turned sideways and looked at the woman behind her. But when she saw her looking innocent and smiling at herself, her heart softened at that moment.
"You all get up."
"Your Majesty, this woman is very sneaky and she is about to be handed over to the Emperor for disposal."
Just as he was about to step forward, Ye Yilan stopped in front of him and said, "They say this person is sneaky. Aren't you afraid of bringing her into the presence of the emperor, or of assassinating the emperor?"
"This..." he whispered, not knowing what to say about this matter.
But if you think about it carefully, Chen Zhaoyi's words do make sense. If this woman really had evil intentions to assassinate the emperor, she would be blamed but her life would be in danger.
"Leave this person to me. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it alone."
"Subordinate, take orders." Since Chen Zhaoyi had spoken, he could only obey.
He took his men with him and resigned.
"My dear, you don't even know who that woman is, how can you protect her?"
She watched the slave pull Chen Zhaoyi aside and whisper, helplessly playing with her sleeves, feeling very bored.
Ye Yilan turned around and saw her standing silently. He stepped forward and looked at her for a long time, then asked: "What is your name? From the sound of your voice, you are not from Xuandu."
"I am from the Northern Desert myself." Looking at that face, it seemed that the face seemed familiar, but it felt different. I leaned on the railing and sighed. "I'm new here, but unfortunately I got lost."
"The people of the Northern Desert are so rude. As a slave, you don't behave like a slave."
Zi Ling heard that her tone didn't sound like a slave at all, so she said this.
However,
"You..." After hearing this, I didn't know how to lecture her.
Instead, he glanced at Chen Zhaoyi. She was smiling all the time and was extremely easy-going. She lowered her eyes and played with her sleeves.
"May I have your name?"
He saw her holding his hand and looking at her with puzzled eyes. He told her without hesitation: "Xin'er."
"Your princess has just entered the palace today, and she hasn't returned to Quanyuan Palace yet."
