Yo, lost the jade seal?

Lai Yudang What's going on here?

"Guards with knives cannot enter the palace!" Jin Rui shouted loudly towards the door.

"Yes, yes, guards with knives are not allowed to enter the palace. Does Guard Ye want to break the law?" Yu Yao at the door reacted quickly, stopped Ye Qiubai, and glanced at Jin Rui again. The young master was angry again.

Ye Qiubai stopped immediately when he was about to start, tapped Shang Laiyu's wrist twice, and said flatly: "I won't go in."

Ye Qiubai has long been accustomed to being a monarch, minister and minister. As a descendant of the Ye family, he cannot escape the fate of generations.

"Oh?" Lai Yu didn't let go of his hand, turned sideways to look at the angry Jin Rui in the room, and said, "Then it's fine without a knife?"

After finishing speaking, he untied the jade belt around Ye Qiubai's waist, Ashu slipped into his hand, Lai Yu threw him to Yu Yao and said, "Help me put it away."

Yu Yao held the A Shu sword like a hot potato, looked at Lai Yu helplessly, and whispered: "General, aren't you killing me?"

Lai Yu can't control so much, anyway, he doesn't want Ye Qiubai to be wronged.

A person like Lai Yu, who has stood in a high position since birth and is on par with Jin Rui, can't understand Ye Qiubai's hesitation and Jin Rui's anger.

Ignoring Yu Yao, Lai Yu took Ye Qiubai's hand and entered the room.

"Lai Yu!" Jin Rui shouted Lai Yu's name, "He is a guard, you bring him to sit on an equal footing with me, because you don't like my status as emperor, or you want him to try my position too!"

"It's just sitting together drinking tea, why do you have to pay attention to the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers!" Lai Yu was also a little anxious, and raised his voice back to Jinrui.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"I want to go back to the mansion to get some things, so I'll go back first." Ye Qiubai said to someone, then broke away from Lai Yu's hand, grabbed his wrist and pulled it tightly, signaling him not to stop. The quarrel went on.

Lai Yu's tense body relaxed a little, regained some calmness, and whispered to Ye Qiubai: "Then you go back first, come back early, I will wait for you in the room."

Ye Qiubai nodded, his neck was reddened by Lai Yu's unintentional words, and he left with his head down.

After watching Ye Qiubai's figure disappear, Lai Yu sat back on the stool in despair, and took a sip of the tea he poured for Ye Qiubai.

San Dao hugged Wu Mi again, and looked up to watch the show.

The two of them were sitting here peacefully, and thought to themselves: This Jinrui can't rub the sand in his eyes.

Seeing Ye Qiubai leave, Jin Rui's gloomy face disappeared immediately, and he sat beside Lai Yu and asked, "A Shu, have you found the jade seal?"

Lai Yu, who lowered his head, paused for a moment. For the first time, he felt that Jin Rui's face changed so quickly, which was completely different from the submissive boy he met when he was a child.

"I found it." Lai Yu pointed to the wooden box on the table and Jin Rui said, without saying too much.

Hearing Lai Yu's voice, Jin Rui's face froze, and he opened the wooden box without any disturbance, took out the jade seal fragments inside and hid it in the inner room, then leaned out and asked, "Where is the next jade seal? Are there any signs?"

Jin Rui's urgent words made Lai Yu think that he was just a slave doing work.

"Yes, let's rest for a few days, study the map, and then we will set off." Isn't it a slave? Lai Yu replied to Jin Rui in a matter-of-fact manner.

"That's great." Jin Rui came out of the inner room happily, hearing Lai Yu's voice, the corner of his mouth froze with a smile.

Jin Rui is not afraid of being scolded by Lai Yu, but he is afraid that Lai Yu will treat him coldly.

But Lai Yu really didn't want to chat with Jin Rui any more today, so he got up and wanted to leave.

"A Shu, I married Xiangmei as my concubine." Suddenly, Jin Rui changed the subject.

"What!" Lai Yu suddenly looked at Jin Rui, and his footsteps stopped immediately.

Seeing Lai Yu's ups and downs, Jin Rui smiled again.

Whether you are happy or angry, as long as Lai Yu no longer treats you coldly, you can use any method.

"I have already married Xiangmei as my concubine." Jin Rui replied indifferently.

Lai Yu calmed down a little, anyway, since Xie Xiangmei insisted on coming to Dadu, Lai Yu should have thought of it, what was surprised was Jin Rui's actions.

Lai Yu watched the two grow up since childhood, and he couldn't be more clear that Jin Rui has no love for Xie Xiangmei, nor does he have any interest in it. What is the reason for Jin Rui to marry Xie Xiangmei?

Lai Yu couldn't ask more, although the two had been close to him since they were young, there were still layers of barriers between them, imperial power, political affairs...the feeling of childhood has long since changed.

Fortunately for Lai Yu, Ye Qiubai, who is the most reluctant to let go, has not been involved yet.

Thinking in this way, Lai Yu realized a little bit of Ye Hongtu's plan, exchanging Ye Qiubai's childhood for a lifetime of freedom is a good measure.

He also lamented that Ye Hongtu was really cruel and extreme, thinking that Ye Qiubai would accept his fate like him, deprived Ye Qiubai of the opportunity to choose, and even changed Ye Qiubai's temper.

Don't think so, Lai Yu sighed deeply, why did he start thinking wildly.

Jin Rui thought that Lai Yu would sigh again, and hurriedly said: "If you don't want me to marry Xiangmei, then I will issue an edict now..."

"Since you are married to Xiangmei, treat her well." Lai Yu was still immersed in his thoughts just now, and did not carefully explore the meaning of Jin Rui's words, but only sincerely asked.

"What about the other one?" Jin Rui asked, frowning.

Lai Yu was confused.

"Is there nothing else to tell me?" Jin Rui asked Lai Yu, emphasizing the word "I", which was straightforward enough.

"Happy wedding." Lai Yu replied straightforwardly.

"If you marry Xiangmei just to get my blessing, then Xiangmei's sincerity towards you will be wasted." Lai Yu cleared his eyes and warned Jinrui, "Don't make Xiangmei sad."

Patting Jin Rui on the shoulder, Lai Yu left the hall.

Seeing the situation, San Dao hurriedly followed Lai Yu with his five fans in his arms.

Jin Rui looked at Lai Yuyuan's back, and smiled to himself with red eyes: "Don't worry, Ashu, Xiangmei is still very useful by my side."

Ye Fu

Having not returned home for a long time, and approaching the door, Lai Yu felt the strangeness of just returning to the mansion from Daying.

It's always cold here, especially after spending a long time with Lai Yu and the others.

But after all, it is the family that raised him, and there is that powerful father in the house.

Taking a step forward, Ye Qiubai stepped into the mansion.

"Master, you're back!" Seeing Ye Qiubai, the steward dropped what he was doing and rushed forward to greet him.

"Is father in the study?" Ye Qiubai asked the steward directly. After greeting Ye Hongtu earlier, he could go back to the palace earlier. With the tension between Lai Yu and Jin Rui, Ye Qiubai was worried about what would happen.

"Hmm..." The steward hesitated for a moment, and he hesitated, "The master is out on business, and he's not in the mansion."

"Oh?" Ye Qiubai asked unconsciously, "Father rarely goes out on missions, what's the matter this time?"

"This... I don't know, the master didn't tell me." The steward felt guilty.

Ye Hongtu would not leave Dadu without any reason, and would hand over the missions to the steward, and Ye Qiubai knew it clearly, so he blurted out that the steward was very guilty of this.

"In this case, I won't wait for my father anymore, and I will go out on a mission soon, so you can greet him for me." Ye Qiubai replied calmly, ending the conversation.

The steward sighed softly: "Okay, I will tell the master when he returns home, then you should be careful when you go out."

After saying that, the steward shut his mouth in a hurry, didn't this last sentence drive Ye Qiubai to leave the mansion, the steward hurriedly answered: "Master, stay in the mansion for a few days before leaving?"

Ye Qiubai was completely calm, and replied: "I'll take a few spare clothes and leave, you don't have to worry about me, just go about your business."

"Hey." The steward took the order and hurriedly retreated.

Ye Qiubai walked through the lobby and went straight to the study.

Where Ye Hongtu had gone, the manager naturally knew, he hesitated to avoid Ye Qiubai, which made Ye Qiubai even more curious about what he needed to hide from his own son.

There is nothing beside Ye Qiubai that Ye Hongtu should guard against, and after thinking about it, there is only Lai Yu.

Father was on guard against himself, Ye Qiubai would not take this trip, he had nothing anyway, if Lai Yu was involved, Ye Qiubai would have to investigate carefully.

Arriving at the back window of the study with ease, Ah Shujian broke open the rusty window blocker and Ye Qiubai jumped in.

The outside of the Ye Mansion was heavily guarded, but the inside was somewhat negligent. Ye Qiubai rummaged through the study unscrupulously.

It was the first time that he carefully explored Ye Hongtu's study room. The objects were neatly arranged without leaving any gaps, and they seemed to be unable to return to their original positions after touching them. However, Ye Qiubai couldn't be bothered. It's tidying up, thanks to my father's blessing, I developed such a habit, and put the messed things back neatly.

After searching carefully for a while, Ye Qiubai found a few strange objects from several places, which should not have appeared in the study.

Of the three pots, one was filled with yellow sand, one was filled with water, and the other was empty.

Ye Qiubai searched carefully again, reaching into the yellow sand to scoop it up, but there was nothing there, just a can of sand, but trying to feel it, Ye Qiubai guessed it was yellow sand in the desert.

He held up the irrigation liquid again, and smelled it closely, the fishy smell came to his nostrils immediately, and Ye Qiubai felt uncomfortable in his stomach, but he guessed a little, it should be sea water.

The last empty can, Ye Qiubai held it for a long time, hesitating for a long time, or leaned closer to sniff the inside, he froze immediately, a bloody smell came up, not very strong, probably because it had been left for a long time, the smell dissipated.

Ye Qiubai touched the inner pot again, as expected, his fingertips were stained with dried blood.

Ye Qiubai looked at the three pots in a daze, yellow sand, sea water...

Ye Qiubai suddenly realized that he was able to guess what was in this bottle because he had been to deserts and islands, and Ye Hongtu had been there, so it was easy to explain.

But what does Ye Qiubai do with these things, Ye Qiubai doesn't think that his father has such a preference, and it's too late to avoid dirty things.

And what about that jar of blood?

Ye Qiubai racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, the things in his belly were limited, so naturally he couldn't string them together.

Ye Qiubai sighed, put the bottle back to its original place, and muttered, "I still have to count on you."

Who are you counting on?

"Lai Yu!"
