Rebirth of Peach Blossom

The sun is a bit harsh, but fortunately, there are ice reserves in the luxurious Pingxi Palace. Even so, even if you sit still, you are still sticky with sweat. Ye Ziyu drank sour plum juice one cup after another. Playing chess together with Huaiying, he looks like a lazy cat, ready to fall asleep at any moment.

Seeing this, Huai Ying secretly changed the chess pieces, thinking that he hadn't been discovered, but found that the person on the opposite side hadn't made a move for a long time, so he urged, "It's your turn, hurry up."

Ye Ziyu said indifferently, "Isn't it good for you to play against yourself, you can win if you want to win."

Huaiying glanced around with guilty eyes, just in time to see Xiao Zifu coming in, and hurriedly disrupted the chessboard, "I won't play with you anymore, your attitude is not correct! Zifu, come and play chess with me!"

Ye Ziyu pursed his lips, stepped aside, and lay on the window looking at the wilting flowers outside. Huaiying chatted with Ye Ziyu while playing chess. Seeing Ye Ziyu staring at the flowers, he said, "In recent years, it has been really windy. If the rain does not go well, I remember that in the 22nd year of Xuanhe, there was also a severe drought in the north, and in 24 years, there was also a flood in the southwest, which was the second time.”

Ye Ziyu glanced sideways at Huaiying, "You know a lot at such a young age, even in the past few years."

"I traveled all over the country, and the severe drought and heavy rain have destroyed many precious herbs. My master also kept talking about it, so I can't remember." He was busy changing chess pieces while talking.

Playing chess with Xiao Zifu, Huai Ying still regretted playing chess, and sometimes secretly changed a few pieces, Xiao Zifu didn't bother with him, and pretended to look elsewhere when he changed chess, it couldn't be more hypocritical.

At this time, Ye Ziyu, who was lying on the window, saw Cheng Wanning coming in with a plate, and sat up from the couch, as if she was not the one who was drowsy at all, staring at the door eagerly, Xiao Zifu saw Ye Ziyu After doing this, he stopped the hand holding the chess piece, and said to Huai Ying, "I guess it's Sister Sister who is here."

As soon as the words were finished, Cheng Wanning walked in, "Huh? How did you know? Do martial arts practitioners have such good senses?" Xiao Zifu nodded with a smile, "Yes, my martial arts has improved a lot recently."

There was Gu soup on the plate Cheng Wanning was holding, and there were four small bowls beside it. Ye Ziyu came down from the couch and took the plate, "Why didn't someone carry it?"

Cheng Wanning shook her head with a smile, "It's not a big deal, I made some lotus seed and pear soup to clear away the heat, and it's better to drink more."

Ye Ziyu heard the words, "His own hands?" He hurriedly turned to his side, "Since Ah Ning cooked it herself, I'll drink it all."

Xiao Zifu rolled his eyes at Ye Ziyu, "Isn't it childish?" But the movement of his hands to hold the bowl of soup was fast.At this moment, a young servant said, "Is the doctor Huaiying here? The king invites you to go to the pharmacy to dispense the medicine."

Huaiying's face turned gloomy all of a sudden, "Don't go! You tell him that if I say I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. Even if I'm locked up for two hours, I'm not worthy!"

The servant was a little embarrassed, "This...a genius doctor, please tell the king yourself, please."

Huaiying looked at Ye Ziyu, "What should we do now?"

Ye Ziyu also knew that he had caused Huaiying to suffer this time, so he asked him to wade into the muddy water, "Sit down. I think King Pingxi would be willing to talk to me."

******

Seeing Ye Ziyu approaching, King Pingxi didn't seem surprised at all, "I heard that Mr. Ye and the genius doctor Huaiying are good friends, so the matter of dispensing the antidote shouldn't be regarded as embarrassing the genius doctor? Why did the genius doctor refuse to do so?" The tone became lower and lower, "Could it be that Mr. Ye really isn't in Pingxi?"

It's a matter of time before you tear your skin apart. Ye Ziyu didn't really help King Pingxi at first, but...it can't be now, Ye Ziyu's face showed a bit of grievance, "The king has never had a heart-to-heart with me, and now I am The general of Daxu Blazing Phoenix Army is deeply trusted by Emperor Xuan, so the king must have doubts about me, if I hand over the antidote formula, if the king wants to kill the grass, then I am afraid I will not be able to leave this Yanzhou."

King Pingxi sneered, "How could it be, Mr. Ye is so capable, why is this king willing to kill you?"

At this time, a servant ran in in a panic, "My lord! It's not good, the fifth prince has passed out!"

King Pingxi scolded, "Why are you so unruly? Didn't you see that this king is talking to Mr. Ye about something important?!" The servants kowtowed in a hurry to apologize. King Pingxi looked at Ye Ziyu and asked, "Ye Ye Sir, should you go to visit with me? If the Fifth Prince sees General Ye from Xudu, he should be very happy."

Ye Ziyu looked thoughtfully at the servant kneeling on the ground, "Of course Ziyu is willing."

Walking all the way to the depths of the royal city, the pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions and jacarandas seem to be unaffected by the severe drought, and the fish in the pond are still actively jumping. It is ironic to think about the people outside the city.

And Ye Ziyu felt that the more he went in, the more something was wrong, according to the layout... Going further back, it was the inner house of the king's city, and it was also the place where the king's wife and concubine lived.

Sure enough, along the way, I occasionally saw three or two women together, and the servants saluted one after another, calling them madam or beauties. They really had arrived in the inner house.The servant who just came to report led the way until he arrived at a rather elegant looking courtyard, Shangshu Zhuju.Although it seemed that the fifth prince did not suffer, this actually made Ye Ziyu have a worse guess.

When he entered the inner room, he saw a handsome young man lying on the bed with bruises in his eyes. He obviously didn't rest well. When he saw King Pingxi, he shrank a little, but he still struggled to stand up and salute, but was stopped by King Pingxi.

King Pingxi sat beside the young man's bed, his worry was palpable, but he put his arms around the young man restlessly, his hands were restlessly on the young man's waist, and his movements were affectionate, "Why did Zikai faint suddenly? It really made this king feel uncomfortable. Don't worry for a moment."

Xiao Zikai lowered his head, "I'm fine, the servants made a fuss."

Ye Ziyu stood aside, she should have been very embarrassed, after all, she was Daxu's general, seeing such a scene, should she angrily scold King Pingxi for disrespecting Prince Daxu?Or pretend you didn't see anything?

A look of interest flashed in Ye Ziyu's eyes, and he said hello politely, "I have met the fifth prince, General Chifeng Ye Ziyu."

Hearing this, Xiao Zikai stiffened slightly, his eyes lit up looking at Ye Ziyu, but then he lowered his head and said in embarrassment, "I've heard about General Ye's name for a long time, today I finally see him, he really looks like a dragon and a phoenix."

Ye Ziyu smiled and looked at King Pingxi, "Since the fifth prince is in poor health, please ask Wang Yibu to continue discussing with me outside?"

King Pingxi nodded, "Alright." He told his servants to take care of him carefully, and followed Ye Ziyu to the yard.

Ye Ziyu's face was full of resentment, "What does the king mean? Ziyu is stupid, and I hope you make it clear."

King Pingxi grabbed a bamboo leaf and rubbed it with his fingertips, "Mr. Ye is smart. Since I have to give a clear statement, I will say it directly. I want the fifth prince. Xudu, I will let you know." The same thing is required, Mr. Ye thinks highly of himself, thinking that he can control the overall situation and play with people's hearts, but if he turns around, he might be able to see the rope that this king is tied to Mr. Ye's body."

A rare gust of wind blew by, and the bamboo leaves rustled. King Pingxi looked back at Ye Ziyu who bowed his head, and smiled, "The rope tied to Mr. Ye was given to me by Mr. Ye when we first met. Don’t forget, Mr. Ye.” After a pause, “I’m afraid Zikai misses Xudu very much, Mr. Ye should stay and chat with Zikai, I have other things to attend to, so I won’t accompany you.”

It wasn't until King Pingxi left Zhuju that he couldn't see his back. Ye Ziyu, who had been lowering his head all the time, raised his head and licked his dry lips. Ye Ziyu tilted his head and looked at the bamboo forest. Thinking, it seemed that he had said it a long time ago. , the most annoying thing is that someone threatened Ah Ning's safety...

******

Zhuju is very quiet, and there are not many servants serving it, it seems to be because of Xiao Zikai's habit.The bamboo grove rustled, appearing behind Ye Ziyu in a dark voice, "There was news from Shuzhou that the Yanlong army had invaded the Mingjian Villa, but found that the entire villa was empty. It seemed that they got the news and left. The Yanlong army stayed in Shuzhou to wait for orders." , and help with flood relief.”

Ye Ziyu also pulled a bamboo leaf and rubbed it, "Feng Yehan has always understood how to win the hearts of the people."

Shen Shen just listened, and never talked too much, "One more thing, King Pingxi sent troops to kill the rogues, but the effect was not great. The rogues were forced into the mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and so far they have not been completely wiped out."

Ye Ziyu sneered, without further instructions, An Shen withdrew.Of course, it cannot be wiped out completely. Thieves cry out to catch thieves, and they will never go to catch thieves.

Counting the days, the blazing phoenix army should arrive in Hanzhou tomorrow.The so-called rogues are nothing more than King Pingxi's expansion of troops outside the establishment. There are too many people to cover up, and it coincides with the drought, so they use the name of rogues to continuously expand their strength. It seems that King Pingxi can't help it. , wanting to take a bite of Daxu's fat.

But... can you really bite?

The bamboo leaves were torn apart in the palm of the hand, and the juice was smeared in the palm of the hand, which looked very messy.Ye Ziyu stared at the green on the palm of his hand, although it was dirty, it was smooth.

He clasped his fingers back and rubbed the skin in his palm. There was no scar from the familiar peach blossom brand, it was clean, nothing.

Thinking of the previous life now, it seems that I have really come back again.

Because Zeng Ning is a talented woman, she surpassed the limelight of Empress Zhang's daughter, and because Ah Ning was the niece of Concubine Ming, Empress Zhang always found fault with Ah Ning, and even beat Ah Ning on the grounds that Ah Ning did not know the rules. , Ye Ziyu stood up, spoke rudely, and contradicted the queen.

Empress Zhang has always been arrogant, so she immediately took away Ye Ziyu, making her a taste of punishment at a young age.Not to mention the bruises all over her body, she also taught her a lesson that she would never get rid of. The red-hot iron was seared on the palm of her hand, and it was also seared on the bottom of her heart.

Ye Ziyu will never forget that when she saw Ah Ning later, she held her hands and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but she forced herself to comfort her like a sister, "it looks like a peach blossom. Peach blossom means glory, branded Even if it can't be removed, it will bring Xiao Yu the good luck of a lifetime of prosperity."

Ah Ning didn't know, Ye Ziyu was actually very happy. All along, it was Ah Ning who protected her so that she could live a better life in the palace, but this time, it was her who left the mark to protect Ah Ning , it was the first time she was able to protect Ah Ning...

Later, Ye Ziyu tore the wound on his hand alive with a knife and cut it into the shape of a peach blossom. It was very painful, but more satisfying.That time, let her know——

I, Xiao Ziyu, can also stand up and protect Ah Ning behind me.
