Under the moonlight, Ye Youqing could clearly see that Shili's light-colored pupils, which were different from those from the Central Plains, moved quickly.

"What's going on." Shili soon disappeared with a drunken look, her eyes were shining, and she stared at Ye Youqing under the light.

"Every year when the seedlings bloom at the beginning of summer, the emperor will take a group of concubines and close officials to the palace near the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, Xijing.

"The palace is no better than the imperial palace. It is quiet and no one is around. There are only ancient temples and forests nearby. If someone wants to do harm, it is very convenient." Ye Youqing said seriously.

Shili savored her words, and said leisurely: "But it happens every year, and the concubine Zhou... the imperial concubine never misses. She is smart, and nothing will happen to her."

really.Ye Youqing thought, she lowered her head and rubbed her temples, only feeling that her mind was muddled because of the dream just now.

To put it bluntly, it was just a dream, but when she thought of Ci Ke, she always felt that she couldn't let it go.

Shili also looked at the bright moon, thinking about something, the two of them were silent for a while.

"You went to see Ci Ke today? How was it?" Shili asked.

"It's a little strange." Ye Youqing replied honestly, "She deliberately alienated me, and I was still depressed by it during the day."

Shili nodded clearly, didn't speak again, instead got up and walked out of the courtyard, took two swords, threw one to Ye Youqing, and said loudly: "Since you can't sleep, let's just wake up in the morning to practice, you are now a three-legged cat Skills, but can't beat a few people."

As soon as Ye Youqing reached out to take the sword, she saw a cold light coming from above her head. She hurriedly swung the sword to block it. Soon, the color of the sword mixed with the moonlight in the courtyard was covered with a vast expanse of whiteness.

Thousands of households in Bianjing are sleeping soundly under the moonlight.

In the next few days, Ye Youqing didn't go to see Ci Ke. She was still very busy every day, and she always felt that she didn't have enough time, so she went to Shili every night to practice kung fu, and planned her property during the day.

Pei Ning's speed was very fast, and within a few days, a letter came, saying that he was going all the way south, and had arranged a few shops, so Ye Youqing asked Shili for help, and quickly sent the recipe and further plans.

Shili knocked her a lot of money.

Another good thing is that part of the mansion of King Sirong was finally returned, and because of the death of King Sirong's relatives, he fled, and the property did not know where to go, and was finally sent to Zhao Qingruan and Ye Youqing.

Ye Youqing was also excited all night for this windfall. Although a lot of money has been embezzled by the public, there are still a few villas and fields in remote areas that are worth using.

She couldn't help thanking herself that she was in the Qi Dynasty. Even if a woman gets married, she still has the right to inherit if all her clan relatives are deceased.

Unknowingly, Bianjing has quietly entered summer, the streets are more shady, and there are cicadas singing from time to time, the bright sun is oppressive all day long, and soon it will be as hot as midsummer.

The emperor's annual trip to the palace also arrived as scheduled. The palace had prepared chariots and guards early on, and the imperial guards within three hundred miles cleared the way and cleaned up the official roads, waiting for the emperor to leave.

Although Ye Youqing no longer had that dream, but the closer the day came, the more disturbed she became, and several sheets of paper were wrongly written in the accounts under her hand, so she simply wrote a letter and sent it to the palace, admonishing her Ke may be in danger, so let her find a way to take Zhou Ziqiu to escape to the palace.

In this way, my heart is more at ease.

Today, she was sitting in the study with great enthusiasm, when she heard Qin Xin's hurried steps outside the door, followed by a hasty knock on the door.

"Enter." Ye Youqing wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Miss, someone just came from the palace and said he wanted to see the girl!" Qin Xin looked flustered.

Someone from the palace?Ye Youqing's first reaction was Zhou Ziqiu, but seeing Qin Xin's hand clenched on the corner of his clothes, he knew that the person who came was definitely not an ordinary palace man, so he calmed down and got up to go out.

In the front yard, Ye Youqing saw a rather familiar long face from a long distance. It was the long-faced servant next to the emperor, with a black hat on his head, full of battle, holding a gold-plated post in his hand, looking at the emperor with a smile. she.

Ye Youqing couldn't help but stopped, and became vigilant in his heart.

The emperor is looking for her?Never a good thing.

After pausing for a moment, Ye Youqing continued to walk, walked up to the servant, and nodded slightly: "Master."

"Miss Ye." The waiter with a long face wrinkled his face with a smile, then bent down, and handed the post in his hand to Ye Youqing, "I'm here today to send a letter for the emperor, inviting the girl to go to Luoyang Palace together the next day. "

Ye Youqing looked pale, then hooked his lips, did not accept the post, and said in a gentle voice: "The female minister is only the daughter of a one-time official, how can she be worthy of the invitation of the Holy Majesty?"

"What are you talking about, girl, as long as the Holy Majesty invites you, you will be worthy of it. What's more, the girl is so amazing and beautiful, which girl in the capital can compare?" The long-faced waiter raised his hands in front of her eyes, unmoved .

"Girl, don't insult the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Youqing knew that she had to accept this post, and she had to accept it if she didn't.

"Boss, it's hard work." She took the post with both hands, and motioned for Qin Xin to go up to put something in the waiter's hand, only to feel that the gilded paper in her hand was extremely heavy.

The waiter with a long face took the money, bowed to Ye Youqing, and left.

Ye Youqing cursed in a low voice, opened the post, and browsed the ancient texts on it.She didn't know why she brought herself to the palace where only her close ministers and relatives and concubines could go with her?

But it must not be a good thing, Ye Youqing's face darkened.

"Miss, the Holy Majesty wants you to go to the palace, how do you look at it..." Qin Xin said timidly from the side.

"Weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken." Ye Youqing snorted, turned and walked to the study, saying as he walked, "Go and invite Shili to come, and say that we have something important to discuss."

------

Ye Youqing thought of several ways, but the emperor's will could not be defied, so he had to compromise in the end.

What's more, she still felt a little lucky in her heart, maybe Ci Ke found a way to escape, or maybe if she was there, the things in the dream would not happen.

Two days passed quickly, and on the day of departure, just after dawn, Qin Xin knocked on Ye Youqing's door to wake her up.

"Miss, the chariots and horses sent by the palace are already waiting outside." Qin Xin whispered.

Ye Youqing rubbed his eyes, turned over, put his feet on the ground, took the wet towel from Qin Xin, and patted it on his face.

"You really don't need me to follow?" Qin Xin seemed a little hesitant, and said cautiously.

"Don't worry, it's ten miles away." Ye Youqing said, just as the words fell, the door was pushed open with a bang, and a long leg stepped into the threshold. The pink embroidered shoes on the feet were very eye-catching.

The face of the person who came in was very ordinary, but she was slender, with thin waist and flat shoulders. It was just that her figure, paired with two playful buns and delicate clothes, was a bit weird.

"Ye Youqing." Shili seemed to be grinding his teeth, "Don't forget, I am your master."

Seeing her appearance, Ye Youqing couldn't help laughing, and then forcibly held his breath: "Master, please bear with it, it's only a few days. What's more, a beggar can do it, a mere maid, how can she not pretend? "

Ye Youqing could almost see Shili's white joints, so he hurriedly changed the subject, and while letting Qin Xin change her clothes, he said in amazement: "This face...is it disguised?"

Shili snorted lazily, found a chair and sat down: "Anyway, he is also a descendant of the world's number one bodyguard agency, but a small disguise technique is nothing to worry about."

Ye Youqing nodded, looked at the exquisite and gorgeous dress on her body, shook her head, and raised her hand to take it off.

"Miss, this..." Qin Xin was stunned.

"The simpler the better, I don't want to attract the attention of others." Ye Youqing said indifferently, then rummaged through the cabinet and took out a light blue plain dress.

Shi Li looked at her, and suddenly said, "Xiaoqing, what do you think the emperor did this time?"

Ye Youqing was silent, and after a while, said: "I don't know."

In fact, she had a bad premonition.

Soon after washing and dressing up, the sky was also billowing with a raging morning glow. Ye Youqing wanted to get a change of clothes for ten miles, and the two got on the carriage that came to pick them up.

Staggering, approaching the palace, from a long distance, I saw several chariots with cloud patterns and emerald pearls parked at the door, lined up in a row several feet long, and the emperor's chariots were not among them.

"Miss Ye, you came just in time!" The long-faced waiter appeared out of nowhere, and greeted him with a smile, "The carriages of the Holy Majesty and the ladies are in the palace. You can pick the one that pleases your eyes."

"As for that girl, go to the back, there is a carriage for servants." After the servant finished laughing, he pointed to the end of the carriage.

Shili took a deep look at Ye Youqing, and then walked in small steps.

Ye Youqing exhaled, and was about to walk aside, when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and then, a clear male voice came: "This is Miss Ye from the Duke's Mansion?"

Ye Youqing had never heard this voice before, so he looked back vigilantly. It was a man wearing a jade-white gown, with a gold-inlaid leather belt around his waist, and a jade crown on his head. Judah is almost the same.

"Miss Ye, this is Wei Ya Nei." The long-faced waiter hurriedly said, and then whispered in Ye Youqing's ear, "But the Holy Majesty's nephew!"

Ye Youqing raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words, only then did she understand the emperor's intentions, and her heart shrank slightly.

Since he is a nephew, he is a member of the royal family, and he will not be able to escape from the capital in the future.

It's a good deal.

The curtain of the carriage beside him suddenly opened a crack, revealing an eye with an upturned end, but when Ye Youqing raised his eyes, only the pale yellow curtain remained.

While her eyes were moving, a lot of thoughts had already flowed in her heart, but when the thoughts fell back into her eyes, it was peaceful.

"Wei Ya Nei." Ye Youqing's red lips were drawn into a line.

"I've heard about Miss Ye's name for a long time, and I just saw her today. She really is like a fish and a wild goose, and she's overwhelmed the country." The man's eyes kept looking at Ye Youqing, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"I have to get in the carriage, so as not to delay the time, let me go." Ye Youqing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, turned around and walked to the carriage, but suddenly an arm stretched out in front of her, firmly stopping her in place.

As impatience and anger gradually rose, Ye Youqing's voice became more and more calm: "What does Ya Nei mean?"

"Girl, don't panic, it's just that these carriages are full of people, only mine has room left, and I'm here to invite girls to ride together." Wei Yanei curled up one corner of his mouth, raised his left hand on Ye Youqing's shoulder , making a look similar to hugging without touching.

The man's smell approached his nostrils, Ye Youqing frowned, and subconsciously clenched his fists, but suddenly he heard a soft and pleasant female voice behind him, and the woman in a light yellow dress stepped out of the car slowly.

"There is no need to be crowded in the Wei Yamen. There is still room for one person in my carriage, so men and women should not be in the same carriage, which is against the rules."

Ye Youqing turned around suddenly, facing Shang Ci Ke's smiling fox eyes.

It's just that those eyes didn't look at her.

"You are..." Wei Yanei's smile froze on his face, and he couldn't help looking at the long-faced waiter, as if winking at him.

"Here, Miss Ci Ke, your carriage is small, it can't fit two people..."

"That's okay, just ask Wei Yanei to sit in this car alone." Ci Ke said softly, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the empty carriage.

The two looked at each other, Ye Youqing had already walked around the man's arm and followed with strides.

The man outside the carriage was angrily talking to the waiter, and his eyes would glance here from time to time. Ye Youqing took a look, then lowered the curtain, not seeing it clearly.

She turned sideways, and was about to thank Ci Ke, but saw Ci Ke looking at the other side of the car window, leaning against the car window, leaving an arm's length between the two of them.

"Thank you, it's just me, so scary?" Ye Youqing frowned.

It was only then that Ci Ke stepped back as if he had just discovered it, and the distance between the two of them was still far away.

Ye Youqing was helpless, sighed, and asked, "Have you never received my letter to you? This trip is dangerous, and you should find a way to avoid it."

"My aunt made excuses to pretend to be sick, but the emperor didn't let go for some reason. My aunt really had no choice but to compromise." Ci Ke said softly, "I was worried about my aunt, so I followed."

She looked up at Ye Youqing, but only for a moment, then immediately lowered her head.

She was still very worried and panicked before, but after seeing Ye Youqing's face, most of the panic disappeared suddenly.

Ci Ke squeezed his palm tightly.

The chariot wobbled and started to move forward. A hand stretched out, and the slender fingertips pushed away her index finger that had made a mark on her palm.

"If you pinch again, you will bleed." Ye Youqing shook his head and said.

Pedestrians on the road saw the royal chariot and gave way to a wide road. It didn't take long before the mighty team left the capital and drove on the official road. The summer seedlings have just emerged, as if there are light green clouds floating on the ground.

The carriage was running smoothly. In the carriage, one of the two looked at the wheat field and the other looked at the woods. There was no sound.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the car body suddenly began to tremble violently, bumping and swaying as if driving on rocky rocks, and the horse in front neighed, it must have been frightened, and it plunged headlong into the wheat field below the official road.

This car has been tampered with!This thought flashed through Ye Youqing's mind, and he hurriedly supported the seat to resist the sudden up and down vibration after he plunged into the wheat field.

Under such tail-flicking tremors, Ci Ke's body flew out towards the car door uncontrollably, only to hear the woman scream, Ye Youqing hurriedly stretched out his arms, held her five fingers firmly, and pulled her back forcefully seat.

"Stay still." Ye Youqing said in a low voice, then stood up while leaning on the wall of the car, trying to grab the horse's rein.

Unexpectedly, a royal guard descended from the sky at this time, and landed firmly on the beam of the carriage. The beam on one side of the carriage could not bear his weight, and then it broke with a click, and the body circled into a semicircle, heading towards Ci Ke's side fiercely. Tail wagging.

So Ye Youqing watched helplessly as he flew backwards due to inertia, and finally...

Sitting on Ci Ke's lap.
