The carriage was still trembling, but there was deathly silence inside the carriage. Ye Youqing could feel Ci Ke's soft body tightened like a wooden sculpture, but she herself was not much better.

Depend on.

Ye Youqing, who has always described himself as elegant, cursed in a low voice.

The time was not long, but Ye Youqing felt as if a century had passed, his warm hands gently held her shoulders, and Ci Ke's voice came from behind: "You..."

Ye Youqing blushed immediately, she coughed, and pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay." Then she supported the roof of the car and got up quickly as if she was being burned.

The guard had pulled the reins just now, but the horse seemed to be frightened. Even though it was strangled by the bit, it was still jumping and struggling. The wheels wobbled from side to side, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment.

The speed of the carriage was very fast, seeing the high bulge in front of it, and the pile of straw left over from last year, Ye Youqing made a decisive decision and stretched out his hand to Ci Ke.

"Come on," she said.

Ci Ke hesitated for a moment, but still followed what she said, and put his palm into Ye Youqing's palm. Ye Youqing pulled him out of the car door, and the moment he was about to hit the straw pile, he shouted: "Jump!"

At the same time, Ye Youqing heard the rumbling sound of the car body falling apart, and instantly smoke and dust rose up, and the accumulated dust mixed with straw debris overwhelmingly engulfed the two of them.

Ye Youqing subconsciously hugged the woman in his arms tightly, and at the same time felt the hug of the slender arm. The owner of the arm was frightened and did not control his strength, almost sticking to Ye Youqing's chest.

Everything about a woman is soft, heavy and warm.

The two of them fell to the ground as Ye Youqing expected, with the thorny but not so hard stack of straw under them, they rolled around twice and then stopped in the dust.

The breathing was choking, dust and falling straw covered the bodies of the two of them, Ci Ke landed firmly on Ye Youqing's body, her shoulders and waist were held tightly by her equally soft but powerful hands.

The woman's fair face was covered with gray, and she was no longer so beautiful, but the charm of her eyes remained undiminished, as if something was flowing at this moment.

She sighed suddenly, and pressed her face against the woman's chest again, as if she was feeling such a hug.

"You two girls!" At this moment, several guards rushed over, looking at this scene, they were stunned for a while, and none of them dared to reach out to help.

Ye Youqing turned his head and spit out the blade of grass that got into his mouth at some point. Then he propped himself up on the ground and got up slowly. The woman who was holding her tightly in his arms just now suddenly let go of his hand and struggled to the side. up.

Ye Youqing withdrew his instantly empty arm and looked up, only to see that the carriage could no longer see its original appearance, only some wheels and seats were scattered not far away, and the frightened horse was walking happily Raising all four hooves, he ran away into the distance.

"Is there something wrong with the two girls?" A guard stepped forward and asked in panic.

"It's nothing." Ye Youqing wiped the ashes from her face and stood up, wanting to pull Cike, but found that she had already stood up and slapped the dust on her body.

When the two walked back to the official road, they looked quite devastated. Fortunately, there was no external injury, but the clothes were dirty and messy, especially Ci Ke, whose light-colored dress was completely ruined.

Zhou Ziqiu was waiting anxiously by the side of the road. Seeing that Ci Ke was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. He called the servant girl to put a coat on her body and put her arms around her shoulders. Look how frightened the two girls are!"

Although she was a beauty, she looked majestic with her raised eyebrows and straight eyes. Several guards looked at each other in fear, not knowing how to answer, so they all knelt down and were about to say something, but were interrupted by another female voice.

"The horse is not human, it's just frightened, why does the imperial concubine need to be so angry?"

When Zhou Ziqiu heard the words, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around slowly, only to see no one at the place where the voice came out, and after a while, he stretched out a jade white hand from the dragon chariot.

Afterwards, there was a gorgeous dress with pearls hanging on it, and the golden silk thread was twisted into the shape of a bird. The voice continued: "I see that the two girls are not injured, so don't be difficult for the guards, so as not to delay the trip of the Holy Majesty."

It was only when the voice fell that his face was revealed. It was far inferior to Zhou Ziqiu's appearance, but all the accessories were first-class and exquisite. Just looking at the transparency of the emerald on his forehead, one could tell that it was expensive.

Feelings of familiarity and rejection flooded in, Ye Youqing couldn't help taking a step closer secretly, and looked carefully.

The woman's face overlapped with the domineering girl in memory. Isn't this the one who took the lead in bullying Ci Ke in the past, the one surnamed Yan?

Now that she has entered the palace as a concubine, seeing her sitting in the emperor's dragon chariot, one knows she must be extremely favored.

Ye Youqing immediately looked at Ci Ke, and found that Ci Ke's eyes turned cold.

"Why did Yan Jieyu say that? It's their fault. Today, the horses of the two girls are shocked. Tomorrow, they can damage the carriage of the Holy Majesty. If they are not punished, they will just watch? How can the royal majesty be placed like this?" land." Zhou Ziqiu smiled, curling the corners of his lips.

"Okay, if you find out who is in charge of the horses, you will be dismissed." The emperor's impatient voice came from the carriage, "Check the remaining horses and horses, and set off as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The long-faced waiter outside the car bent over and ran away in a hurry.

That Yan Jieyu looked Zhou Ziqiu up and down, and then turned her eyes to Ci Ke, her eyes were very unpleasant, she covered her lips and smiled: "Since the Majesty said so, I must listen to the Majesty."

She stared at Ci Ke for a while, then turned and got into the car.

Ye Youqing looked at Ci Ke's back and was a little worried. It must be very hard to see the people who bullied him in the past without punishment in front of him and still provoke him.

But Ci Ke didn't look back at her.

"Miss Ye, thank you." On the contrary, Zhou Ziqiu said to Ye Youqing, hesitant to speak, and finally took Ci Ke into her carriage.

"Miss Ye!" That Wei Yanei suddenly poked his head out and waved to Ye Youqing with a smile on his face.

Ye Youqing didn't bother to take a look, turned around and walked to the end of the convoy, opened the curtain, got into the carriage of the maidservants, saw her from Shili, moved to one side, and left an empty seat for her.

After busy checking outside, he continued to move forward, fearing that he would not be able to reach Luoyang before nightfall, so his speed increased a lot, and the trees and grass outside the window continued to fly behind him.

After Ye Youqing came up, the other maidservants exchanged wild winks, and finally, taking a break, they all squeezed into another carriage, leaving only Ye Youqing in the carriage.

"Did you see her?" Ye Youqing asked in a low voice.

Shili didn't speak, but nodded, leaning her head against the window, the curtain was lifted by the wind from time to time, exposing her light-colored pupils to the sun, and then covered by shadows.

Ye Youqing really couldn't understand that kind of emotion.

"Do you want to see me?" Ye Youqing said.

"Can ants shake a tree?" Shi Li said, "Every piss of a bird is poured into the universe. It's better to just listen to the news from afar."

Ye Youqing looked at her, his heart was full of words but he couldn't speak them out.

Shili must still like Zhou Ziqiu, Ye Youqing thought, otherwise she wouldn't have been a beggar in the capital for seven years, relying on her ability to wander around the world, at least she could have a meal.

"If there are too many ants, it will naturally shake the tree, not to mention that ants will not remain ants forever." Ye Youqing said softly.

"Xiao Qing, I don't know what you are planning, but I can tell that you are not willing to do this." Shi Li straightened up and sighed, "I just heard from those maidservants that the emperor brought you and that Wei Ya Nei, It should be an intentional matchmaking to facilitate the marriage in the future."

"May your wish come true, don't follow my old path." Shili patted Ye Youqing on the shoulder.

Ye Youqing nodded and snorted: "That man is not a good person. If I guessed correctly, he was the one who lost control of the car just now."

The royal carriage would not be so fragile if no one had done it. Wei Yanei must have thought that the two of them in the same carriage would be able to save the beauty by a hero, who would have expected Ci Ke to get in the way.

insidious.Ye Youqing frowned and thought.

The car drove all the way, and finally rushed to the outside of Luoyang City before the sun set. When I saw the palace next to the White Horse Temple all the way into the mountain, the surrounding mountains and forests were already dark, leaving only the shadows of trees.

Although the palace is not as good as the imperial palace, it is also decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. There are row upon row of houses, and lanterns are lit everywhere in the night, and they are tidied up for the emperor to come.

The bell in the ancient temple on the mountain rang, resounding through the mountains, and the echoes collided between the sky and the earth, startling the birds in the mountains.

The emperor had gone to rest in the highest palace surrounded by the crowd, Ye Youqing and Shili followed the old palace people to the side hall where she was placed, listening to the howling of wild animals all the way.

This place is too dangerous, Ye Youqing frowned and thought, although there are royal elites all around, Luoyang City, the second largest city under the mountain forest, is enough to guarantee the safety of the palace, but if someone leaves this palace alone, it is conceivable that they will meet What.

She thought of that dream again and felt a headache for a while.

Fortunately, everyone was tired that night, and the emperor didn't approve the official documents, so they went to bed early. The long night was long but nothing happened. Although Ye Youqing didn't rest well, he still had a good sleep.

The next day, Ye Youqing was woken up by birdsong that was several times louder than Bianjing. She opened her eyes and turned over, only to see that it was only dawn outside, and the hazy sky could only illuminate the shadows of flowers outside the window.

And Shili on the couch beside him woke up early, and was looking out the window with his eyes open.

Ye Youqing yawned, got up, changed clothes and washed, tossed and tossed for a while while getting dressed, without a violin heart, the efficiency was greatly reduced.

There was a knock on the door, and Ye Youqing took a look.

Shili clicked his tongue, and the lazy look just now disappeared, bending her slender shoulders, drooping her embroidered shoes, and went to open the door in small steps.

Outside the door was the old palace man from yesterday, who lowered his head and said: "Miss Ye, there is a morning banquet in the garden, and the girl is invited to have dinner. After the meal, there will be a carriage to take you up the mountain, and the people who accompanied the saint to the palace, You have to go to the White Horse Temple to offer incense every day."

"Are you going to burn incense every day?" Ye Youqing asked.

"Yes, this is the rule." The old palace man replied.

"Understood, thank you." Ye Youqing said, turning around and exchanging glances with Shili.

If someone wants to attack someone, the road is the best time to do it, surrounded by barren mountains and wild forests.

But if nothing else, the air in the palace is very good, full of the smell of soil in the mountains and forests, the hot wind in early summer is filtered by layers of green shade, and it turns into a touch of coolness.

Ye Youqing looked at the tidy but quite wild garden all the way, and walked outside the garden that the palace people said, there was a small pool beside it, with a few red carps swimming in the pool, and a stone bridge on the pool, and the fence on the bridge deck was set up for beauty extremely low.

"Xiao Qing, isn't that Ci Ke?" Shili suddenly pulled Ye Youqing back, and pointed to the shade of trees beside the pool, "The person opposite her is Yan Jieyu, who you said once bullied her?"

"Where?" Ye Youqing suddenly raised his eyes.

Sure enough, there were two women standing by the pool, one of them was dressed in brocade clothes, more expensive than the imperial concubine, a mere outer shirt, sewn with gold, silver and jewels, and hairpins of various colors were stacked on top of her head, forming a hill It seemed that it made people feel heavy for her.

The other one is Ci Ke, she is talking about something, surrounded by several maidservants, it seems very dangerous.

"Come on." Ye Youqing didn't even think about it, he just felt his heart rise to his throat in an instant, and walked around the bridge in front of him in a few steps.

As they got closer, they could hear their words.

I saw Yan Jieyu was holding her neck up, looking at Ci Ke from below her eyes, and said angrily: "The guard said, you are the only one who passed the garden at night, and if you don't hand over your things, you won't be toasted and punished!"

"How did Yan Jieyu identify me?" Ci Ke's voice was smooth, and her rosy lips were slightly hooked.

"As expected of a scumbag like Zhou Ziqiu, who only knows how to steal. Zhou Cike, have you forgotten how you used to kneel in front of me to polish your shoes, and now you don't know how high you are?"

"I dare not forget Ci Ke forever." Ci Ke smiled, a cold light flashed in his eyes for a moment, and then softened, "But Jieyu has no evidence, and she can't pollute people's innocence for no reason."

"Innocent?" Yan Jieyu seemed to be dizzy with anger, and was about to say something, but another light voice came from behind, interrupting her remaining words.

"Ci Ke." Ye Youqing said, and then walked slowly, between the two of them.

She was slender and had cold eyes. Standing there, the maidservants couldn't help but retreat.

Ci Ke's eyes widened slightly.

"Ye Youqing?" Yan Jieyu whispered while pinching the handkerchief in her hand.

"The courtier has seen Yan Jieyu." Ye Youqing said with a smile.

That Yan Jieyu seemed unwilling to be heard by others, she ignored Ye Youqing, then gave Ci Ke a hard look, walked away, and left with her maidservant.

Ye Youqing mumbled and turned around, looking at Ci Ke: "Why did she wrong you?"

"You just trust me now." Ci Ke said suddenly, fluttering his eyelashes.

Ye Youqing met her eyes and was speechless for a moment, only humming slightly.

"But I did take the things." Ci Ke lowered his eyes, raised his eyes again, gently grabbed Ye Youqing's clothes, and said softly, "You shouldn't believe me."
