Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 25
Ye Juelu lowered his head and admitted, "Yes, I'm guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor pointed at him with trembling fingers angrily. Of course, it is impossible to kill the youthful friendship that has supported each other for so many years, but he couldn't scold him too much, "You bastard!"

Ye Juelu lowered his head even lower, and his voice was sonorous and forceful, "I must complete the entrustment within three years, and protect the country and the country for the emperor. I implore the emperor to let me return to my hometown after three years."

"Retire old age, where do you go if you want to return to your hometown!"

"Go back to my wife, wherever she goes, the minister will be there."

The emperor sneered, "At the beginning you insisted on keeping her for your mother. I agreed, and I approved your marriage. I have also heard about what kind of person your wife is. You will be a fool as soon as I ascend the throne." Are you blind? Now that old thief Ming’s granddaughter went to the frontier, didn’t she torture you to death, and didn’t she torture herself to death? Or did you have another wife?”

Ye Juelu raised his head to look at the emperor, grinned, his stern face was full of pride and embarrassment, "Back to the emperor, my wife has been reborn from nirvana, completely reborn."

Ye Juelu's smile was too happy, too bright, the emperor looked very displeased, he was begging for perfection in the harem, but Ye Juelu was living a sweet life, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"Ming's granddaughter, what a good thing!"

Ye Juelu smiled even happier, "Back to the emperor, she is no longer facing the Ming family, she is her, and she is not facing anyone, she has her own rules of justice in her heart."

The emperor gave him a strange sideways look, "The nature of the country can't be changed easily, I don't believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes."

After finishing speaking, the emperor picked up a ball of paper on the table and opened it in front of him. Ye Juelu panicked and wanted to raise his hand to stop it, "Hold on, Your Majesty!"

The emperor frowned, and unfolded the ball of paper with a shake of his hand, "Bold, don't let me read anything you write that is outrageous and outrageous!"

"minister……"

After the emperor saw those words clearly, he was stunned. He looked at Ye Juelu as if he had seen a ghost. The old thief Ming gave him less stimulation than Ye Juelu.

Ye Juelu was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at him, and said submissively: "I...just writing a letter from home..."

The emperor didn't believe in evil, and he opened several paper balls in a row, all of which made him unbelievable, "Thousands of misses? I miss you in the morning, and miss you in the evening? How can you be safe? Ye Juelu, you have been taken away!" !"

"Chen—I'm in love with her, and I'm just writing a letter from home." Ye Juelu blushed from embarrassment, and got up angrily, regardless of the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers.

The emperor didn't care about his faux pas, but just threw the ball of paper on him in disgust, "You're so sour, what's the point, I didn't expect you to be such a person!"

Ye Juelu glared at him, "Then how did the emperor write the family letter?"

The emperor rolled his eyes at him, "According to what you are like, it is better to write more frankly and straightforwardly. It is much more beautiful than this sour character."

"The minister has been educated. If the emperor is fine, please return to the palace as soon as possible."

The emperor saw that he was really interested in the granddaughter of the old thief Ming, and his mood was complicated, but he still had to say what should be said, and told Ye Juelu what happened recently with his legs crossed.

"These days after the concubine of the Ming family became Princess Heng, she frequently got close to the mistresses of some aristocratic families in Beijing, but the Ming family did not make any big moves. A few days ago, Prince Heng brought Yingying Yanyan with her, Going out of Beijing in a mighty way."

"The sea is always calm on the eve of a storm." Ye Juelu cleaned up the paper balls all over the floor, and said in a deep voice, "The Ming family is planning something. Prince Heng has lived in seclusion for so many years. There must be something wrong with going out of Beijing this time."

"If it hadn't been for the sudden rise of my father, he would be sitting in this position now." The emperor stretched out his hand to pinch the pastry on the table, and his eyes showed awe-inspiring murderous intent, "The frontier fortress is beyond the jurisdiction of my imperial guards." How many people are hidden in this desolate and vast frontier...My good uncle, don't let me down."

"If he is in power, he will definitely kill his brothers and heirs." When Ye Juelu heard that he was going to the frontier fortress, his heart tightened. "The emperor suspects that Prince Heng's private soldiers are hiding in the frontier fortress? But I have been in the frontier fortress for so many years..."

The emperor glanced at him, "Where will I pass on the way to the frontier, do you want me to tell you?"

Ye Juelu was taken aback, "...passing through Prince Heng's fiefdom, Yongzhou, Yongzhou City is not far from the frontier fortress."

The emperor smiled coldly, "Then guess why the emperor uncle said to go to the frontier fortress?"

Ye Juelu lowered his face, "Catch the golden eagle, build momentum, and raise troops."

The emperor patted the pastry on his hand, "Your soldiers in the frontier village can send orders to go down and toss, and find out the power of Yongzhou City."

"Yes."

"However, I'm still angry, you should be locked up for two days."

Ye Juelu silently watched a plate of pastries being crushed into crumbs by the emperor, "...Yes."

Before the emperor left, he was suddenly curious about how Ye Juelu, a man of steelmaking, could become a soft-witted person, "I know you miss your family, so I will call all your family members into the palace for you, and I want to meet the old thief Ming." What kind of granddaughter can be reborn."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ye Juelu hadn't seen Ming Lanying for several months. He didn't know if Ming Lanying wanted it, but he had a weird idea. If Prince Heng really had a private army in Yongzhou City, there would inevitably be a meeting between Sai and Yongzhou City. There is a chaotic battle, Ming Lanying and the others may be implicated at that time, it is better to bring them with you.

After the emperor went down the next day, Defu, the chief eunuch beside him, came to report, and Song Shanshan begged to see him outside the palace.

"Who is Song Shanshan?"

Defu smiled helplessly, "The person who wrote the poem on Suidan, you named the leader, Song Shanshan, the daughter of the former Song family."

The emperor remembered after being reminded, frowned and waved his hands impatiently, "What did she come to see me for? I also exiled the Song family. She is the daughter of a criminal minister, so I can't see you."

Defu bowed quickly, "I'm pleading for Ye Sinner in the prison."

The emperor's interest came when he said this. It's a big face for a criminal minister's daughter to intercede for another criminal minister, "Biography."

"Yes."

Song Shanshan was dressed in a plain bluish-white flowing fairy dress, and saluted leisurely and gracefully, with a graceful demeanor, which made the emperor a little familiar.

"Look up and let me see."

Song Shanshan raised her head slowly, looked at the floor with lowered eyebrows respectfully, she looked weak and strong, the look of her eyebrows was familiar to the emperor, but she was not as cheerful as the lady in her impression.

"What else do you need to see me?"

"The pariah begs the emperor to forgive Ye Juelu, he has absolutely no intention of offending the emperor!"

"Oh? How do you know he didn't mean that? What's your relationship with him?"

Song Shanshan showed a shy face, but said calmly and frankly: "The untouchable... I have admired him for a long time, he is a hero to the untouchables, and the untouchables believe that he is not such a person! Please forgive him!"

The emperor chuckled disdainfully, and Song Shanshan thought it was an auditory hallucination, "Does Ye Juelu know that you are pleading for him? How did he treat you?"

Song Shanshan was shy, but said firmly: "I am not married, but he is married. Although we are destined to have nothing to do with each other, I can't bear to make things difficult for him. Being able to do these things for him is my pleasure. As long as I see him doing well, the untouchables will be satisfied." gone."

The emperor changed his sitting position lazily, and looked down at Song Shanshan who was kneeling on the cold floor tiles, "You mean to blame me for giving them a marriage and ruining your fate?"

"The untouchables don't dare to think like that!" Song Shanshan kept kneeling, and now it is convenient for her to kowtow, "The emperor gave Ye Juelu a marriage, and the untouchables should also kowtow to the emperor for his grace! As for the feelings of the untouchables, it doesn't matter."

"Really?" The emperor looked down at Song Shanshan who was crawling on the ground indifferently. Her slender and graceful figure was outlined in her plain flowing fairy dress. Her lowered body trembled slightly, like a wounded green moth. It's a pity that he Not interested in her, Ye Jue Lv is not interested in her either.

"I also want to forgive him, but he refuses to bow his head and admit his mistake. It is also very difficult for me. Since you are so affectionate to him, I will let you persuade him and let him say something nice to satisfy me. .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor smiled nastyly, it would be nice to add some embarrassment to Ye Juelu.

Song Shanshan hurriedly went to the prison with her skirt in her hand. Ye Juelu must know about her contribution. If others mention this matter in the future, she will be the first to think of praise, otherwise her contribution will be meaningless.

After Song Shanshan left, the emperor finally couldn't help laughing, "She's much worse than her mother, she doesn't look like her at all, Defu, go and watch, I want to know Ye Juelu's reaction."

"Yes." Defu smiled helplessly. He has been serving the emperor since he was a child. He has seen a lot of women like Song Shanshan. She looks like she has given everything for love, but she can't wait for the whole world to sing her praises.

Song Shanshan hurried to the prison to meet Ye Juelu. At that time, Ye Juelu had just finished writing a satisfactory letter to the family as requested by the emperor, when he was interrupted by "Brother Ye".

"Why are you here?"

Song Shanshan looked at him through the railing with tears in her eyes, "Brother Ye, I made you suffer..."

Ye Juelu looked around the fully furnished cell, Song Shanshan's tears choked up in her throat, but she still managed to finish speaking, "Brother Ye, you don't have to hold on, I know you are not used to being here. , I have always been very worried about you, I know it wasn't your fault that you didn't come to Beijing with me back then, I don't blame you, you are not used to frontier fortresses, so I worked hard to win the emperor's favor, and immediately begged the emperor..."

Ye Juelu has long lost his previous patience with her. Her tears and feelings made him feel like a drag. After he realized that he liked Ming Lanying, he felt that Song Shanshan was a stumbling block in his pursuit of his wife, a bit obstructive and annoying .

"I have a good life here. If it weren't for you, I could have a better life with my wife at home."

Song Shanshan was at a loss for words, Telford, who was eavesdropping in the dark, was stunned, trying to hold back her laughter.

After a long while, Song Shanshan regained her emotions, "Brother Ye, do you have any misunderstandings about me, my love for you has always been—"

"That's enough. I have clearly rejected you a long time ago, and I don't need you to do anything for me. We have nothing to do with each other. I already have a family. I love my wife very much. I can't tolerate other things in my heart." Man, please go back."

Song Shanshan couldn't hold back her face, covered her face and ran away crying. Defu went back and taught the emperor everything, and the emperor laughed out loud.

"Ye Juelu, Ye Juelu, it has to be you."

Telford eavesdropped in the dark and was embarrassed for Song Shanshan. Sure enough, he was not old-eyed yet, and he knew what kind of woman Song Shanshan was at a glance.

The emperor waved his hand and asked him to go down to deliver the decree, "Let Ye Juelu's family members come to Beijing to face the saint, I want to see you."

"Yes."

When the news of Ye Juelu came back to the frontier, it was already seven days later, Ming Lanying was relieved to hear the news, and called back the little insects who disturbed Prince Heng's convoy, and He Bai also heard that Ye Juelu was fine , and then returned to the heartless state.

Ming Lanying rolled her eyes, "Don't be too happy, Prince Heng is coming here to catch the golden eagle."

He Bai supported the little wolf cub to feed him goat milk and meat soup bit by bit, and muttered nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, they won't be able to catch that stinky bird, and Prince Heng is delicate and expensive, so turn around and call Two poisonous spiders and poisonous scorpions, go and bite him, let him die straight away, once and for all!"

Ming Lanying frowned and looked at the low sky outside the window anxiously, "If only it could be that simple, Prince Heng died in the frontier fortress, and everyone in the fortress there will be implicated, and we won't be able to escape by then, why does he insist on gold?" carved?"

"Isn't he sick? Use it as medicine to save yourself?"

Ming Lanying pinched the little wolf cub's soft ears, but was dodged by the little wolf cub shaking his head and licking his fingers, "If the golden eagle had this effect, Zhao would have gone to catch it a long time ago, and what kind of snow lotus will I find for you?" , that is an ordinary big bird, I am afraid that his purpose of catching the golden eagle is not simple."

He Bai hates people who use their brains the most, and shook his head irritably, "Whatever he wants to do, if he dares to trouble you, I'll cut him off!"

Ming Lanying said casually: "What is he bothering me for?"

"I really have trouble finding you."

With the familiar voice of a fox, Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, and He Bai quickly hugged the little wolf cub to protect Ming Lanying. She still repulsed people like Ming Langtao very much.

Ming Langtao pushed the door openly and came in confidently, saw the wolf cub in He Bai's arms, thought it was a puppy, and joked: "Miss You likes this kind of puppy? Brother, can I have some sent over some other day?"

Ming Lanying pulled He Bai to sit down, blocked half of He Bai's body, and glared at Ming Langtao, an old man who loves to flirt, "Thank you Liutang brother, but the family doesn't have so much food to feed, so let's forget it. What did Brother Liu mean by what he said just now?"

"Of course it means literally, Sister Lanying, you are going to be in trouble!"

Ming Langtao didn't care about being stared at, and teased the little wolf cub with a folding fan and a smile. After spring, he wandered around with a folding fan. He went around the area under his jurisdiction and checked many problems. In the end, Meng Huaisu was left to solve it alone, and continued to attract bees and butterflies by himself.

Ming Lanying squinted at him, the trouble obviously started from a serious point, "Who is it?"

"Princess Heng."

Ming Lanying was taken aback, "Ming Lishu?"

"Yeah, the third sister is coming. Strange to say, the news of Ye Juelu's detention just came, and Prince Heng's convoy arrived near the frontier fortress, when they were inexplicably surrounded by a bunch of bugs, all kinds of bugs flying during the day Interfering with their sight, those soft and hard ones with four legs and eight legs climbed onto their carriages and people at night, the convoy was delayed for several days because of this, and several guards were bitten to death."

Ming Langtao smiled and teased the little wolf cub, but was bitten instead. The little wolf cub's teeth haven't fully grown yet, and the bite is at most a mark, so he wiped his saliva casually, "But those bugs seem to have received some order today , retreated like the tide, Prince Heng hurriedly set out on the road again after rectifying for a while, at their current speed, they will arrive within half a month."

Ming Lanying was a little surprised, "Is he in such a hurry?"

Ming Langtao shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows? But the third sister came here for you this time. Before she arrived, she sent a fast horse to inquire about you. I fooled it all, but wait When people arrive, I can’t do anything.”

"Okay, I see."

Ming Langtao wanted to stay for a meal, but Ming Lanying pushed him out and sent him away.When Ning'er came back from Doctor Zhao during lunch, Ming Lanying told him not to run around in the past two days with a serious face.

"There will be a bad aunt coming in a few days. Mother will deal with her. You have to stay with Dr. Zhao, understand? Wait for mother to pick you up."

Ning'er nodded with tears in her eyes, but it's okay to be next door, he can't hold back his mother.

Ming Lanying gave him the little wolf cub too, and taking care of him could relieve the boredom, "Don't be afraid, Aunt Hebai will come to see you every day, and it will be fine when mother gets rid of that bad aunt."

"En!" Ning'er nodded vigorously while hugging the little wolf cub.

The two little squirrels were kept by Ming Lanying as her eyeliner, sentry at the entrance of the village, and stared at strangers.Sure enough, within two days of sending Ning'er away, there were people in official uniforms riding horses in the village to inquire about her residence. Her little eyeliner was everywhere in the village, and Ming Lanying also knew that she would inquire about her again for seven or eight days in a row .

Sure enough, in less than half a month, Ming Lishu came to the door in a high-profile way. Ming Lanying had already received the news from the eyeliner, and she was sitting in the yard drinking tea and feeding the chickens neatly dressed.

Ming Langtao guessed that the people will arrive in the past few days, and has been waiting in the house that Meng Huaisu bought in the village. When he heard the news that Ming Lishu had arrived at the entrance of the village, he hurried over, fearing that Ming Lanying would be bullied, so when Ye Juelu came back It is that he has been peeled off.

"My aunt, why do you still have the leisure and elegance to feed the chickens here! Everyone is about to kill them!"

Ming Lanying propped her chin and cast a lazy sideways glance at him, "What's the hurry, where can I go? She hasn't eaten me yet?"

"You can't play with her since you were a child—"

"Yo, Brother Liu is here~ Long time no see, what are you talking about? Third sister also wants to hear."

Ming Langtao paused, and quickly raised a friendly smile, shaking the folding fan coquettishly, "The third sister has been seeing her for a long time, and she is more and more beautiful. How can my cousin say anything, but I just knew the news of the third sister's arrival in advance. Just let me know, lest she impolitely offend your delicate and expensive identity."

Ming Lishu said with a coquettish smile, "Sixth cousin is still sweet."

Ming Lanying raised her eyes when she heard the sound, she was almost blinded by the dazzling colors and jewelry.

Ming Lishu is not tall, but she will show a little care in her outfits. This time, she saw that Ming Lanying was full of strength and strength. She was wearing a camellia-colored fox fur cloak with dark patterns, and a maroon high-waisted pleated cloak. The skirt is embroidered with the pattern of flying nine pieces of gold silk, the shawl is a two-color superimposed flower pattern of red and gold yarn, and the belt is all soft gold silk inlaid with jade, not to mention a small ring of jingling jade pendants. sac, wearing a full set of ruby ​​head mask.

Coupled with exquisite makeup, she was dressed in a glamorous and rich manner, proudly raised her chin, gracefully stretched her fair neck, and the lines of her slightly squinted eyes were stretched slender, and her bright red lips made her soft and beautiful. Be strong.

Looking at her face, Ming Lanying felt that it was not easy for her younger sister to be the first among the heirs of the Ming family, "Prince Heng and Concubine Heng come to the humble house, and I am disappointed to welcome you."

Ming Lishu raised her eyebrows and looked up and down, her eyes widened in disbelief, "You are Ming Lanying?"

Ming Lanying has been with Ming Langtao for so long, and she has acquired a smiley look that she needs to be beaten, "It's been a long time since the third sister became a prince and concubine, so why doesn't she recognize me as a direct sister?"

Ming Lishu tensed her face, and stared viciously at Ming Lanying's beautiful face and exquisite figure, "Impossible, you are not Ming Lanying, who are you!"
