Chapter 417 Peach Blossom Cake

Seeing that Ye Lingxi was covering her ears and looking uncomfortable, He He quickly ran over and asked, "What's wrong with the princess? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call the imperial doctor right now." He He turned around to leave, but was pulled by Ye Lingxi. When she raised her head, she caught a glimpse of a figure passing by the door. When she hurried over, the person was gone. He He saw a package of something on the ground, like pastries. After picking it up and showing it to Ye Lingxi, she opened the wrapping paper and a sweet smell of pastries came out. She looked outside again, but there was nothing there. Find the other person's figure.

The peach blossom cake was wrapped in oil paper. The imperial kitchen did not make such cakes and bought them from outside the palace.

She knew who sent it, but she wondered why he didn't show up. He also stood at the door before and didn't go in. Was it because he didn't know what to say to her or was he too busy?

"Let me see what delicious food the princess has in her hand." Ling Dang ran over with colorful flowers in her arms, including pink peach blossoms, snow-white pear blossoms, gorgeous peonies, elegant lilacs, and bright red camellias. There is also a beautiful and fragrant peony flower, as if all the flowers in the imperial garden have been picked.

Hehe asked her to put flowers in the room first, while Lingdang stared at the cakes and couldn't move her feet. Ye Lingxi asked Lingdang if she saw anyone when she came here just now. Lingdang shook her head and kept staring at the cakes, asking who sent them. Hehe took her to put flowers and told Lingdang to pick less flowers in the future. When people see it, it’s time to gossip again.

As soon as the flowers were placed on the table, Bell ran out and He He couldn't stop her. After Ling Dang ran out, she saw no one at the door. She searched around the yard again, but found no one. She ran into the house and told He He that the princess was missing. The two of them went out to look for someone, but found no one. I feel like the person should have gone out. Lingdang said, "Princess must have secretly hidden away to eat delicious food." Hehe said, "Princess has been bored these days, so it would be good to go out and relax."

……

The ginkgo tree has changed into tender green leaves. The sun shines on it, and the color becomes more transparent and soft, reflecting a light green shade.

Ye Lingxi stood not far away and looked at the leaves swaying slightly in the wind, like small fans. When she came over, she was expecting to see her figure, but there was no one under the tree, so she inevitably felt a little disappointed. However, I also know that the other party must have a lot of things to do and doesn’t have time to come over.

She walked slowly to the tree, raised her head, closed her eyes, and felt the sunlight filtering through the leaves swaying slightly between her eyebrows. After a while, she opened her eyes, sat down under the tree, opened the hand and held it. I picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and took a bite.

The sweet aroma of the cakes smelled particularly good. She suddenly felt hungry, as if she had awakened the glutton that had been sleeping for so many days. She ate one bite after another, almost choking, and coughed twice. A figure appeared. He walked over quickly, knelt down and patted her on the back gently. She raised her head and met those clear and deep eyes like cold stars.

Neither of them spoke, and time seemed to have stopped. Yan Fei suddenly stood up and asked her to get some water. Before he could even take a step forward, she stretched out his hand to grab him. He turned around and faced the pair of people who looked a little aggrieved and a little embarrassed. He was so helpless that his eyes were about to burst with water, as if he was being held by a pigtail, and he couldn't move his feet.

She asked him to sit down, and Yanfei sat down next to her. The next moment she rested her head on his shoulder. His heart skipped a beat and he involuntarily tensed up his body. He sat upright, like a sculpture.

The leaves swayed gently above their heads, making a rustling sound, and mottled light spots sprinkled on their clothes, like a starry tree swaying...

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Fei slowly turned his head and found that Ye Lingxi had closed her eyes and was breathing softly and evenly, as if she was asleep. Seeing that she was still holding the cake in her hand, he reached out and gently took it over. After wrapping the oil paper again, he gently put it back in her hand. His eyes fell on her eyelashes as beautiful as feather fans inadvertently. After a while, he looked away and looked at the slowly flowing white clouds on the horizon.

Feeling the head leaning on his shoulder move slightly, Yan Fei turned his head and saw the feather-fan-like eyelashes trembling slightly, and his heartbeat seemed to tremble along with it.

Ye Lingxi slowly opened her eyes, her eyes still a little confused as if she had just woken up, as if covered with a layer of mist. I felt pity for him, and Yan Fei's heart trembled again. She asked what time it was and whether she had slept for a long time. Yanfei replied that he had not slept for long. After a pause, he asked her if she wanted to sleep for a while. She shook her head and told him to go to work first while she would wait. Go back by yourself. Yanfei hesitated for a moment, not trusting to leave her alone, so she stood up, patted her clothes, and said she was going back, and let him go and do his business, so as not to delay the business. "Princess," she was stopped by him when she was about to leave. She turned around, and Yan Fei showed the hesitant expression on his face again, and then said, "Princess, please slow down on the road." She nodded and said to her. He smiled and said the pastry was delicious.

When the person walked away, Yanfei was still watching, and then a figure came over and said, "Don't look, your eyes will fall out if you look again." Yanfei didn't respond and walked away. Yanjiang reached out and grabbed him. Looking over his shoulder, he said, "Where are you going? The Emperor is still waiting."

Then, the uncle and nephew came to the imperial study together.

Eunuch De led the two people in and then backed out.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was low and solemn.

Ye Lanchen stared at a secret report in front of him, his brows furrowed and his face tense, as if he would burst into thunderous fury at the next moment.

Yanjiang lowered his head and looked at the ground. Like the ministers who had gone to court earlier, he was respectful, said less and acted more. Don't let his face hang around in front of the emperor, otherwise he would be scolded.

Yanfei was as usual, respectful and solemn, not saying a word or asking a question.

Before Ye Lanchen picked up the secret report and handed it over, Yan Jiang immediately stepped forward to take it with both hands.

This secret report was sent back by the Long Shadow Guards at high speed last night. It was sent from Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The things written in the secret report are not only incredible but also horrifying.

Yanjiang was also shocked when he saw it.

Qiu Yu, the former governor of Yangzhou, was sent as an envoy to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. After arriving in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he was warmly received by the Zhou Emperor. Not only did Emperor Zhou personally hold a banquet to welcome him, he also gave him a large house with all the housekeepers and servants, so that he could stay here for a longer period of time without being in a hurry to go back. It was hard to refuse such kindness, so Qiu Yu moved in. Then I stayed there until now.

At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong. Later, he gradually heard some rumors, and he conducted a secret investigation. He didn't expect that such a shocking secret was involved.

The queen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the former Princess Duanyang of Dahui, may have been replaced by someone else!
