Jiaochu

Ye Lingxi asked Yan Miao why he came to the capital. Yan Miao said that he was originally going to come, but he arrived a few days later than Ye Lingxi.

After Anqing Hou took the fans, he showed them to Emperor Zhou, but Emperor Zhou didn't respond. Huo Xuan said to just bring the jade seal. Ye Lingxi remembered that Concubine Yao had said that Emperor Zhou was also an infatuated person and that she was her eldest sister. She wanted to bring the things over and try them. Maybe it would work. She also wanted to go to the palace and ask Eunuch Ma about something.

Then, Huo Xuan went to the palace with Ye Lingxi and Yan Fei.

After entering the palace, Huo Xuan asked Eunuch Ma to be found. Ye Lingxi asked Eunuch Ma if there was anyone in the palace who had been serving Emperor Zhou since the Prince's Mansion. Eunuch Ma said that Emperor Zhou had always lived in the palace, and he had been there before. He worked as an errand in the imperial kitchen, and later served Emperor Zhou.

Ye Lingxi asked Emperor Zhou what things he had given to her eldest sister when he was still the prince. Eunuch Ma told her everything from jewelry to calligraphy and paintings. He also specifically mentioned that the two of them had painted a fan together, and that fan was in the imperial study. keep it.

Huo Xuan and Eunuch Ma went to the royal study to get fans, while Ye Lingxi and Yan Fei went to Changqiu Palace. Man'er was still standing guard here. When he saw Ye Lingxi coming back, he asked anxiously about Ye Sirou's safety. Ye Lingxi didn't have time to explain in detail, so he asked Man'er to bring over the jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and told Man'er to wait for him. The father-in-law will come over, and if he asks, he will say that she and Yan Fei left the palace beforehand.

When Huo Xuan brought Eunuch Ma over, Man'er was the only one in the dormitory. There was a jewelry box and a pile of calligraphy and paintings on the table. Eunuch Ma picked out the jewelry box given by Emperor Zhou and the one Ye Sirou liked to wear when she was the princess. jewelry.

While Ma Eunuch was picking things up, Huo Xuan asked where Ye Lingxi and Yan Fei had gone, and Man'er replied that they had left the palace beforehand.

After Huo Xuan and Eunuch Ma left, Ye Lingxi and Yan Fei walked out from behind the screen.

The two stayed in Changqiu Palace until dark, and then went to Leng Palace.

When they arrived at the ancient well, they found a man kneeling beside the well, his head lowered, and a shiny cold knife was placed on the back of his neck. The person holding the knife was Ye Sirou.

Seeing the two of them appear, Ye Sirou curled her lips and said with a smile, "I came at the right time."

The man kneeling by the well was trembling, his face bloodless.

"Who is he?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Ye Sirou glanced at the person under the knife's edge with contempt and said, "Guess."

Ye Lingxi looked at that person, a guess came up in his mind, and he looked surprised, "Could it be that he is..." Ye Sirou sneered, "That's right. Good sister, tell me, should I kill him or not." Asked, "How did you find him?" Ye Siju said, "Of course I don't have that ability. If I did, why wait until now." At this point, she raised her lips and smiled, "Why don't we play a game."

"What game?" Huo Xuan came out of the shadows and greeted with a smile, "Isn't this the Queen? Are you okay?"

Ye Siju said: "The young Marquis is here too. There need to be more people to make this game more fun." She said to Ye Lingxi, "Good sister, please call your brother Su here too."

Huo Xuan said: "It's fun when there are many people. If you want more people, I'll bring them along."

Ye Siju said: "Then let's add Miss Wang."

Huo Xuan said: "That girl is very shrewd. I'm afraid she will ruin the elegance of the empress." Ye Siju said: "The young marquis is now very keen on the elegance of this palace."

Ye Lingxi said, "I happen to have something to ask Miss Wang. I'd like to thank you for your time." She asked Yan Fei to pick up Su Shi, so they could move faster if they split up. Although Yan Fei was worried about her staying here alone, he knew that she had her own plans and told her to be careful and leave the palace first.

After the two of them left, Ye Lingxi asked about Lady Peach Blossom, and Ye Si Judao said, "I sent your little guard away. That's what I want to ask. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?"

Ye Lingxi said: "The game hasn't even started yet. It would be boring if there were less people."

Ye Sirou smiled and said, "If I kill you, it will be interesting how your little guard will react."

Ye Lingxi said: "Then before I die, can you answer the question I just asked?"

Ye Siju said: "I have never heard of Peach Blossom Lady, but there was a palace maid in the palace who peeped at me practicing kung fu, and I left the palace after I found out." At this point, she changed the subject, "But, she But he left something for me."

Ye Lingxi asked, "What is it?" Ye Sirou curled her lips and said, "An elixir."

"Elixir?" Ye Lingxi immediately thought of what Murong Ze had mentioned to her before. King Xia was obsessed with refining elixirs and wanted to make an elixir for immortality. He also needed the most powerful fire Ganoderma lucidum in the world as a medicine guide, but King Xia did not take the elixir in the end. Murong Ze once speculated that Black and White Wuchang sneaked into the palace and replaced the elixir with poison. If this was true, then this elixir should be the one that King Xia had ordered to refine. "Listen It is said that eating the elixir can lead to immortality. How can the palace maid be willing to give such a good thing to others?"

Ye Siju said: "She peeked at me practicing. She has to show some sincerity in order to survive. Besides, she wants to avenge her lover. There is no point in living alone, let alone immortality. This woman is the most stupid. She will die for a man. If you want to live, you risk your life in the end." At this point, she curled her lips and sneered, "Unfortunately, there are many heartless people in this world, and what her lover gave her was not an elixir at all, but an empty box."

"Empty box?" Ye Lingxi wondered whether the elixir had been eaten by Hei Wuchang a long time ago, so why did he give an empty box to Bai Wuchang? He secretly ate the elixir behind Bai Wuchang's back and was afraid of being discovered, so he left an empty box. To the other party?

But Ye Sirou's next words shocked her.

"There is also a mechanism hidden in the box. Once opened, a poisonous needle will be ejected."

This Hei Wuchang not only stole the elixir but also wanted to kill Bai Wuchang. Ye Lingxixin said that this Hei Wuchang was really poisonous. Fortunately, he was already dead, otherwise such a sinister and vicious person would be a disaster if he stayed in the world.

"Good sister, the most unbelievable thing in this world is the word love, especially a man's vows and sweet words. These are my sister's words from the bottom of my heart. You must remember them carefully and don't be seduced by those romantic ghosts when you go underground. As soon as she finished speaking, a piece of puppet silk flew out of Ye Sirou's sleeve, and in a blink of an eye it was in front of Ye Lingxi. She quickly said wait a minute, she still had something to say, and asked Ye Sirou to ask her a question too. The two of them had no grudges and no need to fight or kill each other.

Ye Silou thought for a while and felt it made sense. She took away the puppet thread first and asked, "Are you and that little guard privately engaged for life?" Ye Lingxi's face turned red and said not yet, Ye Silou said, "All men have In the same way, what you can't get is the best. Once you get it, you will change your mind sooner or later." Ye Lingxi said, "If you change your mind, then I won't want him, but Brother Yan won't."

Seeing Ye Lingxi's determined look, Ye Sirou asked her to tell her story about Yan Fei, the little guard.
