Ye Chuyan didn't know what Yan Xi meant, thinking that he should report something urgent to Pei Xiuyan, so she simply took Bai Zhi to find a nearby pavilion and sit down leisurely.
Bai Zhi immediately said: "Princess, this pavilion faces the west side for ventilation. Please go find a Tang Pozi for you."
"No need, my body has recovered and the cold can't hurt me yet."
Bai Zhi was unwilling to give in. "Princess, the dress you are wearing today is a bit thin, and I am really worried about it."
Ye Chuyan couldn't refuse Bai Zhi's kindness and nodded in agreement.
After Bai Zhi left, Ye Chuyan looked around the Western Zhou Dynasty. Today, most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace were in Hanyuan Hall. The path to the imperial garden was sparsely populated. The pavilion in the Western Zhou Dynasty was covered with pine trees, making it extremely quiet.
It's really a nice quiet place.
"Young Master Wu, wait for me." A woman's gasping voice came from the distance, as if she was out of breath.
"How many times have I told you not to follow me anymore!" Wu Mu's voice was full of impatience.
"But...but...Sister Yuelin asked me to follow you closely in the palace." The woman felt aggrieved.
"Who told you who to go to? Zhang Xiuyu, I beg you, can you stop following me?"
Wu Mu's words made the woman cry immediately.
Following the sound of panicked footsteps, one could clearly hear that the woman ran away crying.
Since that day, Wu Mu's injured eyes have appeared in Ye Chuyan's dreams every day. Hearing his voice again today, Ye Chuyan, who was sitting in the pavilion, felt mixed emotions.
Fortunately, it was getting dark now, so Wu Mu shouldn't be able to see her while standing on the path.
After a long time, Wu Mu's footsteps gradually moved away.
Just as Ye Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief, a blue figure suddenly jumped down from the pavilion.
Ye Chuyan subconsciously shouted: "Xiaomu, this is the palace, you can't be so reckless."
"Ayan, are you worried about me? I know you have me in your heart."
Wu Mu was wearing a sapphire blue brocade-embellished robe today, with a white jade belt around her waist, and a green gilt crown on her head. She had thin pieces of hair hanging down on both sides, and her whole body was filled with the unique unruly and free spirit of a young man.
His bright eyes looked at Ye Chuyan, as if there were endless stars in the sky.
Ye Chuyan didn't dare to look at Wu Mu and stood up to leave.
Wu Mu went up and grabbed Ye Chuyan's sleeve.
"Ayan, I have been thinking during this period that you are not a childlike person. You must hate Pei Xiuyan extremely now."
"I heard that Pei Xiuyan is in charge of the exile of the female members of the Ye family. After thinking about it, it must be because of this that you stay with him, right?"
Ye Chuyan was suddenly startled.
She secretly tried hard to put away Wu Mu's hand, but Wu Mu held on tightly.
Ye Chuyan said sharply:
"Young Master Wu, I'm overthinking it. I stayed in the Qing Palace because I admired the prince, and that's all. The Ye family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the Qing King spared the lives of the Ye family's female family members, which is an act of mercy beyond the law. I am grateful at all times, so how can I hate it?" ?”
Wu Mu was like a wounded little beast and said aggrievedly:
"Ayan, you must be saying that because you don't want me to get involved. The emperor hates collusion between government and businessmen. You don't want me to get involved in the Ye family's affairs. You said that because you were afraid of implicating me, right?"
"But Ayan, have you ever thought about how I can let you bear this pain alone?"
Ye Chuyan first thought that Wu Mu was an innocent boy.
Only now did she realize that she had been wrong from the beginning.
This young man has an exquisite heart. He is not innocent, but he is unwilling to get involved in the dirty things in the world of mortals.
Ye Chuyan tried hard to suppress the emotion in his eyes, and replaced it with disdain and sarcasm:
"Young Master Wu, you are really in love. If I was interested in you, I wouldn't have rejected you again and again for so many years."
"I'll say it again, I have a deep love for Prince Qing. I hope you won't be so self-righteous as to bother me."
"If you continue to entangle with me, the friendship we had when we were young will be severed from now on."
Wu Mu staggered and let go of Ye Chuyan's sleeves. His eyes turned red and he shouted: "Ayan, you lied to me! You lied to me!"
"Young Master Wu, please respect yourself. My concubine has made it very clear. Please don't pester me!" Pei Xiuyan came over with Yan Pei at some unknown time.
Ye Chuyan's mocking words about Wu Mu just now made him feel very good, and the corners of his mouth turned up inexplicably.
Ye Chuyan dug her nails into her palms, controlled her trembling heart, leaned into Pei Xiuyan's arms, and said coquettishly like a little girl: "My lord, why are you here?"
Pei Xiuyan's heart seemed to skip a beat.
He admitted that he was fascinated by Ye Chuyan's coquettish and angry state. Whether it's true or false, he wants to accept it all.
He put Ye Chuyan's hand in his and said softly: "I came to see you for something, let's talk while walking."
Ye Chuyan nodded slightly and followed him obediently.
Bai Zhi, who came with Mrs. Tang, happened to meet Pei Xiuyan coming down from the pavilion holding Ye Chuyan's hand.
Pei Xiuyan naturally took Tang Pozi from Bai Zhi's hand and stuffed it into Ye Chuyan's hand.
The two of them walked farther and farther holding hands. Judging from their backs, they were really in love, and they were a perfect couple.
Wu Mu, who was standing in the pavilion, slowly squatted on the ground, covered his head and said in pain: "Ayan lied to me...Ayan lied to me...Ayan did this to protect me...Ayan Yan lied to me..."
On the way back with Pei Xiuyan, Ye Chuyan was afraid that Pei Xiuyan would ask about Wu Mu's affairs, so he asked in advance: "Why does the prince want me?"
Pei Xiuyan thought for a moment and said calmly: "Nothing."
Just now Yan Che saw a person in the palace who was exactly the same as the one who peeped at Jiang Jiayuan that day. He was mixed in with the imperial guards patrolling the palace. After learning the news, he felt that the person was here for Ye Chuyan today.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he followed Yan Xi out to look for Ye Chuyan.
However, the person only has the same figure. He has not found out the details of the other person yet, so he cannot alert the enemy.
After hearing this, Ye Chuyan lowered his head and said nothing. It is speculated that Yan Pei saw Wu Mu all the way away, and Pei Xiuyan was afraid that she would have a secret meeting with Wu Mu, so he hurried to catch her.
Fortunately, she did not implicate Wu Mu. However, she said this today, hoping that Wu Mu would give up completely.
The two of them returned to Hanyuan Hall with their own thoughts.
As soon as I walked outside the palace, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of rituals were saying: The hour of You is coming, please take your seats -
Today, the main seats on the high platform in the middle of the Hanyuan Hall are the seats of the emperor and the queen. On both sides are long tables connected in sequence.
The Beirong envoys were arranged according to etiquette on the right side near the high platform. Next to the envoys were the descendants of the royal family without official positions.
On the left are the officials of Dafeng, with Pei Xiuyan at the front, facing the new emperor Beirong opposite.
After Pei Xiuyan and Ye Chuyan sat down, Ye Chuyan found that Nan Gongli was sitting below him.
