Yan Xi thought about it for a while.
"Li Shuang and Butler Li in the mansion are distant relatives, but usually Butler Li dislikes him for not doing his job properly and almost cuts off all contact with him. In the past two days, Butler Li seems to have met him several times. He suddenly has a lot of money and spends money to find someone. I asked those old women to scold them.”
Yan Xi really didn't dare to say that this matter might have been arranged by Li Fu.
Because Li Fu's sister was once the prince's wet nurse, and Li Fu had worked diligently as a housekeeper in the mansion for many years, this feeling was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Pei Xiuyan curled his lips and sneered, and instantly twisted the tea cup in his hand into powder, with a murderous aura bursting out of his eyes.
"That bitch Li Fu must be remembering that Ayan slapped him, that's good!"
Yan Qi originally thought that Pei Xiuyan would want to let Li Fu and his family off the hook for their hard work on the Qing Palace. From Pei Xiuyan's tone, Li Fu was probably not going to die soon.
He was a little shocked. When did the princess' position in the prince's heart become so important?
"What's the news from the palace?"
"Yes! The courtiers we had arranged submitted a note in the afternoon, nominating the governor of Kyoto to go to Jiangfeng to fight against the Japanese. The emperor said he would consider it."
Pei Xiuyan could almost imagine that Pei Ye would be furious when he saw these facts.
The Governor of Kyoto is Pei Ye's confidant and informant outside the palace. He will never let the Governor of Kyoto go to Jiang Feng.
It is absolutely impossible to use the threat of anti-Japanese war to force herself to hand over Ye Chuyan!
By the time the three-day leave was over, Na Sheng had already returned to Beirong, and the people to fight against the Japanese had already been decided, and Pei Ye could not do anything to him.

Ye Chuyan did not go to bed. She listened to the faint sound of wooden fish outside, sent Bai Zhi to the side room, and began to write the "Heart Sutra". She felt an unprecedented sense of peace in her heart.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Little girl, your handwriting is so good!"
When Ye Chuyan heard this voice, the hairs on his back suddenly stood up, it was Na Sheng!
Sure enough, as soon as she turned around, she met Sheng's charming eyes.
Ye Chuyan glanced at Western Zhou for a way to escape, while pretending to be calm and said: "How did you get in?!"
Na Sheng was wearing a swaggering red fur robe and did not hide his face.
The red clothes and the double eyes of different colors brought a strong impact, making Ye Chuyan feel that this person was simply the god of hell.
Na Sheng picked up the Heart Sutra written by Ye Chuyan and read it carefully. While reading, he said casually:
"Little girl, your husband actually rejected my proposal, which really surprises me."
Ye Chuyan did not answer, but glanced at the window and found that it was not locked, thinking about how to jump out of the window.
Na Sheng seemed to see through Ye Chuyan's thoughts.
Youyou said: "As long as you dare to run away, I will say that you seduced me to come here for a private meeting. What do you think the Emperor of Dafeng will do to you?"
Ye Chuyan clenched her fists tightly.
"Na Sheng! How can you let me go? A lunatic like you will never hand over the ten cities of Dafeng sincerely. You will definitely go back on your word if you achieve your goal."
Na Sheng put down the Heart Sutra, looked up at Ye Chuyan, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
"Little girl, you are worthy of being the one that the emperor likes. You actually understand me so well. Your Emperor Dafeng is far inferior to you in this regard. We are truly a match made in heaven, and I really like you more and more. "
Ye Chuyan thought Na Sheng was crazy before, but now it seems that he is not crazy, he is crazy.
"Well Sheng, give up on this idea. As long as my husband doesn't agree, you can't take me away."
Na Sheng nodded in agreement, "I really can't take you away this time."
He walked around behind Ye Chuyan and took a deep sniff. It was this fragrance that he had smelled once in a cave when he was a child. This song made him miss it.
Ye Chuyan felt that Na Sheng's action was weird and scary, so she ducked away and jumped two steps back.
Na Sheng felt very happy when he saw the tense look on her face.
"Little girl, don't be nervous. I am here to say goodbye to you today. I will come to pick you up after I return to Beirong and take care of a few miscellaneous things."
When Ye Chuyan heard the word "pick up", he felt as if he had climbed onto a poisonous snake. His heart was trembling and uncomfortable for a moment.
Na Sheng quickly disappeared, and Ye Chuyan frantically locked all the windows and doors in the house, leaning against the door with her heart pounding.
How is Sheng, a lunatic, going to take him away?

For two consecutive days, Pei Xiuyan stayed with Ye Chuyan almost every step of the way except at night.
For the past two days, the two of them did not talk about the worldly world, but only listened to sutras and chanted Buddha's name, just like devout Buddhists.
Ye Chuyan accidentally discussed Taoism with the abbot of the temple, and the abbot was deeply moved by what he said.
He didn't expect that Ye Chuyan, a worldly noble girl, would have unique insights into Buddhism, and he couldn't help but admire her.
Pei Xiuyan just watched silently and said nothing.
He didn't know before that Ye Chuyan also studied Buddhism deeply. The more this happened, the more he felt that he was the only one who could see everything about Ye Chuyan's good deeds. This feeling was really good.
Pei Xiuyan found a bottle of snow clam ointment from somewhere and helped Ye Chuyan apply the ointment every morning, noon and evening. The effect of this product is amazing, and the wounds on Ye Chuyan's palm are healing at an incredible speed.
On the morning of the third day, after breakfast, Pei Xiuyan came to apply medicine to Ye Chuyan as usual.
He took off the gauze, and Ye Chuyan was surprised to find that there was only a thin scar left on the wound on his palm. Apart from a little itching, there was no pain.
Pei Xiuyan couldn't help but smile when he saw this, "Ayan, we are going back to the house today. When I come back from the palace, how about I teach you how to practice swordsmanship?"
"Yeah." Ye Chuyan got used to Pei Xiuyan's gentleness and affection these days, and was able to suppress the discomfort and deal with Pei Xiuyan skillfully.
When they returned to the mansion, they were greeted by Mrs. Mo.
"Prince, Princess, you are back!"
Her silver hair was dyed black, and she was carefully dressed up. She looked so energetic that Ye Chuyan almost didn't recognize her.
She couldn't help turning her head to look at Pei Xiuyan, her eyes full of doubts.
Pei Xiuyan explained calmly: "Li Fu has retired and returned to his hometown. Madam Mo is now the new housekeeper of the house."
Yan Che stood nearby, his eyelids twitching inexplicably. How could Li Fu retire and return to his hometown? It was the prince who personally dealt with Li Fu the night before yesterday. He hung him upside down on a beam, cut out his tongue, and left him to bleed to death.
Ye Chuyan was thinking that after Li Fu left, Mrs. Mo, who had a deeper relationship with Pei Xiuyan, came. She should be more careful in her actions in the future.
After sending Ye Chuyan back to Jiangjiayuan, Pei Xiuyan returned to the study, with Madam Mo following closely behind.
After the door of the study room was closed, Madam Mo put away her smile and said with a serious face:
"Your Majesty, Na Sheng left half a day earlier than planned. It is said that the remnants of the prince's party in Beirong rebelled and said they wanted to kill a tyrant like Na Sheng who harmed his brothers."
"When Na Sheng left, the emperor and hundreds of officials saw him off in person. It was a great honor, but he didn't mention the establishment of diplomatic relations at all."
After hearing these reports, Pei Xiuyan laughed at himself: "As expected, Pei Ye didn't mention the establishment of diplomatic relations because he wanted me to lead troops to attack Beirong."
He rejected Na Sheng's proposal and lost the fat in Pei Ye's mouth. Pei Ye would definitely take advantage of the civil strife in Beirong to ask him to find a way to get the fat back.
No matter, whether it is to protect Ye Chuyan or for the Dafeng territory, this battle is inevitable.
Pei Xiuyan freshened up and went to the palace.
