A hint of cunning flashed in Shangguan Lingyun's eyes. He didn't expect that Ye Xiaoxiao actually liked this.
Shangguan Lingyun was not angry after hearing what Ye Xiaoxiao said. She sighed like a sick beauty.
"Only with you can I show my true self."
"Can you bear to make me tense up even for this little moment of relaxation?"
Ye Xiaoxiao: [Oh my god, I can't stand it. This guy is not only a big wolf dog, but also a green tea.]
[Oh God, please, please take this evildoer away quickly.]
Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to roar to the sky. If she still couldn't see that Shangguan Lingyun was pretending, then she would be a fool.
Ye Xiaoxiao's tone turned cold and her eyes looked at Shangguan Lingyun coldly.
"Shangguan Lingyun, you'd better talk to me nicely, otherwise, get out of here right now."
Shangguan Lingyun chuckled, his eyes soft, as if he wanted to drown her in his eyes.
However, after seeing Ye Xiaoxiao's warning look, he finally stopped talking.
"Xiaoxiao, I was just joking with you."
"Don't worry, I will also send someone to the border this time."
"Also, a few days ago, I had people buying up a lot of medicinal herbs at the border."
"I think everything will go smoothly after your father goes to the border."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned, "If he is allowed to have it so easy, how can he still remember your kindness?"
Shangguan Lingyun's lips curled up, "I didn't realize that Xiaoxiao would be so loyal to me."
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will make sure you make a lot of money and the people can use the herbs."
Seeing how confident he was, Ye Xiaoxiao knew that he had made all the arrangements, so she stopped thinking about it.
"It's good that you know what's going on. It's time to improve your reputation."
"Sometimes, if you do good things, you should let others know about it. You can't let those mean-spirited people take advantage of it for free."
The more Shangguan Lingyun looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, the more he liked her. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had not offended this little girl.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Shangguan Lingyun had already made preparations. This time, he not only wanted to improve his reputation.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to let Ye Xiaoxiao marry him legitimately.
Of course, Ye Xiaoxiao doesn’t know yet that Shangguan Lingyun has already set his sights on her.
The two chatted for a long time. Seeing that it was getting darker, Shangguan Lingyun hugged Ye Xiaoxiao and went to bed.
The two of them slept in each other's arms, and Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that every time she was in Shangguan Lingyun's arms, she felt particularly safe.
The sound of even breathing soon sounded, Shangguan Lingyun gently kissed Ye Xiaoxiao on the forehead, then quietly stood up and left.
The night was silent. The next day, after Ye Pengcheng finished his morning court session, he stopped Li Zhiming who was also walking back.
"Brother Zhiming, I have something to talk to you about. Do you have time today?"
Li Zhiming was just about to talk to him about the marriage between the two families, so he agreed when he saw this.
"It just so happens that I also have something to discuss with Brother Pengcheng. How about we come to my house and have a chat?"
Ye Pengcheng did not refuse. The two of them got on the carriage and headed towards the Li family.
When they arrived at the Li family, Li Jingjing greeted the two of them, and Mrs. Li prepared tea for them. Then the mother and daughter left.
After the two left, Ye Pengcheng spoke first.
"Brother Zhiming, I'm here today for the marriage of my two children."
Li Zhiming nodded, "Brother Pengcheng, do you want to postpone the wedding date after having two children?"
Ye Pengcheng nodded immediately and then sighed.
"I don't want to delay the relationship between the two children any further, but this is the situation now."
"If I rush into marriage, I'll feel sorry for my two children."
"That's why I took the liberty to come here and discuss with Brother Zhiming whether the wedding date can be postponed."
Li Zhiming thought so too, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Brother Pengcheng is right. Zhiming also has the same idea."
"You and I both have military duties to attend to, and this military duty is fraught with danger."
"The wedding dates for the two children really need to be discussed carefully."
Ye Pengcheng nodded, and then continued.
"Brother Zhiming, in the final analysis, it was Ye who implicated you in this matter."
Li Zhiming was puzzled, and Ye Pengcheng told him the whole story, but omitted Ye Xiaoxiao's thoughts in the middle.
Li Zhiming was surprised when he heard this, and then said embarrassedly.
"Brother Pengcheng, to be honest, I originally thought Prince Yu was a humble gentleman, someone worth following, and I even felt a little sorry for him."
"But ever since Jingjing's incident, I've gradually discovered that Prince Yu isn't what people say he is."
"It's just that, all along, apart from shielding the Han family, I have no other evidence."
"I was afraid that others would think I was petty, so I didn't dare to say more about it."
"I didn't expect that Brother Pengcheng would have the same idea as me."
"Besides, you've got so much evidence. Zhiming really admires you."
"It's just that our family shouldn't talk about those two families and whether they are involved or not."
"If we really want to talk about being implicated, it's because of Jingjing's matter. It's us who have implicated the Ye family."
"However, fortunately, we are now prepared, so we won't be too passive next time."
Ye Pengcheng nodded. He couldn't express Ye Xiaoxiao's thoughts, but he briefly told her his own plan.
"Brother Zhiming, the epidemic has been raging recently. You also know that Fan'er and Chang'er were previously related to the Crown Prince."
"During this period, the two of them told me that the prince seemed to be buying herbs in large quantities."
Li Zhiming didn't understand what he meant for a moment and said in confusion.
"Brother Pengcheng, what do you mean? The prince wants to take this opportunity to stockpile medicinal herbs?"
Ye Pengcheng was stunned, and seeing that he had misunderstood, he explained.
"No, the prince has been to the border before and is very familiar with this epidemic."
"Now, he's buying a lot of herbs. I think these herbs are likely to be used to treat the epidemic."
Li Zhiming suddenly realized, "Then why didn't Your Majesty let the Crown Prince do this?"
Ye Pengcheng sighed, "Treating the sick has always been the best way to win people's hearts."
"Do you think, given His Majesty's attitude towards the Crown Prince, that he would allow his popularity to surpass Prince Yu's?"
Although Li Zhiming is straightforward, he is not stupid. Ye Pengcheng has made his words so clear, how could he not understand?
"Brother Pengcheng, are you planning to?"
Li Zhiming stopped there, and Ye Pengcheng smiled faintly and nodded.
"Based on my observations over this period of time, Prince Yu is definitely not a good ruler."
"As for the Crown Prince, although this is mostly just my guess, the next moment is a good time for us to investigate."
"If this is true as we suspect, then why don't we follow the one who deserves to be followed?"
