Chapter 207 The Bride
Ye Lanzhou was held in his arms, unable to see his expression. He was silent, but his breathing was heavy, as if something was pressing on his heart.
She didn't know how to comfort Xie Chengyan, so she could only reach out and hold his hand that was holding the reins. Her slender fingers slipped through the gap, and she interlocked her fingers with his in silence.
Xie Chengyan lowered his eyes and looked at it, then clenched his hands tighter.
After a long while, he finally spoke again and asked, "Remember the black gold tiger talisman you showed me?"
Ye Lanzhou nodded.
"That's the military token of the Southern Xinjiang Army." He continued, "Prince Ning's mother was from Southern Xinjiang. She later went to work in the Forbidden City in Nanjing. She had a one-night stand with my father, and that's how Prince Ning was born. Prince Ning's mother also had the surname Qin, so she must be your mother's sister."
Ye Lanzhou's face suddenly changed. She still felt heartbroken when her mother was suddenly mentioned, but she didn't expect that her mother could be related to King Ning.
No wonder the military token of the Southern Xinjiang Army appeared in her hands.
The snow in Shangjing gradually came to an end. The accumulated snow had not yet melted. The cold wind blew, chilling her to the bone. She subconsciously leaned into Xie Chengyan's arms.
Xie Chengyan naturally wrapped her in his cloak, and Ye Lanzhou realized that the two of them were now too familiar with each other and the tension they had in the past was long gone.
She had seen him at his most confused, but she didn't think he was useless because of that. Just like what she and Yan Su had said, one couldn't blame someone in the situation for being confused.
She curled up in Xie Chengyan's arms and never spoke again.
When they arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion, Xie Chengyan handed the horse to the groom. Seeing that Ye Lanzhou was very sleepy, he asked her to go back to her room to rest.
But Ye Lanzhou couldn't sleep, so he went to Xinglinchun.
The two days she was away happened to be the Spring Festival, and there were not many people in Xinglinchun, so she didn't miss any work. After arriving, she helped the two pharmacists sort out the medicine list.
It was almost noon, so she stretched her waist and moved her limbs. The sunlight shining on people in the cold winter was the most comfortable. Her desk was next to the window, and she felt sleepy.
She closed her eyes and was about to sort out the last bit of the prescription and go back, when she was suddenly startled by the voices of two pharmacists in the outer hall.
"Miss Yang!"
"Miss Yang, why are you here?"
Ye Lanzhou was surprised and delighted. A surname of Yang? Who else could have made these two medicine boys so excited except Yang Jiyu?
She put down what she was holding and walked out of the inner hall. The person standing outside was indeed Yang Jiyu. She had not changed much, but her clothes had changed. Her previous plain clothes had changed. She had a pure appearance, but because of the brocade top, she looked a bit more beautiful.
To a style similar to Pei Xuanhui's.
Seeing Ye Lanzhou, Yang Jiyu smiled faintly and called out, "Alan."
Ye Lanzhou quickly let her in. Logically speaking, she had just gotten married. Given the Pei family's temper, how could they allow her to leave the house?
Ye Lanzhou looked around at her and saw that she was fine, so he quickly led her into the inner hall to talk. While pouring her a cup of tea, he asked, "You left the house, and the Pei family didn't say anything?"
Yang Jiyu shook his head, "It was Pei Xuan who let me out."
This is even more strange. Even if Pei Xuan doesn't like Yang Jiyu, he still knows the rules. How can a woman go out just a few days after her wedding?
Yang Jiyu continued, "Two days ago, Master Pei was released from the Dali Temple's prison, but he seemed to have been frightened in prison. He... asked me to go out and get some medicine for Master Pei."
