Chapter 64 I am a man!
Since his eye injury, Xie Chengyan's hearing seemed to be more acute than before. After hearing the noise, he stood up and walked towards the secret passage in the room. As soon as he stepped into the cabinet door, he heard Sun Yunshu say from behind: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, Nanjiang's request for peace this time is conditional."
Xie Chengyan turned around and looked at Sun Yunshu, who was sitting at the desk. She slowly said, "They want Princess Mingyi."
Yu Le was already calling her from outside, she answered loudly and then left.
Xie Chengyan followed the secret passage out, and he heard what Sun Yunshu had said. The court had indeed received a letter stating that the Nanman were sending envoys to negotiate peace, but at first they hadn't paid much attention. It wasn't until Lin Yan's men discovered that Sun Yunshu was leading the way that they realized something was amiss. Now, they were saying that the condition for their peace talks was Princess Mingyi.
The Nanman were truly skilled at selecting their subjects. Yin State now had three princesses. The eldest, Xie Zhaoyi, was Prince Ning's twin sister. After Prince Ning's failed rebellion, she spent a long time at the foot of Longque Mountain in Nanyang, guarding her brother's body. The second, Xie Zhaohe, was Xie Chengen's younger sister and Xie Chengyan's older sister. She was married to Lu Qianshan, the second son of the Lu family, the Marquis of Xiaoyong. The third, Xie Zhaochu, also known as Princess Mingyi by the Baiyue, was the youngest of her many siblings, currently only sixteen years old.
Ye Lingchuan was waiting downstairs. After a long time, his followers came down from upstairs. They walked in a panic and almost fell down.
Seeing him like this, Ye Lingchuan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Sir! There's no movement in the room? Is the Fifth Miss not in there?"
"How is that possible? I saw someone send her in with my own eyes."
Ye Lingchuan, puzzled, glanced up at the room Pei Song had just entered. The door was tightly closed, just as it had been when he left. Everything was clearly ready, so why was there no movement? After some thought, he finally followed him upstairs.
He first stood at the door and listened, and found that there was indeed no movement. Puzzled, he opened the door and slowly looked inside, but there was no one inside.
Pei Song was about his age, and when they were little, he'd always pestered him to go out and play, but he didn't want to be with a fool, so he left under the pretext of going to school. Pei Song was just a fool, but he wasn't a bad person. Ye Lingchuan knew him for years and knew that. But the Pei family shouldn't have let their foolish son marry Ye Qingshang, who had just injured his foot. Wouldn't that bring shame to the Ye family?
How could a fool marry the daughter of the dignified Ye family? The plan was originally well-planned. First, let the maid in the mansion trick the younger sister Ye Anyun into coming here, then let the servant of Wanhe Tower bring Pei Song in and feed them both with medicine. By then, the matter would be settled, and it would be difficult for the Pei family to even think about this marriage, and Deng Shi would not be able to say anything.
But now, the two people who should have been caught doing something shameful had disappeared. Although Ye Lingchuan was annoyed, he still had some sense. Seeing that the teapot lid in the room was put aside, it meant that someone must have been there.
He looked around the room and when his eyes fell on the bed, he found something unusual. There was a turquoise outer robe on the bed, and what was overlapping on top should be an inner garment. This was Pei Song's clothes, but why was the clothes there but the person was gone?
As he was pondering, he was suddenly hugged from behind. The man behind him was full of brute force, and seemed to be a little confused under the influence of drugs. He held him tightly, making it impossible for Ye Lingchuan to break free. He shouted, "Get out! I'm a man!"
