Chapter 82 He Was Poisoned
"Bang--"
The door of the clinic was kicked open.
A snow-green afterimage rolled into the hall.
The medicine boy hurriedly stopped the man and said, "Sir, we are not opening the shop today..."
"It's okay, just close the door." Wei Chulan glanced sideways, then calmly closed the drawer containing the herbs. She turned around and asked the intruder, "What happened to Miss Ye?"
Zhang Min slowed down his pace just before the bed, carefully put Ye Jindian down, and hurriedly told everyone what had happened today.
Only then did the medicine boy see clearly who was coming.
Wei Chulan sat down beside the couch and examined the patient thoroughly.
His fingers swept across the red marks on Ye Jindian's neck, as if he saw nothing. He put his hand on it and silently counted her pulse.
"It's nothing. It's just the blood clots that have been washed away, and she's thinking about the past, so she has a headache." She asked the medicine boy to light the sleep-inducing incense, then stood up to write a prescription. "Give her some calming medicine. Let her rest."
Zhang Min clenched his fists: "Is she too tired, so..."
Without even looking up, Wei Chulan interrupted him, "I told you before that the blood clots will slowly heal and her memory will recover. This is simply because the time has come. It has nothing to do with you."
But his hands were still clenched tightly. He squatted beside the couch and looked at Ye Jindian with heartache and guilt.
Xie Zhaoming heard the sound and went out. He was a little surprised to see Zhang Min. Then he glanced at the couch and understood everything.
He took the people to the backyard for tea.
Zhang Min sat at the stone table, looking inside through the ice-cracked vase window next to the orchid, turning the cup absentmindedly, and accidentally spilled the tea on his own hand.
Xie Zhaoming handed over the cloth in his sleeve: "Wipe it."
Zhang Min took it and wiped it casually.
Seeing his fingers turn red, Xie Zhaoming sighed helplessly and resigned himself to fetch some water to wash his hands.
It took a lot of effort to draw up the water and call people to the well to wash.
"You know you..." He looked down at his blistered hands, then looked up at his anxiously looking towards the front hall, and shook his head helplessly, "Forget it."
Who doesn't get confused when falling in love with someone?
Xie Zhaoming applied the ointment on him and asked, "How much of the past did she remember?"
Only then did Zhang Min reluctantly pay him a little attention.
He shook his head: "I don't know."
Before Tiantian fainted, she called him "Brother", and she didn't know when her memory recovered.
Mainly -
He wore no mask at all, neither a bronze mask nor a gold mask.
How did she know that he was "Brother".
Was it the pain that made me confused, or was everything clear now?
"Then what are you going to do?" Xie Zhaoming took out a folding fan from his belt and fanned himself.
yes.
What should he do?
Zhang Min was also a little disappointed.
Just when I was worried, Luoying climbed over the wall and fell from the sky.
The human shadow was elongated by the sunlight, covering up all the spots of light left by the branches and leaves, without a single speck of gold in sight.
Xie Zhaoming teased: "Your subordinates really have your style."
He tried to liven up the atmosphere, but after hearing the message clearly, his smile disappeared.
"Urgent news." Luo Ying handed the document to Zhang Min as soon as he landed. "Bei Wan has sent troops and is already attacking Sand City."
——Shacheng is one of the border towns directly facing the Northern Wan Kingdom.
The two men's faces suddenly became serious.
Zhang Min took the document with one hand and put down the cup he had just picked up with the other. Xie Zhaoming also stood up suddenly, put away his folding fan, and moved closer to Zhang Min to read the document.
The two of them read ten lines at a glance and finished reading it in a moment.
"Ajin Lashamu is really a dog that can't change its bad habits. He is greedy and insatiable." Zhang Min slammed the document on the stone table.
For a peace talk without sending troops, how dare they ask Dayan to exchange sixteen cities?
There is no need to worry about choking to death if you eat too much.
He saw that the other side was determined to send troops.
The cups on the table clanged, and the cup lids rubbed against the cup bodies, making a harsh scratching sound.
Luoying: "His Majesty summons you two to the palace."
Zhang Min turned around.
Wei Chulan heard the clink of cups and came out to see what was going on. Seeing that they looked unhappy, she subconsciously looked at her husband.
Xie Zhaoming simply said, "Your Majesty summoned us to the palace."
Wei Chulan understood Zhang Min's look.
"Just go ahead and don't worry. I'll be here for Miss Ye."
Zhang Min bowed to her and said, "Then I'll leave my wife to my sister-in-law's care."
*
Imperial Palace.
Dezheng Hall.
All the officials sat on both sides to discuss the issue of sending troops.
The sun rises above the floating clouds, golden light shines through the door lattice, and dust swirls upwards.
The ministers were immersed in the vertical shadows of light and dark, their eyes looking particularly deep and heavy.
Yet, even now, some in the peace camp still spoke out: "We have just established the Great Yan Dynasty. The most important thing now is to allow the people to rest and recuperate. We must not mobilize the people or recklessly exploit their power. Only by withstanding the anger for a short period of time can we achieve long-term prosperity for generations to come."
Many people agreed.
This statement is not without reason.
Going back hundreds of generations, any royal court that lasted for more than three hundred years would always have a ceasefire consensus when the new dynasty was first established.
The people's strength cannot be restored unless it is exhausted.
However--
Li Wuji was the first to object: "You make it sound so easy. It turns out that those who died in the conquest of these sixteen cities weren't your own brothers, so you can just give them away."
Peacemakers: "Wu Hou is biased!"
Li Wuji sneered.
"I'm a military commander, and I don't understand your flowery talk. But I do understand one thing: a nation isn't established by giving away cities, but by its fists."
"A hundred years of war have just ended, and the people are exhausted. How can we waste this time? The Marquis of Wu is not among the people of the world, how can he understand the suffering of the people?"
"If you truly care about the suffering of the people, you should know that only when the world is at peace can ordinary people have a chance to live and work in peace. If the barbarians' war horses were to enter our Central Plains, not only ordinary people, but also us, would be like dogs that have lost their homes!"
"The world has been in chaos for a long time! Natural disasters have plagued us, and everything needs to be rebuilt. If we don't sacrifice the small things, how can we protect the big things? If we don't abandon the chariots, how can we protect the commander?"
…
The two sides quarreled fiercely.
Xiao Min got a headache after hearing this and shouted angrily, asking them to be quiet.
The emperor's wrath was like a thunderbolt crashing down.
Both sides pursed their lips and kept silent, but their eyes continued to collide fiercely, and neither of them was willing to give in.
Xiao Min rubbed his aching forehead and looked at Zhang Min, his tone softening considerably: "Right Prime Minister, tell me what you think."
"I thought that if Beiwan only wanted the annual tribute, it would be easy to deal with." Zhang Min's expression was calm, but his lowered eyes were deep, "But as soon as they opened their mouths, they wanted to seize the sixteen cities from me.
"If we lose these sixteen cities, Dayan will be like a toothless tiger. And who can't bully a toothless tiger?
“This battle is unavoidable.
"I will go."
As the emperor on horseback, Xiao Min naturally advocated war and wished he could lead the army himself; but as a monarch, he had to be more rational and maintain the overall situation.
He then turned to Du Junze, who was leading the other side, and asked, "What do you think, Left Prime Minister, should we do?"
Lord Du stood up and bowed. "I believe that if there is a good strategy to force Beiwan to withdraw its troops, then peace talks will suffice. If Beiwan is the only country that is rudely demanding the city, and Dayan has no say in the matter, then it is better to fight."
Xie Zhaoming was silent for a long time before he stood up and bowed. He first hurriedly said, "I have something to say," interrupting the peace faction, then slowly took out a long document and read out slowly the supplies needed for this battle, such as soldiers, food, weapons, bedding, etc.
Moreover, these accounts are compared with the population, taxation and strategic location of the sixteen border cities.
Finally, he concluded, "Five years of tax revenue from the sixteen border cities is enough to cover the military expenses of this expedition. But if we lose these sixteen cities, the barrier of Yanshan will no longer exist, and the capital will face the iron hoofs and whips of the northern Wan. Then, I am afraid you will have to live in constant fear."
The Sixteen Cities were originally the place where Dayan developed and made its fortune. They are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Once lost, it may take ten or twenty years, let alone five years, to get it back, and the only option is to move south to defend the country.
Gongsun Shuo also made a suggestion: "The treasury embezzled by the Minister of Revenue in collusion with Chunxiaolou is enough to cover more than 60% of the military pay. The Empress has always been a man of great righteousness and cannot bear to see the people suffer. My Gongsun family will do our utmost to help, and will provide an additional 20% of the funds to exempt all people from taxation."
The young general has a very firm voice.
Li Wuji suppressed his smile and only raised the corner of his lips. "If that's the case, then the national treasury only needs to pay another 20% of the military pay. Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, my Dayan has been on a truce to eliminate bandits for a year, so it shouldn't be that we can't even raise 40% of the military pay, right?"
Minister of Revenue: “…”
The Ministry of Revenue, which had just made a mistake, did not dare to say that it could not make up the money.
The decision to send troops was thus made.
The chief general was designated as Zhang Min, and the deputy generals were Luo Ying and Fu Feng.
The Northern Wan army was advancing aggressively, and the food and fodder they had prepared in advance had already been dispatched. Zhang Min was once again busy like a spinning top. After leaving the court, he went to inspect and reward the troops, and to boost morale in the city wall...
He could only entrust the heroine to the care of Xie Zhaoming and Wei Chulan.
Xie Zhaoming asked him if he should send other generals to fight and stay here with his wife: "This battle will be long. If you are not at ease, going to the battlefield... I am afraid there will be many disadvantages."
Zhang Min shook his head.
Thinking about Tiantian was the thing he did most when he was a young warrior.
Even so, he had never lost a battle in these years, and this time would be no exception. On the contrary, if he stayed in the capital, he would not know how to face Tiantian.
What would he do if she showed disgust towards him?
Moreover, Luoying and the others were brought up by him. He was always worried about the soldiers who were away. It would be better for him to lead the troops himself and solve the current troubles first.
As long as the country is stable, she can live a peaceful life.
Furthermore——
"If I stay in the capital, even if Luo Ying and the others leave, the secret guards around me will still be able to keep a tight watch."
Only when he left would he leave most of the secret guards behind to protect my sister and my wife.
"If there's no opportunity, Old Sikong will definitely not take action. And if Old Sikong doesn't take action again, it will become very difficult for Your Majesty to completely eradicate this stubborn old man."
All the century-old clans can only be consumed by war. Ordinary political means are not effective in eradicating them, and the reasons are not sufficient.
Zhang Min pressed his shoulders: "No matter what, you must protect her."
Xie Zhaoming: "Even if she wakes up and yells that she wants to kill you?"
Zhang Min: "Even if she wakes up and wants to kill me."
He couldn't help but think of that chaotic night again.
The moon was bright that night, and the broken snow was scattered all over the ground like the salt lakes in the northern desert.
Tiantian stood on the top of the rockery, holding a bloody blade, searching around with her eyes, and met his eyes as he climbed over the wall to return home.
At her feet, gangsters holding knives stood in a circle.
One of them pointed a knife at him and said, "Kill him!"
*
"Kill him!"
The bandits rushed towards Zhang Min excitedly.
The weapon flashed with a cold white light, dazzling people.
Ye Jindian was like a fish washed ashore by the tide. She suddenly sat up in shock, her whole body wet and gasping for breath.
The residual power of the white light in the dream was still there, and her vision was blurry and she could not see anything clearly.
The cochlea was also filled with the hateful voice of "kill him".
“Tick-tock—”
Cold sweat slid down from the temples to the back of the palms.
Ye Jindian closed her eyes and took a break for a while before her eyes and ears became clear.
When I opened my eyes again, everything I saw was unfamiliar.
Only the pair of eyes revealed behind the screen looked quite familiar.
"Thank you, Madam Second?" She glanced at the curtains around her and the bows and crossbows piled up nearby. "Is this... your house?"
Xie Ling nodded, then shook his head.
Ye Jindian guessed: "Is that your studio?"
Xie Ling nodded repeatedly.
"Do you know where my husband is?" Ye Jindian asked.
She didn't actually expect the other party to answer.
So, she leaned back against the headboard with her hands, intending to wait for her to turn around, write a note, and throw it to her from a distance.
Unexpectedly, a soft and innocent voice whispered, "Brother Zhang has been ordered to join the army for several days. They are marching at a rapid pace and are probably already in Sand City."
Ye Jindian was slightly surprised.
However, she quickly collected her composure, put everything together, and thought carefully.
The blinding white light in her dream lingered for a long time. She closed her eyes to relax: "Could you please find me a glass of warm water and something to eat?"
Xie Ling whispered, "Okay."
She lifted her skirt, climbed out the window quietly and left, asking a maid to go in and take care of Ye Jindian.
Ye Jindian drank warm water and ate porridge.
After resting for a while and regaining his strength, he changed his clothes and went to find Wei Chulan to thank her and pay the bill.
Wei Chulan pushed her purse away: "No need, your husband has already paid, and there is still some money left."
She put down the medicine scale in her hand, took out two gold grains from the coin box, and placed them next to her.
"Here, some extra money."
Ye Jindian lowered her eyes and looked at the gold for a while, then reached out and threw it into her purse. She smiled at Wei Chulan and said, "Thank you."
Wei Chulan smiled and said, "You're welcome."
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Ye Jindian bowed to her and said goodbye.
Walking out of the alley where the pharmacy was located, she looked at Xie Zhaoming who was waiting at the small tea stall nearby without any surprise.
This person has a strong aristocratic air. Even if he is just sitting at a tea stall on the street, he looks as carefree as if he is in a hexagonal pavilion on the top of a snowy mountain, looking up at the bright moon.
"If Miss Ye is not in a hurry, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"
Even the tone of voice was as gentle and refreshing as the breeze, slow and steady.
Ye Jindian saluted him and said, "I am grateful for your kindness, Lord Dingyuan. However, the peach and apricot blossoms in the courtyard are ripe. If I don't go back now, they will fall to the ground."
Her memory was restored.
Xie Zhaoming paused fanning himself and put down the tea in his hand that was still holding crumbs of tea but which he had not yet taken a sip of.
He looked at Ye Jindian's back as she left and asked her, "Are you going to look for your husband?"
Ye Jindian didn't even turn her head: "Not yet."
The memories in her mind were in disarray, so she needed to sort them out first, then take care of her body and recover her strength.
Besides.
It was customary for a general to go to war and leave his family behind in Beijing.
It wasn't easy for her to leave.
Turn out of the alley and enter the long street.
Under the banyan tree by the Zishui River, Xie Ling squatted on the ground, tilted half of his head, waved at her, nodded his wrist, and pointed under the tree.
Ye Jindian looked in the direction of her fingertips and saw a pair of wristbands quietly placed in the gap between the tree roots.
She walked closer, bent down and picked it up.
The wrist buckle is made of silver iron and has a small hole, unlike ordinary things.
She turned it over to the inside and pressed the trigger, revealing a circle of arrow slots that could hold ten small arrows.
It fits loosely on the wrist bone, fitting perfectly without any looseness or rattling.
"This is..." Ye Jindian squatted in front of the tree roots, looking at Xie Ling who was squatting like a little rabbit behind the trunk, "Is it a gift for me?"
Xie Ling nodded: "Wolf Eye, trigger the mechanism."
Ye Jindian tried it.
The arrow was powerful enough to sink into the ground, leaving only a few tail feathers.
She put it away and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Xie Ling met the smiling peach blossom eyes, hurriedly pulled up the curtain she had opened, picked up her skirt and ran away.
Ye Jindian watched her run towards Xie Zhaoming, then got up and went home.
He hasn't returned for several days.
Xiao Huang smelled her scent and excitedly tried to get to the door. As soon as the door opened, he hugged her calves and cried loudly, tears almost streaming down his face.
Ye Jindian had no choice but to pick up the dog to comfort it and closed the door.
The next few days.
She ate well and slept well. When it was cool during the day, she would pick apricots, wash them, slice them, and dry them in the sun, or soak them to make wine.
The peaches are just ripe and still a little sour.
Ye Jindian also picked some and put them in a jar with ripe apricots to brew.
When the sun was scorching, he would sit under the porch with a scroll in his hand, leaning against the pillars, or he would chop bamboo and bring it back to polish the tubes.
The warden came to visit her and told her to rest assured.
"The crossbow has been fully developed. Your Majesty has commended us greatly. When the three armies return victorious, there will be generous rewards."
Luo Dong went with the army to repair military equipment. He is now in the rear of Shacheng, not Shengjing.
Zhang Heng and Princess Kangning would lie on the wall every night, feeding the dog with dried meat while looking at Ye Jindian who was lying on the windowsill gazing at the moon in the dark, and sighing repeatedly.
Princess Kangning bumped Zhang Heng's arm and asked, "Tiantian, do you really want to fight to the death with your brother?"
Zhang Heng sadly crushed the meat and bones and threw them to the ground.
"I don't know either." She was also melancholy. "I think my eldest brother is deeply in love and there's no way to change it, but my sister-in-law... seems to be deeply in love too." She sighed, "They clearly love each other so deeply, why do they keep fighting?"
Princess Kangning also sighed: "Yes, just like you and General Gongsun."
Zhang Heng said with a look of disgust, "Stop it. Gongsun Zhaoye and I are sworn enemies, not romantic partners. Besides, I just can't stand him and am antagonizing him, but I'm not going to kill him."
In terms of seniority, he is barely her cousin.
For the sake of her cousin the Queen, she could spare his life.
Princess Corning looked at her meaningfully, but didn't say much, just continued to sigh.
"Then what should we do?" She rested her face on the back of her hand. "Go drink with her and get her drunk to get her to talk?"
Zhang Heng thought it was feasible.
*
"Trick?" Ye Jindian raised the wine jar and clinked glasses with the drunkard. "How are you going to trick me?"
Princess Kangning raised her head and took a sip of wine, then leaned on Ye Jindian's arm. Her face, as beautiful as a rose and as delicate as a crabapple, flushed red, and her fox eyes curved into a smile as she looked at her.
In the reflected water, it seemed as if she was the only one.
She was in a trance for a moment, thinking of another pair of black eyes that were always affectionate.
"I forgot." Princess Kangning pulled Zhang Heng next to her and said, "Let Mimi speak."
Zhang Heng was also drunk.
His glassy eyes were a little dazed. He hugged Ye Jindian's legs and tried hard to recall the question, but still answered irrelevantly: "Just... wait until you get better, I'll invite you to the Princess's Mansion, and the three of us will close the door and drink!"
Ye Jindian glanced at the wide-open doors and windows, looked at the bright moon on the branches of the crabapple tree, and fell silent for a while.
Princess Kangning hugged her arm, rubbed her shoulders and rested them on her head, laughing happily: "I'm telling you in secret, I! Tang Wancheng! Finally slept with Du Junze! From now on, I will forget him and can't like him anymore!"
The male favorites and maids outside the door: "..."
The princess is really drunk.
Ye Jindian's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at Zhang Heng on the other side: "Mimi, do you have any secrets to tell me? For example..." She coaxed, "Do any of you know why Right Prime Minister Zhang Min suffered so many injuries but did not have a single scar on his body?"
Princess Kangning was excited: "I know! I'll tell you!"
"No!" Zhang Heng covered her mouth. "This is my brother's secret. You can't tell it."
Ye Jindian thought to herself, he's quite vigilant.
It seems we have to think of another way.
"My sister-in-law wants to know, so of course..." Zhang Heng burped, "I have to tell her."
Ye Jindian: "...you say."
The drunk Zhang Heng quickly betrayed his elder brother: "Because he was poisoned by a powerful Gu."
Poison.
Ye Jindian's eyelids twitched.
"In the past, someone wanted to put a poison on the emperor's cousin-in-law. The poison was on the knife, and no one knew it. My brother just blocked it, and here in the heart--" Zhang Heng pointed at Ye Jindian's ribs.
In an instant, the cool breeze penetrated the thin clothes, went through the skin texture, and passed through the body.
My heart contracted violently.
"...He was pierced and bled a lot." Zhang Heng's eyes welled up with tears as she hugged Ye Jindian's knees tightly. "He bled even more than when my mother left. I thought he would die, but he didn't. Fortunately, he didn't."
Otherwise, she would have no relatives.
Ye Jindian pulled her drooping hand.
After a while, she found her arm and gently patted Zhang Heng's shoulder.
"But that Gu is too poisonous. Although it can't live directly in the flesh and blood, it can only float freely under the skin. But my brother's skin has become very special since then, extremely fragile and easily injured."
That's why the emperor's cousin-in-law cared about him so much, not letting him get hurt, and ordered him to wear gloves, a mask, a breastplate, etc. before agreeing to let him go to the battlefield.
"Actually, we all wanted him to step down and not go to the battlefield again." Zhang Heng's tears soaked Ye Jindian's knees, chilling her bones. "But he didn't want to. He said there weren't many things he wanted to do in his life. First, he wanted to get his mother's things back from Beiwan; second, he wanted to be with his sister-in-law for the rest of his life; and third, he wanted to bring peace to the country and prosperity to Hanoi."
Ye Jindian lowered her eyes, curled her lips slightly, and murmured, "How come his ambition hasn't changed in all these years?"
This is what I said when I gave her the jade hairpin.
"He said that since the first two things couldn't be done, we couldn't give up on the last one so easily." Her whisper was too low for Zhang Heng to hear clearly, so he continued to talk. "He also reassured us that this poison wasn't entirely without benefits. Although the skin was more fragile, the wounds healed faster, so it wasn't a loss at all."
Ye Jindian's fingertips trembled slightly.
Princess Kangning muttered softly, "Zhang Zimei has always been like this."
Not wanting to worry his friends and family, he just smiled and let it go.
"But I always see him tossing and turning late at night, unable to fall asleep." Zhang Heng smiled bitterly, lowered her eyes and shed tears, her voice trembling, "Brother, he still feels pain..."
*
"Does it still hurt?"
Zhang Min brought the stewed mutton soup, sat in front of the bed, and tucked the quilt for Ye Jindian.
She was still asleep, so he just murmured this, wiped her sweaty hair, and left with the mutton soup.
“Ahhh!”
Xiao Huang barked.
Ye Jindian opened her eyes, and Zhang Min's figure serving soup disappeared like an illusion in the water.
She held her head, which was aching slightly, and dressed neatly, then went out to see who was visiting.
She didn't know that person.
"Sir, I'm the owner of Hengfu Restaurant." The owner, whose round face was like a pearl, smiled like the Maitreya Buddha, which was refreshing. "I've brought you food."
Ye Jindian was puzzled: "My dear, are you mistaken? I didn't buy food from you."
She doesn't like buying food.
The shopkeeper still had a smile on his face: "You are absolutely right, this is Mr. Zhang Baishi's house, and you are Miss Ye, right?"
"How did you know? Someone else bought it?"
"No, your young master Zhang bought it from me."
Ye Jindian was stunned: "My husband?"
"Your husband left a message before he went off with the army. If you come home late at night, he'll prepare porridge, cakes, or fish meal," the shopkeeper explained. "I noticed you were drunk last night, so I took the liberty of adding an extra bowl of sobering tea. Don't worry, it's free."
He stuffed the food box into her hands and left in a hurry.
People who run the restaurant cannot leave for too long, even if it is not meal time.
Ye Jindian came in carrying a food box and opened it to see that the porridge was scallion and fish porridge, and the pastries were tanghua glutinous rice cake, red date cake, glutinous rice cake, giant shengnu and Hu bing.
They are all her favorite foods.
Even the sauce on the Hu pancake and the sesame seeds on it were to her taste.
*
Sand City.
Seen from above, the military camp at night looks like sesame seeds on a pancake, while the sand dunes are the crispy dough of the pancake.
Zhang Min sat on the sand dunes and looked at the stars alone.
They just had a small battle with the Prince of Beiwan today, and they won.
Without taking off his armor, he grabbed two Hu cakes and ran to the sand dune to calm down.
The outcome of the war is still undecided, and it is not the time to reward the troops. He must act with caution. He needs to calm down and think about whether he can capture the Beiwan royal court in one fell swoop and attack the rear.
The eldest prince's current fighting style seems more like he wants to hang him in the Sand City and not let him return to Shengjing.
All kinds of military and political strategies flashed through his mind.
As his thoughts gradually became clear, Ye Jindian's face also appeared in his mind, cast into the starry sky before his eyes.
After such a long time, the blood clot in Tiantian's brain should have dissipated.
She must have hated him terribly at this moment.
I just hope that hatred doesn't affect her appetite.
She had been wandering around since she was a child and had rarely had a stable life, so she was never picky about food and would swallow any food.
But if the food is not to her liking, she will chew it with an expressionless face, like a puppet being manipulated; if the food is just to her liking, she will involuntarily look for the scenery around her to accompany her meal.
At that time, there would be a faint smile in Peach Blossom's eyes.
Her eyes were filled with water, sparkling like waves, brighter than starlight.
*
When such a pair of beautiful eyes look at someone stubbornly, few people can remain unmoved.
The Supervisor, hands behind his back, stared at her for a long moment, then sighed. He took the document from her and said, "I'll submit it for you, but whether His Majesty approves it or not is not up to me."
Ye Jindian naturally understood.
"Thank you for the trouble."
She was determined to go to Sand City, so she would definitely not just hand in this document.
This is just a slingshot for Your Majesty, thrown out for all the officials to see.
As expected, the document was returned and was not approved.
She touched the document, changed into a skirt, put the bracelet she had put away into a lacquer box, and rented a car to go to the palace.
The carriage stopped on the side of the long street.
She got out of the car and walked slowly towards the palace gate.
"Excuse me, Madam Ye Ziyao of the Duke of Dingguo wishes to see the Queen."
