Mu Qing and Mingyue walked out of the village and went straight up the mountain. They wanted to take a shortcut over the mountain and return to Yangzhou. I wonder if Pang Hu and the others have returned?
Seeing that it was getting dark, Mu Qing stopped and said, "We can't go any further. We need to find a place to stay overnight before dark. If we delay any longer, your wound will get inflamed."
Mingyue said "hmm" and said nothing more. Mu Qing felt something was wrong with the person behind him, so he quickened his pace and found a wooden house before it got completely dark. It seemed to be the hunter's temporary resting place.
Mu Qing put Mingyue down and touched her forehead, making sure she didn't have a fever before he felt relieved. Then he stood up and lit the tinder. There were actually quilts and firewood here, which seemed to save him a lot of trouble.
After lighting the oil lamp and tending to Mingyue's wound, Mingyue looked at Mu Qing and said with a smile, "Madam's intuition is really amazing. When she left, she gave me all her protective gear. If it weren't for the soft armor, I think we would both be more seriously injured now."
Mu Qing nodded in agreement, then said, "Jiangnan isn't peaceful either, and Kyoto is probably even less so now."
When Ye Chen received Mu Qing's letter, his face darkened again and again. There were too many branches of the Phoenix Society. If he directly ordered their annihilation in the name of the court, it would inevitably cause panic. He could only defeat them one by one without making any noise.
Since Mu Qing and Ming Yueren are already in Jiangnan, let's do one more thing, which is to take down the branch office there.
This morning, while Ye Chen was helping Shen Qiu wash and groom herself, he said, "I'm going to the Chen Mansion today!"
Chen Qiu naturally knew which Chen Mansion this was and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "There are some things I need to discuss with Master Chen. I will be back before lunch."
Chen Qiu nodded without asking any more questions. During this period of time, Chen Qiu knew that Ye Chen and Gu Ruojin could not meet alone. Gu Ruojin was a clear-headed person, and Ye Chen even wanted to stick to her every day. What else was there for Chen Qiu to worry about?
Black Hawk and Xing'er were still following Ye Chen, but Xing'er was dressed as a guard.
Arriving at the Chen Mansion, Ye Chen was taken directly to Chen Qingyun's study.
As soon as they sat down, they got straight to the point and it was obvious that this was not their first meeting.
Ye Chen asked: "Have you decided? Yan Qinglian is your teacher and the one who promoted you."
Chen Qingyun took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I've been disobeying him since the day I entered the cabinet. I should have been on his list of people to be eliminated. I don't care about it myself, but this family..."
Chen Qingyun paused, then said, "I can't let them die with me, right?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Master Chen sees things clearly. This is why I'm looking for your cooperation. The Emperor must remove the cabinet. The late Emperor and Taizu wanted to continue the system of the previous dynasty, but the cabinet is obviously no longer suitable for the current Great Yin Kingdom."
"The biggest obstacle to removing the cabinet is Lord Yan. It's been delayed for too long, leading to the current situation."
Chen Qingyun said, "With the political instability and the Phoenix Society around, is now really a good time?"
Ye Chen drank a sip of tea before saying, "When did Lord Chen become so indecisive?"
Chen Qingyun shook his head and said, "I'm just worried. While implementing new policies is important, it needs to be done when the country is stable. Right now, there are no external threats, but internal troubles are constant. It's really not suitable for major changes."
Ye Chen sneered and said, "It is understandable that Lord Chen would consider this. However, you should not think so after seeing this."
Ye Chen took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Qingyun. Chen Qingyun took it and opened it. After just one glance, he stood up and said, "How is it possible? Lord Yan wouldn't be so confused."
Ye Chen said: "Master Chen should have felt it a long time ago, but he just didn't want to admit it, right?"
Chen Qingyun didn't say anything else and slowly sat back in his chair.
Chen Qingyun said: "What do you want me to do?"
Ye Chen picked up the teacup and said, "Force him to take action."
Chen Qingyun said in disbelief: "Force him to rebel?"
Ye Chen just blew the tea leaves in the teacup without answering. Since Chen Qingyun was able to sit in his current position, he should have thought about the pros and cons very clearly and seen them clearly. There was no need for him to deliberately point it out.
Then Ye Chen stood up and said, "It's almost the end of the year. Few people will be able to have a peaceful New Year."
"Master Chen, we don't have much time."
Chen Qingyun looked at the letter in his hand, then returned it to Ye Chen and nodded at him, saying, "I know what to do."
Ye Chen was about to go out, but stopped and said, "Master Chen, it's best not to let anyone at home go out during this period of time, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Chen Qingyun narrowed his eyes and said, "The Duke is still dreaming..."
Before Chen Qingyun could finish his words, Ye Chen interrupted him and said, "I don't hate anyone, I just don't want any unnecessary changes to our plan." Then he left.
In the previous life, Yan Qinglian was eliminated two years later. At that time, Yan Qinglian captured Gu Ruojin and threatened him and Chen Qingyun. When he went to rescue Gu Ruojin, Qiu'er went to find him again, which led to Qiu'er's death.
So he reminded Chen Qingyun and avoided some unnecessary trouble.
When Ye Chen returned to the Duke's Mansion, he just happened to have lunch. Shen Qiu's belly was already bulging. Madam Xiao was afraid that something might happen to her on the way back and forth, so she didn't allow her to go to Rongwei Hall every day.
Ye Chen warmed himself up and helped Chen Qiu sit down.
Shen Qiu looked at Ye Chen's unconsciously frowned brow and said, "But what's the big deal?"
"Every time you frown unconsciously, something is about to happen."
Ye Chen slowly relaxed his frown. Chen Qiu looked at his awkward expression and reached out to touch his brow.
Ye Chen grabbed Chen Qiu's hand, then brought it to his lips and kissed it, saying, "Sit down and I'll tell you slowly about what's going on in the court."
Helping Chen Qiu to sit down, Ye Chen sat beside Chen Qiu and picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of sweet and sour fish for Chen Qiu.
"The Emperor wants to implement new policies, but he's encountered some obstacles. There will be major moves before the New Year, so don't go out during this period."
Then he reached out and touched Chen Qiu's bulging belly, "Only when you are well can I work with peace of mind."
"Qiu'er, don't take risks again. This time I will keep the danger out of the door."
Chen Qiu put his hand on Ye Chen's and said, "When you are going to take action, tell me. I will go to Rongwei Hall to be with my grandparents. It is always good for the family to be together."
Ye Chen held Chen Qiu in his arms and stopped talking.
