Chapter 2391 Is there anything wrong with Xu Shifeng?
The next day, after the morning court session, Ye Zheng did not go home directly, but went to the harem.
However, he still did not enter the harem directly.
Instead, he waited at Yuehua Gate.
After waiting for a while, Ran Xiaoyu was seen walking in from outside with two young eunuchs. The two young eunuchs were holding a huge brocade box in their hands, which was obviously filled with something heavy. The two men were walking breathlessly.
Ran Xiaoyu kept reminding them: "Be careful, if you break another corner, I will break your legs."
The two young eunuchs were even more cautious.
As soon as he saw her, Ye Zheng immediately shouted loudly: "Xiaoyu!"
Ran Xiaoyu looked up and saw that it was him. A smile appeared on her face subconsciously, but she immediately pretended to be calm. She led the two young eunuchs over and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting for you!"
“…”
Hearing him say this, the two young eunuchs snickered.
Although their affair was not fully publicized, it was no longer a secret in the harem. Some brave young palace maids would even joke with Ran Xiaoyu when they had nothing to do.
Even Ye Zheng was pestered by the young eunuchs for tips when he came to see her more than once.
Ran Xiaoyu's face couldn't help but turn red.
He immediately scolded: "What are you laughing at?"
"hey-hey."
"Move the things back first. Be careful, this is the order from the Imperial Concubine. Watch out for any broken heads."
The two young eunuchs carried the brocade box away, laughing.
After they were far away, Ran Xiaoyu turned around and glared at him, saying, "Why wait for me somewhere else? Here with so many people coming and going, everyone will see us!"
Ye Zheng smiled and said, "If I hadn't known you were leaving the palace to do some business today, I wouldn't have waited for you here."
"snort!"
"What were you doing outside the palace? I heard you left early this morning."
"Go to the jade shop and get a statue of Guanyin."
"A statue of Guanyin?"
Ye Zheng didn't quite understand what was going on. Ran Xiaoyu simply said, "These were things that Empress Renxiao gave to Your Majesty. Now that Empress Renxiao has passed away, many of her things have been returned to her family. Your Majesty thought that keeping these things would be useless, so it would be better to return them to them as a token of remembrance."
Of course, there are some deeper things involved, but I can’t go into details because I can’t find out.
Ye Zheng nodded: "So that's how it is."
He watched the two young eunuchs disappear into the long corridor, then turned to Ran Xiaoyu and said, "Let's go, let's go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden."
Ran Xiaoyu felt that his expression was different, not the same as usual.
So she followed him to the Imperial Garden.
The two of them walked for a while, and since the place was drafty on all sides, Ye Zheng started sneezing again.
Ran Xiaoyu frowned and said, "You have been like this since the day before yesterday. Did you catch a cold?"
Ye Zheng waved his hand: "It's okay."
“…”
"I'm so strong, it doesn't matter if I get a little cold."
"Stop bragging!"
Ran Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Before in Shazhouwei, you were shot in the chest with an arrow. That was the most damaging to your vitality. You still don't take good care of your body. Do you hope to be bedridden when you are old?"
Hearing this, Ye Zheng glanced at her.
He smiled and said, "Don't you still have it?"
Upon hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned red.
She clenched her fist and punched him hard: "And I want to beat you up, right?!"
The two men played around for a while, and just then, a group of young palace maids hurriedly ran towards the bedroom. The two men stopped, and Ye Zheng said, "Why are they in such a hurry? What are they going to do?"
Ran Xiaoyu took a look.
He said, "I'm afraid he's going to complain to the Empress."
"Oh? I heard that the Imperial Concubine is investigating the harem recently. Why is there such a big commotion?"
"The Queen wants to check something."
"Check something? What is it?"
"If you don't know, don't ask."
Seeing that she was very secretive, Ye Zheng knew that the affairs of the harem were complicated and not something that an outsider could understand.
Then he sighed and said, "Well, anyway, the emperor has handed over the harem to the imperial concubine."
Ran Xiaoyu turned her head and looked at him again, and asked, "By the way, what on earth do you want to see me about today?"
Ye Zheng glanced at her.
He coughed again, then said, "Let me tell you, I'm leaving the capital in two days."
"What?!"
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at him in astonishment: "Where are you going?"
“…”
"Are you going to Shazhouwei again?"
“…”
"Your body hasn't recovered yet!"
Seeing her so anxious, obviously also worried about her, Ye Zheng smiled in his heart and on his face, and said, "So you care about me so much."
Ran Xiaoyu's face darkened: "Who cares if you die!"
Having said that, she wanted to turn around and ignore him, but in the end she couldn't harden her heart, so she turned back to look at him and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"
Ye Zheng smiled and said, "Jinling."
"Jinling?"
Ran Xiaoyu's brows knitted even tighter: "You, what are you doing in Jinling?"
Ye Zheng told her about Sang Nong's disturbance, and then said, "I suspect there's something fishy going on behind these people, so I'm going to ask the emperor for permission to personally investigate."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu didn't speak immediately, but looked at him with a frown.
After a long while, he said solemnly: "Why should I let you go - why do you want to go?"
“…”
"Wouldn't it be better to let someone else go?"
“…”
"If it's true, as you say, that the mulberry farmers there are causing trouble because someone is behind it, and it's very likely that they are the ones manipulating the Sand Bandits in Hot Moon Bay in Shazhouwei, then these people are very scary."
“…”
"If you go, what if there's danger?"
Ye Zheng smiled faintly: "Am I someone who is afraid of danger?"
“…”
"Besides, they set up an arrow against me in Shazhouwei, so I'm going there right now to avenge that arrow!"
Ran Xiaoyu still frowned, looking worried.
Seeing her like this, Ye Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, let me tell you, I'm not the only one going to Jinling to deal with this matter this time."
"Um?"
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned and looked up at him: "Who else?"
A light flashed in Ye Zheng's eyes.
"Also, Xu Shifeng."
“…”
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, she subconsciously took a deep breath.
Although she had no feelings for Xu Shifeng in the past, ever since the incident of the Goddess of Childbirth came to light, she had become involuntarily wary of the Xu family.
Especially the last time, Xu Shifeng saved her outside the jade shop.
Recalling the situation at that time, Ran Xiaoyu was momentarily dazed.
Looking at her, Ye Zheng couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Xu Shifeng?"
