Yucheng.
The border town between Leitai and Dongze is a prosperous gathering place for merchants.
Here, there are all kinds of people, so don't be surprised to see anyone.
There are blondes and blue-eyed ones, as well as dwarfs and giants.
There are old men with long beards and graceful beauties.
There are restaurants, inns, hot spring baths and gambling houses.
This is a place full of temptation and violence.
Dongfang Ye and his group were dressed like businessmen, but he was extremely handsome. As soon as he entered Yucheng, he was noticed. The girls pulled his sleeves to let him go into the house. Dongfang Ye just smiled and said nothing. He continued to move forward. Finally, he arrived at the largest restaurant in the city, stopped his horses and went into the store.
Second floor wing room.
Dongfang Ye walked in. There were already three men waiting in the room. One of them was the mighty Lei Tianwei. Next to him was an old man with a long gown and white beard, and there was a guard standing behind him.
Seeing Dongfang Ye, Lei Tianwei stood up happily: "King Kang, long time no see."
Dongfang Ye greeted him and looked at the old man next to him.
Lei Tianwei said, "Look at me, let me introduce you, this is our national teacher Zaruwa."
“I’ve heard a lot about you.” Dongfang Ye clasped his fists.
Zharuwa also stood up, stroked his long beard and smiled meaningfully: "Today I am honored to meet King Kang. He is indeed a true dragon and phoenix among men... No, he is the appearance of a true dragon and emperor."
His words made Dongfang Ye very happy, but he still shook his head and smiled: "Master, you are too kind..."
"I never flatter anyone. I only tell the truth. Looking at King Kang's face, he is clearly a dragon among men..." At this point, he smiled and said mysteriously, "I will talk about this matter later."
Dongfang Ye also took a seat upon hearing this. He looked at Lei Tianwei and said, "I rushed here as soon as I received the letter from the Crown Prince. I don't know why the Crown Prince is so anxious that I must come here in person?"
Lei Tianwei's face was very mysterious: "Of course, you have to come for this matter, and you can't reveal any news in the letter..."
Dongfang Ye was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Lei, don't keep me in suspense."
"Okay, I might as well tell you straight. It was Master Zharuwa who calculated my sister's horoscope. Do you remember that my sister entered the court to marry Crown Prince Dongfang Jin because she had the fate of a queen. Now she has married you, but her fate has not changed, so I asked you to come here. I don't know if my sister has the fate of a phoenix, do you have any plans to become a dragon?" Lei Tianwei looked at him calmly, not avoiding his gaze.
Dongfang Ye heard this and smiled: "It seems that Brother Lei is already planning for me. It would be boring if I am still hiding something. Besides, I can't hide my thoughts from Brother Lei, right?"
"Well, it can be said that it is frank. Then we will not beat around the bush. What's more, this matter is very important and urgent. If we miss the time, even if we have supernatural powers, we cannot change the facts..." Lei Tianwei said here and looked at the national teacher.
The Imperial Master spoke up, "The princess' fate was determined since she was a child. She is destined to be a phoenix. I have also calculated Dongfang Jin's fate. It is clear that he will have a short life. He should have passed away three years ago, but I don't know why he is still alive. Later, I calculated An Qingran's fate. It was this woman who took me half a year to figure out that she is also destined to be a phoenix. It's just a pity that her fate is short..."
Dongfang Ye was quite surprised when he heard this. He asked in confusion, "Short life? Does that mean she will die soon?"
"It's hard to say about her. She is destined to have a short life, but the fortune shown is a double life. It's really surprising. Fortunately, Dongfang Jin's fate is mainly influenced by her. If this woman's fate is broken, Dongfang Jin will be defeated!" Zaruwa said with certainty.
Dongfang Ye's eyes lit up. Before, when Prince Shou rebelled, he had lost hope. But now that Prince Shou's family was abolished, he became eager to act again. After all, he was only one step away from becoming the emperor. What's more, Dongfang Jin and An Qingran, everything they had should have belonged to him. No, that shouldn't be said. It should be said that everything Dongfang Jin had should belong to him. He had been infected with fetal poison since he was a child and had been dying of illness. Wasn't it because of An Qingran?
So, if he was gone, even An Qingran would be his.
However, after hearing what Zaruwa said, he no longer had any interest in An Qingran: "Master, how do we break An Qingran's fate? Should we kill her?"
"Kill her? It's really not that simple. This matter needs to be carefully considered. We only have one chance, which is eight months later. Of course, just killing her is not enough. We have to use the flesh and blood of her blood relatives who hate her the most as bait. That's why I went to King Kang to ask him in detail, among An Qingran's blood relatives, is there anyone who hates her so much that they want to eat her flesh to vent their hatred?"
Dongfang Ye thought for a moment after hearing this: "If it was her blood relatives who hated her the most, they are all dead. Now her relatives all support her, so they shouldn't have any hatred for her."
"Dead? It's OK if he's dead." Zharuwa lowered his voice when he said this. "King Kang, as long as there are bones left of that person, it's OK."
Dongfang Ye nodded after hearing this. Although this matter sounded unreliable, it made him quite excited.
“Brother Lei and the National Master have supported me so much. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude.” Dongfang Ye said with a smile.
"What gratitude? I also hope that my sister can become the queen of a country, so that my wish as a brother will be fulfilled. Don't think that we Lei Taiguo have any intentions. Let me tell you, we don't! The only selfish motive I have is for my sister. Of course, the son born by my sister will naturally be the prince, right?"
"Of course." Dongfang Ye was stunned for a moment, then said quickly.
"My sister's baby will definitely be a boy, and he will be invaluable. This is what the Imperial Master has already calculated, and it won't be wrong. Don't worry. The only thing you need to do is to make sure Dongfang Jin dies! An Qingran must die too."
Dongfang Ye understood that this time it would be much easier for him to start a rebellion. He would not need any troops or many people's support. As long as Dongfang Jin was dead, the country would naturally be his.
Dongfang Yan committed a serious crime and couldn't even return to Kyoto, so there was no place for him.
Thinking of this, great hope arose in his heart.
It seems that things that were once out of reach can now be easily obtained.
He didn't react for a moment.
It turns out that life can be so mysterious. He was so reluctant when he married Lei Yuezhu.
He raised his glass, toasted the two, and drank it all in one gulp: "If I can accomplish this, I will certainly not forget your kindness."
"I said, I'm not here for you, but for my sister." Lei Tianwei waved his hand. "Today, since you're here, you can stay here for a few more days. I can show my hospitality... Oh, this isn't Lei Tai, but it's closer to my territory. If you don't mind, you can come back with me and I'll treat you well."
Dongfang Ye shook his head slowly: "I only relied on a month's vacation to travel this time, and now it has been more than ten days. If I don't return by then, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
"Well, it doesn't matter if we talk for a day or two. When you ascend the throne in the future, I will go to congratulate you. Then, you can entertain me." Lei Tianwei smiled and said generously.
East
Ye Junmei also smiled. It was the first time someone said he was truly destined to be a dragon. It was the first time someone said Dongfang Jin would be short-lived. This really touched his heart. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses...
After staying in Yucheng for two days, Dongfang Ye set out to return to Kyoto.
On the way back this time, my mood was completely different.
He was even heavier than when he came because there were countless things to do.
First of all, he had to appease the women in his family so that they would not cause trouble for him at this time. Also, since Lei Yuezhu was destined to be a phoenix, he could no longer ignore her as before.
**********************
Shouwang Mansion.
West Courtyard
With a crisp sound, the cup fragments flew everywhere. The maid Xiaoqiao hurriedly blocked Zhong Min'er's way and said, "Miss, don't hurt yourself. If you have any anger, just vent it on me. If someone gets the news to the East Courtyard or the son-in-law, it will be a disaster."
"Is it a big deal? I just broke a cup, how can it be a big deal?" Zhong Min'er frowned, with the corners of her mouth turned down, sneering.
"Miss, what is the reason? Why are you so angry so early in the morning? Even if it's not for yourself, it's for the baby in your belly, right?"
"Child? Does anyone still care about this child? That Princess Ruoxue, what kind of princess is that? Doesn't she understand the ways of the world? I think she clearly looks down on me. It's okay if she looks down on me, but I'm their family's savior, and the baby in my belly is also from their Dongfang family. She treats me like this, and she's not afraid..." Zhong Min'er finally lowered her voice a little when she said this, "Didn't she just give birth to Lian Qingcheng? Little girl, how can I be proud of her? The doctor said that my baby is a boy, humph!"
At this point, her mood improved and her back straightened up: "I want to eat bird's nest."
Xiaoqiao showed a trace of embarrassment on her face: "Miss, I went to the kitchen yesterday, but there was only a little bird's nest. It was said to be for the Crown Prince's wife to replenish her body. She has been suffering from insomnia recently..."
"Who is more important, her or me? I really need to eat some tonic food right now. Besides, can't you buy it yourself? Can't our Zhong family even afford this bird's nest? When I was at home, I didn't even take the blood swallow seriously... By the way, why haven't you replied to my letter yet? Didn't your letter arrive?"
"Miss, I delivered my letter, but the master and his wife did not reply. I don't know why. Or, they may have to come in person. Anyway, it's only a day's journey." Xiaoqiao advised softly. Seeing that Zhong Min'er looked a little better, she whispered again, "Miss, you should go to the East Courtyard if you have nothing to do. No matter what, the Crown Prince's Consort is the original wife of the son-in-law, or the principal wife. Now..."
"How dare you bring this up? I've been here for so long. Whether Dongfang Run mentions it or not, I originally thought she was at least a co-wife, but now she doesn't even have a status. Outsiders think she's a concubine." Zhong Min'er's face darkened again. "Okay, I'll go find Dongfang Run right now. Since I came back, he hasn't even spent a night with me. What's wrong? Is he going to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
"Miss, please keep your voice down. The son-in-law has not come to our courtyard, and he has not gone to the East Courtyard either. If you make a scene like this, the son-in-law will get angry and go to the East Courtyard. What if he does? By then, it will be too late for you to regret it."
After hearing this, Zhong Min'er calmed down. She gritted her teeth and said, "This is bad. No matter what I do, it's wrong..."
"Miss, you don't have to worry too much. Doesn't your uncle come to see you every day?"
"Doesn't he go to the East Courtyard every day? He looks at his son every day. The more I look at that child, the more I dislike him. He is just like his mother, with a coquettish look. He only knows how to play tricks and monopolize Dongfang Run. If I had known this would happen, I would rather not come back. It would be so much better to stay in Qi Town." Zhong Min'er certainly missed her previous life.
She finally calmed down and sat there in a daze.
At this moment, Lou Wanyue outside the study door was even more restless than her.
She hesitated for a long time holding the ginseng soup before finally knocking on the door. When she heard Dongfang Run's voice, she gently pushed the door open.
Dongfang Run was sitting at the desk, holding a scroll in his hand. He seemed a little surprised to see her, put the book down and looked at her inquiringly.
Lou Wanyue smiled faintly and placed the tray on the table: "Prince, this is the ginseng soup I made myself. It may be good for restoring your memory."
"Thank you for your help." There was a distant and polite tone in his voice.
Lou Wanyue had a hint of embarrassment on her face. Dongfang Run seemed to have thought of something, so he asked, "Where's Xin'er? Why didn't she come with you?"
"Xin'er was too tired from playing yesterday and got up late today. If he was awake, why wouldn't he come with me?"
Dongfang Run heard this and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Yes."
Then Lou Wanyue didn't know what to say. She was very angry at her own poor speaking skills.
If An Qingran had said anything, she and Dongfang Run wouldn't have come to this point today.
When An Qingran was mentioned, her heart began beating wildly again.
"Is there anything else?" Dongfang Run finally couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere anymore and spoke.
Lou Wanyue said "oh" and then suddenly remembered, "Oh, right, Ruoxue came over yesterday and said that Daddy and Mommy really want to see you. Lian Muhan went to ask the emperor for help, but there is still no reply. Why don't you write a personal letter and ask them to give it to Daddy and Mommy to relieve their pain of missing you."
"Okay, I'll write it, but... I can't remember what they look like at all, and I can't remember anything about the past. Please tell me about it." Dongfang Run sighed.
Lou Wanyue sat down and talked about a few interesting things that happened in the past.
Dongfang Run looked very serious when he listened to her.
Lou Wanyue felt better. It turned out that he was not against the past and he also wanted to recall the past.
