Chapter 198 Still Missing Her
Ye Yunchu should just be conducting a routine inspection of the various prefectures under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with her.
Generally speaking, as long as there are no major problems in the capital, they will leave quickly.
For four years, Ye Yunchu and Xu Wanying have been a loving couple, and they may even have several beloved concubines.
She was just a lowly maidservant, and there was no need for him to worry about her for four years and come to see her specially.
Li Ruanruan smiled softly, but people should not overestimate themselves.
In front of someone like Ye Yunchu, who is she? Don't take yourself too seriously.
He comes and goes as he pleases, and she just avoids him.
Li Runrun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had figured it out, but she still sat on the bed in a daze for a long time.
Government office.
Hu Fenghua went out to greet them, wondering who was making such a grand display, but when he saw that it was Ye Yunchu who came out after pulling aside the curtain.
He immediately grinned, "I was wondering who was making such a big show, it turns out it's me, Big Brother Ye."
Hu Fenghua personally reached out to help Ye Yunchu.
The Tongzhi stared with his eyes wide open. He was worried about this young boy, afraid that he would offend this important person by being careless.
I didn't expect that they knew each other. No wonder they say that all the powerful people in the world are one family.
Speaking of which, isn't this little prince also precious?
The Tongzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was calling him "big brother", they must have a good relationship. There was no need for him to worry about it.
Ye Yunchu did not refuse Hu Fenghua's request. He shook hands with him and got off the carriage.
He was also polite: "Long time no see, little prince."
Hu Fenghua embraced Ye Yunchu, as if they were very familiar with each other, and invited Ye Yunchu inside.
Ye Yunchu looked around as he walked, and asked tentatively: "I wonder if the young prince has married his sweetheart?"
Hu Fenghua smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We haven't even started yet, and the patient hasn't been cured yet. For the time being, we can only cultivate our relationship first."
"So how's the training going?"
Ye Yunchu stared at Hu Fenghua, not missing any change on his face.
Seeing Hu Fenghua blushing for some reason, she seemed to be reminiscing about something.
Ye Yunchu's expression did not change, but his eyes were cold.
Hu Fenghua lowered his head and smiled shyly, then said without any modesty: "Of course she was well-educated. It's just that we haven't gotten married yet, so there's a layer of distance between us. But actually, she and I are pretty good."
Ye Yunchu no longer looked at Hu Fenghua, he looked straight ahead.
Hu Fenghua's words touched Ye Yunchu's weak spot. At this moment, Ye Yunchu had already made eight hundred calculations in his mind.
I've never wanted to kill someone so much, but I still have some rationality.
He remained calm.
Hu Fenghua was still thanking Ye Yunchu: "I left Beijing in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to prepare gifts to go to the Marquis' Mansion to thank Big Brother Ye. I was still thinking about it. Now that Big Brother Ye has come in person, I will definitely ask him to stay for a few more days and ask me to serve him good wine and food. After Big Brother Ye leaves, I will give you a few carts of goodies to take away. They are all treasures that can't be found outside, and they are only available here."
Hu Fenghua patted his chest and looked very grateful to Ye Yunchu.
Ye Yunchu stopped, walked over and looked at the thing buried in the snow.
He squatted down, swept away the snow, and saw a pair of broken jade bracelets, as well as palace-style children's gold and silver bracelets and a makeup box buried in the snow.
Ye Yunchu immediately understood that this was left by Li Runrun. She saw him and ran away in a panic.
Is she so unwilling to see him?
Hu Fenghua also followed, looked down, frowned, and was a little curious: "Why is it broken? It's a pity to lose this bracelet."
Then Hu Fenghua went to dig in the snow to look for the gold and silver bracelets worn by the two children, but he couldn't find them.
I thought it was Li Runrun who took it away, which makes sense.
Maybe Li Runrun accidentally fell and was afraid of meeting the governor. She looked smart, but she was actually quite timid.
I picked it up and left in a hurry.
Hu Fenghua picked up the broken jade bracelet and put it into her makeup box, then handed it to the servant: "You can deal with it. Although this jade is good, it is worthless now that it is broken."
The servant stretched out his hand to tie the knot, feeling happy but not daring to say it.
Even though the jade was broken, being able to hire a skilled craftsman to make some small gadgets out of it is still very valuable, much more valuable than the reward silver.
When the servant passed by, he took a special look at Ye Yunchu, fearing that it was against the rules.
But Ye Yunchu's expression was indifferent. He stood up and walked forward.
The servant followed the crowd, extremely happy.
It’s a great bargain.
I don't want to listen to Hu Fenghua's nonsense. I want to strangle this guy to death when I see him.
Ye Yunchu was invited to a cleaned room to rest on the pretext of being tired from the journey.
But how could he possibly feel sleepy at all?
He pulled out from his sleeves the gold and silver bracelets he had hidden away.
With cold eyes, he used his hands to deform it, and called the secret guards: "Throw it as far as you can, and don't let me see it again."
The secret guard came over and hurriedly did as he was told.
The door was pushed open.
An Ba came in from outside.
Ye Yunchu was holding a cup of tea, his eyes lowered so that his expression could not be seen clearly: "How is she?"
An Ba said, "He went to bed."
"Have you gone to bed, or are you packing up and getting ready to run again?"
Ye Yunchu pinched the teacup in his hand, and the teacup was crushed in his palm, but he didn't even blink: "Where is she going to run to this time so that I can't find her?"
An Ba was silent for a moment before he said, "The concubine doesn't seem to be planning to run away. She's registered here and has a business, so it doesn't look like she's going to run away."
Ye Yunchu seemed not to have heard anything. He looked at the cut on his hand caused by the broken porcelain pieces without blinking: "If she runs away, I will never find her again, right?"
An Ba was silent for a long time, then said, "An Qi is watching closely. He thinks that this time, there's no way that Fang can escape."
"This time the emperor is far away in the capital, who will she find to help her escape? Hu Fenghua? What on earth does she like about this wild man? Is it because he's young? I don't know, she likes young people."
An Ba's mind raced for a moment before he offered a solution: "Send more people to watch Tong Fang and Hu Fenghua, and guard the city gates even more tightly. Ensure not even a fly can escape. Let alone someone you're keeping a close eye on, I won't let her escape from under your nose a second time."
Ye Yunchu's eyes were red. After hearing An Ba's words, he put down his hand and nodded: "Go ahead."
An Ba breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to coax the prince out of his dilemma. This was a bit too scary.
Anba went down to do the work.
Ye Yunchu stood by the window watching the snow. He reached out to catch it, but because his hands were cold, the snowflakes did not melt when they fell, so he caught a few of them in a short while.
Looking at the vast night and heavy snow, Ye Yunchu thought of New Year's Eve that year. He closed his eyes, his heart in turmoil.
In the end, I couldn't help but walk out the door.
Late at night, he rode his horse to the gate of the courtyard where Li Ruanruan lived.
