Chapter 301: Homeward Journey (Part 2)
But he didn't have the courage to ask this question out loud. Of course he had to obey his master's orders.
"yes."
Although Miss Ye Er's behavior this time was very low-key, there were too many people in the capital who liked to join in the fun.
With so many things happening one after another, I'm afraid there are still many eyes watching her in secret.
We should also provide more protection.
Lian Zhou raised his eyes to look at his master again. Seeing that his expression was indifferent, he could not help but ask in a low voice: "Master, do you want to go to Yunlai Tavern to take a look?"
Chen Yanchuan didn't say anything, just glanced at him lightly.
“No need.”
Lian Zhou felt a sudden chill on his spine, thinking that this was a bad idea, and he retracted his neck in shame.
He slapped himself in regret - this mouth! You are really bringing up something that is not related to the topic!
Before, I had only been thinking about my master for so long that I didn't even know what the cheapest chrysanthemum drink tasted like, let alone the snow drink. However, I forgot that Miss Ye is no longer in the capital. Even if the master went to the Yunlai Tavern in person and drank the best wine, what would be the point?
——After all, he asked for it himself, it wasn’t given to him by others!
Chen Yanchuan sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, thinking calmly -
That's all.
A few pots of wine were nothing. He had even drunk the medicine she had brewed herself.
Well, these people are far inferior to him.
…
After leaving Jiuhua Mountain, the group continued along the official road.
The carriage moved slowly, and Xiaowu fell asleep in Ye Yunfeng's arms.
She got up early today and went up and down the mountain, and her small body was really tired.
But she slept well.
Ye Chutang was holding a black sandalwood box, inside of which was a handful of blood and soil taken from his father and mother's graves.
It was getting dark outside.
Ye Jingyan glanced outside.
"At this rate, we will be able to reach Qingzhou in seven or eight days."
The sky is clear and the air is crisp in September, so the roads are easy to travel on, and you will indeed be able to go much faster.
Ye Chutang nodded and said:
"We've waited for three years. There's no need to rush. Just take your time."
Xiaowu seemed to be having a nightmare and moved restlessly in Ye Yunfeng's arms.
Ye Yunfeng patted her gently and hugged her even tighter.
Xiaowu gradually calmed down and buried his chubby little face in his arms.
After she fell asleep peacefully again, Ye Yunfeng raised his head and asked, "Sister, are we going to stay there for a while longer this time?"
Ye Chutang had specially asked the two of them to take a month off.
At normal speed, it wouldn't take them that long to travel to Qingzhou and back.
After thinking about it, he guessed that his sister had not returned to Qingzhou for a long time and planned to take this opportunity to stay for a few more days.
He said with some nostalgia: "We haven't been back for several years. I don't know if there have been any changes at home."
Ye Chutang looked at his expression and was distracted for a moment.
When she was reborn in this world, she was already in the capital. As for Qingzhou, it was just a distant hometown in the original owner's memory.
For a frail girl of thirteen or fourteen who had never traveled far, the distance from Qingzhou to the capital was the longest distance she could imagine.
It is her long journey from life to death.
For Ye Chutang now, it is “going” to Qingzhou, not “returning”.
But for Ayan and Afeng, it was a real return to the place where they grew up.
Compared to the capital, they are obviously more familiar with Qingzhou and have deeper feelings for it.
Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly: "Yes. This opportunity is rare, so I have to stay for a while."
Ye Yunfeng thought of something and the smile on his face faded a lot.
"...Actually there aren't many people there anymore, so whether there are any changes or not doesn't really matter."
The elders in the family passed away many years ago. The two brothers of the Ye family were born in a poor family and they earned a place in the family by relying on their talent for studying.
Especially Ye Zheng, if nothing had happened, he would have a bright future now.
But there are no ifs in this world.
“Let’s go back and worship our ancestors and give an explanation to our parents and brother.” Ye Chutang said in a gentle voice.
Ye Jingyan said, "Don't worry, sister. We have already sent people back to clean up and tidy up in advance according to your instructions. When we return to Qingzhou, we can move directly into the old house."
He always does things thoroughly, so Ye Chutang is very relieved.
"good."
…
Prince Qi's Palace.
Xiao Chengxuan lived in peace for quite a while, studying and practicing archery every day, no longer caring about anything happening outside.
He showed a posture of self-reflection.
However, only he himself knew that he was almost going crazy with anxiety.
The third brother returned with military merits and his reputation has risen to a new level. It is obvious that his father is also willing to support him. I heard that he even openly praised him in the court recently.
But he could only be trapped in this mansion and could do nothing!
If it weren't for his grandfather's strict instructions, asking him to stay in the mansion obediently for the time being and help deal with everything outside, Xiao Chengxuan would have been unable to sit still long ago.
"Calculating the time, Ye Heng will arrive in Tongbei in more than a month, right?"
The attendant replied in a low voice: "If there are no special circumstances on the way, it will be this time."
Xiao Chengxuan looked gloomy.
Before, he had wanted to kill Ye Heng directly to get the matter over with, so that he wouldn't spit out something that shouldn't come out of his mouth.
But later he changed his mind and decided to spare Ye Heng's life first, and then take his life quietly after the storm was over.
Because of Huo Yucheng's case, his father was furious, and whatever he did at this time would be wrong.
Once someone with ulterior motives catches him and makes trouble for him... it won't be solved by just killing Ye Heng.
Anyway, the situation has become like this now, so we might as well wait and see.
Xiao Chengxuan shook his head and put these chaotic thoughts behind him.
“I heard that Chen Yanchuan went to Changzhou?”
"To reply to your Highness, yes. The Prince of Dingbei left the capital yesterday."
Xiao Chengxuan sneered.
"There's nothing in Changzhou, it's useless for him to go there!"
They all knew the purpose of Shen Yanchuan's trip.
But unfortunately, he was going to be disappointed.
Xiao Chengxuan tilted his head and ordered: "Has the message been passed to Xu Jie?"
The attendant bowed his head and replied respectfully, "Yes. Although Lord Xu is not in the capital, he is well-informed. Even if you don't tell him, he should know it early."
Xiao Chengxuan certainly knew this. He did this just to make Xu Jie do him a favor and to send a signal that they were still in the same boat.
"Let him go. If he can really find out something, it's considered that he has some ability." Xiao Chengxuan narrowed his eyes and smiled sarcastically, "Wait until he solves all those troubles and comes back safely!"
Xu Jie is not a coward and knows what to do, otherwise he would not have come to him in the first place.
The attendants naturally agreed.
"Your Highness is a man of long-term considerations. These things are nothing to worry about."
Xiao Chengxuan closed his eyes. Reading really made him irritable.
He leaned back, raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, and then asked casually:
"What's going on over there recently?"
