Chen Yanchuan did not hide it,
"There's some progress."
Shen Youyan knows his son best. Since he said this, his goal has basically been made clear.
"It seems that you have put in a lot of effort since returning to Beijing."
To find this information in such a short time requires an extremely large information network and keen observation.
Chen Yanchuan obviously did it very smoothly.
"Since they're using the title of the former crown prince, it's actually easier to investigate," Chen Yanchuan said. "But they haven't been able to come to the capital yet, so we can't see them. We'll have to spend some time sending people to verify it."
If other people heard this, they would probably think that Chen Yanchuan was too presumptuous.
But Shen Youyan won't.
Because they all firmly believed that the rebels would never be able to reach here.
"Do you have a suitable candidate?"
To do the "verification", we have to know something about the "former crown prince", but now no one knows who he is, so how can we choose someone?
Chen Yanchuan nodded, "There is one."
Shen Youyan seemed to be thinking about it. "You mean, the one in the mansion?"
He had been back for some time, so of course he knew that there was a new person in the mansion, but Chen Yanchuan had never mentioned it before, so he didn't ask.
Now, it matches.
As expected, Chen Yanchuan nodded, "It's him. I was just about to talk to you about this. That person... I wonder if you knew him before?"
Shen Youyan narrowed his eyes, "Me?"
Chen Yanchuan paused, "He said he knew you."
…
Princess Qinyang knew nothing about what happened after the Marquis Dingbei's Mansion.
But she did not return to the Princess's Mansion immediately, but went straight to the Ye family.
——The eldest princess has Shen Youyan to help intercede, so there won’t be any problems. The only one left is Ye Chutang.
She has very few friends in Beijing, and the only one she values so much is Ye Chutang.
Riding at full speed, Princess Qinyang arrived at the gate of Ye Mansion and saw a familiar figure at a glance.
"Long Jiu? Why are you here?"
Long Jiu looked over upon hearing the voice and immediately bowed, "Princess."
Princess Qinyang noticed the envelope in his hand with her sharp eyes and became even more surprised.
"Why, your young master is not feeling well again?"
Long Jiu hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I came here on the orders of my master to say goodbye to Miss Ye Er."
"Goodbye? Are you leaving?"
"Exactly."
Long Jiu said respectfully,
"Thanks to Miss Ye Er's care during this period, my son's health has improved a lot. I am very grateful. I wanted to come here in person to say goodbye, but I was afraid of being sad when we met, so..."
Princess Qinyang nodded in understanding.
Xun Cheng came to Beijing in the first place because he helped Ye Chutang pass a message to Ye Yunfeng, helping him save Longcheng and making great contributions.
Now Ye Yunfeng...if we meet again, I can't help but think of the past and feel even more sad.
It’s better not to meet.
"Give me this letter. I happen to have something to do with Chu Tang, so I'll pass it on to your young master."
While the two were talking, a servant came over and opened the door.
"Princess?"
Long Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, I'll trouble you, Princess."
…
Princess Qinyang carried the letter and followed the servant inside.
The Ye Mansion is now deserted and the air is filled with sadness.
Princess Qinyang's footsteps also became heavy.
Fortunately, she saw Ye Chutang soon.
The weather was hot, and there were ice cubes in the house. Xiaowu was sitting by the window reading a book obediently.
After not seeing her for a while, she seemed to have grown up a lot.
"Chutang, Xiaowu, I'm here."
Ye Chutang turned around and saw Xiaowu standing up to greet her.
For some reason, Princess Qinyang felt that Xiaowu seemed to have changed, but she couldn't tell what had changed.
She didn't dare ask more questions and just gently rubbed Xiaowu's hair.
After all, she knew how deep Xiaowu's relationship with Ye Yunfeng was.
"Chu Tang, I came here to tell you something important."
She handed over the letter.
"Long Jiu just came to send this off. He said his master is leaving. Besides, I'm leaving too."
Ye Chutang opened the envelope and saw only a few numbers on it.
"He's going back to Louyang, what about the princess?"
Princess Qinyang carefully observed her expression and pursed her lips. "I plan to go to Longcheng first, and then take a look around the area."
She didn't dare mention Duzhou.
Ye Chutang's expression remained calm as he nodded in understanding. "Is the princess worried about Prince Yannan?"
Prince Yannan is now overwhelmed with tasks. If Princess Qinyang could go and help, it would make things easier.
"yes."
Princess Qinyang felt a little relieved.
"My father still has to deal with the rebels. I've been to the border before, so maybe I can help out a bit."
Ye Chutang put the letter away, looked up and nodded slightly to her.
"My princess, you are doing this for the people living on the border. However, the battlefield is full of dangers, so please be careful."
Princess Qinyang originally thought that she would dissuade her, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that she had underestimated the other party.
She took a deep breath, her expression becoming more determined.
"Nan Hu's sudden attack is truly shameful! Chu Tang, don't worry, I will make them pay the price this time I go! I—"
She lowered her voice and spoke in a grave tone.
"I will avenge the soldiers who died in vain at the border!"
Ye Chutang looked at her and naturally knew what she was thinking - of course, those soldiers also included Afeng.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here specially.
Ye Chutang did not tell anyone that the black coffin did not contain Afeng's body.
First of all, she really doesn't have any definite news about Afeng yet.
Secondly, if the news of Afeng's death in battle spreads, it will definitely make the Nanhu people relax their vigilance.
This may create a perfect opportunity for a counterattack.
So she never revealed it even to the Princess of Qinyang.
After a long time, Ye Chutang nodded, speaking word by word.
"My Lord, you are so righteous. I am deeply grateful."
…
Princess Qinyang spoke for a while and left with a pot of snow drink.
She has always been decisive and will not delay once she makes a decision.
When Ye Jingyan came back, it was already dark.
The Imperial College has resumed classes, but the weather is too hot, and news about Afeng is everywhere. In order to have some peace and quiet, he goes to class every day and mostly comes back to stay at night.
He also brought a bag of lotus seed cakes for Xiaowu.
"Lin's Dim Sum Shop is open, and there's quite a long line. It took a while."
As he spoke, he handed it to Xiao Wu.
"Try it, is it delicious?"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and he put down his pen again. He washed his hands, took out a piece, and gave it to Ye Chutang first.
Ye Chutang took a bite and said, "It's delicious."
Xiaowu fed himself another piece and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"...Thank you, thank you, Third Brother..."
She spoke intermittently, her childish voice slightly hoarse, with a soft, rustling and sweet texture.
Ye Jingyan smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
As he said this, he glanced at Xiaowu's words again and sighed softly.
"My handwriting is getting better and better as I practice it."
Xiaowu smiled shyly.
Ever since she was able to speak again, Ye Chutang and Ye Jingyan could finally put down the stone in their hearts.
Perhaps it was because she was too young when she lost her voice. Although she can speak again now, she still cannot say too many complex words for the time being.
Most of the time, she only spoke in front of Ye Chutang and Ye Jingyan.
So the servants in the mansion still don’t know that Xiaowu can speak.
Ye Chutang knew that it would take some time for her to develop the ability to speak, so she was not in a hurry.
"Xiaowu has been working very hard recently."
Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly.
"She said she wanted to work as hard as her third brother." (End of this chapter)
