Chapter 145 Ancient Rebellion Stupid Female Supporting Character 15 Looking for Someone
At midnight on the second day, Yan Mi didn't expect Meipin to sneak in to see her again.
Yan Mi was almost asleep, but when he saw her coming, he had to get up to deal with her.
This time, Meipin still managed to get in through the window smoothly.
She saw Yan Mi was only wearing a thin coat, "Sister, you're going to bed so early."
Yan Mi didn't want to say anything to her at all.
"Did anyone notice you coming here?" Yan Mi asked.
"I guarantee it." Meipin said, patting her chest.
Yan Mi was speechless.
Meipin always came to her secretly without being discovered by the guards, which made her feel that the royal guards in this palace were very weak.
"Then why did you come to see me so late at night? You don't want to talk to me all night long, do you?" Yan Mi sat down and poured her a cup of tea.
Meipin took a sip of tea and found it was cold. "Of course not. I came to see you because I was worried that my sister wouldn't be able to sleep tonight."
Although Yan Mi and Mei Bin didn't spend much time together, she felt that Mei Bin definitely didn't come to her for this reason, and who would come to accompany her in the middle of the night?
"You don't believe it, do you?" asked Meipin.
Yan Mi nodded, "If you don't want to talk, I'll go back and rest."
Meipin quickly stopped her, "No, no, no, don't you know how I've been itching since I delivered the letter for my sister last night? Can you tell me what you sent someone to do in that letter?"
Yan Mi sighed. Seeing her curious and eager look, she seemed to really want to know what she was going to do. She sighed and said bluntly, "The letter I wrote was just a list of names."
Meipin rested her chin on her hands and listened attentively, but Yan Mi stopped listening abruptly after saying this, leaving her at a loss.
She blinked her fox eyes, looking incredulous. "Gone?"
Yan Mi nodded, "What else do you want to hear?"
Meipin pounded the table in dissatisfaction, "We are allies, and you don't tell me anything. This shows that you don't trust me at all!"
Meipin was angry.
Yan Mi held his forehead with his hand. "That list is of talented and ambitious people I have collected. Aren't you going to help catch all the spies from Zhao State? Cheng State will definitely be short of talents by then. I will send people to find those people and win them over in advance, and then enter the court through other channels."
After hearing this, Meipin couldn't help but wonder, "Where did you get the list? And are you really sure you can get them to join you?"
Yan Mi smiled, "Who said it was in my name?"
Meipin was puzzled again, "You are not doing these things under the banner of Han Chengdao, are you?"
Yan Mi gave her a thumbs up.
This time it was Meipin's turn to hold her forehead with her hand. "Why are you doing this? You're so stupid."
"I'm willing. You just need to find those people." Yan Mi did this willingly, and if it weren't for her, Chengguo wouldn't have become what it is now.
The sin of locking her up is actually quite serious, and she can only try to do something to make up for it.
Meipin could only obey her, "It is a very unwise choice to sacrifice for a man."
Yan Mi smelled something unusual, and she asked Meipin maliciously, "So you've been hurt by a man before?"
Meipin's face froze for a moment, and although she quickly adjusted herself, Yan Mi still caught a glimpse of her expression.
It seems that Meipin and Zhao Mingzhang have a deep hatred for each other. No wonder she wants to kill Zhao Mingzhang.
"No, I'm reading storybooks. I happened to bring a few with me. If you feel lonely, you can take a look." Meipin put the book on the table. She didn't want Yan Mi to ask her the same question, so she stood up and walked quickly to the window, waving to Yan Mi, "Goodbye, sister, I'll see you tomorrow night."
Yan Mi watched her climb out and considerately helped her close the window.
She lowered her head to look at the storybook on the table, not very interested in any of this.
Yan Mi is now more inclined to other things.
In fact, she could have bypassed the guards' sight and gone out at any time, and she could have delivered the letter herself, but since Meipin came to her door, Yan Mi didn't have to go out at the risk of being exposed.
Just as Meipin said, she really didn't trust Meipin very much, otherwise she could have revealed more of the contents of the letter to Meipin, or even asked Meipin to help her.
Yan Mi thought a lot and finally hid the storybook under the bed.
One only regrets not having read enough books when one needs them. She should read more military books now.
So when Meipin came to find Yan Mi at the hour of Hai, Yan Mi was sitting in front of a chess table fully dressed, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
Meipin was so beautiful, her eyes sparkling with laughter. "Sister, have you fallen in love with chess again?"
Yan Mi pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down and play the next game."
"I don't know how to do it. I don't want to play chess with you." Meipin shook her head.
Yan Mi said, "I just started learning today. You must be quite good at playing chess. Let's play a game with a novice like me."
Meipin's lips curled up at the praise, "Then my younger sister will play with me for a while."
Half an hour later, Meipin had lost two games in a row. She couldn't believe that she had lost so badly to a novice.
"Are you, are you, are you cheating?" She felt very upset.
Yan Mi shook his head, "I'm just playing chess normally, it's just that your skills are not good enough."
Meipin vomited blood in her heart, "Yan Mi, you are too bullying."
“…” She really just started learning.
Meipin played chess with Yan Mi unwillingly and kept an eye on her all the time, but she didn't expect that she lost several games in a row.
Meipin's heart was broken. "I don't want to play anymore. You can play by yourself."
Watching Meipin run away, Yan Mi laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
Meipin didn't come to see her for several days.
The day for Yan Mi to collect his salary for this month has come again, and everyone is discussing whether they can get their queen's salary this time.
"I think it's probably over. How can I still get a salary if I'm under house arrest?"
"But the Emperor and the Empress had such a good relationship before, why did he suddenly confine the Empress?"
"You're still young, of course you don't understand."
The little palace maid scratched her head in distress.
Yan Mi was still happy during her days of house arrest, because many of the maids in the palace were also very fun, and under her deliberate guidance, many of them had a good relationship with her, but there still had to be rules.
Just as she was thinking about her next move, her close maid came over and said, "My Lady, today is the day to pay our salaries. Do you think they will still send them to us?"
"I don't know." Yan Mi said.
The maid was almost getting anxious to death.
The next second after Yan Mi finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door, "Where is Concubine Jin?"
It was the voice of Eunuch Song.
Yan Mi stood up and walked out of the house.
She hasn't left her room in the past few days. She has become much paler and looks a little haggard.
Eunuch Song had someone take out Yan Mi's salary. He then asked, "Is Concubine Jin doing well?"
Yan Mi nodded, "Very good."
Eunuch Song sighed. He knew the whole thing, and it was understandable that he would suspect Yan Mi. "Then your Majesty, please take a good rest. Perhaps the confinement will be lifted soon."
Yan Mi thanked him without much emotion: "Thank you, eunuch."
Eunuch Song didn't stay any longer and just left.
Originally, delivering the salary was not Eunuch Song's job, but at this time when everyone was in danger, Han Chengdao could only let people he trusted contact Yan Mi.
Eunuch Song completed his mission and returned to Han Chengdao. "Your Majesty, the salary has been delivered."
Han Chengdao was dealing with the memorials and only hummed.
Eunuch Song stood aside and said, "When I saw the queen today, she seemed a little haggard and thinner. Moreover, she looked at me in a low mood."
Han Chengdao still didn't respond.
Eunuch Song sighed, "I don't think it's possible for the Empress to do those things. Your Majesty should investigate thoroughly before punishing her."
Han Chengdao was furious, "Why, do you still think I did something wrong?"
Eunuch Song knelt down and said, "I am afraid that this is all due to a misunderstanding. It would be unworthy if this matter caused a rift between you and the Empress."
Han Chengdao threw the brush in his hand away and said, "Get out of here! I won't let you off easily even if you plead for her again."
Eunuch Song could only shut up.
When he was the only one left, Han Chengdao felt a sharp pain in his chest. The reason why he went to see Yan Mi as Eunuch Song was naturally because he wanted him to see Yan Mi's condition.
For such a serious matter as collaborating with the enemy, he only confined her to his house, which was already enough to show his love for her. What else did he want from her? Did he really have to let Yan Mi ride on his head to show his love for her?
Han Chengdao felt very depressed and his head was aching from time to time.
Now he has found a lot of clues. As long as he can catch those people, he can take action, and then the truth of these things will be revealed.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Mi had been under house arrest for two months.
She hadn't received any letters from Zhao State in the past two months, but Concubine Mei did inform her of the news.
"We've received a letter from the State of Zhao saying they're going to launch an assassination plan, and your identity is top secret. Even if those people are caught, those who know your identity won't give you up," said Mei Bin.
Yan Mi was a little surprised. She didn't expect these people not to take the opportunity to reveal her identity.
"How's the emperor's investigation going?" Yan Mi hadn't been in contact with the outside world for a long time, and didn't quite understand how far the matter had developed.
"We have found out a lot, but with the letter from Zhao this time, Cheng State is likely to be hit hard." Meipin felt a little bit sorry.
"I see." Yan Mi nodded, looking thoughtful.
Meipin's heart skipped a beat, and her fingers began to tremble. "You're not going to help him again, are you?"
"Yeah." Yan Mi nodded.
Meipin felt like she was suffocating. She had liked Yan Mi so much before, but she didn't expect Yan Mi to be a love-brained person. "Feeling sorry for a man will bring retribution."
Yan Mi burst out laughing, "Why are you so resentful towards men?"
Although she helped Han Chengdao, she also had selfish motives. She was not only trying to clear herself, but also for the mission.
"If you don't listen to advice, you will suffer one day." Meipin couldn't persuade him and decided to wait and see what happened to Yan Mi.
Yan Mi said, "Tomorrow, please help me deliver another letter to a man named Sheng Lai in Linxifang to the west."
"Okay." Meipin waved her hand.
When she came to her senses, she had already lost the game.
She threw the chess piece away angrily and said, "I'm leaving. No need to see me off."
After she left, she was so angry that her teeth were bared. She had studied hard for a long time, but she still couldn't beat Yan Mi. It seemed that she was only suitable for dancing, not for playing chess.
And Yan Mi recalled the plot.
Although the hero's country was destroyed later, he made a comeback and easily defeated Zhao Mingzhang.
She remembered that before the fall of Cheng State, there were many people who were loyal to Cheng State. Moreover, in the second half of the plot, Han Chengdao was surrounded by many talented people, and she still remembered many of their names.
Now she has the opportunity to train that group of people in advance, and maybe she can even help Han Chengdao turn the situation around.
