Chapter 232 Ye Yao's Story
Chapter 232 Ye Yao's Story
The breeze is rustling and the candlelight is burning.
In the Yexuan Palace of Prince Yan's Mansion, Xiao Hanye lazily leaned on a chair and said faintly: "So, the person who stole the military defense map back then was actually Chu Zhaoyu."
He placed the thick stack of documents in his hand on the table.
Things are gradually becoming clear.
Back then, Chu Zhaoyu used his appearance that was exactly the same as Chu Zhaoming to obtain the military defense map and presented it to the Emperor of Nanye, thus gaining the trust of the Emperor of Nanye and securing an important position for himself in Nanye.
Feng Chuan replied, "For so many years, Chu Zhaoyu has been wandering between Beixiao and Nanye. I wonder what kind of shocking conspiracy he is brewing? Moreover, with our ability, we can't infiltrate the Nanye royal family at all, so we can't find out Chu Zhaoyu's true identity in Nanye."
Xiao Hanye narrowed his eyes slowly and said sarcastically, "Real identity? He never reveals his true identity to anyone."
The leader of Shadow Pavilion! Controlling the royal family of Beixiao! Controlling the royal family of Nanye... Chu Zhaoyu really has too many identities.
"Control the royal family of Nanye Kingdom?" Xiao Hanye thought thoughtfully.
Suddenly, the image of the half-masked black guard behind Ye Xiu at the palace banquet suddenly popped up in his mind. That look seemed familiar...
Could it be that Chu Zhaoyu was in disguise?
Feng Chuan looked at him cautiously. He knew the other side of the story just by hearing him speak. He guessed, "The biological mother of the Crown Prince of Nanye is the daughter of a merchant. Although the Crown Prince of Nanye is indeed a rare talent, according to the royal hierarchy system, he would never have been the Crown Prince. But three years ago, he suddenly became very successful. He built water conservancy projects, improved the imperial examination system, and controlled the plague... He also had unique insights into marching and deployment. This is how he caught the eye of the Emperor of Nanye. In addition, he was known as a wise king among the people. As the old Emperor of Nanye was in poor health, he was made the Crown Prince ahead of schedule."
"If it wasn't that Crown Prince Nanye had been trying to keep a low profile before, then there must be someone behind the scenes directing him."
Xiao Hanye looked at Feng Chuan approvingly, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Perhaps we can have both and get what we need?"
The lower a person's social status is, the more he desires power.
Feng Chuan nodded in agreement and said, "Your Majesty is indeed thoughtful."
Xiao Hanye replied: "Send someone to keep a close eye on Crown Prince Nanye."
Fengchuan bowed his head and accepted the order.
"Also, pick out the information about the military defense map that Chu Zhaoyu stole and send it to Chu Ziyu!"
Feng Chuan was a little worried: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that Master Chu won't be able to protect these materials?"
Xiao Hanye said unconcernedly, "If you can't even protect some information, how can you seek justice for your father?"
If you can't protect it, you will be depressed for the rest of your life.
Fengchuan opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to accept the order unconditionally.
Xiao Hanye narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "It is impossible for a person in a high position to be able to do everything. If I entrust someone with an order and force him to do things according to his rules, it would be better to change him to someone with greater ability. Since I have chosen him, I will give him the opportunity to show his skills, unless he is unworthy of the position!"
"You are the most capable person under my command, and you should continue to be so in the future."
Feng Chuan is a steady person who has both means and vision. In the past, because he was poisoned, he had to be assigned as his personal bodyguard. Now that he has Chu Nanyue, he will naturally not be restrained anymore. In the future, he will entrust him with important tasks.
Feng Chuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty. I understand!"
After saying this, he withdrew respectfully.
Xiao Hanye bowed his head and looked out the window at the night. He suddenly felt that the night was long. He counted the time with his fingers. It seemed that there were still many days until June 19th...
He regretted agreeing to Chu Nanyue...
He had no idea that he was currently being sexually fantasized about by a certain princess.
Ye Yao was enjoying the kiss, and was afraid that the man under her would refuse, so she took the initiative to take out things for him, intending to be self-sufficient...but unexpectedly someone pushed her away with great force, and saw that King Yan was standing with his hands behind his back, staring at her grimly.
There are actually two Kings of Yan?
Ye Yao screamed in fright and woke up suddenly.
This time I really woke up.
She stared at the flowing bed curtains for a long time before she realized that she was having a dream within a dream!
It does not make sense?
Suddenly, she burst into tears.
Damn, this is so bullying.
Even in her dreams she is not allowed to get that man.
She was going to find him and ask him for the truth.
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Ye Yao took advantage of the darkness at night and found a black hooded cloak. She avoided the patrolling guards and climbed over the wall to leave.
It is true that she is willful, dares to love and hate, but it is also true that she is afraid of the Crown Prince.
So, we still need to be low-key.
She knew that Prince Yan did not stay in Prince Yan's Mansion but lived in Beiyuan instead.
So she went straight to Beiyuan.
But Ye Yao obviously overestimated her abilities. She was not familiar with the terrain of the capital city at all. In addition, it was a quiet night and the streets were empty. She couldn't find anyone, not even a dog.
Instead, she heard a baby crying. She looked for the person who was crying. When she lowered her eyes, she saw... a cat...
The cat that was in heat in the middle of the night also looked up in surprise, but when it found that it was a woman, it was extremely disappointed. It let out a shrill howl at her, then jumped onto the roof and disappeared.
Ye Yao was so scared that she let out a pig-killing cry...
She looked up at the few stars in the sky, and heard the strange rustling of leaves, which made her feel a little creepy...
"Forget it, forget it. It's really dark tonight. I'll come back tomorrow night after I get a fire."
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Succumbing to the fear in her heart, she quickly found a perfect excuse for herself, climbed over the wall and rolled back to the inn to sleep.
On the second night, she really set out again with a torch in her hand.
The magic of love is invincible, especially for a love-brained woman. She is really attracted by the handsome face of Prince Yan. How could there be such a handsome man in the world?
Since it was her second time and she had enough equipment with her, she was very familiar with the driving this time and soon arrived at Beiyuan.
However, because Beiyuan and Chu Mansion were adjacent houses and looked exactly the same, and Ye Yao was so excited that she didn't even look at the plaque carefully, and she climbed up the wall of Chu Mansion...
At this time, Du Fei and Si Zhu on the roof were holding their swords and closing their eyes to rest, but when the clumsily wriggling big butt appeared on the wall, they both suddenly opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other, with the same expression in their eyes.
"You come!"
"You come!"
Obviously, neither of them was willing to take action against a thief of this level, but the next second, they flew down together again.
Xiao Tao, who was using the toilet, suddenly saw a large mass of unknown things wriggling on the wall. She trembled and cried out in fear: "Ah... There is a ghost! Help!"
Her goose cry not only woke up the Chu family, but also startled an unknown creature.
The unknown creature's skills were not very good, but she liked to pretend to be a chivalrous woman. This time, she lost her balance and fell straight off the wall, landing on her back...
Chu Ziyu stepped forward with a torch in hand and asked, "Who is it?"
Seeing that the unknown object didn't reply, Du Fei, who was holding her, stepped forward and kicked her fiercely: "Speak!"
"Ouch! It hurts!" It wasn't that the unknown object didn't reply. It was obvious that she hadn't recovered from the pain of falling from the wall just now. Now she was kicked hard. It hurt so much that she groaned.
"Female thief?" Su Xi said.
This was probably the first time they had seen an assassin whining endlessly before he had even started to do anything. Du Fei and Si Zhu were stunned for a moment.
After a long while, Ye Yao finally recovered and cursed: "How dare you, a bunch of dogs and slaves, beat up Princess Nanye? I will let King Yan chop off all your heads!"
She thought that the people in front of her were servants of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Xiao Tao snorted: "If you, the idiot who climbed over someone else's wall in the middle of the night, are Princess Nanye, then I am the Queen Mother in heaven. Princess Nanye, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself, with disheveled hair, hunched back and slumped shoulders..."
"You bitch, I will kill you first!" Ye Yao had never been humiliated like this before, so she shouted angrily.
If she becomes the Princess of Yan in the future, she will definitely clean up the backyard of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
"Shut up!" Chu Ziyu shouted, "Xiao Tao, call Ah Yue out."
Soon, Chu Nanyue came out of the house, holding a torch and taking a closer look...
Oh my goodness!
It really is Princess Nanye.
She quickly said, "Du Fei, quickly let go of Princess Nan Ye."
Seeing her identity confirmed, Ye Yao looked at Du Fei who was holding her with great pride and said, "Very good, that dog slave was very arrogant when he kicked me just now! Kneel down for me!"
Du Fei didn't say anything but looked at Chu Ziyu.
He was the secret guard assigned to Chu Ziyu by the King of Yan, and he only took orders from him.
Chu Ziyu said directly: "What's wrong with him being loyal to his master? But what is Princess Nanye trying to do by climbing over the wall of our Chu family in the middle of the night? According to the laws of our Beixiao Kingdom, we have the power to take you to the authorities!"
His voice was not loud, but it was full of momentum, causing Ye Yao to look up at him: "A guard dog is so arrogant, I want to see the King of Yan!"
Chu Ziyu sneered: "If you want to see Prince Yan, go to Prince Yan's Mansion!"
Ye Yao didn't notice that she had climbed the wrong wall. She curled her lips and said, "Prince Yan's Mansion? Everyone knows that Prince Yan has a mansion but he doesn't live there. He lives in Beiyuan!" Then, she shouted at the top of her voice, "Prince Yan! Prince Yan! I want to see you!"
Chu Nanyue frowned and asked, "Why did Princess Nanye meet with the King of Yan in the middle of the night?"
Ye Yao didn't like Chu Nanyue, so she raised her chin and said, "That's a secret between me and the King of Yan."
Chu Nanyue replied: "If it is a secret, then why did Princess Nanye come to our Chu family?"
Xiao Tao hit the nail on the head and reminded her quietly, "Princess, Princess Nan Ye probably wanted to climb the wall of Beiyuan, but she couldn't read and climbed the wrong wall."
The answer is, she also went through the wrong door.
Sure enough, Ye Yao frowned and said, "Your Chu family? This is your Chu family?"
That's not right, she clearly saw Beiyuan.
"Could it be possible?" Chu Nanyue pointed towards the stairs between the two courtyards.
"Ah!" Ye Yao slapped her forehead, feeling a little embarrassed. Then, she quickly climbed the stairs at lightning speed.
As long as she runs fast enough, embarrassment can't catch up with her.
“Princess, chase after him!” Xiao Tao took Chu Nanyue’s hand and was about to run after him.
"Why should I run?" Chu Nanyue said calmly as she brushed Xiaotao's hand away.
Su Xi was also very disappointed and said, "Ah Yue, it's a dark and windy night, and we are alone. What do you think Princess Nan Ye is doing here to see the King of Yan?"
Chu Nanyue usually seems quite smart, so why did she fail at the critical moment today?
Chu Nanyue looked at the emperors who were not anxious but the eunuchs who were anxious, and said lightly: "My prince is not next door, go back to your room and sleep, and fight again tomorrow!"
Everyone was completely defeated.
Chu Ziyu chuckled. His sister has such an amazing personality!
Then, he called out to everyone, "Okay, listen to A Yue, go back to your room and go to sleep!"
After saying that, he pulled Su Xi back to the room.
It was a starry night, but for some reason the stars had quietly hidden in the clouds.
"Xier?" Chu Ziyu called out tentatively.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear any response. Just when he was about to close his eyes and rest, he felt something warm in his arms. He said in surprise, "Xi'er!"
"Ok!"
Su Xi replied shyly, and then climbed up...
Chu Ziyu's legs are still recovering, so after half a month of training, she has learned...
Chu Ziyu had a seductive smile on his lips, and he murmured, "Xier..."
"Yeah!" Su Xi responded again, "I'm here!"
Chu Ziyu pursed his lips and didn't say anything in response.
In fact, Su Xi misunderstood his meaning. He called her not for this matter, but because he was going to leave her for two months...
But, they just got married not long ago...
Su Xi was immersed in the moment and didn't notice his abnormality at all. In addition, after such a physically demanding activity, she was already very wet, so she just lay down...
Chu Ziyu's eyes darkened, and he stood up...
After the battle, the two hugged each other. Chu Ziyu pursed his lips and finally said, "Xier, I'm going to be away for a while..."
Su Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in surprise, "What is my husband going to do?"
She knew that he had been secretly investigating what happened to their Chu family in the past.
Chu Ziyu felt the nervousness of the person in his arms, and hurriedly stroked him gently: "Xier, don't be nervous, it's not dangerous."
He stroked her shoulder and continued, "Although I am familiar with poetry and literature, I don't know much about the imperial examinations of each session. It's rare that I have met a group of like-minded scholars in Cang Yue, and some of them are preparing for the imperial examinations. So, I plan to go to the Hanmo Academy with them to study."
Hearing this, Su Xi let out a long sigh: "Go!"
For some reason, Chu Ziyu felt a little disappointed when he heard this: "Xi'er, do you really wish that your husband would not come home?"
Su Xi replied seriously: "This is a good thing, my husband must seize this opportunity!"
Chu Ziyu was alone for a while, then he suddenly stood up: "Xier, let's indulge ourselves tonight..."
All men in the world are pigs...
