Adorable Food Goddess

The next day, before dawn, Ye Jiayao was awakened by a knock on the door. It was still dark outside the house. Qiao Xi, who was sleeping outside, lit a candle and opened the door.

Xia Chunyu came in with a cold and damp breath.

Ye Jiayao hurriedly put on her coat and didn't have time to ask anything. She quickly told Qiao Xi, "Go prepare hot water and ask Xiang Tao to get up and serve."

Qiao Xi went to do it immediately. Ye Jiayao opened the closet, got clean cotton clothes for him, and then went to the clean room to get cotton handkerchiefs.

Xia Chunyu took off his wet clothes by the brazier, took the cotton handkerchief and wiped it randomly, then picked up the clean and soft cotton clothes and put them on.

Hot water was brought in quickly, and Xia Chunyu washed his face before getting ready.

Ye Jiayao kept handing things around while observing his expression. His face was still stained with frost and snow, which made him look a little pale. His dark eyes sunk deeply into the dark night sea. Although he had tried his best It's restrained, but you can still see the cold current inside.

Xiangtao held out the hot tea, but Xia Chunyu didn't take it, got into bed directly, and said to Ye Jiayao: "I haven't slept for two days and two nights, I'll sleep for half an hour, wake me up later, I have to do errands. "

I really want to ask him what is going on. But at this moment, Ye Jiayao chose to remain silent. It could be seen that he was really exhausted.

Ye Jiayao signaled Qiao Xi and Xiang Tao to rest. When they turned around, the people on the bed were already snoring slightly. Ye Jiayao smiled bitterly, moved the bell to the high table at the head of the bed, and lay down next to him with her eyes open. Look at the clock, you only have half an hour to rest!

She didn't dare to sleep, fearing that she would oversleep and delay his business, and the many thoughts in her mind were like wild weeds, growing and spreading in disorder.

At this time, it was the dark night before dawn. Because it was a rainy night, the ray of dawn that was supposed to penetrate the window was late. The ink was thick, and the depressed person felt tight in his chest.

I thought it had been a long time, but looking at the fine sand in the clock glass, it didn't seem to have changed much.

Ye Jiayao sighed silently, closed her eyes and continued to think wildly.

Xia Chunyu woke up automatically before the agreed time came.

Ye Jiayao also woke up suddenly and looked at the clock immediately: "It's not time yet, you can sleep a little longer."

Xia Chunyu turned over and hugged her in his arms, hugging each other in the most intimate position they were most used to.

His voice was still hoarse with exhaustion: "I'm not going to sleep anymore. Come talk to me!"

Ye Jiayao's heartstrings tightened. Was he going to tell her?

"I know you're feeling very uneasy right now, but it's a confidential matter, so it's for your own good not to say anything. However, things have changed a bit now, and I'd like to hear your opinion." Xia Chunyu understood what Song Qizhuan said when he thought about it. Come here, there are some things that she won’t worry about unless he says it’s okay. Yaoyao is a sensitive and slender woman, and she has already seen some clues. Instead of letting her guess blindly, and the more she guesses, the more uneasy she becomes, it’s better to go straight to the Bai De told her that besides, the current situation really needed a bystander to analyze it.

For some reason, Ye Jiayao is not nervous now. No matter what happens, she is not afraid when two people face it together.

Xia Chunyu was silent for a moment, organized his words, and said: "Actually, He Lianxuan is no longer in Simon. The emperor issued a secret order to garrison in the northeast, which was the third day after Ah Ruan reported the news. We are all confused, the emperor Why do we have to make such an arrangement? My father used to guard the Northeast. After my father returned to Jinling, General Weiyuan Ma Mingyuan guarded the Northeast. There has always been peace and quiet there. There is absolutely no need to transfer He Lianxuan there. We have to Connect the situation with King Yu."

"And that Su Yuanyuan was a secret person placed in the brothel by He Lianxuan in his early years. Only a few people knew about it. In that kind of place, there was a mixture of good and bad people, but the information was the best. However, Prince Yu now monitors Prince Helian's Mansion very closely. It was sneaky, but it was easy to reveal the secret. Xiao Jing simply made a big noise and contacted Su Yuanyuan. Through Su Yuanyuan's information and some things I found out in the palace, we had a premonition that King Yu was setting up a plan, but what was it specifically? We don’t really know.”

"Thanks to your list, we caught Mr. Zheng from the Patrol Department. We followed the clues and found out the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War was ostensibly from the prince's camp, but in fact, he had always been a member of Prince Yu. This time, King Yu attacked people from the prince's camp and listed many crimes. We took the opportunity to reveal the evidence that the Minister of the Ministry of War was secretly selling arms to Mr. Jiang in Yushitai. Mr. Jiang in Yushitai was also a member of King Yu, but he did not Knowing that the Minister of War was also from King Yu’s camp, he had no time to report it to King Yu and immediately reported it to the emperor. In other words, King Yu did not take advantage of this battle, and his most important chess piece was removed."

Ye Jiayao listened carefully, her heart rising and falling along with his words.

Xia Chunyu continued: "But the problem is far from that simple. We all thought that King Yu was just eradicating the prince's influence. Unexpectedly, someone revealed that the prince was secretly training dead soldiers. The emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation. This matter has always been kept secret. Even I don’t know the secrets contained in it, and only He Lianxuan knows about it. Fortunately, Ah Ruan’s previous report made the prince wary, and he started to cover up all the evidence early, and the clues were cut off.”

Ye Jiayao's heart tightened: "Why does the prince want to train dead soldiers? Does he really have that intention?"

Xia Chunyu sneered: "If it weren't for these dead soldiers, the prince would have been assassinated countless times, just to protect himself."

Ye Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that the clue is gone. Otherwise, the emperor doesn't care what your purpose is and will never tolerate it. God knows the emperor will not think that the prince is training a dead soldier to assassinate him.

"Now, all the clues are put together, and I finally understand the emperor's attitude towards He Lianxuan. It is estimated that the emperor has been informed about the prince's secret formation of a group of dead soldiers. It is estimated that they are even more jealous. How can the emperor tolerate the prince? If you have any rebellious intentions, you must cut off the wings of the prince first. The leader of the Royal Forest Army who went to copy the book of war in the Shangshu's Mansion is one of my men. He found a secret order from the Minister of War's Mansion that he had not yet sent out, ordering Ma Mingyuan and others. He Lianxuan will perform the Fa-rectification on the spot as soon as he arrives."

Ye Jiayao gasped and said in surprise: "Isn't He Lianxuan in danger?"

Xia Chunyu shook his head: "I have informed He Lianxuan before and asked him to be careful. He deliberately claimed to be sick and delayed his journey to the Northeast. He is probably still on the way now."

"However, the emperor has already developed murderous intentions towards Helianxuan. Isn't Prince Helian's Mansion in danger?" Ye Jiayao was worried.

Xia Chunyu sighed, with a solemn expression: "This is the problem that troubles me. Although the emperor has not been able to find evidence that the prince did kill the dead man, the emperor's suspicion has arisen. It is not so easy to eliminate the emperor's suspicion. The prince is now under arrest. House arrest.”

Ye Jiayao fell into deep thought, yes, what the emperor cares about most is someone trying to shake his throne. In history, there are many examples of killing parents and children.

"This situation is difficult to break. If the emperor's suspicion cannot be eliminated, it is certain that the prince will fall out of favor. Once the prince loses power, the Helian family will bear the brunt. How can I sit back and ignore it?" Xia Chunyu rubbed his swollen brain. , said helplessly.

Ye Jiayao hesitated and said, "Is there any way to move the disaster eastward?"

Xia Chunyu's eyes flashed: "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you say that someone wants to assassinate the prince? Since he can assassinate the prince, he can also assassinate the emperor." Ye Jiayao said coldly.

Xia Chunyu sat up in shock and immediately covered Ye Jiayao's mouth. He alertly raised his ears to listen to the noise around him and made sure there was no one outside before letting go.

He lowered his voice and said seriously: "Tell me about it."

Ye Jiayao also lowered her voice and said, "Now that the prince is under house arrest, the person guarding him must be someone personally selected by the emperor, right?"

"Well, the emperor knew about my relationship with the Helian family and didn't let me interfere. He even excluded all my people." Xia Chunyu said.

There was a cruel look in Ye Jiayao's eyes: "Look, even the emperor is wary of you, which forces us to spare no effort to help the prince. If the prince falls, our Jing'an Marquis Mansion will also suffer. "

"Only by helping the prince to clear away doubts can everyone survive this crisis safely. My plan is to send someone to assassinate the emperor. Of course it is not a real assassin. It is best to point the doubt at Concubine Shu. As for the dead man, I don't believe that King Yu will do it." No." Ye Jiayao said.

Xia Chunyu was thoughtful and silent for a long time.

Until a cockcrow came from outside.

Xia Chunyu relaxed his brows and looked at Ye Jiayao silently, with an extremely solemn expression: "The words I said today must not reach the ears of a third person again."

Ye Jiayao nodded, not knowing whether her idea was adopted? She was still denied, and she also knew that it would be very difficult to do this and would involve taking great risks.

Xia Chunyu stood up and dressed, and said, "I'm going out, just pretend you don't know what to do, nothing happened, and continue your food festival."

Ye Jiayao thought of another thing: "Xiaojing asked me to list Su Yuanyuan among the nine beauties, and you sent your mother away. Did you have any plan beforehand?"

Xia Chunyu said: "There is a plan, but the plan cannot keep up with the changes, so we need to make new plans."

"Then...does mother still want to leave? She told me yesterday that she didn't want to leave."

Xia Chunyu hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "Go, you must go."

"What about father?"

Xia Chunyu turned around and said, "Father will act according to the original plan, so we must go."

Uh... Ye Jiayao is a bit confused. Is the Marquis also involved in the original plan?

When Xia Chunyu went out, the sky had just brightened, and it was still gloomy and chilly to the bones. Ye Jiayao watched his straight back disappear into the cold morning light, her mood was still heavy, but she finally knew what he was going to do, and These things must be done, but she made up her mind. She believed in Chunyu's strategy and ability, and believed that although Helianxuan was far away, he would not be without any precautions.

No matter what, she is his after all. Whatever path he wants to take, she will just follow him. It doesn't matter whether he goes to heaven or to earth. We are all together.
