This day.
Yang Ying woke up at the second watch and entered the palace at the third watch.
She waited for a whole day but was not summoned by Emperor An.
Yang Ying simply left the palace.
At the entrance of the palace, facing the young minister of Honglu Temple, she showed a royal demeanor without being angry or assertive.
When speaking, neither humble nor arrogant, advance and retreat in a moderate manner.
While Yang Ying recognized Emperor An as a cold nail, she also secretly threatened him.
The young minister of Honglu Temple's expression changed slightly, but he did not dare to say anything.
Under the escort of Ning Yuanzhou and others, Yang Ying returned to Siyi Pavilion.
Noon the next day.
Emperor An ordered Yang Ying to go to Yong'an Tower to visit Emperor Wu.
Ning Yuanzhou and others are still with him.
At the same time, Ren Ruyi disguised himself and sneaked into Zhu Yiwei's headquarters. He killed Chen Gui, Zhu Yiwei's current left envoy, and left a message: Anyone who hurts Marquis Changqing will die.
Li Tongguang was assassinated in Hexian County before. The mastermind behind the assassination was Chen Gui, and Chen Gui was instructed by the eldest prince.
Yang Ying entered Yong'an Tower and had a long talk with Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu made a request that he must be rescued and returned to Wudu safely before he would write an edict to avenge his injustice.
Yang Ying left Yong'an Tower disappointed.
On the way back to Siyi Pavilion, she informed Ning Yuanzhou of Emperor Wu's request, and claimed: If you can, save him, and if you can't, don't force him.
To her, the lives of Ning Yuanzhou and others were more important than Emperor Wu.
Another day passed.
Nothing happened today.
Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi went shopping.
Originally, Ning Yuanzhou was choosing clothes for Ren Ruyi, but after a while, it was completely reversed.
Ning Yuanzhou changed clothes one after another, and Ren Ruyi finally settled on a dark red robe, and then made the decision.
As the two left the store.
Ren Ruyi was attracted by a blue gown hanging on the wall.
Ning Yuanzhou looked along her line of sight, and then said in a tone of apology: "Madam, this one on me is very good, but I really can't wear that one!"
Ren Ruyi looked back at him and said with a smile, "Who said it was for you?"
Ning Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment: "Not for me? Who is it for?"
Ren Ruyi replied: "Since you learned who Jiu'er is, haven't you been asking me about Mr. Yu?"
She caught Ning Yuanzhou's jealous mood in her eyes and smiled mysteriously: "I will take you to see him now."
Ning Yuanzhou's face darkened, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Ren Ruyi raised her hand and pointed at the green gown and said to the shop owner: "Boss, wrap this up for me."
The boss happily agreed.
After the two walked out of the store.
The shop owner sighed: "Oh, it's really not easy for Gu Yuanwai!"
"My wife bought clothes for the outer room in front of him, and he had to endure it with a smile on his face."
Gu Yuanwai was Ning Yuanzhou's identity when he was lurking in Andu.
This boss obviously knew him and had misunderstood something at this time.
Siyi Pavilion.
In the center of the huge study room, there is a large rosewood marble case with various books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones stacked on it.
Xiao and Xi sat at the desk, writing and drawing non-stop. A thick stack of paper was already piled next to them.
Yang Ying was leaning on her left arm, with the back of her head resting on her shoulder. She was holding a few pieces of paper in her hand and looking up at them.
"Yu Xi, what is this ghost drawing talisman of yours?"
Xiao Yuxi hit Yang Ying on the head with the tip of the brush, then shrugged her left shoulder: "Qikai, you are affecting my writing."
Yang Ying held the paper in one hand and touched her head with the other, sitting upright silently.
She was quite speechless and said: "Are you afraid of my influence with this word?"
"No, is there room for improvement?"
Xiao Yuxi turned to look at her.
Yang Ying reached out to cover her mouth and put the paper back on the table.
She smiled and narrowed her eyes: "I'm really curious, what are these?"
Xiao Yuxi kept writing in his hand: "It's for Yuan Lu."
Yang Ying understood: "About cultivating spiritual power?"
Xiao Yuxi responded: "Yes."
Yang Ying frowned and asked in confusion: "With you here, why bother?"
"Teaching by words and deeds is much more effective than talking on paper!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuxi tightened her hand on the brush.
She smiled and changed the subject: "You do understand."
Yang Ying nodded: "No, I speak from experience."
"After all, Sister Ruyi gives me advice almost every day."
At this moment, Yuan Lu walked in from outside: "Your Highness, and Sister Xi."
Yang Ying had a smile on her face and quickly waved to Yuan Lu: "Yuan Lu, you came just in time."
"Come and take a look, can you understand what Yu Xi wrote?"
"I can't understand it anyway!"
Yuanlu stepped forward, picked up a few pieces of paper and looked at them carefully.
Xiao Yuxi said the last word before asking, "What's the matter with you coming here?"
This study room is located in the southeast corner of Siyi Hall, and the location is very remote.
Very few people from the mission come here.
Only then did Yuan Lu come back to his senses. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu Xi: "Oh, by the way, Sister Yu Xi and Sister Ruyi are back."
"Sister Ruyi asked me to come to you and said I had a gift for you."
Xiao Yuxi stroked his sleeves lightly and placed the brush in his hand on the mountain of brushes, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
The corner of her mouth curled up slightly: "Oh? Is this the sun coming out in the west?"
Yuanlu shook his head repeatedly.
Xiao Yuxi instructed: "Yuanlu, sort these out so they can be useful to you in the future."
She said that and walked out of here.
In the study room, Yang Ying and Yuan Lu kept talking, and they laughed crisply from time to time.
The front hall of the inner courtyard.
When Xiao Yuxi arrived, they happened to see Yu Shisan and Ning Yuanzhou bickering.
Yu Shisan pointed at Ning Yuanzhou with one finger, held his head high, and acted like a noble man: "You have changed your face again, do you think you can take away my title of the most handsome man in Liudao Hall?"
Ning Yuanzhou put his arm around Ren Ruyi's waist and said, "I don't even bother trying to compete with you for a title!"
"However, if you are accompanied by a beautiful woman, someone will naturally buy you clothes."
Yu Shisan was speechless and said: "Do you want to be so murderous and heart-wrenching?"
He put it directly on Ning Yuanzhou and said with a smile: "I also want a new hairpin, buy me one, I want it too~"
Ning Yuanzhou pushed Yu Shisan away angrily.
Yu Shisan was pushed towards the door of the room.
Xiao Yuxi was about to walk in.
When she saw this scene, she moved her steps lightly and turned sideways to hide in a hurry.
Yu Shisan almost fell to the ground.
He held the door frame with one hand and covered his heart with the other, pretending to be distressed: "It's so sad. Even if they bully me, the second lady doesn't even help me."
A look of amusement flashed in Xiao Yuxi's eyes.
She ignored Yu Shisan and walked straight towards the two people in the room: "I heard that you want to give me a gift?"
Ren Ruyi tapped the plates on the table with her chin.
Xiao and Xi followed Ren Ruyi's instructions and walked slowly towards the table.
She uncovered the red cloth on the plate, and a beautifully crafted cyan gown caught her eye immediately.
Xiao Yuxi was startled and reached out to touch his clothes: "What kind of gift is this?"
Ren Ruyi walked behind her and crossed her arms: "Someone wants to see Mr. Yu, and I agreed."
Ning Yuanzhou's eyes wandered over Xiao Yuxi and Ren Ruyi, and he had already vaguely guessed something.
Yu Shisan joined in the fun and glanced at the clothes on the plate, and then put his hands on Ning Yuanzhou again: "Look at me."
"All beauties know how to buy new clothes for the second lady, but some people, alas, forget their loyalty and forget about us brothers!"
Ning Yuanzhou threw Yu Shisan away: "What are you yelling about? It's not like you don't know how poor our Six Paths Hall is."
"My body is all decorated by Ruyi!"
Yu Shisan immediately fell silent.
the other side.
Xiao Yuxi naturally knew who the "someone" in Ren Ruyi's words was referring to.
She turned back to look at Ren Ruyi, chuckled and said, "He can see him whenever he wants. Why?"
Ren Ruyi pretended to be thoughtful: "He asked me about Mr. Yu, but after thinking about it, I found that there are not many good things about Mr. Yu."
"But I remembered something that really impressed me. Do you think I should tell others about it?"
Xiao Yuxi panicked and suddenly had a bad feeling: "Are you threatening me?"
Ren Ruyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said frankly: "The left lane of Andu Zheng Street..."
"Shh-" Xiao Yuxi immediately raised his hand and pressed his index finger on Ren Ruyi's slightly opened lips.
She smiled like a spring breeze: "Isn't it just a dress?"
"I really like this gift. I'll wear it for you to see!"
There was a sense of gritted teeth in his words.
