Chapter 253: Each with Their Own Agenda
Almost at the same time, Princess Yu, the wife of the third prince Ye Lingtian, also invited Ye Qingcheng to Juyuan.
In the leisurely and quiet corridor of the Ju Garden, Ye Qingcheng was sitting on the railing, with lazy eyebrows and lazy eyes, looking at the beautiful scenery of the Ju Garden casually: "The eldest prince's garden is really well taken care of."
"Yes. The emperor's sister-in-law loves chrysanthemums and also likes to take care of flowers and plants, but she is a bit different from the eldest brother's temperament."
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said nothing.
"Jiu Mei, my concubine asked me to give this to you." Princess Yu took an exquisite brocade box from the maid's hand and handed it to Ye Qingcheng with both hands. The smile at the corner of her mouth was sincere, "My concubine is the most beautiful. The two jade bracelets I like, one was given to me and the other to Jiumei. She said she was very sorry that she had never given birth to a daughter in her life. She always wanted to care for Jiumei as her own daughter. Privately, she also I mentioned it to my father several times, but my father never agreed. "
Ye Qingcheng reached out to take the brocade box, but did not open it to look at it. Instead, he held Princess Yu's hand and put the brocade box back into her palm: "I understand what Concubine Shu meant, but this bracelet was originally supposed to be a pair. , give it all to the emperor’s sister-in-law, I don’t need it.”
Princess Yu's expression froze: "Nine sisters..."
"Three Emperors' Sister-in-law doesn't have to be too polite, and your feelings don't have to be expressed in gifts." Ye Qingcheng smiled faintly, "Actually, I know the purpose of the eldest brother inviting me here today, and I also know what Sanhuang's Sister-in-law wants to find out from me. ”
Princess Yu was embarrassed, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"The prince can't come back." Ye Qingcheng told him bluntly, his eyes falling on the yellow and white chrysanthemum garden in front of him, "Brother Three Emperors can do whatever they want, there is no need to worry about anything."
Upon hearing this, Princess Yu perked up, subconsciously looked around, and then whispered: "Is what Jiu Mei said true?"
"Although I am withdrawn, I never lie." Ye Qingcheng smiled casually, "I don't like the prince, nor the queen. The third emperor's sister-in-law should know why."
Princess Yu nodded slightly: "Yes."
"My marriage to the Great Zhou Dynasty was caused by the queen and her son. I am not a good-tempered person. If they dare to plot against me, I will not sit still and wait for death."
Princess Yu's expression tightened slightly, and then she smiled and said: "Mother has always said that the Ninth Princess is the smartest and wisest among all the royal princesses. I used to be confused, but now I finally understand that what mother said is true."
Ye Qingcheng said calmly: "Concubine Shu, I cannot bear the praise."
Princess Yu was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said: "How did the prince disappear?"
If I can't get a definite answer, I always feel unsure.
"He is not missing." Ye Qingcheng said calmly, "He offended the Princess Regent in the Great Zhou Dynasty and was captured by the people of Jiuxiao Pavilion."
Princess Yu was stunned, "I don't quite understand what Jiu Mei means."
"The Princess Regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the daughter of Jiuxiao Pavilion. Jiuxiao Pavilion is the largest power organization in the world. It is superior to the Jianghu and the imperial court. The emperors of various countries are quite afraid of Jiuxiao Pavilion. Prince Ye Yan offended their daughter, so naturally they "I won't give up." Ye Qingcheng said calmly, "Furthermore, Jiuxiao Pavilion does not follow any rules and does not fear any royal family. As far as I know, the prince's hands and feet were already disabled when they took him to Lingxiao Pavilion."
Princess Yu was shocked: "Is there still such a powerful organization in the world?"
Ye Qingcheng hummed, turned around, walked to the end of the corridor, climbed down the stone steps, and walked slowly along the garden path. There were lights in the garden, and the chrysanthemums all over the garden looked more elegant and proud under the lights.
"It was only after I went to the Great Zhou Dynasty that I learned that there is such a powerful force as Jiuxiao Pavilion in the world." Ye Qingcheng said lightly, "If the Third Emperor's Wife wants to know more about Jiuxiao Pavilion, it is better to go back and ask the Three Emperors at night. Brother, he should know better than us."
Princess Yu smiled and agreed, but she was quietly relieved in her heart. Since she was asked to go back and ask the prince, Jiuxiao Pavilion should really exist, instead of just making up an excuse to deceive her?
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became more sincere: "If the prince can really succeed in the future, he will definitely make everything go smoothly and safely for Jiu Mei."
Ye Qingcheng smiled faintly: "I have already thought about going to the palace on Monday. We all want to be happy for the rest of our lives, especially us women. We are bound by too many rules and morals in the world, and we can't do whatever we want. If the three emperor brothers can really do it in the future, When I sit in that position, I don’t have any other requirements. I just want to be free and unrestrained.”
"Jiu Mei's wish is nothing at all. It will definitely come true." Princess Yu smiled and said, "Jiu Mei went to see Father last night. I wonder what Father's will is?"
Ye Qingcheng said calmly: "My father is not in good health, but he still thinks about the prince. During this period, the three emperors can often go and pay their respects. By the way, he can also reveal that he is looking for the prince's whereabouts. Of course, don't forget to tell his father, Mu." The king held a grand banquet in the palace to welcome the wind and cleanse the palace. "
Princess Yu was silent for a moment, her heart suddenly became enlightened, and she couldn't help but feel scared.
The prince is missing and the emperor is weak. At this time, the princes who want to seize the heir are unwilling to let go of this great opportunity. They even have no scruples and plan to let go - just waiting for the certainty that Ye Yan is dead or has no chance to come back. information.
However, the emperor is not dead after all, and the final heir has not yet been determined. If King Mu's actions are heard in the ears of the emperor, he will definitely be furious.
Even if the emperor is still alive, as long as he summons all the clan members and important ministers in the court to issue a testament, the efforts of other princes will be in vain.
While Princess Yu was feeling relieved, she also felt deeply that Ye Qingcheng was a terrible person. Although she was a woman, she had a deeper mind than a man. If she wanted to plot against someone, she only needed a few words to do it.
Princess Yu tightened the handkerchief in her hand, nodded, and smiled at Ye Qingcheng, which was considered a tacit understanding. Then the two of them said nothing more, strolling slowly along the path of the Chrysanthemum Garden. When they turned the corner in front, they saw Ye Muching and Yun Ting talking in a low voice, followed by several followers.
When he looked up and saw Ye Qingcheng and Princess Yu, Ye Muching paused and took the initiative to greet them: "Ninth sister."
Ye Qingcheng smiled faintly: "What is the eldest brother talking about with Rong Ting?"
Princess Yu's heart sank slightly, and she glanced at Yun Ting calmly, thinking that King Mu was indeed cunning, knowing to start with the ninth princess, the male favorite, but what could a male favorite know? Would Ye Qingcheng know more?
If Ye Qingcheng really only regarded him as a male lover, she would not have told him these confidential matters.
