Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 135 Thinking about past mistakes behind closed doors

"My Lord, where are we going?"

"In the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture."

Li Zhi understood that the injured masked men who had attempted assassination today had been sent to Jingzhao Prefecture by the City Patrol, and the prince was going to interrogate them.

Ye Youlan lay in bed for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She got up and went to the yard where Xiaomei lived. The couple were both lying in bed, one with an injured arm and the other with an injured leg.

Li Yi sat up and asked, "Princess, why are you here?"

Xiaomei's eyes were swollen from crying because of the pain. She asked the princess to leave quickly because it was too messy here.

Ye Youlan looked around and found that although the room was small, it was clean and tidy.

"Li Yi, what did the prince ask you just now? Do you know who the assassins are?"

Li Yi shook his head: "The prince didn't come here."

"Not coming? Then where would he go?"

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe he went to Jingzhao Prefecture to interrogate the assassin."

Ye Youlan doesn't have to worry if she wants to interrogate the assassin.

"Li Yi, why are the guys at Qingfeng Teahouse so powerful?"

Li Yixiao said, "Some of those guys are retired veterans, and some are guards from the palace who are on duty outside. They have all been with the prince for many years. How can they not be powerful?"

"Then the guys in other shops are also following the general?"

Li nodded: "Yes, but there are also children of veterans. Each shopkeeper is responsible for managing a group of people and they also train them on a regular basis."

Ye Youlan said: "When we gather together, we are a ball of fire; when we disperse, we are a sky full of stars. But why did you tell me these secrets?"

"From the day I was responsible for protecting the princess, I have been her subordinate. I have no secrets in front of my master."

Ye Youlan arranged a maid for Xiaomei to take care of them, but Xiaomei waved her hand and said she didn't need it.

"Li Yi's arm is injured, so it's inconvenient for him to take care of you. Wait until your leg is healed, then I'll take the girl away."

When Ye Youlan returned to her room, she received greetings from her good sisters, all of whom were very worried about her. She asked the people in the mansion to tell the maids who came to greet her that she was fine and everything was safe.

Two days later, Ye Youlan learned that someone had submitted a letter to the Emperor accusing the Prince of abusing the death penalty, leading to the deaths of several suspects. To appease public anger, the Emperor ordered the Prince to reflect on his mistakes at home and practice Buddhist scriptures.

The Seventh Prince didn't mention it, and Ye Youlan pretended not to know. While the Seventh Prince was copying Buddhist scriptures, she was painting and designing new jewelry over there. However, she could never calm down. Every now and then, she would look up and see the Seventh Prince's face calm and focused, as if he was completely oblivious to the situation.

Ye Youlan put down her pen and walked to the low couch. She sat cross-legged, trying to calm herself down.

In the darkness, a book opened from the first page, her eyes swept across page after page, she was trying hard to recall every crucial plot. After flipping through the entire book, she still couldn't find any reference to Ye Youlan's assassination. She slowly opened her eyes and let out a long sigh.

The Seventh Prince had sat down opposite her at some point, staring at her intently. "What are you doing? Why do you look like a witch?"

His words made Ye Youlan laugh.

"I'm meditating, sorting out the clues, and thinking about whether there is anything I've missed."

The Seventh Prince held Ye Youlan's hand and said, "Being with me, danger may come at any time. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid. I told you that nothing will happen to you. You will live happily ever after."

"Why didn't you say we would live happily ever after?"

Ye Youlan was stunned for a moment, because at the end of the novel, the Seventh Prince went to the battlefield alone, and she came here unexpectedly. There were too many variables, and it was still unknown whether she could accompany him to the end of his life happily.

"If you live happily ever after, I will live happily ever after. Why do you still want to abandon me?"

"Do you know why the emperor punished me?"

Ye Youlan smiled: "I know, you should take me with you. I'll give those guys two more stabs. They deserve to die. The emperor is also a crooked emperor. He can't distinguish right from wrong and can only try to smooth things over."

The Seventh Prince smiled, as if comforted. "I've always been worried that you'd blame me for being cruel after you knew about this, and you'd be scared."

"Who am I? I am Ye Youlan, the fearless Ye Youlan."

The Seventh Prince stood up, his smile as bright as the moon: "Let's go practice."

Upon hearing this, Ye Youlan quickly begged for mercy: "Instead of practicing martial arts, I'd rather pray to the Buddha and ask him to bless me with peace and longevity."

"I'm practicing, you stay by my side."

Ye Youlan took the Seventh Prince's arm and asked, "Are your guards also practicing martial arts?"

The Seventh Prince stopped and turned to look at Ye Youlan: "What do you mean?"

Ye Youlan looked away, looking around and saying something else: "Just asking casually, it's lively and lively with so many people around."

"They are in the training grounds, and I am in the yard. Are you disappointed?"

Ye Youlan nodded but immediately shook her head: "I'm not disappointed, I only have eyes for the prince."

"Duplicity."

Miaoyu, one of the five golden flowers in the capital, was hit by a carriage, Ye Youlan encountered an assassin, and Princess Yong'an was so scared that she always told Chen Xiaoling not to leave the house.

Chen Xiaoling was a lively person, and the princess was very anxious when she was asked to stay in the mansion all the time. She wanted to sneak away, but she was caught by the princess every time.

The princess said proudly, "I have experience in marching and fighting. You can't hide your little tricks from me."

"Mom, I'll be out for an hour. I'm going to go see Ye Youlan."

"No, didn't Ye Youlan reply that she was safe? You can't go anywhere until you find the mastermind behind this."

When Chen Su returned home in the evening, Chen Xiaoling complained to him and then told Chen Su that she was going crazy.

"Don't go out now, any of you. It's better to be safe than sorry. Think about it, if something happens to you, what will happen to me? What will happen to your parents? Your mother is pregnant!"

Chen Xiaoling lay down on the bed unhappily and turned away from Chen Su. Chen Su came over and patted her: "How about I take a day off tomorrow and stay home with you?"

Seeing that Chen Xiaoling remained silent, Chen Su continued, "Why don't we ask the kitchen to make barbecue tomorrow? You and mother both like it."

Chen Xiaoling turned away, pouting unhappily. "I don't like barbecue, I just like the atmosphere of being together. Now we're all trapped in a cage like birds. Why can you men come and go freely?"

Chen Su was helpless: "Now the bad guys are targeting you women."

Chen Xiaoling sat up and took Chen Su's hand: "Do you know who wants to harm us?"

Chen Su shook his head. "I'm the Minister of Works, not the Minister of Justice, nor the Junior Minister of the Supreme Court. I don't know anything. Am I useless?"

"Who said you are useless? You are very useful."

"What use am I?"

Chen Xiaoling put her arms around his neck, pushed him down, and kissed him: "Do you think it's useful?"

Chen Su smiled and reached out to lower the bed curtain: "It's very useful."

Every day when Jinbao came back, he would go to his sister's yard and ask if his brother-in-law had returned.

Ruoyun asked Jinbao to finish his homework first. After dinner, her brother-in-law should be back.

Jinbao asked his sister to sit down and he wanted to tell her something.
