NOVEL NEXT Chapter 308 Departure to the North
Ye Qingran always understood that even if the General's Mansion collapsed, Ye Guodong's former connections would still remain. Even among the soldiers who stayed at the border, there were still many people who were willing to listen to his orders. This was why the emperor did not continue to pursue them. reason.
He was worried that some soldiers might rebel.
If not for this, he would never have spared the lives of the Ye family, and it was the same now. He did not kill him directly, but tried again and again.
But she was still worried. The emperor and Concubine Xian were in a nest of snakes and rats. Even if the emperor had concerns, she was worried that he would be instigated by Concubine Xian and attack the Ye family regardless.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ye Guodong said earnestly: "It won't affect anything if you leave. It's you who will encounter more dangers. You should worry about yourself first. Your brother and I will protect your mother, not to mention There is also such a well-trained assassin team and investigation team, so many people should be of some use, and you have to trust the people you fight, right?"
He stepped forward and patted Ye Qingran's shoulder, "Don't worry, we have been dragging you down for so long, and it's time to let you out this time."
Ye Qingran couldn't help but feel a sore nose and almost shed tears: "Don't worry, dad, we will leave early and come back early. If the northern border settles down, we will come back to pick you up, even if the capital doesn't wait."
"Okay, everything is fine. You can do your own thing in peace. Don't worry too much about us. We will send you a message if anything happens."
"it is good."
After discussing this, Chu Qingyun could no longer persuade him.
Before the imperial edict came down, Ye Qingran took Chu Qingyun back to Beijing and informed the Jiang family about the matter.
I originally thought that Mrs. Jiang would be reluctant to let go, but she didn't expect that her thoughts were consistent with Ye Guodong's. She supported her in doing what she wanted to do, but just repeatedly told her to take care of herself and not let herself get hurt.
Ye Qingran also agreed one by one.
Within three days, the imperial edict arranging for Chu Qingyun to go to the Northern Territory was passed down. However, the third prince still wanted to go to the Northern Territory. I don't know what kind of conspiracy there was.
Because they were worried that the third prince would do something to them after being instructed by the emperor, they did not leave with the third prince. Instead, they sent Jiang to the village to hand over to Ye Guodong and Ye Zhuoyu, and then left the capital alone in a carriage overnight.
But what they didn't expect was that they chose such an abnormal time to set off and still met the third prince on the road.
"This is really weird...could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed?"
Ye Qingran felt strange, but still asked the groom to drive around.
Chu Qingyun shook his head and denied: "Although our whereabouts are not too hidden, it takes time to deliver the news. Meeting the Third Prince outside the city means that he has been out for a while like us. He should not have received the news. Maybe ...It just happened.”
"That's right. Ignore him for now. Let's hurry up and stay at a far-away post station for one night. This way we won't run into the Third Prince."
The two of them rushed all the way to a distant inn before resting. Even so, Chu Qingyun still arranged for Ying Yi to stay nearby and notify him immediately if there was any movement.
In the palace, Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes when she heard the scary news that Chu Qingyun and Ye Qingran had left the capital overnight: "I didn't expect that Ye Qingran was really infatuated, even willing to go to a place like the North. But infatuation is also It may not be true, maybe I can’t be a queen, so I want to be a princess.”
She snorted coldly, "It's so shameless to be involved with His Majesty's brother. Even if this is spread, it is against ethics."
Although her tone was disdainful, the jealousy on her face betrayed her.
She was just dissatisfied that Ye Qingran could still hook up with Xiaoyao King after being abandoned by the emperor. Even the emperor did not dare to touch Xiaoyao Wang. It was really hateful that such a fallen flower could regenerate a new spring.
Concubine Xian was thinking about it in her heart. Early the next morning, after the emperor went down to court, she entered the palace.
"I have seen your Majesty. Your Majesty has been busy for so long, so it's time for breakfast."
She ordered people to bring breakfast to the emperor.
"Why did my beloved come so early today? She must have some new ideas?"
"My concubine has guessed it before I even said anything. It's really boring."
Concubine Xian curled her lips delicately, "I think the snow scenery in winter is very beautiful, and I want to go to a more remote place outside the city to enjoy the scenery. I heard a few days ago that there is a river along the river outside the east gate of the city. It’s a lively village, the people there are simple and enthusiastic, and they can also make all kinds of snacks, which makes me very curious!”
"Really? It's just a village, but it must be a little strange to be able to make my beloved concubine yearn for it."
"That's natural. I have a high vision. If it weren't for this rare beauty, I wouldn't be so curious. Your Majesty may not have been out of the palace for a long time. Don't you want to see what's going on outside?"
After hearing this, the emperor thought about it and was indeed a little curious.
But what he was curious about was not the snow scene, but the people.
He thought that he had done his best after taking the throne, and the people should be able to live and work in peace and contentment, with enough food and clothing. However, he was busy with political affairs and did not have time to see it in person.
Looking at Concubine Xian's bright eyes, he nodded: "What my concubine said is absolutely true. It's time for me to go out and see how my people are doing."
It was common for the emperor to pay private visits incognito, but this time he didn't go to a place too far away from the capital, so he didn't go out of his way to inform the ministers. He just skipped the morning court for a few days.
Concubine Xian and the emperor only brought a few maids and guards with them out of the capital, and their identities were slightly disguised so that ordinary people could not tell their identities.
Following Concubine Xian's guidance, they walked all the way downstream along the river embankment, passing several towns and small villages. Concubine Xian had no intention of stopping.
It wasn't until they reached a village with a few trees planted at the entrance that she ordered them to stop.
There is a lot of snow on these trees, and from time to time some fine snow is blown down by the wind.
The emperor looked at the village and asked: "This village... I don't think it's anything special. Could it be that I'm looking for the wrong place?"
"You're right, it's here. This village looks ordinary from the outside, but the villagers here are all strong, well-spoken, and very enthusiastic! You'll know when you go in and take a look."
She pulled the emperor inside, "Besides, Your Majesty, look at the snow scenery by the river. It is indeed beautiful. It is very suitable for drinking and enjoying the scenery when it snows."
The emperor then looked at the scenery on one side and nodded: "That's true. Let's go in and take a look first. When it starts snowing, we will set up a pavilion here to drink and enjoy the scenery."
Not long after they entered the village, they saw a woman in the distance.
