Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: Set Out Early
Ye Yiheng just squeezed Leng Yu Yan’s hand, saying nothing.
Leng Yu Yan struggled for a moment, but in vain, and had to let him squeeze.
Ji Qingyu’s matter cannot be blamed on her.
At this time, Ye Yiheng spoke: "Western Desert people are cunning right here, abroad, they unite various countries as much as possible, and internally, they infiltrate the Tiancheng court, even the Imperial Relatives have been united by them."
"In this way, we are indeed facing a tough battle ahead." Baili Zhengrong nodded, "But sister and brother-in-law don’t need to worry too much, maybe they’re just some clowns."
Ye Yiheng said slowly, "Cannot help but worry, Ye Yong can ’rise from the dead,’ all thanks to this West Desert Princess scheming behind the scenes. Leng Yi’s death, the war back then, all demonstrate the difficulty we are about to face."
Leng Yu Yan quietly withdrew her hand from Ye Yiheng’s palm: "Let’s hurry and dine."
Baili Zhengrong took his seat, picking up chopsticks.
"Continue investigating. If evidence of Ye Zhenyu and Ye Yongwang colluding with the enemy can be found, these two should be immediately thrown into prison." Ye Yiheng ordered, "It’s good to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
Yin Shuang asked: "Your Highness, what about Ji Qingyu?"
"As for him, let him live for now." While speaking, Ye Yiheng’s eyes still glanced at Leng Yu Yan sitting beside him.
Leng Yu Yan lifted her eyes to meet his gaze; it seems there’s a need for a good discussion today.
After dining, she asked Baili Zhengrong to take Yinhui out for a walk, while she pulled Ye Yiheng back to the bedroom.
"Why has Your Highness been looking at me repeatedly?"
"Is it wrong for me to look at my Crown Princess Consort?" the man retorted.
"Your eyes say Ji Qingyu’s treason was caused by me. He is smart and capable; do I have such an influence over him?"
The man wrapped her in his arms: "You do have such influence, but if he had no mind of treason, he would not commit treason. What I mean is, Ji Qingyu’s treason just uses you as an excuse."
Leng Yu Yan huffed lightly: "In the end, it’s still my problem."
"I’m somewhat jealous, Ji Qingyu’s heart has you."
"Your Highness."
"But, Ji Qingyu is more jealous because Yanyan’s heart holds only me." After speaking, he pecked her forehead.
Leng Yu Yan sighed.
"Why sigh?" Ye Yiheng asked.
"We can’t even argue nowadays." She pouted, then laughed, "That’s something I never imagined before."
"It’s said when you have children, on educational issues, couples have differing views and might argue." He whispered in her ear, "Once the storm passes, I will surely make an effort."
Leng Yu Yan pouted, "Aren’t you already making enough effort now?"
The man laughed.
--
The night closed in, and festive lights illuminated.
The Crown Prince couple and the Prince of Nandian entered the palace to dine.
Upon arrival, the Emperor was already drinking with the Nandian Empress, the Old Prince Zhenbei couple, and Prince Zhenbei couple.
"Young folks have poor legs; we old folks are the ones who walk swiftly." Baili Shuo laughed loudly and joked.
Ye Yuan nodded: "Indeed, Ah Heng, you have to punish yourself with three cups. Nandian boy, you too have to punish yourself with three cups." Pausing, he gently told Leng Yu Yan, "Quickly sit down and dine."
Leng Yu Yan took the chance to sit beside her mother and grandmother.
Just then, two eunuchs each brought a tray, each laid with three cups of wine.
With such a display, it seemed the two princes couldn’t sit without drinking.
Fortunately, the wine cups were not large, and Ye Yiheng and Baili Zhengrong finished them shortly.
Ye Yuan laughed, "Today’s dinner was organized by Ah Heng, in the future, we should hold such gatherings more often; I like it."
He really loved it.
Looking forward to being the Supreme Emperor, with a group constantly accompanying him.
As the son of the Emperor occasionally helps him organize a banquet, or dinners and gatherings.
Ye Yiheng took his seat: "This act is to inform the elder patrons that soon, I and Yanyan will depart for Linqing Pavilion."
Baili Zhengrong followed and sat: "I’m going too."
"Why go to Linqing Pavilion?" Yun Family asked her daughter.
Leng Yu Yan confessed: "To collect some rare medicinal herbs, make some pills, like the promised longevity pills for Father Emperor."
Lai Taihong listened and laughed: "Yan’er, then hurry, I am the oldest and need longevity pills the most."
Old Princess Consort added: "Since it’s still November, when the weather gets colder in December, it’s better to set off early."
Grandmother’s portion must not be missed.
Empress Yu took the chance to ask: "Daughter, the face cream you gave me last time, can you gather similar herbs? So I can take them back to Nandian."
She wants the face cream and the longevity pills.
Leng Yu Yan nodded: "Of course, naturally it’s possible."
Baili Shuo also spoke: "Need the face cream, but mostly love the longevity pills, girl, you have to make more; I can’t compete with your Father Emperor and Father King."
Lai Ran sipped his wine slowly: "Anyhow, Yan’er will surely honor me as her father first, Yan’er, I think you should depart as soon as possible."
Leng Yu Yan was dumbfounded, why does everyone want them, and wants her to set off earlier?
At this time, Ye Yuan slapped the table.
Just as Leng Yu Yan thought Father Emperor would say something reasonable, like giving them some days to prepare for the journey...
Unexpectedly, he cleared his throat and said loudly, "In my opinion, it’d be better to leave right away!"
Ye Yiheng shook his head: "It’s already evening, can’t you be a sensible old man?"
"Hahaha..." Baili Zhengrong laughed heartily.
"Nandian boy, what are you laughing at?" Ye Yuan feigned a stern face.
Baili Zhengrong was not afraid of him at this moment, yet still laughed and pointed at his father: "My dad is an old geezer."
Ye Yuan laughed aloud: "Here’s the deal, you young folks set off tomorrow, and those slower in the legs should set off earlier."
"Yes, yes." The elders agreed one after another.
Leng Yu Yan and Ye Yiheng exchanged glances; they only wanted to inform the elders of their plans to go to Linqing Pavilion in a few days, never expecting to be hurried along.
What embarrassed the young couple more was Baili Shuo saying: "Linqing Pavilion is a place of people and charm, you should have a baby there."
Baili Zhengrong raised his glass: "I’m saying old geezer, can you just drink your wine?"
"You brat, I haven’t rushed you to marry, so why can’t I urge your sister and brother-in-law? Feeling itchy, are you?"
The meal was filled with continuous laughter and joy.
--
The next morning, the Eastern Palace convoy was ready, luggage prepared.
Ye Yiheng handed the Eastern Palace affairs to Ling Lang, the Dark Guard Bureau affairs to Liu Yun and Yin Shuang, telling them if unsure about anything, go to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion to find Li Yuyue.
Everyone obeyed the orders.
Leng Yu Yan then instructed Caiyu to take good care of Song Guo, waiting for her to return with medicinal herbs.
The two acknowledged.
Ye Yiheng reiterated: "Remember, both I and the Crown Princess Consort haven’t left the Eastern Palace. The Prince of Nandian is also in Tiansheng East Palace, do you all understand?"
Everyone loudly said: "Understood!"
Before long, Ye Yiheng took Mo Chen and Ruo Feng, Leng Yu Yan took Chun Xia, Qiudong, Baili Zhengrong took Lv Zhong and Lv Yong, the party traveling light, disguised, set off for Linqing Pavilion.
