Ye Qing was a little confused about what Shi Miyuan invited him and Han Tuozhou at the same time today, and what was his real purpose.

Moreover, he didn't know that since Shi Miyuan and the others got on the ship, they directly suggested that the three of them join forces to deal with Wang Huai's authenticity, and whether Shi Miyuan showed goodwill to them at the same time, or that one of them was just a cover-up.

"I heard that you brought five thousand elite soldiers back to Lin'an this time?" Han Tuozhou suddenly turned the topic to Ye Qing. Looking at Ye Qing who turned his head, Han Tuozhou smiled and continued: "What? Since the last incident, Ye Qing has also begun to be afraid of Lin'an?"

"Dog ears, so smart? You just returned to Lin'an and found out about me so clearly?" Ye Qing talked to Han Tuozhou, but the two of them still looked at Shi Miyuan.

Listening to the simple conversation between the two, Shi Miyuan's face seemed a little more solemn than before. He could hear that Han Tuozhou's seemingly unintentional questioning was actually reminding Ye Qing, provoking Ye Qing's possibility of joining forces with him.

Although more than two years have passed when Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, even so, there are still people in Lin'an City secretly discussing what happened that night.

Why did King Xin die inexplicably in that conflict? Who killed King Xin Zhao Yu, Duke of Wei Shi Hao, Huainan East Road appeasement envoy Ye Qing, even a large number of imperial guards, as well as other armed forces of unknown origin, etc. How did these people enter Lin'an City?

The people of Lin'an City, and even many court officials, may not know how King Xin died more than two years ago, and why no one pursued it in the end? Why did the Supreme Emperor appear at the Fengbo Pavilion of Dali Temple that night, and why Ye Qing fought a bloody path from King Xin's Mansion and broke into Dali Temple alone! And even, Wei Duke Shi Hao, why did Shi Hao quietly retreat to his mansion, as if he was fine.

Others don’t know about these, but Han Tuozhou is very clear at the moment, so Han Tuozhou mentioned that Ye Qing brought 5,000 elite troops back to Lin'an this time, which naturally gave Han Tuozhou a chance to provoke his relationship with Shi Miyuan.

"You don't have to worry about whether it's a dog's ear." Han Tuozhou's hand was still on the woman's chest, while the other hand was holding up the wine glass, and then said, "I'm kind to remind you not to forget the pain after healing the scar."

"Han Tuozhou, what do you mean? Today I invite two of you to the banquet, which is full of sincerity, not to listen to you here to sow discord." Shi Miyuan groaned, put down his wine glass and said angrily: "If you, with the surname Han, you are so villainous, you can jump ship and go back immediately, and no one will stop you."

"Look, I'm guilty, right?" Han Tuozhou laughed and finally took out the hand that was placed on someone's chest, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and continued to smile and said, "I, Han Tuozhou, didn't name me, you Shi Miyuan, are you angry, are you nervous, are you! Want me to join forces with you? Why, do you still want to cheat us behind your back?"

"What do you mean?" Shi Miyuan looked angry and stood up and looked at Han Tuozhou with a leisurely expression.

At this time, the other party involved, as if he had not heard the fierce verbal confrontation between them, actually held the hand of the woman next to him and began to show his palms. If he continued to stay on the boat one by one, it would be a lifelong disaster. But if you can bravely walk out of this boat, then this lady, this is the beginning of your fortune. In the future, not only can you marry a good family, but you will also be a fortune-teller in this life.

Shi Miyuan, who stood up angry, was originally glaring at Han Tuozhou, but when he heard the fortune teller Ye's words, Shi Miyuan, who was originally angry, suddenly rolled his eyes helplessly, and then sat back to his original place angrily.

"If Lord Ye can protect her forever...not to mention her forever wealth and glory, as long as she is in her age, she will not become a toy for many men, even if she is serving tea and water in the house and finally getting a good family to marry, what's the point of sending her to your house? But..." Shi Miyuan sneered, glanced at Han Tuozhou with a leisurely expression, and then continued: "It's just that Lord Ye has several beautiful wives now, and even the Princess Xin had already been taken into the room by Lord Ye. I'm afraid he wouldn't look down on such a woman who was just as old as cardamom."

Han Tuozhou listened to Shi Miyuan's words, and the wine glass that had just handed it to his mouth stopped instantly, with a look of surprise and even a little incredible look at Ye Qing.

He has always claimed to be a romantic man, but he never expected that Ye Qing, a bastard, could... take Zhong Qing away!

"It was Zhong Qing who jumped into the lake at the beginning?" Han Tuozhou asked with a frown.

When it came to Jiankang, he and Ye Qing watched Zhong Qing jump into the cold lake with their own eyes. And from that time on, they had a certain relationship of mutual appreciation, but they had completely broken.

Of course, in recent years, he has also heard about Ye Qing hiding the beautiful Zhong Qing in the golden house, but every time he always listened to it as a joke, or as some officials who were incompatible with Ye Qing, slandering and slandering Ye Qing.

So he would not help Ye Qing explain, and naturally he would not rely on this rumors that, in his opinion, does not pose a threat to Ye Qing, to take the opportunity to attack Ye Qing.

What's more, when Zhong Qing returned to the palace again, Han Tuozhou had already gone to Southwest Jing Road, so he naturally knew even less about Zhong Qing.

Looking at Han Tuozhou who frowned and questioned him, Ye Qing keenly noticed the relationship between Zhao Ruyu and Han Tuozhou. It seemed that he would not say anything like before. Otherwise, Zhao Ruyu would not have not told Han Tuozhou about Zhong Qing.

At this time, Shi Miyuan's face finally changed to a relaxed and freehand smile. He should not always be squeezed by them alone, but they should also be vigilant about each other.

"It's a long story at this time, but in fact... you may not believe it if you say it. When I saw Duke Wei's crutch piercing King Xin's chest in the palace, I was in a panic. In my own panic, King Xin handed Zhong Qing to me to take care of..." Ye Qing said with a giggle and said with a slight smile.

"Fart!" Han Tuozhou slapped the table and said angrily: "The matter of Jiankang is several years apart from Lin'an. You snatched Zhong Qing from Zhao Yu, right?"

"So what, so what, no? Can you say, Lord Han, you also have a special liking for Zhong Qing? Now that I know that Ye Qing has a beautiful girl in the golden house, Lord Han plans to snatch it? Of course, if Lord Han is interested, Shi will be helpless. After all, Lord Ye and Zhong Qing are both lovers and concubines." Shi Miyuan interrupted again and said in a provocation.

Han Tuozhou's actions when he was chasing Jiankang out of the city that day were not abnormal to Ye Qing at that time, but now combined with his somewhat resentful expression, Ye Qing had to recall the unreasonable actions of Han Tuozhou after Mo Xiaobao jumped into the river in Zhong Qing's fur.

Now it seems that Han Tuozhou at that time was not just to help Zhao Ruyu take revenge. It is very likely that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to Zhong Qing, he helped Zhao Ruyu so much.

Now Zhao Ruyu and Han Tuozhou are tacitly aware of it. In addition, he urgently needs Ye Qing's help, and he is even more reluctant to see Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou join forces in the court, which makes him, the future right prime minister, end up in vain. So no matter what, he has to stop Ye Qing and Han Tuozhou from joining forces.

In the Jinzhi Gallery in the Imperial Palace in Lin'an City, the Poli windows that have been replaced on both sides of the surrounding area have been completely removed at this time. Only after winter will people be ordered to install them again to block the cold wind.

Zhao Ruyu and Zhong Qing walked side by side, followed by Wang Lun, who had always been inseparable from the steps. Even though the palace was located at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, the breeze that was blowing over was still filled with a sense of heat in the September weather.

"Madam Ye, Zhao took the liberty just now, I hope Mrs. Ye will forgive me. But... Zhao still has something to say in his heart that he will not be happy." Zhao Ruyu has not yet become the right prime minister behind his hands, but now he has the majesty of being the right prime minister.

"Duke Yi said it's okay, but if he still wants to humiliate Zhong Qing..." Zhong Qing said after a cold look at Zhao Ruyu.

"Mrs. Ye is worried too much. Since Zhao has apologized just now, Mrs. Ye should believe that Zhao's sincerity is. However, Mrs. Ye still doesn't like to listen to what Zhao said next, but this matter is related to Mrs. Ye's future identity. Can you respectfully call you Mrs. Ye in the future, but it is all in what Mrs. Zhao wants to say."

"What does Duke Yi mean?" Wang Lun behind the two was slightly frightened. He didn't know what Zhao Ruyu remembered again, but based on the implication, he showed that his next words were something that Zhong Qing didn't want to mention, which forced Wang Lun to guess whether it was related to what happened before Zhong Qing.

Zhao Ruyu looked back at Wang Lun. Now he was sure that Ye Qing and Zhong Qing had probably started a long time ago. As for Jiankang, it was definitely not the first time the two of them had hooked up together.

"Zhao has always been intimate with the Han family. When it comes to Jiankang, Zhao was to avenge his revenge.... I believe you are very clear about the acquiescence of the nobles and the Supreme Emperor? Otherwise, how could Zhao have the courage to act as a destiny to believe in the king?" Zhao Ruyu said with a smile.

"All things have passed. Duke Yi mentioned again today. Do you want to tell Zhong Qing something? If you want to talk about Duke Lu, Duke Yi can be spared." Zhong Qing frowned. She guessed that maybe next, Zhao Ruyu would talk about something that Ye Qing did behind Jiankang.

But Zhao Ruyu smiled calmly again, shook her head and gave her an unexpected answer.

"Don't Mrs. Ye think that Han Tuozhou's appearance in Jiankang seems a bit too strange? Of course, I don't deny that Zhao has a good friend and asked him to come to Jiankang to help me take revenge, but... Mrs. Ye thinks that Han Tuozhou came to Jiankang just to help me Zhao Ruyu?" Looking at Zhong Qing who frowned and said nothing, Zhao Ruyu continued, "Save no effort to help me take revenge on King Xin. Then once King Xin dies, you who still trust the princess at that time. If there is no Ye Qing's rescue, Mrs. Ye, have you ever thought about who you would fall into? Even if King Xin is not dead, if there is no Ye Qing, do you think you can live a leisurely life in Yangzhou like those years?"

Listening to Zhao Ruyu's words, Zhong Qing's whole body was filled with coldness, and even her scalp felt numbness as Zhao Ruyu's words.

She suddenly felt a little afraid to follow Zhao Ruyu's words and thought, if she had rejected Ye Qing's kindness and refused to escort her to Jiankang Xu Qing, Zhao Qier and others, what would she end up with it!

Since Ye Qing could carry himself away in front of everyone and then make the illusion of committing suicide by jumping into the river halfway, it means that if others robbed him, they could also make the illusion of committing suicide. After all, at that time, he was already destroyed and alone, seeking short-sightedness while feeling sad and painful, and would never arouse suspicion from others. Otherwise, he would not have been alone in Yangzhou for several years.

"Duke Yi is afraid that Duke Lu and Han's family will join forces for their own position, right?" Wang Lun asked behind the two again.

Tao Qian was in Jiankang at the time. At that time, there were not many people who knew he was in Jiankang, but he happened to be one of them. Tao Qian was found by Ye Qing because he told Ye Qing that Tao Qian.

But after this incident was resolved, Wang Lun never mentioned the old things to Tao Qian again. Moreover, Tao Qian was always worried about Ye Qing's dig out and let him be a gatekeeper in Yangzhou for several years, so he was reluctant to mention the fact that he was coerced by Ye Qing.

"Although Mr. Zhao is not an open-minded person, he always speaks so much. What's more, some things, perhaps just by mentioning them a little, Mrs. Ye should be able to figure out the key points, right?" Zhao Ruyu's words were also considered as reminding Ye Qing through Zhong Qing, don't think that Han Tuozhou's romanticism is just lingering in brothels and other places.

"The Empress Dowager is sometimes confused and sometimes awake. Sometimes, even she doesn't know what she is saying." Zhong Qing denied it, and then smiled and said, "What's more, if the Empress Dowager's words are credible, Zhong Qing has been promised by the Empress Dowager to Ye Qing, Duke of Lu, no less than a hundred times."

"Mr. Zhao is just a reminder for you. As for how to do it, it depends on whether Lord Ye is capable of defending it. You, Mrs. Ye, the hard-won Mrs. Ye. The Han family is close to the Empress Dowager. Now the emperor is filial and can listen to the Empress Dowager's words, whether it is reasonable or not, so Mrs. Ye can think about it..." Zhao Ruyu said meaningfully.

"If you have clarified this matter, is it good for Duke Yi?" Zhong Qing frowned again. If she clarified her affairs with Ye Qing, Ye Qing would definitely become the target of criticism and impeachment in the court.

Although Zhong Qing no longer cares about being despised by the world, she has to think about Ye Qing. She has to think about Ye Qing's safety and career in this court that is more dangerous than the battlefield.
