It was raining heavily.

Prince's Mansion in Xiliang City.

Ye Ling stood on the bamboo building and looked out, and saw Nangong Heng waving a shovel in his hand, bowing to dig the ground in the ink bamboo forest.

After a while, Nangong Heng leaned over, took out a wine jar from the ground, raised his head and waved to Ye Ling: "Little Yezi! The last jar of cold bamboo wine buried by the scumbag in Baili! Found!"

Ye Ling's lips curled up slightly, and she watched Nangong Heng rush into the bamboo building with a wine jar in his arms.

A clean cloth scarf flew over and covered Nangong Heng's head.

Nangong Heng put down the jar of wine, wiped his face randomly, and put the wet clothes on his body, outlining the perfect body lines.

"Brother Ghost, you should change your clothes and take a hot bath." Ye Ling reminded Nangong Heng that it was raining heavily, and he insisted on digging the wine hidden by Baili Su, and he was also drunk.

"Xiao Yezi, do you wipe my back?" Nangong Heng asked with a smile.

Ye Ling said quietly: "I can give you a knife."

After saying that, Ye Ling took the umbrella next to her, stretched it open, and walked out of the bamboo building: "Brother Ghost, I'll go out. Please pack yourself before you come back."

"I'll accompany you Xiaoyezi?!" Nangong Heng asked with a messy hair.

"No need." Ye Ling finished speaking, flew up, and disappeared into the vast rain curtain in the blink of an eye.

The bamboo house has a back door, and a small kitchen is connected to the back. In the past, mute slaves prepared meals for Bailisu.

Nangong Heng went in and found that Ye Ling had already cooked a pot of boiling water, and the fire in the stove was still burning.

"Xiao Yezi is so considerate." Nangong Heng brought the bathtub, poured the water in, took off his clothes and jumped in, and sighed comfortably.

Xiliang City has been uneasy recently, and it has rained heavily again, and the shops on the street have been closed.

Ye Ling knocked on the door of a commoner's house and spent money to buy some ingredients. When she came back, Nangong Heng had already taken a shower, changed into Baili Su's clothes, dripping with his hair, and was sleepy waiting for her.

"Little Yezi, I'm so hungry." Nangong Heng woke up immediately when he saw Ye Ling come back.

"Come here to burn the fire, I'm hungry, too." Ye Ling said, putting his umbrella and carrying the basket into the kitchen.

Nangong Heng is responsible for cooking fire, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and Ye Ling is responsible for making them.

One meat and one vegetable, it’s very simple. The staple food is the cold steamed buns I bought, cut into small diced ones, and fry them so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

By the time we had dinner, it was already evening.

There is no sunset today, only heavy rain.

The two sat on the second floor, and the lake was outside the window. Listening to the sound of rain falling from the bamboo forest, a cup made of bamboo tubes was drunk with a glass of cold bamboo wine brewed by Bailishu, with a faint bamboo fragrance, and eating simple home-cooked dishes, which were comfortable and comfortable.

Since leaving Chujing, the two have been rushing. After arriving in Xiliang City yesterday, they tried every means to help Baili Su. Ye Ling was locked in the cold palace last night and practiced overnight. There was no such moment of relaxation for many days.

"Xiao Yezi, are you going back soon?" Nangong Heng asked.

Ye Ling shook her head: "It will take a few days to go out. When I go back, I tell the emperor that I'm late and I haven't taken anything."

A smile spread in Nangong Heng's eyes: "I just happen to be very idle, I'll be with you!"

Ye Ling played with the wine glass in his hand: "Brother Ghost, are you always idle next time? You want to accompany me back to Nanchu. When it's time to go home, let go of gossip go back for you?"

Nangong Heng nodded: "Xiao Yezi, you are so smart!"

"There is a saying that I want to tell Brother Gui." Ye Ling was serious.

Nangong Heng expressed his curiosity: "Oh? Please speak Xiaoyezi."

"Distance creates beauty." Ye Ling looked serious, "It's not good for you to keep following me like this. Why don't you go somewhere else to play? Find a place where I don't have me."

Nangong Heng shook his head: "It's not fun without you, I won't go! The distance creates beauty? We are quite far away now!" At the distance of a table, what he wants is zero distance.

Ye Ling listened to Nangong Heng's fallacy and was speechless...

When Baili Su came, Ye Ling and Nangong Heng had already had a meal and were having a drink.

A jar of cold bamboo wine is about to come to an end. Nangong Heng is drunk, and Ye Ling is fine.

"Nangong, little sister, thank you this time." Baili Su raised his glass and respected Ye Ling and Nangong Heng. As the emperor, he still looked cold and cold, as if nothing could please him.

Regardless of whether Nangong Heng and Ye Ling drank or not, Baili Su drank it all in one go, put down the wine glass, and fell into silence for a moment.

"Have you found out the cause of your father's death?" Ye Ling asked with a faint expression.

Baili Su shook his head: "It's not Baili Jin. He just bribed Ruyan and framed and accused his mother of the queen after his father's death. The father was serving him hanged the beam. His father had been buried in the ground, and he was poisoned by the imperial physicians who had seen him said he didn't know."

Ye Ling thought to himself: "If Baili Jin did not conspire to murder your father, it might be true. Ouyang Cheng said that Baili Jin sent someone to come to him the day after your father passed away. Therefore, this is not a premeditated father-killing and usurping the throne, the murderer is probably someone else."

Baili Su nodded: "My mother could not bear the blow of her father's departure. She had been forcing me to come back a few days ago. Today, after taking her back to the palace, she fell ill. I want to ask you or Nangong to treat my mother. I wonder if it is convenient for you?"

Ye Ling glanced at Nangong Heng with a hazy look and said, "I'll go with you."

"I told my mother that you are a friend I met outside." Baili Su said.

"Very good." Ye Ling nodded.

Then Baili Su saw Ye Ling get up, walk over, pull Nangong Heng up, raise his hand, and throw it onto the bed not far away. When he goes downstairs, he grabs the quilt and covers it on Nangong Heng.

The whole set of actions is simple, rough and time-saving.

Ye Ling and Bai Li Su left together, and Nangong Heng fell asleep in the bamboo building.

When I saw Ming again, there were still tears in the corners of Ming's eyes, and his face was haggard and pale.

Ye Ling took off the mask from her face and showed her true face. Ming looked surprised: "Nan Chu's Princess War? You are the girl for me last night!"

Ming met Ye Ling, and last year the day Baili Su and Ouyang Qing’s wedding.

Ye Ling smiled slightly and sat down beside the bed: "It's me."

"You and Su'er..." Ming looked at Ye Ling, then Baili Su, with a hint of joy and expectation in his eyes.

Baili Su quickly explained: "Mother, she is just my friend."

Ming did not believe it. She knew something about Ye Ling. Now that she looked at Ye Ling, the more she liked Ye Ling, she wondered if Baili Su liked Ye Ling, but Ye Ling didn't agree?

Ye Ling saw at a glance what Ming was thinking, and chuckled and said, "Auntie, it's not what you think."

Ye Ling took the pulse for Ming. Ming was worried and became ill. Recently, he was frightened again, and was infected with wind and cold, and his body was very weak.

Ye Ling prescribed a prescription and handed it to Baili Su. He quickly left the palace and returned to the prince's mansion.

Baili Su ordered people to boil medicine, and Ming raised his hand and asked him to go over.

"Shu'er, tell the truth to your mother. What is the relationship between that girl just now and you? Do you like her?" Ming asked with Baili Su's hand.

Baili Su shook his head: "It's really not."

"What's that? She is also a person with status. Why did she happen to come to Xiliang City to help you at this time?" Ming asked Baili Su.

"She came here for another purpose." Baili Su saw that Ming's departure was gone because of Baili Fu's departure. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke, "Actually, I..."

"What? Su'er had something to hide from her mother?" Ming asked, "Is there anything we can't say?"

"Actually..." Baili Su frowned, "If I say something, I just want my mother to not interfere."

Ming nodded gently: "What do you want to do since you were a child? When did your mother interfere? The mother just hopes you have a good life, you know."

Baili Su felt sour in his heart and said, "Actually, I have a woman I like."

Ming's expression was slightly happy: "Really? Isn't that girl just now? Who is that?"

"It's her sister." Baili Su said with his eyes down.

"She... the sister of the Princess of Nan Chu Zhan?" Ming was trying hard to recall that he had heard that General Ye Sheng of Nan Chu was named Ye Ying, who was both talented and beautiful. He was praised as a Xiaoqinxian by Emperor Chu Jinkou Yuyan. Later, he accidentally lost his virginity and gave birth to a child without marriage...

"Shu'er, you dare not say that it is because her innocence has been ruined and she still has children?" Ming frowned, "If she is a good girl, you really like her, you don't have to worry about those. You are now the emperor, and those old stubborn people will not cause any storm even if they jump out to oppose it."

Baili Su shook his head gently: "Mother, it's not what you think."

"What's that? Something happened to her four years ago..." Ming's heart suddenly moved and looked at Baili Su in disbelief, "She can't be... the one who detoxified you... she was not dead! The child... is that child yours?"

Ming grabbed Baili Su's hand, tightened it suddenly, and stared at Baili Su!

Seeing Baili Su nodding slowly, Ming instantly burst into tears, crying and laughing: "It's mine... it's my grandson... Su'er, have you seen that child? What does he look like?"

"It looks very much like me." Baili Su thought of Ye Chen's little face, a soft light flashed in his eyes, and he took out a little red hat from his arms, "This is Chen'er's." He kept wearing this hat day and night.

Ming snatched it over and looked at the little hat with excitement: "Chen'er? His name is Chen'er?"

Baili Su watched Ming's family unable to calm down for a long time. Although the tears had not dried up, a lot of sorrow between his eyebrows had dissipated. The healing ability of the child was immeasurable.

"Shu'er, you have been in Nanchu before?" Ming asked Baili Su again, "Then why didn't you bring them and their son back? She is Ye Ying? She has detoxified you and has suffered so much. Don't you take the responsibility quickly, and when will you delay it?"

Baili Su smiled bitterly: "My mother, I ruined her original good life. She didn't want to see me, let alone marry me. I dare not ask for more. I just want to make up for them, mother and son, so that I can see the child, and I will be content."

"You said you like her just now, so you are content? I think you are timid!" Ming Shi saw through Baili Su's thoughts at first glance.

Baili Su remained silent and heard Ming say earnestly: "Shu'er, it's you who hurt Ye Ying, but you didn't mean it. You didn't show up in those years because you didn't know. No matter what method you use, you must marry her back! This year, I will meet my daughter-in-law and grandson. If you can't do it, I will go to Nanchu to find them!"

After the medicine was boiled, Ming took the medicine, lay down, holding Ye Chen's little hat in his arms, and slept much more peacefully.

Baili Su went out and sighed.

The heavy rain was still falling, just like the day he left Nanchu. On the last side, Ye Ying's cold side face appeared in his mind. Bai Li Su thought of what Ming said, asking him to marry Ye Ying back within this year, which felt very difficult...

Ye Ling returned to the Bamboo House of Prince's Mansion, and Nangong Heng was sleeping soundly. She lay on the bamboo couch on the first floor, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, and closing her eyes.
