Lord, your grass jelly has slipped away again [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 42

Ye Zi left the villa in a daze.

People were coming and going on the street, Ye Zi walked slowly among them, feeling for the first time that he didn't know where to go.

"Little Yezi, isn't this the way to the palace?" The little gray sparrow squatting on Ye Zi's shoulder wondered.

Ye Zi came back to his senses and shook his head: "I don't want to go back."

The little gray sparrow lowered its voice: "Little Ye Zi..."

"I'm fine." Ye Zi smiled lightly and patted his head, "I just... suddenly don't know what to do."

The person he saw in the portrait must be the man named Huaiyuan.

He didn't know what happened between Gu Yan and Huaiyuan, but he could feel Gu Yan's pain from that small room.It must be some painful and unbearable past that made that person a knot in his heart.

Ye Zi's heart was sore and astringent, and she murmured, "Que'er, isn't it too bad for me to stay by his side like this..."

Since he became a princess, Gu Yan has accommodated him in every possible way, almost to the point of obedience.He originally thought that Gu Yan might be interested in him, but now it seems that he just has a face similar to that person.

If he didn't have this face, would that person still treat him so well?

"Little Ye Zi, what are you thinking about?" Little Gray Sparrow asked next to his ear, "The prince kept you by his side, naturally because he likes you, so there's nothing wrong with it."

Ye Zi paused, his eyes dimmed slightly: "Does he... like me?"

"Of course." The little gray sparrow fluttered its wings twice and raised its voice slightly, "When I flew out of the palace yesterday, I heard the little eunuch say that the prince had a big fight with the emperor in the imperial study because of you, and said If you are really guilty, he is willing to pay with his life."

"...He is willing to sacrifice his life for you, isn't that what he likes?"

"I don't know." Ye Zi lowered his eyes, "But for Huaiyuan..."

"That's all in the past." Little Gray Sparrow said, "I was talking nonsense to you just now, the prince treats you so well, how could there be someone outside? And you didn't say it all, the prince has been talking for a year I haven't been there for a long time. Recently, you are by his side."

The little gray sparrow rubbed its head against Ye Zi's face: "I don't quite understand this, but those gentlemen and ladies in the scriptures never liked just one person in their lives. Could it be that they liked others in the past, but now they can't like other people?" Yet?"

Ye Zi was startled, and subconsciously shook her head: "That's not what I mean, I just... feel a little uncomfortable."

He used to think that Gu Yan never took anyone or anything into his heart, and he couldn't even believe it when he said he was going to get married.But only now did he realize that it was because that person had already pretended to be someone else in his heart, and he couldn't pretend to be anything else.

That person used all his strength and a hot heart to love that face that was exactly like him.

Will Gu Yan let go of such feelings easily?

Ye Zi was thinking in a daze, and didn't notice the sound of hooves and exclamations galloping behind him.It wasn't until the voice approached that the little gray sparrow screamed, and Ye Zi turned around belatedly.

A tall brown horse was galloping towards him, the man on the horse saw Ye Zi, and couldn't help but change his face: "Don't die, get out of here!"

Ye Zi was in a daze, and forgot to react for a moment, just staring blankly at the horse rushing towards him.Seeing that Ye Zi was about to be sucked under the horse's hoof, a person rushed out from the crowd, pulled Ye Zi behind him, and then kicked the galloping horse's hoof.

The brown horse neighed, tilted its body, and fell hard to the ground.

The man riding the horse couldn't dodge in time, and rolled off the horse's back in embarrassment.

Ye Zi came back to his senses, raised his eyes to see the person who gave him a hand, subconsciously stepped back half a step: "...Thank you, Shizi Xiao."

Xiao Min let go of his hand awkwardly and said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ye Zi shook his head, "This person..."

Several servants ran out from behind the crowd, hurriedly helping the man who had just rode the horse up.The man was young, well dressed, and he looked like he was from a wealthy family.

With the help of his servant, he stood up and cursed: "Who kicked this young master's horse?"

Xiao Min sneered: "I kicked it."

The man looked towards them and recognized the man in front of him: "So it's Shizi Xiao."

He glanced at Ye Zi, and said with a smile, "Where did Xiao Shizi find another little beauty? I still think it's some blind person blocking the way of young master Ben. Since he belongs to Xiao Shizi, then young master Ben It will not be pursued."

"You don't want to investigate, but I want to investigate." Xiao Min said coldly, "According to the current court's law, those who ride horses and gallop in downtown will be punished with fifty lashes. Someone, arrest them, and send them to the government."

Several honorary palace attendants stepped forward and surrounded the man and his family members.

The man was startled, and said angrily: "Xiao Shouyu, you are crazy! Believe it or not, I let my father..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was gagged by the attendants of Prince Yu's residence, pushed and took him away.

Only then did Xiao Min turn around to look at Ye Zi, and asked, "I remember you are very good at kung fu, what were you thinking just now? If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been injured."

Ye Zi lowered his eyes and didn't answer.

Xiao Min asked again: "Why didn't Zicheng accompany you today, how dangerous it is for you to come out alone."

Not many people knew about Gu Yan's investigation of the affair, Ye Zi didn't explain much: "He has something to do."

"So..." Xiao Min thought about it, and said, "Have you had lunch? I know there is a restaurant nearby that tastes good. If you don't mind..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Zi nodded: "Okay."

The two sat down in the private room of the restaurant.

It was noon, and the restaurant was buzzing with people, only the private room was relatively clean.Xiao Min carefully asked about Ye Zi's taste, ordered a few signature side dishes with ease, and sent the waiter away.

Xiao Min stood up and poured wine for Ye Zi, and said, "I blamed me for being ignorant and offended, and I've been looking for a chance to apologize to you in person. His family's sweet-scented osmanthus wine is a must, you can try it, if you like it..."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately came to his senses. When Emperor Jinghe held a banquet earlier, this person seemed to have said that he would not drink alcohol.

Xiao Min said: "Look at my brain, I forgot that you can't drink alcohol, so I'll ask someone to remove the alcohol—"

"No need." Ye Zi stopped him, "It's okay to drink a little."

Xiao Min wanted to say something more, but Ye Zi interrupted, "Who was that person just now?"

"The eldest son of Mr. Qi, the servant of Zhongshu." Xiao Min said disdainfully, "I'm a dude. I heard that he has ridden horses in the downtown area more than once. It's because his father is there that no one dares to deal with him."

Ye Zi said: "Your Majesty shouldn't stand up for me."

"It's okay, others are afraid of him, but I'm not afraid of him." Xiao Min said, "Besides, if Zicheng is here today, that person surnamed Qi almost hurt you, and the end will not be as simple as hitting fifty big boards."

Hearing this name, Ye Zi's eyes darkened slightly.

Xiao Min didn't notice his reaction, and smiled: "To tell you the truth, Zi Cheng and I grew up together since we were young, and when we read and read together, the Taifu slapped our palms. This is the first time I've seen him care so much about others."

Ye Zi's eyes moved: "First time?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Ye Zi lowered his eyes: "I heard...he seemed to have someone in his heart."

"What else is there?" Xiao Min was taken aback for a moment, and his voice couldn't help raising his voice.As if feeling that he was losing his composure, he coughed lightly, and said, "Zicheng used to be very bored, I really don't know about it. However, except for you, I have never seen anyone around him. You don't know, Zicheng him..."

Xiao Min was extremely talkative, chattering on and on with Ye Zi about the old acquaintance with Gu Yan, but Ye Zi hardly listened to it.

He had been immersed in a low mood before, and he had forgotten one thing. If Gu Yan and Huaiyuan were really together, why hadn't he seen that person in the past ten years in the palace?

Moreover, even his classmates who grew up with him and the shadow guards who had been with him for several years didn't know the existence of that person.

what on earth is it?

Ye Zi was hiding something in his heart, he ate listlessly, and couldn't help but drink two more glasses of wine during the dinner.This sweet-scented osmanthus wine was not like the wine Ye Zi drank before, it was not strong, although he felt a little dizzy after drinking it, he didn't feel intoxicated.

After lunch, Xiao Min had something to leave, so he proposed to send Ye Zi back home, but Ye Zi refused.

He bid farewell to Xiao Min and walked to the street alone.

The little gray sparrow flew back to him, and immediately smelled some alcohol: "Little Ye Zi, why are you drinking?"

He was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to go to the restaurant with him, so he stayed alone on a tree by the street and waited, so he didn't know what the two of them had said.

Ye Zi's consciousness gradually became confused, and his footsteps became a little messy. He shook his head and chuckled: "It's okay, I just drank a little."

The little gray bird looked at him worriedly.

After a while, Ye Zi asked again: "Que'er, do you think I should ask him?"

"But what can I ask him? Ask him if there is someone in his heart, if he still can't let it go, can't forget it?" The drunkenness hit him, and Ye Zi felt dizzy, leaning against a fence to take a rest .

Ye Zi squatted down, put his arms around his knees: "But if he says yes, what should I do?"

The little gray sparrow landed on Ye Zi's shoulder and said, "Little Ye Zi, I think you should ask."

"Do you know that there are a lot of misunderstandings between men and women in the storybook, just to keep things secret, and finally accumulate more and more, making yourself feel uncomfortable for no reason. Don't be like this..."

Ye Zi buried her head in her arms and muttered, not knowing what she was talking about.

"Little Leaf?" the little gray sparrow called twice, but there was no response.

He fluttered his wings and got into Ye Zi's arms, but saw that the man's eyes were closed tightly, as if he had fallen asleep.

The little gray sparrow bounced on Ye Zi's arm twice, annoyed: "You can't sleep here, how can I get you back like this? Little leaf, little leaf!"

But no matter what the little gray bird called him, Ye Zi still didn't respond.

They have already walked out of the downtown area, where there were not many people coming and going in the past.The little gray bird couldn't wake him up, so he had to squat beside Ye Zi and wait for him to wake up, and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long it has passed, suddenly there are footsteps coming from the alley.

There were two men who came, one tall and the other short, dressed in ordinary clothes, the tall man had a long and thin scar on his face.

The short man held a purse and weighed it twice: "Brother is really amazing, he tricked that girl into his hands with just a few words. Now, we will have nothing to worry about for a while."

The tall man smiled and said: "What do you know, I'm not lying. Those little girls who escaped from famine can't afford to eat. At least they won't be hungry after entering the Goulan. I found a way for them to survive."

As the two talked, they saw Ye Zi on the side of the road.

Ye Zi curled up beside the wall, her thin body wrapped in luxurious clothes, only a small section of slender white wrist and delicate profile of her face were exposed.

The short man was stunned for a moment, and after a while he came back to his senses and said, "Brother, do you think this man... drank too much?"

The tall man leaned down and lifted Ye Zi's face with his hand: "This face is really nice, if you sell it in Goulan, you will definitely earn more than those poor girls before."

The short man was a little hesitant: "Sell it? I think this man is well-dressed and doesn't look like an ordinary family. What if he is a powerful son..."

"What do you know." The tall man glanced at him, and said leisurely: "Whoever he is, he was given medicine and sent out of the city, and when he wakes up, he's nowhere to be, so you're afraid he won't succeed? "

The short man immediately echoed, "Brother is right."

While the two were talking, the little gray bird was woken up, he opened his eyes, just in time to see the tall man's hand still on Ye Zi's face.Before he had time to think about it, he flew up and pecked the man's hand hard.

The tall man withdrew his hand in pain, and cursed, "Where did you come from, stupid bird!"

The little gray sparrow was persistent, flapping its wings and pecking at the man a few times.Those two seemed to have some skills, but the little gray bird couldn't dodge in time, and was slapped onto the wall with a palm.

The little gray bird slammed into the fence, and then slid down, falling with stars in his eyes.

He shook his head, but when he looked up, he saw that the two men had already helped Ye Zi up.

A demonic light suddenly flashed in the little gray bird's eyes.

"You let him go!"
