Kapitel 206: Chapter 204 Ending

A farce ended here.

　　The two of them walked slowly along the long walkway in the palace hand in hand.

　　At this time, the sun has set to the west. The high palace walls are red and white tiles. When you look up, you can only see a small piece of heaven and earth.

　　This was the last section of the road leading out of the palace. The two of them hardly encountered any palace maids or eunuchs. They only saw from a distance the figures of the guards guarding the palace gate, stretched by the setting sun.

　　"Is the matter completely resolved?" Ye Anyian suddenly said.

　　Jiang Zhu glanced sideways at him and raised his lips: "What do you think?"

　　Ye Annian thought seriously for a while: "With the fall of Wei Zhihuai, the forces he relied on will soon be found out."

　　"I just don't know who the new emperor will be."

　　Jiang Zhu took his hand and shook it: "Don't worry, the only one who can sit in that seat is Wei Bingzhe."

　　Seeing that he said so confidently, Ye Anyian didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.

　　The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the two of them got on the carriage as soon as they left the palace gate.

　　The capital city is bustling with traffic, and every shop on the street seems to be doing brisk business, with an endless stream of guests coming and going.

　　Ye Annian looked out of the car window and looked at the busy people outside. Everyone was busy with what they were doing, with a faint smile on their face.

　　When the carriage was about to drive out of the city gate, suddenly there was the sound of bells ringing from the direction of the palace.

　　For a moment, the busy people on the street stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the imperial city.

　　I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ye Anian felt that the carriage he was riding in also stopped for a moment, and then he continued to walk.

　　When we returned to Baihezhai, it was already dark.

　　Seeing Jiang Zhu come back injured again, Zimo ran to Qiyun Pavilion and dug out a lot of ointments and powders, yelling, and piled them in front of Jiang Zhu.

　　As a result, Jiang Zhu slapped her in the face and wrinkled her nose in grievance. Only then did she become honest.

　　However, everyone in the restaurant was very happy when they heard the news that Wei Zhihuai was dead. Zi Mo Dian Dian'er ran to the dining hall to find Grandma Chen and said that they would have a good meal in the evening and everyone would celebrate together.

　　Recently, good things have happened one after another, and the atmosphere in Baihezhai is always filled with joy, which makes people happy with the spring breeze.

　　The next day, news came from the palace that the eldest prince had taken the initiative to step down and the King of Huai'an had succeeded to the throne.

　　Everything was as Jiang Zhu expected.

　　The sun is high, the wind is light and the clouds are light, it is another good weather.

　　Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu were sitting on the swings in the yard, watching Zi Mo hoeing the ground.

　　The grape vines above the head have covered the bamboo frame, and the palm-sized leaves are spread out above the head, just like setting up a natural pergola.

　　Ah Li ran in from outside holding the paper pinwheel that Ye Anian made for her. When she saw the two people sitting on the swing, she said, "Brother Ye, Brother Wanwan, someone is looking for you outside!"

　　"Oh? Who is he?" Jiang Zhu asked.

　　Ah Li tilted her head and thought for a moment, her face suddenly dropped, and she looked a little nervous.

　　Ye Annian comforted her: "It's okay, can you tell me?"

　　"Yes, a man in armor," Ah Li clenched her fists, "with a knife!"

　　What happened in Yueliang City, as well as Wei Zhihuai's men setting fire to the mountain and forcing their way into Baihe Zhai, all left a big shadow on the little girl's heart.

　　Therefore, when she saw someone wearing armor, she subconsciously thought he was a bad person.

　　Jiang Zhu stopped the swing with his feet and stood up: "I'll go take a look."

　　Ye Annian also stood up: "I'll go too."

　　Jiang Zhu thought for a while, but did not refuse. He stretched out his hand to pull him up, and the two of them walked out together.

　　As soon as I walked out of the gate of Baihezhai, I saw people waiting at the door.

　　Wearing a dark suit and silver soft armor, Jiang Zhu recognized him as Wei Bingzhe's personal guard, Sun Xian.

　　"Master Jiang Zhai." Sun Xiang saluted Jiang Zhu, "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he will give you a large number of rewards. You have contributed to killing the assassin before, and the emperor specially sent his subordinates to come here to send you a thank you gift."

　　"Thank you." Jiang Zhu said softly.

　　Sun Xian clapped his hands, and the two guards following behind him immediately stepped forward.

　　Ye Anyian saw that the two men were holding two trays in their hands, both covered with red cloth.

　　Jiang Zhu did not accept it immediately or lift the red cloth, but glanced at Sun Xian.

　　Sun Xian said, "Master Jiang Zhai, please open it and take a look."

　　Jiang Zhu then stepped forward and uncovered the red cloth on both trays.

　　On the tray, one was on the left and the other on the right. On the left was an edict, and on the right was a pile of neatly stacked gold.

　　Jiang Zhu only glanced at the edict and reached out to the tray on the right.

　　Sun Xian: "Master Jiang Zhai, have you thought about it? Since it is a reward from the emperor, it is okay to have both."

　　"No need," Jiang Zhu replied simply, "Your Majesty, he should know my temper. Rather than being a high-ranking official and receiving a generous salary, I would rather retire and live in seclusion."

　　After that, he took the plate of gold, called Ye Anyian, and left without any nostalgia.

　　Sun Xian watched as the two men's backs slowly disappeared, then he looked back and said to his two men, "Let's go."

　　One of the men asked: "He just left like this? Didn't he even read what was written on the plate on the left?"

　　Sun Xian picked up the edict in the tray, opened it, and saw that it was an imperial decree conferring a title on it.

　　It roughly reads: Jiang Shengwan had the merit of following the dragon and was granted the title of Marquis of Pingjing, but he could be hereditary and ignored.

　　The little guard glanced at it and sighed: "What a pity. If he opened the edict and read it, he would definitely not choose the one hundred taels of gold."

　　"He can." Sun Xian said, leading two of his men down the mountain. "Our emperor is very accurate in judging people. Jiang Shengwan is not someone who covets official positions. He is very sober."

　　"Really?" The little guard still didn't seem to understand and scratched his head.

　　He chose gold instead of a hereditary title. He saw that the White Crane House was built well. The owner of the house must not be short of money, right?

　　Isn't this stupid?

　　On the other side, Jiang Zhu took the reward of one hundred taels of gold and returned to Yishe with Ye Anian.

　　Although Ye Anyian didn't know what was written in the edict, he believed in Jiang Zhu's choice.

　　The two returned to the bedroom. Jiang Zhu put the tray on the table and said to Ye Anian: "You have to keep this much gold well."

　　To be honest, this was the first time Ye Annian saw so much gold that blinded people's eyes. He picked up a piece and weighed it in his hand. It was really quite weighty.

　　"But to be honest, I really like gold more than that edict." Ye Anyian said.

　　Jiang Zhu reached out and gently scratched his nose, then smiled and said, "I knew it."

　　Ye Annian took out a small locked box from the cabinet in the bedroom, put it on the table and opened the lock.

　　Inside the box were several thick stacks of silver notes, a stack of gold bars, and various land and house deeds.

　　This is their little treasury.

　　He rearranged the contents of the box and put the gold bars in one by one.

　　When I got to the bottom, I saw two gold medals placed on the red cloth covered by the tray, and there seemed to be words on them.

　　"What's this?"

　　He picked up one piece and looked at it. Jiang Zhu picked up the other piece.

　　"Is this a death-free gold medal?" Jiang Zhu was surprised.

　　He didn't expect that in addition to gold, Wei Bingzhe also gave them two death-free gold medals.

　　Ye Annian looked at the engraving on the gold medal and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Although it shouldn't be used, I like this."

　　Jiang Zhu hooked his shoulders, pulled him to her side, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I like it too."

　　…

　　Wei Bingzhe came to power and swiftly put down all doubts in the court. Because he was still in the old emperor's filial piety period, the whole country took off their crowns and tassels, wore plain braids, stopped wearing mourning clothes and got married, and all kinds of entertainment were banned. .

　　For a moment, the whole country fell silent.

　　However, this atmosphere does not affect the people living far away in Baihezhai.

　　The weather is getting hotter day by day, and in the small courtyard of Yiju, the vegetable seeds and flower seeds planted by Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu are growing green seedlings.

　　Ye Anyian's belly finally showed some changes, but because he was too thin, even though it had been five months, his lower abdomen was still only slightly bulging.

　　The early morning sickness has finally passed, and I feel much better.

　　The injury on Jiang Zhu's hand was almost healed, because it was treated promptly and not even a scar was left.

　　Now, Ziyu is still in charge of the affairs in Zhaili, and Jiang Zhu spends all his time with Ye Anian.

　　However, Jiang Zhu or Jiang promised her that he would let her leave Baihe Zhai after Dao Ye Annian gave birth safely.

　　When the time comes, someone will be sent to pick up Fu Zai and Ding Qiu.

　　Now that Ding Qiu is twelve or thirteen years old, he is going to start teaching him how to deal with some things in the prison. When he brings the person out, he can completely give up and raise the child with Ye Anian until the child grows up. , they left Baihezhai and walked around.

　　If you like somewhere along the way, stop, buy a house, and live there.

　　Ye Anyian didn't know what he was planning, and now he was like a complete salted fish.

　　Every day when I wake up, in addition to sitting on the swing in the yard and basking in the sun, I go to the pool in the back garden to feed the fish, go to the herbal medicine hall to watch the disciples in class, and go to the front yard to listen to the disciples reading.

　　All in all, it feels like a leisurely retirement.

　　Moreover, it seems that none of the many restrictions and restrictions he thought he would be subject to after becoming pregnant.

　　When Zhao Le had chatted with him before, he had said that when he was pregnant, he was not allowed to eat this or that at home. He couldn't eat when he had morning sickness and lost a lot of weight. When he stopped vomiting later, he started to try his best to get him to eat more. Some, so I can make up for it.

　　I eat eggs and duck eggs every day until I feel like vomiting.

　　Ye Annian thought about this period of time, but no one had ever forced him to eat anything, but also, except Jiang Zhu, no one in the entire Baihe Zhai dared to care about him.

　　But Jiang Zhu, apart from cooking him food in different ways every day, never forced him to eat more.

　　The most common thing Jiang Zhu said was: "As long as you feel full, there is no need to eat too much. If you can't eat, don't eat. When you are hungry, call me again."

　　Ye Annian thinks this is good.

　　But after such idle days passed for a long time, he began to get bored.

　　Today, the weather is nice.

　　After he had breakfast, Jiang Zhu took him for a walk in the back mountain medicine garden.

　　"I want to go down the mountain and take a walk."

　　Ye Anian was pulled by Jiang Zhu and moved one step at a time, unwilling to move.

　　"What, are you tired of staying in the mountains?" Jiang Zhu smiled.

　　"No," Ye Anyian thought for a moment and said, "I just want to go out for a walk occasionally."

　　"Well, let's leave now while it's still early and the sun is still bright."

　　Ye Anyian nodded and smiled with a crooked eyebrow.

　　Jiang Zhu went into the house and took a money bag and a kettle, and gave Ye Anyian a hat to protect him from the sun, and the two of them went down the mountain lightly.

Baiyun Town at the foot of the mountain was very lively today, as it was a big gathering.

　　The two of them took advantage of the fact that there were not too many people, wandered around for a while, and bought a lot of things.

　　As soon as he came out of the market, he ran into a group of prison cars escorted by officers and soldiers.

　　The people in the car all had disheveled hair, their hands and feet were shackled, and they were wearing uniform prison uniforms. They looked so embarrassed.

　　Ye Annian was just curious when he heard the people next to him talking.

　　"Bah!" Someone spat at the prison car, "They are all the lackeys of Wei Zhihuai!"

　　"Just being exiled is too cheap for them!"

　　"Yes, after following Wei Zhihuai and doing so many evil things, in the end he was just exiled!"

　　"Hey, I can't say that. I heard that I was exiled to the North. It's a bitter cold land of ice and snow. It's a long way. Maybe I can't get there and people will be gone. Even if I get there, I'm afraid it won't be there. Can't survive."

　　These words seemed to comfort people, and everyone continued to denounce these prisoners.

　　Ye Anyian stood in the crowd, looking at the people in the prison car from a distance, and suddenly felt that there was a figure that seemed familiar to him.

　　"That is...?"

　　He couldn't believe it and glanced at Jiang Zhu next to him.

　　Jiang Zhu nodded: "It's him."

　　Among the many prisoners, there was a thin man with disheveled hair holding on to the wooden pole of the prison car.

　　He was dirty with a lot of rotten vegetable leaves thrown by the people, but he still raised his head and looked at everyone in the crowd calmly.

　　Until he saw two familiar figures in the crowd.

　　Ye Annian looked at Liu Zhuo and moved his lips, but in the end, he said nothing.

　　At this time, Liu Zhuo also saw him, and his gray eyes suddenly lit up.

　　He grabbed the wooden pole and looked this way with all his strength.

　　"I haven't lost! I... haven't lost yet!"

　　"You wait...!"

　　He was so excited that the chains on his hands and feet rattled.

　　Soon, an official came over, hit the wooden pole of the prison cage with his saber, and yelled: "Be honest!"

　　After a while of cursing, the prison van drove past and went further and further away.

　　Ye Anyian took one last look at the prison car and looked away.

　　Jiang Zhu patted his shoulder and pulled him towards her: "Let's go."

　　"Yeah." Ye Anyian nodded.

　　He knew that Liu Zhuo's end would not be too good.

　　But so what, he chose the path himself, and the outcome was already determined the moment he made the choice.

　　Seeing that it was getting late, the two returned to Baiyun Mountain.

　　Since Jiang Zhu's body recovered, he has begun to re-practice Xie Xiaogong's unique internal skills. Now that his internal strength has recovered 10%, it will not be a problem to take Ye Anian and fly back to Baihezhai directly with the Cloud Step.

　　The two walked on a short mountain road. When there were no pedestrians on the road, Jiang Zhu handed the things in his hands to Ye Annian.

　　He stretched out his hand, picked him up horizontally, pointed his toes, and swept towards the top of the mountain.

　　With the breeze blowing in his ears, Ye Annian put his arms around Jiang Zhu's neck, rested his head on his shoulder, and closed his eyes leisurely.

　　The warm breath swept across Jiang Zhu's neck, which made him feel itchy and crispy. It caused the blood and qi in his body to surge, and he almost lost his power.

　　Fortunately, in this moment, they had arrived.
