When the imperial edict arrived, both were having their breakfast. Ye Huaiyang was still thinking how to get Chu Jinglan to eat more but was interrupted by the sharp voice of a eunuch. This displeased her very much as Chu Jinglan unexpectedly did not continue his meals but prepared to enter the Imperial Palace immediately, so she followed him back to the room to assist him change his clothes.

The eunuch was still waiting outside yet her actions were not swift. Just buttoning up the black-honed dragon brocade robe took her half a day. Seemingly having lost her soul, she stared blankly at the shining sapphire and didnt even realize several of Chu Jinglans glances.

Whats wrong?

Awakened by his deep voice, Ye Huaiyang instantly regained her consciousness and immediately unfurled a smile, Husband looks so suave in this attire that Qieshen[1] is staring in fascination.

Even the self-address emerged abruptly after more than a month into the marriage when she has never been so subservient before.

Chu Jinglan knew she must be hiding something in her heart, but he didnt point it out. He just glanced at her profoundly then fastened the rest of the buttons himself, ready to head out. Who knew he was stopped by Ye Huaiyang again after only taking a few steps. When he turned around, a pair of pale slender arms wrapped around him immediately.

Go and return early. Ill wait for you to come back for dinner.

Ye Huaiyang stood on tiptoes to plant a kiss on his face. Her soft tender lips brought out an extremely comfortable sensation. Chu Jinglan stared at her dimples with tiny stars flashing across his eyes. He then turned around and left. Ye Huaiyang watched until his figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor before the smile on her face completely disappeared.

Yueya, get Ci Yuan to prepare a carriage.

Surprisingly, Yueya didnt ask much but turned around to do it. Ci Yuans actions were also very swift. No sooner had Chu Jinglan barely left in a carriage, Ye Huaiyang was closely behind in another carriage. Although they were not going the same way, the destination, nevertheless, was the samethe Imperial Palace.

Though she wasnt there to receive the imperial edict earlier, she did hear perfectly clear the content when the eunuch read it aloud. Without granting him a troop or even a soldier, the Emperor wanted Chu Jinglan to quell the rebels in Jingzhou. Wasnt this sending him to death? Even if she couldnt stop this, she still had to think of a way to follow him. It would eventually be better than letting him go through the dangers himself. Fortunately, the Empress had given her a token to enter the Imperial Palace last time. Now she could put it to good use to convince the Empress to allow her to go with Chu Jinglan to Jingzhou under the guise of surveillance.

It was just that the Empress is also someone not easy to deal with and it would take some time to dispel her suspicions. Ye Huaiyangs dark eyebrows furrowed deeply as she contemplated and did not speak since she boarded the carriage. But it was strange that Yueya, who usually loves to ask questions, also didnt say a word, which made Ye Huaiyang feel somewhat rare.

Why are you so quiet today and not even asking anymore what Im going to do in the palace?

Yueya curled her lips and said, Is there a need to ask? Nine times out of ten are all for Wangye.

Youve learned to be smarter. Ye Huaiyang raised her lips and laughed, but her delicate face was still shrouded with wisp of sorrows, Pack our stuff when we go back later and ask Ci Yuan to transfer several experts over. Just pack lightly as Im going to Jingzhou with Wangye.

Yueya hummed faintly and then said, Young Miss, do we need to let Eight Young Master know?

Eyebrows ticked, Ye Huaiyang bantered, In the past, you usually kept him informed yourself even without me asking, so how come you are abiding by the rules all of a sudden?

Thats because youve always contended everything alone and Nubi is worried about you! Yueya blurted out. She lowered her eyes after a brief pause and reluctantly squeezed out some words, But this time you are going with Wangye, perhaps he can protect you.

Why the sudden change of opinion about Wangye? Ye Huaiyang became interested, she propped her chin up and stared at her calmly.

that day Nubi chatted with Imperial Bodyguard Tang for a while. He told me that while Wangye was in Northern Land, Wangye wouldnt let anyone get close to him before. But after returning to Wangdu, not knowing what was the matter that Wangye was inclined to be tenaciously eaten* by you. Even when you you get fresh with him, he still indulged you in every possible way. If it were anyone else, they would have been long chopped into pieces and tossed out to feed the dog.

[T/N: Tenaciously eaten ( Ch d s s) willingly get bullied / no resistance / emotionally attached and unable to extricate oneself]

Pretending to be serious, Ye Huaiyang smiled and nodded her head, He does indulges me.

With a helpless look, Yueya still finished her words.

Thats why Nubi feels that perhaps Wangye does care about you but he is just unable to express it for some reasons. And the eldest and eighth young master have instead distanced you from him by protecting you like this. So, it would be best to trust in your judgment.

Not bad, finally enlightened. Ye Huaiyangs smile gradually widened, even the tips of her eyebrows stretched out. Xiner doesnt understand because he doesnt know how hard it is for Wangye to make it this far based on Wangyes personality, but he has actually treated me very well.

He condones her presumptuousness, her nonsense, and even her schemes. This was already his way of conveying his tenderness. Others do not understand and were unable to comprehend. She, however, regarded him as her most precious because she knew she was gaining access to the door of his heart bit by bit.

It is said that a woman pursuing a man is through a layer of veil, which easily reaches but no one knows that this layer of veil is the hardest to pierce through. She needed patience and faith to persevere, while he also needed time to breach the shadow of his past. A lifetime is still a long way, so why the momentary impatience? She has faith in him and also in herself, hence she doesnt care what others say or do.

She is simply steadfast in this matter of loving him.

During the course of conversation, the Imperial Palaces gate came into sight with the imperial guards standing erect with strong armors and cold blades. The opened vermilion iron gate is like the mouth of a huge beast that incessantly devoured people. With just a glance through the heavy curtain, Yueya could feel coldness all over her body that she couldnt help but exhorted in a small voice, Young Miss, be wary at all times.

Dont worry. Ye Huaiyang kept her playful expression away before getting off the carriage with her lips pursed as she slowly walked towards the palace gate.

Meanwhile, another imperial edict descended upon Yong school at the outer part of the imperial city.

Green tiles and gray walls with white stone-paved paths plus several scattered houses made up the overall landscape of Yong school. A hollowed lattice wall divides the courtyard. The front part is for students attending classes with ongoing noises of readings, while the backyard is for teachers to handle school affairs which were uninhabited quietly.

After Pei Yuanshu sent the eunuch who came to proclaim the imperial edict off, he turned around and walked towards the side of the wall. He however, heard some rustling noise from the yellow groves of the golden leaf privet. He turned his head to scan around when a pink shadow suddenly leapt out which caused him to stagger backwards and almost fall to the ground out of fright. Looking clearly at the person, he immediately felt a slight relief before coming up with queries.

Huailing, why arent you attending classes in the front courtyard but sneaked out here?

I was going to ask Teacher about homework. Ye Huailing paused and slowly narrowed her eyes then stared at the bright yellow scroll in Pei Yuanshus hand with enmity, I didnt expect Teacher would just quit teaching and leave without even notifying us beforehand.

Pei Yuanshu was immediately dumbfounded, When did this Teacher speak of quitting? Its just that I have an errand to attend to at this moment and will come back to teach after Im done.

Oh? What errand? Ye Huailing intentionally asked.

Didnt you hear at all? The Emperor is sending this Teacher to Jingzhou to investigate the local officials

Dont lie to me! Ye Huailing interrupted his words abruptly. Her clear saucer-like eyes stared while the pale slender finger directly jabbed on his chest, which made him itch and numb, You think Im stupid? Whats investigating the local officials? You were obviously sent to spy on brother-in-law Wangye!

Pei Yuanshu had a drastic change of expression that he couldnt care less about the distinction of sexes, he raised his hand to cover that glowing pink lips and looked around for a while before dragging her to a corner then hissed at her in a low voice, Do you know what you are talking about?

Ye Huailing mumbled indistinctly. As she couldnt struggle free, she simply opened her mouth and bit the hand. Pei Yuanshu shrank with pain and quickly let go. Before he could even carefully look at the teeth marks on his hand, he heard her rant with fury, Have I spoken wrongly that you have to chide me like this?

You He was rendered speechless. The thick eyebrows were twisted into a knot, yet he couldnt do anything but coax her softly, Its this Teachers fault and shouldnt have reprimanded you, but the matters of the royal court are not as simple as you think that you shouldnt speak so recklessly.

Ye Huaiyang snorted, delicate like a weeping oriole, yet bore a little stubbornness, How was I reckless? Those officials in Jingzhou have long conspired with that Deng family, so what is there to investigate? Whats the point of sending you there if its not with an ulterior motive?

Huailing! Pei Yuanshus voice was aggravated and full of warning, The wall has ears, dont say anymore.

I must say! Are you really going to be ordered to spy on my brother-in-law?

Pei Yuanshu closed his eyes, his face full of helplessness.

Classes are about to end soon and if he continues to entangle with Ye Huailing like this, others might truly hear them which would be troublesome. Ye Huailing however, was still obstinate. He was afraid he might not be able to leave here today if he didnt explain it clearly to her. Thinking about this, he sighed a long breath before staring into her eyes and slowly said, It shouldnt be completely like this. After all, Jingzhou is a dangerous place. One more person means an extra assurance and the main thing is being able to assist Wangye in getting the matters done.

Unexpectedly, his words didnt have any comforting effect, instead it made Ye Huaiyang flatten her lips.

Then, cant the Emperor send someone with martial arts? You are a frail scholar whose arms cant carry and shoulders cant contend, whats to be done if something happens to you?

Pei Yuanshu was stunned and it took him quite a while to respond as he asked hesitantly, You are not worried about Wangye?

Hearing that, Ye Huailing was also dumbfounded that she burst out a giggle. She then looked at him like a fool and said, How strange are those words. My brother-in-law naturally has my elder sister to worry for him, so why should I be bothered?

Then, then you Pei Yuanshus mind was filled with confusion, and his speech began to stutter again.

She resumed her words sharply, Im just worried about Teacher. How can you still teach me if you come back with a missing arm or a broken leg?

This trip is indeed beset with crisis and the outcome is unpredictable. How about how about this Teacher introduce another tutor to you, who is very learned, erudite and also a friend of mine

Before he finished the sentence, he was interrupted by a roar from Ye Huailing, Pei Yuanshu, youre such a dork!

She shook her sleeve off vigorously and walked away. The stone path was stomped with a thud as if she was using it as an outlet to vent her anger, yet Pei Yuanshu behind her was startled and couldnt understand how he had offended her again.

She was worried that he would not be able to come back and continue teaching, so he recommended another teacher to her. Whats wrong with that?
