199: Visiting the Duke’s Mansion at night
Thinking of this, Ye Chengyan was completely relieved.
He knew that the emperor's uncle acted appropriately and would save him enough face, so he did not stay any longer and left Prince Yu's Mansion soon.
Ye Siheng then said: "The prince is about to marry Miss Rong Er. If something happens to the Zhenguo Palace at this time, the wedding will probably be delayed."
The delay is still a minor matter. If the engagement is broken off, Rong Dongling will have no way to survive.
Nan Li thought for a while and said: "Although we believe that the whole family is one, if this matter has nothing to do with Miss Rong Er, there is no need to let her take responsibility, right?"
Yesi Heng shook his head gently, "The Crown Princess is the future mother of the country, so she must have a clean family fortune and make people speechless."
Nan Li also understood this truth and could only sigh.
Since she wanted to go to the Zhen Guogong Mansion to investigate, she just did it without any delay.
Yesi Heng also wanted to follow, and Nan Li also posted an invisibility charm on him.
As soon as the teleportation talisman was used, the two of them had arrived at the Zhenguo Duke's mansion.
The Duke of Zhen is one of the Eight Dukes, so his mansion is certainly not small.
The two of them had the invisibility talisman, so they didn't have to dodge. No one could see them even if they were strutting around the house.
Nan Li made a hand seal and released a paper crane.
The paper crane followed the yin energy of the deceased and flew neither too fast nor too slowly, and the two of them could keep up.
Finally the paper crane flew into a yard.
The courtyard door was closed, and the two of them planned to climb over the wall.
But at this moment Nan Li frowned, for no other reason than because the paper crane was destroyed, and because her spell was added to it, she could feel it.
Her paper crane also has the spell of invisibility, and it was actually seen by others, which shows that the person has some skills.
They climbed over the wall and saw that the paper crane had been broken into pieces and fell to the ground.
A flash of surprise also flashed in Ye Siheng's eyes.
There was a man standing in the corridor. He stood with his hands behind his hands and said, "Since the Ninth Prince and the Ninth Princess want to come to the Duke's Mansion as guests, there is no need to hide anything."
Nanli raised her eyebrows.
It was really seen.
She removed the invisibility charms from herself and Yesi Heng, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you have such a sharp eye."
Rong Zhiyun stepped forward, with no smile on his face.
He bowed according to the rules and said: "Although I don't know why the prince and princess are here, I invite you two to drink a cup of hot tea. You two won't refuse, right?"
Yesi Heng was also thick-skinned, "Of course I can't."
Rong Zhiyun invited them into the house.
The servants immediately became busy.
The Duke of Zhen Guo is old and only holds a sinecure position. He rarely visits the court, but the influence of the Duke of Zhen Guo's office is still there.
Although Ye Siheng is a prince, if the officials in the court find out about Ye Siheng's night visit to the Duke's mansion, they will definitely feel disgusted.
However, Nan Li didn't think about this. After sitting down, he asked: "Prince Rong, are you also proficient in Taoism?"
Otherwise, how could we see them and the paper cranes.
"It's just a little research." Rong Zhiyun poured tea for the two of them, and said in a slow and leisurely tone, "It was also given the opportunity by the Ninth Princess. If the Ninth Princess used some advanced Taoism, I wouldn't be able to tell."
Nan Li doesn't think so.
It can be seen that her magic skills are quite capable.
Although he does not have the yin energy of the deceased, it does not mean that the purchase of yang life has nothing to do with him.
Yesi Heng asked, "Why don't you see Mrs. Ling?"
Rong Zhiyun's eyes froze slightly, and he lowered his eyes, as if avoiding the glare of Ye Siheng's eyes. He said: "My wife is not feeling well and has rested. If the prince wants to see my wife, please remember to pay attention next time."
Come as a guest someday."
These words were sarcastic, and Ye Siheng just pretended not to hear them, his expression remained indifferent.
Nan Li suddenly said: "In fact, when a person dies, he should be buried in the earth and his soul should be reincarnated, instead of being forced to stay in the human world. Prince Rong, what do you think?"
Rong Zhiyun's expression changed and he stared at Nan Li sharply.
The cup in his hand couldn't help but shake, and the tea almost spilled out.
Yesi Heng was puzzled and asked: "Why did you say this suddenly? You scared Prince Rong."
"The Crown Prince's wife should be dead." Nan Li replied, "It should have been three months, right?"
Ye Siheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
Countless thoughts flashed through Rong Zhiyun's mind at the same time, but the person sitting in front of him was Yesi Heng, whose aura was overwhelming. No matter how many thoughts he had, he could only accept them at this moment.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, and then drank the tea in one gulp.
Putting the cup heavily on the table, he felt a little helpless and a little angry, "I have obviously cleared away the smell from my body and the yard, I wonder how the Ninth Princess can still see it?"
"Although there is no Yin Qi at the moment, Mrs. Shizi has still lived in this courtyard after her death. Due to the influence of her aura, this courtyard is completely barren," Nan Li said.
Even the orchid grass placed on the small table is wilted and will wither soon.
Rong Zhiyun followed her gaze, then sighed softly and said, "My wife doesn't know anything about her, so why don't you two show your respect?"
"So, is it really you who went to the slums to buy Yangshou?" Nan Li asked.
Rong Zhiyun knew that he couldn't deny it, so he simply nodded: "I sent people there. The ancestors left a magic weapon that can refining Yangshou to extend life, so I gave it to my wife to use."
Nan Li was angry in his heart, "In order to let your wife stay in the earth for a while longer, you bought and sold the life of the world. Do you know how big the impact will be? It is very likely that many people will not be able to enter the underworld and reincarnate, and there is even a possibility of disappearing into thin air!"
"So what." Rong Zhiyun's eyes were calm, "I just want my wife to stay for a while. I paid for Yang Shou, and it's a matter of mutual consent. I don't know which law I violated."
Even if it was one more day, he would have no regrets.
"After a person dies, if you force her to stay where she is, not only you, but the entire people in the Zhenguo Palace will be eroded by the Yin Qi. If it goes on for a long time, it will definitely be affected." Nan Li said.
Rong Zhiyun shook his head, this was something he had never thought of.
Yesi Heng added: "Although there is no law that stipulates that Yangshou cannot be bought and sold, there is really nothing we can do about you, the Crown Prince. However, our royal family can dissolve the engagement between the Crown Prince and your sister."
Hearing this, Rong Zhiyun stood up suddenly and glared angrily: "How dare you?!"
His sister has been observing mourning for three years and is waiting to marry Ye Chengyan. If the marriage fails, who else will dare to marry his sister in the future.
Yesi Heng's eyes were cold: "Whenever you do anything, you should think about the consequences. You are the eldest son of the Zhenguo Palace, and you belong to the family. You are not the only one."
Rong Zhiyun's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly.
He gasped lowly, not knowing how to defend or refute.
He closed his eyes and after calming down, he knelt down directly in front of Yesi Heng: "Please, Your Majesty, give the Zhenguo Government a way out."
