Western Liang was thousands of miles away from the capital, and Ye Chunnan was in the army camp, so he was not well-informed. He had never heard of Yaoyao being left out at Chengde Villa. Even if he had heard it, he would not have believed it …
If it was in the past, he might have suspected it, but he was not blind. He could tell if Mo Rongzhan was sincere towards Yaoyao. Moreover, Yaoyao was pregnant with his child. Even if Mo Rongzhan's brain was squeezed, it was impossible for him to like the new and dislike the old at this time. There must be some other reason.
"You said that Milord is going to the capital to take Her Ladyship away?" Ye Chunnan looked at Jiang Erniu. He had never seen this person before, so he must have been secretly helping his father. "And to take Yaoyao out to sea?"
Jiang Erniu looked simple and honest. He nodded. "Young Master, Milord said so!"
Ye Chunnan frowned. Did Yaoyao really suffer in the capital? Impossible! Would Mo Rongzhan let his sister suffer? Could Father have misunderstood?
Jin Shanshan said, "I also heard that after the Emperor conferred the title of Consort Shu, the Empress was forced to move to Chengde Villa. However, it seems that Consort Shu in the palace was poisoned!"
"Something did happen in the capital!" Ye Chunnan said in a low voice. "But it is not Yaoyao … The Emperor probably wants to deal with someone. In order to protect Yaoyao, he sent her to Chengde Villa. As for Father's reason for doing this, he must have his own considerations. Since he sent Jiang Erniu to tell me about this, he probably wants me not to worry!"
"Yaoyao is the Jin Kingdom's Empress. How can she leave so easily?" Jin Shanshan asked in surprise. She should be giving birth soon.
Ye Chunnan also did not understand this point. "Jiang Erniu, did Milord leave any other words?"
Jiang Erniu said, "Milord left a letter for me to pass to you …"
"Why didn't you take out the letter just now?" Ye Chunnan said impatiently. This Jiang Erniu looked silly. Could he really be a fool?
"Young Master, you kept asking me questions. I didn't have time to take it out!" Jiang Erniu smiled foolishly and took out a letter from his bosom!
Ye Chunnan didn't know what to say. He took the letter and looked at the handwriting. It was indeed his father's, but he didn't understand the contents of the letter.
The capital is treacherous. Take Yaoyao away from danger. Do not think, do not worry, do not believe in rumors.
What did that mean? Ye Chunnan was confused again. He exchanged a look with Jin Shanshan, telling him not to believe the rumors. That meant that he should not believe the matter of Yaoyao falling out of favor. Or was there something else that he did not know?
"No matter what, since Father has said so, I believe that nothing will happen," Ye Chunnan said, "Anyway, whether Yaoyao is in the capital or by Father's side, nothing will happen."
Jin Shanshan looked at Jiang Erniu and asked, "Second Uncle Jiang, have they already left Jinkou City?"
"He left a few days ago," said Jiang Erniu.
Ye Chunnan felt that he wouldn't be able to get any important information out of Jiang Erniu. His father must have thought that no matter how important a letter Jiang Erniu was carrying, no one would be able to tell. Who would let an idiot deliver a letter?
"You can leave first." Ye Chunnan waved his hand and called Ge Kuan in. He asked him to arrange for Jiang Erniu to eat and rest first.
"It seems that something has really happened in the capital. It's just that we don't know yet," Jin Shanshan said to Ye Chunnan in a low voice, "I didn't hear much on the way here. I've been worried that Yaoyao has been wronged in the capital. Will the Emperor really …"
Ye Chunnan shook his head and said, "When we were in Anhe City, I saw it clearly. It's impossible for the Emperor to neglect Yaoyao. He must have a reason for doing this."
Jin Shanshan said, "Then let's wait for more news. Maybe there will be some rumors in the capital soon. Otherwise, Father wouldn't have left these words."
"Okay." Ye Chunnan kept the letter and looked at Jin Shanshan. "Didn't I ask you to stay in the capital? Why did you come here?"
"Why would I go to the capital? You're not in the capital!" Jin Shanshan blushed. Although the two of them were married, they didn't spend much time alone together. When she was in Dongqing, she thought about him every day and worried about whether he would get hurt. If he left her alone in the capital, she would definitely be worried every day. It was better for him to come here and accompany her.
Ye Chunnan grinned and slowly lowered his head. His thin lips lingered on her cheeks as he said, "Do you miss me that much?"
Jin Shanshan glared at him and wanted to avoid his teasing, but Ye Chunnan hugged her tightly in his arms. "If you don't want me to stay by your side, then I'll leave. I'll go out to sea with Yaoyao …"
How many years would that take! Ye Chunnan covered her lips to relieve the pain of missing her. After lingering for a while, he hugged her in his arms and panted. "It's good that you stay here. I don't have to worry about you all the time. However, you can't stay in the military camp. Wanyan Xi gave me a house in the city. You can stay in the city!"
"I want to stay by your side!" Jin Shanshan said with a frown.
"That won't do. Shanshan, you'll distract me!" Ye Chunnan held her hand. "I've always been worried about you in the past. Even more so now. I won't have to worry if you live in the city!"
Jin Shanshan pouted and looked at him.
Ye Chunnan laughed. "Don't look at me like that. I won't let you go to the battlefield. I'm your husband now. If you go to the battlefield, I'll definitely be distracted by protecting you and worrying about you. Shanshan, I don't want to lose you!"
"I don't want to lose you either. So, no matter what, you have to be well!" Jin Shanshan said.
Ye Chunnan smiled and nodded. "I will!"
A few days later, Ye Chunnan heard the news that Lu Yaoyao had died in childbirth. He looked at Ge Kuan in disbelief. "Where did you hear this?"
"It's suddenly spread in the city these two days. General, this matter … is it true? Why isn't there any news from the capital?" Ge Kuan asked carefully. If the Empress had been wronged in the capital, he felt that their general would definitely not be able to stay in Xiliang!
Ye Chunnan walked back and forth. He had long wanted to return to the capital to investigate, but it was a critical time in Xiliang!
Was someone purposely spreading this news to disturb his army's morale?
"Send someone back to the capital secretly to find out. Don't alarm anyone else!" Ye Chunnan whispered to Ge Kuan.
He thought of his father's letter. Perhaps, his father had told him not to believe this matter!
If something had really happened to Yaoyao, his father would not have gone out to sea at this time. So, someone must be using Yaoyao to sow discord. What did they want him to do?
