As soon as midnight passed, the pain in Ye Lu's body slowly disappeared, as if time had a spell on it.
Turning over and sitting up, Ye Lu slowly shook her neck.
Not only did the pain in her body gradually subside, her head also became lighter and lighter.
She no longer felt like there was a stone pressing on her head, she felt much more comfortable.
Mai Tang was away, so she came back in the afternoon, but Ye Lu was in a daze and didn't listen to what she said at all.
He didn't come back after that, presumably he was with the Five Kings.
She couldn't help but think of the morning.
In fact, now she knew that she had seen it wrong.
It was Zhu Beiyu who sent her to the room, not Shen Tuyi.
She was probably crazy about Shen Tuyi.
Even though her aura was so different, she still admitted her mistake.
Fortunately, one part of her mind was clear.
Looking back now, that aura was clearly that of Zhu Beiyu.
Getting off the bed, Ye Lu put on his shoes and walked out of the room step by step.
The lights were brightly lit.
Because it was New Year, the lights in the mansion were particularly bright.
Countless glazed lanterns were also burning in this small building, making it look like daylight.
I limped downstairs, and there was food on the dining table on the first floor, all covered with copper covers to preserve the temperature.
Ye Lu glanced at it, then walked around the table and walked towards the door.
Stepping outside the hall, Ye Lu had one foot still in the hall, so she stopped there.
Two seconds later, she quickly retracted the foot she stepped out, then turned around to face the wall, as if facing the wall and thinking about it.
Standing there motionless, Ye Lu lowered his eyes slightly, making no movements or words, only breathing.
Outside the brightly lit small building, next to a patch of cannas, there was a man standing there.
The lights couldn't shine there, so he was in the shadow, but Ye Lu could feel him completely.
Unless her senses were out of whack, she would know if he showed up.
No matter where he was hiding, she knew it.
She didn't move, and neither did the people over there.
The stalemate lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the person next to Canna finally made a move.
He did not leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he walked slowly towards this side.
Although Ye Lu didn't look, he seemed to be aware of it.
He clenched and unclenched the hand at his side, wondering whether he dared to really come over.
However, Shen Tuyi really came over, and he still hesitated when he walked down the steps.
But a few seconds later, he stepped up the steps and got closer and closer to Ye Lu who was standing behind the threshold.
Ye Lu took a deep breath and felt him approaching behind her step by step.
Finally, outside the threshold, Shen Tuyi stopped.
Lowering his eyes slightly and looking at the person with his back turned, Shen Tuyi had a calm expression, but he still stared at her without blinking.
Blinking, Ye Lu paused for a moment, then suddenly turned around to face him.
Looking up at him slightly, Ye Lu slowly narrowed his eyes, "You killed someone."
Looking at her face, Shen Tuyi was speechless, but his eyes were as deep as the sea.
"You killed Ji Yizhu."
Suddenly, Ye Lu's heart moved.
He actually killed Ji Yizhu.
She just said to chop off both of his hands so that he wouldn't be able to do evil.
But he didn't expect that Shen Tuyi would be more ruthless and eradicate the roots.
"Since it's of no use, why not kill her?"

Shen Tuyi said calmly while looking at her.
His tone was still the same, without any warmth.
If you didn't know better, you would definitely think that he had a temper with everyone, and would make everyone unhappy.
"What you said makes sense.
So, are you here in the middle of the night to let me thank you?"
As sweet as honey, Ye Lu just looked up at him, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.
"No."
In response to one word, if Shen Tuyi was asked to give a reason, he would never be able to say it.
"Then why did you come here?
Look at me."
She looked at him without blinking.
She just wanted him to say what she was thinking.
"How's your leg?"
After a moment of pause, Shen Tuyi said calmly.
"As you can see, I can stand on my feet now."
However, she still feels pain after standing for a long time.
However, it was useless to tell him whether she was in pain or not.
Instead, he would worry that all this happened because of him.
"Yes."
Shen Tuyi nodded slightly, seeming relieved.
Looking at him, the two of them were speechless for a moment.
Ye Lu shrugged, "Does Lord Shentu still plan to leave?
If so, then leave right away.
If you don't leave, I will drag you upstairs and you won't even think about leaving."
She still said the same thing, if Once you've made up your mind, don't even think about leaving.
His deep eyes stared at her motionlessly, and for a moment, Shen Tuyi seemed to be about to let go.
Ye Lu's red lips moved.
For a moment, she almost didn't want to hear what he had to say, so she just dragged him upstairs.
"Forget it, it's getting late.
City Lord Shentu, please go back.
From now on, don't always hide in the dark and spy on me.
You, a dignified City Lord, act like an idiot.
How embarrassing."
With that said, she turned around and started to walk upstairs.
Just as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed.
Ye Lu looked in the direction of the stairs, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Holding her wrist, Shen Tuyi looked at her, and the next moment he said: "Have a good rest.
No matter where you are going, you still need to take good care of your legs first."
The curved red lips slowly flattened, and Ye Lu shook off his hand without even looking at him, "Thank you for your concern."
After saying that, she limped upstairs.
After watching her figure disappear, Shen Tuyi turned around and left.
Back in the room, Ye Lu couldn't help but get even more angry, angry at Tu Yi's cruelty.
Now that he saw her, he could actually make up his mind to leave again.
At that time, she thought his heart was made of stone, but now, in her opinion, his heart was made of steel.
After that night, Shen Tuyi left.

This man was like a gust of wind, coming and leaving as he pleased.
Mai Tang is worried that Ye Lu will be sad and angry, but it seems that she wants to Angry, but it seems that she is overthinking, Ye Lu is doing very well.
She guessed that Shen Tuyi would not stay here, otherwise his persistence would probably collapse.
Ye Lu believes that it is normal for him to struggle repeatedly.
The more entangled he is, the more he will miss her, and finally he will completely forget about her.
Of course, this is Ye Lu’s idea, and it will take time.
The length of this time is also unknown.
Shen Tuyi left, but Wuwang Longzhi did not leave.
He came with an order, but he also followed the tide.
He had more important things to do when he came to the Southern Kingdom.
Shen Tuyi captured the remnants of the gang, but Long Zhi never reported back to the imperial capital on the progress of the matter, but kept delaying.
Moreover, Long Zhi's attitude towards Ye Lu has obviously changed.
Even though she was Maitang's sister at that time, Long Zhi did not treat her badly.
However, things are even different now.
She is Shen Tuyi's sweetheart, and this relationship has taken another level.
The people who followed Long Zhi seemed to know it, and those who had complained about Ye Lu before shut up.
After all, Ye Lu borrowed money from Shen Tuyi, and she was a little dissatisfied.
After all, she is no longer a liar, but has real skills.
Twenty days after the New Year, news finally came that there was indeed movement in the Imperial Capital.
The old emperor secretly sent a forbidden army from the imperial capital and quietly left the imperial capital and headed north.
They acted quickly and carefully, and Long Zhi's spies were following them, but who would have thought that they would lose them.
But fortunately, Ding Wei, who returned to the imperial capital, had already informed the city lords of the northern cities in advance, so that they would take precautions in advance so that they would not be caught off guard.
But even so, Long Zhi was worried that if he lost their traces, he would not be able to grasp their movements immediately.
They really don't know what they want to do.
For three consecutive days, the news sent from the imperial capital was that the spies had not tracked them, which made Long Zhi more and more worried.
The north is very big.
If we really do a blanket search, it will take a lot of time.
Long Zhi ordered more spies to search, but he was still worried.
In the small building, the bamboo ruler was removed from Ye Lu's legs.
Her fair calves had turned purple due to the long-term binding.
Quite dissatisfied, Ye Lu studied his calves and sighed, lamenting that his delicate skin had become like this, and he didn't know how long it would take to return to normal.
Just when she was annoyed, Mai Tang came back.
Turning his head and looking at her up and down, Ye Lu slowly bent his eyes, with a playful expression on his face, "Are those people so anxious that they have their mouths filled with fire?"
"The prince is here and wants to ask for your help."
This is what Mai Tang suggested.
Instead of being anxious, it is better to let Ye Lu take care of it.
"It's okay if you want me to help, but the Five Kings must admit that it is my ability and has nothing to do with Shen Tuyi.
Don't always act like he is taking care of me on Shen Tuyi's behalf.
It's very unappetizing, don't you know?"
Dissatisfied with this, her talents instantly turned into bubbles because of Shen Tuyi.
"Chengchengcheng, if you succeed this time, who can look down on you again?"
Mai Tang was also speechless.
Whether it was her talent or not, in the eyes of outsiders, the honor was now stuck on Shen Tuyi's face.
It's useless for her to argue about this.
"Humph, let's go."

Ye Lu put down her skirt, put on her shoes, and walked out of the room slowly.
She still has a slight limp, but you can't tell if you don't look closely.
That leg can't bear too much force, and you can't stand for a long time, otherwise it will still hurt.
This fall left her unable to move for several months, which was very difficult if she thought about it.
At that time, she was happy to have Shen Tuyi with her, but now, she really felt uncomfortable.
Going downstairs, it happened that the Fifth King Ryuji and his staff had also arrived.
After looking at each one one by one, Ye Lu saw through who still looked down on her.
With a slight snort, Ye Lu walked down and stood in front of Long Zhi.
Long Zhi looked at her with his eyes slightly lowered, and then said: "I'm going to trouble Xiaolu this time."
"My lord, please don't say that.
I don't care about your face, but I also have to care about my sister's."
Ye Lu never mentioned Shen Tuyi.
The Five Kings smiled faintly and nodded.
For him, the quarrel between Ye Lu and Shen Tuyi was also very interesting.
"If the prince is asking sincerely, he must be sincere, otherwise it will not work."
Moving to the incense burner, Ye Lu turned to look at him and said.
Long Zhi glanced at Mai Tang, then nodded, "Of course."
"Okay, let's offer incense."
As she said that, she took out three sticks of incense and asked Long Zhi to offer incense.
Long Zhi held the back with one hand, walked over in a few steps, and then took the incense from Ye Lu's hand.
"These three sticks of incense are used to respect heaven and earth and worship ghosts and gods.
If the prince wants to ask something, just say it silently in your heart while offering incense."
Ye Lu stood aside and watched him speak word by word.
Long Zhi lit the incense in his hand, raised it above his head, and worshiped three times devoutly.
Ye Lu looked at him and couldn't help but curl his red lips.
These five kings were really not arrogant and were in awe of the heaven, earth, ghosts and gods.
Some people become more arrogant the less they understand.
Often such people accomplish nothing and end up miserable.
After three bows, Long Zhi put the incense in his hand into the incense burner, and then looked at Ye Lu.
Ye Lu motioned for him to step aside.
She walked to the incense burner and picked up three sticks of incense.
Lit it, bowed in four directions, and then put the incense in the incense burner.
Then, she stopped moving and stood there looking at the burning incense.
Whether it was her incense or Longji's incense, they burned at different speeds.
Slowly squinting his eyes, Ye Lu raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose, and then put his hand down after a long while.
Turning around, Ye Lu moved to the table and sat down.
More than a dozen people in the entire hall were looking at her.
"I've never been to the north.
Besides, I don't like learning.
I only know the names of a few cities in the south.
There are several cities in the north.
What are their names and the names of the city lords?
I don't know all the names and taboos.
But right now, I know there is a Pegasus City in the north.
"With beads on her red lips, Ye Lu spoke word by word, and her voice filled the entire hall.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Everyone looked at her without blinking and listened quietly.
"Tianma City."
Long Zhi walked over and looked at Ye Lu to let her continue.
"The city lord of Tianma City is very old.
He only has one daughter at his knees, so he is very weak."
At this point, it was already obvious.
Long Zhi nodded, "Yes, City Lord Yin only has one woman.
But there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals in the city, so it is not that one person is weak."
Long Zhi has been in the north for a long time, and he still knows the situation of each city very well.
"But there is a traitor."
Ye Lu looked at him.
Sometimes people will do anything for money.
Long Zhi was slightly surprised, then looked at his staff, "Send someone to the imperial capital immediately."
"Yes."
Someone immediately left to deliver the message, and everyone started talking with different voices.
They still couldn't believe what Ye Lu said.
"In your opinion, we can make it in time this time."
Sitting opposite Ye Lu, Long Zhi looked at her and asked.
Ye Lu curled her red lips, "Then you have to tell me, your highness, whether you think highly of me so much is because of my true talent or because of Shen Tuyi."
"This..."
Long Zhi didn't expect her to ask this.
He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Of course it's because Mai Tang believes in you."
After receiving this answer, Ye Lu couldn't help but smile, "My lord, you are indeed a real dragon, extremely smart."
If he said this, Ye Lu would not be angry at all.
Mai Tang glanced at Wu Wang, with a faint smile on his face.
"As long as the speed is fast enough and it does not exceed five days, then the prince's wish will definitely come true.
But if there is someone in the middle who delays it for more than half an hour, I am afraid that Tianma City will become the old emperor's first knife.
A stone."
Ye Lu hoped that they would be able to make it in time.
She couldn't make a conclusion on this matter.
After all, she didn't have the answer now.
Long Zhi closed his eyes slightly.
Five days was enough for him to travel from the south to the north, riding fast without stopping.
After all, the official road is smooth and there are many stations along the way, so changing horses is not a problem.
But as Ye Lu said, I am afraid that people will have problems.
If there is delay, it will be difficult to tell.
Mai Tang was a little worried and looked at Ye Lu, but Ye Lu couldn't give her a definite answer.
Five days was very slow for Long Zhi.
When the time came, he found Ye Lu again and asked her how she was doing.
There was no news, and Long Zhi was very anxious, so he had no choice but to come to Ye Lu first to ask.
Ye Lu is very satisfied with the current situation, which shows that her talent is not as simple as opening a fortune-telling stall on the street.
The real dragons are now coming to her to ask questions.
When adding incense, Ye Lu's every move was unhurried.
Long Zhi stood not far away and watched, with Mai Tang beside him, urging him not to be anxious.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Lu turned around and looked at Long Zhi, her eyebrows curved, "Don't worry, my lord, those killers have become dead souls."

Unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief, Long Zhi nodded, "Okay."
"Don't just say yes.
Your Majesty knows that this request is not in vain.
You have paid tribute to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and you have to repay it."
Ye Lu walked over and said leisurely.
Long Zhi was stunned, wondering what kind of reward Ye Lu was talking about.
"My lord, don't let Xiaolu scare you.
What she wants is money for incense, not much, just a few taels of silver is enough."
Mai Tang was speechless, and Ye Lu started to scare Long Zhi again.
"Sister, who are you with?
I want the lion to ask for more money.
Don't you know I just love money?"
Unhappy, Ye Lu rolled his eyelids.
"I see, Xiaolu, you really scared me.
I don't carry a lot of money with me, so I'll give these to you first.
When things here are over, you follow me back to the imperial capital.
I will definitely build a place for the ghosts and gods of this world first.
"Gong Yu."
Long Zhi really believed it now.
He knew that there was a royal Taoist temple around the old emperor, but he never took it seriously.
"You can't take back what the prince said.
All the ghosts and gods in the world are listening."
Ye Lu glanced at Mai Tang.
She didn't object to following the five kings back to the capital, so naturally she had to follow.
Not to mention for whom, even for Mai Tang, she couldn't sit idly by.
"Never break your promise."
Long Zhi nodded.
Although he had the world in his heart, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth naturally had to be in awe, and some things had to be believed.
Ye Lu curled his red lips and had to say that these five kings were real dragons.
If he didn't sit in that position, no one would be worthy.
If he is not arrogant and fears heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, he will naturally not be bad to the people because he believes in retribution.
Later in the evening, the express report arrived.
Just as Ye Lu said, the daughter of the old city lord of Tianma City acted swiftly and found the traitor quickly after receiving the news.
Even though she was a veteran in Tianma City, she was still killed by her.
She then led her troops to ambush outside the city and killed the Imperial Imperial Guard who had secretly sneaked into Tianma City.
No one was left alive.
Long Zhi was quite happy.
The time was just right.
If it had really been delayed, I'm afraid things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Ye Lu seemed to get some clues from Long Zhi's expression, but she didn't say anything.
Walking slowly in the house, Ye Lu thought about it, and the smile on his sweet and delicate face also disappeared.
Some things are indeed related to interests, so we have to pay attention to them.
Long Zhao seems to have a unique feeling for strong women.
Mai Tang is like this, and so is the daughter of the lord of Ma City that day.
As an emperor, it is impossible to have only one woman.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
And Mai Tang cannot avoid such a fate, so he can only catch up and overcome obstacles.
It is true that she and Mai Tang have nothing, but that is not the case in this southern country.
"Miss Ye."
At this moment, Zhu Beiyu's voice came from behind.
Hearing his voice, Ye Lu couldn't help but curled up his red lips and said, Turning around, Zhu Beiyu was already approaching.
He was full of righteousness.
Regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, everyone would feel good about him at first sight. leaf Ye Lu looked at him and smiled, "Master Zhu, why are you here?"
"I just saw you wandering around in the hall, what were you thinking about?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at her.
She was so petite, but she seemed to be very strong.
"Of course it is a more important matter, and this matter also requires the help of Young Master Zhu.
I wonder if Young Master Zhu is willing."
Looking at him, Ye Lu got straight to the point.
"What's the matter?"
Ye Lu asked for help, which was rare.
After all, no matter what she has to do, Shen Tuyi will do it for her.
Sighing, Ye Lu said: "That's it.
I told you that Mai Tang is a true phoenix, and the future queen must be her.
However, there are many women in the emperor, and they all have extraordinary backgrounds.
And Mai Tang and I are common people. , without any background, Mai Tang’s road ahead seems to be very difficult.
However, it would be beneficial to those of us who know her if she can take the backseat.
Therefore, in order to help her road ahead be smoother, I would like to make a request.
How about Young Master Zhu accepting Maitang as his sister?"
Zhu Beiyu obviously didn't expect Ye Lu's request to be like this.
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you ask me to recognize Mai Tang as my sister, it would be better for my grandfather to recognize her as his granddaughter."
"Will Mr.
Zhu agree?"
Ye Lu found it a bit difficult.
"Of course it will take some talking, but for the future stability of Tiezhu City, I think he will agree."
Zhu Beiyu is still confident.
"Thank you very much, Master Zhu.
I'm going to trouble you about this matter."
Ye Lu patted his arm, and it was done.
Glancing at her hand, Zhu Beiyu smiled, and then said: "Actually, in addition to my family, City Lord Yang and City Lord Shentu can also help."
Moreover, if the two of them are dragged in, Mai Tang will take the back seat.
The road will be smoother.
"That's right, I just thought about it.
City Lord Yang doesn't let go of rabbits, so if you tell him the benefits, he will come to your door automatically.
As for Shen Tuyi, I have no contact with him now."
So, forget it. .
"You and City Lord Shentu are really over."
According to Zhu Beiyu, Shentu Yi still couldn't let go.
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you interested in this, Master Zhu?
If we are really over, are you still going to marry me?"
Zhu Beiyu was slightly surprised, and then said: "A gentleman does not take away people's love."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Hearing this, Ye Lu was stunned.
She didn't expect Zhu Beiyu's answer.
Looking at him, Ye Lu paused for nearly a minute before saying quietly: "I was joking."
"How do you know I'm not joking?"
Zhu Beiyu looked down at her, but his tone didn't sound like a joke.
Blinking, Ye Lu coughed lightly, "Master Zhu, in my heart, you..."
"I just said that a gentleman will not take away others' love."
Zhu Beiyu intercepted her words and reiterated it again.
"Oh."
Looking at him, Ye Lu nodded.
She had never doubted Zhu Beiyu's character.
However, she still felt weird in her heart.
"Don't worry about Mai Tang.
As you said, we all know Mai Tang.
If she takes a back seat in the future, it will indeed be of great benefit to the Southern Kingdom.
In view of these benefits, the city lords of various cities in the Southern Kingdom, I'm afraid I won't have to ask for it, so I'll rush to recognize him at the meeting," Zhu Beiyu said calmly with his hands behind his back.
Ye Lu nodded slowly, "You are right."
Zhu Beiyu worked very quickly, and within half a month, good news came that Mr.
Zhu had agreed.
Mai Tang didn't know about this at all, and was shocked when he heard the news.
Ye Lu was very happy.
The eldest lady of Northern Tianma City was indeed extraordinary, but Mr.
Zhu from Tie Zhu Second City was more awesome than the city lord of Tianma City.
Guarding the border area of the Yellow River, one of the soldiers and horses in hand is worth ten, which is much stronger than that in the north.
With such a backing, even if the eldest lady of the city lord succeeds Tianma City, she may not be able to defeat Mai Tang.
Without further ado, Zhu Beiyu arranged carriages and horses to pick up Mai Tang and head to Zhucheng as soon as possible to hold a ceremony to recognize his relatives.
The Five Kings probably didn't expect it, but they were happy to see it.
After all, if he really wanted to marry Mai Tang, he had to arrange an identity for her.
Now, he doesn't need to spend a lot of time, and the other party is still Mr.
Zhu.
He immediately went to Zhucheng.
Because it was not suitable for the Five Kings to show up, he still stayed in Tiecheng, while Ye Lu and Mai Tang followed Zhu Beiyu to Zhucheng.
The marriage recognition ceremony was more grand than expected.
Mr.
Zhu actually invited the city lords from several surrounding cities to bear witness, which really shocked Mai Tang.
How could she be so virtuous and talented?
Not only could she recognize the famous Mr.
Zhu as her grandfather, but she could also make such a big deal out of it, which was like telling the world.
Ye Lu was very proud.
What he wanted was this effect, so that the whole southern country would know Mai Tang.
After arriving in Zhucheng, before arriving at the city lord's mansion, Zhu Beiyu received new news that all the city lords invited by Mr.
Zhu had arrived.
Including Yang Yi and Shen Tuyi.
Ye Lu had almost guessed that Shentu Yi would come.
After all, the Fourth City of Shentu and the Second City of Tiezhu were very close, so Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Zhu would probably invite him.
However, what she didn't expect was that when Yang Yi arrived at the Lord's Mansion in Zhucheng, he said that he and Mai Tang were good friends and had known each other for several years.
As for Shen Tuyi, he actually said that Mai Tang was his sister-in-law Zhu Beiyu looked at Ye Lu, obviously he didn't expect it either.
Mai Tang also looked at her.
The situation seemed a little out of control at the moment.
"Stop the car, I'm not going.
Sister, please don't say that I am your sister, please don't say that."
Ye Lu came to his senses and said in a panic.
Mai Tang and Zhu Beiyu looked at each other, and this seemed to be getting even more out of control.
