Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1574 Goodbye He Jingyun!
After hearing Qiqige's introduction, An Miaoyi, who was having a meal, was startled at first, and then asked with some doubt:
"Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? What is that?"

Qiqige shook her head and said:
"Your Majesty, I don't know either. Your Majesty must have read it from some Western book!"

"After His Majesty finished drinking last night, he took Concubine Rou's hand and began to teach her about Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, which divides people's needs into five levels throughout their lives!"

"Your Majesty said that people's most basic needs, which are also the first level of needs, are physiological needs, such as air, water, food, sleep, and..."

Seeing Qiqige hesitate to speak at the end, An Miaoyi couldn't help but ask:
"What else? Tell me?"

"My lady is the one!"

"Which one is which? Qiqige, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that An Miaoyi still didn't understand, Qi Qige couldn't help but point it out:

"It's the way of human relations!"

Hearing what Qiqige said, An Miaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then asked again:

"Did your majesty really tell Concubine Rou this?"

Qiqige nodded and said:
"That's what our people said! At that time, His Majesty held Concubine Rou's hand and said it. It is said that Concubine Rou had no choice but to listen!"

An Miaoyi was also very surprised when she heard this. After being with Ye Mingsheng for so many years, she really didn't know that Ye Mingsheng would do such a thing!

At this time, Qiqige continued:

"Your Majesty said that these five needs are the basic needs to sustain life. Without these needs, humans cannot survive and reproduce!"

"Above physiological needs is the second level of safety needs. People need to feel safe. Only in this way can they live a stable life without being frightened and worried!"

"The third level above security needs is social needs. People are used to living in groups, so most people want to establish emotional connections with others. This connection may be love, friendship, and they desire to be cared for and recognized by others!"

Although she was a little curious at first because it involved Ye Mingsheng, as Qiqige continued to talk, An Miaoyi found the theory of needs hierarchy more and more interesting. Seeing that Qiqige did not continue, she asked again:
“What are the fourth and fifth level requirements?”

Qiqige shook her head and said:
"Before your Majesty finished speaking, Concubine Rou began to tease your Majesty and asked your Majesty to look at her new underwear. So before your Majesty finished speaking, the two of them started fighting!"

When An Miaoyi heard this, some indescribable images subconsciously emerged in her mind, and she immediately started to curse:

"What a shameless bitch! All she does is seduce His Majesty all day long!"

Qiqige continued after hearing this:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou also asked Doctor Xu from the Medical College to diagnose her pulse!"

"What does this S-hoof want to do?"

"Empress Rou didn't say what happened to her. She just said that she was not feeling well recently and went to see a doctor. I think she felt that she had been sleeping with the emperor quite a few times recently, but her stomach was still flat, so she started to get suspicious..."

An Miaoyi's eyes flashed with disdain when she heard this, and then she asked again:
"What's going to go wrong?"

"Don't worry about this, my lady. I guarantee there will be no problem!"

An Miaoyi nodded slightly and said:
"How's the situation with Murong Hui?"

"Your Majesty, Murong Hui left for Liaoyang yesterday and is expected to arrive in Dongning in ten days or half a month!"

An Miaoyi nodded and instructed:

"Keep a close eye on Murong Hui. It may not be that easy for His Majesty to send him to Liaoyang as the governor!"

"Don't worry, madam! Everything has been arranged. As long as Murong Hui arrives in Liaoyang, we will know exactly what underwear he wears every day. Even if he is Monkey King, he cannot escape the palm of Tathagata Buddha's hand!"

Hearing Qiqige's analogy, An Miaoyi couldn't help laughing. Then she suddenly seemed to realize something and her hand reached out to Qiqige's chest. Faced with An Miaoyi's sudden action, Qiqige couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

After feeling it for a while, An Miaoyi said with some surprise:
"Which method is effective?"

Although she and An Miaoyi were like sisters, when faced with this question, Qiqige nodded shyly.

Seeing Qiqige nod, An Miaoyi couldn't help but say meaningfully:

"I'm afraid His Majesty likes you even more!"

Qiqige was even more shy when she heard this:
"Your Majesty, please stop making fun of me. It is my honor to serve His Majesty..."

Hearing this, An Miaoyi caressed Qiqige's face tenderly and said:

"Your Majesty's hobbies are all used on you. You have taken a lot of bullets for me over the years. It's really hard for you!"

Qiqige heard this and said very seriously:
"It is an honor for this servant to serve His Majesty, and I am also very happy to serve His Majesty and His Majesty!"

After chatting with Qiqige for a while, An Miaoyi finished her breakfast. She had nothing to do this morning. In the afternoon, the Minister of Rites Su Junjie would accompany her to inspect the progress of Furen Palace. Now that Ye Cui's birthday was getting closer, the construction schedule of Furen Palace was getting tighter and it was necessary for An Miaoyi to keep a closer eye on it!
However, the inspection of Furen Palace was in the afternoon, so the morning was relatively free, and An Miaoyi could have some private time of her own! Because there were not many ways to entertain herself, An Miaoyi originally wanted to kill time by reading novels, but as she read the novels, An Miaoyi couldn't help but think of the Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory that Qiqige had just told her!
After being with Ye Mingsheng for such a long time, An Miaoyi is no longer surprised by the new words that Ye Mingsheng says from time to time!

An Miaoyi has always been curious about where Ye Mingsheng learned all this knowledge that no one has ever told him!

Ye Mingsheng always said that he learned it from books from the West, but when An Miaoyi wanted to borrow books to study, Ye Mingsheng could never get them out!

This also made An Miaoyi more confused. She even had an idea that the books that Ye Mingsheng mentioned did not exist at all. These novel words and concepts were all created by Ye Mingsheng!

But if these contents were created by Ye Mingsheng himself, why did Ye Mingsheng evade the question by saying that he learned them from Western books?
Thinking about Ye Mingsheng's weird ideas, An Miaoyi always felt that there was a layer of mystery surrounding her husband!
An Miaoyi really wanted to solve the mysteries of Ye Mingsheng and see what Ye Mingsheng’s inner world was like, but what made her feel regretful and helpless was that although the couple had had close contact for countless times, Ye Mingsheng’s inner world was always closed to her...

April 9

Under the guidance of Zhang Hu, Ye Mingsheng, dressed in casual clothes, came to a luxurious mansion in Yijing East City. When Ye Mingsheng was observing the surroundings, Zhang Hu pointed to a magnificent mansion in front of him and introduced it to Ye Mingsheng:

"Your Majesty, the mansion in front of you is the mansion of Marquis Changning!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng also looked over, and saw that the door of the mansion was closed and deserted. Ye Mingsheng felt mixed emotions. This Changning Marquis was the residence of Wang Dechuan, the Censor of Youyan during the period of Zhao Fuqu. After Ye Mingsheng led the Fengwu Army into the pass and captured Yijing, he awarded this mansion to He Jingyun when it was time to reward people for their merits!

He Jingyun liked this house very much. Later, when Ye Mingsheng conferred the title of Marquis of Changning on He Jingyun, the house became the Marquis's residence. For this reason, He Jingyun specially hired a master to redecorate the house. It is said that he spent a lot of money. He Jingyun was impeached by the censor of the Censorate at that time!

The Marquis' Mansion was bustling with people at that time. Although Ye Mingsheng had not seen it with his own eyes, the people from the Coordination Office reported to him that countless people wanted to come and visit He Jingyun and ask this pillar of the Yijing court for help.

Who would have thought that in just a few years, the Marquis' Mansion had gone from being bustling with prosperity to being deserted and deserted. Although Ye Mingsheng himself was the instigator of all this, thinking about the fickleness of the world, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but sigh...

After expressing his feelings silently in the letter, Ye Mingsheng asked Zhang Hu to go and knock on the door holding his invitation. A quarter of an hour later, the door of the He Mansion, which had been closed, immediately opened, and He Jingyun's wife, Dong, came out to greet them in person.

Although Dong had already known about Ye Mingsheng's arrival through the post, she was still very shocked to see Ye Mingsheng in plain clothes appearing in front of her house. However, she quickly recovered and saluted Ye Mingsheng:

"Ms. He Dong pays respect to Your Majesty! I am sorry that Your Majesty has come so far to welcome me. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:

"Mrs. He, you are too kind! I am here incognito for a private visit, and I came to see General He when I passed by his mansion!"

Under the guidance of Mrs. He, Ye Mingsheng also walked into the mansion. After chatting with Mrs. He in the main hall, Ye Mingsheng went straight to the point and asked in order to save time:

"Mrs. He! How is General He doing recently?"

He Dongshi was a very smart woman. When she really saw Ye Mingsheng appear, she had already realized that the purpose of Ye Mingsheng's secret visit today must be her husband. But when Ye Mingsheng really asked her the question, she was very nervous in her heart, not knowing what Ye Mingsheng wanted to do!
But she had to answer the emperor's question no matter what...
Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, He Dongshi organized his words and preached:

"Thank you for the help of the imperial doctors sent by His Majesty. With the help of several imperial doctors, my husband's illness has not worsened and is now very stable!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said:

"Can I meet He Jingyun?"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Mrs. He was hesitant, not knowing whether she should agree to Ye Mingsheng!

After thinking for a moment, He Dong asked cautiously:

"May I ask your Majesty if there is anything I can do for you?"

Through He Dongshi's words and expression, Ye Mingsheng could also see the worry of He Jingyun's wife. Ye Mingsheng smiled and said gently:

"Mrs. He! Don't worry! General He is the pillar of our Daqian and has made great contributions to our Daqian. Since your family is now determined to return to your hometown in Guanzhong, I am willing to help you!"

"It's a long journey from Yijing to Guanzhong, and the day we meet again is far away, so I want to see General He off. I also want to make some things clear to General He, otherwise it will be a pity for both me and General He!"

Although she was surprised that Ye Mingsheng allowed her family to return to their hometown in Guanzhong, He Dongshi heard a tone that could not be refused from Ye Mingsheng's gentle words!

Although she was very worried about some unexpected situation between He Jingyun and Ye Mingsheng, He Dongshi compromised and said:

"Your Majesty! Please follow me..."

Under the guidance of Mrs. He, Ye Mingsheng and others came to a room in the backyard of the mansion. Before they approached the room, Ye Mingsheng smelled a strong herbal smell from the room. At this time, Mrs. He also asked Ye Mingsheng:
"Your Majesty, my husband has been in a very unstable mood since he became ill. Could you please let me in first so I can tell him the news of your arrival?"

"Of course! Madam He, you go!"

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty!"

With Ye Mingsheng's permission, He Dongshi was the first to walk into the room, and then whispered with He Jingyun who was lying on the bed.

Because he was standing in the yard, Ye Mingsheng couldn't hear clearly what the two people were saying. He only heard what He Jingyun said. However, He Jingyun's voice was not very clear at this time due to the stroke. Ye Mingsheng couldn't hear what He Jingyun was saying!
At this time, He Dongshi, who was talking to He Jingyun, became more and more anxious, as if she was begging He Jingyun for something, but He Jingyun was very stubborn and disagreed!

After listening for a while, Ye Mingsheng also walked from the yard to the door and looked at the bed in the room. He saw He Jingyun, who had a broken arm but was still vigorous in the past, lying on the bed. Compared with before, He Jingyun now has become very thin!
He Jingyun seemed to have sensed Ye Mingsheng's arrival at this time, and he forced himself to turn over and face the wall to avoid meeting Ye Mingsheng!
Seeing this, He Dongshi, who was already crying in anxiety, became more and more angry. She wanted to kneel down in front of Ye Mingsheng on the spot and beg for Ye Mingsheng's forgiveness.

Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and left from the door. Seeing this, He Dongshi also came out and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty..."
