The night was dark and the sky was full of stars. In the abandoned king's palace, Ye Huizhi temporarily allocated a small courtyard for rest. As soon as Fengzhou City was captured, Liu Banjun immediately sent someone to inform Ji Canghai to retreat. After entering the city, the gates had already been closed again. The Nanpi army who had heard the news knew that they had missed something on the way, and retreated back to Yongzhou City. Ji Canghai and Liu Banjun were busy rectifying Fengzhou City, but Ye Huizhi did not participate One day, he violated military discipline and went to the wine cellar to steal a jar of wine, and sat on the roof drinking alone to relieve his boredom.

It was past midnight when Ji Canghai came to look for Ye Huizhi after finishing his business, the yard was pitch dark, but as if he had a telepathy, he saw Ye Huizhi on the roof at a glance, and Ye Huizhi naturally Seeing Ji Canghai, he didn't say anything, just watched Ji Canghai search for a ladder and set it up, and quickly climbed to the roof.Ji Canghai sat down beside Ye Huizhi, sniffed his nose and smelled it, then followed the smell and kissed Ye Huizhi's lips lightly, and then said, "As a general of an army, he actually stole wine."

"Didn't drink, try again." Ye Huizhi moved his face closer and pouted.

Ji Canghai doted on Ye Huizhi and kissed Ye Huizhi again, and then straightened his messy forehead hair, "What are you thinking?"

"I don't know." Ye Huizhi held Ji Canghai's hand, looked up at the stars all over the sky, "I miss my elder brother, I miss the people on the city wall, I miss my father, I miss the king, I miss the prince and Wen Jue, I miss the Ye family. , I thought too much here and there, and in the end I didn’t know what I was thinking.”

Ji Canghai held Ye Huizhi's hand instead, and said softly, "I've heard about what happened during the siege today, and it's over, so don't worry too much about it."

Ye Hui was confused, and asked Ji Canghai who was most convinced in his heart, "If it were you, how would you choose, where is my elder brother?"

"I will retreat for the time being," Ji Canghai said calmly, "I or your eldest brother will probably retreat temporarily and think about other ways, but in fact, there is no way to think about this situation, but to make myself feel that I am really doing my best. That's all, but Liu Banjun won't, and neither can Old General Ye, they are born generals, and what they see in their eyes is only the war itself, and they won't be swayed by superfluous external factors."

Ye Huizhi remained silent, and Ji Canghai sighed, "Your sister-in-law has already written a letter of apology, and is now busy in the ancestral temple in the city with funerals for the people who died in the city. She doesn't need to ask about these things in person. Doesn't she have any guilt in her heart, but the first thing a general needs to be sorry for has never been her own conscience."

"Regret, when things in Nanming settle down, let's go to the northern border to live in seclusion. Although the climate there is not good, the people are simple and warm. On winter nights, we will warm a pot of local wine and sit around the stove to listen to the snow. The territory of Nanming is not You and I must guard it, I don’t want you to meet again for what happened today, generations of the Ye family have guarded Southern Border with their lives, that’s enough.”

Thinking of the scene Ji Canghai described, Ye Huizhi's eyes finally showed a little warmth, and his heart became much calmer, and he slowly said what he hadn't said before, "You know, when I was young, I really wanted to be my... A majestic general like my father, I want to be a hero of Nanming like him, an undefeated god of war. I was very proud that I was Ye Zongshi's son, but unfortunately he never recognized me. He would always smile kindly, but he never turned a blind eye to me. I knew that people in the Ye family hated me. Except for the eldest brother, everyone else treated me as nothing. Will recognize him, this person has nothing to do with me, but actually, do you know how happy I was when he recognized me? Even I didn’t know it, so I actually cared so much about him, but we haven’t had time yet Get along well, he hasn't made up for what he owed me all these years, and I haven't done my filial piety for him, why did he leave?" Ye Huizhi lowered his head and wiped his wet cheeks, "Why is it too late? Woolen cloth."

Ji Canghai held Ye Huizhi's hand, and said in a low voice with a soothing power, "Since something happened, we have to face it, and not everything is too late. General Ye recognized you, and he will definitely feel the same in his heart." As happy as you are, Feng Qi'an sent a message saying that although Old General Ye was not very sane later, every time it was clear, people would always ask you and Banjun to be careful, which shows that he really has you in his heart. Imperial City The funeral has already been finished, Feng Qi'an and Bai Ye took care of it, Liu Longxiang and Yu Hong have also been helping, on the day of the funeral, the Holy One was sick and still went to offer condolences in person, although you couldn't rush back, but it was grand and did not wrong Ye The old general, and Mrs. Ye asked Feng Qi'an to bring you something in the letter, she said everything is settled, my son don't read it."

Maybe it's because of getting drunk and getting out of control, maybe it's because the people in Toyosu are angry and wronged, maybe it's because the strict father passed away and failed to fulfill his filial piety, maybe it's just because of Mrs. Ye's words, "My son, don't read, Ye Huizhi doesn't know what it is." For what reason, all the emotions suddenly rushed to his chest, and he couldn't help crying bitterly, the crying sound echoed under the bright stars for a long time, with uncontrollable sadness, Ji Canghai just sat quietly on his chest Accompanied by his side, he walked down his back comfortingly.

In the prince's mansion, the prince was very angry after he came down to court, and he almost wiped out everything that could be seen by him. Zhen Fuquan followed carefully all the way, and the old man who was used to being arrogant in front of others was unexpectedly Not daring to breathe, the Crown Princess heard the servant's report, and immediately rushed out to visit the Crown Prince accompanied by her servant girl, but who expected the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to meet face to face, the Crown Princess Bian Limeng didn't even have time to finish the ceremony, so she was immediately arrested The prince held his neck with one hand.The Crown Princess is a woman who has no strength to resist, her face turned red instantly due to her difficulty in breathing, Zhen Fuquan and the Crown Princess' personal maid were so frightened that they rushed forward to stop the intercession, the Crown Prince let go of the Crown Princess viciously, and moved towards a All the servants shouted, "Except for Zhen Fu, get the hell out of here. Who dares to overhear a word? I'll chop off his whole family!"

Although the prince is usually not a virtuous person, he is rarely so violent. When the servants saw that the prince was really angry, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts. When there were no other people waiting in the courtyard, the prince waved his hand and gave the princess a slap , "Bian Limeng, what do you think you are, dare to poison my father, I said that this is not allowed, but you dare to do tricks behind my back, where is the antidote, and you still haven't shown it to me!"

The princess covered her cheeks and looked directly at the prince, her tone was a little less gentle and weak than before, "How about your highness getting the antidote and preparing for it, and sending it to the imperial court without asking yourself?"

The crown prince was at a loss for words when asked by the concubine, and Zhen Fuquan took the opportunity to persuade him, "Your Highness, once this matter is exposed, I'm afraid the reserve position will not be guaranteed."

The prince stared at Zhen Fuquan coldly, "You think that I don't know who helped this poisonous woman, and that I won't hold you accountable, but you still dare to open your mouth? Do you think that poisoning my father is just a matter of losing your head?" Understand?"

Zhen Fuquan was so frightened when he heard this that he immediately fell to his knees and prostrated himself on the ground, "I know that this rebellious thing will never end well, but this old slave is willing to do this for His Highness. The empress and this old slave are all for Your Highness. In this world, I will sincerely do my best for you." The only ones His Highness is planning are the empress and this old slave!"

"Her?" The prince looked at the princess sarcastically, "She was just for her Xirong Kingdom, you poisoned the emperor behind my back, and sent soldiers from the prince's mansion to raid Wen Jue's mansion overnight under the guise of my order to supervise the country It is the real culprit behind the scenes. You know that no one in the court today is willing to go to the court to discuss politics. What they should do in private is all up to them to make up their own minds. They have actually emptied the palace. Who in the court is a fool? Today, none of those who claim to be princes/party members speak up. Wen Jue wished that his father would live a long life to protect him. Who would believe such a crime? Both civil and military are clearly slapping Bengong in the face together!"

"Your Highness, why should you be angry?" The Crown Princess was not affected by the scolding, and replied with a flat expression, "Although Wen Jue ran away, he is just a sinner now, and the Emperor will not wake up after a long coma. At that time, you will be the only one left in the royal family, and those servants will obediently invite you to become the throne."

The prince glared at the princess, "Are you a poisonous woman, what does it mean that the father will never wake up again?"

The Crown Princess seemed not to have heard the Crown Prince's questioning, and continued to analyze, "The plan for now is naturally to win over some powerful officials for your use, and to take advantage of this opportunity to drive Wen Jue to extinction. He is a variable in the end."

The prince pulled the princess close, and grabbed her chin fiercely, "What do you mean the father will never wake up again, the antidote, give me the antidote!"

The princess struggled to get rid of the prince, and finally showed a sneer. She was usually gentle and dignified, but now her eyes were as cold and vicious as a poisonous snake. Those eyes were staring at the prince so tightly that the prince was speechless for a moment. Bian Limeng walked towards the prince step by step, with sarcasm in his eyes, "Since you are longing for that position in your heart, why are you pretending to be a filial son? The benevolence of a woman will not only ruin your life, but also the child in my womb. Since you want to be so Die, I will ask someone to give you the antidote in a while, and you take your unborn son to die together!"

The prince was forced back again and again by Bian Limeng, and asked in a panic, "You said you have it? Is it a boy?"

The crown princess snorted coldly, "I have the secret medicine of the Xirong royal family, this baby must be a boy, since you don't want to live anymore, what do you care about his man and woman?" Seeing that the crown prince couldn't speak, Bian Limeng continued to scold, "How can there be a throne that is not stained with blood? , how can there be a world for nothing, the people above ten thousand are seated on the basis of conspiracy and tricks, since ancient times, the winner is the king, Your Highness, you are only one step away from that position, I really have the heart to die here Sha asked the unborn child to die with you, if you and Wen Jue switched, would he be soft-hearted towards the emperor at this time, would he be soft-hearted towards you?"

The prince hesitated for a long time while clutching his sleeves and lowering his head, finally made up his mind to speak, "You don't have to force me so much, this matter is up to you."

Seeing the prince obediently coming down, Zhen Fuquan, who was kneeling beside him, quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Bian Limeng instantly changed back to that gentle look, and asked with a soft smile, "I know that your highness has a heart that the world knows is serious, so what?" Your Highness should have remembered what the concubine said just now, what is the most important thing to do now?"

The prince suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was very scary, but she was pregnant with his eldest son, and she should stand with him sincerely to plan for the future. Thoughts, "Kill Wen Jue and win over the courtiers."

The Crown Princess smiled even wider, "Your Highness is really a big deal."

In the mansion a little bigger than a sesame mung bean, Minister of the Household Department Jing, is hiding Duan Wang Wenjue of the prince's mansion, who is called arresting but actually hunting. The black and white chess pieces are criss-crossed on the chessboard. Some impatiently asked, "Master Wang is so careful, isn't it tiring?"

Wen Jue smiled back, "If this king hadn't been careful at every step, I'm afraid he would have been the soul of the prince's sword at this time. It doesn't matter if you are tired, you can win."

Jing Chang replied, "Since the lord is so delicate, there are naturally several escape routes. Why do you have to hide in my house? At this time, the head of Wang Yuan has protected the holy palace from the water, and your mother and concubine are also pretending to be sick. The head is inside, if it were me, I would consider hiding there, after all, that is the safest enemy, even if the prince's people rush in, the holy majesty can immediately 'heal' and drive them out."

Wen Jue finally figured out where to place the money, and gathered around Jing Chang in a leisurely manner, asking while accepting the money, "You know?"

Jing Chang took a step to counter Wen Jue, "I didn't know at first, but seeing the calm look of the prince, it's hard to know. The prince hasn't answered me yet, why do you have to come to my house?"

Wen Jue smiled slightly, "Naturally, the closer you are to watching a play, the better. He wants to win over the courtiers. The most insignificant and best restraint of the six ministers is Lord Jing from the Ministry of Rites. After all, Lord Jing didn't want to be with you when you were admitted to the Prince's Mansion. It won't work if they are tied together, the crown prince will definitely choose you first, but I'm curious how you will respond."

Jing Chang fiddled with the chess pieces and asked, "How about dying to show your ambition?"

Wen Jue frowned and thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood what Jing Shang said about bringing down the prince, Duan Wang said with some appreciation, "Miss Jing is so smart, even I want to ask her to be your regular wife."

Seeing that there was no chance of a comeback, Jing Chang put the chess pieces back into the chess basket and said calmly, "I already have a beloved man in my heart, and Ye Huizhi is the same. The prince is a smart man. Instead of causing trouble to death, it is better to let go and give each other a freedom." relief."

Wen Jue looked at Jing Shang, Jing Shang looked back calmly, and met Shang Chengming's eyes. Wen Jue couldn't pretend to be a snake, so he had to change the subject, "I need to think about this matter and let's not mention it for now. remove'?"

"That depends on when the Holy Majesty is going to 'cure'," Jing Chang replied clearly, "The Holy Majesty is saying that the illness will be left to the prince, isn't it just to wait for him to cause a catastrophe, so that he is a legitimate waste, if the timing is not right, I am afraid that no one will be able to uphold justice for me when I am 'dead'."

Wen Jue acquiesced in the fact that the emperor was not poisoned, and replied following Jing Shang's words, "Father is also waiting for the opportunity, and you are the opportunity."
