every step of the way

Ganquan Palace.

"Father, my son has already found out the person." Ye Wei knelt in front of the desk.

Ye Mian looked at Ye Wei who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Who did you find out?"

"Yes—yes..." Ye Wei felt that his throat was so dry that he couldn't even speak, "Father, it's...it's Shuoer!"

"You said, it's Shuo'er?" Ye Mian asked.

"My son doesn't want to do that either." Ye Wei said with a sad face, "My son thinks, Fourth Emperor Brother didn't do it on purpose. He's still young and ignorant..."

"Wei'er, are you really sure that Shuo'er is still young?" Ye Mian looked at Ye Wei disappointedly, "Shuo'er is 15 years old this year, and he will be 16 soon. 16 years old, I belong to the Great Yan Kingdom. The founder of the country, Ye Zhen, was a great talent at the age of 12. He led a pair of bandit soldiers, and finally overthrew the previous dynasty and opened up thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in my Great Yan Kingdom. Do you think Shuoer is 16 years old, and he doesn’t even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? ?”

Ye Wei was silent for a long while, and said: "My son, I will not shield the fourth brother, I just hope that you will be lenient to the fourth brother."

"I will never take his life." Ye Mian said.

Body Pavilion.

Ye Xuan is practicing calligraphy.

"Several episodes of sighs, several lifetimes of joys and sorrows, ridiculous, I can't help my fate" was written on the hand, silently chanting.Yes, my fate is up to me, so why put my hopes on others.Only what you get by relying on your own hands is truly your own and will not be taken away by others.

Ye Xuan has practiced calligraphy for a long time, so long that it seems to be fixed at that time.Suddenly, Ye Xuan turned his pen, stained and blackened the written words with ink, so that people could no longer see what the words on the paper were.

Ye Xuan walked to her bedroom, searching for something on the bed.

Shortly after.

"You, you can hand this over to my father." Ye Xuan handed a roll wrapped in a worn-out parchment to the shadow guard.

The shadow guard said: "Sixth prince, if this happens, I'm afraid, the emperor will find out." The shadow guard around Ye Xuan was secretly cultivated by the You family, but no matter how good the ability is, it can't compare to the shadow guard next to the emperor of a country. .If Yingji went there, it would be difficult to guarantee that Ye Xuan would not be found in the future.

Ye Xuan smiled and said: "It's all come to this point, do you think my wise and powerful father can still fail to guess that I did it?" Ye Xuan paused at this point, then smiled again Said: "However, even if he knows, what can he do? Aren't his sons all relegated by him? Ye Zhuo and I are left, what else can he do?"

Yingji fell silent: the third prince had been the young minister of Dali Temple early on; the fifth prince was ignorant and incompetent, so it was really difficult for him to take on a big job.The sixth prince behaved very stupidly in front of the emperor, but this was not the case. Therefore, the sixth prince was indeed the best candidate for the crown prince.

"This subordinate knows." Yingji said, cupping his hands.

Hall of Huanyi.

By the time the news reached Huang Guifei's ears, the news about Ye Wei and Ye Wei had already spread.What Ye Mian meant was to completely abandon Ye Wei and Ye Shuo.

Huang Guifei was in a hurry, and hurried to Ganquan Palace to find the emperor.However, Ye Mian did not see her.

Fulu came out and persuaded Concubine Huang to wake up, saying, "Your Majesty, you'd better get up and go back quickly! Your Majesty, he won't see you."

Concubine Huang Gui said: "Eunuch Fu, why doesn't the Emperor see me?"

Fulu said: "Your Majesty, the emperor said, let you do it yourself!"

"Your Majesty—the concubine was wrong! Everything was done by the concubine and has nothing to do with Wei'er! I beg the emperor to learn from that—!!" Huang Zimu shouted at the gate of Ganquan Palace.

In the end, Ye Mian didn't come out, but asked someone to drag Concubine Huang back.The friendship between the two when they were young is finally wiped out, and there is nothing left.
