Emperor industry. Anlan in the world

Shi began to wreak havoc in his body, making his body limp and weak, but the arrogant king was unwilling to show his weakness, so he broke away from Ye Youran's hand and walked back to the Seven Star Hall step by step.

Ye Youran shook her head helplessly, and followed behind him side by side with Mo Yichen.The dim light was like snow, falling softly on the stubborn figure in front of him. The figure was upright and his steps were firm, as if no obstacles could deter him.

Mo Yichen and Ye Youran looked at each other, and they both saw firmness in each other's eyes, and they would not bear the stubborn king in front of them even if they were heartbroken.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Although the courtiers scolded him every day when Ye Qingxiao announced the restructuring, they all understood the principle of accepting as soon as it was good, so after Ye Qingxiao compromised, they stopped entangled in this matter, so as not to anger this stubborn king , and fight them to the end.

Not long after, Ye Qingxiao issued an order to transfer Li Juqi to be the commander-in-chief of Changshi, and allowed him to recruit new soldiers in the eastern border.Since then, Li Juqi has officially become the subordinate of Tuolin Governor Mai Xubing. He merged the originally recruited militiamen into the recruit team, and formulated a detailed and effective training plan for them. But it worked out.

This army named Li Jiajun has become an invincible myth in Tuolin Province. Every time the Canglang tribe goes to Tuolin Province to plunder, they must suffer heavy casualties. Later, they were frightened by Li Juqi. Once again, Tuolin Province was violated, so they had to go to the neighboring Ciqing Province to plunder. For a while, Ciqing Province was full of war smoke, and the people were in dire straits.

The governor of Ciqing Province, Lu Shinian, was so angry that he wrote a letter to Li Juqi and Mai Xubing. Ye Qingxiao just comforted him a few words, but nothing happened.Later, Lu Shinian had no choice but to write a letter requesting to borrow Li Juqi to defend against the enemy, so the Li family's army leaped across the two provinces in armor and horses, the wolf clan ran around, and the eastern frontier gradually settled down.

Although the dark waves were turbulent in the court, neither side made any big moves. Ye Qingxiao and Ye Chenxi formed a feeling of forgetting each other.Now that the restructuring turmoil is over, and Dongjiang is also calm, the officials finally remembered the lifelong events of their majesty, and wrote letters asking Ye Qingxiao to be the heir apparent.

Ye Qingxiao was extremely unwilling in her heart, so she prevaricated by saying that Concubine Long had just passed away, so it was not appropriate to be a queen.Although everyone in the court knew that Concubine Long and Ye Qingxiao had a bloody feud, Ye Qingxiao was raised by Concubine Long after all, and Dongyue attached great importance to filial piety, so although the officials were dissatisfied, they were not easy to persecute.

When Ye Chenxi heard this, he couldn't help sneering, but after knowing that Ye Qingxiao would not stand for the time being, he was secretly relieved deep in his heart.

_______________________________________________________________________________

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the vassals presented lanterns, with various types and colorful colors.Ye Qingxiao ordered people to hang it in the palace, and held a banquet for all the officials in Qianlang Hall to watch it together.

During the banquet, wine was mixed, singing was melodious, the officials toasted each other, and laughter was loud, but the seat reserved for Ye Chenxi was always vacant, and whenever Ye Qingxiao glanced over that seat, the light in her eyes always dimmed.

After drinking for three rounds, Ye Qingxiao was overwhelmed with alcohol, so she went back to the Seven Star Hall to rest.As soon as Ye Qingxiao left, Ye Youran naturally didn't want to stay longer, and also returned to the house. Afterwards, the ministers left the banquet one after another, and at the middle of the night, the banquet broke up.

Today, all the ministers were vying to toast, Ye Qingxiao was full of worries in his heart, he would not refuse anyone who came, and when he returned to the Palace of Seven Stars, he was already drunk, he waved away the crowd, and sat alone in the palace, the noise in the Palace of Qianlang just now was over. In the blink of an eye, only the hall is empty and silent.

He poured himself a cup of tea slowly, took a sip, and stared blankly at the rippling cup.

After sitting for a while, he slowly got up, intending to go back to the dragon couch to rest, but knocked down the oil lamp inadvertently.Without realizing it, he staggered towards the dragon couch, fell asleep without taking off his boots.

And the oil lamp that fell on the ground ignited the carpet, and the light of the fire expanded little by little, gradually turning into a sea of ​​flames.

Because of Ye Qingxiao's big banquet for the officials, Ye Chenxi no longer held a banquet, but just sat on the back mountain of Kang Wang's mansion to drink and enjoy the moon. The Qianlang Palace was very lively, but his side was full of solitude, only accompanied by a lonely lantern and bright moon.

There was a cool breeze blowing on the mountain, the moon was shining all over the mountain, and there was a special scene. Ye Chenxi sat in the gazebo and poured himself a drink. In his mind, he couldn't help thinking of the past scenes, both sweet and bitter.

Recently, Du Bufan and some of his confidants have been urging him to usurp the throne, but he has repeatedly refused.He knew that once he reached that step, he would be immortal.That person is so arrogant, if one day becomes the deposed emperor, he will definitely not want to live.No matter how much he hated that person, he was not willing to force that person to death with his own hands.

He just sat in the gazebo and boiled wine, drinking one cup after another, as if swallowing all the vicissitudes of life in his stomach, no matter how noisy outside, he drank alone with the stars and moon.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Shiqing, who was guarding outside the gazebo, suddenly exclaimed: "Look, Your Highness!"

Ye Chenxi stopped drinking when she heard the sound, and asked hoarsely, "What's the matter?"

This is the back mountain of Prince Kang's Mansion, with a panoramic view of the central capital. Su Shiqing stood outside the gazebo, his face turned pale under the moonlight: "There is a fire in the palace!"

Ye Chenxi's expression changed suddenly when she heard the words, she put down her wine glass with a slam, and rushed out of the pavilion, only to see red flames burning in the sky not far away, reflecting the whole world as bright as day, and the red tongues of flames engulfed the entire palace. It seems as if you can feel the heat wave coming from the wind from here.

After seeing clearly the location of the fire, Ye Chenxi felt as if she had fallen into a cellar of ice, her face turned pale in an instant, and her sharp and melancholy eyes were filled with panic: "That direction is the Seven Star Palace!"

After finishing speaking, he had no time to think, and rushed down the mountain like crazy. At that moment, his heart was beating like a drum, and his heart was full of fear, as if he was about to tear his chest and jump out.His mind was full of the man's frowns and smiles, which made his chest so hot that he almost couldn't breathe.

That person's low brow and light smile...maybe I'll never see it again...

Thinking of this, he gasped for breath, quickened his pace and rushed to the stable, roughly pulled the buckle of the horse hitch, flew onto the horse, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and one person and one horse rushed out of King Kang's mansion like sharp arrows. Dust away.

Even though the hatred in his heart was difficult to subdue, he never thought that it would end in death. He would rather that person sit on the dragon chair to bear his hatred than watch that person die in a sea of ​​flames.

Along the way, the wind howled, and the air was filled with coolness, soaking into the bone marrow.Even though he suppressed it severely, he still couldn't stop the panic in his heart from spreading.He heard his heavy breathing, each time with pain tearing his chest.He seemed to be possessed by a demon, and he couldn't wake up to analyze whether he should save that person or not.

When he came to Xiqing Gate, he anxiously shouted: "Open the door!"

The guard guarding the gate saw Ye Chenxi under the moonlight with red eyes and a horrifying expression, like a Shura.The man tremblingly said: "Your Highness late at night..."

"Now there is a fire in the palace, and this king is going to save His Majesty. If you talk nonsense again, this king will kill you immediately!" Ye Chenxi sneered, and the guard immediately trembled in fright. She didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and moved quickly. city ​​gate.

Ye Chenxi groaned lightly, and regardless of the palace rule that horses are not allowed, she patted the horse's belly and rode in.

The closer he got to the Seven Stars Palace, the more anxious his heart became. When he arrived at the Seven Stars Palace, his heart almost stopped beating in fright when he saw the sea of ​​flames.

At this time, people outside the hall were already on their backs, and the maids and guards kept pouring water into the hall with buckets, but it was useless.The heat wave hits the face, forcing people to barely open their eyes.

Ye Chenxi got off the horse, pulled a guard anxiously and asked, "Where's Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty...in the palace..." The guard was startled by Ye Chenxi's expression, and replied tremblingly.

After hearing this, Ye Chenxi's mind went blank, but he quickly came to his senses and asked sharply, "Since His Majesty is in the palace, why don't you go to rescue him?"

The guard was so frightened that he was shaking like fallen leaves, he could barely speak: "The hall is full of fireworks... The fire spread so quickly that no one who entered could come out..."

Ye Chenxi pushed the guard away, grabbed the bucket and poured water on himself until his whole body was soaked, then took out a sweat towel from his sleeve pocket to get wet, then threw the bucket down, covered his mouth and nose with the sweat towel, He picked a window with a small fire, broke through the window without hesitation, and rushed into the flames in an instant.

☆, (25) only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals

"Your Highness——"|

"Your Highness, it's dangerous!"

There was a scream behind him, but he turned a deaf ear to it. He only knew that the life and death of that person was uncertain inside. He dared not entrust that person's life to anyone, and he wanted to hold that person's life firmly in his hands.

The hall was already in flames, thick smoke was billowing, and many temple beams collapsed, and several corpses dressed in guards' costumes lay on the ground, some were crushed by the temple beams, blood spattered everywhere, and some were burnt. It's hard to tell.Ye Chenxi broke out in a cold sweat after just one glance, and scanned the entire hall anxiously, calling Ye Qingxiao's name in panic in the sea of ​​flames: "Qing Xiao! Qing Xiao..."

He looked at the corpses on the ground while calling out like a man in a daze, even if he was scalded by the fire, he didn't care. After searching for a while, he finally found the figure he was thinking about in a certain corner.

Ye Qingxiao lay motionless on the ground, with blood on his forehead, and a dragon guard lay beside him, and that dragon guard's body was pressed by a temple beam, it was unknown whether it was dead or alive.

"Qingxiao!" Ye Chenxi was on fire immediately, and rushed to Ye Qingxiao's side, tremblingly stretched out his fingers to check Ye Qingxiao's breath, until the warm breath brushed over his fingers, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief , Only then did I realize that I forgot to breathe just now.

Perhaps sensing Ye Chenxi's presence, Ye Qingxiao, who was originally in a coma, slowly woke up, glanced at the hall, and then turned his eyes to Ye Chenxi in front of him. He coughed a few times, and said anxiously: "Chenxi... ...There is a fire in the hall...you go away..."

"Don't worry, I'll take you out." Ye Chenxi's gaze was firm, and her tone was as gentle as water, as if the grievances between them had never existed.

After Ye Qingxiao coughed a few more times, she shook her head and said: "I can't move anymore...you can go quickly...this time...don't bother me..."

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the cave in Tianshan Mountain. Ye Chenxi was still the same Ye Chenxi back then, but he was unwilling to trade Ye Chenxi's life for his own.If one of them had to die here, he hoped it was himself.

He didn't want to bear the pain of watching his beloved die in front of his eyes.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine, I'll take you out right away." Ye Chenxi took off her wet robe, put it on top of Ye Qingxiao's head, and tore off half a sweat towel for him to cover her mouth and nose. It was only then that Ye Qingxiao was picked up.

Ye Qingxiao leaned on Ye Chenxi's back, looking at Ye Chenxi's handsome side face that was reddened by the flames, her expression was the same as before, as firm as steel.

At that moment, Ye Qingxiao felt that even if she was buried in a sea of ​​flames, it was worth it...

The hall was full of flames and thick smoke billowing, as if even the skin was about to be melted by the heat wave, and occasionally there was the sound of objects collapsing, which was soul-stirring.

Ye Chenxi looked around and decided to escape from the original time. He covered his mouth and nose with a sweat towel and took a deep breath, then rushed towards the window in one go, avoiding collapsing objects and flying enemies along the way. Although the whole process didn't take much time, Ye Chenxi seemed to have experienced it for thousands of years.

When he arrived at the window, there were already people guarding there, Ye Chenxi pushed Ye Qingxiao's body out of the window, someone picked it up immediately, Ye Chenxi also quickly climbed out of the window.

Ye Chenxi inhaled the thick smoke just now, and now he even feels burning pain to breathe, and there are many burns and abrasions on his body, but he didn't care about himself, he walked quickly to the unconscious Ye Qingxiao, hugged the horse's back, and flew away Getting on the horse, he ordered the people around him with red eyes: "Hurry up and declare the imperial doctor to Qingping Palace!"

After finishing speaking, he kicked the horse's belly with both feet, and galloped towards Qingping Hall like an arrow.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The people in Qingping Hall were panicked, and all the imperial doctors surrounded Ye Qingxiao's couch to check his pulse one by one, and then discussed the prescription.Ye Youran and Mo Yichen who came later stood in front of the screen waiting for the diagnosis results, their eyes filled with anxiety.While Luo Si and Meng Guanwei sat in front of the case, Meng Guanwei was as dignified and quiet as before, while Luo Si, who had always been cynical, restrained a lot, and he no longer saw the frivolity of the past, and his face was full of worry.

There were many ministers waiting for the news outside the hall, some of them paced back and forth, some of them whispered to each other, and there was a burst of whispering.

Ye Chenxi stood in front of the window, although there were many abrasions and burns on her body, she refused to let the imperial doctor bandage the wound.He seemed indifferent, but his whole body was tense like a string ready to go, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the movement of the edge of the couch.

Ye Youran paced a few steps irritably, and inadvertently glanced at Ye Chenxi who was standing in front of the window in a mess, with complicated emotions in his eyes, but in the end it only turned into a sigh.

After discussing with the imperial doctors, they reported to Ye Youran: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is fine, but he fell into a coma because of drunkenness and inhalation of heavy smoke. I will prescribe some medicine for His Majesty to recuperate his body." , it will be fine soon."

After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.Ye Youran waved his hand and urged: "Go!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Youran turned his eyes to the panic-stricken window, and said to Meng Guanwei and Luo Si: "Your Majesty is fine, let the people outside go away!"

Meng Guanwei and Luo Si respectfully responded, and exited the hall to announce the news to the ministers.

Standing in front of the window, Ye Chenxi's tense body gradually relaxed, and only then did he feel burning pains in many places on his body. He didn't even say hello, and walked out of the hall pretending not to care.

"Chen Xi..." Seeing this, Ye Youran couldn't help calling him.

Ye Chenxi stopped in her tracks, turned around, Junyi's face was indifferent: "What's the matter?"

Ye Youran's clear voice resounded in the hall, like streams contending: "Thank you for saving him."

Ye Chenxi snorted coldly, and said firmly: "I saved him only for Dongyue."

After all, he stopped staying and walked away.

Ye Chenxi went out of the palace gate, and immediately ordered people to gather all the dragon guards who were on duty last night.There were 13 people on duty last night, but five of those on duty were killed in the fire, leaving eight people.

Ye Chenxi scanned them one by one with sharp eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you still remember what this king told you back then?"

All the dragon guards lowered their heads when they heard the words, and did not say a word.

Ye Chenxi said angrily: "Speak!"

All the dragon guards replied loudly: "Remember!"

Ye Chenxi would be furious whenever he thought that Ye Qingxiao was almost buried in the sea of ​​flames, and now he was still afraid for a while, he couldn't imagine what would happen if he didn't have time to rush into the sea of ​​flames.

His voice was as cold as ice and snow, and he said ruthlessly: "You almost let His Majesty be buried in a sea of ​​flames. Ten thousand deaths are unforgivable crimes. Today, for the sake of the dead comrades, I will spare your lives for the time being, but this king does not want to do it again." There is a next time."

All the dragon guards breathed a sigh of relief, and replied loudly: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Ye Chenxi said again: "Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. You each go to receive the seventy army sticks."

After finishing speaking, Ye Chenxi waved his hand irritably to let them go away.

It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that Ye Chenxi covered his face with his hands, as if to hide the fear and agitation on his face, until he gradually calmed down, he put down his hands and walked away.But from that lonely figure, the sadness permeated in the night can still be seen.

After Ye Chenxi's figure disappeared at the door, Mo Yichen looked away. He didn't know whether to speak to Ye Youran or to himself: "He will never forget his feelings..."

They rushed to the palace from the moment they found out that the palace was on fire, and have been tossing so far. They are already thirsty and tired.Ye Youran pulled Mo Yichen to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said in a sad tone, "Although he hasn't forgotten his feelings, he still refuses to let go of his past."

Mo Yichen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. Although he and Xue Lingyun were confidants again, they could only remain confidants and would never go any further...

Although Ye Youran understood what Mo Yichen was thinking, he was powerless and could only pretend not to see it.The hall fell into an embarrassing silence for a moment.

After a while, Ye Qingxiao woke up leisurely. He looked around the entire hall, but couldn't find the person in his heart, and his eyes dimmed instantly.Of course he understood Ye Chenxi, although Ye Chenxi saved him when he was in danger, but it was a matter of love and he couldn't bear to think about it.Now that he was out of danger, Ye Chenxi calmed down and did not allow herself to continue to be obsessed with him.

Although he still remembered Ye Chenxi's firm and gentle gaze in the sea of ​​flames, now he could only face the heartache and despair when he woke up from the dream.

Ye Youran noticed the movement on the bed, rushed to the front of the bed immediately, and asked with concern: "Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?"

Mo Yichen poured a cup of tea, brought it to Ye Qingxiao's lips, and said softly: "Your Majesty has inhaled the smoke, and his throat may be uncomfortable. Let's drink some tea first!"

Ye Qingxiao only felt a burst of thirst in her throat, and even a little burning pain, so she slowly drank the tea in the cup with Mo Yichen's hand. After a cup of tea, Ye Qingxiao's pale face was smothered by the heat. A little blood.

Ye Youran noticed that Ye Qingxiao's eyes were dim, she understood in her heart, and immediately explained: "It was Chen Xi who saved you, he was injured a little, so he returned home first."

Ye Qingxiao lowered her eyes slowly, covering the sadness in her eyes, and said: "I still vaguely remember the situation at that time, and I owe him another life debt."

Mo Yichen put down the porcelain cup in his hand, and comforted him, "His Royal Highness King Kang is always soft-hearted towards His Majesty."

Ye Qingxiao was unmoved when she heard the words, instead she laughed at herself: "When I do something to my uncle, I'm afraid he will regret today's momentary soft-heartedness."

Mo Yichen and Ye Youran were at a loss for words. With Ye Chenxi's temperament, when that day came, they really didn't know how the world would be turned upside down.

At this time, the imperial doctor brought in the decocted medicine, Ye Qingxiao drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep again.Ye Youran tucked the brocade quilt for Ye Qingxiao, and then left the palace with Mo Yichen.

It was the time of sunrise, and Mo Yichen and Ye Youran walked towards Zhenghua Gate side by side.The rays of light shine on the golden glazed tiles, so resplendent and resplendent that it is almost impossible to open one's eyes.

The palace has long since ceased to be noisy at night, only the sound of hurried footsteps can be heard occasionally.Ye Youran secretly looked at Mo Yichen beside him, enjoying the rare peace.

"After a night of trouble, you should be tired, right? I will send you home later." Ye Youran's peach blossom eyes sparkled, and her tone of voice was a little gentle, sweeping away the indifference of the past.

Ye Youran saw the warmth and coldness of human beings when he was young, and he had a cold temperament, so he would not be easily emotional, but if he recognized someone, he would treat that person wholeheartedly.When he saw Mo Yichen at the beginning of that year, he sank deep in the mud, looking forward to only one person in the indifferent world of mortals, with no regrets.

Mo Yichen is a smart person, and he already understood Ye Youran's affection in his heart, but he couldn't respond with affection. At the beginning, he was always a little embarrassed, but as the time passed, the embarrassment has disappeared, and now he is sincere. Ye Youran as a friend.

He smiled back and said, "Then thank you, Your Highness."

After hearing this, Ye Youran was elated, and chatted with Mo Yichen about some interesting things about court affairs.

After leaving the Zhenghua Gate, the carriage of Hengwang Mansion was already waiting outside the hall. Ye Youran was about to get on the carriage, but saw a tall and slender figure standing not far away. The man raised his head when he heard the footsteps, with a handsome face Illuminated by the rays of the sun, it was Xue Lingyun.

From the moment Xue Lingyun's face came into view, Ye Youran knew that Mo Yichen would not take his carriage back home.Sure enough, Mo Yichen's eyes lit up, and he bowed his hands to say goodbye to Ye Youran: "Sorry, Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany Your Highness, please leave."

Ye Youran waved his hand, signaling to Mo Yichen to do whatever he wanted, watching Mo Yichen's back gradually receding, there was no pain in Ye Youran's heart, only a slight sense of loss.

Xue Lingyun raised his eyebrows and watched Ye Youran's carriage go away, suppressed the jealousy in his heart, inspected Mo Yichen carefully, and asked anxiously: "I saw the palace was on fire, are you okay?"

Mo Yichen found that Xue Lingyun's hair and clothes were stained with dew, and he didn't know how long he had waited. Suddenly, his heart felt warm and warm, and he smiled lightly and said, "It's not that my national teacher's mansion is on fire. , what will happen to me?"

Xue Lingyun was sure that Mo Yichen was unharmed, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm afraid that you might hurt yourself by rushing into the flames to save His Majesty."

Mo Yichen laughed lowly: "Which round will you get me? His Royal Highness Kang Wang rushed in to save people."

Xue Lingyun was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked, "Then Your Majesty and His Highness Kang Wang have reconciled?"

Mo Yichen suppressed his smile, shook his head, and there was a bit of sadness in his brows.

Xue Lingyun also knew that the knot between them was not so easy to untie, and there was no room for him to intervene in these matters, so he had to change the subject: "My Yaoqin is ready, why don't you help me audition it!"

After hearing this, Mo Yichen lifted his spirits, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Okay, I'm going to audition now."

After speaking, they walked towards Xue Lingyun's residence. Chaoyang dragged two long shadows behind them. The soldiers guarding the tower looked at these two lingering figures and suddenly remembered "I only envy you." Mandarin ducks do not envy immortals."

The author has something to say:

Don't forget to watch the prequel~~~

☆、（26）Let the blood knock on the heart

March of the fifth year of Hongxi in Dongyue

Ke Shaoheng, who had been away from Beijing for a year, finally returned to Beijing to face the saint. The next day, Ke Shaoheng issued a letter of impeachment, impeaching his uncle Du Bufan for ten crimes, including Du Bufan selling private salt and embezzling most of the silver when building dams in Fancheng. Every year when the dyke burst, countless people were buried in fish belly, and a large number of lands were enclosed in Mingyang. Because the people refused to move away, they deliberately ordered people to blow up the dyke, flooding countless fertile fields, making Li and Shu confused, raising dead people privately, etc.

Each of these ten crimes is a death penalty, and each of them is well-founded.Ke Shaoheng publicly impeached Du Bufan in the morning. His loud voice and solemn demeanor showed his determination to never end with Du Bufan. Hearing the crimes, Du Bufan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt tremblingly and repeatedly call wronged.

There was an uproar in the court, some gloated, some were sweating profusely, and some remained calm. Ke Shaoheng added a sentence at the end of the reading: Ruchen has half a false statement, and he is willing to accept the axe.

Du Bufan always thought that Ke Shaoheng was just a scholar with no literary talents, but unexpectedly, he misunderstood him. He stared at Ke Shaoheng angrily, and scolded: "Ke Shaoheng, I have no complaints or worries with you, why do you slander me so much!"

Ke Shaoheng gave Du Bufan a cold look, and his voice was like ice: "Master Du is covering the Lord and harming the people, framing Zhongliang, and the heart of disobedience is well known in the court. Even a hundred deaths are not enough to defame him."

"You..." Du Bufan was furious, but he couldn't find any rebuttal, so he could only cry out his injustice with tears streaming down his face.

Ye Qingxiao was furious, and said loudly: "Come here, take Du Bufan to the imperial prison to await trial."

As soon as Du Bufan heard the word "imperial order", he immediately rolled his eyes and passed out.

In Dongyue, the Imperial Prison is directly controlled by the emperor. It can also be said that only those who are considered guilty by the Emperor will enter the Imperial Prison. Although there will be interrogation after entering the Imperial Prison, since the emperor has already determined that the guilty person, the interrogation is just a formality. .

As soon as the courtiers heard it, they knew that Ye Qingxiao was cruel to punish Du Bufan. Although some courtiers wanted to intercede for Du Bufan, one of Ke Shaoheng's crimes in impeaching Du Bufan was forming a party for personal gain. Bufan begged for mercy, wouldn't he tell everyone that he was Du Bufan's henchman?

Therefore, no one dared to take that step at the moment, and everyone knew that there were only three people who could intercede for Du Bufan: Mo Yichen, Ye Youran and Ye Chenxi, and Mo Yichen and Ye Youran were hopeless. So I can only place my hope on Ye Chenxi.

Until the court retreat, all the officials still had a slight sense of confusion, and they gathered their party members to discuss matters after they left the palace gate. Only Luo Si rushed to Qingping Palace to ask Ye Qingxiao to see him.

Ye Qingxiao moved to Qingping Hall after the Seven Star Hall caught fire. At this time, he walked into the hall and was about to review the memorial, when he heard that Luo Si asked to see him, he hurriedly invited Luo Si in.

Luo Si strode into the hall, his eyebrows were as free and easy as before, he saluted respectfully, and then sat across the table with Ye Qingxiao under Ye Qingxiao's instructions.

At this moment, the court ladies had served several pots of wine and several plates of appetizers. After the maids left, Ye Qingxiao looked at the companion reader who had been with him for many years, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you have something to ask me?" ?”

For many years, Luo Si was one of the few people who accompanied Ye Qingxiao's growth. He has always supported Ye Qingxiao without hesitation. will act.

Ye Qingxiao has always regarded Luo Si as a friend, that's why she made concessions to Ye Chenxi at that time.And these things, he didn't want Ross to know.

Luo Si seemed to have forgotten the rule that a holy face should not be admired, looked at Ye Qingxiao with a pair of cynical eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm greedy, I want to have a drink with Your Majesty."

"You have many confidante friends, why don't you drink with them?" Although Ye Qingxiao said so, she poured two glasses of wine and pushed one of them in front of Luo Si.

Luo Si chuckled when he heard the words: "I just want to drink with Your Majesty today."

"Could it be because I did a big thing today?" Ye Qingxiao smiled, picked up a glass of wine gracefully, and clinked glasses with Luo Si.

The crisp sound of clinking glasses sounded in the hall, and the aroma of the wine lifted people's spirits. Ross said: "Yes, I wish your Majesty all wishes come true."

"If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't want to go this far, but since I'm gone, I can't turn back." Ye Qingxiao sighed softly, and lowered her voice: "Uncle treated me very well before my mother passed away. Fame and fortune……"

Luo Si suppressed the cynicism in his eyes, looked at Ye Qingxiao seriously, and said: "Your Majesty is very clever, and one day he will achieve an unworldly deed, and his name will be immortalized. But to achieve an unworldly deed, the road ahead must be It is covered with thorns. Now that we have come to this point, there is no turning back, so I implore Your Majesty, no matter what obstacles lie ahead, don't compromise."

After Ye Qingxiao heard this, she was immediately moved. At this moment, it seemed as if she had returned to the day when the young Luo Si knelt in front of him and made a lifetime promise: "I am willing to guard the country for Your Highness!"

Since then, Ross has been proving his oath with actions. No matter how the years change, this person still stands behind him silently.

Ye Qingxiao's white jade-like face showed a smile, and said: "I promise you, no matter what the road ahead, I will never back down."

The smile on Rose's face was even stronger, as bright as if he was going to burn his life: "I respect your Majesty."

Ye Qingxiao clinked glasses with him, and said softly: "Do you remember that year when you said that you would defend the country for me?"

Luo Si raised his head and drank the fine wine in the glass, and replied: "Of course I remember, my lifelong wish is to help Your Majesty achieve an immortal career."

Ye Qingxiao poured another glass of wine for him, and said: "There will be opportunities in the future."

Ross just laughed lightly when he heard the words, the light in those eyes was as bright as the morning glow.

The two chatted about childhood memories and the military situation in East Vietnam, and it was not until they were half drunk that Ross saluted and retreated.Before leaving, Luo Si looked back at Ye Qingxiao, with deep meaning in his eyes, but the half-drunk Ye Qingxiao pressed his fingertips on his forehead, not paying attention to Luo Si's expression.

After Luo Si withdrew, Ye Qingxiao ordered someone to bring hangover soup, drank half a bowl, and then leaned on the recliner to fall asleep.

After a while, a guard told Ye Chenxi to see him.

Ye Qingxiao had a premonition that he would come, so she slowly opened her eyes, ordered someone to tell Ye Chenxi, then straightened her clothes, stood up, the original haze was gone, his expression was dignified and depressed, with a With awe-inspiring power, he fixed his eyes on Ye Chenxi who stepped across the threshold, and asked loudly, "What's the matter with King Kang?"

Ye Chenxi rushed over as soon as he heard the news that Uncle Guo had been arrested and imprisoned. His face was full of anger and anger, and as soon as he rushed into the hall, he shouted violently: "Ye Qingxiao, what do you mean?"

Seeing this, Ye Qingxiao was neither surprised nor angry, but gave Ye Chenxi a faint look: "Kang Kang is referring to uncle?"

"Ask knowingly!" Ye Chenxi snorted coldly.

Ye Qingxiao took a few steps forward, and every step he took was dignified and elegant, with an inherent nobility, he asked indifferently: "Kang Wang thinks that I have wronged uncle? What if King Kang thinks that Ke Shaoheng has something wrong?" One is slandering my uncle, you can find evidence to show it, and I will deal with it according to law."

"You..." Ye Chenxi naturally knew that Ke Shaoheng's crimes were true, but he couldn't just watch Ye Qingxiao execute his uncle, so he said in a cold voice: "I said don't touch him."

Ye Qingxiao glanced at him, and then said: "I never promised you. You know in your heart how many outrageous things Uncle Guo has done over the years. If he quits early, I will let him go because of my old love." One horse, but he is obsessed with obsession, and he has done all the things that are corrupt and perverted, which is really intolerable."

"Then you wanted to kill me for the throne in Tianshan, but if you couldn't kill me, you killed my mother. Could it be tolerated by heaven?" Ye Chenxi's words pierced Ye Qingxiao's heart like thorns, making people extremely painful.

His thin lips are slightly pursed, and his eyes are like a wall built together, which makes people unable to see his thoughts clearly: "It's useless to talk too much. Uncle Guo has done all the bad things, and the crime should be punished. I will not change my mind."

Ye Chenxi raised her eyebrows when she heard the words: "Oh? So, you decided to give up Ross's life?"

Ye Qingxiao's whole body was shocked, and she looked back at Ye Chenxi in disbelief: "I have already exchanged Luo Si's life for Du Jianhua's life, how can you threaten me with this matter again?"

Ye Chenxi squinted at Ye Qingxiao, and said coldly: "You let Jianhua go, but you immediately pointed the finger at Uncle, obviously to deal with me, how can I let you do what you want?"

After Ye Qingxiao heard this, her face gradually turned pale, her thin lips trembled uncontrollably, and she was still unable to utter a word for a long time.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, the guard's unsteady voice suddenly sounded outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Mr. Luosi committed suicide by bumping into the pillar at the Qingtian Gate."

"What?" Ye Qingxiao's body swayed, almost falling down, but fortunately Ye Chenxi had sharp eyesight and quickly supported him.

The blood on Ye Qingxiao's face faded, and his body was shaking like a sieve. He took several deep breaths to stabilize his figure, and suddenly pushed Ye Chenxi away, and rushed out of the hall.

Ye Chenxi followed closely behind, and Ye Qingxiao, who was like an arrow, ran towards the Qingtian Gate against the wind. He fell down twice during the process, but he immediately got up and ran towards the Qingtian Gate without delay.

Ye Chenxi has been watching the running back in front of him. He can feel the emotion like a stormy sea. Ye Qingxiao and Luo Si grew up together, so the relationship is naturally different from that of ordinary monarchs and ministers. He can imagine how Ye Qingxiao will be at this moment. Heartache, but he was the one who caused all this.

At this time, Ye Chenxi was also heartbroken. He never expected that the fight with Ye Qingxiao would lead to such a situation. Once Rose died, they would have to die together.

Just when he was thinking wildly, the Qingtian Gate was close in front of him, and he saw Rose lying under the Qingtian Gate with blood running from his forehead, and several guards stood by, but they couldn't do anything.

Ye Qingxiao rushed over, stretched out her hand to touch Luo Si's breath while panting, and finally put it down in a slump, closing her eyes and saying nothing.After a while, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks, dripped on Rose's forehead, and merged into the blood.

Ye Chenxi stopped a few feet away, quietly watching this heart-shattering scene, her heart ached like twisting.He knew that if he hadn't repeatedly used the past to force him, Ross would not have come to a dead end. Although he didn't regret taking this move, he still felt uncomfortable.

After a long time, Ye Qingxiao slowly opened her eyes, tears were faintly dripping in her eyes, the tears on that handsome face were still wet, thick
