Emperor industry. Anlan in the world
Chapter 1, I think it can be tolerated, I hope to continue to support in the future, bow~~
In the cave, Brother Huang arranged all this? "
Mo Yichen's whole body was shaken, and he slowly raised his head to look at Ye Chenxi, and then he seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled sadly: "Even His Highness himself refused to believe it, no wonder he didn't believe it back then..."
What Mo Yichen wanted to say was exactly the same as Ye Qingxiao.Ye Chenxi's heart tightened, but she still said in a cold voice: "At that time, all the guards of the emperor's brother were present, and the king was injured for no reason, and then fell into the collapsed cave, but the emperor was able to escape safely. How to explain it?"
In a trance, Mo Yichen felt that this scene was extremely familiar, as if he had returned to the heart-wrenching dispute two years ago.
"Whether you believe it or not, I still say the same thing. The death of His Highness King Kang was not caused by His Highness King Qin."
"I also said I don't believe it."
He and Xue Lingyun have known each other for more than ten years, almost for a lifetime, but in the end, they only got him a word of disbelief after knowing each other for many years.
Those persistent words still broke his heart to ashes. The person standing in front of him should be the one who knows the truth best, but he asked him the truth instead, which is really sad and ridiculous.
"Even if the minister answers, His Highness won't believe it. Why do you need to ask again?" Mo Yichen looked directly at Ye Chenxi, his eyes were like flowing springs: "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"
Seeing Mo Yichen's appearance that he obviously didn't want to talk anymore, Ye Chenxi said immediately: "I have something to ask."
Mo Yichen raised his eyebrows, and stood there looking at Ye Chenxi. With his smooth skin against the white shirt, he didn't look like a mortal.
Ye Chenxi pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "This king once forced the emperor to write an abdication edict, but the emperor would rather die than surrender. He said that if something happened to him, his throne could only be inherited by Ye Youran. This king doesn't understand, this king In what way is it inferior to Ye Youran? Could it be because this king competed with the emperor for the throne back then, and the emperor has always held grudges?"
After all, Ye Chenxi seemed to hear a low sigh, but when he cast his eyes on Mo Yichen, Mo Yichen was the same, those eyes seemed to be pure ice jade, making people dare not stare at them.
"Your Majesty's thoughts, do you really not understand His Majesty?"
"I heard that the national teacher and the emperor's brother are connected, please explain the confusion." Ye Chenxi's tone was a little less angry and more sincere.
Mo Yichen looked at Ye Chenxi with extremely complicated eyes, as if with some appreciation, but also mixed with a trace of helplessness: "Your Highness is brilliant and armed with armor. If he rises to the top, even if his martial arts is not as good as His Majesty, I will The prosperity of the martial arts in the dynasty may not be as good as in the previous dynasty. However..."
Ye Chenxi frowned and asked, "But what?"
"There is Concubine Long on Your Highness, and there is an uncle next to him. This is not a blessing for the country. Concubine Long is cruel and merciless, and there is no room for a grain of sand in her eyes. After His Highness ascends to the throne, His Highness Heng Wang and His Majesty's close officials will definitely not survive. As for Uncle Guo, this person helped His Highness to the throne, and he is His Highness's uncle, even if he becomes domineering in the future, His Highness will not bear to convict him, and if things go on like this, there will be great chaos."
Ye Chenxi was stunned, but couldn't help but retort: "With this king here, my uncle will not come here..."
"Yes, if His Highness is here, the uncle may not be here yet, but what about His Highness a hundred years later? When His Highness's descendants succeed to the throne, Qi Wan will be fierce, how will the new king clean up the mess? I'm afraid the disaster of Xiao Qiang is not far away."
Mo Yichen spoke calmly, but no one could refute a word.He knew exactly what kind of people his mother and uncle were.Although he lost his memory, how did Lan Concubine die back then, and the truth about Ye Youran's mother's court scandal could not escape his mind.
From all kinds of clues, it can be seen that even without the landslide two years ago, the father would still hand over the throne to Ye Qingxiao in the end.Maybe the emperor also considered this point?Although the father loves his mother very much, he will still make the most sensible choice when it comes to the country and the country.
Seeing that Ye Chenxi was lost in thought, Mo Yichen continued, "In His Majesty's eyes, Dongyue is the most important thing. Even he himself is ranked behind Dongyue. If Your Highness doesn't understand him, I can't do anything about it."
After finishing speaking, Mo Yichen flicked his sleeves and left without staying.When Mo Yichen stepped out of the threshold, he just glanced at Su Moyun who was standing outside the door, and both sides quickly looked away.Mo Yichen's white clothes fluttered like duckweed, reflecting each other with the white snow on the ground, flowing like a fairy, and soon disappeared.
Ye Chenxi followed Mo Yichen out of the front hall, and was silent with Su Moyun who was standing aside.Since the unpleasant day, they have tried to avoid being alone with each other, and they have still not let go of their past.Now that the two face each other, both sides are a little embarrassed.
After a long time, Ye Chenxi asked in a low voice: "Did you hear that?"
Su Moyun nodded, looking directly at Ye Chenxi with eyes as bright as stars: "What is your Highness planning?"
Ye Chenxi's heart was boiling, and he knew what choice he should make intellectually, but he still couldn't bear it. Ye Qingxiao's lonely eyes repeatedly appeared in his mind, stirring his heart and making him Can't escape.
Su Moyun had a clear mind, so he naturally knew that Ye Chenxi was struggling in his heart. He let out a low sigh and said, "I was indeed with His Highness Qi that day. I have been with the Highness for two years, and I know that His Highness has lofty aspirations. Things are moving in the ideal direction step by step, but His Highness is becoming more and more hesitant, how can I not be worried?"
Ye Chenxi remained silent, fisted with five fingers, her handsome face was as pale as snow.
Su Moyun knew that he was suffering, but still said word by word: "The battle for the throne is different from other things. Either you die or I die. Your highness has repeatedly offended the holy face. If your highness is soft-hearted and saved your majesty today, he will come back to you in the future." Will the capital let His Highness go?"
Ye Chenxi's whole body trembled, her fingertips sank into her palms, her eyes wandered on the snow, never looking at Su Moyun.
Su Moyun continued to persuade: "When the time comes, not only His Highness will die, but also Concubine Long and Uncle Guo will not be spared. Your Highness should know which is more important."
After listening, Ye Chenxi finally slowly raised his head to look at Su Moyun, with an unconcealable heaviness in his eyes: "Mo Yun, I understand everything you said, but I just..."
Su Moyun sighed softly: "The overlord is ruthless. If His Highness wants to gain authority over the overlord, he must give up certain things. This is all I have said, Your Highness should think about it carefully!"
After finishing speaking, Su Moyun bowed respectfully to Ye Chenxi, and walked away.Ye Chenxi stared blankly at Su Moyun's back until the light green shirt disappeared into the snow. The cold wind sent a chill down the spine.
Although the world is big, where can people feel at ease?
12、If life is just like first sight
When the lights come on, the crescent moon is like a knife, and the exquisite brilliance falls softly, flowing in from the window, adding a bit of softness to the cold and lonely room.
The room was brightly lit, Ye Chenxi was leaning on the desk, the soft halo illuminated his slightly tired face, loneliness and struggle were deeply written on his face.
After Mo Yichen left, he sent spies out to inquire, and the news he got was exactly the same as what Mo Yichen said, that person had indeed fallen into Chu Aohan's hands.
For a while, I was in a mess.It's not that he doesn't understand Su Moyun's meaning, in fact he knows exactly what he should do.Ye Youran has always been indifferent, if it wasn't for Ye Qingxiao back then, he would never have re-entered the family tree.
Ye Youran has no intention of taking the throne.If he returns to Beijing at this time, the chances of winning are great.
However, once he leaves, what will happen to Ye Qingxiao?Either die or be humiliated, but with Ye Qingxiao's personality, if she wants to be humiliated, she would rather die.
Thinking of this, my palms feel cold.In a daze, he remembered the scene when Ye Qingxiao looked back with an umbrella when they first met that year, that lonely look made his heart tremble involuntarily.
It is said that Mo Yichen has already followed Chu Aohan, so what about him?Could he really throw all this away and return to Beijing to seize his throne?
Sitting high on that cold and gorgeous dragon chair, pointing the country, Yin and Yang are separated forever, this... is the result he wants?
After thinking about it several times and heartbroken several times, I couldn't be cruel in the end.
He stood up suddenly and shouted outside the door: "Come on!"
As soon as the words fell, a person pushed the door and entered, as if he had been waiting outside the door for a long time: "The minister is here."
Ye Chenxi looked at Su Moyun who was kneeling on one knee, feeling a little guilty in his heart, he slowly turned his face, and ordered: "Send the order, pack up the luggage, and go to Taijing immediately."
Su Moyun's whole body was shocked, she quickly raised her head, and looked at Ye Chenxi in disbelief, even her voice was hoarse: "Your Highness!"
Thailand is the capital of Rising Sun Kingdom, it is self-evident what Ye Chenxi is going to do in Thailand.
Hearing Su Moyun's cry, Ye Chenxi's heart trembled, she took a dark breath to calm herself down, and then said: "After listening to Mo Yichen's words, although this king is a little sad, he still refuses to say a word. No. What he said is the truth. Over the years, the king knows how many sinful things my mother and uncle have done in the dark room. The pillars in the middle are broken, and the people are resentful. After a hundred years from this king, the new king will be like sailing against the current, and it is even more likely that he will fight against Xiao Qiang. This king does not want to harm the government and the people because of his own selfish desires."
After hearing this, Su Moyun remained silent.They maintained a posture of standing and kneeling, and the atmosphere between them seemed to be frozen by the chill, which was very awkward.The cold wind blew in from outside the door, blowing up Ye Chenxi's clothes, and his sleeves fluttered.
After a while, Su Moyun asked: "Is your Highness telling the truth?"
Ye Chenxi nodded, with a firm expression on his face: "This king's decision is not only for the country, but also for the sake of my mother and uncle. If the relatives are powerful, there will be great disaster." After a pause, he continued: "As for the emperor brother, this king will save you Him, just because he is the emperor."
Su Moyun closed her eyes for a moment before looking up at Ye Chenxi again: "Since His Highness has made up his mind, I have nothing to say."
After finishing his speech, he got up and got dressed, saluted Ye Chenxi, and slowly retreated.
Ye Chenxi walked out of the wing room and looked up at the night sky. A waning moon hung in the sky, accompanied by a few dim stars, and sprinkled a few wisps of light like spider silk, as if to comfort all the lonely people in this world.
The crescent moon is like a hook, like a scar deeply embedded in the sky, as if calling for countless sorrows and loneliness in the world.Mo Yichen sat alone in front of the window of the inn, looking at the waning moon in the sky, lost in thought.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, he came back to his senses, brushed away the frost stained on his clothes, got up and opened the door.
When the door slowly opened, Ye Chenxi's face came into view. Although he looked a bit haggard, it was still difficult to hide the madness in his brows.
There was no trace of surprise on Mo Yichen's face, he just looked at Ye Chenxi with clear and quiet eyes, and then saluted: "I greet Your Highness."
After finishing speaking, he stepped aside and let Ye Chenxi come in.
"You don't seem surprised." Ye Chenxi closed the door, came to the table and sat down, Mo Yichen immediately poured him a cup of tea, and said: "No matter what your Highness chooses, I will not be surprised."
"Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without shaking his feet, he is indeed a national teacher." Ye Chenxi picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I dare not be a minister." Mo Yichen stood aside and replied politely.
"What are you doing standing up? Sit down!" Ye Chenxi took off the fox fur, hung it on the wall, and raised her eyebrows.He was dressed in white today, but he didn't have the slightest sense of refinement, instead he looked very chic and unrestrained.Mo Yichen couldn't help sighing in his heart: The only person in the world who can dress so wildly in white clothes is Kang Wang Ye Chenxi.
He sat down slowly, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked, "What is your Highness looking for with Yichen?"
Ye Chenxi gradually restrained the wildness between her brows, her serious face looked a little heavy under the flickering lights.He hesitated for a moment before saying: "This king came this time because he wanted to join forces with the national teacher to save the emperor's brother."
Mo Yichen stared at Ye Chenxi's face, and asked in a low voice: "Does Your Highness know what this means?"
"I know what I'm doing." Ye Chenxi turned his face, and from Mo Yichen's perspective, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, making it hard to see clearly.
"This king has decided to give up the throne."
When Mo Yichen heard the words, his eyes suddenly became deep and bright, and he stood up and bowed to Ye Chenxi, very respectful: "Your Highness puts the overall situation first, and I admire you very much."
Ye Chenxi turned her face back, and said with a half smile: "The national teacher doesn't need to be polite, this king has conditions."
When Mo Yichen heard the words, his expression was calm, as if he had expected it: "Your Highness, please tell me."
"The national teacher must promise the king on behalf of the emperor, and let the past be forgotten." After speaking, Ye Chenxi looked at Mo Yichen intently, waiting for his reply.
Mo Yichen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea gracefully, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Your Majesty is a person who values affection. Since Your Highness has reined in the precipice, His Majesty will naturally not care about the past. Yichen can promise on behalf of His Majesty." His Majesty's request."
"The previous matter that this king refers to does not concern this king alone, including his party members, especially the uncle and concubine Long." Ye Chenxi added.
After hearing this, Mo Yichen nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Yes."
"The National Teacher's Association agreed so easily because the National Teacher didn't know what the king did to the emperor." Ye Chenxi stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the first-quarter moon hanging in the sky, and her voice turned. Low: "This king has done unforgivable things to the emperor's brother."
Mo Yichen glanced at Ye Chenxi's back, and saw the faint moonlight shrouding him, reflecting off the white shirt, as if it wanted to melt his whole body.
Mo Yichen put down the teacup in his hand, and there was a soft sound when the teacup collided with the table.
"His Highness knows that he has done unforgivable things to His Majesty, but he is still willing to save His Majesty. It can be seen that His Highness is a person of affection. I know that His Majesty also has great affection in his heart. No matter what wrong things He has done, His Majesty will eventually forgive His Majesty." of."
Ye Chenxi didn't let go of her heart when she heard the words, but just sighed softly: "You don't understand."
"The one who doesn't understand is Your Highness."
Ye Chenxi turned his face, half of his face was bathed in the moonlight, his pair of phoenix eyes looked at Mo Yichen, without blinking.
"Although His Majesty is unwilling to hand over the throne to His Highness, if one day His Majesty has to entrust his life to someone, that person must be His Highness." Mo Yichen's thin lips parted slightly, and he looked at Ye Chenxi.
Because this person has been with Ye Qingxiao day and night for many years, and has always protected Ye Qingxiao, and even regards Ye Qingxiao's safety as more important than his own life.Even though he has lost his memory now, Mo Yichen believes that the bond between them will never disappear.
Ye Chenxi's whole body trembled, her eyes were blank.He and Ye Qingxiao have been fighting for power for many years, but Mo Yichen said that Ye Qingxiao was willing to entrust his life and death to him, no matter who heard it, they would think it was a joke.However, although Mo Yichen's voice was soft, his words were firm.
He... really doesn't understand...
Mo Yichen's gaze stayed on him all the time, his eyes were like ice and snow: "If Your Highness has not lost his memory, he must understand what I said."
Ye Chenxi's already chaotic heart lake was like throwing a boulder, causing huge waves, her thoughts were chaotic, and Ye Qingxiao's voice and smile appeared in her mind.
If he hadn't lost his memory... what would Ye Qingxiao look like in his memory?Will it still be as lonely as when we first met?
He couldn't help but think of the figure looking back while holding an umbrella. The loneliness hidden between the man's eyebrows still affects his heart.
"Since the minister has agreed to His Majesty's request, is His Majesty satisfied?"
Mo Yichen's voice woke him up from his contemplation, he pondered for a moment, and finally said: "In that case, this king will stay and rescue the imperial brother with the national teacher."
Mo Yichen's divine light flashed for a moment, and a smile appeared on his lips: "It's a deal."
They stood side by side in front of the window, the cold wind rushed in, blowing their sleeves, and the chill soaked their muscles, but they didn't mind it.The soft moonlight illuminated the two white clothes in front of the window. They stood quietly in front of the window, looking from a distance like two jade figures, making people unforgettable.
13. Guess
The night was deep, the wind was as sharp as a knife, and the official road was lonely and lonely, only the monotonous sound of horseshoes and wheels echoing silently.A team of hundreds of people was moving forward without any haste. The whole team had only one carriage, which was being carefully guarded by a group of burly men. The group of big men were expressionless and silent. I rode on my back for most of the day, but I didn't feel tired.
After another half an hour, someone in the carriage knocked twice, and immediately a guard approached and asked respectfully, "What is your Majesty's order?"
"It's late at night, let's rest here tonight!" A deep and majestic voice came from inside the carriage.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard responded and immediately ordered the team to stop.There were a few families not far away, and a dozen guards went over to take care of them ahead of time. Their voices were blowing in the wind, but they couldn't hear them clearly.
The lights in the carriage were like beans, and the halo was like smoke and gauze, illuminating Ye Qingxiao's face like jade porcelain. He had been in a coma for two days and hadn't woken up yet.The wrists with scars were wrapped with special silk, and the feet were also wrapped with one-step-long silk. Although walking was not a problem, they couldn't make much movement.
Chu Aohan turned his head to look at the face that was flickering under the halo, a smile appeared on his lips.
When Ye Qingxiao was on a mission to the Rising Sun Kingdom, he had a chat with him about world affairs. He admired Ye Qingxiao, but he also knew that this person was a man of the world and a beautiful chest. Once he reached the top, he would be his lifelong enemy.So later, when King Yu borrowed troops to attack Dongyue Kingdom, he ordered his confidant General Tan Xian to go back to Ye Qingxiao's fief Anding City, and let him find ways to capture Ye Qingxiao alive.
It's just that things backfired, Ye Qingxiao closed the city and stood firm, finally waiting for reinforcements.Later, the Rising Sun Army was defeated, and Ye Qingxiao was taken hostage because of her bodyguard's eagerness to save her brother, and fell into the hands of the Rising Sun Army.Hearing the news in court, he was so happy that he stayed up all night, and rushed to the battlefield starry night, but when he arrived, Ye Qingxiao had already been rescued by his rebellious bodyguard, and fled into Tianshan Mountain.In the end, they encountered the shocking landslide, which caused Ye Chenxi, who had been saving his brother thousands of miles away, to almost die.
If not, he would have no chance to save Ye Chenxi.
Unexpectedly, two years later, Ye Qingxiao fell into his hands again.Just when his eyes fell on Ye Qingxiao's face again, those closed eyes finally opened slowly, meeting Chu Aohan's eyes.
"Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?" Chu Aohan leaned forward with a smile on his lips.
Faced with this situation of being controlled by others, Ye Qingxiao's expression was indifferent, without any surprise or fear, and asked in a deep voice: "Chu Aohan, if you don't kill me, what are your intentions?"
Chu Aohan raised his eyebrows and asked back: "What do you think?"
Ye Qingxiao replied without thinking: "That must be to get something more valuable than my life."
Chu Aohan let out a long laugh, changed his sitting position, and said: "There are not many things in this world that are more valuable than your life." After speaking, he slowly approached Ye Qingxiao, whispering in his ear Said: "Tell me, if I exchange your life for half of Dongyue's country, will Ye Youran be willing?"
Ye Qingxiao's gaze turned cold: "You won't have this opportunity."
Chu Aohan never doubted Ye Qingxiao's words at all, he always knew that this person only had Dongyue in his heart.Before King Yu's rebellion, Ye Qingxiao and Ye Chenxi were fighting to the death. Later, Ye Chenxi gained the upper hand. Ye Qingxiao took the opportunity to ask himself to guard the frontier, and the fief he chose was only the same as that of King Yu. Tao Yu is separated by a Tianshan Mountain. If King Yu rebels, he will bear the brunt of it.
However, because of this, when King Yu rebelled, the scope of the war did not expand.In order to defend the country, this person can resolutely leave Beijing when the battle with Ye Chenxi is in full swing, and go to the enemy who sees the country by himself to fight desperately.
Chu Aohan dared to swear that if he really dared to exchange Ye Qingxiao for half of Dongyue's country, Ye Qingxiao would definitely kill himself.He glanced at Ye Qingxiao and asked: "If I don't plan to trade you for Dongyue's country. What do you think I want?"
Ye Qingxiao looked back at Chu Aohan, her eyes were as deep as the sea: "If dogs are in the same prison, if you throw them with bones, they will kill each other."
After Chu Aohan listened, the smile on his lips deepened.What Ye Qingxiao said was exactly his original intention. Ye Chenxi endured it for two years. If he knew that Ye Qingxiao had been captured, he would definitely return to his country to seize the throne. At that time, he would release the false news that Ye Qingxiao was killed to force Ye Youran to seize the throne. , Intensify the internal fighting in Dongyue, and no matter who ascends to the throne in the end, Dongyue will suffer a lot.
After the dust of Dongyue's internal strife settles, he will take Ye Qingxiao out to negotiate with Dongyue. If the new king refuses to negotiate, he will reach an agreement with Ye Qingxiao in private and let Ye Qingxiao go back to the country. There must be another civil unrest.Even if the new king is willing to abdicate automatically, but after all, he was once an emperor, how could Ye Qingxiao tolerate him?A rift has already arisen, and internal fighting is a matter of time.He can benefit as long as he sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight.
It is easy to kill Ye Qingxiao, but Ye Chenxi and Ye Youran are not easy-going lamps, and letting one of them succeed to the throne will not benefit much, only letting them kill each other is the most satisfactory result.
At this moment, the guard's respectful voice sounded outside: "Your Majesty, the inside is ready."
Although Chu Aohan only brought a few hundred guards with him, there were actually several groups of people in front and back, and they only went on the road in batches to avoid attracting attention.These people are responsible for mopping up suspicious people. Once there is a change, they can respond back and forth. It is not easy to save Ye Qingxiao. Even if they are rescued, they will be surrounded and will be found out sooner or later.
As the voice gradually fell, the brocade curtain was lifted by the guards, and the soft moonlight shone into the carriage, like a layer of tulle.Chu Aohan got off the carriage, then turned around, and stretched out his hand to Ye Qingxiao, wanting to help him.
Ye Qingxiao only glanced at him, then carefully stretched out one foot, trying to step on the sedan chair on the ground, but the silk wrapped around his foot was too short, his body instantly lost balance, staggered, Seeing that he was about to fall, Chu Aohan caught him quickly with his eyes and hands, the skin of the two of them stuck together through the clothes, they breathed and smelled each other, and they were indescribably ambiguous.
The guards around are well-trained, in the face of ambiguity, if you see dust, you don't even blink, but Ye Qingxiao is secretly annoyed, he quickly broke away from Chu Aohan's arms, straightened his clothes, and walked in the direction pointed by the guards go.
A happy smile appeared on Chu Aohan's lips, he quickened his pace and walked to Ye Qingxiao's side, and walked into the room side by side with him.
The inside of the house is very simple, with only a wooden couch, a table and two chairs. The inside of the house has been cleaned, a brazier is burning in the corner, and a box lamp is lit on the table, illuminating the room brightly.
Ye Qingxiao sat on one of the chairs. At this moment, he had calmed down, his expression was serious, with an innate majesty on his body, as if he was not being restrained, but a guest.
When Ye Qingxiao picked up the teapot on the table, Chu Aohan quickly walked over and held Ye Qingxiao's hand: "Don't drink the water here, be careful."
Ye Qingxiao raised her eyebrows, if the water was poisonous, Mo Yichen and his party were most likely to poison it.If he drinks first, Chu Aohan will easily let go of his guard.But this man's city is very deep, first he sent people to sweep the road ahead, and the meals along the way never passed through the hands of strangers, making it impossible for people to start.
Chu Aohan handed him a water bag and said with a smile, "Drink it quickly!"
Ye Qingxiao took the water bag, took a few sips, and then put the water bag back on the table.Not long after, another guard came in with a plate of roasted wild boar meat, and the strong smell of meat permeated the room, whetting one's appetite.The guard cut the wild pork into small pieces, put down two pairs of bamboo chopsticks, and retreated respectfully.
Chu Aohan stuffed a pair of bamboo chopsticks into Ye Qingxiao's hands, and said: "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." After finishing speaking, he picked up another pair of bamboo chopsticks and started eating.Ye Qingxiao knew that the most important thing at this moment was to maintain physical strength, so naturally he would not be polite. Although it was inconvenient for his hands to be bound by silk, he still readily put a piece of pork into his mouth. The pork was cooked just right, tender and juicy, very It was delicious, Ye Qingxiao picked up a few more pieces, and was soon half full.
Chu Aohan suddenly stopped the bamboo chopsticks, glanced at Ye Qingxiao, and said, "When I changed your bloody clothes for you the night before yesterday, I found many scars on your body. Ye Chenxi did it, right?"
Ye Qingxiao shook the hand holding the bamboo chopsticks lightly, but he soon came back to his senses, and said indifferently: "That's a family matter between me and him."
"You made a cruel move on him two years ago, no wonder he wants to hate you." After a pause, Chu Aohan continued: "If my imperial brother is still alive, he should hate me like this too, right?"
Although he said this, there was no sadness in his tone.Wuqing is the emperor's family the most. He and Chu Aoqin have been fighting for half their lives. Even if he doesn't fight, Chu Aoqin can't tolerate him, and the two of them will not rest until they die.
In this respect, Ye Qingxiao and Ye Chenxi are surprisingly similar to them, and it is precisely because of this that Chu Aohan saved Ye Chenxi.The more intense the fight between their brothers, the more beneficial it will be for Chu Aohan.
"What's the use of talking about it now? Sitting on that dragon chair is destined to be extremely cold." Ye Qingxiao put down the bamboo chopsticks, stood up, looked around the whole room, and asked: "I want to sleep where?"
Chu Aohan pointed at the only bamboo couch in the house with a finger: "I have always respected you, so naturally I can't bear to treat you harshly, you can sleep on the couch!"
Although Chu Aohan killed his brother to seize the throne, he respected heroes the most in his life. When he was forced into the palace, Chu Aoqin drew his sword and killed himself in front of his eyes. One of his subordinates asked whether he should cut off Chu Aoqin's head to relieve the soldiers. But refused.Although he had fought with Chu Aoqin for half his life, he still respected Chu Aoqin's character, so he left Chu Aoqin's body and buried him generously.
After Chu Aoqin passed away, he regarded Ye Qingxiao as his biggest opponent. He was wary of Ye Qingxiao, but also respected Ye Qingxiao. The happiest moment in his life was when he and Ye Qingxiao talked about wine. For some time, although that time can no longer be returned, he is still willing to treat Ye Qingxiao with courtesy.
Ye Qingxiao glanced at the bamboo couch, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about you?"
Chu Aohan replied without hesitation: "Of course I also sleep on the couch, do you think I will wrong myself to sleep on the cold floor?"
Of course Ye Qingxiao doesn't expect him to sleep on the floor, but there are several houses here, he can choose one to sleep in.However, with Chu Aohan's prudence, it is estimated that he will not let him out of sight until he arrives in Taijing.
After thinking about it in my heart, I finally decided to ignore such trivial matters.He walked to the couch and lay down with all his clothes on, even refusing to untie his hair.
Chu Aohan sat at the table and read a book for a while, until he turned off the box light when he was ugly, he walked slowly to the edge of the couch to take off his clothes, then lay down on the couch, covered with a silk quilt.Ye Qingxiao lay with her back to him, motionless, breathing evenly, wondering if she fell asleep.
Chu Aohan was already tired, he turned sideways to face Ye Qingxiao, closed his eyes, and soon let out even breaths.
14. Life is hard to hate
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qingxiao turned around slowly, and quietly looked at Chu Aohan's sleeping face in the dark night.At that moment, he almost had an urge to strangle Chu Aohan's neck with the special silk that bound his hands until he stopped breathing.
However, in a flash of his mind, he dismissed this idea, not to mention whether he can escape successfully after killing Chu Aohan, the most important thing is that he does not believe that the scheming Chu Aohan dares to sleep soundly beside him, just like him It's like not daring to sleep soundly beside Chu Aohan.
After a while, those originally closed star eyes slowly opened, entangled with Ye Qingxiao's eyes in the dark night.
"Did you ever think about killing me just now?" Chu Aohan's voice sounded like a night whisper of a ghost, falling into Ye Qingxiao's ears very clearly in the still night.
Ye Qingxiao was shocked when she heard the words, but on the surface she remained indifferent: "I know I can't kill you, so why bother myself?"
"That's right, although Ye Qingxiao in my impression is courageous, he is decisive. Every advance and retreat has been carefully calculated, and there are almost no accidents. However, why are you willing to take the risk this time to worship?" Shengjia tribe? Do you have a reason to take risks?" Although Chu Aohan's tone was soft, his eyes were piercing, as if he wanted to look into the depths of Ye Qingxiao's soul.
Ye Qingxiao's heart tightened, and the hand hidden under the brocade quilt trembled almost invisibly.The death of the Shengjia clan has been hidden in his heart for many years. Although he has never repented, he has always felt guilty.Therefore, knowing that this trip may be dangerous, he still took the risk.He knew that there was nothing he could do to make up for it, but he just wanted to do his best.
His thoughts drifted away for only a moment, and he quickly came back to his senses, saying: "I just want to do my part for Yichen's people."
Chu Aohan glanced at Ye Qingxiao meaningfully: "You treat Mo Yichen with deep affection." After a pause, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pressed towards Ye Qingxiao: "But I'm very curious. Your father clearly intends to recruit the Shengjia clan, why did he suddenly go back on his word?"
Ye Qingxiao knew that Chu Aohan was trying to test him, he looked back at Chu Aohan, his eyes were not happy: "The Shengjia clan has surrendered four times and rebelled four times, disturbing your country for more than 100 years, don't you still understand Father's thoughts? "
Chu Aohan chuckled lightly and said: "There is such a powerful and ambitious group beside the couch, it really makes people sleepless, and I would choose this once-and-for-all method. Your father is thinking about his death , he is afraid that in the future, Dongyue Kingdom will repeat the mistakes of our country in the past, neither can control the Shengjia tribe, but can't abandon it."
After finishing speaking, a startled shout sounded from outside the room: "Who is it!"
As soon as the words fell, there was another sound of sword clashing, Chu Aohan and Ye Qingxiao were startled at the same time, they looked at each other with different thoughts.
If people came only to assassinate Chu Aohan, Chu Aohan would naturally do his best to protect Ye Qingxiao, but if those people came to save Ye Qingxiao, then they would become enemies in the next moment, so the relationship between them The atmosphere became delicate and awkward.
The fighting outside became more and more chaotic, and the atmosphere between them became more and more tense.These days, in order to prevent Ye Qingxiao from snatching his weapon when he was not prepared, Chu Aohan only carried a dagger with him. At this moment, he had already held the dagger in his hand, ready to put it on Ye Qingxiao's neck at any time.
And Ye Qingxiao has also secretly accumulated strength, ready to break away from Chu Aohan's control at any time.The two listened to the clanging of swords and swords outside, and had to be on guard against each other, and they felt tired within a short while.
With a loud noise, the door was kicked open, and the whole house shook. A man in black rushed in, glanced at the couch, and swung his sword.
Although Ye Qingxiao's hands and feet were bound, she still quickly turned to the right, and ran out of the room past the man in black.Chu Aohan's eyes flickered, he sideways dodged the man in black's attack, grabbed his hand when his sword was too late to close, slashed with his right palm, grabbed his sword while he was in pain, and swung his backhand The sword brushed against his neck.
Chu Aohan jumped over the fallen man in black and quickly chased him out.Because Ye Qingxiao's feet were bound, he didn't run fast. When he ran out of the door, Chu Aohan had already chased after him. He was so anxious that he exaggerated too much in the next step, but was blocked by silk, and fell to the ground On the ground, there was a burst of dizziness.
From the moment Ye Qingxiao ran out of the room, there was a man in black who gave up fighting and ran towards him. Although the man changed his face and covered his face with a black scarf, Ye Qingxiao knew when he met the man's eyes who is he.This gaze has followed him for more than 20 years. Even if he deliberately forbears in front of others, he can still feel the ardent affection in the gaze.Even though he had pretended not to care for years, he never dared to forget.
Why did this Ye Chenxi, who was bound to win his throne and who hated him deeply, not rush back to the capital to take the throne after hearing the news that he had been captured, but took the risk to save him instead?
In a daze, he seemed to see Ye Chenxi who was desperate to save him when the cave collapsed back then.Although he is in danger now, his heart is like a warm spring.
At this time Chu Aohan was the closest to Ye Qingxiao, he snorted coldly, and was about to reach out to grab Ye Qingxiao, when he stretched halfway, he suddenly heard the sound of piercing the sky, he looked up and found a feathered arrow pointing directly at it His face flew towards him, and he swung his sword to chop off the feather arrow, but the thousand-level force still made him feel numb.
Before Chu Aohan could catch his breath, another feathered arrow flew towards him, his black eyes narrowed, and he casually pulled Ye Qingxiao who was on the ground to block him in front of him, his eyes were full of warning.
Ye Qingxiao was caught suddenly, and before she could recover, she heard a cold howling piercing through the air and a few exclamations, while Ye Chenxi, who was rushing towards him, was shocked all over, her pupils suddenly froze. shrink.
When Ye Qingxiao found out that Sen Leng's arrow was flying towards him, he couldn't make a strong resistance at all, he could only wait for the sharp pain to strike.When the feather arrow was about to hit his shoulder, a long sword suddenly lay across in front of his body, with a bang sound, the momentum of the arrow feather hit Ye Qingxiao's heart numbly, but it didn't really hurt him. Ya is blocked
Mo Yichen's whole body was shaken, and he slowly raised his head to look at Ye Chenxi, and then he seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled sadly: "Even His Highness himself refused to believe it, no wonder he didn't believe it back then..."
What Mo Yichen wanted to say was exactly the same as Ye Qingxiao.Ye Chenxi's heart tightened, but she still said in a cold voice: "At that time, all the guards of the emperor's brother were present, and the king was injured for no reason, and then fell into the collapsed cave, but the emperor was able to escape safely. How to explain it?"
In a trance, Mo Yichen felt that this scene was extremely familiar, as if he had returned to the heart-wrenching dispute two years ago.
"Whether you believe it or not, I still say the same thing. The death of His Highness King Kang was not caused by His Highness King Qin."
"I also said I don't believe it."
He and Xue Lingyun have known each other for more than ten years, almost for a lifetime, but in the end, they only got him a word of disbelief after knowing each other for many years.
Those persistent words still broke his heart to ashes. The person standing in front of him should be the one who knows the truth best, but he asked him the truth instead, which is really sad and ridiculous.
"Even if the minister answers, His Highness won't believe it. Why do you need to ask again?" Mo Yichen looked directly at Ye Chenxi, his eyes were like flowing springs: "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"
Seeing Mo Yichen's appearance that he obviously didn't want to talk anymore, Ye Chenxi said immediately: "I have something to ask."
Mo Yichen raised his eyebrows, and stood there looking at Ye Chenxi. With his smooth skin against the white shirt, he didn't look like a mortal.
Ye Chenxi pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "This king once forced the emperor to write an abdication edict, but the emperor would rather die than surrender. He said that if something happened to him, his throne could only be inherited by Ye Youran. This king doesn't understand, this king In what way is it inferior to Ye Youran? Could it be because this king competed with the emperor for the throne back then, and the emperor has always held grudges?"
After all, Ye Chenxi seemed to hear a low sigh, but when he cast his eyes on Mo Yichen, Mo Yichen was the same, those eyes seemed to be pure ice jade, making people dare not stare at them.
"Your Majesty's thoughts, do you really not understand His Majesty?"
"I heard that the national teacher and the emperor's brother are connected, please explain the confusion." Ye Chenxi's tone was a little less angry and more sincere.
Mo Yichen looked at Ye Chenxi with extremely complicated eyes, as if with some appreciation, but also mixed with a trace of helplessness: "Your Highness is brilliant and armed with armor. If he rises to the top, even if his martial arts is not as good as His Majesty, I will The prosperity of the martial arts in the dynasty may not be as good as in the previous dynasty. However..."
Ye Chenxi frowned and asked, "But what?"
"There is Concubine Long on Your Highness, and there is an uncle next to him. This is not a blessing for the country. Concubine Long is cruel and merciless, and there is no room for a grain of sand in her eyes. After His Highness ascends to the throne, His Highness Heng Wang and His Majesty's close officials will definitely not survive. As for Uncle Guo, this person helped His Highness to the throne, and he is His Highness's uncle, even if he becomes domineering in the future, His Highness will not bear to convict him, and if things go on like this, there will be great chaos."
Ye Chenxi was stunned, but couldn't help but retort: "With this king here, my uncle will not come here..."
"Yes, if His Highness is here, the uncle may not be here yet, but what about His Highness a hundred years later? When His Highness's descendants succeed to the throne, Qi Wan will be fierce, how will the new king clean up the mess? I'm afraid the disaster of Xiao Qiang is not far away."
Mo Yichen spoke calmly, but no one could refute a word.He knew exactly what kind of people his mother and uncle were.Although he lost his memory, how did Lan Concubine die back then, and the truth about Ye Youran's mother's court scandal could not escape his mind.
From all kinds of clues, it can be seen that even without the landslide two years ago, the father would still hand over the throne to Ye Qingxiao in the end.Maybe the emperor also considered this point?Although the father loves his mother very much, he will still make the most sensible choice when it comes to the country and the country.
Seeing that Ye Chenxi was lost in thought, Mo Yichen continued, "In His Majesty's eyes, Dongyue is the most important thing. Even he himself is ranked behind Dongyue. If Your Highness doesn't understand him, I can't do anything about it."
After finishing speaking, Mo Yichen flicked his sleeves and left without staying.When Mo Yichen stepped out of the threshold, he just glanced at Su Moyun who was standing outside the door, and both sides quickly looked away.Mo Yichen's white clothes fluttered like duckweed, reflecting each other with the white snow on the ground, flowing like a fairy, and soon disappeared.
Ye Chenxi followed Mo Yichen out of the front hall, and was silent with Su Moyun who was standing aside.Since the unpleasant day, they have tried to avoid being alone with each other, and they have still not let go of their past.Now that the two face each other, both sides are a little embarrassed.
After a long time, Ye Chenxi asked in a low voice: "Did you hear that?"
Su Moyun nodded, looking directly at Ye Chenxi with eyes as bright as stars: "What is your Highness planning?"
Ye Chenxi's heart was boiling, and he knew what choice he should make intellectually, but he still couldn't bear it. Ye Qingxiao's lonely eyes repeatedly appeared in his mind, stirring his heart and making him Can't escape.
Su Moyun had a clear mind, so he naturally knew that Ye Chenxi was struggling in his heart. He let out a low sigh and said, "I was indeed with His Highness Qi that day. I have been with the Highness for two years, and I know that His Highness has lofty aspirations. Things are moving in the ideal direction step by step, but His Highness is becoming more and more hesitant, how can I not be worried?"
Ye Chenxi remained silent, fisted with five fingers, her handsome face was as pale as snow.
Su Moyun knew that he was suffering, but still said word by word: "The battle for the throne is different from other things. Either you die or I die. Your highness has repeatedly offended the holy face. If your highness is soft-hearted and saved your majesty today, he will come back to you in the future." Will the capital let His Highness go?"
Ye Chenxi's whole body trembled, her fingertips sank into her palms, her eyes wandered on the snow, never looking at Su Moyun.
Su Moyun continued to persuade: "When the time comes, not only His Highness will die, but also Concubine Long and Uncle Guo will not be spared. Your Highness should know which is more important."
After listening, Ye Chenxi finally slowly raised his head to look at Su Moyun, with an unconcealable heaviness in his eyes: "Mo Yun, I understand everything you said, but I just..."
Su Moyun sighed softly: "The overlord is ruthless. If His Highness wants to gain authority over the overlord, he must give up certain things. This is all I have said, Your Highness should think about it carefully!"
After finishing speaking, Su Moyun bowed respectfully to Ye Chenxi, and walked away.Ye Chenxi stared blankly at Su Moyun's back until the light green shirt disappeared into the snow. The cold wind sent a chill down the spine.
Although the world is big, where can people feel at ease?
12、If life is just like first sight
When the lights come on, the crescent moon is like a knife, and the exquisite brilliance falls softly, flowing in from the window, adding a bit of softness to the cold and lonely room.
The room was brightly lit, Ye Chenxi was leaning on the desk, the soft halo illuminated his slightly tired face, loneliness and struggle were deeply written on his face.
After Mo Yichen left, he sent spies out to inquire, and the news he got was exactly the same as what Mo Yichen said, that person had indeed fallen into Chu Aohan's hands.
For a while, I was in a mess.It's not that he doesn't understand Su Moyun's meaning, in fact he knows exactly what he should do.Ye Youran has always been indifferent, if it wasn't for Ye Qingxiao back then, he would never have re-entered the family tree.
Ye Youran has no intention of taking the throne.If he returns to Beijing at this time, the chances of winning are great.
However, once he leaves, what will happen to Ye Qingxiao?Either die or be humiliated, but with Ye Qingxiao's personality, if she wants to be humiliated, she would rather die.
Thinking of this, my palms feel cold.In a daze, he remembered the scene when Ye Qingxiao looked back with an umbrella when they first met that year, that lonely look made his heart tremble involuntarily.
It is said that Mo Yichen has already followed Chu Aohan, so what about him?Could he really throw all this away and return to Beijing to seize his throne?
Sitting high on that cold and gorgeous dragon chair, pointing the country, Yin and Yang are separated forever, this... is the result he wants?
After thinking about it several times and heartbroken several times, I couldn't be cruel in the end.
He stood up suddenly and shouted outside the door: "Come on!"
As soon as the words fell, a person pushed the door and entered, as if he had been waiting outside the door for a long time: "The minister is here."
Ye Chenxi looked at Su Moyun who was kneeling on one knee, feeling a little guilty in his heart, he slowly turned his face, and ordered: "Send the order, pack up the luggage, and go to Taijing immediately."
Su Moyun's whole body was shocked, she quickly raised her head, and looked at Ye Chenxi in disbelief, even her voice was hoarse: "Your Highness!"
Thailand is the capital of Rising Sun Kingdom, it is self-evident what Ye Chenxi is going to do in Thailand.
Hearing Su Moyun's cry, Ye Chenxi's heart trembled, she took a dark breath to calm herself down, and then said: "After listening to Mo Yichen's words, although this king is a little sad, he still refuses to say a word. No. What he said is the truth. Over the years, the king knows how many sinful things my mother and uncle have done in the dark room. The pillars in the middle are broken, and the people are resentful. After a hundred years from this king, the new king will be like sailing against the current, and it is even more likely that he will fight against Xiao Qiang. This king does not want to harm the government and the people because of his own selfish desires."
After hearing this, Su Moyun remained silent.They maintained a posture of standing and kneeling, and the atmosphere between them seemed to be frozen by the chill, which was very awkward.The cold wind blew in from outside the door, blowing up Ye Chenxi's clothes, and his sleeves fluttered.
After a while, Su Moyun asked: "Is your Highness telling the truth?"
Ye Chenxi nodded, with a firm expression on his face: "This king's decision is not only for the country, but also for the sake of my mother and uncle. If the relatives are powerful, there will be great disaster." After a pause, he continued: "As for the emperor brother, this king will save you Him, just because he is the emperor."
Su Moyun closed her eyes for a moment before looking up at Ye Chenxi again: "Since His Highness has made up his mind, I have nothing to say."
After finishing his speech, he got up and got dressed, saluted Ye Chenxi, and slowly retreated.
Ye Chenxi walked out of the wing room and looked up at the night sky. A waning moon hung in the sky, accompanied by a few dim stars, and sprinkled a few wisps of light like spider silk, as if to comfort all the lonely people in this world.
The crescent moon is like a hook, like a scar deeply embedded in the sky, as if calling for countless sorrows and loneliness in the world.Mo Yichen sat alone in front of the window of the inn, looking at the waning moon in the sky, lost in thought.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, he came back to his senses, brushed away the frost stained on his clothes, got up and opened the door.
When the door slowly opened, Ye Chenxi's face came into view. Although he looked a bit haggard, it was still difficult to hide the madness in his brows.
There was no trace of surprise on Mo Yichen's face, he just looked at Ye Chenxi with clear and quiet eyes, and then saluted: "I greet Your Highness."
After finishing speaking, he stepped aside and let Ye Chenxi come in.
"You don't seem surprised." Ye Chenxi closed the door, came to the table and sat down, Mo Yichen immediately poured him a cup of tea, and said: "No matter what your Highness chooses, I will not be surprised."
"Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without shaking his feet, he is indeed a national teacher." Ye Chenxi picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I dare not be a minister." Mo Yichen stood aside and replied politely.
"What are you doing standing up? Sit down!" Ye Chenxi took off the fox fur, hung it on the wall, and raised her eyebrows.He was dressed in white today, but he didn't have the slightest sense of refinement, instead he looked very chic and unrestrained.Mo Yichen couldn't help sighing in his heart: The only person in the world who can dress so wildly in white clothes is Kang Wang Ye Chenxi.
He sat down slowly, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked, "What is your Highness looking for with Yichen?"
Ye Chenxi gradually restrained the wildness between her brows, her serious face looked a little heavy under the flickering lights.He hesitated for a moment before saying: "This king came this time because he wanted to join forces with the national teacher to save the emperor's brother."
Mo Yichen stared at Ye Chenxi's face, and asked in a low voice: "Does Your Highness know what this means?"
"I know what I'm doing." Ye Chenxi turned his face, and from Mo Yichen's perspective, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, making it hard to see clearly.
"This king has decided to give up the throne."
When Mo Yichen heard the words, his eyes suddenly became deep and bright, and he stood up and bowed to Ye Chenxi, very respectful: "Your Highness puts the overall situation first, and I admire you very much."
Ye Chenxi turned her face back, and said with a half smile: "The national teacher doesn't need to be polite, this king has conditions."
When Mo Yichen heard the words, his expression was calm, as if he had expected it: "Your Highness, please tell me."
"The national teacher must promise the king on behalf of the emperor, and let the past be forgotten." After speaking, Ye Chenxi looked at Mo Yichen intently, waiting for his reply.
Mo Yichen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea gracefully, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Your Majesty is a person who values affection. Since Your Highness has reined in the precipice, His Majesty will naturally not care about the past. Yichen can promise on behalf of His Majesty." His Majesty's request."
"The previous matter that this king refers to does not concern this king alone, including his party members, especially the uncle and concubine Long." Ye Chenxi added.
After hearing this, Mo Yichen nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Yes."
"The National Teacher's Association agreed so easily because the National Teacher didn't know what the king did to the emperor." Ye Chenxi stood up, walked slowly to the window, looked at the first-quarter moon hanging in the sky, and her voice turned. Low: "This king has done unforgivable things to the emperor's brother."
Mo Yichen glanced at Ye Chenxi's back, and saw the faint moonlight shrouding him, reflecting off the white shirt, as if it wanted to melt his whole body.
Mo Yichen put down the teacup in his hand, and there was a soft sound when the teacup collided with the table.
"His Highness knows that he has done unforgivable things to His Majesty, but he is still willing to save His Majesty. It can be seen that His Highness is a person of affection. I know that His Majesty also has great affection in his heart. No matter what wrong things He has done, His Majesty will eventually forgive His Majesty." of."
Ye Chenxi didn't let go of her heart when she heard the words, but just sighed softly: "You don't understand."
"The one who doesn't understand is Your Highness."
Ye Chenxi turned his face, half of his face was bathed in the moonlight, his pair of phoenix eyes looked at Mo Yichen, without blinking.
"Although His Majesty is unwilling to hand over the throne to His Highness, if one day His Majesty has to entrust his life to someone, that person must be His Highness." Mo Yichen's thin lips parted slightly, and he looked at Ye Chenxi.
Because this person has been with Ye Qingxiao day and night for many years, and has always protected Ye Qingxiao, and even regards Ye Qingxiao's safety as more important than his own life.Even though he has lost his memory now, Mo Yichen believes that the bond between them will never disappear.
Ye Chenxi's whole body trembled, her eyes were blank.He and Ye Qingxiao have been fighting for power for many years, but Mo Yichen said that Ye Qingxiao was willing to entrust his life and death to him, no matter who heard it, they would think it was a joke.However, although Mo Yichen's voice was soft, his words were firm.
He... really doesn't understand...
Mo Yichen's gaze stayed on him all the time, his eyes were like ice and snow: "If Your Highness has not lost his memory, he must understand what I said."
Ye Chenxi's already chaotic heart lake was like throwing a boulder, causing huge waves, her thoughts were chaotic, and Ye Qingxiao's voice and smile appeared in her mind.
If he hadn't lost his memory... what would Ye Qingxiao look like in his memory?Will it still be as lonely as when we first met?
He couldn't help but think of the figure looking back while holding an umbrella. The loneliness hidden between the man's eyebrows still affects his heart.
"Since the minister has agreed to His Majesty's request, is His Majesty satisfied?"
Mo Yichen's voice woke him up from his contemplation, he pondered for a moment, and finally said: "In that case, this king will stay and rescue the imperial brother with the national teacher."
Mo Yichen's divine light flashed for a moment, and a smile appeared on his lips: "It's a deal."
They stood side by side in front of the window, the cold wind rushed in, blowing their sleeves, and the chill soaked their muscles, but they didn't mind it.The soft moonlight illuminated the two white clothes in front of the window. They stood quietly in front of the window, looking from a distance like two jade figures, making people unforgettable.
13. Guess
The night was deep, the wind was as sharp as a knife, and the official road was lonely and lonely, only the monotonous sound of horseshoes and wheels echoing silently.A team of hundreds of people was moving forward without any haste. The whole team had only one carriage, which was being carefully guarded by a group of burly men. The group of big men were expressionless and silent. I rode on my back for most of the day, but I didn't feel tired.
After another half an hour, someone in the carriage knocked twice, and immediately a guard approached and asked respectfully, "What is your Majesty's order?"
"It's late at night, let's rest here tonight!" A deep and majestic voice came from inside the carriage.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard responded and immediately ordered the team to stop.There were a few families not far away, and a dozen guards went over to take care of them ahead of time. Their voices were blowing in the wind, but they couldn't hear them clearly.
The lights in the carriage were like beans, and the halo was like smoke and gauze, illuminating Ye Qingxiao's face like jade porcelain. He had been in a coma for two days and hadn't woken up yet.The wrists with scars were wrapped with special silk, and the feet were also wrapped with one-step-long silk. Although walking was not a problem, they couldn't make much movement.
Chu Aohan turned his head to look at the face that was flickering under the halo, a smile appeared on his lips.
When Ye Qingxiao was on a mission to the Rising Sun Kingdom, he had a chat with him about world affairs. He admired Ye Qingxiao, but he also knew that this person was a man of the world and a beautiful chest. Once he reached the top, he would be his lifelong enemy.So later, when King Yu borrowed troops to attack Dongyue Kingdom, he ordered his confidant General Tan Xian to go back to Ye Qingxiao's fief Anding City, and let him find ways to capture Ye Qingxiao alive.
It's just that things backfired, Ye Qingxiao closed the city and stood firm, finally waiting for reinforcements.Later, the Rising Sun Army was defeated, and Ye Qingxiao was taken hostage because of her bodyguard's eagerness to save her brother, and fell into the hands of the Rising Sun Army.Hearing the news in court, he was so happy that he stayed up all night, and rushed to the battlefield starry night, but when he arrived, Ye Qingxiao had already been rescued by his rebellious bodyguard, and fled into Tianshan Mountain.In the end, they encountered the shocking landslide, which caused Ye Chenxi, who had been saving his brother thousands of miles away, to almost die.
If not, he would have no chance to save Ye Chenxi.
Unexpectedly, two years later, Ye Qingxiao fell into his hands again.Just when his eyes fell on Ye Qingxiao's face again, those closed eyes finally opened slowly, meeting Chu Aohan's eyes.
"Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?" Chu Aohan leaned forward with a smile on his lips.
Faced with this situation of being controlled by others, Ye Qingxiao's expression was indifferent, without any surprise or fear, and asked in a deep voice: "Chu Aohan, if you don't kill me, what are your intentions?"
Chu Aohan raised his eyebrows and asked back: "What do you think?"
Ye Qingxiao replied without thinking: "That must be to get something more valuable than my life."
Chu Aohan let out a long laugh, changed his sitting position, and said: "There are not many things in this world that are more valuable than your life." After speaking, he slowly approached Ye Qingxiao, whispering in his ear Said: "Tell me, if I exchange your life for half of Dongyue's country, will Ye Youran be willing?"
Ye Qingxiao's gaze turned cold: "You won't have this opportunity."
Chu Aohan never doubted Ye Qingxiao's words at all, he always knew that this person only had Dongyue in his heart.Before King Yu's rebellion, Ye Qingxiao and Ye Chenxi were fighting to the death. Later, Ye Chenxi gained the upper hand. Ye Qingxiao took the opportunity to ask himself to guard the frontier, and the fief he chose was only the same as that of King Yu. Tao Yu is separated by a Tianshan Mountain. If King Yu rebels, he will bear the brunt of it.
However, because of this, when King Yu rebelled, the scope of the war did not expand.In order to defend the country, this person can resolutely leave Beijing when the battle with Ye Chenxi is in full swing, and go to the enemy who sees the country by himself to fight desperately.
Chu Aohan dared to swear that if he really dared to exchange Ye Qingxiao for half of Dongyue's country, Ye Qingxiao would definitely kill himself.He glanced at Ye Qingxiao and asked: "If I don't plan to trade you for Dongyue's country. What do you think I want?"
Ye Qingxiao looked back at Chu Aohan, her eyes were as deep as the sea: "If dogs are in the same prison, if you throw them with bones, they will kill each other."
After Chu Aohan listened, the smile on his lips deepened.What Ye Qingxiao said was exactly his original intention. Ye Chenxi endured it for two years. If he knew that Ye Qingxiao had been captured, he would definitely return to his country to seize the throne. At that time, he would release the false news that Ye Qingxiao was killed to force Ye Youran to seize the throne. , Intensify the internal fighting in Dongyue, and no matter who ascends to the throne in the end, Dongyue will suffer a lot.
After the dust of Dongyue's internal strife settles, he will take Ye Qingxiao out to negotiate with Dongyue. If the new king refuses to negotiate, he will reach an agreement with Ye Qingxiao in private and let Ye Qingxiao go back to the country. There must be another civil unrest.Even if the new king is willing to abdicate automatically, but after all, he was once an emperor, how could Ye Qingxiao tolerate him?A rift has already arisen, and internal fighting is a matter of time.He can benefit as long as he sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight.
It is easy to kill Ye Qingxiao, but Ye Chenxi and Ye Youran are not easy-going lamps, and letting one of them succeed to the throne will not benefit much, only letting them kill each other is the most satisfactory result.
At this moment, the guard's respectful voice sounded outside: "Your Majesty, the inside is ready."
Although Chu Aohan only brought a few hundred guards with him, there were actually several groups of people in front and back, and they only went on the road in batches to avoid attracting attention.These people are responsible for mopping up suspicious people. Once there is a change, they can respond back and forth. It is not easy to save Ye Qingxiao. Even if they are rescued, they will be surrounded and will be found out sooner or later.
As the voice gradually fell, the brocade curtain was lifted by the guards, and the soft moonlight shone into the carriage, like a layer of tulle.Chu Aohan got off the carriage, then turned around, and stretched out his hand to Ye Qingxiao, wanting to help him.
Ye Qingxiao only glanced at him, then carefully stretched out one foot, trying to step on the sedan chair on the ground, but the silk wrapped around his foot was too short, his body instantly lost balance, staggered, Seeing that he was about to fall, Chu Aohan caught him quickly with his eyes and hands, the skin of the two of them stuck together through the clothes, they breathed and smelled each other, and they were indescribably ambiguous.
The guards around are well-trained, in the face of ambiguity, if you see dust, you don't even blink, but Ye Qingxiao is secretly annoyed, he quickly broke away from Chu Aohan's arms, straightened his clothes, and walked in the direction pointed by the guards go.
A happy smile appeared on Chu Aohan's lips, he quickened his pace and walked to Ye Qingxiao's side, and walked into the room side by side with him.
The inside of the house is very simple, with only a wooden couch, a table and two chairs. The inside of the house has been cleaned, a brazier is burning in the corner, and a box lamp is lit on the table, illuminating the room brightly.
Ye Qingxiao sat on one of the chairs. At this moment, he had calmed down, his expression was serious, with an innate majesty on his body, as if he was not being restrained, but a guest.
When Ye Qingxiao picked up the teapot on the table, Chu Aohan quickly walked over and held Ye Qingxiao's hand: "Don't drink the water here, be careful."
Ye Qingxiao raised her eyebrows, if the water was poisonous, Mo Yichen and his party were most likely to poison it.If he drinks first, Chu Aohan will easily let go of his guard.But this man's city is very deep, first he sent people to sweep the road ahead, and the meals along the way never passed through the hands of strangers, making it impossible for people to start.
Chu Aohan handed him a water bag and said with a smile, "Drink it quickly!"
Ye Qingxiao took the water bag, took a few sips, and then put the water bag back on the table.Not long after, another guard came in with a plate of roasted wild boar meat, and the strong smell of meat permeated the room, whetting one's appetite.The guard cut the wild pork into small pieces, put down two pairs of bamboo chopsticks, and retreated respectfully.
Chu Aohan stuffed a pair of bamboo chopsticks into Ye Qingxiao's hands, and said: "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." After finishing speaking, he picked up another pair of bamboo chopsticks and started eating.Ye Qingxiao knew that the most important thing at this moment was to maintain physical strength, so naturally he would not be polite. Although it was inconvenient for his hands to be bound by silk, he still readily put a piece of pork into his mouth. The pork was cooked just right, tender and juicy, very It was delicious, Ye Qingxiao picked up a few more pieces, and was soon half full.
Chu Aohan suddenly stopped the bamboo chopsticks, glanced at Ye Qingxiao, and said, "When I changed your bloody clothes for you the night before yesterday, I found many scars on your body. Ye Chenxi did it, right?"
Ye Qingxiao shook the hand holding the bamboo chopsticks lightly, but he soon came back to his senses, and said indifferently: "That's a family matter between me and him."
"You made a cruel move on him two years ago, no wonder he wants to hate you." After a pause, Chu Aohan continued: "If my imperial brother is still alive, he should hate me like this too, right?"
Although he said this, there was no sadness in his tone.Wuqing is the emperor's family the most. He and Chu Aoqin have been fighting for half their lives. Even if he doesn't fight, Chu Aoqin can't tolerate him, and the two of them will not rest until they die.
In this respect, Ye Qingxiao and Ye Chenxi are surprisingly similar to them, and it is precisely because of this that Chu Aohan saved Ye Chenxi.The more intense the fight between their brothers, the more beneficial it will be for Chu Aohan.
"What's the use of talking about it now? Sitting on that dragon chair is destined to be extremely cold." Ye Qingxiao put down the bamboo chopsticks, stood up, looked around the whole room, and asked: "I want to sleep where?"
Chu Aohan pointed at the only bamboo couch in the house with a finger: "I have always respected you, so naturally I can't bear to treat you harshly, you can sleep on the couch!"
Although Chu Aohan killed his brother to seize the throne, he respected heroes the most in his life. When he was forced into the palace, Chu Aoqin drew his sword and killed himself in front of his eyes. One of his subordinates asked whether he should cut off Chu Aoqin's head to relieve the soldiers. But refused.Although he had fought with Chu Aoqin for half his life, he still respected Chu Aoqin's character, so he left Chu Aoqin's body and buried him generously.
After Chu Aoqin passed away, he regarded Ye Qingxiao as his biggest opponent. He was wary of Ye Qingxiao, but also respected Ye Qingxiao. The happiest moment in his life was when he and Ye Qingxiao talked about wine. For some time, although that time can no longer be returned, he is still willing to treat Ye Qingxiao with courtesy.
Ye Qingxiao glanced at the bamboo couch, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about you?"
Chu Aohan replied without hesitation: "Of course I also sleep on the couch, do you think I will wrong myself to sleep on the cold floor?"
Of course Ye Qingxiao doesn't expect him to sleep on the floor, but there are several houses here, he can choose one to sleep in.However, with Chu Aohan's prudence, it is estimated that he will not let him out of sight until he arrives in Taijing.
After thinking about it in my heart, I finally decided to ignore such trivial matters.He walked to the couch and lay down with all his clothes on, even refusing to untie his hair.
Chu Aohan sat at the table and read a book for a while, until he turned off the box light when he was ugly, he walked slowly to the edge of the couch to take off his clothes, then lay down on the couch, covered with a silk quilt.Ye Qingxiao lay with her back to him, motionless, breathing evenly, wondering if she fell asleep.
Chu Aohan was already tired, he turned sideways to face Ye Qingxiao, closed his eyes, and soon let out even breaths.
14. Life is hard to hate
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qingxiao turned around slowly, and quietly looked at Chu Aohan's sleeping face in the dark night.At that moment, he almost had an urge to strangle Chu Aohan's neck with the special silk that bound his hands until he stopped breathing.
However, in a flash of his mind, he dismissed this idea, not to mention whether he can escape successfully after killing Chu Aohan, the most important thing is that he does not believe that the scheming Chu Aohan dares to sleep soundly beside him, just like him It's like not daring to sleep soundly beside Chu Aohan.
After a while, those originally closed star eyes slowly opened, entangled with Ye Qingxiao's eyes in the dark night.
"Did you ever think about killing me just now?" Chu Aohan's voice sounded like a night whisper of a ghost, falling into Ye Qingxiao's ears very clearly in the still night.
Ye Qingxiao was shocked when she heard the words, but on the surface she remained indifferent: "I know I can't kill you, so why bother myself?"
"That's right, although Ye Qingxiao in my impression is courageous, he is decisive. Every advance and retreat has been carefully calculated, and there are almost no accidents. However, why are you willing to take the risk this time to worship?" Shengjia tribe? Do you have a reason to take risks?" Although Chu Aohan's tone was soft, his eyes were piercing, as if he wanted to look into the depths of Ye Qingxiao's soul.
Ye Qingxiao's heart tightened, and the hand hidden under the brocade quilt trembled almost invisibly.The death of the Shengjia clan has been hidden in his heart for many years. Although he has never repented, he has always felt guilty.Therefore, knowing that this trip may be dangerous, he still took the risk.He knew that there was nothing he could do to make up for it, but he just wanted to do his best.
His thoughts drifted away for only a moment, and he quickly came back to his senses, saying: "I just want to do my part for Yichen's people."
Chu Aohan glanced at Ye Qingxiao meaningfully: "You treat Mo Yichen with deep affection." After a pause, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pressed towards Ye Qingxiao: "But I'm very curious. Your father clearly intends to recruit the Shengjia clan, why did he suddenly go back on his word?"
Ye Qingxiao knew that Chu Aohan was trying to test him, he looked back at Chu Aohan, his eyes were not happy: "The Shengjia clan has surrendered four times and rebelled four times, disturbing your country for more than 100 years, don't you still understand Father's thoughts? "
Chu Aohan chuckled lightly and said: "There is such a powerful and ambitious group beside the couch, it really makes people sleepless, and I would choose this once-and-for-all method. Your father is thinking about his death , he is afraid that in the future, Dongyue Kingdom will repeat the mistakes of our country in the past, neither can control the Shengjia tribe, but can't abandon it."
After finishing speaking, a startled shout sounded from outside the room: "Who is it!"
As soon as the words fell, there was another sound of sword clashing, Chu Aohan and Ye Qingxiao were startled at the same time, they looked at each other with different thoughts.
If people came only to assassinate Chu Aohan, Chu Aohan would naturally do his best to protect Ye Qingxiao, but if those people came to save Ye Qingxiao, then they would become enemies in the next moment, so the relationship between them The atmosphere became delicate and awkward.
The fighting outside became more and more chaotic, and the atmosphere between them became more and more tense.These days, in order to prevent Ye Qingxiao from snatching his weapon when he was not prepared, Chu Aohan only carried a dagger with him. At this moment, he had already held the dagger in his hand, ready to put it on Ye Qingxiao's neck at any time.
And Ye Qingxiao has also secretly accumulated strength, ready to break away from Chu Aohan's control at any time.The two listened to the clanging of swords and swords outside, and had to be on guard against each other, and they felt tired within a short while.
With a loud noise, the door was kicked open, and the whole house shook. A man in black rushed in, glanced at the couch, and swung his sword.
Although Ye Qingxiao's hands and feet were bound, she still quickly turned to the right, and ran out of the room past the man in black.Chu Aohan's eyes flickered, he sideways dodged the man in black's attack, grabbed his hand when his sword was too late to close, slashed with his right palm, grabbed his sword while he was in pain, and swung his backhand The sword brushed against his neck.
Chu Aohan jumped over the fallen man in black and quickly chased him out.Because Ye Qingxiao's feet were bound, he didn't run fast. When he ran out of the door, Chu Aohan had already chased after him. He was so anxious that he exaggerated too much in the next step, but was blocked by silk, and fell to the ground On the ground, there was a burst of dizziness.
From the moment Ye Qingxiao ran out of the room, there was a man in black who gave up fighting and ran towards him. Although the man changed his face and covered his face with a black scarf, Ye Qingxiao knew when he met the man's eyes who is he.This gaze has followed him for more than 20 years. Even if he deliberately forbears in front of others, he can still feel the ardent affection in the gaze.Even though he had pretended not to care for years, he never dared to forget.
Why did this Ye Chenxi, who was bound to win his throne and who hated him deeply, not rush back to the capital to take the throne after hearing the news that he had been captured, but took the risk to save him instead?
In a daze, he seemed to see Ye Chenxi who was desperate to save him when the cave collapsed back then.Although he is in danger now, his heart is like a warm spring.
At this time Chu Aohan was the closest to Ye Qingxiao, he snorted coldly, and was about to reach out to grab Ye Qingxiao, when he stretched halfway, he suddenly heard the sound of piercing the sky, he looked up and found a feathered arrow pointing directly at it His face flew towards him, and he swung his sword to chop off the feather arrow, but the thousand-level force still made him feel numb.
Before Chu Aohan could catch his breath, another feathered arrow flew towards him, his black eyes narrowed, and he casually pulled Ye Qingxiao who was on the ground to block him in front of him, his eyes were full of warning.
Ye Qingxiao was caught suddenly, and before she could recover, she heard a cold howling piercing through the air and a few exclamations, while Ye Chenxi, who was rushing towards him, was shocked all over, her pupils suddenly froze. shrink.
When Ye Qingxiao found out that Sen Leng's arrow was flying towards him, he couldn't make a strong resistance at all, he could only wait for the sharp pain to strike.When the feather arrow was about to hit his shoulder, a long sword suddenly lay across in front of his body, with a bang sound, the momentum of the arrow feather hit Ye Qingxiao's heart numbly, but it didn't really hurt him.
