Empress Dowager Shu came from a famous family, and her identity is not difficult to find out. The tragedy of the whole family of the Bai family was copied and beheaded was also recorded in the file. However, according to the records, only Queen Mother Shu was left. However, Yu Wenzhe is the only one who is related to Empress Dowager Shu.

Ye Donglan couldn't figure it out. Since Yu Wenzhe was the only family member left, why didn't Empress Dowager Shu tell Yu Wenzhe directly, instead she just hinted quietly, as if she couldn't decide which side to stand on? The person who put Yu Wenzhe in danger by coercion.

"Check again, we must have missed something."

Song Ling took the order to retreat, and Ye Donglan returned to Yu Wenzhe's side. Yu Wenzhe didn't raise his head, but gradually tightened his hand holding the scroll, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Ye Donglan's footsteps paused, "If your majesty wants to know something, I should tell you the truth."

"Then why did you imprison the Queen Mother?" Yu Wenzhe looked up at Ye Donglan who was getting closer and closer to him, and looked directly into his eyes. Yu Wenzhe's eyes were red, but Ye Donglan's eyes were not stained with any waves, "For Your Majesty .”

"You made the whole world think that you were plotting against me, that I was a puppet, and that it was because of me?"

"Naturally." Ye Donglan put his hand on Yu Wenzhe's shoulder, "Ye Donglan's life is for His Majesty."

Yu Wenzhe closed his eyes, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He and Ye Donglan have known each other in the past few years. He has experienced life and death together, fought side by side, and also experienced quarrels and suspicions. He once wanted to rely on Ye Donglan with peace of mind, and also once Doubting Ye Donglan's real motives, even though Jiang Shu said he could trust Ye Donglan, there were also people around him who told him to be wary of Ye Donglan.

For a long time, Ye Donglan's image in the court has always been opposed to Yu Wenzhe, just like Yu Wenzhe proposed to change the old system, and Ye Donglan was the first to object. Ye Donglan said that the reform of the old system touched the hearts of too many aristocratic families Interests will become the target of public criticism, but if he raises objections, other aristocratic families will not intervene with the mentality of watching two tigers fight.

On the surface, he demoted some officials and appointed new ones in order to weaken Ye Donglan's power in the court, but in fact he secretly cultivated his own power.

The result of these years is indeed the same, more and more people have become the loyal courtiers he single-handedly promoted, Liu Qi, Shen Yuzhou, Song Yingxing...

But the more this is the case, the more obvious the confrontation between him and Ye Donglan is. Most of the officials he promoted have prejudice against Ye Donglan, and Yu Wenzhe and Ye Donglan will not explain more to them. He clearly knew what Ye Donglan's actions were for, but in the eyes of others, it looked different.

They reminded Yu Wenzhe over and over again that he trusted Ye Donglan too much, and even indulged Ye Donglan, letting him touch the core of the government at will.

They told Yu Wenzhe that the power in Ye Donglan's hands was far from that simple. The officials who were deposed were on the surface of Ye Donglan's faction, but in fact they were not the core of Ye Donglan's power. After all, they were only between Yu Wenzhe and Ye Donglan He chose to stand on Ye Donglan's side in the battle, just because he, the new emperor, was not favored by others.

He didn't want to believe it, but he would be shaken by hearing too much. Even if Ye Donglan stood by his side forever, no emperor would like to be protected by one person forever and not touch the bloody wind of the court. It feels like when I wanted to climb a tree when I was a child, but my mother didn't even let him out of the door.

Too many people clearly know the danger, but they have to take a fall to know that they can't do it, not to mention that Yu Wenzhe is the master of the world, for the sake of the common people, the loneliness of the high position, behind the dragon chair, every stain on the jade seal A drop of blood, the ambition hidden under every kneeling figure, the suspicion and suspicion, and the loneliness of being alone, are all he should bear, and there is no need for others to do it for him.

"Ye Donglan, but can you really protect me under your wings forever?"

Yu Wenzhe's tone was calm, and he had already made it clear in his heart these days that what he needed was a companion, not a god-like blessing.
