You worship me, I will soar

I don't know how long the carriage had been going, when there was a sudden noise outside, Ye Xixi was overjoyed, thinking that it was Ye Wangxi who regretted looking for her, and immediately opened the curtain with a smile on her face.

In an instant, a gleaming long knife rested on his neck, and it felt cold to the touch, sending chills down the spine.

"Please, old general and Marquis Yongle, come with me."

Ye Xixi and the old general looked at each other, the soldiers Ye Wangxi sent to see them off were all subdued, the old general had no weapons in his hands, and the opponent had a large number of people, so the two had no choice but to capture them without a fight, and were taken all the way to a room , and then the door was locked.

Ye Xixi was so anxious that she kept banging on the door, shouting, "Let us out!"

The old general said in a deep voice: "Don't waste your energy, it's useless."

Ye Xixi was so anxious that she spun around in circles, biting her fingers uneasily, and murmured: "Who the hell caught us? Ye Wangxi must be very worried now..."

The old general looked like a torch, and said in a low voice: "It's the emperor."

Ye Xixi was taken aback, then raised her head abruptly: "Your Majesty?"

The old general nodded.

"It was the leader of the Imperial Guard who arrested us just now."

In an instant, Ye Xixi felt cold all over his body.

"The emperor knows? Isn't Ye Wangxi very dangerous!"

He slammed on the door and window harder, his eyes were reddened.

"No! I want to go out and inform him!"

At this time, there was a sound at the door, and the lock was unlocked, and it was Zhu Haitang who came.

As soon as she entered the door, she said anxiously: "The prince noticed that the imperial guards had arrested you, so he asked me to sneak over and ask what happened?"

Here is Ye Wangxi, Xu Ling urgently reported that his subordinates said that an assassin was encountered on the way to send him off, and the old general and Ye Xixi were taken away.

Ye Wangxi's face was instantly covered with frost.

Xu Lingdao: "It's because the subordinates are not doing well."

Ye Wangxi clenched her fists and closed her eyes, "Get up."

Xu Ling stood up guiltily, he knew how important Ye Xixi was to Ye Wangxi, and now he lost her.

"Who is going to arrest the old general and the young master?"

Ye Wangxi pondered for a moment, his eyes sank, and said: "It should be the emperor."

Xu Ling was startled, and asked, "How does the emperor know?"

Ye Wangxi's eyes were dark and she didn't speak.

Sure enough, soon the emperor issued an order to invite Ye Wangxi to meet in the palace, saying that the old general and Ye Xixi were already waiting in the palace.

Ye Wangxi pinched the imperial decree and sneered.

Xu Ling said anxiously: "General, you can't go!"

Ye Wangxi's expression was indifferent, but his attitude was extremely firm. His eyes were sharp and he said: "I have to go."

Xu Ling wanted to persuade him again.

Ye Wangxi waved his hand to signal Xu Ling not to say any more, his eyes flashed a look of anger, and he ordered: "You lead the soldiers and wait outside the palace. If I haven't come out after an hour, lead the soldiers to attack."

After returning from the border, the emperor has been seriously ill, and the soldier amulet has always been in Ye Wangxi's hands.

Xu Ling opened his mouth, met Ye Wangxi's eyes, and could only lower his head and say, "I obey."

After Ye Wangxi entered the palace, he was escorted all the way to the imperial couch by the imperial guards.

The emperor was already haggard from the pain, he was lying on the bed and coughing continuously, when he saw Ye Wangxi, he waved his thin hand like a dead branch, telling everyone in the room to get out.

"So you're still alive."

The emperor seemed to want to look more imposing, and tried his best to get up, but he was lingering in the sick bed for days, and he didn't even have the strength to sit up, and he couldn't sit up even after working hard for a long time.

Ye Wangxi stood under the couch and watched coldly.

After all, the emperor had no strength and fell back on the bed. He took a few breaths, lay down as if giving up and no longer struggled, raised his dim eyes to look at Ye Wangxi, looked at him carefully for a while, and seemed to see through the He was looking at others, and he sighed after a long while: "I'm confused, you and the emperor's wife look so similar, I never doubted it."

Ye Wangxi said calmly: "After all the tricks have been calculated, there will always be times when the calculations are missed."

"I always thought the old general was timid and superstitious, but I never thought he would dare to keep you."

The emperor smiled, couldn't help coughing twice, and finally stopped coughing before continuing: "I hugged you when you were young, on your first birthday, father and emperor hosted a banquet for all the officials, and the palace was very lively at that time. "

The emperor didn't know what he thought of, his smile stopped, and he said quietly: "The prince is only two months older than you, but on his birthday, the father only sent someone to reward him with a longevity lock. It's his grandson. Why is there such a big difference? Isn't it because I'm not favored? Brother Huang has been capable of both literature and martial arts since he was a child, and is loved by others, but I'm like his shadow. As long as he's around, no one will pay attention to me , so I am not reconciled..."

As he spoke, his eyes became clearer and his voice became louder, just like the light returning to the light.

Ye Wangxi continued for him with a blank face: "You are not reconciled, so taking advantage of the fact that the emperor's grandfather is seriously ill and Prince Chongming is far away at the border to control the court and frame Zhongliang, maybe you have been waiting for this day for a long time. So you bribed the courtiers, the Crown Prince Chongming is a frank man, he doesn't know how to make friends in private, so you have already plotted against him."

The emperor laughed. He was already sick and ugly, and the corners of his mouth seemed a little weird. He neither admitted nor denied, but asked: "Do you hate me?"

Ye Wangxi looked at him with undisguised sharp eyes, and the pupils seemed to be burning with angry flames.

The emperor murmured, seemingly lost in memory, and said: "Brother Huang is generous and merciful, after all you are different from him."

Ye Wangxi sneered, and said mockingly: "He is generous and kind, that's why you plot against him. Of course I can't be like him."

"It doesn't matter if you hate me, I'm about to die, and when I get to the ground, I will apologize to Brother Huang."

Ye Wangxi didn't answer, waiting for his next words.

Sure enough, the emperor changed the subject: "But I can't keep you, the prince is cowardly, and the country I finally won can't be snatched back in his hands."

Ye Wangxi sneered, "Then what do you want?"

The emperor struggled to prop up his body, and pulled out a dagger from under the pillow tremblingly, "You kill yourself, anyway, I owe the emperor's brother, and I don't want to miss your life, I will stay with the emperor's brother Make amends."

"What if I don't?"

"If you don't go down to accompany me, I can only let the Ye family's father and son accompany me."

Ye Wangxi took the dagger and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you right here?"

The emperor coughed twice, and actually coughed up a mouthful of blood. He wiped it with a handkerchief, without looking at it, and casually threw the handkerchief aside.

It seemed that he was really going to die, Ye Wangxi sneered, the enemy who killed his parents was already dying before he could do anything.

"Anyway, I won't live long, but once I die, neither of them can live."

Ye Wangxi touched the blade of the sword, looking ruthless and decisive, and said slowly with a sullen face: "The old general killed my biological father, why do you think I will save him?"

The emperor smiled, "Because you are the son of the emperor's brother. Although you are colder than him by nature, his blood is shed on your body after all. The emperor is a man of true temperament. He has never been afraid of the people he cares about." Life and death, the old general is kind to you in nurturing you, and you will not refuse to save yourself."

Ye Wangxi pursed his lips, showing a half-smile.

"You know Prince Chongming well."

Naturally, he could risk his life for the sake of the old general and Ye Xixi, but even if he died, the emperor would not even want to rest in peace, let alone he would not die.

"I want to see that Xi'er and the old general are safe and sound."

"it is good."

The emperor called someone to bring the old general and Ye Xixi up.

Unexpectedly, the prince who came together.

The emperor saw the prince frowned. He didn't want his son to know what he did back then.

"How did you come?"

The prince cupped his hands and said, "Father, I know everything."

The emperor's dim eyes rolled slightly, and said: "In this case, you should stay here, just in time to learn how to be an emperor."

"Yes……"

Ye Xixi wanted to run over as soon as she saw Ye Wangxi, but was stopped by the leader of the forbidden army.

The emperor turned his head to look at Ye Wangxi, and said quietly: "Do it."

Only then did Ye Xixi see the dagger in Ye Wangxi's hand, a sharp pain suddenly appeared in his chest, his canthus was about to split, and he blurted out: "No!"

The old general, a loyal minister, was also in a hurry, and scolded without hesitation: "You stupid king! I have endured you for many years. Back then you framed Prince Chongming, and now you want to kill my son. I will fight with you!"

The emperor ignored them, just stared at Ye Wangxi, and said: "You still don't do it? Believe it or not, I will kill them now?"

He pointed at the old general and Ye Xixi with trembling fingers, seeing that the old general was angry again, as if he continued to scold regardless.

The prince stopped the excited old general, cupped his hands at the emperor and said, "Father, I will not let you kill the old general and Xi'er."
