Main Hall of General Jiaguan Mansion

"Your Highness, my subordinates have made arrangements for the new defense deployment."

"Okay, got it."

"Your Highness, Muchun found out about Xue Yi. Sixteen years ago, Xue Yi was escorting an escort and encountered bandits. He was the only one left alive among all the escorts. He disappeared for a while and then entered the military camp."

"Missing? Can the identity of the woman who met Xue Yi two days ago be found?"

Ye Huaijue made people stare at Xue Yi and found out someone suspicious. Xue Yi had not renewed his relationship since his wife died eight years ago.

It was said that he had a deep relationship with his wife and did not want to marry again, but a few days ago they found out that Xue Yi had a private meeting with a noble lady in a villa.

"Your Highness, the servants of the other village are either deaf or mute. We haven't found out the identity of the noble lady yet."

"Quite cautious." Ye Huaijue sneered.

"Your Highness, the identity of that lady is indeed a bit strange. Although we have not yet found out her background, I am sure that the lady is from Nanyin."

"I know." Ye Huaijue said after thinking for a moment, "Xue Yi's recent behavior has become more and more suspicious, continue to monitor him."

"Yes, Your Highness." Mu Bai walked out.

"Your Highness." A nun stood outside the door asking to see him.

"Come in."

"Your Highness, Miss Duan wants to see you."

Mammy lowered her head and reported. She didn't know where the third prince found a girl with such a bad temper that she broke things for several days.

"I understand, Your Highness will be there in a moment."

Ye Huaijue looked at the scratches on the back of his hands and chuckled, then stood up and went to Lishui Pavilion. He locked the person in the room and Duan Qingyi scratched him.

"You shouldn't reach out to scratch people again, right?"

"Your Highness." The guard guarding the door saluted.

"You guys go down first." Ye Huaijue pushed the door open and went in. A vase flew towards him, and Ye Huaijue reached out to catch it.

"Qingyi, your temper is getting more and more irritable."

"How long are you going to lock me up?"

"If you don't secretly send a message to your subordinates to take you away, you can wander around the general's mansion as you please. You can go out if you want."

That's right, Duan Qingyi contacted someone to take her out of the general's mansion, but Ye Huaijue found out and locked her in a room.

"I don't want to be here."

"Qingyi, we agreed to find out what happened back then."

"You can check if you want. I never said I wanted to stay here."

"But I don't want you to leave." He knew very well that once she left, it would be inconvenient to see her.

"Ye Huai Jue, no matter what the truth was back then, it is a fact that you Tianqi did not send troops. I can stop assassinating Emperor Ping Zhao. Please tell me where Qing Heng is."

"Yes, Tianqi didn't send troops back then, but what about now? What about in the future? It's impossible for you to regain the throne without revenge."

"You mean you want to send troops to help me regain the throne?"

"Yes, Tianqi has a treaty with your Nanyin royal family. Things that were not completed back then can still be done now."

"No need." Duan Qingyi turned her face away.

"Qingyi, Nanyin's current backer is Lingyue Kingdom. You and King Jing alone cannot regain the throne."

"Even so, I don't need your help."

"Qingyi, there was something really fishy about what happened back then. Why don't you believe that I can help you?"

"Because I watched my father die in front of my eyes, Ye Huaijue. At that time, I understood that it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself."

"Even if you don't believe me, don't you?" Ye Huaijue stepped forward and hugged her waist, looking at her distressedly.

"Let me go." Duan Qingyi couldn't let go of him.

"Qingyi, it's too hard for you alone, trust me, okay?"

Duan Qingyi's face softened when she heard this. Since the palace coup, she had escaped and stayed anonymous with the emperor's uncle.

She had to find her brother and learn how to recruit troops. She never dared to say she was tired, for fear that once she relaxed, she would not be able to kill her enemy with her own hands.

"Ye Huaijue, why are you Tianqi's prince?"

"Qingyi, no matter who I am, I will never watch you take revenge alone.

I know that you are still worried about what happened back then. I have found some clues. You are waiting. How about you take revenge yourself when the time comes? "

Duan Qingyi said nothing, and Ye Huaijue knew that her attachment to the Tianqi royal family was too deep to be untied.

"Qingheng grew up in the palace and learned many skills."

"Qing Heng grew up in the palace? Have I...have I seen him?"

She has met several Prince Tianqi, but has her brother also met?

"I should have seen it before."

"I've met Qing Heng, who is he? Why can't I recognize him?"

Duan Qingyi thought about the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy he had met during this period.

"Qingyi, you resent the Tianqi royal family in your heart, but Qingheng was picked up and raised by the royal family. How about you stay here? Let's find out the truth together. Then I will take you to see Qingheng."

"……it is good."

When Qing Heng was still young and had a fever, he might not recognize her, but she could wait for her brother.

Seeing Duan Qingyi softening, Ye Huaijue was in a good mood.

"Qingyi, let's go have a meal first, and I'll take you out for a walk later." Ye Huaijue led her out.

Suburban villa

Nangong Ying lay on Xue Yi's chest.

"Ayi, I really want to grow old with you."

"Princess, you don't miss your late husband anymore." Although Xue Yi smiled, it didn't reach his eyes.

"Ayi, after you left that year, I realized that I liked you, but I couldn't find you because of my parents' orders."

Xue Yi sighed: "I know you are lying, you don't have to say these things against your will."

"We both have daughters, how could I lie to you?"

"Jiaojiao still doesn't recognize me as her father."

"Jiaojiao is spoiled by me, and she is a princess, so she is a bit squeamish. She admires the general the most. As long as you become the general, she will run in front of you every day."

"Really?" Xue Yi felt bitter in his heart.

Xue Yi knew in his heart that Nangong Ying was coaxing him. When he was an escort, the escort encountered bandits and the other escorts died. He escaped and was rescued by Nangong Ying. He fell in love with the girl in front of him at first sight.

Nangong Ying was also interested in him. At that time, he thought she liked him. He worked as a guard at Nangong's house for a while, and the two became a couple.

Later I found out that Nangong Ying was just taking revenge on her fiancé because her fiancé had someone else. In the end, she got married and he left to serve as a soldier in the military camp.

He was already a deputy general eleven years ago, and later met Nangong Ying again. Nangong Ying told him that Nangong Jiao was his daughter. Nangong Jiao did look a bit like him, and they were involved again from then on.

"Aying, I know you are using me to achieve your goals, and it's my fault that I am still tied to you two mother and daughter.

It doesn't matter whether Jiaojiao recognizes me or not. It would be good if she could offer me some incense during the Qingming Festival. "

If he was not the deputy general, Nangong Ying would definitely not look for him, Xue Yi knew it in his heart.

"Ayi, what are you talking about?" Nangong Ying looked at him in astonishment.

"Ah Ying, let's not see each other again after today." Xue Yi looked at her deeply and pushed her away.

"Ayi, what's wrong with you today? Why are you acting weird?"

Nangong Ying suddenly felt a little panicked. She had always known that Xue Yi loved her deeply over the years.

Yes, she had been using him, and he was willing to do so. But when he pushed her away today, she couldn't adapt and started to panic.

"Go back." The third prince had already suspected him, and he didn't have much time left.

Xue Yi's parents gave him the name "righteousness" because they wanted him to be a kind and righteous person. However, after meeting Nangong Ying, the name "righteousness" disappeared and he could not look back.
