The wedding dress wraps the sword, Bo Jun smiles

"I didn't know that the head of the Imperial Guard had colluded with them before. It was only after I found out that Lin Hu had arbitrarily shifted the schedule of the Imperial Guard several times to make it easier for the third princess to meet the eunuch who had been bribed, I realized something was wrong."

Ye Xingguan asked: "Prince Ding—"...Could it be that King Qin really came to rescue him?

Ye Qingming said: "I've been paying close attention to it these years. King Ding has no chance to train his subordinates, let alone private soldiers. But in case something happens to me, apart from the fact that I don't know whether it's a man or a woman in Zhang Cong's stomach, I can give birth to it." The child who won't come out, he is the most legitimate heir to the throne—isn't that enough for him to sit still?"

Ye Xingguan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Why did the three princesses do this?" The child in Concubine Zhang's stomach is a princess or a prince, and it is not certain whether it will be born safely. It would be too much for the three princesses to do it now. Too impulsive.

"Because if they don't do anything else, they will have no chance." Ye Qingming said lightly, "I dismissed Lin Hu. He tried to murder me before he was dismissed. The third princess was probably forced to cooperate. But anyway, once it starts , they will no longer have a way out.”

And what Ye Qingming didn't say was that if something happened to him, the third princess would definitely guarantee that the child would be born, and the child born would be a "boy" no matter what.

Ye Xingguan nodded, expressing his understanding of this part: "In this case, why are you here?"

If everything was as expected, Ye Qingming should not be here at this time.

"Central Beijing is not safe." Ye Qingming replied, "Linhu has cultivated some of his cronies during the past few years in the Imperial Guard. It is impossible for me to dismiss all the middle-level generals for no reason, and he made trouble too quickly. I also failed to seize this opportunity and get the list of generals under his orders, so I had to avoid it first."

The emperor can understand Ye Xingguan when he says this.Then he asked, "Then what are you going to do next? It's impossible to keep besieging the city like this, right?"

Ye Qingming said: "Of course it's impossible. I arranged for some people to clean up the people from Linhu, one of the imperial guards, in the city during the siege. After all the cleaning is completed, the other party will naturally send a signal to open the city gate. It’s time for me to enter the city again. By the way, Bering Mountain is now serving as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and he is mine.”

Bai Lingshan is Bai Shuwen's father, he just came back from Shanhaiguan, and he is going to reward him for his meritorious deeds.

Ye Xingguan said: "...Even so, why did 'King Ding' lead the army to besiege the capital?"

Ye Qingming replied: "When the three princesses sealed off the capital, I wanted to transfer the Gyeonggi Army into the capital to control the situation, but unexpectedly, King Ding also sent someone to ask Zhang Hui to obey his command and send troops into the capital in the name of King Qin's rescue. I took advantage of the situation and hid in the Gyeonggi Army."

"Then do you know," Ye Xingguan asked, "the Jurchens have already started to attack Shanhaiguan?"

Ye Qingming said: "I know... don't worry, this is only a few days away. We will guarantee the supply of Guancheng no matter what."

Having said so much, Ye Xingguan felt at ease.Ye Qingming always knew what to do, he said don't worry, then there must be proper arrangements.

Ye Xingguan hesitated for a moment, originally wanted to ask about Ye Changning, but considering that it was not suitable to discuss this issue at this time, he decided to put the matter on hold for the time being, and wait until the turmoil passed.

He asked: "Since you have already made arrangements, I will not ask more. Tell me what I can do."

Ye Qingming replied: "I don't need anything, I can handle it. All we need to do next is wait."

Ye Xingguan nodded, then turned around and planned to leave the camp.

But Ye Qingming stopped him: "Where are you going?"

Ye Xingguan said, "Look for Jianqing."

Ye Qingming heard what he said, and ordered: "Don't go!"

Ye Xingguan looked back at him and said, "You want to order me?"

The emperor was sad in his heart, but immediately softened his tone and said: "Now the camp is in turmoil. Everyone knows that King Ding was assassinated in the camp of the Gyeonggi Army. You are a new face. It is easy to attract attention when you go out now. Once you are interrogated, You Jianqing's previous action of deliberately killing him will be in vain."

After hearing this, Ye Xingguan was silent for a while, reluctantly accepted the statement, and said, "Even if I don't go out, I will be discovered soon if I stay here."

Seeing that he accepted this explanation, Ye Qingming breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "They won't pay attention to this matter soon." Then he suddenly asked, "You and You Jianqing's wedding...how did it happen?" thing?"

Ye Xingguan said: "...Xiyue didn't want to marry me, so my uncle married Jianqing."

Ye Qingming sneered, "Do I look like a fool?"

However, Ye Xingguan showed an impatient look, and lost his temper at the emperor: "You control me!? Control the sky and the earth, and you can control who I marry!?"

Ye Qingming said angrily: "You Jianqing is a man!"

Ye Xingguan said: "I know he is a man. I just like men!?"

The emperor didn't expect Ye Xingguan to say such a sentence, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

He asked, "Do you like men?"

Ye Xingguan replied: "I like Jianqing."

Ye Qingming felt that this conversation was extremely absurd, he never expected to hear such a sentence from Ye Xingguan.It should be said that he never thought that this sentence would come out of Ye Xingguan's mouth under such circumstances.

"And..." Ye Xingguan suddenly looked at the emperor with piercing eyes, and said, "If the Ye family has no heirs, it will be a reassuring thing for His Majesty, right?"

Ye Qingming looked at Ye Xingguan in astonishment, and read some deep meaning from his eyes that he didn't expect.

Ye Qingming suddenly sat up straight from the armchair, and asked in a stern tone: "What do you mean!?"

Ye Xingguan replied calmly, "It's literally."

Ye Qingming said: "Officer Xing, I think there may be some misunderstanding between us. Did you hear any rumors from someone?"

"Is it really a rumor?" Ye Xingguan sneered, "Your Majesty, up to now, Ye Xingguan has never lied to you about anything, nor asked any questions that I shouldn't ask. But today, I want to ask a question that should be asked—”

Ye Qingming has experienced many storms, and he is rarely moved by anything, but when Ye Xingguan asked this question with a cold face, his face obviously began to turn pale.

As a result, Ye Xingguan's words came to his lips, but he swallowed them himself, and said, "...Forget it, I will ask you about this later."

Ye Xingguan didn't want to draw his sword at him at this time.

Ye Qingming breathed a sigh of relief.This time when Ye Xingguan turned to leave the tent, he did not continue to stop him.

Ye Xingguan's back disappeared behind the tent, the emperor heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little sad.

He still hasn't changed.

He is so honest and unobtrusive, even in the face of imperial power, he has no fear, and only does what he wants to do, is willing to do, and thinks he should do.In the vicissitudes of life, no matter how many things are overturned, Ye Xingguan will not lose his heart because of it.

Just like back then, above the Golden Palace, he could obviously avoid the change of that level of status more tactfully, but Ye Xingguan would never do that anyway.

When everyone regarded Ye Qingming as a symbol of power, only Ye Xingguan always recognized him as Ye Qingming.Even though he began to call him Your Majesty, his words and deeds never changed.Everything Ye Xingguan did for him was just because he was himself, and now...even the last bit of outspoken emotion that is unique...the emperor knew that he might lose it soon.

It's just because of the inherent hostility and hatred between them.

But even so, Ye Qingming still wanted to struggle desperately.

He wasn't worried that Ye Xingguan would want to use Hongye Villa's influence against him - this was what made Ye Xingguan very different from others.He never puts his subordinates in danger or suffers losses for some self-interest or personal wishes, so if Ye Xingguan dislikes a person, he will at most cut off ties with him and avoid seeing him.

In fact, this was already an extremely severe punishment for Ye Qingming.

Even for the emperor, it would be difficult to have a crueler punishment than this—after Ye Xingguan left, he pondered for a long time, then called a young general and explained a few words.

After Ye Xingguan left the tent, he turned his head to ask Chen Hui for the token and password, and then left the middle camp in a fair manner.

When he was leaving, he happened to run into You Jianqing who was still wandering around outside. After the two met, You Jianqing was obviously very shocked and said, "I thought he would keep you?"

Ye Xingguan said: "Since I already know that His Majesty is fine, I naturally have no reason to stay."

You Jianqing asked: "Then where shall we go next?"

"Let's go to a nearby county to find an inn to rest. I still have to ask him about my father's affairs, but it's not suitable now." Ye Xingguan said so, and suddenly turned to You Jianqing, "Jianqing, what are you doing?" Do you want to go out to sea for fun?"

You Jianqing didn't know the reason why he suddenly mentioned this, but he still replied: "In the past few years, there have been a lot of news from overseas, and there are some legends about some things on the other side of the sea, such as the river bed covered with precious stones, built on the water surface It is a lie to say that you are not interested."

Ye Xingguan said: "Since that's the case, when this matter is over, I'll take you overseas to have fun."

But You Jianqing was not deceived by his light tone, pressed his shoulder and asked seriously: "Officer Xing, what happened?"
