The wedding dress wraps the sword, Bo Jun smiles

When Ye Xingguan left, it started to rain lightly outside the palace city.

You Jianqing took a seat by the window in the lobby on the second floor of the inn to drink. Unfortunately, perhaps because of worry, half a day passed and I didn't see him drink a glass of wine. He just kept staring at the downstairs. .

When he finally saw Ye Xingguan get off the carriage, You Jianqing stood up, threw down the money for the drink and followed.

After entering the room, he asked, "How is it?"

Ye Xingguan replied: "He said about his father, it has nothing to do with him."

You Jianqing looked embarrassed, and asked: "You just asked directly like that?"

Ye Xingguan said: "What if I don't ask directly? In the end, he has been playing the imperial game all these years, and he is a master of power and conspiracy. I am too stupid to compete with him on this."

If he said that, he was not wrong.

However, You Jianqing couldn't help asking: "How do you know that what he said is the truth?"

After hearing this, Ye Xingguan was silent for a while before speaking: "I know, what he said is not true. My father's death is indeed related to him."

You Jianqing was surprised.

Ye Xingguan added: "Even if some people lie flawlessly, there will always be close relatives who cannot hide it from them."

You Jianqing suddenly noticed that Ye Xingguan called himself Ye Qingming's "close relative".

To him, is Ye Qingming actually a close relative?

But no matter what, at this moment, You Jianqing saw a chilling indifference from Ye Xingguan's face.The indifference floated in the corner of the mouth and permeated in the eyes. In fact, it was not harsh, but it gave people a sense of vigilance like a bucket of ice water being poured on the head in the cold winter.

You Jianqing knew that for Ye Xingguan, some things had changed.

He asked: "...you didn't continue to ask?"

Ye Xingguan shook his head: "It's not necessary."

He already knew everything he wanted to know.

Ye Xingguan turned his head, and said to You Jianqing in a calm tone: "Uncle Hongyu is right, some things are meaningless if they are too clearly investigated."

"But—" You Jianqing couldn't accept such an explanation, it was revenge for killing his father.

Ye Xingguan said: "Jianqing, if you kill Ye Qingming, can you get my parents' lives back?"

You Jianqing choked suddenly.

Of course it can't.

Ye Xingguan lowered his eyelashes and said: "Right, even if you kill him, it won't help, and you can't call back the souls of your parents. On the contrary, if you kill Ye Qingming, it will only lead to another turmoil in the world——" That's why I can't really kill him."

Ye Xingguan yearns for a free life and doesn't want to be bound by rules, so he doesn't want to enter the court or become an official.And because of this, he is actually more aware than ordinary people that among the palace buildings, there are layers of cobwebs that bind those noble people; above the dignity and splendor, he is always ready to crush everyone who is a little bit loose. The invisible weight of fly ash.

Let him be honored and honored.Let him rule the world.If this is the world Ye Qingming pursued after abandoning everything he had, Ye Xingguan is willing to satisfy him.

Before he became ignorant and began to subvert the world for his own desires, Ye Xingguan was willing to spare his life and let him be a fairly wise king first.

After that, Ye Xingguan and You Jianqing returned to Hongye Villa.

When they returned to Hongye Villa, they happened to meet Bering Mountain sent someone to look for Bai Shuwen——Ye Xingguan frowned, obviously wondering why Bai Shuwen was in Hongye Villa instead of Nanzhou City.

But no matter what, Bai Shuwen is still You Xiyue's sweetheart.And in fact, Ye Xingguan thinks highly of him - although his physique is as weak as a scholar, Bai Shuwen is not really a useless person.Useful people are always worth looking up to.

Hmm... He didn't despise a certain little girl whose soul was separated from her body and who was inactive.

The reason why Bai Shuwen, a "dead man", was still found by Bering Mountain is naturally due to the emperor's eyeliner.Ye Xingguan even suspected that Bai Shuwen's whereabouts might not have escaped the control of the Privy Council from the beginning to the end.

In fact, Bai Shuwen was very surprised that Bai Lingshan came to him.As the eldest son of Bai, Bai Shuwen's relationship with his father is very ordinary, and it is not even as deep as his relationship with his stepmother on the surface.

This is not surprising.Bering Mountain has been stationed at the border all year round, and Bai Shuwen has never been weak, so it is unlikely that father and son will get along.

However, because of the unfamiliarity, Bai Shuwen had at least a basic respect for the other party, so when Bering Mountain sent people to look for him, Bai Shuwen actually showed some difficulty.

Because Ye Xingguan had an aversion to the emperor, he had the idea of ​​hindering the things the other party wanted to promote.But after thinking about it for a while, I realized that whether Bai Shuwen returned to Beijing or not, it had no effect on the emperor.He was able to grasp Bai Shuwen's whereabouts before, and he had already shown kindness to Bering Mountain.

So he gave up such a plan.

When You Xiyue found someone from the capital, she was extremely nervous at first.After she found out about this, she anxiously grabbed Bai Shuwen's sleeve and asked, "Are you going home?"

Bai Shuwen immediately comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave." He explained to You Xiyue in detail, "Although my father sent someone to look for me, if I go back, how will I face my stepmother? She has done so much, but in the final analysis, it is just to make her younger brother the son of the world. If I go back, I can't bear to kill her, and I can't be reconciled to letting her go like this. If I have to face each other day and night in the future, I will support her... I Can't do it."

You Xiyue listened for a while, but she understood a little bit.

But she didn't ask Bai Shuwen why he was unwilling but didn't want to take revenge.Even if she is as innocent and ignorant as she is, she has gradually realized that besides loving someone and hating someone, there is actually an intermediate option in this world.

This option is called "compromise".

There are so many things in this world that cannot be ended purely with love and hate, so they seem sticky and procrastinating.But it is because of this stickiness and procrastination that the more affectionate a person can be shown.

Being able to do but not doing it, being able to kill but not wanting to kill is where the true generosity and affection can be shown.

But after Bai Shuwen expressed his thoughts, Ye Xingguan pondered for a moment, and asked with a sneer, "The solution you call is to avoid it?"

Bai Shuwen immediately defended, "It's not—"

Ye Xingguan then asked: "How is that?"

Bai Shuwen paused for a moment, but restrained his anxiety and panic when he was accused, organized his thoughts a little bit, and then said: "I am not escaping. In fact, my father already knew the news that I escaped by feigning death, so My mother must have known that she had failed. In this case, she must be very unwilling, and she will definitely attack me again if she has the opportunity. "

"Father is a loyal and benevolent person. He treats soldiers like this, and treats his wife and children even more so. At most, he will confine his mother in the ancestral hall or abandon her. It is impossible to sue her in court or send her to prison. And in this case , mother will only become more unwilling to reconcile."

"Only if I give up the position of the birth son, Xiyue and I will not be disturbed from now on." He concluded in this way, "Besides, I don't want Xiyue to be subject to that kind of restraint in Beijing. She won't adapt, and I can't bear it." .”

"Of course," Bai Shuwen changed his tone, and said suddenly, "I won't help her hide the truth. If my father wants to know, I will tell him everything she did. Maybe this way, she won't Feel free to come find trouble with me."

As far as this aspect is concerned, Bai Shuwen is quite thoughtful.

In the end, Ye Xingguan was about to open his mouth when he heard Bai Shuwen say another sentence: "...you must let her know that I gave up this position, not that she really played tricks to win me, so that she can know Great, know how to restrain yourself."

Ye Xingguan sneered and said, "Even if you know you let her go, wouldn't she feel that you let her go because you were afraid of her?"

Bai Shuwen was taken aback, but fell into deep thought because of this.

Ye Xingguan said again: "If you want me to tell you, you can go back to Beijing with your father. After returning to Beijing, you have to teach her a lesson yourself, and that's how you let her know. Even if you don't want to kill her, you still have to let her go." She took a step back after suffering a bit. As for the title... You can decide on this matter yourself, but I will tell you a word: give up things that are not important to you, that is disdain; give up things that are important, That is cowardly."

Bai Shuwen said: "I really don't care about such a title... I think I can live well even if I don't rely on such a title."

"But your stepmother may not think so." Ye Xingguan said.

Bai Shuwen was silent for a while, and finally decided to go back to Beijing.

You Xiyue felt very at a loss for this, You Jianqing wanted her to stay and wait, but Ye Xingguan ordered: "You go with him!"

You Xiyue was at a loss, Bai Shuwen and You Jianqing expressed their disapproval, but Ye Xingguan left You Xiyue alone, and asked her solemnly: "Do you still remember that after you were kicked out of Famous Sword Villa, you met here?" When Bai Shuwen was writing, what did he say to you?"

You Xiyue blinked - she remembered.

At that time, Bai Shuwen said: He will help You Xiyue, no matter how long it takes, he will work with You Xiyue to obtain the understanding of You Xin and Chu Hongyan.

Because that is You Xiyue's family.

Even when Bai Shuwen faced Ye Xingguan, he took all the responsibilities on his shoulders.He never felt that the matter of You Xiyue was not his business and had nothing to do with him.

Ye Xingguan said: "In any case, what Bai Shuwen wants to see is the family who gave birth to him and raised him for more than ten years. Even if there are many grievances and grievances in the middle, that is the trouble he has to bear... Are you sure you don't want to be with him?" go together?"

"Xiyue, you have to understand one thing. You have already reached the age, and you will have to face more and more responsibilities in the future... I shouldn't have told you this, but your parents and your brother... "Ye Xingguan snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, let me be the bad guy."

You Xiyue seemed to be awakened by Ye Xingguan's words, but she was ashamed, and said after a while: "I understand..." After she finished speaking, she looked at Ye Xingguan for a while, and suddenly felt a little suffocated.It took her a long time before she finally said what she wanted to say: "Brother Xingguan... Master Ye, I... Xiyue owes you a lot. I know that apologizing is useless, but please believe me, I really owe you a lot." I know I was wrong. I know that I have done a lot of things that I shouldn't have done... hurt you, your brother, and your parents."
