Emperor industry. Anlan in the world

disappeared. "

Ye Chenxi tried her best to calm her breathing and force herself to calm down, but the graceful silhouette still looked too cold and hard, and the aura on her body was even more frosty, making people dare not look up.

"Have you searched the whole hotel?" His voice was low, as if he was suppressing something.

"Your Highness, I have already searched, but I have not found His Majesty." The last sentence made the soldier's speech extremely difficult, as if his throat had been pricked by a needle, and his voice trembled.

Ye Chenxi took two deep breaths to calm herself down a bit.If Ye Qingxiao was taken captive, then all the dragon guards wouldn't disappear together, it looks like they went out with Ye Qingxiao together.But now outside the palace, Ye Qingxiao only brought thirty dragon guards with her, once she was ambushed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Ye Chenxi couldn't help feeling anxious, and ordered decisively: "Go to the guard on duty last night and ask if anyone has seen His Majesty. If anyone has seen His Majesty, bring him here immediately. Ask yourself."

"Yes, Your Highness!" The soldier retreated in a hurry as if he had received an amnesty.

Ye Chenxi stayed alone in the wing room, but felt that the surroundings were terribly quiet. He even heard his own violent heartbeat, as if his anxious heart was about to jump out of his chest, which made him almost suffocate.He warned himself not to mess up his position, and to find Ye Qingxiao as soon as possible.

He took several deep breaths until the guard left and returned, so that he could continue to maintain his superficial calm. Looking at the several guards who walked in tremblingly, he asked loudly, "How is it?"

"Your Highness, these guards were in charge of guarding the door last night. They all saw His Majesty taking thirty dragon guards out, and His Majesty warned them not to make any noise."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxi turned her gaze to the guards, her eyes were sharp like knives, and she asked, "Did you see which direction His Majesty is going?"

Those guards didn't dare to take a breath at first, until Ye Chenxi asked, and only one of them replied tremblingly: "Go back to Your Highness, I saw that His Majesty is going in the direction of Cangshan Mountain."

"Cangshan?" Ye Chenxi was startled, then frowned, and said to herself in a low voice: "Why did he go to Cangshan?"

Although puzzled, the most urgent task is to find Ye Qingxiao, so Ye Chenxi quickly ordered: "Send the order, all the standard guards will be divided into two teams, one team will search along the way they came, and the other team will follow the king to Cangshan Mountain. Find Your Majesty..."

Before Ye Chenxi could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a clear shout: "No need!"

At the same time, a handsome figure in a leather uniform stepped over the threshold and walked in, his peerless demeanor can't help but make people's eyes shine.

Ye Youran glanced at the guards, and ordered: "You go out first."

Ye Chenxi raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and waved her hand to signal them to back off.Seeing this, all the guards withdrew like a tide, leaving only the two brothers in the room.

Since learning the news of Ye Qingxiao's disappearance, Ye Chenxi's head has been tense. Seeing Ye Youran who is calm and composed, Ye Chenxi felt a little at a loss, and asked directly: "What do you mean?"

Ye Youran hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty is not in danger, don't disturb the officials."

Ye Chenxi said excitedly: "He went up to Cangshan Mountain with only [-] dragon guards, what if he was ambush?"

"Before Your Majesty went up the mountain, I sent people to sweep it. Now Cangshan Mountain is full of my people, Your Majesty will not be in danger." Ye Youran stood upright, her tone was calm, and even her eyes were very open.

Ye Chenxi was slightly startled when she heard the words, then narrowed her eyes, stared at Ye Youran sharply, and asked, "Is there something you guys are hiding from me?"

Ye Youran looked at Ye Chenxi, and said: "We took advantage of this sacrifice to heaven and set a final test for the Thirty Dragon Guards. Only by passing this test can we stay with His Majesty."

Ye Chenxi only felt a buzzing sound in his head, his heart was beating like a drum, and he could hardly even breathe smoothly. He struggled to force out his voice and asked, "What's the test?"

"Loyalty!" After a pause, Ye Youran explained: "You should know how His Majesty was captured by the Rising Sun Kingdom in the frontier back then. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, I propose this final test. As long as they pass, in the future me and Your Majesty will They will absolutely trust them.”

How could Ye Chenxi not know about the fact that Ye Qingxiao was captured back then?At that time, the two countries were at war, the Rising Sun Kingdom had been defeated, and only some people were dying, but Ye Qingxiao's personal bodyguard, Zhu Li, hijacked Ye Qingxiao and made him fall into the enemy's hands in order to save his elder brother.

It's understandable that Ye Qingxiao wanted to test Long Wei's loyalty, but they kept it from him!He gave everything for Ye Qingxiao, but Ye Qingxiao still didn't trust him.Ye Chenxi's heart felt like a knife was twisting at this moment, the pain was so painful that even every breath seemed to be burned by a raging fire, and the flying look in his eyes dimmed instantly.

Ye Youran is a person with an exquisite mind, so she naturally understood what Ye Chenxi was thinking, and immediately said: "Don't blame your majesty, he never doubted you, he would not agree to hide it from you, but I knelt in front of him for half a night, and then He was forced to agree. In fact, he was very embarrassed."

"Because I chose Longwei, so you are worried that I have planted eyeliner in Longwei?" Ye Chenxi's voice was hoarse and his expression was tired: "You are worried that I will get the news, so you will notify my people in advance and let them take the opportunity Show loyalty, pass the test, don't you?"

"Yes!" The matter has come to this point, there is no need to hide anything anymore, Ye Youran looked at Ye Chenxi without a moment, and said: "I know you will not hurt His Majesty, but there is no guarantee that you will not keep the dark chess and use it when necessary. And I want to make sure that His Majesty is surrounded by his people and cannot betray him when necessary."

"Where's Mo Yichen? He also knows about it?" Actually, before asking, Ye Chenxi already had the answer in his heart, he just wanted to hear it again, even though the answer would burn his heart like a fire.

Ye Youran's eyelids were half-drooped, and the long eyelashes covered the emotions in the eyes, only the crisp voice of jade and stones revealed a bit of guilt: "Yes, Yichen not only knows about this, but also participates behind the scenes."

Ye Chenxi sneered, with an indescribable sadness in that laugh, he gave Ye Youran a cold look, and walked away.

"Chen Xi, Your Majesty..." Ye Youran followed two steps and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Chenxi blankly: "I want to hear from him himself, don't interfere!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Ye Youran and walked away.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Before and after leaving Beijing, Ye Qingxiao found an opportunity to reveal the last emperor's decree to each of the dragon guards individually, making them all think that Ye Qingxiao only trusted him, and then Ye Qingxiao set up a situation in Cangshan, taking them to Cangshan at night, Pretend to be attacked, hold them alone to torture them, and threaten their relatives when they are most vulnerable to test their loyalty.

Among the thirty dragon guards, five finally confessed the location of the will and lost their qualifications as dragon guards, leaving 25 people.When these 25 people were brought back to the foot of Cangshan Mountain, they were covered with scars, and they looked blankly at Ye Qingxiao, who was dressed in fine clothes, standing awe-inspiringly under the rising sun.

Ye Qingxiao glanced at the 25 dragon guards with a serious expression, and said: "You have passed the final test, and from now on, you are the real dragon guards, the people I trust the most, and I will not hesitate to let you go!" I leave the back to you, thank you for your loyalty to me."

Although most of the Long Wei felt awkward when they vaguely understood the truth of the matter, they immediately felt relieved when they heard Ye Qingxiao's words.When they looked at the man who was a man of heaven and earth in front of them, even though their bodies were covered with scars, their hearts were aroused with ambition and pride, even if they threw their heads and blood.

At this time, Ye Qingxiao had ordered someone to fetch several jars of rose dew, slapped open the mud, then took out a dagger, cut open the palm of his left hand, and let the blood drip into the wine.

Seeing this, all the dragon guards kowtowed in fear and exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"

After Ye Qingxiao dripped the blood, she ordered the guards to pour wine for the 25 dragon guards, and the aroma of the wine was immediately strong, even if she didn't drink it, she was intoxicated.Ye Qingxiao took a bowl of wine and said: "I know that you have resentment in your hearts, but I am the father of a dynasty, and I belong to the country, so I dare not trust others. I have tested your loyalty today, and I swear with blood, he There is no doubt about the day."

After speaking, he raised his neck and drank first as a respect.Before the cut palm had time to bandage, blood slid down his fingers, staining his sleeves red, but it didn't damage his dignity at all.After drinking, he threw away the porcelain bowl in his hand, his eyes were as bright as stars, and the domineering arrogance that roared across the sky made all the dragon guards stand upright.

All the dragon guards were already moved, and they took the porcelain bowls and drank them all in one gulp. After drinking, they put down the porcelain bowls and shouted long live, the voice resounded through the mountains and fields, echoing endlessly.

Ye Qingxiao ordered people to bring the excited dragon guards back to the hotel to heal their wounds. Just as they were about to leave, they saw a person riding fast one by one. , Everyone who saw it felt uneasy.

Ye Qingxiao's eyes were half drooped, and she hid her injured left hand behind her back, waiting for Ye Chenxi's arrival.

Ye Chenxi reined in the horse's reins in front of Ye Qingxiao, flew off the horse, glanced at everyone present, and then turned her gaze to Ye Qingxiao, that gaze was as fierce as a cold wind, making people tremble: "Aren't you owe me an explanation?"

Ye Qingxiao said to the guards around her: "You all step down, King Kang will protect me."

Although the guards felt that the atmosphere was weird, but the king's order was hard to violate, so they had to retreat.

It wasn't until the two of them were left in this empty mountain field that Ye Qingxiao raised her eyes to look at Ye Chenxi, her eyes were disturbed: "You already know..."

"If I didn't know the truth, I would have brought my guards to look for you like crazy at this moment. I have given everything to you. I don't want the world. I give military power with both hands. I just want to be an idle prince who is laughed at. I thought you You already understand my sincerity, but it turns out...it's all my wishful thinking!"

Ye Chenxi's expression was ashen, her tone was agitated, and her eyes seemed to gather a storm, which was frighteningly fierce.Seeing this, Ye Qingxiao immediately hugged him, and explained: "Chen Xi, no! I have always believed in you, but Youran wants me to explain to the people all over the world. He has a stubborn temperament and refuses to get up after kneeling for half a night. , I agreed to him out of helplessness."

"You can't bear to hurt Ye Youran, but you have the heart to hurt me. Do you know how I feel when I hear the truth? I hold my sincerity in front of you, but you are so heartless to cut a knife. Should I bear it with a smile? Ye Qing Xiao, you are so cruel!" Ye Chenxi became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally pushed Ye Qingxiao away, Ye Qingxiao staggered a few steps, almost fell down, and managed to stabilize her body.

The moment Ye Qingxiao was about to fall, Ye Chenxi almost reflexively stretched out his hand to help him, but as soon as he moved his hand, he came back to his senses, held it back forcibly, and stared at him with a blank expression. Ye Qingxiao's eyes are sharp like knives.

Ye Qingxiao froze in place, although Ye Chenxi's gaze was cold and frightening, but he still slowly met Ye Chenxi's gaze without retreating: "Chenxi, you should know what kind of person I am, if you don't Believe you, I will never hand over Longwei to you for training. I am the one who makes the final decision on this matter. I know that I ignored your feelings. It is my fault. But you have to believe me, it is definitely not me Intention."

The morning light pierced through the clouds and fell to the ground, illuminating their pale and sad faces, and the originally melodious mountain birdsong was a bit sad to the ears.At this moment, Ye Qingxiao suddenly understood that the saddest thing in this world is not being relatively silent, but that no matter how much you say, you can't convince the other party.

At this moment, Ye Chenxi's heart was as cold as embers, and she didn't want to say much, but just let out a cold snort and walked away.

Ye Qingxiao was startled when she saw this, and immediately grabbed Ye Chenxi's hand, but was thrown away. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Chenxi mounted the horse and galloped away, rolling up a wave of yellow sand on the ground.

It wasn't until Ye Chenxi's figure gradually disappeared that Ye Qingxiao looked back and covered her face with her sleeves.They have gone through the fright and split the shore, thinking that they will finally be together, but unexpectedly, a crack appeared in this experiment.

After a long time, Ye Qingxiao's emotions calmed down a little. He was about to walk forward, but he accidentally saw a broken old pine tree not far away. At the broken place, he saw circles of annual rings on it. , he seemed to see that he and Ye Chenxi had experienced ups and downs in the long years, and it was like cutting out a heart with a knife.At the end, all thoughts turned into a broken call: "Chen Xi..."

The author has something to say:

☆, ([-]) Moonlight Pursuit

Ye Qingxiao didn't delay for long, he soon appeared in front of Baiguan fully dressed, and hiked to Bairen Mountain according to the original route, but during this process, Baiguan never saw the flamboyant and easy King Kang again.

When they arrived at Bairen Mountain, all the officials watched their Son of Heaven ascend the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain with firm steps and pious expressions. No one noticed that the moment the clear figure turned around, the sun hit his eyes and shattered his eyes. The calmness in his eyes was stained with a haze of vicissitudes.

After praying for rain, Ye Qingxiao returned in the carriage. He was blown by the cold wind for several hours, and when he returned to the carriage, he was covered with cold air. Mo Yichen carefully covered Ye Qingxiao with a warm blanket, and then put a A hand stove was stuffed in his hand, which slowly dispelled the chill from his body.

Mo Yichen's heart is like a mirror, and he found that King Kang left halfway, and the time of departure was so coincidental, so he naturally understood what happened, but facing the silent king, he didn't ask any more questions, just read the book silently.

Over the years, Mo Yichen has always been by Ye Qingxiao's side, even when Ye Qingxiao was most at a loss, he never left.They are not only monarchs and ministers, but also confidants.After being silent for a while, Ye Qingxiao finally sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "I finally understand how you felt when Xue Lingyun said "I don't believe it" to you."

Mo Yichen glanced at Ye Qingxiao after hearing the words, his eyes were clear, as if after years of refinement, the vicissitudes of life had turned into indifference.In Ye Qingxiao's heart, Mo Yichen is a very strange person, his life is full of ups and downs, but his experience is more colorful; he lives in a temple full of people, but his heart is as lonely as snow.Huiji will hurt, see everything, but it is not easy to be happy.

"The subject was all hopeless back then." After saying that, Mo Yichen turned his gaze back to the book.

"All thoughts are lost..." A bitter smile spread from Ye Qingxiao's lips.Mo Yichen was completely innocent back then, but was implicated by him.But now, he committed the crime knowingly, offended Ye Chenxi's rebellion, and even broke Ye Chenxi's heart.But why did he think so?Hurting Ye Chenxi didn't mean hurting himself.

All of a sudden, the carriage was filled with depressing sadness, Ye Qingxiao pushed aside the brocade curtain, absently looking at the scenery outside the window, with worry on her brows.

Mo Yichen knew that Ye Qingxiao was distressed, so he comforted him: "His Majesty's move is not only for His Majesty, but also for His Highness Kang Wang. At that time, His Majesty asked His Highness Kang Wang to train the dragon guards, and the officials were quite critical, thinking that His Majesty's move was too much. Imprudence. The final trial can not only select a truly loyal person for His Majesty, but also give an explanation to all the officials. From then on, no one dares to write a letter about Longwei."

Ye Qingxiao pressed the center of her eyebrows lightly with her fingertips, and said: "I hope Chen Xi can understand my painstaking efforts."

At this time, it was snowing outside the window, and the white snowflakes were densely sprinkled like pearls, floating all over the ground one after another. The mountains and plains were dyed with this pure white color, but they could not wash away the sorrow in my heart.

Ye Qingxiao stretched out her hand and grabbed a few snowflakes. The cold touch made his hand tremble involuntarily, and the snowflakes quickly melted in his hands.

Mo Yichen looked at the silver-clad scenery outside the window, only felt that the snow outside the window was like flowers, the cold wind flew in along the window, and a few snowflakes fell on Ye Qingxiao's shoulders, but the handsome king seemed like Unaware, just staring intently at the world outside the window.

"His Royal Highness Kang Wang just needs time to think it through." Mo Yichen saw the warm blanket slipping off Ye Qingxiao's body, and quickly covered him up.

When Ye Qingxiao heard the words, she could only smile wryly: "Chen Xi and Xue Lingyun haven't figured out what happened back then."

Hearing this, Mo Yichen tightened his hand that was tucking in the warm blanket, but soon relaxed again, and said, "Although His Royal Highness Kang Wang didn't understand it, he was willing to forgive His Majesty, which shows how much affection he has for His Majesty. Your Majesty should trust Kang Wang." Your Highness."

Ye Qingxiao was silent for a moment when she heard the words, with a lonely expression, before she replied: "I hope so."

A person as proud as Ye Chenxi would not give up easily once he felt offended.He took a deep breath, but was almost choked by the freezing temperature, and felt a pain in his throat.He looked out the window at the snowy world, but he could no longer find the figure of that person.

______________________________________________________________________________

Ye Chenxi hadn't entered the palace since offering sacrifices to heaven, and hid in Kang Wang's mansion all day long drinking and having fun. Ye Qingxiao sent people to invite him several times, but he refused with various excuses.

For this reason, Ye Youran went to Kang Wang's mansion several times to persuade Ye Chenxi, but every time he was so sneering and turned back.All of a sudden, the emperor of the current dynasty, who was once jokingly called the second handle of civil and military affairs, and King Kang fell into a cold war, and the atmosphere never eased.

This year's spring was extremely cold, with heavy snowfall stretching for thousands of miles, and the vicinity of the capital city was covered in a vast expanse of whiteness, with frozen bones on the road.Ye Qingxiao immediately ordered disaster relief, but the officials below followed suit. Not only did they embezzle private disaster relief money, but they also ordered people to close the city gates to prevent disaster victims from entering the city and making trouble.

An official went to the secret paper to explain the truth to Ye Qingxiao in detail. Ye Qingxiao was furious after reading the memorial. She overturned a porcelain cup on the case on the spot and shouted: "Zhang Quan, go and prepare, I want Get out of the palace immediately."

Zhang Quan was packing up the broken porcelain cups, when he heard the words, he was startled, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, where are you going?"

Ye Qingxiao stood up, her eyes flushed with anger: "I'm going to the Haidu area, and see if there is such a sad thing at the feet of the emperor!"

Both Huaishi and Haidu are only more than 100 miles away from Chaoyang City, and they are the tax-heavy lands of East Vietnam. The current prefect of Haidu is Du Jianhua, the second son of the uncle Du Bufan.

Zhang Quan watched Ye Qingxiao grow up, so he naturally knew Ye Qingxiao's temper, he didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only ask: "How many people does Your Majesty plan to bring?"

Ye Qingxiao avoided Zhang Quan's gaze, and said, "Going out of the city late at night, don't make too much publicity, I just take Shinan with me."

After Zhang Quan heard this, his face turned green with fright, and he immediately exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"

Ye Qingxiao waved her hand, her attitude was firm: "I'm going on tour in modest clothes, if I bring too many people, it's easy to startle the snake. Haidu is only more than 100 miles away from Beijing, I'll go back as soon as I go, it's okay."

After thinking about it, Zhang Quan always felt that this matter was inappropriate, and was about to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Ye Qingxiao: "Go!"

Zhang Quan had no choice but to back down with a bitter face, thinking in his heart that he would report a letter to Hengwang's mansion later, so as to be safe.

_______________________________________________________________________________

That night, the Zuiyue Tower was still full of lights and feasting, and Du Bufan's eldest son, Du Xiaonian, hosted a banquet for many dignitaries in Beijing.Ye Chenxi also attended out of some kind of revenge, but he just drank and laughed with the oiran Hongyue, and had no further plans.

After drinking for three rounds, many dignitaries and dignitaries staggered towards the wing with the beauties in their arms, and went to the cloud and rain together.But Ye Chenxi still poured cup after cup into his throat. The sweet wine in the cup was clearly fragrant and intoxicating, but after entering his throat, there was a burst of bitterness. The spicy wine burned his heart, but he couldn't get rid of the trouble in his heart. dry.

These days, he ignored Ye Qingxiao, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He always inquired about that person casually, wondering if he was doing well.After inquiring about it, he felt distressed in every possible way, telling himself not to be soft-hearted, and tossing and tossing so repeatedly was unspeakably miserable.

Ever since Ye Chenxi won the championship with an arrow by the river that year, Hongyue has been secretly in love with Ye Chenxi. Now that she finally has the opportunity to get close, she will naturally not miss it.She threw herself into Ye Chenxi's arms through alcohol, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyebrows were affectionate, and she asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, is there something on your mind?"

Ye Chenxi raised her sword eyebrows when she heard the words, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips, looking suave and suave: "I have a beauty in my arms, so what's on my mind?"

Hongyue rubbed her face against Ye Chenxi's chest, exhaling like blue: "Since Your Highness doesn't dislike Hongyue, can you be Hongyue's guest tonight?"

Ye Chenxi froze when she heard the words, her heart became more and more irritable, but she couldn't refuse clearly, she just wanted to perfunctory the past.At this moment, Du Xiaonian who was sitting next to him whispered in his ear: "When I went out to meet the young master just now, I saw a carriage heading towards the city gate, who do you think is driving it? "

Ye Chenxi let go of Hongyue in her arms, and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Du Xiaonian raised his glass and drank it all, then chuckled and said, "Qin Shinan."

Ye Chenxi thumped in his heart, and asked in doubt, "How could he leave the city at this time?"

Du Xiaonian looked around, and found that everyone was concentrating on flirting with the beauty, and no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, "If Qin Shinan went out to do errands by himself, why would he use a carriage? I guess the people in the carriage must be from the palace." That one."

Ye Chenxi already had this thought when she first heard Qin Shinan's name, but now that she heard Du Xiaonian's words, she couldn't sit still anymore, her mind was full of that person.

Ye Qingxiao has been a well-known Prince Tie Dan since he proclaimed himself a king. To him, "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" is all nonsense.Back then, King Yu had turned his back on him, but he dared to go to King Yu's fief to show off.Now, he went out of the city late at night, and he didn't bring many people with him. Where was he going?

Du Xiaonian saw that Ye Chenxi was absent-minded, and hinted: "The one who left Beijing late at night probably didn't bring many people with him. If you want to do something, you have to seize the opportunity."

Once these words came out, how could Ye Chenxi sit still?Even though he doesn't want to seize the opportunity, there are many people who want this opportunity.He immediately got up and said to Du Xiaonian: "I'll drink this wine another day, so farewell!"

Du Xiaonian waved his hands knowingly, and said, "Okay, okay, what's the relationship between us, don't be polite, let's go!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chenxi rushed out like an arrow. He stood at the door of Zuiyue Tower and looked around. At this moment, he happened to see a horse parked in the opposite inn. The owner of the horse had just arrived and had not had time to tie the horse.

Ye Chenxi rushed over, threw out a silver ticket, and said, "This horse is bought by the king." After finishing speaking, he kicked the horse's belly and left in the dust.

The cold moon was soaking in the skin, and the cold wind was blowing in. When Ye Chenxi left, she didn't have time to take the cloak, but she didn't seem to feel the chill. Her heart was beating nervously, and even the blood in her whole body was flowing in a panic.

When he arrived at the city gate, he asked the guards guarding the city, and after confirming that Qin Shinan's carriage had left the city, he chased in that direction.After chasing for several miles, he finally saw a simple carriage driving under the moonlight. He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his whip to catch up with the carriage, and ordered to Qin Shinan who was driving: "Stop!"

When Qin Shinan knew that someone was chasing him, he was already apprehensive and secretly on guard. Now that he knew it was Ye Chenxi, he was relieved. He quickly reined in the horse, got out of the car respectfully, and saluted: "Your Highness!"

When Ye Qingxiao in the carriage heard Ye Chenxi's voice, she hurriedly opened the brocade curtain, leaned out half of her body, and asked in surprise: "Chenxi, why are you here?"

Ye Chenxi stared blankly at the face that was half hidden in the moonlight, and he could tell that he had lost weight just by the blurred outline. Although his eyes were so vivid at the moment that people were fascinated, he could vaguely see a faint black shadow under his eyes.

At this moment, Ye Chenxi suddenly felt distressed. He even forgot how angry he was at the beginning. Now his heart and eyes are full of the shadow of this person.

The author has something to say:

☆、([-]) Settle your suspicions

Under the moonlit night, Ye Chenxi stared at Ye Qingxiao with burning eyes, without saying a word.This is the first time since the dispute that day, Ye Chenxi took the initiative to look for Ye Qingxiao. Ye Qingxiao got off the carriage nervously, and came to Ye Chenxi. , immediately frowned and said, "Why are you dressed so thinly?"

After all, he was about to ask Qin Shinan to get the cloak, but before he could speak, he coughed.He had a warm blanket and a hand stove in the sedan chair, even if he didn't wear a cloak, it would be fine, but now that he got out of the sedan chair, the cold wind blows, and he just feels chills all over his body.

Although Ye Chenxi had lost her memory, after spending so long with Ye Qingxiao, she already knew that Ye Qingxiao's body would cough when caught cold.He hurriedly rushed into the sedan chair and took the cloak, put it on Ye Qingxiao gently, and carefully fastened the tie, and then softly reprimanded me: "You still say that you can't even take care of yourself, how can I let it go next to you?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxiao thought of what happened that day, and felt a pang of pain in her heart, her eyes were full of grievances, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Seeing this, Ye Chenxi's heart softened. She only felt regretful. She immediately held his hand and said softly, "It's my fault. I should calm down and listen to your explanation. I shouldn't hurt your heart with sarcastic words."

Hearing these words, Ye Qingxiao's heart that had been anxious for several days finally settled down. He couldn't help but hold Ye Chenxi's hand tightly, with a bitter voice: "You are not wrong, it is my fault, I know I was hurt Your heart, but you have to trust me, I never doubted you."

At this time, Qin Shinan had already quietly retreated to the distance, and only Ye Chenxi and Ye Qingxiao were left beside the carriage. Ye Chenxi rubbed Ye Qingxiao's hand repeatedly until the cold touch gradually warmed up, and then he said: "I know you have your difficulties, and I won't blame you again."

Ye Qingxiao only felt a burst of warmth choked in her throat, sore and astringent, making him speechless.Only then did Ye Chenxi remember the purpose of her pursuit, and couldn't help asking: "Where are you going?"

Ye Qingxiao cleared her throat, but her voice was still a bit astringent: "I received a secret report that the officials in Huaishi and Haidu areas embezzled the relief money, and even closed the city gates to prevent the victims from entering the city, and the frozen dead looked at each other. I I want to go on tour in disguise."

Ye Chenxi frowned upon hearing this. Their cousin Du Jianhua is the prefect of Haidu. If this matter is true, he must be involved.Huaishi and Haidu are only more than 100 miles away from the capital, but they closed the city gates and refused to resettle the victims. Once riots broke out, the capital would be in dire straits.

At the beginning of the fall of Chu Aoqin, the King of the Rising Sun, the victims went to Fan Huai, a hundred miles away from the capital, to eat, and the prefect of Fan Huai ordered the city gate to be closed, forcing the hungry people to riot and break through the city gate.

How can East Vietnam repeat the mistakes of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun?

Thinking of this, Ye Chenxi couldn't help cursing those idiots secretly, and at the same time felt that the matter was urgent, so she said, "I'll go with you."

Ye Qingxiao's heart warmed up, she nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."

That smile was as warm as the morning sun, and Ye Chenxi's melancholy for many days was swept away. He thought to himself: Never get angry with Brother Huang again, it's really hard to be sad and hurt yourself.

Ye Chenxi called Qin Shinan back to drive, and he and Ye Qingxiao got into the car. He carefully tucked up the warm blanket for Ye Qingxiao, and was about to put the stove into Ye Qingxiao's hand, but Ye Qingxiao frowned slightly, Opened the curtain of the car window.

The strong wind blew away the last bit of warmth in the carriage, and the chill was oppressive.Ye Qingxiao's face trembled slightly in the cold wind, and he couldn't help coughing a few times, but he stubbornly blew the cold wind, refusing to compromise with the cold.

Ye Chenxi hugged his shoulder distressedly, and asked puzzledly: "Seeing that you are so cold, why are you still opening the curtains?"

Ye Qingxiao coughed a few more times, and then said in a low voice: "I don't like to smell your body."

Ye Chenxi was puzzled for a moment, but soon realized that he was cuddling with Hongyue just now, and his body must have smelled of rouge, so he panicked and quickly explained: "Today Xiaonian is entertaining guests at the Zuiyue Tower, and I It's not good to refute his face, but I'm just putting on a show, and I definitely didn't do anything to be sorry for you."

Ye Qingxiao pursed her lips tightly when she heard the words, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Ye Chenxi was upset, and heard Ye Qingxiao cough a few times, she could not help but hug him tightly, and said nervously: "I was wrong, I will never go to that kind of place again, you If you don't feel relieved, hit me and scold me, don't torment your body, okay?"

After finishing speaking, he carefully put down the brocade curtain, put the stove into Ye Qingxiao's hand again, then gently kissed Ye Qingxiao's forehead, and said: "You know me, I only have you in my heart."

That warm breath rushed towards his face, even though Ye Qingxiao was still a little depressed, but his heart softened after all, he buried his face in Ye Chenxi's shoulder, and whispered: "I understand."

They had a cold war for many days, during which time both of them could not sleep or eat at ease.Now that the previous suspicions were over, they suddenly felt exhausted, so they hugged each other and slept in the carriage. Although there were occasional bumps, they slept soundly. They were not awakened by Qin Shinan until they arrived outside Fancheng, which was under the jurisdiction of Haidu.

Although it was noon at this time, there was heavy snow, the whole world was silvery white, and the cold wind whispered like a ghost, killing everyone.When Ye Qingxiao and Ye Chenxi got off the carriage, they were so shocked by the scene in front of them that they couldn't react for a long time. The city gates were closed, corpses were strewn across the field, and there were no survivors left. Squatting under the city wall and whimpering in a low voice, the rest slapped the city gate and asked to open it, but no one paid any attention.The cry below the city was shrill, but the guards on the top of the city were completely indifferent.

Ye Qingxiao has been on the battlefield several times in his life. It's not that he has never seen a scene of corpses strewn across the field, but he has never been so shocked by a scene.He remembered that on the day he ascended the throne, he had personally written the four characters "Tianxia Anlan" on the pillars of the Seven Star Hall, and remembered that he had promised Mo Yichen a peaceful and prosperous life. However, when he was playing chess and drinking in the palace, his The people are mourning all over the country. In the future, under the nine springs, what face will he have to meet his ancestors?

Hearing the screaming cries of the victims, Ye Qingxiao seemed to have blood flowing backwards all over her body, and her eyes were reddened.Ye Chenxi recovered from the shock, turned to look at Ye Qingxiao, saw his heart-piercing appearance, couldn't help but tighten her heart, and held his hand.

Ye Qingxiao forced herself to calm down, and said to Ye Chenxi: "Go!"

His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had gone through all kinds of hardships to squeeze out these words.The three of them came to the city gate, and Ye Chenxi shouted to the soldiers at the top of the city: "Open the gate!"

The soldiers at the top of the city looked down the city indifferently, and then said: "Master Du has an order that no one is allowed to open the city gate, and those who violate it will be executed."

Ye Chenxi snorted coldly when she heard the words: "It's up to you, you're not even worthy of taking off your grandfather's boots, so ask Du Jianhua to come out."

The soldier's face changed suddenly, and then he looked at the three people under the city gate seriously, and saw that the two men standing side by side had an extraordinary demeanor, which was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.And the man standing behind them, who looked like a follower, was as tall as a sword, with sharp eyes and an imposing manner.

He was startled, and immediately ran to report to Du Jianhua.

After a while, Du Jianhua appeared on the top of the city, looked down the city, his face turned pale with fright, he repeatedly ordered the city gate to be opened, while he ran down the city tower in panic, and led the crowd to kneel in front of the city gate to meet him.

Seeing this, the victims who were crying and knocking on the door all retreated to the side, looking at Ye Qingxiao and the three of them in bewilderment.

At this time, the city gate was wide open, and Du Jianhua and others knelt in front of the city gate and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Seeing this, all the victims hurriedly knelt down and shouted long live.

Ye Qingxiao glanced at the victims in ragged clothes, and said loudly: "The responsibility of the emperor lies in the peace of the world. It is my fault that my people suffer from hunger. From today onwards, you can eat well, wear I will never abandon my people."

After hearing this, the disaster victims kowtowed and shouted long live, and the cry was mixed with crying, which made those who heard it feel sad.

Ye Qingxiao turned her gaze to Du Jianhua who was kneeling on the ground trembling again, her bright eyes were like frost: "Du Jianhua, what should you do!"

Du Jianhua's face was already frightened, but when he heard Ye Qingxiao's words, he quickly kowtowed and shouted: "I'm guilty of this crime!"
