step by step

Chapter 230
Ye Wenxuan looked relaxed, but still did not speak.

"Grandpa!" Ye Zhaoyan took out the military book in his arms, "Zhaoyan is not a girl who doesn't know the world! I have studied this military book every day, and I have gained many extraordinary insights. I will be able to share my worries for grandpa in the future! "

Ye Wenxuan stared at Ye Zhaoyan for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Haha. You, you, what I regret most in my life is why you were not born as a man. You have been talented since you were a child. If you were a man, you would have become a famous warrior after following your grandfather. Watching you grow up and becoming more and more beautiful, and knowing how to take care of your mother and help grandpa take care of military affairs, I feel relieved. I think such a caring girl is also very good. I even hope that you can marry a good man and be a good person A woman who lives in peace, this may be more suitable for you."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, sighed again, and said: "However, the good times don't last long, and before grandpa picks a good husband for you, the Ye family somehow encountered more and more difficulties, forcing you I can't be safe in my boudoir, and I have to worry about the Ye family."

Ye Zhaoyan kept silent.

She naturally knew the reason for all this, but the last time she was at Ye's house, she had reminded him of the ruthlessness of Emperor Donglin by dreaming about her past life, but it was a pity that Ye Wenxuan had been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for most of his life, and had already engraved that perseverance into his bones. How could he easily change his mind and rebel against his own emperor?
"My Zhaoyan, do you remember that grandpa once told you that he didn't want you to get involved in politics because he was worried that you would be involved in party disputes and be in danger?" Marven Ye looked sad, "I don't know if you can I understand grandpa's difficulties, after your grandma passed away, I have no children under my knees, besides helping her return, there is only you as a close relative of flesh and blood, if you suffer misfortune, then what fun is there in grandpa's life?"

If Ye Zhaoyan dies, the Ye family will truly be left behind.

Ye Zhaoyan raised his head suddenly, and said firmly: "Grandpa, I don't want to be a mediocre little girl, watching Ye's family swaying in the wind and rain behind my back but doing nothing! I want to be a woman like my grandma. Heroine heroine, guard the Ye family together with grandpa!"

Back then, Ye Zhaoyan's grandmother, Lin Qingyun, went to the battlefield to save Ye Wenxuan's life, leaving a good story behind.

It was also because of this that Lin Qingyun, who was not of high status at the time, barely got Ye Mu's approval.

When Ye Wenxuan heard her mention his first wife, he was stunned, as if he was going through memory and reminiscing about the past.

Ye Zhengping looked at Ye Zhaoyan full of shock, then sighed, and said to Ye Wenxuan: "Father, you know Zhaoyan's temper. What she decides cannot be changed. You might as well put your own Tell her about her physical condition, let's figure out a way together so that she won't be frightened."

Ye Wenxuan was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed: "Forget it, since you've all noticed it, then I won't hide it from you."

After all, he told them about the fact that he was forced to accept Gu poison in the Beiliang royal family, but he didn't tell the truth about Ye Zhaoyan and the Chongji royal family.

That secret was so frightening that he worried that Ye Zhaoyan would never be able to live in peace after hearing it.

More importantly, these things are all Beiliang's one-sided words, and he is not sure whether the other party is hiding something.

He decided to wait until he sent people to Chongji Kingdom to find out what happened before making any plans.

After listening to Ye Wenxuan's narration, Ye Zhengping's face suddenly became cloudy. Ye Zhaoyan clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "Those despicable people! How dare they plot against Grandpa like this, I will never forgive them!"

Ye Zhengping calmed down, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Did my father get poisoned because of repeated attempts to detoxify with medicine?"

Ye Wenxuan sighed: "That's right, originally I wanted to use these doses of decoction to control the toxicity, but who would have thought that the poison would worsen soon after I finished drinking the medicine."

Ye Zhengping frowned and said, "Father, is this poison a witchcraft from southern Xinjiang?"

Ye Wenxuan shook his head, "I don't know yet, but I always feel that this is not the witchcraft used by wizards in southern Xinjiang."

"Oh? What could be the reason?" Ye Zhengping asked.

"As far as I know, wizards in southern Xinjiang are good at making medicines by mixing plant ash, corn flour or various poisons, but the effects of these medicines are roughly similar, whether they are used for wound debridement, anti-inflammation, or hemostasis or sterilization. Any difference, if there is a difference, is only a slight difference in its efficacy. For example, the corn flour made by the wizards of Southern Xinjiang can make the skin fester, and although my poison has the effect of paralyzing the nerves, it is far better than the cornstarch made by the wizards of Southern Xinjiang. Fantastic."

Ye Zhengping was silent when he heard this.

It seems that Beiliang has made sufficient preparations this time in order to make Ye Wenxuan obey them.

I am afraid that this poison will not be cured for a while.

Ye Zhaoyan hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, is there a way to cure your poison?"

Ye Wenxuan shook his head and said bitterly: "This poison is too strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cure."

Ye Zhaoyan's eyes were red, she clenched her fists and murmured in a low voice, "I'm not reconciled."

"However, I do have a suggestion. Father, why don't we invite Imperial Physician Liu to come for diagnosis and treatment?" Ye Zhengping suggested, "I heard that the late emperor cured all difficult and miscellaneous diseases."

Ye Wenxuan shook his head and said, "Although Imperial Doctor Liu's medical skills are superb, he always waits on Concubine Jiang and refuses to act easily. On the day I came out of the Beiliang Palace, I sent a letter to Your Majesty, explaining the Hexi journey. All the twists and turns of the war, if His Majesty has the heart, he should be allowed to come."

Ye Zhengping couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard this. He knew Concubine Jiang's attitude towards the Ye family. During the birthday banquet, Concubine Jiang clearly expressed her disgust towards the Ye family. Marven Ye devoted himself to treatment.

Ye Wenxuan felt his disappointment, patted Ye Zhengping on the shoulder, and said, "Relax, I believe that my life is not over yet for my father, this time of suffering must be a test from the heavens, and my old bones will definitely Grit your teeth and get through it!"

At dusk, Ye Jiajun received a letter from the flying pigeons from Jindu Palace, and Ye Zhengping and Ye Zhaoyan happily delivered the letter to Ye Wenxuan.

Ye Wenxuan's eyes were moist, and he quickly opened the paper. There were only a few numbers on it—"I already know that the general must take Hexi, and he must not give it up."

No other words were mentioned, but it revealed that the emperor didn't care about the various difficulties Ye Wenxuan encountered, and only let Ye Wenxuan do his best to seize Hexi.

Ye Wenxuan felt a bitterness in his heart, he closed his eyes, unable to bear to take another look.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Ye Zhaoyan felt his depression.

Ye Wenxuan came back to his senses, let out a breath slowly, and said: "It seems that we can only rely on our Ye family in this battle! However, the forces in Beiliang are complicated and deeply rooted. We want to compete with them. It's not easy to take down all of Hexi with their eyes on them."

　Tomorrow will continue for a few days, paving the way for the heroine's battle.
