step by step

Chapter 315
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhuo Tianxin became furious and raised his hand to hit him, but Ye Zhaoyan dodged him.

Ye Zhaoyan took a few steps back and looked down at her, "I didn't do anything to him, but you hate me so much, they almost killed Zhuo Yibai, shouldn't you kill them?"

"You—" Zhuo Tianxin stared at her with resentment in his eyes, "Why do you say such things!"

"Killing for life is justified." Ye Zhaoyan laughed and paused every word, "You have seen everything, don't you even understand this?"

Under the bright morning light, this woman's smile is as bright as spring, but for no reason, it makes people feel cold in the bottom of their hearts.

Zhuo Tianxin fell to the ground as if he lost his strength, and murmured dully: "Killer pays for life."

"There is no cure for Gu poison, just like a living dead." In the past, when she begged to no avail, Helianbi said this sentence with hatred, announcing Zhuo Yibai's most likely way out.

She was able to steal the antidote in desperation, not only because of the mysterious letter, but more importantly, she couldn't tolerate him becoming a living dead.

Ye Zhaoyan knelt down and looked at her, with an understatement, as if discussing the weather today: "I don't mind helping you, but can you really avenge him?"

Her eyes shone with a cold light, as if she could see through everything.

Zhuo Tianxin felt that the blood in his whole body froze all of a sudden, and his head became dizzy, leaving only a vague illusion: Zhuo Yibai unsuspectingly drank the soup from Helianbi, closed his eyes and fell down, Crying to beg the imperial physician, but in the end what he got in return was his father's words, "Naughty girl, don't mess around!"

Footsteps sounded outside, Wei Yu walked in, and saw the slim young girl in the room from a distance, said respectfully: "Miss Ye."

When he got closer, he suddenly found Zhuo Tianxin who had fallen on the ground. He was a little surprised, "This"

Zhuo Tianxin's eyes were dull and he didn't respond, obviously he was greatly stimulated.

Wei Yu looked puzzled, feeling the stalemate and condensed atmosphere, a little hard to bear.

At dawn that day, Zhuo Tianxin came with pills and saved the young master, which made him very grateful, so naturally he dared not neglect.

But these days, if it weren't for the pills Ye Zhaoyan gave to keep his life alive, maybe his young master wouldn't be able to survive the arrival of the antidote.

Besides, the son treats Miss Ye differently from others.

In this way, he didn't know what to do, let alone how to deal with it.

"Since there is nothing wrong, I will leave." Ye Zhaoyan instructed, "Take good care of him."

Wei Yu looked at Ye Zhaoyan, then at Zhuo Tianxin with a slumped face, sighed, and sent her out.

Recently, the sparsely populated Ye Mansion welcomed people from the palace.

Ye Wenxuan was finally summoned, which aroused the speculation of many courtiers.

The situation in the southern border is like a torment, and at this moment, when the veteran is announced to the palace for an audience, he should be called to clean up the mess, everyone thinks so.

When Ye Wenxuan returned to Ye Mansion, it was already dark.

The night was low, the rain-washed sky was clear, and a round of bright silver plates hung on the sky, exuding a lustrous brilliance.

Such a comfortable scene should make people feel open, but the expression on his face is dark and unclear.

Ye Zhaoyan and Ye Fugui had been waiting for a long time, busy cleaning him up.

"Your Majesty ordered that Grandpa lead the Ye family's army to the south soon." Ye Wenxuan said seemingly casually, he knew that although his family was happy, his heart was nervous that he would go to the palace today.

Ye Zhaoyan's smile froze at the corner of his mouth as the harmonious atmosphere still persisted.

"Zhaoyan, the Ye Mansion will be handed over to you. After I leave, take care of yourself and your mother."

Ye Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Aren't uncle going with you?"

Ye Wenxuan's expression was mixed with a trace of sadness, "The situation in the court is complicated, and the battle situation this time is also quite strange. I always feel uneasy if I leave for too long. I'm worried about leaving Zhengping at home."

He didn't go on talking, turned to Ye Zhengping and said, "I've been away from Jindu for several months, and everything at home is complicated, so you must take good care of it. Especially Zhaoyan's mother and daughter, absolutely don't let anyone hurt them."

Ye Fugui said solemnly: "My son knows."

"Grandpa is the only general going south?" Ye Zhaoyan couldn't bear to ask.

"More than that." Ye Wenxuan was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Prince Qing will also accompany you. Besides, there are several other generals. It's just that these people are all rough warriors, and they have never been familiar with the art of war. Going forward, the good and the bad are mixed."

Ye Zhaoyan felt uneasy: "Why does King Qing want to be together?"

In fact, she wanted to know what kind of power Emperor Donglin had given to King Qing, and where he placed Grandpa.

After all, King Qing is the younger brother of Emperor Donglin. In terms of status, he is respected far more than the first general.

"Your Majesty has an order," Ye Wenxuan sighed, "This trip is extremely dangerous. King Qing has made military exploits at a young age, won the favor of the emperor, and served as an imperial envoy, commanding the southward army, and concurrently serving as an army supervisor."

envoy, warlord
Ye Zhaoyan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized the key point, the power of the imperial envoy is enough to dispatch all the troops in the barracks and order all the generals.

Including Ye Wenxuan who is in charge of the Ye Family Army.

Ye Zhengping obviously thought of this, and there was displeasure on his brows: "Father, why don't you let me go south together, the position of the imperial envoy has always been vacant, if..."

"You don't have to say too much, I care about myself."

"Father, the southern border is far away. There are few generals here, let alone acquaintances. I don't worry if there is no one around you."

Ye Wenxuan raised his hand to stop him: "The Ye family army is all my people, so why be afraid? Although the old man is old, he is not useless! Someone must take care of Ye's mansion, and the Ye family army will secretly leave one for you. There is no need to discuss this matter again." discuss."

There was determination in his tone, Ye Zhengping didn't dare to say more.

Ye Zhaoyan listened with his head down, but his heart was full of turmoil.

The post of imperial envoy was personally assigned by Emperor Donglin to King Qing. Although he has a support, it also represents Emperor Donglin's trust in him. They will all be caught in the fire, and it will even be a disaster for the Ye family.

That's it
Emperor Donglin deserved to be a treacherous emperor, ruthless and unscrupulous, even the lives of his subjects could be regarded as worthless.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clenched her sleeves tightly.

Ye Wenxuan patted Ye Zhengping on the shoulder, and then walked slowly towards his yard. Ye Fugui watched his leaving back, his eyes were sour, and tears welled up.

She looked back at Ye Zhaoyan, and gently grabbed her wrist: "Zhaoyan, is there something important about to happen, my mother is always uneasy"

Ye Zhaoyan was silent.Grandpa acted like this, as if he was asking for help.

And what Emperor Donglin did was obviously trying to kill two birds with one stone.

He was sure that for the sake of the people in the southern border, his grandfather would not stand idly by, and would definitely take orders to go.

As for what will happen after the matter is completed, she is not sure if that person is going to take advantage of the chaos in the southern border to kill him.

She will never tolerate such a thing to happen.
