Chapter 341
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Another confidant hurriedly wiped his sweat, "The direction of the enemy's attack was very tricky. Our scouts led a group of people and were ambushed as soon as they approached the camp. The whole army was wiped out, so they were left alone. Meet Marven Ye."

"Since there is no news of Marven Ye's death, why are they so arrogant, beating you two cities in a row?!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." The Grand Master who was standing on the side suddenly stepped forward and cupped his hands to comfort him, "Since the rebels have not retreated, why is Your Majesty so eager to get rid of the Ye family? In my humble opinion, we might as well mobilize the Ye family army to defend against the enemy."

Emperor Donglin took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

The grand master added: "If your majesty really wants to get rid of the Ye family army, after a month, when the Nanyan people retreat to Yuancheng, your majesty can order the army to abandon the city, block the checkpoints, and trap Ye Wenxuan in Yuancheng, why bother?" Planning, in a hurry?"

Emperor Donglin sat down slowly after hearing the words, his eyes dimmed.

"Report to Your Majesty." A servant's shrill voice sounded outside the door.

"What's the matter?"

"There was news from the palace that Ye Zhaoyan met Lin Qingshou at the gate of the palace with a token."

After the servant finished speaking, he bowed and stepped back.

Emperor Donglin sneered, "He's a bold one."

His smile was sinister and cruel, making everyone silent.

The grand master said: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised. Although Ye Zhaoyan is a woman, she has followed Ye Wenxuan for several years after all. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, her personality is more bold and open-minded than a man, and she is quite like Ye Wenxuan. Loyalty is very comparable."

"Hmph!" Emperor Donglin flicked his sleeves, "I want to see what skills she has."

In the middle of the night, thick smog floated in the dark sky, like water stains rendered by ink, blocking the bright moonlight.

"Bang!" Huge thunder and lightning tore through the sky. Accompanied by deafening muffled noises and flashes of lightning, streaks of dazzling white light shone on the city wall, like thousands of silver snakes swimming and writhing.

The winter was originally bitter, mixed with rain and snow, whistling past, blowing on the body like a knife cut, cold to the bone, making people tremble uncontrollably.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Ye Zhaoyan and four guards quietly met Lin Qingshou at the palace gate.

The chief of the imperial hospital was a strong man with fine features and a little pride in his eyes. He was wearing an ordinary blue gown. When he saw Ye Zhaoyan, he immediately went up to him.

He cupped his hands and said, "Miss Ye."

After Ye Zhaoyan expressed his intention in the future, Lin Qingshou immediately looked serious and said, "I'm afraid this matter is a bit tricky.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned slightly: "Mr. Lin, please advise."

"I don't know why, the Grand Hospital took my palace card away at night, and I haven't seen anyone bring it yet. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to leave the palace rashly at this time."

Lin Qingshou sighed, and persuaded softly, "Patriarch Ye is a pillar of the imperial court. If Miss Ye has a heart, you might as well wait until dawn and let your Majesty decide. Otherwise, someone who has a heart will grab the handle and the gain will outweigh the loss. How about it? "

Ye Zhaoyan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately figured out the key point, then nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for reminding me."

When Ye Zhaoyan was about to do another calculation, several figures in Ye Yu revealed their true faces.

He is a servant in the palace.Judging from the clothes, the grade is not low.

"Miss Ye, Your Majesty welcomes you."

Ye Zhaoyan and Lin Qingshou looked at each other, and immediately turned around and rushed to the main hall.

The door of the hall was wide open, and the candles were brightly lit.

"The courtiers see Your Majesty."

"Miss Ye," said Donglin Emperor sitting on the throne in the main hall, "I thought of your grandfather's contribution and specially left you in Jindu to enjoy the glory and wealth. How could you be so disturbed that you broke into my palace gate in the middle of the night?"

Ye Zhaoyan bowed his head: "Your Majesty's gift, my Ye family is very grateful. However, the soldiers who shed blood for the Ye family are in danger, how can we turn a blind eye to it? Loyalty depends on the best of both worlds, and it cannot be lacking because of me."

"Heh, you are loyal." Emperor Donglin sarcastically said, "But I don't know if the Ye family's army training outside the city gate is also loyal like this?"

"The Ye family's army is dedicated to serving the country, and has never had a second heart." Ye Zhaoyan raised his head, as if he had expected the other party's reaction, and looked into his dark eyes frankly, "I dare to guarantee my life, the Ye family's actions yesterday are no collusion with the enemy suspected."

After a long silence, Emperor Donglin suddenly smiled and waved back: "Since you have this loyalty, I won't pursue it any longer. However, if you really want to take Lin Qingshou away from me, it's not impossible." He paused After a pause, "You need to show your sincerity."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"As long as you are willing to relieve my worries."

Ye Zhaoyan's heart skipped a beat.

"I remember that your grandfather was the most outstanding general in his early years. He was even as famous as the number one general in the Chongji Kingdom. He made great military exploits for me. Now that the Ye family has been reduced to this point, there is no such thing as a big family. Back then, I Disregarding your lintel, intending to marry you to Prince Qing as a concubine to show respect and importance to your Ye family, who would have expected you to be ungrateful and let me down."

"My daughter is ashamed of her love for His Majesty, she is really not worthy of marrying King Qing."

"Huh, I don't know good and bad!" Emperor Donglin sternly said, "I think of your grandfather fighting for the country, and I can't bear to be harsh, but you are so stubborn and deceitful! You can ask the people of Tianlu, whoever cares about you?" Wang Du is one of the few good matches, if it were another woman, how could he refuse? You don't know how to cherish you when I praise you like this, it is a waste of my compassion!"

The respectful look on Ye Zhaoyan's face disappeared in the wind, and it was frosty.Donglin Emperor's heartbroken appearance, if people who don't know it look at it, I'm afraid they will sigh again that the king is like this, and he is worthy of being enshrined in this life.

"Forget it, I will give you a chance today. If you agree, you can take Lin Qingshou away today. When the Nanyan war is successful and King Qing returns, you can have a grand wedding. And, I promise you the prosperity of the Ye family for generations!"

Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan didn't even move his brows, he turned angry again, "If you don't want to, you can go back to Ye's house and think about it behind closed doors. I don't want to talk nonsense with you, lest I get angry and hurt myself."

Ye Zhaoyan pursed the corners of his lips tightly, his cheeks were tense, and a struggle flashed in his eyes, as if he was stumped.

After a long while, she finally knelt down to salute, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. However, there are important matters ahead, and my daughter may not want to get married. I hope His Majesty can grant my daughter's request."

"tell me the story."

"I beseech Your Majesty's grace, allow me to go to Nanyan as a major general of the Ye family. If the battle is successful and my grandfather returns safely, my servants will come to this hall again and let Your Majesty marry me."

"Oh?" Emperor Donglin raised his eyebrows, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand the person, you are indeed a loyal and filial person. But what's the point of rushing to Jiangnan at this moment?"

"Grandfather has been missing for many days. I am afraid that the war will change. King Qing and others will struggle to deal with it. You might as well ask the courtiers to go to meet grandfather."

Emperor Donglin squinted his long and narrow phoenix eyes, "General Ye has been fighting for many years, and there are countless more dangerous ones than this one. He only has the sky, so why do you need to worry about it? Just stay in Tianlu and wait for marriage in peace."
