Chapter 233 The Time for Revenge Has Come

After lunch, Nan Xi and Rong Yu rested in the inner hall. The servant informed Mr. Yun that he wanted to see him. Rong Yu was massaging Nan Xi's calves. Hearing this, he only said: "Let him go to the study and wait."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingcheng walked in: "When did the Prince Regent become a wife slave?"

Rong Yu frowned slightly and said in an indifferent tone: "Get out."

Ye Qingcheng raised his eyebrows.

go out?

She glanced at Nan Xi, who was half lying on the bed, and suddenly understood, okay, this is to wait for her beloved wife to take a nap.

"Rong Yu." Nan Xi sat up from the bed and stopped Rong Yu's movements, "Mr. Yun probably has something serious to say. You go and take a look first. I'll chat with Princess Qingcheng for a while."

Rong Yu was silent for a moment and then said, "Don't be too tired. If you feel sleepy, just take a nap. I'll be back soon."

Nan Xi nodded.

Rong Yu then turned around and walked out.

Nan Xi stood up and walked out of the inner hall, calling Ye Qingcheng: "Princess, don't take it to heart, Rong Yu -"

"I know that my beloved wife is a treasure, and everyone else is just straw." Ye Qingcheng joked, walked to the low couch next to the screen and sat down, "The regent really loves the princess to the core."

Nan Xi asked Haitang to serve tea and smiled softly: "Isn't it the same between you and Mr. Yun?"

Ye Qingcheng said calmly: "Yunting's temper, if I don't force him, I will never wait for him to come back to me on his own initiative in this life."

Nan Xi said: "Master Yun has a gentle temperament, which is different from Rong Yu."

It's really not the same.

Ye Qingcheng took a sip of tea quietly and said lightly: "We are going back."

Um?

Nan Xi looked at her in surprise: "Go back?"

"Yes." Ye Qingcheng nodded, "Yunting went to see the regent just to talk about this matter. I came here today to say goodbye to you. We plan to return to Shu first."

Nan Xi said nothing because she didn't know what to say.

"Shu is currently experiencing civil strife. Ye Yan was taken away by Jiuxiao Pavilion. His life and death are unknown. The emperor's health is deteriorating. The other princes of Shu will not let go of this excellent opportunity. They only wish that Ye Yan died outside." Ye Qingcheng held the tea cup and said calmly, "This is also an opportunity for Yunting and me."

Nan Xi pondered: "A chance for revenge?"

Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Yes, a chance for revenge."

"Have you thought about it?"

"I have thought about it a long time ago." Ye Qingcheng smiled lightly, with a calm expression, "I am a cold-blooded person. Although I was born in the royal family, I did not feel any blood and affection from the royal family. Instead, Yunting brought it to me. The most warmth, he wants revenge, my position is very firm."

After a pause, "Although I have a domineering temper and a bad temper, I am essentially just a narrow-minded little woman. I only see the love of my children and my own happiness in my eyes. I don't want to care about the interests of my family and country." , I don’t care who becomes the emperor, I just want him to be happy.”

Nan Xi understood what she meant.

In order to get Yunting to take revenge, she did not hesitate to make the entire Shu royal family an enemy.

"Actually, I don't have a choice." Ye Qingcheng casually lowered his eyes and chuckled, "The Yun family was once the number one family of generals in the Shu Kingdom. They held the power of 300,000 soldiers and horses. They protected the borders of the Shu Kingdom with impregnable strength for ten years. However, their achievements were so great. The earthquake master and the disagreement with the king finally aroused the king's murderous intention. "

Nan Xi was surprised.

Putting down the tea cup, Ye Qingcheng raised his eyes and looked at Nan Xi: "I told you before that because my mother died when I was young, I stayed alone in the palace with no one to rely on. I also hated the intrigue and deceitful environment, so I was withdrawn and gloomy. I am willing to be close to anyone, and then I met Yunting. This jade-like and flawless young man made me see the sunshine. I loved staying with him, seeing his smile, and seeing the blue sea and blue sky in his eyes. Pure luster.”

As he spoke, the corners of Ye Qingcheng's lips raised slightly, and there was a hint of a smile on his face: "I am domineering by nature, so when I see such a young man who makes me happy, how can I let him go? I simply let him be my sidekick." Guard."

Nan Xi was a little surprised: "The royal family is strict, don't they need to avoid the suspicion between men and women?"

"Dislike between men and women?" Ye Qingcheng said calmly, "My palace is isolated from the world. Although I am not favored, but with the blessing of the Feng Clan bloodline, no one in the palace really dares to mess with me. The queen and concubines are all here. Knowing that I am withdrawn and difficult to get close to, they all treat me as if I don't exist. Anyway, I am just a weak princess, not involved in the crown prince dispute, and have no strong background to rely on. Even if I do some deviant things, they don't bother to pay attention. "

Nan Xi nodded thoughtfully, but she also understood in her heart that the so-called harem dispute was about the king's favor when she was young, and the position of the queen and the fourth concubine. The position of emperor.

A truly smart person will not waste too much meaningless time arguing with a princess who has lost her mother and concubine.

"But an accident four years ago ruined the beautiful relationship between me and Yunting overnight." Ye Qingcheng's smile faded slightly, his expression cold and calm, and his voice gradually became colder, "The Yun family's father and brother were at the border. They were framed to death and were accused of collaborating with the enemy. None of the loyal generals survived. When the news came back to the Imperial Capital that night, Mrs. Yun and the sister-in-law of the Yun family fainted on the spot as if they were struck by lightning. "

Nan Xi frowned: "Charge of collaborating with the enemy?"

Ye Qingcheng hummed: "Yunting was so anxious that he almost went crazy. In the cold winter months, I poured a bucket of cold water over his head to calm him down. Afterwards, he felt that something was fishy. After settling his mother and sister-in-law, I asked him to go to the border to find out the truth, and the emperor agreed. I felt uneasy and gave him the few reliable guards around me to protect his safety. "

Nan Xi pursed her lips slightly and was speechless for a moment.

All words pale in comparison to the pain of losing a loved one.

"But we were all too young at that time and didn't know how dangerous and vicious the human heart is. Yunting spent more than half a year finding out the truth, but was assassinated on the way back and almost lost his life. He was later saved by the regent." Ye Qingcheng's tone paused slightly, and crystal water vapor seemed to appear in the corners of his eyes. "Later, a huge fire burned down the Yun family's mansion. Mrs. Yun, Yunting's sister-in-law, and all the servants were killed in the fire."

Nan Xi's expression condensed slightly. After hearing this, she already understood that this conspiracy to kill should be the emperor's plan.

Sure enough, the king is ruthless and treats his loyal ministers without any charges. All he needs to do is "his achievements shock the master" can be used as a reason to kill someone.

"After Yunting disappeared, I secretly searched for him for three years." Ye Qingcheng raised his head and looked at the fluttering branches and leaves outside the window, with a cool color in his eyes. "The Emperor of Shu also sent many people to look for him, but he still couldn't. The person who found Yunting.”

Nan Xi frowned and thought for a moment: "Rong Yu said that when Mr. Yun was rescued, he had many new injuries on his body."
