Chapter 234 The Secret Cannot Be Revealed
Ye Qingcheng's eyes raised a cold arc, and his calm tone could not hide the coldness: "I will continue to find out what happened back then. This time I return to Shu Kingdom to settle the previous matters."
None of the people involved can escape. They need to die for the innocent people of the Yun family who died, they need to be buried with them for the soldiers who died innocently and tragically while defending their home and country, and they need to pay for the worries she has endured every day and night in the past three years. Torture pays.
A familiar pain arose in Nan Xi's heart. The most common reason for the royal family's calculations and frame-ups was "high achievements to shock the master", and the most commonly used charges were "collaboration with the enemy and treason, disobedience". If it weren't for Rong Yushou in his previous life, Holding power made Rong Chuyun jealous, so how could he be plotted step by step by those with sinister intentions?
The words "power and interests" are stained with the blood of too many people, and they also bury too many people's grievances and sorrows.
She could undo the tragedy of her previous life once she was reborn, but Yunting could never see those close relatives again. Who else could feel the heartbreak except himself?
"In fact, I have been afraid these years. I am afraid that I will never hear from him again, that he is no longer alive, and that he will turn his hatred of the royal family on me, although I am not innocent." Ye Qingcheng laughed at himself. Laughing, "With the blood of the royal family of Shu flowing in your body, who can say that you are innocent?"
Nan Xi came back to her senses and said warmly: "Fortunately, Mr. Yun finally understands your thoughts."
"It's not easy for him either." Ye Qingcheng held the tea cup, his eyes a little blurry, "People often realize their incompetence only when they are helpless. I always thought that I could get a pure land and live a quiet life by staying away from those power disputes. Days passed, but the misfortune of the Yun family made me realize how naive my thoughts were. They did not die because of me. However, if I was strong enough, even if I could not protect the Yun family's father and brother who were far away at the border, I could at least protect my mother. Protect them with your sister-in-law instead of letting them die in the flames."
As long as there is a relative still there, for Yunting, at least there is still something to think about.
But when the huge fire in the Yun family burned the entire house to ashes, Yunting didn't even have a chance to come back and see his mother.
Ye Qingcheng has never experienced the feeling of family affection since she was a child, and the pain of losing a loved one is far less profound. But she can't imagine how Yunting went through that period of time, and she also doesn't know how she survived that hardship. three years.
Nan Xi thought of the day Ye Qingcheng and Yunting met for the first time, and frowned, "Have you ever mentioned that you picked up a child before?"
Ye Qingcheng shook his head and chuckled: "Where did you pick it up? That's Yunting's nephew."
"His brother's son?"
"Yes." Ye Qingcheng nodded, "His brother was barely standing when he was killed, and he only had a son. This child is also a fortune teller. When the Yun family was on fire, he was taken with me by my side and he luckily escaped."
As he spoke, he sighed slightly: "After all, he left a bloodline for his brother. I don't know if I should thank this child. The crack between Yunting and I has to be repaired by the child."
Nan Xi guessed that Ye Qingcheng might have wanted to look at this child to soothe his anxious thoughts about Yunting's life and death in those days, but unexpectedly, he saved his life.
"Yunting thought that the fire killed everyone in the Yun family. In fact, it was not just him. Even the man sitting on the dragon chair also thought that no one in the Yun family survived, except for Yunting, who is still missing."
A mocking smile appeared on Ye Qingcheng's lips, "Prince Ye Yan and his queen mother were one of the culprits. In order to stabilize their position, they contributed a lot and killed the general of the Yun family and replaced them with their own relatives to take charge of the troops. Daquan, there was civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty two years ago. The prince's uncle thought this was an opportunity and proposed to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty and expand the territory. However, he did not expect to be defeated at the hands of your husband in the battle with the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is really retribution. "
Nan Xi nodded understandingly.
No wonder Ye Yan was kidnapped on his way back to Shu from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yunting's revenge started directly with Ye Yan. At this time, they chose to go back to Shu, and they obviously had a careful plan.
"Thank you and the Regent for the hospitality these days." Ye Qingcheng smiled faintly, "I will come here again when I have the opportunity... Well, when we find time, maybe we will not come to Dazhou, but to visit the Queen in Dongling. Your Majesty."
Nan Xi laughed: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future."
"In order to thank the Regent for his kindness to Yunting in the past three years, I will tell you something." Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, "Have you ever doubted why the Regent was so good to you? So good that it puzzles you? "
Nan Xi was slightly startled, then nodded: "It's indeed a bit strange, but I don't doubt his intentions."
"What's the point?" Ye Qingcheng smiled, "It's just because we love too deeply and are too persistent, so we always worry about gains and losses... If someone says something specious in front of you in the future, don't believe it. That's right, Rong Yucong I haven’t done anything bad to you.”
Nan Xi frowned slightly: "You mean someone will sow discord?"
"Whether it is true or not, you have to believe in your own feelings." Ye Qingcheng stood up and said, "The secret must not be leaked. In the past few years, I have used a lot of strange magic that I shouldn't have for Yunting. I am really afraid that one day I will be punished by the law of heaven. "
Seeing that she was about to leave, Nan Xi stood up and saw her off: "Don't worry, the relationship between Rong Yu and I is as solid as a rock, and we will not listen to others' instigation."
Some things can be known if you want to know them, and it doesn't matter if you don't know them. She won't force it. If the truth will affect their feelings, she would rather know nothing.
Ye Qingcheng hummed and walked out with Nan Xi: "Some things should be known to you when the time comes. He will let you know. If he doesn't say it now, maybe he just hasn't figured out how to say it."
Nan Xi only said three words: "I believe him."
Walking out of the palace, he raised his eyes and saw Yin Yue rushing from a distance. He soon came to him with a strange expression: "Princess."
Nan Xi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"There is something... Ahem, I have something to tell the princess." Yin Yue cleared his throat, "I just went out and heard something very interesting."
Very interesting?
Nan Xi and Ye Qingcheng looked at each other, deeply suspecting that Yin Yue was deliberately playing a riddle at this time.
"What's going on?"
"The Prime Minister's Mansion... Oh no, Lord Nan is no longer the Prime Minister. His concubine Nan Jiao, your concubine sister, Princess, last night..." Yin Yue paused, flew up the stone steps in front of the palace, walked in front of Nan Xi and whispered, "Last night, she gave herself to the Northern Frontier Crown Prince Duanmu Yu."
