Ji Shu helped Song Yi'an back to the bedroom, properly arranged for him to lie down and rest, touched his forehead full of cold sweat, and said, "Don't sleep first, I have porridge simmering on the stove, you drink a bowl, and then take medicine." ”

Song Yi'an took Ji Shu's hand when she was about to leave in a hurry and said, "Sister, I have something to say to you." ”

Song Yi'an opened his mouth to speak, which made Ji Shu a little surprised. Although Song Yi'an only talked to Ji Heng and Ji Shu's grandson, he hadn't said a few words in total for ten years. In the eyes of outsiders, Song Yi'an, the seventh prince, is a mute, and Song Yi'an played the role of "dumb" to the end.

But he pretended to be mute, in addition to not wanting to be coerced and lured by Song Xu to ask about the whereabouts of Emperor Zhou Ai and Zhongwuwei, there was a more important reason, which was to avenge his mother, Emperor Zhaoyang.

So you have to ask, what does revenge have to do with pretending to be dumb? You will know it when you listen to Song Yi'an's voice.

It was a delicate, soft, gentle voice, a voice unique to girls.

Song Xu's Seven Princes, the blood and bones of Emperor Zhaoyang, and the common "shame" of the Zhou Dynasty and the Yi Dynasty, Song Yi'an, turned out to be a girl!

This matter has to start from 16 years ago.

Emperor Zhaoyang gave birth to a baby girl in a small village outside Tongguan. Emperor Ji felt that this child was a shame for her life and a curse for the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, so at the beginning of the child's birth, she decided to put her to death.

But the child's uncle, Emperor Zhou Ai Ye Ziyou, prevented this tragedy from happening. He hugged the baby girl who was crying happily and said to his sister: "The child has experienced the cycle of life and death, and finally got to see the sun, since she chose her sister, she is destined for her sister, as a mother, how can my sister bear to kill her?"

Ye Zixi, the Zhaoyang Emperor who cried into tears, looked haggard, and said with a sob: "I was confused by traitorous ministers, causing the Ye family to lose the country, and I am a sinner through the ages. This child is the son of sinners and is not meant to live. ”

Ye Ziyou shook his head and said: "The hatred of the country and the family are all the grievances of the previous generation, what is the sin of this child? ”

Ye Zixi said: "Even if I want to keep her, if I am caught by Song Xu in the future, with Song Xu's temperament, will I keep her? Sooner or later, she will die, why let her be tortured in the future? Your Majesty, I will protect her for a while, but I can't save her for the rest of my life." ”

"Why are you so pessimistic?" Ye Ziyou looked at the little doll crying in his arms, and his heart was full of emotion and joy for no reason, "The world is unpredictable, maybe, this child can bring us blessings." ”

"Where is the blessing in the crisis?"

Ye Ziyou said: "Now is a critical moment to boost morale. Sister, why don't we just say that you gave birth to a baby boy, following the mother's surname, for the Ye family's royal family, and designated as the prince. We named her Yi'an, Ye Yi'an. Under our protection, she will surely grow up easily and safely. ”

It's a pity that Ye Ziyou's beloved little girl didn't have such good luck in the end. In the years that followed, Ye Ziyou quietly infiltrated Chang'an with Zhongwuwei, waiting for an opportunity to avenge the destruction of the country. They created a series of assassinations and chaos, and also designed to kill Emperor Taizu of the Yi Dynasty, which made Chang'an panic and annoyed Song Xu.

The arrest of the Yi Dynasty was much more fierce than the assassination of the Zhongwuwei, not only the Zhongwuwei guards were arrested and killed, but countless innocent people were also captured and killed. A terrifying atmosphere enveloped Chang'an City, and everyone was in danger.

The situation was beyond Ye Ziyou's control, and he didn't expect Song Xu to kill so recklessly. It was too dangerous to stay in this small manor outside the bamboo forest on the outskirts of Beijing, so he decided to withdraw from Chang'an.

But it is not easy to withdraw from Chang'an. There are portraits of capturing Ye Ziyou and Ye Zixi everywhere, and the entire Chang'an City is like a bag that is about to be tightened at the exit, dangerous and terrifying.

What to do?

On that day, Ye Yi'an, who was only six years old, and Wei Kexun, the daughter of Wei Tianxiong, the deputy commander of Zhongwuwei, came back from outside, with a search warrant for Ye Zixi in their hands.

More than 20 men were discussing ways to get out of the city around Ye Ziyou, and when they heard the squeak of the door, they were all startled, and several people's knives were already unsheathed.

When these "frightened birds" stabilized their minds, the anger surged. They didn't dare to blame Ye Yi'an in front of Ye Ziyou, so Wei Kexun, who was holding the search warrant, became the target of their anger.

Especially Wei Tianxiong, his voice was loud and earth-shattering, and he said: "Stinky girl, adults are discussing important matters, what are you doing here?"

Others also said, "Hurry up, this is not the place for you." ”

But Ye Yi'an pulled Wei Kexun and did not leave. Not only did he not leave, but he also walked to the center of the crowd.

Ye Yi'an raised his little face to Ye Ziyou and said, "Uncle, you want to go out of the city, right?"

Although Ye Ziyou is full of anxiety, in front of Ye Yi'an, he always has a loving side. He squatted down, tidied up Ye Yi'an's messy pigtails, and said, "Chang'an is not safe, and my uncle will take everyone out of the city." ”

Ye Yi'an asked: "There are so many of us, are we going out?"

Ye Ziyou's eyes flickered for a moment, then he turned to Ye Yi'an and smiled miserably, saying, "Try it to the death." ”

Ye Yi'an looked around at the people around him, and finally put his warm little hand on Ye Ziyou's still childish face, and said, "Uncle, I have an idea, do you want to listen to it." ”

Ye Yi'an came into contact with life and death prematurely, and he had long regarded evacuation as a matter of course. Ye Ziyou felt sorry for her, held her in his arms, and really asked her opinion: "My Yi'an has a way? Let's hear it." ”

Ye Yi'an said: "I look at the portraits posted on the street, my mother's is far more than my uncle's, and my uncle's portrait is not like it at all. So, uncle, as long as my mother and I stay here and find someone to report to the officer, we can attract the main force of officers and soldiers. When the time comes, it will be much easier for my uncle to take everyone to dress up as merchants or funeral processions, and it will be much easier to get out of the city. ”

Ye Ziyou was stunned, he looked at Ye Yi'an's flickering big eyes and asked, "Who taught you this?"

"I thought it myself, right?" Ye Yi'an said.

"No, of course not!" Ye Ziyou said, "Uncle just left himself here, and he can't leave his sister and you!"

Ye Yi'an held Ye Ziyou's cheek and said, "But my mother said that you are more important than her." Uncle, let's go. ”

"No! Don't say anything like this in the future! I can't leave you behind!" Ye Ziyou's face turned white, and his eyes widened.

At this moment, a beautiful shadow floated in from outside the door, it was Ye Zixi. She has long lost the elegance of being an emperor, but time and tribulation have not detracted from her nobility. She stepped in and gently closed the door. A simple action condensed everyone's eyes in one place.

Ye Zixi stood in front of Ye Ziyou and said, "From the moment I met Song Xu, I was destined to be a sinner. After so many years of living, I still haven't found the meaning of life. At this moment, I found it. ”
