The man turned around and said something calmly, while the woman's eyes widened in disbelief......

At the same time, Shangguan Mingyue took advantage of the darkness of the night to take Gu Qianye to hide in the dark place by the flower bed very close to the two.

Gu Qianye was about to exclaim when a big hand covered her mouth, and his voice sounded in her head, "Little baby, don't make a sound, my father is here, see how my father will deal with this matter?"

Sure enough, as Shangguan Mingyue's words fell, a familiar voice sounded in front of him, "Concubine Ming, what are you doing?"

The woman who was called Concubine Ming was stunned for two seconds, then knelt on the ground with a bang, and exclaimed again and again, "Your Majesty, the concubine should die, the concubine should die!"

Bai Ye frowned and looked at the man in brocade clothes on the side.

The man's expression changed slightly, and he immediately bent down and saluted, "Zhong Yu has seen the emperor!"

"Zhong Yu!" Bai Ye was slightly stunned, as if searching for information about Zhong Yu in his mind.

Zhong Yu immediately added on the side, "The minister is the third son of Zhong Hai, the head of the household department!"

Bai Ye nodded, and he understood.

Today is the wedding banquet he set up to find a thousand nights, and people with a little status in the court have come to the palace.

It's just that......

"Zhong Yu, you don't drink and have fun with everyone in the front hall, what are you doing in the harem?"

When he said this, Bai Ye's gaze moved to Concubine Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, "Concubine Ming, what the hell is going on?" Didn't I say that there is no special matter, and you are not allowed to leave the courtyard?"

Concubine Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly, and she looked at Zhong Yu who was standing aside from time to time.

Zhong Yu put his eyes at his feet, as if he didn't see Concubine Ming's eyes asking for help.

Seeming to realize something?

Bai Ye's handsome face is getting colder and colder, and the majesty of his body cannot be ignored.

"Do you know her?" Bai Ye turned his head to Zhong Yu and pointed to Concubine Ming on the ground.

With Bai Ye's words, everyone, including Concubine Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, and Gu Qianye, who was held in Shangguan Mingyue's arms, fixed their eyes on Zhong Yu's face.

Zhong Yu looked at Concubine Ming, her eyes were not shocked, her voice was also calm and waveless, and she simply spit out three ruthless words, "I don't know!"

When Concubine Ming heard this, she sat on the ground as soon as her body became weak, and her hand under the long sleeves was tightly clenched into a fist.

"I really don't know?" Bai Ye's voice was questioning, and then he turned his gaze to the woman on the ground, "Concubine Ming, do you know Zhong Yu?"

It is said that women's feelings are more delicate, more intimate, and more considerate of each other, even if they sacrifice themselves, they must protect the lover in their hearts.

Concubine Ming at this time is like this.

She looked at Bai Ye, then moved her gaze to Zhong Yu, and after a long time, she said slowly, "Back to the emperor, the concubine doesn't know!"

"Since you don't know, why did you kneel down and say ...... just now" Although Bai Ye's question was not finished, everyone understood what he meant.

She lowered her head and whispered, "The concubine went against your will and went out of the courtyard without permission.

"Let's get up!" Bai Ye waved his hand, "It's cold on the ground, go back and take a hot bath, go to the cold, so as not to get sick!"

"Zhong Yu, it's not too early this day, you can go back too!" Bai Ye waved his hand at Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu immediately saluted and left.

"Come out!" After Concubine Ming and Zhong Yu left, Bai Ye stood in place, looking thoughtfully at the brilliant road ahead.

"Father, what a coincidence! You're here too!" Shangguan Mingyue walked out of the darkness with Gu Qianye in her arms, and greeted Bai Ye with a smile on her face.

Bai Ye's eyes were on Shangguan Mingyue's hand on Gu Qianye's waist, and he looked up and asked Gu Qianye, "Okay!"

Gu Qianye smiled, "Okay!"

"Go and sit with me!" Bai Ye invited the two.

In the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Gu Qianye and Shangguan Mingyue were sitting opposite Bai Ye, who was gently shaking the fragrant tea in his hand.

"Father, why did you let those two go?" Shangguan Mingyue asked as she stared at Bai Ye for a moment.

Without saying a word, Bai Ye walked to the bookcase on the side, took out a book placed in the middle, and under the close gaze of the two of them, he took out a piece of rice paper sandwiched in the book and handed it to Shangguan Mingyue, "Look at this!"

Shangguan Mingyue took the rice paper and looked at it suspiciously.

On the rice paper are the names of each person, about thirty or forty, and each name corresponds to the situation of each family.

Many of the names have been circled in red and crossed out.

"What are these?" When he asked this, Shangguan Mingyue had already vaguely guessed what it was?

"Don't you know?" Bai Ye pulled back the rice paper in Shangguan Mingyue's hand, picked up the red pen on the side and circled Li Mingxiu's name.

"Li Mingxiu is the woman just now?" Shangguan Mingyue asked curiously.

Bai Ye nodded, and Shangguan Mingyue continued to ask puzzled, "What are you doing with a red pen to circle it?"

Bai Ye said calmly, "She's going to die." ”

Gu Qianye was shocked, what happened just now, it was not the woman who was wrong, why did she bear the sin alone, "You want to kill her?"

Bai Ye shook his head, "I won't kill her, but she will die." ”

Shangguan Mingyue looked at Bai Ye's action of putting the pen, "They all committed suicide." ”

Before Bai Ye could answer, Gu Qianye had already spoken on the side, "You can save her." ”

"I can't save her!" Bai Ye shook his head, "From the moment they stepped into the palace gate, no one could save them. ”

Gu Qianye was a little confused, but she seemed to understand a little.

"Father, dismiss them!" Shangguan Mingyue said thoughtfully beside him.

Bai Ye smiled bitterly, "That's not for me to decide!"

Before entering the palace, they all knew what the outcome would be, but they still came like moths to a fire. ”

"They can't help themselves!" Shangguan Mingyue said, "Father, you know. ”

Bai Ye didn't say anything, and Shangguan Mingyue continued, "You put their family backgrounds under their names, don't you know their difficulties?"

"What if you know?" Bai Ye smiled bitterly disapprovingly, "Am I not one of the victims?"

Speaking of this, Bai Ye turned his head to Gu Qianye, "Ye'er has been thrown away from us since childhood, isn't it because of them?"

Shangguan Mingyue groaned, "You are also at fault!"

"What's wrong with me?" Bai Ye asked unconvinced.

"They were sent by their families with a mission, and not only did I never blame them for having different intentions, but I did my best to meet their needs and give them the best material possible. ”

"To them, I almost always respond to their needs. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Ye's face overflowed with anger, "What was wrong with me?"

"Your fault is that you don't have a heart!" Shangguan Mingyue was also angry, "What they want is not the so-called material needs you give, they want you as a person." ”

"Dismiss them!" Shangguan Mingyue spoke again, "Why have you wronged them, and you have wronged yourself." ”

Bai Ye laughed, "How is it possible?"

Shangguan Mingyue stopped talking, and sighed after a long time, "You shouldn't give them hope." ”

From beginning to end, Gu Qianye sat silently on the side and did not make a sound.
