Ye Chen's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

The thought raced through his mind.

Since the empress said so, it said at least one thing.

They are not brothers and sisters!

Judging by the empress's words, they met quite a few times.

The empress was talking about when she was a child.

As we all know, when the empress was young, she was in a state of seclusion.

At that time, no one knew that she would be the daughter of the first emperor.

Ye Chen felt that when they met, it was probably the time when the empress was still in seclusion.

According to legend, the empress grew up in a small mountain village in a remote area when she was a child, and it was not until she was ten years old that the first emperor died, the prince ascended the throne, and the king of Ming rebelled, killed the prince, and established herself as the emperor.

From the age of ten to the age of twenty-two three years ago, the whereabouts of the empress have been uncertain in the past 12 years.

Ye Chen didn't think that he and the empress would meet during this time.

So, it can only be before the age of ten.

And the empress said that when he was a child, he still pestered the empress, saying that he would marry her when he grew up, and the age gap between him and the empress was not big, he was young and ignorant at that time, and the empress would not be too big.

"So, I'm from the village where the empress lived when she was a child?"

Ye Chen's heart moved slightly.

"Looks like you really don't remember. ”

The empress sighed lightly, her tone slightly regretful.

Ye Chen didn't speak.

He also wanted to remember that when he was a child, he and the empress had this kind of story, and he was very curious.

However, he really can't remember!

He also regrets that he failed to inherit the memory of the original owner.

"I'm sorry about the matter of Rokuha Village. ”

The empress's voice suddenly became low.

“？？？”

Ye Chen was a little unclear.

But he learned to be obedient, and he didn't show anything on his expression, and he didn't speak silently.

"The slaughter of Liuye Village is all because of me, and I feel guilty. ”

The empress said slowly, her tone slightly sad, "Although most of the rebels have been killed, there are still some who have fled to other countries and slaughtered the people of Liuye Village, and they have not died yet. ”

"I've been asking the secret agents to track down their whereabouts, but I still don't know, after all, it's not in Great Xia, it's very difficult...... Hope you understand. ”

Ye Chen nodded lightly and remained silent.

So that's it!

It was also the first time he knew the inside story.

It seems that he is really from the small mountain village where the empress stayed in her childhood, Liuye Village.

Today, however, the village no longer exists.

Slaughtered by rebels.

The reason doesn't need to be thought about, it must be because of the empress.

"And your brother's business......"

The empress suddenly spoke, making Ye Chen stunned again.

What?

I still have a brother?

This......

"You two brothers, probably the only remaining living mouth in Liuye Village, but your brother is ......"

The empress fell silent when she said this.

Ye Chen pursed his lips and didn't speak.

"When I was ten years old, my father died, the court was shocked, my identity was revealed, and I began to flee. ”

"Your brother has chosen to follow me, and over the years, he has been faithful and has saved me several times between life and death. ”

"I owe him a lot, and yet, I failed to protect him. ”

Ye Chen...... I'm sorry!"

At this time, the empress stood up and bowed to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: "......"

"So, my brother...... Dead?"

Ye Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Hmm. ”

The empress stood up straight, her head bowed, her voice low.

"When?"

Ye Chen took a deep breath and asked.

"Three years ago, when I returned to the country. ”

The empress pursed her lips and said, "At that time, the army entered Beijing, and King Ming knew that the general trend was gone, but he wanted to fight to the death, so he let a peak master of the Sky Realm attack and kill me. ”

At the critical moment, he stepped forward, blocked the sword, and then grappled with the enemy, eventually seriously injuring the enemy and causing him to flee. ”

But he himself was seriously injured and soon left. ”

Ye Chen was completely silent.

It turned out that the original owner still had such a life experience.

"People of Liuye Village, your relatives, your parents, your brother...... Die because of me, and I'm ashamed of all of you. ”

The empress lifted the veil and walked out.

Ye Chen finally saw her appearance clearly.

Extremely beautiful!

This is the first impression given by the empress.

As the outside world called, the empress's appearance is unparalleled through the ages, and it is not exaggerated.

But at this moment, Ye Chen just glanced at it, and his mood didn't fluctuate much.

He wasn't in that mood.

Just because of his identity in this life.

That's right, strictly speaking, he is not the original Ye Chen.

He is just a traverser, the dove occupies the magpie's nest, occupies other people's bodies, and uses other people's identities.

He has little to do with the so-called relatives, parents, and brothers.

However, he was still in a low mood.

Just because ......

Now he is Ye Chen.

Ye Chen of this world!

"Ye Chen, do you hate me?"

The empress walked up to Ye Chen lightly, looked at him, and her lips opened slightly.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he shook his head.

"Don't you really hate?"

The Empress asked.

"I don't know. ”

Ye Chen shook his head again.

Does he hate?

Don't hate.

Because he doesn't have that position.

Because he is not Ye Chen of this world, he doesn't even inherit his memory.

Therefore, he is not qualified to represent the original Ye Chen.

"Alas. ”

The Empress sighed softly.

"When your brother leaves, ask me to find you and take good care of you for him. ”

The empress said: "He said that after the slaughter of Liuye Village, he personally went to investigate, saying that you should not have been in the village at the beginning, and you may have escaped a catastrophe." ”

"He said if I found you, let me tell you that as a brother, he was sorry for not being able to protect you. ”

Ye Chen: "......"

His mood was a little complicated.

He could have watched from the sidelines, but he couldn't.

Because, at this time, he is enjoying the benefits left to him by his relatives.

"From now on, you will be my brother. ”

The empress turned around, turned to Ye Chen, looked outside, and said slowly, "In a few days, I will announce your identity at the court meeting." ”

"At that time, you will be the first and only prince of Great Xia. ”

"You are ready, when the time comes, I will have someone inform you and let you go to court. ”

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.

Rajah?

The first and only one?

This......

"This is my compensation to you. ”

The empress said, "Of course, I know that these things are very insignificant compared to what I owe you, but I still want to give you some compensation within the scope of my ability." ”

"Maybe you don't want it, but I beg you to take it. ”

"Because then, at least, I'll feel better. ”

Ye Chen: "......"

He sighed softly.

In this way, he really can't make a decision.

It's just that, after accepting these, then, you really can't stay out of it anymore.

Because this prince didn't earn it himself.

It's the people of Rokuba Village, his parents, relatives, and his brother, who left it to him.

This is a fact that he cannot hide with the system.

"Well, since you can't escape it, let's accept it!"

Ye Chen made up his mind in his heart, "Anyway, I also occupy other people's bodies and use other people's identities, so naturally I should also take on other people's responsibilities." ”

"Is the enemy still at large?"

"It's okay, one day, I will personally kill them and avenge you!"
