Chapter 293: I Knew Today Earlier, Regretted Not at the Beginning
Ye Xiqian stood behind him resignedly, his eyes secretly glanced at the person in front of him who was facing away from him, rubbing his hands nervously, looking like he wanted to say something.
He was afraid of this person.
It was because he was loyal to him. Whether it was sincere or not, he was afraid of him.
But it's not quite the same now. He clearly realized that standing in front of him again, there was less fear in the future, and more worry and fear. Afraid that he will be disappointed in him, afraid that he will be given up because he is not angry, afraid that he will see the fat that is about to arrive fly away from his eyes.
He realized that although the person in front of him was his younger brother, he was the future emperor. Everything he had, and the position of prince that was at his fingertips, would need to be obtained by this man in the future.
His identity is invisible. Although he is the son of the concubine, he can't be known to outsiders, otherwise once it spreads, it will be the end of the family and the extinction. But this matter was known, and he didn't dare to hide it.
Ye Shucheng's disgust at the moment was only because he had his back to Ye Xiqian, so he never concealed it.
The so-called brother, the so-called son of the concubine, that's just a joke. Ye Xiqian is indeed Li Suqing's biological son, this can't be faked, but in order to make the best use of things, he and his mother weaved such a lie, pointing out that he could be of great use, but he didn't want this idiot to be so wasteful, and before he could use him, he actually messed up the matter.
"This king has warned you again and again that this matter must not be done to outsiders. Do you hear the dog in the belly? What use do you say the king wants from you? If you want to do something, you will give this king's day a branch. Now that Ye Shilan has grabbed your handle in his hand, what do you say this king should do! Ye Shucheng's tone was full of anger.
"I never thought that this matter would be known to Fang Xiaoyu. And that smile provoked Shilan to turn against me...... "Ye Xiqian can't go on." If it weren't for his temporary intention to assassinate Li Suqing. led to the chaos of all plans, not to mention, but also caused him to be in a hurry, and it was inevitable that there would be omissions.
"This king doesn't want to listen to quibbles! Now that Ye Shilan has grabbed the handle in his hand, what is he going to see this king for, you know in your heart. How do you have a charter for how to resolve this matter? Ye Shucheng's mood was a little gloomy. As long as everything is related to Fang Xiaoyu, it will be very troublesome.
Ye Xiqian paused. As if he was having a hard time choosing something, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Only the dead don't reveal secrets." As he spoke, his hands crossed his neck. I made a cross-cutting motion.
"That's your sister, are you willing to do it?" Ye Shucheng sneered.
Ye Xiqian's eyes gradually became firmer: "If she keeps to herself, she can let her go, but she should not be insatiable because of this." She brought it on herself. I can't complain.
Ye Shucheng's eyes sank. patted Ye Xiqian's shoulder, and said seriously: "Now that you have enlightenment, you should be clean and beautiful, don't be caught by that smile anymore, otherwise, even this king and the mother concubine will not be able to save you." ”
"I know." Ye Xiqian has already made a decision.
"Hmm." Ye Shucheng's expression relaxed a little, and said: "Since you have already decided, this king may as well meet Ye Shilan today." See what she really wants to do. The king has granted all her requests for the time being. You should be quick in your work, and don't cause too much trouble to this king. ”
"Your Highness." Ye Xiqian breathed a sigh of relief, in short, Ye Shucheng didn't blame him too much, and it was a blessing.
At the same time, Ye Xiqian felt a little pity.
Originally, for the sake of Ye Shilan growing up with her as a brother and sister, he didn't plan to treat her well, on the contrary, if he got the throne of King An one day, he could treat her well, and it would be nothing to raise her as a sister.
An Wangfu's family has a big business, and he doesn't care about raising an idler, it's nothing more than more pairs of chopsticks.
But she didn't know what to do, not only threatened him, but also wanted to threaten the second prince.
This is her own death, and she can't blame others.
He didn't want to kill more, but she wanted to hit the wall of the ghost gate by herself.
At this moment, Ye Shilan is dressing up.
After a few days, her patience was running out.
She wants to see the second prince Ye Shucheng, and she needs to make an appointment with him through Ye Xiqian's hand. But Ye Xiqian has been delaying, and it was not until today that she finally got the news that the second prince was willing to see her.
Ye Shilan looked at herself in the mirror. White skin, red lips, a pair of eyebrows, eyes are smart, but the crooked nose destroys all beauty.
Ye Shilan reached out and took the rouge and applied it evenly on her face. The cold gaze in the mirror felt a little terrifying even to herself.
She laughed, laughing at her own downfall, laughing at herself that she had never been noble.
But if it was in the past, it would not be difficult to meet Ye Shucheng. Because her mother is loyal to Concubine Zhou, and she and Ye Xiqian have had no choice since they were born.
Ye Shucheng needs her beauty to seduce men for him and pave the way for him. At that time, she had not disfigured her appearance, and it was still useful to him, so they often went out together to participate in the banquets held by the young masters of various provinces. He talked and laughed with her, as if there was no so-called courtesy of a monarch and a minister in the first place, just like she was not a humble concubine in the first place.
And now? The appearance is no more, and the elegance is gone. To him, she had become a dispensable piece of chess.
He ruined her life in order to frame Fang Xiaoyu, this was not enough, he even dragged her brother to kill his mother with his own hands!
He wanted her life to be turned into a ridiculous farce. But he was too confident, so he decided that she didn't dare to retaliate against him?
Ye Shilan sneered, the corners of her mouth grinned, and the arc of the grin was very large, so big that she almost grinned to the root of her ears. But it wasn't because she wanted to laugh, but because she wanted to hide her urge to cry with such an expression.
"Miss, why are you doing this?" Lu Yuan looked at her young lady so sad, and felt distressed. She would rather Miss be the carefree and heartless girl she used to be, than she would have grown into such a distressing appearance in an instant.
"Green Garden. Is there any sign of improvement in my mother? Ye Shilan's eyes stared straight at the somewhat unfamiliar self in the mirror. She now always had the illusion that her soul was out of her shell, as if the person in the mirror was not herself at all. She couldn't see through the man in the mirror.
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Madame is still like that, except for breathing." There was no sign of waking up. Even the Imperial Physician can't tell when Madame will wake up......"
"Lu Yuan, mother won't wake up." Ye Shilan said suddenly.
"Miss?" Lu Yuan was shocked, and didn't understand why the young lady would say such a thing. Looking at her young lady's calm expression like a wood carving, she suddenly felt a fear emanating from her bones completely taking over her body.
The young lady in front of her began to blur, and then faded away. Obviously she was right in front of her, sitting there intact like that, looking at herself in the mirror with heavy makeup on her face. But she just felt as if she was going to lose her miss. She could even feel the young lady's fear, the fear she tried to hide with her almost cold face.
What exactly is Miss going to face? Could it be that the young master really wants to kill the young lady's mouth?
The young lady is his own sister, but he is really so mad. Don't you even let go of your own sister?
Lu Yuan suddenly felt frightened. Miss, is it because she has the consciousness of being extinguished, so she wants to see the second prince? She even had a plan that she might never come back, was she going to die generously?
No, never. Miss, she's so young. There are still a lot of good days to live. How can you die at the hands of these conspirators!
A face suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan's mind. She glanced at Ye Shilan worriedly, but thought in her heart that maybe the only person who could save Miss's life at this moment was that person.
"Miss, Jiren has his own natural appearance, Madame will be fine." Green Garden didn't know how to comfort her. She may have realized that any comfort now would only pale in comparison.
Ye Shilan put down the exquisite rouge box in her hand, and the smile on her face was a little stiff and said, "I know." I know. Mother won't wake up. Even if there is no Ye Xiqian's madness. My mother couldn't escape death. Fang Xiaoyu will not let her go, and Ye Xici will not let her go. Even if they were merciful enough to spare their mothers. But her mother knows too much, and Zhou Guifei and Ye Shucheng will not let her go. ”
Ye Shilan's eyes were filled with tears, but she only swirled in them, and she never fell. She laughed at herself, looked at the face in the mirror, which was no longer beautiful, and said, "If you knew today, why did you bother in the first place?" In those years, I followed my mother and brother, and I took pleasure in bullying Na Ye Xici. I hate him for taking the position of son-in-law, but my brother and I can only be condescended to be despised by others. ”
"But now that I think about it, what is it? Compared to the destruction of the family, those trivialities are nothing! Ye Shilan touched her crooked nose, and said with a smile: "If I had known that I would end up today, I should have let myself be merciful back then, and not be so cruel to Ye Xici." If I had known that things would have come to this point, I should have said goodbye to Na Yesi. Maybe today, I can still ask that smile to save my mother, save my brother, and save myself. ”
"Haha! Haha......" Ye Shilan suddenly pointed to the identical self in the mirror and laughed: "But now, what position do I have to ask for the help of that party?" She wished that her mother would die early, and that Ye Xiqian and I would all die! She'll just watch the play from across the strait, watching us all step by step towards destruction. She must be very happy, she has avenged Ye Xi's resignation, and she has avenged the princess. My mother is now unconscious, my brother is playing with the thief as his mother, and I am just her puppet, at her mercy......"
"This is retribution. It's all retribution. Ye Shilan put down her fingers weakly, and suddenly calmly put on the veil to cover her somewhat distorted face.
She hid her self-deprecating face under the veil, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she said to herself: "Since you want to watch a play, I will cooperate with you to play a good play." I only hope that one day in the future, that Zhou Guifei and Ye Shucheng will be destroyed in your hands. I didn't do a show for nothing. ”
"Miss." Fear grew wildly in Lu Yuan's heart. Such a young lady is so scary. Under that look like ashes, there is madness hidden in his eyes.
"Green Garden, don't worry. I'll find you a good place to go. Ye Shilan glanced at Lu Yuan gently, and said silently in her heart.
She was not a gentle person, and she was not necessarily a good master before. She was moody, and although she never abused the maid, she would also scold from time to time.
The servants in this mansion may not dare to provoke her because of her father's relationship, but she is self-aware, and she knows that she may not have a good impression in the hearts of these people.
Once upon a time, she was no different from everyone else. But she actually knows that Lu Yuan is very loyal. She was by her side when she was five years old, and she was always close to her, and even when she used to be angry with her and angry with her when she was upset, she was always faithful to herself.
If it weren't for the fact that too much had happened recently, perhaps she wouldn't have noticed. What a blessing it is to have someone who genuinely cares about you by your side.
In the Houmen Palace, there are many cunning and insidious and unscrupulous means, even brothers and sisters, even parents and relatives, may be hungry wolves dressed in the cloak of goodness.
When she lost everything, she found that there is such a person who has always cared about you and prayed for you to live happily, even if there is a difference between master and servant, and a gap in identity, it can still become a faint light in her dark heart.
She hasn't lost everything yet.
Suffice it to know that.
So Lu Yuan, I will put myself on the line in Fang Xiaoyu's hands and become a puppet controlled by her, just to change you to a beautiful place.
This is the only thing she can fight for at the moment. I should repay you for the friendship that has been by your side all these years.
"Okay, Luyuan, let's go prepare the car. His Royal Highness the Second Prince...... You're waiting to see me. Ye Shilan regained her smile, but there was a bit of dangerous gunsmoke hidden in that smile.
"Miss, do you have to go?" Green Garden still wants to make a final effort.
"Go ahead." Ye Shilan waved her hand and didn't let her continue.
Seeing that Miss had made up her mind, Lu Yuan could only turn around and leave. Tears have long been disobedient to the face.
And when Ye Shilan was about to go to see Ye Shucheng, Fang Xiaoyu personally took a plate of snacks and went to King An's study.
King An now wants to vomit when he sees a snack. Even if he knew that it was a delicious dim sum without bitter herbs, he could see the psychological shadow, and he was really tortured by Fang Xiaoyu and called the earth to be ineffective.
No, as soon as he saw Fang Xiaoyu coming to visit with snacks in his own hands, King An subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide. But as soon as he thought of Ye Xici, who was still on the battlefield of Beiyan, he suppressed this thought again.
King An was struggling with how he should swallow this snack. In the past, the dim sum sent by Fang Xiaoyu's maid was so difficult to swallow, but now that Fang Xiaoyu personally brought it, you can imagine how terrible it will be.
But Fang Xiaoyu didn't seem to be in the mood to joke with him today, and the dim sum in his hand didn't add anything strange. King An closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to take a bite, but unexpectedly found that it was not bitter, but sweet, which made him feel strange. Then he began to wonder if Fang Xiaoyu had murderous intentions and poisoned his dim sum?
After a while, there was no sign of poisonous hair, and King An looked confused, looking at Fang Xiaoyu with puzzlement in his eyes.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't mention the matter of dim sum, but went straight to the point: "Father, do you have any jokes to go out for a walk?" ”
King An's gaze suddenly became even more confused. (To be continued.) )
