Chapter 289: End, Temptation
Li Zhi is here, and he is more prepared to say that the new emperor is here!
Because of this, Steward De is so nervous.
Although Li Zhi is not the first time to come here, his current identity is certainly not the same as before, and everything naturally seems completely different.
Moreover, Li Zhi did not mobilize the public, and only brought a few entourages in civilian clothes to come privately. He didn't even tell him in advance, and after arriving, he didn't let the people in the house inform Ye Nianchen to take over, but walked in the direction of Xiaochenxuan by himself, without any shelves at all.
Hearing that Li Zhi was coming, Ye Nianchen frowned slightly, but he quickly returned to his normal color.
When she got up and didn't reach the door, Li Zhi had already walked in quickly.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly saluted, and Ye Nianchen also followed the rules and wanted to salute.
"It's all exempt." Li Zhi said as he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support Ye Nianchen, which didn't make her worry so much.
"If I want to tell your young lady, everyone else should retreat for the time being." Soon, Li Zhi waved his hand directly at Mrs. Zhou and the others, signaling the idlers and others to retreat and avoid.
After a while, only Li Zhi and Ye Nianchen were left in the spacious room.
No one was in a hurry to speak, and for a moment the room was very quiet, and the atmosphere seemed a little strange.
Li Zhi drank tea and looked at Ye Nianchen quietly, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect or what, he always felt that Ye Nianchen was more beautiful and moving than before, even if he didn't say anything or do anything, it was like a painting that was pleasing to the eye.
It was a kind of peace and comfort that emanated from the inside to the bottom of his bones, so beautiful that he also felt extraordinarily peaceful and peaceful.
"The emperor came on purpose. I don't know what to command? After a while, Ye Nianchen saw that Li Zhi didn't speak, he always sat there staring at her, and finally had to speak first.
I haven't seen him for a few days, but Ye Nianchen can see at a glance that Li Zhi has only taken a step forward from the crown prince to the emperor, but the difference between them is very clear.
To be honest, she also had to admit that Li Zhi was indeed very powerful, but in just three days, he had basically controlled the situation. Smoothly remove all obstacles. Got the throne and power he wanted.
Moreover, according to Li Zhi's skill and wisdom in governing the country, he will definitely be an emperor who is beneficial to the people in the future.
It's just that when he thought of him, he secretly sent someone to attack Gu Mingyi. The original collaborators have become the biggest threat and hidden danger to the future in the blink of an eye. Her admiration was clouded.
She quietly hid her true thoughts in her heart. In front of Li Zhi, he quietly maintained his due calmness.
"Hearing you call me the emperor, it seems a little strange." Li Zhi put down the teacup and couldn't help but smile. When he really pondered the title and tone when Ye Nianchen called him just now.
"The emperor is already the Ninety-Five Emperor now, Nianchen calls you the emperor to respect from the heart, how can there be anything strange?" Ye Nianchen replied decently.
She didn't think that Li Zhi would say this, if he is not called Emperor Li Zhi, what else can he be called?
Li Zhi's words sound a bit clueless, but how can a wise and intelligent person like him be mindless?
"Yes, the Ninety-Five, I changed from the crown prince to the emperor overnight, and there is a lot of credit for Nianchen." Li Zhi nodded, and followed Ye Nianchen's words to the word credit: "As the emperor, there should be clear rewards and punishments, but I don't know what kind of reward Nianchen hopes to get?" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's just that the reward is not necessary, everything Nianchen did was originally for himself." Ye Nianchen naturally wouldn't be naΓ―ve to think that Li Zhi deliberately took the time to come over when she was so busy just to ask her what reward she wanted: "Of course, if the emperor has other instructions, but please give it, as long as you can do it, Nianchen will definitely go all out." β
"Looks like you think I'm here today for a purpose?" Li Zhi smiled a little disappointedly, and laughed at himself: "Why can't I just come over and see you like this?" Compared to when I was the crown prince before, the distance between us seems to be a little farther away, is it because I have become the emperor, so this estrangement is more inevitable? β
Hearing this, Ye Nianchen was silent at first, and then said lightly: "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, of course, you can't speak the same language as others, the emperor should know what it means to be the Son of Heaven, so why bother with these unimportant little things." β
"It doesn't matter if it's important, no one knows it better than myself......" Li Zhi sighed slightly, looked at Ye Nianchen and said a little helplessly: "That's it, I also know that some things are not in a hurry, and I am very happy that you can speak to me directly." I'm here today to see you, and I have a few things to tell you. β
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, please give the emperor a word, and listen to the dust." Ye Nianchen replied, his attitude was still the same.
Seeing that Li Zhi finally mentioned the right thing, he couldn't help but secretly guess.
At the moment, there are only a few things that are related to Li Zhi and her, and if she takes the initiative to mention it, she is afraid that it will be related to Princess Zhaohua.
Sure enough, Ye Nianchen was right, what Li Zhi said was Princess Zhaohua.
He told Ye Nianchen about Princess Zhaohua's current situation in person, even if he knew that Ye Nianchen must have heard a lot of news about that in the past few days.
It's just that when he officially cooperated, he had already promised Ye Nianchen that he would definitely correct his mother and brother's deeds back then and give them justice.
Now, all the crimes committed by Princess Zhaohua have been investigated and dealt with clearly, and it is only the will of the final punishment result.
"Nianchen, what do you want me to do with Princess Zhaohua?" In the end, Li Zhi directly asked Ye Nianchen what he thought, and his expression was obviously incomparable.
As long as Ye Nianchen spoke, no matter what she wanted to do with Princess Zhaohua, he would agree, and there would be absolutely no hesitation.
"Princess Zhaohua deserves it, and now the emperor is dealing with it impartially and restoring the truth to the public, which is already the best consolation for my late mother and brother. Therefore, no matter how the emperor dealt with Princess Zhaohua in the end, Nianchen had no opinion. β
Ye Nianchen said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Nianchen is really grateful. β
This is indeed true, she has almost lived for revenge in the past ten years, and now it can be regarded as a perfect ending, and she has no regrets in this matter.
I have to say that Li Zhi has also contributed a lot to being able to get to this point, although everything before was just cooperation and use between them.
"It looks like the hatred in your heart has really been let go." Seeing this, Li Zhi said with relief: "This is a good thing, you don't have to live in the past and hatred from now on." I'm glad for you. β
"That being the case. In a few days, I will issue an order to give Princess Zhaohua self-determination, which can be regarded as the last dignity given to her by the royal family. He then added: "And your father's case, which will also be solved next." What is your opinion on his case? β
This is the case. is still asking for Ye Nianchen's meaning. Obviously selfish.
For Ye Feng as well as the Ye family. It's not a trouble for a long time, as long as Ye Nianchen is willing, Li Zhi doesn't mind opening the net and dealing with it lightly. Of course. If Ye Nianchen wanted to double the punishment, he could do the same.
Hearing this, Ye Nianchen was not in a hurry to speak, but subconsciously became silent.
Ye Feng's case was promoted by her own hands, so it couldn't be clearer, according to the laws of Great Wei, the beheading after the autumn was already a kind of preferential treatment.
But now, Li Zhi is obviously talking about this and wants to give her a favor, after all, that person is also her bloodline father no matter what.
Ye Nianchen didn't care about Li Zhi's thoughts at the moment, what really made her hesitate was Ye Feng himself.
The Ye family no longer exists now, and the fate cannot be changed, but Ye Feng's life and death were unconsciously pushed into her hands.
Yu Qing, she didn't care about Ye Feng's life at all, and even felt that such a person might as well be dead in the world. Yu Li, all the crimes involved in Ye Feng are real and objective, and he deserves his own crimes, and she should not interfere with the judiciary, so she can ignore it at all.
But human nature is often too complicated, and today, Ye Nianchen can't tell what kind of mentality he is.
"Nian Chen...... What are you thinking? I didn't see Ye Nianchen speak for a while, as if he was in deep thought, and Li Zhi finally reminded him after waiting for a while.
Coming back to his senses, Ye Nianchen looked at Li Zhi with a little apologetic and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, no matter how the crime committed by Ye Feng is judged, it is not too much, and to tell the truth, the person I really hate in the past ten years is not Princess Zhaohua, but him!" β
After a pause, Ye Nianchen said again: "If you can, I hope the emperor can spare his life, sometimes, death is the lightest punishment for a person, and living with nothing can give him the opportunity to see everything in the past and give him the opportunity to repent of what he did at the beginning." β
When she said this, Ye Nianchen's eyes dodged a little, maybe this was what she really wanted to see about Ye Feng's fate, or maybe it was the so-called unbearable in her blood after all.
But no matter what, she still decided to spare Ye Feng's life, and from then on, the strangers had nothing to do with each other, and there was no contact with each other.
"I understand......" Li Zhi nodded slightly, and did not question Ye Nianchen's decision too much, but replied with great certainty: "Don't worry, I will do what you say." Do you have any other requirements? β
"I want to see Princess Zhaohua one last time." Ye Nianchen had already returned to his normal color, and no longer mentioned Ye Feng, but talked about Princess Zhaohua.
"No problem, I'll have someone arrange it, and I'll send someone to pick you up to see her for the last time." Li Zhi resolutely responded, and asked again: "So, what about Ye Feng?" Do you want to see him again? β
"No need, because it's no longer necessary." Ye Nianchen made the final decision, and the whole person couldn't help but feel relaxed.
There is indeed no need to say goodbye, their so-called father and daughter have come to an end, and there is no point in seeing or not seeing, so why bother.
On the contrary, it was Princess Zhaohua, there were some things she hadn't had time to say, if Princess Zhaohua was given death, she would have no chance now.
"Well, you can do whatever you want."
Li Zhi nodded again, and suddenly was silent for a while, as if he was struggling with something.
Ye Nianchen was about to ask out loud, but he finally asked, "After seeing Princess Zhaohua, do you plan to leave the capital and go back to southern Xinjiang?" β
Hearing this question, Ye Nianchen was stunned, but there was no abnormal emotion on his face.
"It's not that fast for the time being, I have to wait for Brother Gu to return to the capital before leaving." She replied casually, and when she mentioned Gu Mingyi, her face naturally revealed a few different looks.
Seeing this, Li Zhi's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he covered it up very well, and in the blink of an eye, it was clear.
"Speaking of which, Gu Guoshi has been away from the capital for a long time, has he said when he will come back?" He deliberately pretended not to know anything, and asked Ye Nianchen about Gu Mingyi's return date.
In fact, Li Zhi didn't want Ye Nianchen to mention this person again at all, and he would never let her see this person again for the rest of his life.
Ye Nianchen shook his head, and his expression slowly became a little lonely: "I don't know, he left in a hurry that time, but someone brought me a message, saying that his master had summoned him back to have urgent matters, so he had to go back." As for the specific return date, he didn't even know it at the time, so how could he tell me in advance. β
"Then he hasn't written to you for so long, mentioning the approximate date of return?" After listening to this, Li Zhi asked tentatively.
He has always been the most cautious person, although the person sent has returned to get rid of Gu Mingyi, but after all, he has never seen his corpse, which makes him a little uneasy.
If Gu Mingyi hadn't died, with his feelings for Ye Nianchen, it would have been impossible not to contact Ye Nianchen, so Li Zhi would quietly ask and test one or two.
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Ye Nianchen shook his head again: "No, it's been so long, and he hasn't heard from him at all." Maybe it's because things are more troublesome on his master's side, so it's inconvenient? However, he said that he would come back as soon as things were taken care of over there, so I guess I would have to wait a little longer at most. β
"If so...... Can't wait for him to come back? As soon as Li Zhi asked, he regretted it a little, and hurriedly subconsciously added: "I mean, if his master doesn't let him come back, have you been waiting for him like this?" β
"No, I'm sure he'll come back to me!" Ye Nianchen was very firm: "We made an appointment, we want to go back to southern Xinjiang to visit my uncle together, and we will travel to the world's famous mountains and rivers together, he has always been a good talker, and he will never lie to me!" No matter what happens, I know he'll come back to me! β
Ye Nianchen's words made Li Zhi's heart tingle subconsciously, because what he saw was not only Ye Nianchen's firmness, but also the deep love of the woman he loved for another man.
He didn't want to bear it, but the relationship between Ye Nianchen and Gu Mingyi made him unavoidable and unable to deceive himself.
Fortunately, it is impossible for that man to return here, and he will definitely make his beloved woman forget that man and stay here forever, by his side! (To be continued.) )
