(489), but the family does not know each other
Helping the second brother tighten his clothes, Wang Zhe said with worried eyes: "Second brother, how much do you know about the Ye family?" β
Looking at the second brother who had fallen into endless contemplation several times, Wang Zhe already felt that the second brother was a little strange today. And it wasn't until he heard that Ye Ziqing was directly mentioned in his words just now that Wang Zhe was really extremely worried.
Regarding the affairs of the Ye family, Wang Zhe has always advocated hiding from his second brother first, whether in his own concept or in front of his father, so as not to hurt his body.
But he didn't expect that he seemed to have known about it a long time ago, and today, after having a conversation with the only remaining predecessor of the Ye family, he was deeply involved in the cumbersome affairs related to the Ye family, and he was already a little troubled.
Quietly looked at Wang Zhe and was silent for a moment before Wang Hong spoke, but instead of replying to anything, he asked in an extremely calm tone, "What about you?" How much do you really know? β
There was a hint of abnormality in his calm face.
In the tone in which he spoke at this time, it seemed that the question no longer needed to be answered, and he was only saying: You must know, and not necessarily less than I know, so why do you bother to ask me?
Wang Hong was in a trance.
He suddenly realized that because he was in a hurry just now, when he asked that sentence, it was equivalent to showing a hint of his intention to hide something in front of his second brother.
Wang Zhe hesitated, and Wang Hong didn't speak again, as if he was waiting for something.
In the chariot, an atmosphere that was so quiet that people felt faintly hairy lasted for a long time.
Hearing that the sound of the wheels pressing on the ground changed, it should be almost in the inner city, Wang Zhe's eyebrows moved, as if he had broken free from the frozen situation, sighed softly, and said gently: "Second brother, these are the things of the previous generation. And we just need to do our part as a generation. β
Wang Hong's gaze was flat, and he still asked in a very calm tone, "Do you really think so?" β
Wang Zhe was stunned.
Although his feelings for Concubine Xian are not as deep as Wang Hong's, looking at Wang Hong's look in his eyes at this time, he is obviously looking forward to his denial.
But after he was silent for a long time, his heart hardened, and he said, "Yes, that's what I thought. β
"Okay." Wang Hong bent the corners of his mouth a little far-fetched, "I'm still the same as before." Listen to you. β
Listening to the second brother's verbal promise, Wang Zhe could clearly feel that he was saying something against his will. But no matter what. Stabilize his mind first, and discuss major matters until he returns to the palace, Wang Zhe didn't think about anything more, and he quickly changed the topic, so that the second brother should not think about it in his heart.
Look at the second brother's nervousness just now. He couldn't help but be nervous, and when he thought about it, he felt more and more that he had made the right decision to hide it from him.
Wang Zhe breathed a long sigh of relief, his mind relaxed a little, but he sneezed coldly. Immediately, I heard the second brother's voice handing over: "Third brother, your clothes." β
Wang Hong had already taken off the robe that Wang Zhe had put on him just now and handed it over.
Wang Zhe waved his hand. didn't pick it up, just smiled and said, "A little sneeze, I can't help it, but you, wearing hot clothes." Don't take it off. β
Wang Hong hesitated and said, "You better put your clothes back on." It's already a hassle for you to come out with me. If you come back sick, I'll be to blame. β
"Accompanying you out to relax, which is also what I, as a younger brother, should do, and you see, as soon as you said that you were going to come out, even my sister came out with me, how lively the family is together." While Wang Zhe was talking, he took the robe that Wang Hong had returned and put it back on him, "The days in the palace are really boring, the shipping ceremony has been held for a few years, and no one has taken you out to see it once." β
"I didn't come here on my own initiative." Wang Hong smiled faintly, "Those people in the palace serve very dedicatedly, but if I don't care about anything in order to come out and have a good time, then even if I make a little mistake, they will have to be severely punished for it, which is not good." β
"You say that every time, but are they really as dedicated as you say? Just that bowl of soup two days ago hurt you like that. Fortunately, your body has gradually grown up over the years, if you put it in the early years, you would have to lie down for ten days and a half months if you made such a fuss, but you still have to intercede for that palace maid......" As soon as the words were said here, Wang Zhe sneezed again and couldn't help but squirt.
However, before Wang Hong could speak again, he saw Wang Zhe hurriedly waving his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay...... It's the smell of alcohol in this car...... Liao Shi's medicine is really peculiar. β
"I'm feeling a little depressed, too." Wang Hong said this as if talking to himself, then turned his head to pull back the corner of the curtain, and instructed the palace maid who was accompanying him outside: "Pull the windshield curtain a little more to breathe a little air." β
The palace maid immediately agreed, raised the finch head pestle in her hand, and moved the windshield curtain halfway. At this time, the honor guard had already entered the inner city area, blocked by the high city wall, and the sea breeze seemed much weaker. But when the closed and warm space in the chariot was just invaded by the breeze outside the car, Wang Zhe, who had taken off the robe outside his body, still felt a trace of coolness.
But he didn't care too much about himself, but thought of Wang Hong for the first time. After the windshield curtain was lifted halfway, the light in the car suddenly brightened, and he noticed carefully that Wang Hong's face was a little abnormal.
Wang Zhe knew that Wang Hong was always used to hiding his symptoms of physical discomfort from others, so before asking him, Wang Zhe first shook his hand, and then said with a slight surprise: "Why are your hands so cold?" Is there anything else that is uncomfortable? Don't hide it from me. β
"I'm fine......" habitually said these three words, Wang Hong looked at Wang Zhe's questioning and worried eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I just suddenly feel a little depressed." Maybe it's the effect of that medicine, Uncle Ye used it to massage me just now, and my body quickly warmed up. β
"I don't think you feel warm right now." After saying this, Wang Zhe only paused slightly, and then said to the palace maid who was waiting next to the car: "Go and ask Imperial Doctor Ye to come over." β
Wang Hong's eyes froze, and it was too late to stop the palace maid. But the maid had not taken a few steps to the back of the line when she collided with another maid who was running from behind to the front, and both fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zhe frowned slightly, and reprimanded solemnly: "You." What's the matter? β
The palace maid who rushed from the back of the team to the front hurriedly stood up, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave and maid returned to the third highness, it is the Ye imperial doctor, Lord Ye is walking at the back of the team, somehow, he fell off the horse, the slave and maid hurriedly reported the matter to the emperor, which shocked His Royal Highness, and the crime was ......."
Before the palace maid finished finishing the series of words behind her, Wang Hong, who was shocked in her heart, slapped her palm on the armrest of the chariot. interrupted her, "You make it clear, there are Wu Wei leading the horse." How could something happen? β
"The slave doesn't know...... I just know...... Lord Ye was a little injured, and the person was already unconscious. Wang Zhe's question, there was a sense of oppression in his tone, the palace maid didn't dare to look up at all, and her voice became lower and lower. Seem...... It seems that Lord Ye himself did not sit firmly. β
When Wang Hong heard this, his face became very strange for a moment, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that his clothes were being torn off.
He turned his head and saw that it was Wang Hong who stretched out his hand to pull him, shook his head and said, "Third brother, ......"
Wang Hongcai said two words. The voice slammed, and then he raised his sleeves to block his mouth and nose, and choked on a muffled voice.
Wang Zhe could hear that there was something strange about his cough. My heart was tight, and I subconsciously grabbed the sleeve tube he blocked under my nose, and when I moved it slightly, I saw the dazzling color of the cuff.
Wang Hong was coughing up blood, and the blood he coughed up. The color is extremely dark, like the kind of hard work that has been accumulated for a long time.
Wang Zhe's hands couldn't help but tremble. His mind was also a little confused, and he said with a flustered look: "Second brother, why did you suddenly become like this?" No...... Didn't you stop thinking about those things? Why hurt yourself! β
Wang Hong kept coughing and couldn't speak.
Wang Zhe tugged at his heart and shouted to the palace maid on the side: "Go and call other imperial doctors!" β
The palace maid went in a panic.
Wang Hong endured it hard, but finally he couldn't hold it back, and coughed up a mouthful of blood, but the color of the blood was much lighter than at the beginning, and after that, he naturally stopped coughing.
Looking at the second brother who was pale, although he didn't cough anymore, but was gasping for breath, Wang Zhe was distressed, pulled up his sleeves, and was about to help him wipe off the blood on his lips, but he blocked it back.
Wang Hong raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, panting and said, "I'm much better." Uncle Ye fell from his horse, no matter what, his father will definitely come over, don't let him see the bloodstains. β
"What do you mean......" Wang Zhe looked incredulous, "You are still ready to tolerate him and hide it from your father?" β
Wang Hong didn't seem to want to speak, and just shook his head when he heard this.
However, Wang Zhe was anxious and asked, "Why?" I don't want to endure it, you sue me, what did Ye Zhengming tell you in the car just now? β
"He didn't say anything." Wang Hong replied quickly, his voice revealing some weakness.
Strictly speaking, Ye Zhengming really didn't reveal anything to Wang Hong, but at this time, Wang Zhe obviously didn't believe what he said, he looked at Wang Hong, who was breathing a little unwell, although he didn't ask again, but a chill flashed in his eyes.
Wang Hong caught the slight discoloration in his eyes, forced himself to calm down the chaotic aura, and said solemnly: "Third brother, you just advised me not to be angry with Uncle Ye, are you just talking lightly?" β
"I'm ......" Wang Zhe froze.
The speed of the honor guard suddenly slowed down, and it seemed that the palace maid had already reported Ye Zhengming's fall from his horse to the emperor, and His Majesty was indeed ready to come and take a look in person.
After all, Ye Zhengming's weight in the emperor's heart is by no means as light as just an imperial doctor.
Wang Hong was also a little aware, pulled his sleeves, rolled the bloodstained sleeves slightly inside, clenched them in the palm of his hand, and then said to Wang Zhe: "Please listen to me once." β
β¦β¦
In fact, about the reason why Ye Zhengming suddenly committed madness, the second prince Wang Hongyue guessed part of it.
For a long time, Ye Zhengming has been patient with one thing. He didn't understand why the emperor hadn't overturned the case for the Ye family. More than 1,000 members of the Ye family are still sinners, and they can't be worshiped openly, so he can only silently burn a stick of incense for their dead in a small windowless dark room at home.
ββActually, there is another person who is also skeptical about this, and that is Lin Shan. However, because of the different positions, although the emperor attached great importance to these two people, he only told Lin Shan the reason why he could not overturn the case for the Ye family for the time being, so Lin Shan only expressed a period of anxiety, and then chose to continue to endure and wait.
Ye Zhengming could have endured it for a while. Although he was about to endure to the limit, it would not suddenly erupt without warning today.
The fundamental reason why his love was detonated was that when he was accompanying him on the altar of worship, he saw a blue shadow on the observation deck on the lower right.
The dead people have turned into a quiet handful of ashes, in front of the cold and quiet ashes, Ye Zhengming can still be calm, but the young life that survived after seeing so many people dead. He couldn't help but be impetuous, his heartstrings were plucked, and he couldn't hold it. In the matter of tempting the second prince, he behaved out of line.
And the reason for his fall from the horse was not because he wanted to evade responsibility. He is not afraid of punishment, what other punishment can be compared to the severity of the Ye family's death? He was really as the palace maid said, and he didn't sit still. before it fell.
After the test of the second prince finally ended in failure, he felt extremely depressed, even if the honor guard was not a few steps away from the palace, he did not want to accompany the family to continue walking.
β¦β¦
At the time of Ye Zhengming's horse fall, his daughter Ye Nuonuo was still with Mo Ye and stayed on the coastal observation deck.
After the royal guard of honor is far away. Naturally, the military defenses on the periphery of the observation deck were also evacuated. Looking at the outpouring of people, Ye Nuonuo and his party were very unanimous in their attitude that it was not too late for them to wait and then leave. When they came, they were already crowded. There's no reason to be in a hurry to get crowded when you go back.
However, Mo Ye was slow to react and stood still with Ye Nuonuo and his party without any assertions, mainly because she still remembered the picture she had just seen in her mind.
The emperor looked familiar, which was not surprising, because His Majesty personally beat the drum. It is something that many people on the observation deck see. As for the two women sitting next to the emperor, it was not difficult to guess the woman in the phoenix robe. It should be a noble concubine, and the one who is dressed lightly, Mo Ye looks a little familiar, and just asked Ye Nuonuo about it, it is the princess who they were originally going to bring out, but was taken away by a prince on the way.
Mo Ye was not very interested in understanding the few people who were familiar or unfamiliar in the chariot at the head, but the two young men in the chariot behind him made Mo Ye can't help but stare at him.
But specifically, what kept her eyes peeled was the man sitting inside, who was quite familiar. The strange thing is that after checking from Ye Nuonuo and finding that there were two princes sitting in the car behind her, Ye Nuonuo was reluctant to say anything in detail about this matter, which was in great contrast with the enthusiasm she had generously introduced to the second prince of the dynasty before.
Ye Nuonuo was naturally determined to continue to keep Wang Zhe's identity a secret.
And Mo Ye was deceived by others, but it was by no means just the identity of a third prince.
It wasn't until much later that she realized that it was the first time in her life that she knelt on the observation deck to sneak a peek at it, and that it was the first time in her life that she had been in close contact with the family she had been looking forward to, pondering, and questioning for a long time.
Although they barely had a brief eye contact with her, what they got from each other was the result of "turning a blind eye".
β¦β¦
Almost at the end of the crowd when he left the observation deck, Mo Ye saw the group of four martial arts hall disciples again.
These four people, when they bowed to see off the royal car back to the palace just now, they were not too far away from Mo Ye. However, Mo Ye and his party chose to attach it to the tail of the large army, because they didn't want to be squeezed, and they didn't expect that these few people who practiced martial arts would also walk so leisurely and slowly.
However, when Mo Ye and his party also left the observation deck, she unexpectedly found that the four people were still staying on the observation deck, looking into the distance by the railing.
It turned out that they didn't actually think about leaving immediately.
Mo Ye was surprised in his heart, didn't think too much, and hurriedly returned to the city with Ye Nuonuo.
After the main ceremony of the Maritime Festival, the observation deck will be open all day on the day of the ceremony, and most of the temporary stalls on the beach will stay for half a day.
With so many people gathering on the beach on this day, it can be regarded as a kind of fate, and there is no need to rush out of the inner city to watch the two-hour shipping ceremony, and then hurry back, making it as dull as counting working hours.
Although it is true that some people come here with some precious time out of their busy schedules, most of them still come with a relaxed and entertaining mood and spare silver. Once you've had your eyes full, you'll need to step on the soft sand, eat and drink while feeling the spirit of the sea, and then go back.
However, most people who are willing to stay and play for a while before returning home will not choose to continue to stop at the observation deck, because at this time, all kinds of confetti and waste are thrown on the observation deck, which really affects people's relaxed mood of playing.
But the few men stayed there.
There was a sudden sound of thunder in the sky, and some of the tourists who had not gone far mistakenly thought that the spring thunder was blowing up on the altar again, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the altar.
The same is true of Yenuo and his party.
But they only saw that on the low-lying observation deck, the four martial arts hall disciples were also looking at the altar, but they didn't seem to be just stunned, but had something in their hearts and did it intentionally. Among the four, one of them was pointing to the empty altar and talking to the other three.
Mo Ye and his entourage saw this scene, three of them were spectators, and Xiaoya was the only one, looking over there and asking curiously, "What are they discussing?" β
