A month later, a scrawny horse and a pair of ragged men and women appeared in Hangzhou Mansion, and it turned out to be Ye Xun and Ruolian. In the living room, two people were surrounded by a family and asked questions. The faces of the two people were very plain.

Ye Xun said to everyone, "I know that everyone cares about us, and this matter cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences." After such a long journey, Madame must be tired, so let her go back to the house and rest. ”

Ruolian also smiled, "Aren't we coming back?" There will be an opportunity to say later. Ruolian turned to Ye Xun again, "You can also go back to the house to change your clothes and take a rest." ”

Ye Xun nodded.

Ye Xun came back safely, Wendu was as happy as everyone else, but he could always feel that Ye Xun came back a little differently this time. Whether it was his eyes or what, Wen Du couldn't tell. When there were only Ye Xun and Wen Du left, Wen Du stepped forward and hugged Ye Xun's neck intimately, "I finally hope you back!" This time is about to kill us, and we will inquire about you every day. ”

Ye Xun didn't respond to him, but turned his head to look at the hand on his shoulder with a cold expression. Wen Du pulled his hand back boringly, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." As he spoke, Ye Xun stood up and turned his back to him, "I'm going to see my father." You don't have to stay with me in the study at night. Go about your own business. ”

Wen Du looked at his departing back, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and his expression was confused and painful.

Ye Xun knocked on the door, and as soon as Ruolian saw Ye Xun coming, she prepared to go out. Ye Xun nodded at her, "Madam." ”

Ruolian also nodded, and as soon as the two of them met, they immediately looked away. "I've got all the water ready for washing my feet. There is also a pot of freshly boiled water, which is not hot and refilled. ”

Ye Xun nodded, and Ruolian went out. Ye Xun brought the foot soaking bucket to the bed, he knelt next to him and looked up at Ye Shiqing, who was holding a book and reading, and said, "Father, wash your feet." ”

"Oh." Ye Shiqing didn't raise his head, but just moved his foot to Ye Xun's side.

Ye Xun took off his father's shoes, took off his socks, tested the water temperature, and then gently put his father's feet into the bucket, "Father, is the water temperature appropriate?" ”

Ye Shiqing nodded.

Ye Xun rolled up his sleeves, put his hand into the water and rubbed his father's feet, looking at his father's calm and comfortable expression, Ye Xun was very pleased.

Suddenly, Ye Shiqing asked, "Where have you been in the past few days?" They didn't even come to wash my feet. ”

"My son has returned to the capital, and the emperor summoned me to have something to discuss. Didn't Xiaohu come to wash your feet these days? ”

"Here he is, but he doesn't wash his feet as comfortably as you do."

Ye Xun was moved, "In the future, we don't need Xiaohu to wash it, my son will come to wash your feet every day." ”

Walking out of his father's room, Ye Xun had a very complicated mood, except for the satisfaction that his father brought him. He also looked around the room, and sure enough, he found a corner of the luggage roll peeking out under the bed. From this point of view, what Pan Ruolian said is true, she is still young, if she is just taking care of her father's daily life, shouldn't their Ye family delay the good youth of others, Ye Xun thought that he would have the opportunity to talk to her and see what she thought......

Ye Xun walked to the study, the light was still on, he walked in, and found Wen Du sitting in the corner of the table reading a book. "Didn't I tell you I wouldn't use it at night?"

Wendu raised his head, "I'm fine at night, I won't be able to sleep this time, it's okay to read a book in the study." ”

Ye Xun walked to the table and sat down, and didn't look at the official document, just looked at Wen Du's side face and didn't speak. Wen Du could feel his eyes and pretended to read the book seriously. Suddenly, Wen Du raised his eyes to look at him, and the two of them collided with each other, and Ye Xun quickly moved his gaze to the side.

"Is something happening in the palace?" Wendu put down the book and couldn't help but ask.

Ye Xun didn't answer, just shook his head blankly. followed by a long silence, and finally Ye Xun stood up, "I'm back in the room, you have to turn off the lights and close the door after you finish reading the secretary." ”

Ye Xun and Ruolian didn't come back for a few days, and the holy decree arrived. Ye Xun was not surprised, but he felt that this time he came to spread a will, but he brought a whole team of heavily armed men and horses, and some of them moved the people. He calmly knelt down and took the order. But when he heard the 'poisoned wine', it was like five thunderbolts, and he suddenly felt that the world was spinning. He couldn't believe that the emperor would really want his life?

The others were obviously frightened as well, and Wakaren sat down on the ground......

It wasn't until the herald officer urged Ye Xun to accept the decree that Ye Xun said weakly, "Minister, thank you for receiving the decree." ”

Ye Xun was still kneeling on the ground with the holy decree in his hand, and the others surrounded him and asked eagerly, "What's going on?" Isn't it okay? "How so?"

Wen Du approached the herald and said affectionately, "Father-in-law has worked hard all the way!" This...... Is there some misunderstanding in the middle? You...... Is there a mistake? ”

"How can this be? The emperor's holy purpose is this, how many Hangzhou mansions are there in this world, how many Ye lords are there? The emperor ordered the miscellaneous family to personally watch Lord Ye drink poisonous wine, and the miscellaneous family's errand was completed. Lord Ye, when are we on the road? ”

"Anytime." Ye Xun said word by word, at this moment he had gone from being frightened just now to being discouraged.

The herald smiled, "That's good." He waved behind him, "Pour wine for Lord Ye." ”

"Don't cry!" Ruolian drank the crying peach on the side, and stopped in front of Ye Xun and said loudly, "Slow! Is there any heavenly reason? For that matter, he began to take us to the capital to be held accountable. We also went to the capital, and we didn't say anything when we were in the palace, and when we came back, we wanted to die? Why not give us a chance to defend ourselves? ”

"Mrs. Ye, are you trying to resist the decree?" The herald's face was displeased.

"The women don't dare. But this is a human life after all! How could the emperor be so sloppy? ”

"Bold! Dare to speak disrespectfully to the emperor! Come, hold this woman down. ”

Two soldiers came up and pressed Ruolian to the ground. Ruolian still writhed and struggled and shouted, "We don't accept it! We have been wronged! We don't drink this poisonous wine! ”

At this time, Ye Xun, who had been kneeling there like a statue, had a somewhat moved expression, and he turned his face to Ruolian on the ground and said, "Madam! Stop rebelling senselessly. Since ancient times, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die! He turned his face again, and said calmly, "Pour the bar!" ”

"No! No way! Seeing that someone was about to pour wine, Ruolian hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, the woman has one last request, Lord Ye also has an old father, please give him an hour to say goodbye to his father." ”

The herald paused, as if in thought. Wen Du hurriedly stepped forward and muttered in a low voice: "Father-in-law, our emperor respects the rule of filial piety, and Lord Ye is a famous filial son." The farewell of father and son is a matter of heaven and humanity, and the emperor will definitely not blame his father-in-law. Besides, an hour will not delay your father-in-law's business. ”

"Okay. Just an hour. "The herald said. He waved his hand to the two soldiers who were holding Ruolian again, "Withdraw." ”

Ruolian got up from the ground, and before she had time to tidy up her messy sideburns, she began to make hasty arrangements, "Thank you, father-in-law." Xiaohu, you take someone to entertain your father-in-law and the officials. Peach, please come out quickly......"

Wen Du stepped forward to help Ye Xun, Ye Xun's legs were already numb and soft, and Wen Du easily dragged him up. Ye Xun laughed miserably, "Thank you for letting me live for an extra hour." ”

What makes Ye Xun the most unbearable, the most entangled is his father, others are easy to say, he is gone, what should his father do? Ye Xun knelt at his father's feet, peeking at his father, and his heart turned upside down.

Ye Shiqing raised his eyes and asked Ruolian, "What are they crying about?" ”

"Sir!" Ruolian's eyes were unusually firm and said, "Now that this is the time, I think I should tell Ye Xun the truth, he is gone, I will give him linen and filial piety!" ”

Everyone present was amazed. Ye Xun didn't understand what was going on, "What fact?" Why do you want to dress me in linen and filial piety? ”

"Is the emperor going to kill him?" Ye Shiqing's eyes were bright, not at all like the usual wooden ones.

Wakaren nodded.

Ye Xun looked at the two of them with a stunned expression.

"Ruolian, go and bring your marriage certificate." Ye Shiqing commanded.

Ruolian quickly took out a marriage book from the inner room and put it directly into Ye Xun's hand.

Ye Xun opened the marriage book in confusion, and the names of Ye Xun and Pan Ruolian were written on the marriage book. Ye Xun raised his head and looked puzzled, "This ...... It's ......"

Ye Shiqing said very calmly, "Ruolian, you tell him." ”

Ruolian peeked at Ye Xun and said, "Many years ago, your father met a master in the palace, and after he saw you, he said that it is difficult for you to live to adulthood, even if you live past the age of 18, there will be a great catastrophe when you are 28 years old, and you will never recover, and you will not die well." If you want to crack it, you must find a woman who is a tiger and have sex with her when you are twenty-four years old. Before you are twenty-eight years old, you must be tortured every day, **, three days of minor punishment, and seven days of great precepts, so that you can succeed in the tribulation. I am the woman your father found for you to be a tiger and a fiery woman......"

Ye Xun felt that he was about to collapse at this moment, he was shocked and saddened that the emperor really wanted to kill him, and he was even more shocked that he had been living in a scam, and it was a scam full of warmth! Ye Xun has always felt that he is miserable, it turns out that Ruolian and her father rack their brains every day to find a way to torture themselves, because of this!

Ye Xun couldn't accept it, he was both aggrieved and sad and angry, "Father! What masters? Those are liars! Evil Sect crooked! How can you believe what they say? I've ...... all these years" Ye Xun felt choked by something in his throat, and he couldn't go on.

"I didn't believe it either. But if you look at the way you looked when you were a child, you didn't know how thick the sky was, and everyone who saw it didn't think it was a long-lived appearance. At a glance, the master can tell you everything about your past, so I can't believe it. Since he said that he can crack it, we only have you as the only seedling, why don't I try it? ”

"But I still haven't lived past the age of twenty-four?" Ye Xun smiled bitterly.

Ye Shiqing thought for a while, "This may be because we are still too soft-hearted and not ruthless enough to you." ”

Ye Xun couldn't laugh or cry, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, calmed himself down and said, "Father, the matter has come to this, don't mention this matter." After I leave, I will entrust you to Xiaohu and let him give you a ...... for the rest of your life."

"Ye Xun!" Ruolian interrupted him, "Just leave your father to me to take care of." You can rest assured. ”

Ye Xun didn't dare to look her eyes, "I was originally going to ask for you, but now this situation is ...... We don't have a husband and wife, how can we delay you? You're still young, you can find a good family to marry......"

"Ye Xun, I exchanged Geng posts with you! The first day I arrived at your Ye family, I regarded myself as this family! I am now born as a member of the Ye family, and I am a ghost of the Ye family when I die! No one can stop me! Not only that, but I also want to give you linen and filial piety! Wakaren said unusually resolutely.

Ye Xun shook his head vigorously, "Don't, don't!" Why are you bothered? ”

"Ye Xun, you can't control this matter. I, Pan Ruolian, have been married, and my own lord does it himself, and no one can control it! ”

Ye Xun knelt in the middle of the courtyard, looking at the glass of wine that was close at hand. The glass is dragged on a golden tray, and the body is also made of gold, and it is also inlaid with red gemstones, which is very delicate. The wine in the glass was a little cloudy.

"Does the emperor have anything to say to me?" Ye Xun asked faintly.

"Yo, don't say there really is." The eunuch who took the lead patted his head and said, "The emperor said that you should go in peace, your father is supported by the state." They will say that you died of illness in office. We have prepared a first-class coffin for you, and as soon as you leave, we will set up a mourning hall, and we will let you rest in the mourning hall for three days according to the emperor's instructions. ”

"Emperor Xie Longen, everything has been thought of for the ministers." Ye Xun smiled bitterly, then licked his lips and reached out to pick up the wine glass......

All the relatives and friends behind him had solemn or sad expressions, or whispered tears, or secretly wiped their tears, a sad ......

Wen Du frowned, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. But he looked at it coldly and always felt that something was wrong......

Ye Xun put the wine glass to his lips, closed his eyes, and drank it all with his head up. Ruolian and Tao'er hurriedly stepped forward to help him......

When the father-in-law saw Ye Xun drink the wine, he immediately began to set up a mourning hall and carry the coffin in. "You guys go and hang up the white palms, you carry the coffin in, remember to lighten it, don't break it. You guys go get the paper money......"

Ye Xun pushed Ruolian and Tao'er away, and staggered to his feet, he felt the cup of poisonous wine flow hot down his throat, like a sharp knife cutting everywhere he went. It's going to be burning and tumbling in your stomach...... Ye Xun felt that the world was spinning, a mouthful of hot liquid squirted out of his mouth, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and as soon as his body softened, he fell to the ground with a bang, and the cry in his ears became farther and farther away......
