CHAPTER XVI

When Ye Qianling woke up from anesthetic, he had no strength in his whole body, raised his right hand and rubbed his dry eyes, and saw that Emperor Guangde did not leave, sitting beside her, and his lazy appearance disappeared in an instant, "Father, why are you here?" ”

Between sleepy eyes, Emperor Guangde was reluctant to give a little expression, his eyes stared at him without blinking, and the throbbing pain at the corner of his mouth that had just spoken made Ye Qianling recall what had just happened.

"Father, do you really want your sons to go to Nanyuan in the western suburbs? Is there no room for negotiation at all? Ye Qianling remembered what had just happened, and still wanted to fight for it, it was better to die than to live, normal people would have such thoughts, and she was the same.

When Emperor Guangde heard this, he didn't answer her, little by little, the light on Ye Qianling's eyes slowly dissipated, and Emperor Guangde sadly looked away from staring at her and looked at the open door: "Then tell your father about it, forget about it, otherwise, don't blame my father for being ruthless." ”

Ye Qianling burst out of his chest with a layer of bitterness, haha, it's useless, I persuaded myself to go, what hope is there.

"Oh, good father, my son knows." Ye Qianling didn't have the courage to look at him, looked at the layers of blood on his clothes with a smile, and said to Emperor Guangde with tears in his smile: "Father, the son has a request, if the father agrees, no matter what you want Ling Er to do, Ling Er will never hesitate." ”

When Emperor Guangde heard this, he vaguely felt that there was an atmosphere of parting from life and death, and wanted to explain that it was not what she thought, but he was curious about what she was going to say, so he raised his chin and motioned for Ye Qianling to continue.

"Erchen knows that after every secret guard comes out, he must recognize the master, father, and hope that after he comes out, the master of Erchen is only his father." Ye Qianling was a little embarrassed, but still said what she requested.

Hearing this, Emperor Guangde felt very funny in his heart, and with Ye Qianling's expression of looking at death as if he were at home, it became difficult to maintain his facial paralysis this time.

Why didn't you realize earlier that your little daughter was so stupid? No matter how it is, it's still a princess, just go and practice, let her learn that truth, when she learns it, she will naturally come back, and when the time comes, I believe that the murderer who caught Ye Qianhao will almost be able to get out of Ye Qianling's mouth. No matter what, it is impossible for her to really become a secret guard.

Emperor Guangde couldn't help it in the end, and a smile appeared on his face in a bad mood: "How can I and Ziying have such a stupid daughter as you, and return the master?" Do you really want to be a secret guard? ”

Ye Qianling was already eccentric, but because he was deeply hit, his thinking was a little sluggish, and when he reacted at this time, his face, which was already so pale that he had no blood, loosened, and asked tentatively: "Father, are you joking with your son?" ”

Emperor Guangde wanted to laugh but felt that the occasion was wrong, and he acted like a strict father again, "Every two years, the person who ranks first in the secret guard will be exempted from the identity of the secret guard, have you forgotten?" Father didn't want you, gave you a chance, if you can rank first in two years, you can come back openly and continue to be your father's daughter, but if you don't become the first during the period, then unless you tell your father what the hell is going on, or you can only become a secret guard. When Emperor Guangde said this, he really became serious, "And my father promises that your master will never be my father at that time." ”

"Okay, deal." Ye Qianling agreed without hesitation, "As long as my father still wants me, this punishment must be there, or my father won't be able to stop Youyou's mouth, and his sons will not be able to have any peace of mind." ”

It's so stupid and cute, this sentence obviously told herself that Ye Qianhao's thing was not done by her, and she didn't notice it yet, and sure enough, her wife said a long time ago that Ye Qianling would always have one less tendon in front of him. Emperor Guangde thought.

Emperor Guangde dared to say this request, naturally he had great confidence in Ye Qianling, and he didn't even need to doubt it. Although this kid is relatively stupid and cute in front of him, it is difficult to meet an opponent in terms of mental strategy or martial arts. But the girl who has always disliked bondage goes to that western suburbs courtyard, which is indeed a big challenge.

"Father has something to ask you," Emperor Guangde felt at this time that he should ask him a question that although he was sure, he had not been admitted in person, and saw Ye Qianling facing him with his body facing him, waiting for him to ask, "Have you ever killed someone outside the battlefield?" ”

"Father wants you to answer in the affirmative, you know I hate lies the most." Emperor Guangde saw that Ye Qianling was entangled for a second and said.

"Yes," Ye Qianling thought for a while and then said: "There are two people, outside the battlefield, Erchen has only done anything to two people. ”

Although Ye Qianling didn't understand the equality of life that Emperor Guangde thought about, but these two actions were done secretly, because she knew that those two people were the sons of court officials, and if she killed them openly, she would naturally be in trouble, and since Emperor Guangde asked, she didn't want to hide it at all.

I remember that one of these two people is called Feng Yuan and the other is called Ye Qianhe. Ye Qianling fell into a brief memory.

When he was 11 years old, he killed the third son who was called Prince Yu at the time, 15-year-old Yachiwa.

Prince You is the half-brother of Emperor Guangde, because his mother is more favored, this person has developed an arrogant and domineering character, and the son raised is not a good character, his third son is the most disagreeable, at that time, Feng Yuan, the son of Zhonglang General, was notorious, and arrested several civilian girls in Guanghuamen in the center of the capital, and took them away on the street, and after returning because the girls resisted, the two people brutally killed those girls. But because the girls' fathers united at that time and said that nothing had happened, and that the girls had committed suicide, the matter was closed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on, and he was originally full of righteous indignation, wanting the wicked person who killed his daughter to get the punishment he deserved, but he didn't know that he gave hush money, and the conversation changed, and it became a state of calming things, and even interceded for the prisoner. Think about how unfair this world is.

Ye Qianling went to the battlefield for the first time, just came back, because of the big victory, he was in a very good mood, so he secretly ran out of the palace, and went to Guanghuamen to have a special food street to go around, just when he was eating a particularly famous beef noodle, he saw these two people take the three or four girls into the car, at first I didn't understand what was going on, I only heard a girl shouting for help, and the carriage disappeared from sight.

Coincidentally, there was a baked cake shop next to the beef noodle seller at that time, and the owner's daughter was also among them, and the one who was going to die or live at that time, Ye Qianling was particularly angry because he had never encountered this kind of thing, and directly inquired and knew that it was these two people, so he rushed to Prince You's mansion, but found that Prince You, who was his father, didn't even care about it, and did it perfunctory, and finally found those girls when they were in the bamboo forest next to Nanyuan in the western suburbs. He was wounded all over his body and died tragically on the spot.

Ye Qianling was extremely angry at the time, and went back to tell Ye Qianchen about it, but the matter had already been found out to these two people, and the family members who were bribed chose not to appeal, and the grievances were not revealed after all.

So on the rainy night of the next four days, Ye Qianling stabbed Ye Qianhe to death, tied it with a stone and sank to the bottom of the well in Nanyuan. The next day, he killed Feng Yuan and used the same method, but this person was too tall to lift him, and knowing that it was difficult for this person to live anymore, he threw him in the bamboo forest on the side, and these two people got the punishment they deserved.

Ye Qianling didn't tell anyone about this, but what puzzled her was that she told Emperor Guangde that she had killed two people, but she didn't ask her who she killed, which was really strange. Ye Qianling really wanted to ask why his father didn't ask anything, and when he heard the news, shouldn't he ask who he killed?

When Emperor Guangde saw Ye Qianling's expression, he guessed her thoughts, and didn't ask quietly, but continued to talk about going to Nanyuan in the western suburbs, and the question he just asked was as if it had never happened.

"Think about it before you do anything, think about it before you do it, even if you go to Nanyuan in the western suburbs, you must always remember this." Emperor Guangde said.

"Okay, Ling'er remembered." When Ye Qianling heard this, she nodded in agreement.

Emperor Guangde was about to leave because he had to go back to be busy with a lot of things that had happened in the past two days, and he was about to leave after saying something, Ye Qianling had no appetite, thinking that he would not see his father for two years, so he still pulled down the hem of his clothes, "Father, can you have a hot pot with me?" ”

Emperor Guangde saw Ye Qianling's reluctant eyes, did not refuse, nodded expressionlessly, and instructed the people behind him, "Go prepare the hot pot and get it here." ”

Ye Qianling hadn't eaten for a long time, and the wound on her ribs was particularly painful, and the whole person was mournful, because this operation was in the chest cavity, it would be very painful to eat, in fact, she shouldn't eat hot pot, but in order to let her father be able to accompany her, she still wanted to stay with her father for a while for such a reason.

"This cabbage can be eaten, father, for you."

"This mutton is cooked, you eat."

And so on, in a meal, Ye Qianling almost didn't eat anything, even if he knew that his father didn't have any appetite, but he still didn't want him to be hungry and uncomfortable, so he tried his best to pick up vegetables, and the few bites that only entered the stomach made his chest uncomfortable and nauseous, and it hurt like a fire, but he still pretended that nothing had happened, and finished the meal with a smile.

When Emperor Guangde saw Ye Qianling's appearance, his heart was sour. I don't know what will happen to me or how many sins I will suffer after entering Nanyuan in the western suburbs, but Emperor Guangde has no choice but to sacrifice his daughter and maintain the fairness and rigor of the law.

Finally, the meal was finished in silence, and the two of them had their own thoughts, even though the hot pot was very warm, but their hearts were as cold as ice and full of desolation.

"Father and Emperor are going back," Emperor Guangde stood up after asking people to clean up, "Tomorrow morning, someone will take you to Nanyuan, these two years, don't let your father down." Looking at Ye Qianling, who was sitting on the straw mat, with his head down, and didn't say a word, he knew that there would definitely be no smile on the face below, in order to no longer be sad, and for Ye Qianling's good, even if he didn't answer, he couldn't bear the pain and planned to leave.

"Father," Ye Qianling still spoke, "goodbye." Raising his eyes, tears had already cried all over his face, and his reluctance was clearly visible.

"Take care of yourself, and if you want to say it at any time, you can come back at any time." Emperor Guangde was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would really be reluctant to leave. After saying this, he didn't look at Ye Qianling's expression, and left quickly.
