Chapter 23: The Blood of a Loyal Servant Shows Loyalty

At noon, the sun was scorching.

The people who were swaying in the scorching sun couldn't open their eyes, and there was silence outside the Yonghe Palace.

Even the guards and eunuchs hid in the shade under the eaves, and only Song Yi, who was dressed in plain white clothes, stood alone under the sun.

Beads of sweat slid down her cheeks, sweat overflowed from her nose, her handsome face was dyed abnormally red by the heat, and the clothes on her back were almost penetrated.

But the emperor still didn't summon her.

The chief eunuch Li Quan took pity on this general, she had to be punished when it rained, and she still had to be punished when the weather was fine, and the emperor only let her stand outside the palace gate and think, remembering that she had something to say to him before going in.

But this arrogant general has been standing all morning, and he doesn't even mean to confess.

The person in the palace in a brocade robe was sitting and playing with Concubine Xu, there were palace people on both sides holding a fan and fanning the wind, and the eunuch served tea, and the woman in pearl and emerald suddenly smiled coquettishly, "The emperor let the concubine today." Saying that, the green jade finger insisted on the white chess and fell, and Mu Xiuhan rarely lost the game.

Throwing the black chess pieces in his hand back into the board carelessly, Mu Xiuhan had no intention of fighting again, took the exquisite teacup in his hand, and drank it with a calm expression.

Xu Lian'er secretly glanced at his expressionless face, and said with a gentle expression, "Your Majesty, General Song has been standing all morning, and now the sun is in full bloom at noon, and it will be time for heat stroke later." ”

Mu Xiu said in a cold voice, "I didn't punish him, it was he who refused to tell the truth. ”

He already knew most of Ye Hai's affairs, but Song Yi still refused to admit it, let alone tell Ye Hai's whereabouts.

This is Mu Xiuhan's last chance to give Song Yi.

The woman in the palace, Hui Zhilanxin, how could she not know what he and Song Yi were fighting for?

Xu Lian'er's eyes moved, and she said with a warm tone and a puzzled expression, "The emperor treats Song Yi with deep affection, and has let him live several times, Song Yi should be grateful, how can he lie to the emperor?" There must be a misunderstanding here......"

Mu Xiuhan's heart sank suddenly, his narrow phoenix eyes were full of anger, not to mention that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, he felt more and more that Song Yi didn't know what to do, and he actually stood on the side of the criminal minister, without thinking about his several extrajudicial favors to him.

Putting down the teacup lightly and heavily, a calm and magnetic voice sounded, "Li Quan, go and tell Song Yi that you will come to stand in front of the palace every day in the future, when will you wake up and know the duty of being a minister, and then talk about anything else." ”

Li Quan responded and walked out silently.

Xu Lian'er's eyes fluttered, and she sighed lightly and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, why are you suffering......

Outside the hall, the scorching sun was about to roast people dry.

Li Quan walked in front of Song Yi, who was angry but stood upright, and his eyes were full of regret after seeing countless rights and wrongs in this palace, and said, "General, take the initiative to say it, the emperor knows it...... There are some things that you can't change on your own......"

So what?

Song Yijunxiu's eyes were narrowed by the strong sunlight, but his determined appearance did not change in the slightest.

She didn't say a word, and made up her mind to stand until she was old.

After a few hours, the long noon finally passed, and soon after, the vicious sun also set.

Mu Xiuhan's tea was drunk cup after cup, and Xu Lian'er returned to the palace, but he still had no intention of letting Song Yi go home.

It is estimated that if it continues to be consumed like this, Song Yi will not open his mouth until he dies, and that person's temper is not ordinarily hard.

The people in the hall put their eyebrows together, their faces were not angry, he stood up and paced and roared at the people not far from the hall, "Get in!" ”

The figure that had almost merged with the bluestone pavement under her feet trembled, she moved her feet slightly, her lower limbs were already paralyzed and unconscious, she moved, and her center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground.

Mu Xiuhan saw this scene clearly, the hand in his sleeve moved slightly, and his brows wrinkled deeper unconsciously, but when he saw Li Quan helping her up, he finally sat in the hall with a cold face and majesty.

"See the emperor." Song Yi's lower limbs were unstable, but he still endured the numbness on his legs and knelt down.

Looking at her stubborn appearance, Mu Xiu snorted coldly, with a thick anger in his eyes, and there was a look of disdain for her between his eyebrows, Song Yi lowered his head humbly, not looking at him.

glanced at Li Quan, in the end, the chief eunuch understood what he meant, neatly moved a soft stool, and carefully helped Song Yi up and sat up.

Mu Xiuhan still had a cold face, and looked straight at Song Yi without a trace of emotion, he wanted to dig out this person's heart and see what it was made of!

"I won't waste time with you." A cold light flashed in Mu Xiu's cold eyes and said, "I already know where Ye Hai is, don't think you can hide everything, even if you have the ability to reach the sky this time, Ye Haizhen will be killed!" ”

Raising her eyes suddenly, Song Yi looked at Mu Xiuhan who was high above her with sharp eyes, and the cold light in her eyes was no less than his.

The sword eyebrows were tightened, the eyes met, and the thin lips of the person in the high position said lightly and cruelly, "What can you do?" ”

After staring at each other for a long time, Song Yi retracted his gaze and said indifferently, "The minister doesn't care about this matter, whether Ye Hai is alive or dead, the minister doesn't care." But her slightly trembling hand on her knees betrayed everything.

"Really?" The corners of Mu Xiuhan's mouth tugged up, his sharp eyes had already seen everything, he looked at Song Yi and asked softly, "Then give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”

Song Yi had a bad premonition.

The man in a bright robe threw her a booklet and said cruelly, "According to the address on it, find Ye Hai, kill him, and I will believe you." ”

Kill him, and I will believe you.

He knew that it was impossible for her to kill Ye Hai, but he forced her to show her loyalty with the blood of the son of a loyal minister.

That's ironic enough in itself.

If it weren't for being in the palace at the moment, if it weren't for the fact that he was the inviolable king of a country, Song Yi really wanted to ask him at this moment, what did the Ye family do wrong, and he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots?!

But he didn't allow her to be disobedient, in addition to Ye Hai, Song Jiajun's life was also in his hands, if she was classified as disloyal, then Song Jiajun's tens of thousands of brothers would also be disloyal.

"Disloyal" ministers will only end up like the Ye family.

At the end, Song Yi closed his eyes as if he was resigned, picked up the booklet and said, "Minister, take the order." ”

Walking out of the splendid hall, Song Yi dragged her still numb legs forward slowly, she hoped that her legs were really useless, so she didn't have to be Mu Xiuhan's executioner.

It was night, lightning and thunder, cold storms, and a whistling north wind blew as if it were about to swallow everything.

A rainstorm is coming.

Song Yi held a heavy blade and came to a deserted old mansion step by step.

This is the old mansion of the Ye family, the blood of the eighteen members of the Ye family has dried up here, and now, the life of the last vein of Ye Hai will also end here.

When she opened the booklet and saw the words "Ye Family's Old Mansion", she knew that what Mu Xiuhan said was true.

The hand holding the sword moved, and Song Yi pushed open the dilapidated door with a tense face and walked in.

There was silence all around, and she looked left and right, and walked straight to a nondescript room.

"Ye Hai?" She pushed the door open, and the smell of decay filled the perennially damp gloomy cabin, and a sultry smell came over her face.

Ye Hai stood in the center of the room, and through the moonlight through the dilapidated window, Song Yi saw the sword in his hand reflecting cold silver light.

"General Song," a gentle voice sounded like jade, and the person who was originally a handsome son smiled sadly, "Ye Hai knows why you came, and he doesn't want you to be infamous, so he is ready to kill himself today." ”

He said and raised the sword in his hand in front of his neck, "I just want to thank you until now, I don't hate you, the Ye family's qi is exhausted, and there is no point for Ye Hai to live alone, I just want to live in the next life, no longer be a pawn of the emperor's family, and let others slaughter it, fortunately, Ye Hai's life today still belongs to his own ......"

is also a thorn in the emperor's side, how could Song Yi not know the sorrow in Ye Hai's heart, but she has never died, how can Ye Hai break it by himself?

Seeing that he was going to do something stupid, Song Yi quickly "snapped" the silver ornaments that had already been prepared in his hand, and hit the back of Ye Hai's hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a "bang".

Ye Hai looked at the man in white with a surprised expression.

"I came by the emperor's order, you can only die under my sword, and you are not allowed to cut it off yourself!"

The sharp sword pointed at Ye Hai, and Song Yi's eyes approached him step by step.

The Praetorian Guards, who had been in ambush outside the door for a long time, were listening, and the emperor ordered them to wait here, if the general Song Yi had any compassion, he would arrest all the people inside, but now in this situation, the general is also loyal.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, the door panel was broken, and Song Yi flew out.

Murderous for a while!
