The aftermath of the civil strife continued, and to the uneasiness of the people, the loss of faith and the loss of the temple made the people feel as if they had lost the protection of the gods, and the voices of the people who shouted for the founding of the Holy Virgin Church grew louder and louder.

Although Zhang Yi accepted Ye Gucheng's concept, in the face of repeated petitions from the courtiers, he was not sure for a while, so he had to consult with Ye Gucheng.

"Commander, Li Yue'er is the commander of the people around him, if he establishes the Holy Maiden Sect, it will be beneficial and harmless. ”

Ye Gucheng frowned, he finally abolished the temple, if the Holy Maiden Sect was really established, if it became a trend in the future, he was afraid that it would be another temple! It's not that he can't trust Li Yue'er, he is afraid that Li Yue'er will be controlled by someone with a heart.

Seeing that Ye Gucheng was silent, as if he had thought of something, Zhang Yi continued to say in a deep voice: "The minister knows where the commander's concerns are, but the minister thinks that if the Holy Maiden Sect is established, he can use the influence of the Holy Maiden Sect in the hearts of the people to hype up the great achievements of the soldiers, so wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"

It is undeniable that Zhang Yi's words made Ye Gucheng quite moved, and he couldn't help but pace back and forth, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi didn't make a sound, and stood aside.

Suddenly, Ye Gucheng's pace stopped, and he muttered: "Order, select a place by the county order, simply build a temple for the people to pray for, set up a temple order, and be responsible for daily maintenance, in addition, the Holy Maiden Sect is not allowed to involve power or politics, let alone have any armed guards, and the disciples and sects must not exceed three people in each place." ”

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that the courtiers and the people will not agree!"

"You are Xiangguo, you should know what to do better than Ben Shuai. ”

"Chen, understood!" Zhang Yi smiled even more bitterly.

"Tell them again, the courtiers must have the duties of the courtiers, otherwise, the marshal will not mind replacing them all. At this moment, Ye Gucheng's cold glow flickered.

Zhang Yi's heart sank, and he hurriedly received the order.

"Stand down!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Zhang Yi leaving, Ye Gucheng slowly returned to his seat, and the spacious hall was instantly empty!

Looking around blankly, golden and splendid, such a living environment used to be his dream, but now, he felt extremely lonely, so cold that he was afraid!

He wanted to escape from here, but he had nowhere to go, and the Yiyue Pavilion and the Taihe Palace, the two places he had liked the most, had closed the doors for him!

Ye Gucheng laughed at himself, slowly leaned back, his eyes full of tiredness, and gradually closed the door!

Footsteps sounded quickly, and the palace guard knelt down on one knee and said, "Commander Qiyu, Miss Yue'er asks to see you." ”

Ye Gucheng suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly: "Quick, please come in." ”

"Yes!" the palace guard walked away quickly.

Ye Gucheng was excited, quickly got up and walked towards the palace gate, didn't take two steps, and then stopped, as if he was worried about something.

"Brother-in-law. Li Yue'er rushed into the hall, and when she saw Ye Gucheng standing aside, she rushed over and said unhappily: "Brother-in-law, you came to find Yue'er yesterday, why didn't you come in and leave?"

Ye Gucheng looked at the woman with her arms tightly in a daze, her nose was sour for no reason, and the familiar scene was back!

"Brother-in-law, why don't you speak?" Li Yue'er tilted her head, looking particularly naughty and cute.

Ye Gucheng took a breath, staggered his eyes and said, "Yue'er, you... Aren't you afraid of your brother-in-law?"

"Don't be afraid!" As soon as Li Yue'er spoke, she subconsciously lowered her head and continued to whisper: "Although Yue'er was a little scared before, but now she is not afraid!"

"Why?" Ye Gucheng's tone was full of gentleness.

"Because my sister said that my brother-in-law didn't want to kill anyone, they wanted to hurt my brother-in-law, they were all bad people, and my sister also said that my brother-in-law was actually very bitter, and it was Yue'er who blamed her brother-in-law for it. Li Yue'er raised her head and said very seriously.

Ye Gucheng smiled, as if the darkness in his heart was completely defeated in an instant. "Does your sister really say that?"

"Hmm!" Li Yue'er lowered her head.

Ye Gucheng couldn't control it anymore, hugged Li Yue'er fiercely, and muttered: "Yue'er, believe in brother-in-law, no matter what your brother-in-law has done, no matter how bad your brother-in-law becomes, your brother-in-law will never hurt you and your sister." ”

Yue'er believes in her brother-in-law. Li Yue'er hugged happily, and then, her eyes were stunned, staring at an object on the desk full of surprise.

Ye Gucheng was about to continue to say something, but his body was suddenly pushed away.

Li Yue'er trotted to the desk excitedly, looking at the dragon-shaped wood carving, a miniature version of the golden dragon was lifelike, no more than 50 centimeters long!"Brother-in-law, this is... Dragon?"

"How about it?do you like it?How about my brother-in-law give it to you?" Ye Gucheng chuckled and walked forward.

"Great! Thank you, brother-in-law!" Li Yue'er was excited, kissed Ye Gucheng's cheek fiercely, and immediately played with the dragon-shaped wood carving.

Ye Gucheng touched his cheeks and cheeks that were kissed, and his heart was extremely hot!

The feeling of family affection is so good!

Li Yue'er played with it for a while, gradually raised her brows, turned her head and said, "Brother-in-law, why can't I feel spiritual power, otherwise, can you let Long'er turn back?"

Ye Gucheng was silent for a long time, and smiled at the suspicious gaze: "Yue'er, Long'er is tired! It needs to rest well! When it rests, it will change back, can you help your brother-in-law protect it well?"

"Hmm!" Li Yue'er nodded heavily, and said crisply: "Then Yue'er will take Long'er back first, and Yue'er will put it on the bed so that Long'er can sleep well." ”

"Okay!" Ye Gucheng sent Li Yue'er away with a smile, but only he knew how much bitterness there was in his smile.

Taihe Temple.

Li Yueli stared blankly at the children playing on one side, and her heart was very blocked.

The strange atmosphere infected the slaves around them, and they were walking on thin ice one by one.

The room was unusually quiet and depressing, except for the occasional laughter of children.

As soon as Ye Gucheng stepped into the hall, his brows couldn't help frowning, obviously, he was also aware of this unusual smell.

"See the Commander-in-Chief!"

When the servants saw Ye Gucheng coming, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly, while Xiao Hongchen was taken away at Li Yueli's behest.

room, soon there were two people left.

Ye Gucheng hesitated for a moment, slowly stepped forward, and chuckled: "Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for coming to thank your husband." ”

"Thank me for what?" Li Yueli looked calm.

"Yue'er has already told me! The husband has always thought that the lady can't understand me! It's the husband's mistake!" Ye Gucheng bowed deeply.

"Perhaps, it's Yueli who is wrong! Yueli always thought she knew you, but in fact, Yueli didn't understand!" Li Yueli laughed to herself.

Ye Gucheng's brows rose suddenly, and he said slowly: "Lady, you... What's wrong?"

"Who is Xuanyuan Xiu?" Li Yueli looked cold.

Ye Gucheng's heart sank suddenly, he knew that rumors about him were still coming into the palace! In the past, he could hide it without any scruples, but now, he didn't want to hide it anymore, a lie, he needed to use more lies to get it round! He was tired! But he didn't know how to speak.

Li Yueli faced the silence, and her heart became colder and colder. "She's not your sister, is she? She's your wife, yes or no?"

Ye Gucheng met his misty eyes and nodded silently.

Li Yueli smiled, tears couldn't stop falling, full of self-deprecation: "No wonder you are flattering me in every way and making me feel affection for you, in the final analysis, you are just using me to strengthen your own power! Yes and no?"

Ye Gucheng did not admit or deny it, and in shame, he could only bury his head in silence.

Li Yueli is so smart, how can she not see it, her distress is even worse, she wiped away her tears, and said coldly: "So, you have never loved me, you look at my eyes, it is like looking at another person, I must be very similar to her, and it is logical to become her substitute." ”

"No, it's not like that, Yueli, trust me, I love you. Ye Gucheng was anxious all of a sudden.

"Love me?" Li Yueli smiled very sadly, and said sadly: "I thought about it a lot! I finally understood why you fought so hard because of a tattered dress, you are a competent husband, but not my Li Yueli's husband, even our children have to be surnamed Xuanyuan! Because in your heart, Hongchen is born by you and Xuanyuan Xiu, and he is not my Li Yueli's child, so Xuanyuan Hongchen is just the name you gave to remember Xuanyuan Xiu! Ridiculous me, I still believe your nonsense!"

"No! Yueli, trust me, that's not how it is. Ye Gucheng was so anxious that he stepped forward quickly and grabbed Li Yueli's hand, but he didn't want to be thrown away.

"How about not that?" Li Yueli's tone was like her eyes, cold without a trace of temperature. "I just want to ask you one question now, if you think that I Li Yueli still deserves your sympathy, please tell me the truth. ”

Ye Gucheng strongly felt Li Yueli's estrangement, and his heart hurt like a knife, but he had no choice but to say bitterly: "Say it!"

"At the beginning, you hid from me everywhere and protected me in every way, was it because I looked like your wife?"

Ye Gucheng was silent again, for a long time, and said softly: "Yes!"

When the last glimmer of hope was shattered, Li Yueli's face was pale and terrifying.

"But, Yueli, please believe me, I really like you. Ye Gucheng hurriedly explained.

"Like me?" Li Yueli's smile was unusually pale, and she said desperately: "Perhaps, even you don't know whether you like me Li Yueli or Xuanyuan Xiu in my body!

"Yueli。。。。。。 ”

"I'm tired!" Li Yueli coldly interrupted Ye Gucheng's words. "Please go out, don't worry, I won't kill myself, I promise to protect your wife Xuanyuan Xiu. ”

"Yueli. ”

"Get out. Li Yueli roared almost hysterically.

"Then take care!"

Ye Gucheng walked out of the inner hall in frustration, and suddenly, a slap was slapped in the face.

The crisp slap sound shook the slaves on the side, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Today's incident, who dares to spread it out and exterminate the family. ”

"Yes!"

The servants almost buried their heads in their chests, and they didn't dare to breathe until Ye Gucheng left.
