"What is the reason?" Ying Heng asked, looking at him indifferently.

"Because...... Because ......" Ye Canglan stumbled, and finally closed his eyes, and mustered up the courage to tell the reason, "because I stole this dagger." ”

Hearing this, Ying Heng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, "Stole?"

Ye Canglan nodded, then shook his head and explained: "But it's not like Your Highness thinks, I didn't steal it in the northern border. ”

His words made Ying Heng's heart sink to the bottom again, he was indeed like Ye Canglan said just now, he felt that he had finally admitted that he was a dagger that went to the north to steal.

But he didn't want to, before Ying Heng had time to be happy, Ye Canglan's next sentence made him happy again.

But despite this, Ying Heng still asked politely, "Then where did you steal it?"

"It was stolen from a merchant's house in Gangnam. Ye Canglan replied honestly.

"What's that merchant's name?" Ying Heng asked anxiously.

Hearing what he asked, Ye Canglan couldn't help but look embarrassed, "Back to Your Highness, I'll ...... I don't know. ”

"I don't know, how can I not know?" Ying Heng looked at him suspiciously.

"That day, I went to steal from other people's houses, but I didn't succeed, and I was almost discovered. Ye Canglan began to tell what happened, "I was in a hurry, so I got into a house. ”

"But I didn't expect that this family was very rich, so I secretly took this dagger in line with the principle that thieves don't go empty, but I didn't know who the family's surname was, and I was in a hurry that day. ”

"I see. ”

Ying Heng nodded, and as he spoke, he carefully looked at Ye Canglan's expression, and saw that he was not unusual, so he looked away.

In his heart, he was always skeptical of Ye Canglan's words.

Ye Canglan naturally understood the meaning in Ying Heng's eyes, so he spoke again: "The reason why I said that just now to deceive His Highness is because I have always made a living by stealing, and I have committed countless things. ”

"I'm afraid that when His Highness finds out, he will track me down, and when the time comes, I will commit something and put me in prison, so that's why I lied to you. ”

After that, Ye Canglan stood up, knelt on the ground with his robe, hung his head and said: "But now, since the matter has come to this point, and His Highness already knows about this matter, then I am willing to obey His Highness's fate, but for the sake of me taking the initiative to explain, open the net!"

Ying Heng looked down at the person in front of him, without too much expression on his face, he just asked thoughtlessly, "Miss Gu, do you know that you are a thief?"

"I don't know, Qingqing, she doesn't know, please don't embarrass her. Ye Canglan said eagerly.

Ying Heng nodded, and then said indifferently: "In order not to embarrass her, it depends on your performance." ”

Hearing his words, Ye Canglan couldn't help but raise his head to look at Ying Heng, and asked puzzledly, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't have to embarrass Miss Gu, or I don't have to investigate your affairs and condemn you, but His Highness has one condition. "It should be measured and methodical.

"On what terms?"

Ye Canglan frowned and asked him, and suddenly there was a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, Ying Heng's next sentence confirmed Ye Canglan's thoughts.

"Your Highness's condition is very simple, I want your dagger. Ying Heng said slowly, "It was originally mine, but it was transferred to you, and now I want it back, and it is just a matter of returning it to its original owner." ”

"I just don't know what Ye Gongzi wants, can you agree to this condition of His Highness?"

So far, although he can't be sure whether that thing was done by Ye Canglan or not, but the dagger has been found, so there is absolutely no reason to put it in the hands of others.

Whether it is returned to the original owner, coercion or temptation, this dagger was left to him by his father, so no matter what method is used, Ying Heng will take it back.

Hearing his words, Ye Canglan couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at him with an embarrassed look in his eyes, his eyes full of reluctance.

Since Ying Heng said so, he made it clear that he wanted to take the dagger back, and his attitude was so tough, he didn't give himself a chance to refute it at all!

Such an act really makes Ye Canglan have no choice!

But if he was asked to accept his fate and hand over the dagger, Ye Canglan was not very willing, after all, this dagger had been with him for a long time, it meant a lot to him, and he already had feelings.

When Ye Canglan was struggling with himself, Ying Heng on the side spoke again, "His Royal Highness just wants to get his things back, and he doesn't want to touch Ye Gongzi's life, but if you don't know the current affairs and force me to move, then there is no way." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ye Canglan was completely speechless, today I am afraid that he will have to give this dagger, and if he doesn't give it, he will have to give it, otherwise Ying Heng will not let him go.

Thinking of this, Ye Canglan took out the dagger from his arms very reluctantly, looked at it for a long time, and finally hesitantly put his hands in front of Ying Heng.

Now that he is single-handed, where can he provoke His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun! Instead of one more thing, it is better to have one less thing, it is better to hand over the dagger to protect the peace!

In this way, Gu Ziqing will not be affected by himself, isn't it the best of both worlds!

And the thing he did was okay without a dagger, and he held the dagger in his arms, just to keep a thought.

Ying Heng's eyes stared straight at the dagger, then leaned over, reached out to take the dagger, and pulled it out vigorously.

After checking it, it was confirmed that this dagger was real, and Ying Heng couldn't help but show a happy expression.

It had been so many years since he had left him that the dagger had been lost and found was exciting! as if his faith had returned.

Ye Canglan looked at the appearance of the person in front of him, and for a moment felt that it was better to put this dagger in Ying Heng's hand than to put it here for himself.

But now, no matter what he thinks, this dagger naturally belongs to someone else, and it has nothing to do with him anymore.

Ying Heng carefully took the dagger back into his arms, then looked at Ye Canglan and said, "Ye Gongzi, don't worry, tonight's matter, out of this door, I won't say anything." ”

"In this way, thank you, Your Highness. Ye Canglan said expressionlessly.

He was in a very irritable mood at this time, and he didn't have the time to prevaricate anymore, and he was straightforward when he spoke.

Hearing his words, Ying Heng nodded, "Since this is the case, His Royal Highness will not bother, Ye Gongzi should rest early!"
