"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with her?" While Ye Qiu was recalling those things, a gentle and elegant woman walked in from outside, she was dressed in plain clothes, as if as soon as she walked in, the atmosphere of the whole room was more peaceful and quiet.

This is Ye Qiu's sister-in-law Mei Wanwan, she used to be an innocent girl, but the downfall of her mother's family and the death of her husband's in-laws made her restrain her temperament, and she almost didn't go out much over the years except for taking care of the Ye family's property and raising her son.

"Sister-in-law." Facing the woman, Ye Qiu saluted respectfully, and now only in front of her can show her vulnerable side.

Ye Qiu's expression was sad, his hands were trembling, and his voice was hoarse: "There is news from the border today, second brother, he ...... Nope. ”

Hearing this bad news, Mei Wanwan's footsteps paused, and the nails hidden under the sleeves dug into the flesh, but she still pretended to be calm and patted Ye Qiu's shoulder, and then sat on the edge of the collapse, gently stroking the broken hair on Lin Jiao's forehead.

"The second sister-in-law was a little emotional when she heard the bad news, in order not to hurt the fetus in her womb, so I ordered her sleeping hole, sister-in-law, I have already ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and I will bother my sister-in-law to take care of it later, I am afraid that the will to let me enter the palace is about to arrive." Ye Qiu said in a heavy tone.

"It's all a family, don't worry, there is me at home." Mei Wanwan held Lin Jiao's hand, and her heart was full of pity.

She couldn't help but want to ask God, why are the lives of their concubines so miserable? She was just the first one, but her younger siblings are about to get married for a year, why are they so cruel?

The Ye family is loyal to the Darong Dynasty and has guarded the border for generations, why can't good people get good rewards?

The child in her womb was only seven months old, and she only wished that it would be a girl, so that she would not have to go to the border like her father, and when she thought of this, she thought of her son again.

The son is the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Ye family, although he and his parents-in-law have opposed him to practice martial arts, but the child is only interested in martial arts by nature, maybe this is the origin of family learning!

In the future, the Ye family will have their own son to support the façade, and she doesn't want another martyr to appear! The girl is very good, it is pitiful enough to be born without a father, but she can grow up happily under the protection of her brother, and find a scholar to marry in the future, so that she will no longer have to face these heart-wrenching things.

"Wechen knocks to see Your Majesty." Ye Qiuyi was summoned into the palace and had a sad look on his face when he knelt down.

"Aiqing, hurry up." The old emperor was satisfied to see Ye Qiu finish his salute, and couldn't wait to call her up, reflecting his mercy towards his subordinates.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You know all the news about the border gate." The old emperor sighed, "You mourn and appease your sister-in-law in the family." ”

"The second brother is loyal and dutiful for my Darong Dynasty and His Majesty, this is his glory, and our Ye family is proud of him." Ye Qiu said righteously.

"After all, I'm sorry for your Ye family." The old emperor looked sad, "First your father, then your eldest brother, and now your second brother is ...... Alas! ”

Hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, don't have this idea, military generals are born to protect their families and defend the country, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, who can predict it?" This can only be said to be the life of our Ye family. ”

"If only you could figure it out." The old emperor stood up from the dragon chair and walked down slowly, because Ye Qiu was a woman, so he didn't personally help her up.

Figured?

Ye Qiu sneered in his heart, killed all his relatives, see if he can figure it out?

However, he is the emperor, and his own brother was killed by his personal order, presumably family affection has no status in his mind, how can this kind of person who only has a position of power in his heart care about whether there are dead people in the courtier's family?

"Your Majesty, I wonder when my second brother's body will be transported back to Kyoto?" Ye Qiu asked patiently with anger.

It seemed that she had expected her to ask, and the old emperor's face was even more embarrassed: "Aiqing, you may not know about the things on the battlefield, your second brother's body was captured by the enemy after his death, and now it is hanging in front of the enemy's city gate." ”

"What?" Ye Qiu's eyes widened and he asked, his fists clenched tightly.

The old emperor looked at her and frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her sudden move.

"Please forgive your majesty, just now Weichen was only in a moment's urgency...... After all, that's Weichen's own brother! Ye Qiu almost gritted his teeth.

"I understand you, it's not that I don't save your second brother's corpse, but the other party said that if you want to redeem it, you will exchange a city for it, you are also the Xuanjie captain of Zhengbapin, and you grew up in the army since you were a child, and you know that those cities are all exchanged for flesh and blood by the soldiers, if you really exchange a city for a corpse, how do you let me explain to those soldiers who died in battle, how to deal with courtiers, and how to communicate with the people of the world?" The old emperor said bitterly.

Confessed? When did this old emperor give them an explanation for the Ye family? Those cities were also bought by their Ye family in exchange for their lives!

But if you think so, you can't say that, and if you let the dead father and mother and the eldest brother and second brother know that they surrender to the enemy, I am afraid that they will be uneasy underground.

"It is the duty of my Ye family to be loyal to the country, Your Majesty does not have to worry about a corpse, you should think about the overall situation." Ye Qiu buckled her head again, she buckled the place heavily, and said sorry to the dead second brother in her heart, and forgave her for her insincerity.

"If only you could think so." The old emperor sighed slightly, "It's just that your second brother is the general of my dynasty after all, if he hangs on the local city gate for a long time and is humiliated, I am afraid that it will damage the prestige of my country." ”

Seeing him say this, Ye Qiu didn't answer, and the old emperor frowned.

"But rashly carrying out it will damage my belief that peace is precious, other soldiers are not good at making a move, I thought about it carefully just now, it seems that you are the only one who is justified, plus you are an eight-rank captain, you have the qualifications to lead the army, and your martial arts have also been praised by your father, Ye Aiqing, what do you think of this trip?"

Ye Qiu lowered her eyebrows, does she have the qualifications to refuse? If she really refuses at this moment, she will be discredited in the capital tomorrow.

Think about it, you will know what those ladies who look down on her on weekdays will say, saying that she is greedy for life and afraid of death, saying that she is cold by nature and does not miss family affection, etc., will pile all the vicious words on her, and then make her unable to raise her head in the capital, and make the plaque of the Ye family dusty.

In fact, even if the old emperor didn't say that she was going to go, the Ye family would not allow anyone to insult and insult the enemy, then she would have flattened the enemy army, and the courtiers would have broken their mouths, so let them see if they could afford to provoke the people with heavy troops.

Afraid of their Ye family? Think the Ye family won't be able to do without a man?

Ye Qiu will personally tell them with facts that everything is a fool's dream!
