Chapter 444: There's no need to compromise
Ye Zhi fell silent. This is something he has been running away from, and he knows that sooner or later he will avoid it.
Mei Xiaoren was taken aback, but no matter how surprised she was, she was not as shocked and indignant as Ji Nanrou.
"Dad, my daughter won't marry!"
Wei Guogong said with a cold face: "Presumptuous, the marriage is based on the words of the matchmaker on the orders of the parents, and you can't help it." He looked at Ye Zhi again and asked, "Ye Zhi, are you willing?" ”
Ye Zhi raised his eyes, and the first person he saw was Mei Xiaoren, and then he turned his eyes to look at Wei Guogong, and said, "Everything is arranged by my father-in-law." ”
Mei Xiaoren calmed his eyes and spat lightly: "You can't do it." ”
Ye Zhi replied to her faint three words: "I am willing." ”
"Good!" Wei Guogong was pleased, "You said that you would help the old man get what he wanted within ten days, then the wedding will be set for ten days later, and the old man will prepare for you and Rou'er, you can take this person away." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Although Mei Xiaoren guessed that Ye Zhi would not let her go, but as a hostage, how could she not tell where hell was and where was the world, so she did not refuse Ye Zhi to compromise in exchange for a place for her.
She was still wearing the bloody clothes, escorted by many guards, and followed Ye Zhi back to Beijing.
Mei Xiaoren rode on the horse, walked side by side with Ye Zhi, and said, "You don't have to compromise with Wei Guogong for me." ”
"You can be faithful to my father."
She pulled the corners of her mouth and asked, "Are you going to take me to another place to imprison me again, or are you going to release me?" “
"How could I imprison you, you are not a prisoner in the General's Mansion, you just need to live in peace, and I will deal with the rest."
Mei Xiaoren looked at the forbidden army around her, in addition to the forbidden army, there were also guards from the Duke of Wei's mansion, it was better to say that it was the guards than the eyeliner sent by the Duke of Wei, so it was inconvenient for her to ask more.
When the night was quiet, Mei Xiaoren followed Ye Zhi back to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
The mansion is big and there are many people, but there are only two masters, Ye Zhi and Aunt Ye, and the mansion seems very deserted.
Ye Zhi asked his subordinates to pack out a spacious courtyard for her to shelter in, and also sent a few maids to serve her.
However, she was still a hostage, and Ye Zhi didn't give her enough freedom, in addition to the maids serving her, there were guards staring at her.
Ye Zhi sent her to the gate of the courtyard and said goodbye to her and left.
"Ye Zhi."
Mei Xiaoren stopped him and said slowly: "Actually, I went back to Beijing to find you. ”
Ye Zhi stopped and turned back in confusion.
"I have something to say to you."
Ye Zhi looked ahead and said indifferently: "Do you still want to repeat what you said in the south of the city that day?" I said, it has nothing to do with you who I like or dislike. ”
"No, it's the truth of the General's Mansion case."
"The truth? What else could there be? Ye Zhi's face became cold, "Old Prime Minister Gu fell for the tricks of the Xia people and sentenced my father to exile Yingtai, causing my father to die in another country, and he didn't even leave his bones!" ”
"That's not the case." Mei Xiaoren said.
"It's not too early, you rest first." After Ye Zhi finished speaking, he moved away, and he didn't seem to be interested in the truth she was referring to.
Mei Xiaoren looked at Ye Zhi's departing back, and there was something more urgent in his heart. Just now he said in front of Wei Guogong that he would get what he wanted for Wei Guogong within ten days, and she was afraid to think about it.
What he was referring to should have been - Soldier Talisman!
Mei Xiaoren could only hope that Jiang Rong would remember her advice, take the talisman, and give it to no one. The talisman may not be able to save the world, but it can protect Jiang Rong's life and the position of the crown prince, as long as the talisman is not in the hands of Wei Guogong, Wei Guogong does not have the courage to change the dynasty.
"Girl, please." The maid called.
Mei Xiaoren turned around and looked at the house in front of him, compared to the dilapidated house in the Wei State Mansion, it was simply a heaven and an underground.
As she entered the house, she asked, "Where is the old lady?" ”
"Back to the girl, the old lady is in the courtyard next to her, but the old lady's health has always been not very good, and the master does not allow us to disturb us more.
"Then do you young generals often visit the old lady?"
"As long as the master is in the house, he will visit the old lady every day."
Mei Xiaoren frowned. The truth she knew was told to her by the old prime minister, and Aunt Ye has always opposed Ye Zhi and Wei Guogong's company, which means that Aunt Ye probably also knows.
When she was in the hospital before, Aunt Ye had people from Wei Guogong by her side, in order to protect Ye Zhi, it was inconvenient for her to confide the truth, but now they are in the General's Mansion, even if they have the eyeliner of the Guogong Mansion here, they can't keep an eye on them all the time, and Aunt Ye always has the opportunity to tell Ye Zhi the truth.
Mei Xiaoren recalled Ye Zhi's previous reaction, he was not interested in listening to her, was it because he already knew?
If he had already known and was so obligated to be with Wei Guogong, then she really had nothing to say.
Imperial.
Jiang Rong was still anxiously waiting for news in the East Palace, I don't know if Master Wei has thought of a way to save the villain, and overheard the guards coming: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Ye Dutong asks to see." ”
"Ye Zhi?" Jiang Rong was taken aback, and Er suddenly realized, "How did I forget him!" ”
With the friendship between Ye Zhi and the villain, it is impossible for Ye Zhi to die without saving.
"Please!" Ei said eagerly.
Ye Zhi walked into the main hall under the leadership of the guards and bowed his hand: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Jiang Rong didn't even bother to sit, and when he saw Ye Zhi coming in, he greeted him, "Ye Zhi, do you know that the villain was ...... by your stepfather?"
Ye Zhi nodded without waiting for Jiang Ei to finish speaking, "I know, I have already gone to the other garden and begged my father-in-law to release Xiaomei." ”
"Wei Guogong agreed?" Ei wondered.
He didn't believe that Ji Heng would let the villain go, because even if he didn't want to admit that the villain was Gu Chuyu's life, it was also true. The day Gu Chuyu returned to Beijing was the time when the Prime Minister's Mansion turned over, and at that time, if Wei Guogong wanted to live, he had to use the villain as a bargaining chip to negotiate conditions with Gu Chuyu, how could he easily let her go.
"He refuses to let go, so I can talk about it, and I only ask him to agree to let Xiaomei live in my house, and I will be responsible for watching her." Ye Zhi arched his hand again, "Xiaomei is there now, I will take care of her, please rest assured, Your Highness." ”
Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, patted Ye Zhi's shoulder and sighed: "Fortunately, you are here!" ”
"After Li Guiren was arrested, I left Beijing on an errand, and the rest of the matter is not very clear, can Your Highness tell me why Xiaomei is in Beijing?"
Jiang Rong walked to the side of the hall and sat down, sighed, and was very distressed: "It's a long story, she originally came back to help me on behalf of the old prime minister and Gu Chuyu, but I caused her to fall into the hands of Wei Guogong......"
Jiang Rong told Ye Zhiting about the ins and outs of the future.
After Ye Zhi listened, his eyebrows were deeply locked: "I really didn't expect that Gu Xiang would have such a secret behind his control of the government, and I didn't expect his father-in-law to ...... He had other agendas. ”
"That's it, I don't blame you if you want to cling to Wei Guogong, in today's chaotic world, saving your life is the most important thing." Jiang Rong said again, "What's more, only you can protect the villain now, don't do it against Wei Guogong, in case you get into trouble with him like me, you are in danger, and the villain will have to be unlucky." ”
