After the canonization, Emperor Zun secretly summoned Ye Minghuan alone.

"See..."Before Ye Minghuan finished speaking, he was stopped by Emperor Zun, "Okay, don't be polite." ”

"Lately, how are you doing?" Emperor Zun cared.

"Thank you for your concern, the minister is very good." Ye Minghuan replied respectfully.

Emperor Zun couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ye Minghuan obeying the law of etiquette like this, "I still remember what you said at the Hundred Flowers Banquet this spring. But now, just nine months later, that has changed. ”

"Please forgive the emperor for the indecent words of the minister, and the minister will not do it again." Ye Minghuan heard Emperor Zun say this, and immediately knelt down and said.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to be so nervous." Emperor Zun helped Ye Minghuan up, "If I had been in the past, I would definitely think that your Ye Mansion was proud of it." However, over the years, I have also changed. ”

"In the past, I was very suspicious, so I lost a lot of hearts. No one spoke to me in the truth, not even my son. Emperor Zun sighed and said slowly, "Until Ling Xuanlan is born." ”

"Since Lan'er learned to speak, she likes to talk non-stop. One year, someone presented me with a painting, and I didn't think it looked good, but because it was made by a famous artist, if I said what was in my heart, it would seem that I didn't know how to appreciate it. At that time, for the sake of face, I still accepted it. ”

"All the people who saw this painting said it was beautiful and complimented me. Actually, I'm very upset. One day, Lan'er came to play with me, and when she saw this painting, she said that it was ugly. I'm glad I finally found a reason to take the painting down. But the queen on the side was very frightened and hurriedly made amends for me. ”

"That's when I learned that sometimes I don't do much, and I make mistakes. Since then, I have gradually opened my mind and gradually gained true people. Lan'er also retained his honest and impartial character, which is why I passed on the crown prince position to him. ”

Ye Minghuan quietly listened to Emperor Zun reminiscing about the past, but he didn't know what he meant by saying this.

"Lan'er and Che'er have been fighting openly and secretly, and I know all this. When I am old, the people in the court will naturally have their own choices, and party strife is inevitable. But I will do my best to maintain a balance between the two factions. However, in the midst of the party struggle, I also saw the difference between the two of them. Che'er is ruthless and unscrupulous. But Lan'er is different, sometimes when his uncle does something too excessive, he will stop it. ”

"Just like this time, Che'er, it completely broke my heart." Emperor Zun closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

"Emperor... What do you mean by that? Ye Minghuan heard him say this, and his heart froze.

Could it be that this matter of Daddy really has nothing to do with Ling Xuanlan?

"What I mean is that Lan'er has been completely wronged in this matter." Emperor Zun picked up a stack of files from the table, "You take a look first." ”

On the file are the facts that the secret guard has discovered, and there are now suspicions.

The more Ye Minghuan looked at it, the more shocked he became, and his hand holding the file was trembling.

Emperor Zun looked at her expression and became more and more excited, and said, "Lan'er has now left the imperial city and gone to the border under my arrangement. ”

"In order not to startle the snake, I pretended not to believe Lan'er, but in fact, I made Che'er take it lightly, so I let Lan'er escape. After all, under the pressure of hundreds of officials, I must give an explanation. In such a short period of time, I can't find anything, so I can only send Lan'er away now and make another plan. ”

"I'll announce tomorrow that Lan'er has fled south. Attract their attention, so that Lan'er can reach the border safely, and investigate the collusion between the Demon Realm and Che'er for me. ”

Emperor Zun slowly said the plan, and then turned around and told him what he wanted Ye Minghuan to do.

But he listened to Ye Minghuan and said resolutely, "Emperor, what do you want the minister to do, the minister must do his best!" ”

Emperor Zun looked at her with red eyes, as if holding back tears, and suddenly felt that she was really not easy.

Her own princess is as old as her, loved by thousands of people, and now she is still like a child, crying when she wants to cry, laughing when she wants to laugh, without any hindrance. But the girl in front of her, alone, can no longer be like a child, crying when she wants to.

"What I want you to do is to approach Ling Xuanche and get evidence from him." Emperor Zun approached her, patted her on the back for comfort, and said, "Anything else you can investigate besides colluding with the Demon Realm, bring it to me and give it to me." ”

"Yes!"

Emperor Zun looked at Ye Minghuan, hesitated, and said, "Huan'er, besides this matter, I have other things to tell you." ”

Ye Minghuan was stunned when he saw that Emperor Zun's self-proclaimed name had changed, and looked at Emperor Zun with some doubts.

Emperor Zun took a deep breath and said slowly, "I am also old, although there are several children under my knees, most of them are still children. The only one who is powerful, except for Lan'er, is Che'er. But now, Che'er can no longer inherit the throne, and I can only hope for Lan'er. ”

"Lan'er has never seen him so interested in that girl for so many years." Emperor Zun looked at Ye Minghuan and said.

Ye Minghuan only felt that the old man in front of him was no longer a high-ranking emperor, but an old man who was worried about his son.

"But you were an accident. He rebelled against his mother for your sake. For your sake, he said he was going to vacate the harem. For your sake, he lays down the dignity of his left and right. My family Lan'er is such an arrogant person, no one has ever dared to point a sword at him like you, and he is not angry. Once upon a time, the children of several ministers came into the palace to play with him, and a girl knocked him on the head with a branch, and he was angry, not to mention that you pointed a sword at him. ”

Emperor Zun looked at Ye Minghuan, and when he saw that she was stunned for a moment, he knew that she and Ling Xuanlan still had room to turn around, so he said again, expecting to be close to pleading, "I know, Lan'er is a long-term person. He takes a fancy to you, and he won't change his mind again. And you are also my favorite candidate for the future diva. ”

"I want you to take over the Ye family's army, not for anything else, but I just hope that you can take this army with you to help my son clear all obstacles and ascend to the position of this emperor. and he will grow old together until death. ”

"It's not a request from an emperor, it's from an old father."

Ye Minghuan was very moved when he heard him say this. All the distrust and misunderstandings that used to be in him melted in an instant.

"Okay, I promise you." Ye Minghuan said softly.

"There is one more thing," Emperor Zun picked up a white crystal necklace from the table and handed it to Ye Minghuan, "This is what my spies at the border pass brought back to me." This is not an ordinary person's thing, if I order someone to check, it will be more difficult, you are familiar with some young ladies of the family, you go to find out where this necklace comes from. ”

"Yes." Ye Minghuan commanded.

After Ye Minghuan retired, she kept recalling Emperor Zun's words in her heart, and the more she recalled, the more moved she was, and the more she missed Ling Xuanlan.

He had now gone to the border, and before he left, he didn't have time to look at him again. has not yet solved the misunderstanding, let him leave with sorrow. She was suddenly very worried about Ling Xuanlan, who was bitter and cold over there, and she didn't know where he was, whether he would be doing well, whether he would be injured, whether he would... Like Daddy...

Ye Minghuan thought about this and quickly shook her head, "No," she said secretly in her heart, "Ling Xuanlan won't die." ”

"Daddy, your spirit in the sky, you must protect him."

"If anything happens to him, I'll save him. I've lost my daddy, I can't, lose him again. ”
