Chapter 21: Imprisoned

After Yang Boxiang returned to the room, there was no unusual look on his face. Handing the things Wen Zimo asked for to his hand, Yang Boxiang stood behind Ye Zixuan, listening to Ye Zixuan knocking on the side and asking Wen Zimo what he thought about the war between the two countries.

Wen Zimo was not stupid, and naturally heard the meaning of Ye Zixuan's words. But what he couldn't understand was, why did Ye Zixuan come to talk to him directly about this matter? Does this Ye Zixuan feel that he has the right and status to determine this matter? Or is it ...... Did the emperor ask him to come to him?

Wen Zimo was silent and stopped speaking, Ye Zixuan turned around and exchanged glances with Yang Boxiang, and then stood up.

"It's not too early, it's time to go back to the palace." After Ye Zixuan finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

"Do you think that if the Yunchuan Kingdom fights with the Western Kingdom, what are the chances of winning?" Wen Zimo asked unexpectedly when Ye Zixuan opened the door.

"In my opinion, there is no chance of winning. But since it's the general who asked this question personally, it's not good for me not to give you face. Well, that's it. ”

Ye Zixuan was half joking, half serious to answer Wen Zimo's question, so that Wen Zimo couldn't help but smile softly after hearing his answer, and said, "Prince Qi is really confident. ”

"I've always been."

After Ye Zixuan finished speaking, he strode out of the room and walked in the direction of the palace. Wen Zimo looked at his back as he walked away, and couldn't help but follow. Wen Zimo wanted to see how Ye Zixuan would mention the matter of the two countries to the emperor after entering the palace.

Seeing that the emperor's birthday is approaching, Ye Zixuan mentioning this matter at this time will inevitably make people feel that he is not here to celebrate his birthday, but to provoke.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan appeared again on the way out of the house in Yezixuan. Ye Zixuan looked at Shen Yunyou's rather solemn expression with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued to tease without letting go: "If Miss Shen has time, why don't you accompany me into the palace and play two songs for me?" ”

"The prince really likes to laugh, I was specially invited by General Wen to cheer up the emperor's birthday, and I have already presented a song on the day of the prince's first arrival, how can I play other songs for you? If you really want to hear it, please wait a few more days. Or, after returning to the Western Kingdom, you can do it. ”

"Can this king understand that Miss Shen is inviting this king to return to China and see each other again?" Ye Zixuan chuckled lightly, and under the gaze of several people, he said slowly: "Miss Shen has this heart, and this king is happy." I just hope that Miss Shen will not forget the agreement between you and me today, if he sees that this king is down, or in trouble, don't pretend not to know. ”

"The prince laughed again." Shen Yunyou lowered his head and sent Ye Zixuan and the others away. After they disappeared, Shen Yunyou slowly raised his head and said to Bai Moyan beside him, "Do you understand what he means?" ”

Bai Moyan seriously thought about what Ye Zixuan had just said, and only felt a little strange, but he didn't guess what he meant so quickly. Bai Moyan shook his head and said in a low voice, "Tell me about it." ”

"If Zixuan and Bo Xiang really came to talk to Wen Zimo about state affairs, they couldn't have left so soon. He knew that Qiu Shenghan and I were specially found by Wen Zimo, just to play a song on the emperor's birthday, and appearing at his banquet that day was already enough to give him face, how could he be so aggressive in front of Wen Zimo again? ”

"You mean......" Bai Moyan followed Shen Yunyou's words, and continued: "And he also mentioned that he was downcast or in trouble, maybe in Wen Zimo's ears he was just joking, or taking the opportunity to tease you, but in fact, ......"

Bai Moyan's voice gradually lowered, and finally she swallowed the second half of the sentence directly into her stomach. As Shen Yunyou nodded, Bai Moyan's heart sank suddenly. It seems that Ye Zixuan and Yang Boxiang are planning to drag her and Shen Yunyou into their plan, and it is very likely that they will be rescued by them. But now, what can the two of them do to help?

"Where did Qiu Shenghan run again?" Shen Yunyou looked around, but he didn't see Qiu Shenghan's figure, and he was a little annoyed. "You can't find anyone when it's critical! Mo Yan, let's go, let's go back to the room first and get ready to go. ”

Although Shen Yunyou said this, in fact, they really didn't have anything to prepare for now. After each of them was nervous, they had to wait for news from the palace before making their next move.

After Ye Zixuan returned to the palace, followed by Wen Zimo behind him, he came to the imperial study where Yin Shangyu was. Standing outside the door and waiting for a while, after waiting for the minister inside to come out, Ye Zixuan smiled and walked in.

"Didn't Prince Qi say that he was going to the General's Mansion to talk to General Wen about something? Why did you come back so soon? Yin Shangyu raised his head and looked at Ye Zixuan and Wen Zimo who were standing in front of him, and then lowered his head to look at the folds on the table, waiting for Ye Zixuan to answer him.

"Back to the emperor, I originally talked to General Wen about things with him at his mansion, but there were some issues where General Wen and I did not agree with each other, so I proposed to enter the palace to ask the emperor for his opinion and listen to the emperor's opinion."

"Oh? Tell me what it is. Yin Shangyu heard Ye Zixuan say this, and immediately became interested. Closing the things at hand, Yin Shangyu leaned on the back of the chair and clasped his hands in front of his chest, stared at Wen Zimo intently, and said, "General Wen, come on." ”

Wen Zimo heard Ye Zixuan and Yin Shangyu say this, and he understood that Ye Zixuan deliberately wanted to drag himself into the water. Because when he came to his house, it was more accurate for him to threaten himself than to talk about something with himself. He said that he proposed to enter the palace to find the emperor, did he want to say those words in front of the emperor? Isn't he the same as looking for death?

"Back to the emperor, Prince Qi came to my mansion to talk to his ministers about the war between the two countries, who wins and who loses." Wen Zimo thought about it, but he was not ambiguous, and directly moved Ye Zixuan's words out. "The prince said that if our country is at war with the Western Kingdom, there is no hope for our country to win."

After Wen Zimo finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into an awkward and tense atmosphere. Yin Shangyu looked at Ye Zixuan with a smile, and Ye Zixuan looked at him fearlessly.

Yin Shangyu was a little puzzled, Ye Zixuan obviously knew what the consequences would be if he said these words, how could he dare to do this? He was sent by the Western Kingdom to celebrate his birthday? Or do you want to add to the blockage? Even if it's the latter, the day he chose must be a little wrong, right? There are still a few days left before Ye Zixuan leaves Yunchuan Kingdom, isn't he afraid of angering himself and losing his life?

"Lord Qi, I don't understand what you mean." Yin Shangyu spoke in a low voice and asked, "Are you threatening me?" ”

"If the emperor understands it this way, I don't object to it. Because what I said was the truth. Ye Zixuan's bold opening made Yin Shangyu and Wen Zimo not expect that he would answer like this. Don't hide it from the emperor, before I came to your country this time, I had already received news that Yunchuan Kingdom intended to declare war on the Western Kingdom. I wonder if this information is accurate? ”

"Bold!" Yin Shangyu slapped the case suddenly, glared at Ye Zixuan, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, isn't what I said obvious enough? I'm just trying to advise you not to act rashly. ”

Ye Zixuan didn't save face for Yin Shangyu at all, and even when he spoke, he didn't stop his eyes on Yin Shangyu's body, which made Yin Shangyu furious. Even if he is the prince of the Western Kingdom, he is also the king of a country, how can he be so threatening and despised?

"Come on, press him down for me!" Yin Shang's tone was uncontrollable, which made Wen Zimo on the side frown.

"Please think twice!" What is the difference between locking up Yezixuan now and declaring war on the Western Kingdom?

"What? Don't you think we can't beat them?! Yin Shangyu looked at Wen Zimo coldly and said, "Take him down for me!" Locked in a dungeon! ”

Ye Zixuan's few words angered Yin Shangyu, and before he had lived a good life in the palace for two days, he was imprisoned in a cold dungeon. And those who were involved together, of course, were Yang Boxiang.

The two sat on the hay facing each other, Yang Boxiang looked at the guards standing not far from the door, and asked Ye Zixuan in a puzzled whisper, "What's the problem?" ”

"I'm doing this for your own good." Ye Zixuan glanced at Yang Boxiang, and lay down with a big thorn, not realizing his danger at all. "After so many days, it's time to take a good rest. I'll leave the rest to my wife. As for you, just wait for Mo Yan to save you. ”

Ye Zixuan comforted Yang Boxiang so that he didn't have to worry, no matter what, Yin Shangyu didn't dare to torture them or kill them, and putting them in a dungeon was already the limit. Seeing that the emperor of this Yunchuan country does not eat hard, then let Shen Yunyou and the others give him some soft food.

"You can't underestimate women, this is something that Yin Shangyu must be aware of. When he knew that he couldn't even defeat a princess or even a maid of the Western Kingdom, he would naturally give up the idea of attacking the Western Kingdom. Otherwise, Yunchuan Guo acted rashly, and he would only hit the stone with an egg, and there would be no good end. Ye Zixuan adjusted his posture, turned to look at Yang Boxiang, and asked with interest: "It's you, what did you find in the General's Mansion today?" ”

Yang Boxiang remembered the portrait he saw, lowered his eyes and fell silent. After a while, he said slowly: "Wen Zimo left Yun You and the others to live in the General's Mansion, I'm afraid it's not for nothing. He has known Mo Yan for a long time, and I don't know if he has already guessed Mo Yan's identity. In short, this person should be difficult to deal with. ”
