Chapter 19: Parting is imminent
In the year 779 of the Osiris Empire, the wise Francis IX made a decision that surprised many people, that is, to give an eight-year-old child, the status of a third-class viscount. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The nobility is divided into five titles of male earls and dukes, each of which is divided into three ranks, and the third viscount is not too noble, but it is already very good for an eight-year-old child.
What is even more surprising is that Francis IX also gave him a territory.
And the most surprising thing is that this territory is a mess that almost the entire Osiris Empire knows, the Emerald Green.
What kind of place is the Emerald Greenland, chaotic and full of danger, not to mention the ordinary nobles, even if they are the children of the big nobles, they can't get mixed up when they get there, and their lives will be in danger at any time, and now they actually let a little child go to be the lord of the Emerald Greenland, isn't this pushing this poor child into the fire pit?
There are some people who are worried about Ye Zhi's future, as well as regrets, in their opinion, Ye Zhi will definitely not last long, and they just hope that he can return safely.
Of course, these people are only a small part, they are all people from the old prince's lineage, as well as Prince Ye Ming's people, who love the house and Wu, and of course they are interested in Prince Ye Ming's only son.
And many people are gloating, and even opened a handicap to bet on how long Ye Zhi can support it.
From one day to ten days, the most people bet on one day, and the odds are the lowest, and the odds are the highest for ten days, of course, they don't bet, because they don't think that the group of people in the emerald green land will be kind enough not to teach Ye Zhi a lesson.
Only a very small number of people who know the inside story will know that Ye Zhi took over the territory this time, and he was not going to die at all. Ye Zhi went to take over there, it was completely a danger signal that the wolf was coming, and the person who came was not good.
The cunning people knew that it was not simple, but they didn't know what was going on, because the identity of the little dragon girl was highly secret, and only a few people such as Francis IX and the emperor and queen knew about it. But this did not prevent these old foxes, smelling something from it, and then ordering their subordinates, especially the group of people in the Emerald Greenland, to restrain a little.
Of course, the order was to go down, but how many people listened, I don't know.
After being awarded the status of viscount, Ye Zhi went to talk to the old prince, and at this time, there was a trace of sadness on the old prince's face that could not be concealed. In the old prince's mind, his grandson is, of course, the most intelligent and excellent.
It's a pity that Ye Zhi is too young, and he doesn't have any foundation at all, so what is he going to do to fight with that group of ruthless people. The old prince was very worried, but he couldn't let Francis IX take back his fate, firstly, because the old prince had a deep-rooted concept that the monarch wanted to die, and the minister had to die;
Looking at his grandfather's dissatisfied and sad face, Ye Zhi's heart ached slightly, and he slowly walked up, holding the old prince's rough, calloused and very stiff hand, and shouted softly: "Grandpa, I'm sorry to worry you." ”
After the old prince glanced at Ye Zhi deeply, he shook his head and said: "Eleven, since you were a child, you have always paid attention to yourself, what do you want to do, grandpa, I will never stop you, but this time, you are a little risky, that place, you go as a child, it is simply a wolf into the tiger's mouth." ”
"Grandpa, can you have some confidence in your grandson, I am absolutely sure that I will do this. Trust me, give me a little time, and I will prove to you that everything I have done is right and will make you proud of me. ”
There is no passionate and generous guarantee, and there is no oath of Top Gun, Ye Zhi said it very plainly, but the determination contained in it is so unwavering that the old prince seems to see a general who has gone to the battlefield. Since the situation on that battlefield is not optimistic and unpredictable, this 'general' still firmly believes that he will win.
There is no need for too many words, because the old prince has already seen everything Ye Zhi wants to say in Ye Zhi's eyes. The old prince patted Ye Zhi's shoulder heavily and said, "It's worthy of my Ye family's seed, go do it, just sit down if you want to do it, I will definitely fully support you." But your mother is worried about you, go see her and talk to her. ”
"Well, thank you grandpa, I will. At this moment, Ye Zhi's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, and there was a warm current flowing in his heart, which was called moving.
What a beautiful thing it is to have relatives who believe in you and support you unwaveringly.
After saying goodbye to the old prince, Ye Zhi went to his mother, Princess Shuxian.
When Ye Zhi found Princess Shuxian, Princess Shuxian was in Ye Zhi's room at this time, helping Ye Zhi pack up her clothes, she cleaned up slowly and carefully, and even wiped her tears from time to time during the process.
Reluctantly, she was reluctant to let Ye Zhi leave, but she couldn't stop it, and she didn't want to stop it. Because she knew that Ye Zhi did not belong to her, although she had already treated Ye Zhi as her biological son, Ye Zhi had always been picked up, and his intelligence and excellence had already been far beyond ordinary people.
The old prince didn't have any doubts, they just thought that Ye Zhi was born with extraordinary talents, but in Princess Shuxian's heart, she thought that Ye Zhi was not an ordinary child.
From that moment on, Princess Shuxian knew that Ye Zhi would leave her sooner or later, because Ye Zhi was so extraordinary, he would not stay in the prince's mansion forever, and the wonderful world outside was his world.
Princess Shuxian had such a premonition, and she also thought of the day when Ye Zhi left to fly with her wings, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly, so suddenly, so suddenly that even though she had already been mentally prepared, she still couldn't accept it.
Looking at everything that Princess Shuxian did for herself silently, at this moment, her eyes were already moistened, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
It was only at this moment that Ye Zhi knew that in fact, in his heart, he had long regarded Princess Shuxian as his mother. This prince's mansion is his home, and he already has a deep affection for this place, and now he wants to leave here and go to a strange place, which is so reluctant.
"I'm sorry, my mother. Ye Zhi said softly, although he was very reluctant, he had to go, because he was not only for himself, but also for his eldest brother and this family.
Ye Zhi left quietly, and when it was night, Ye Zhi came to Princess Shuxian's room with a basin of hot water.
"Mother. ”
"Zhi'er, is there something wrong?" Princess Shuxian was a little surprised, because Ye Zhi rarely took the initiative to come to her room, especially at night.
"Mother, I'll wash your feet. ”
"Wash your feet?" Princess Shuxian was very stunned, Ye Zhi was making a fuss, and actually wanted to help her wash her feet. Looking at Ye Zhi's small figure, holding a basin of hot water, his small face was firm and indifferent.
"Yes, it's just washing the feet, isn't it a natural thing for the son to wash the mother's feet?"
The room was quiet, Ye Zhi and Princess Shuxian did not speak, at this time there was only the sound of flowing water, Ye Zhi gently washed the feet of Princess Shuxian, he washed very seriously, and he was very focused, as if he was cleaning the most precious treasures in the world.
While helping Princess Shuxian wash her feet, Ye Zhi also used his own mana to continuously nourish Princess Shuxian's body through the stimulation of acupuncture points, and helped Princess Shuxian's physical condition to be adjusted to the best state.
Ye Zhi knew that Princess Shuxian had always wanted one a few years ago, which belonged to her and Prince Ye Ming's biological son, but because she gave birth to ten daughters, after gradually entering middle age, Princess Shuxian's body could no longer meet the requirements of childbirth.
He is not a dutiful son, and he will not be able to serve her in the future, so Ye Zhi helped Princess Shuxian to adjust her body so that she could have children again.
Let your younger brother do his filial piety for himself and do what he can't do.
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Zhi could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and the hot tears dripped onto Princess Shuxian's instep, the blazing temperature made Princess Shuxian's heart tremble violently, and her heart twitched, and the tears that she couldn't hold back were dazzling.
"I'm sorry, Princess. Ye Zhi raised his head, looked at the tearful Princess Shuxian, looked at each other with a thousand tears, Ye Zhi wanted to say a lot, but in the end it all turned into the last sentence, I'm sorry, only I'm sorry can express the guilt in Ye Zhi's heart.
"Needless to say, I see. Princess Shuxian gently stroked Ye Zhi's face and said: "Good men are ambitious, do what you want to do, as long as you are safe, don't be too reckless outside......"
Princess Shuxian whispered word by word, Ye Zhi listened carefully and kept all these words in mind. Princess Shuxian has been saying for a long time, but what she said is only part of what she wants to say, and there are many, many, many things she wants to say.
"Mother, I will remember everything you say, and I will take care of myself when I am away. By the way, this is an elixir for you, you should take it on time, it will help to nourish your body. In the future, every once in a while, I will regularly send pills to you and your sister to recuperate. ”
"yes, I see. Princess Shuxian silently accepted the pill given by Ye Zhi into her arms, "It's late, you go back to sleep, you still have to go tomorrow, don't be tired." ”
"Mother, you also have a good rest. With that, Ye Zhi left with the basin of water.
