Ye Yunyi looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief, he didn't expect that his Ye family and the Queen Mother still had such a relationship.

"How is this possible, my Ye family has always remained neutral, and has only been a military general for generations, never participating in court battles", Ye Yunyi questioned.

"Your Ye family has always been neutral, but because of this, your Ye family will always be able to be outside the center of power, and by your grandfather's time, even if the Ye family has made outstanding achievements, it is still difficult to escape the fate of decline", it seems that knowing that Ye Yunyi does not believe it, the Queen Mother said surprisingly again.

"So?" Ye Yunyi still didn't believe it, in the secret of the Dark Pavilion, there was indeed no record of this period of history, and in his memory, the Ye Mansion had never been rich and noble, but it was not going to decline.

"Your Ye family has always been trained in the army, but why did your father become Gaozu's guard, have you thought about it?"

"Because of some kind of promise", the Ye family renewed, Ye Yunyi said without thinking.

"Wait, it's not going to be 。。。。。"

"It seems that you have figured it out, the reason why your grandfather and your father did this is a promise made with me, I promised him that as long as I am here, the Ye family will be there, but he has to help me complete one thing, monitor Gaozu, by the way, is it Gaozu or the eldest prince."

The Queen Mother said this secret unhurriedly, even if Ye Yunyi was the master of the Dark Pavilion, she was still surprised by the Queen Mother's methods.

"Then the Queen Mother, you told me this, you want me to stop, do you want to regain that position?" Ye Yunyi asked his guess with some uncertainty.

"I'm an old man, do you think that even if I sit in that position, I will have a few years to sit in," the Queen Mother said quietly.

Ye Yunyi still doesn't know what the promise reached by his grandfather Ye Zhenjun and the Queen Mother is, everyone else is a pit father's son, but he is a pit grandson's grandfather.

So I am afraid that the Queen Mother will threaten me with this, and I don't want to have too much to do with the Queen Mother, otherwise it will go against my original intention.

seemed to see Ye Yunyi's reluctance, "Don't worry, your grandfather's promise does not include you."

"Since my grandfather has a promise to you, then why didn't you order to get rid of Gao Zu directly when Gao Zu returned? Wouldn't there be no such thing as a follow-up? ”

"yes, why didn't you put your mind to it in the first place?" The Queen Mother asked herself in front of Ye Yunyi.

"Everyone in the world wants to be on the throne, but I don't know, that throne is very lonely, we are a woman, I wanted to be a husband and a child, and a happy family, but the first emperor died early, leaving orphans and widows, and several princes rushed to raise troops, if I don't stand up, then my fate can be imagined."

The Queen Mother said, taking Qin Luoyao's hand, as if she was telling her own story, and she thought that she was feeling sorry for Qin Luoyao, a daughter-in-law with a similar fate, but it was more like she was telling Ye Yunyi.

The Empress Dowager paused, "In any case, I have no reason to make a move against the Ye family, presumably you said this time." The change is the self-made proposition of Uncle Chu."

"If you can, the mourning family hopes that the Dark Pavilion can come out of the shadows and lead the Chu State to become strong, and you can take the position of monarch instead, I believe that with your identity as the master of the Dark Pavilion, there will be no hindrance, this can be regarded as my return for my commitment to your Ye Mansion", the Empress Dowager continued.

"I don't know why the Queen Mother changed her mind"? Ye Yunyi asked the Queen Mother with a slight mockery.

"When did the power plot be so merciful, the Queen Mother was very nervous about me, the Pavilion Master of the Ye Mansion", Ye Yunyi didn't believe the Queen Mother's words, suspecting that this was a temptation.

"Originally, I wanted to see the current chaos and who in the royal family could come out to preside over the overall situation, but after meeting you, I changed my mind, and I saw something different in your eyes."

The queen mother still had such a calm voice, but in Ye Yunyi's eyes, she was a little frightened, afraid that the queen mother would see through her.

"The Queen Mother is thinking too much, whether it is the throne you are talking about, or the incomparable glory, it is not my ambition, and even the position of the master of the Dark Pavilion is not my wish", Ye Yunyi retracted his gaze from afar, and said on the topic.

"When the matter of Chu is settled, I will leave, I heard that there is a fairy trail north of the border of Chu State, I think I am more suitable for a life of leisure."

"The mourning family has seen all kinds of people over the years, and it is the first time I have seen such an answer, even if your father just wanted to make a name for himself."

Let's talk about it, I believe that people have thoughts, just with your current status, what else do you want, the mourning family can go back to my Jining Temple with peace of mind to pray for the blessing of the Chu State." The Queen Mother still looked at the nearby street and said a little sadly.

"I don't know if the Queen Mother wants to hear the truth or a lie", Ye Yunyi said lightly.

"I believe that what the Pavilion Master of the Dark Pavilion said is the truth," the Queen Mother retorted.

Ye Yunyi didn't know if it was okay. smiled and said, "I don't know if the Queen Mother would like to hear my story."

"The mourners want to hear it."

"When I was first elected as the master of the Dark Pavilion, there were only three people left in the Ye family, and my grandfather could only be sick in bed all the year round because of his previous affairs, and he died three years later."

"Since my father helped the Chu State to defend the Yan State during that attack, which ministers have been suspicious, even Gaozu has been moved, and directly ordered not to come back unless he is called."

"In these years, there has been a Ye Mansion in Nuoda, and there is only an old housekeeper and me as a companion. This was followed by endless training in the Dark Chamber."

"Later, in my spare time when I practiced martial arts, I saw the girl next door who liked to lie on my wall or stand on the attic of her house on the high point of her house and watch me practice martial arts.

"Later, when she was flying a kite, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the kite fell in my yard, I went to pick it up and return it to her, and I had my first contact with her, and in the process of returning it, I smelled the fragrance of gardenia on her body."

"Since then, I've fallen in love with the light and light taste."

"After that, I just want to be strong and keep the scent or the girl I will never forget, even if she doesn't know that I want to protect her."

"Then there was the death of Gaozu and the accession of Emperor Chu to the throne, and I was sent to Yan to carry out a mission in order to complete the final test of taking over as the pavilion master."

"When I returned to Chu with a scar, I only saw the entire imperial city decorated with lights, and it was festive."

"I'm still thinking, didn't I die all my life to protect the peace of this land, and when I returned to Yefu, I learned that Emperor Chu married the person he wanted to protect that day."

"I saw with my own eyes that the girl I never forgot was helped into the sedan chair by the palace maid."

As he spoke, Ye Yunyi Ye Yunyi's gaze passed through the Queen Mother, looked at Qin Luoyao behind the Queen Mother, and talked about the past little by little.

"I thought I was strong, but that time it broke me straight away, and then I collapsed."

"I refused to accept the last Dark Pavilion Master to take over, but within a few days, I was forcibly taken to the castle tower here by the Dark Pavilion Elder Mo Xie and asked me what I saw."

"I said I saw people, I saw streets".

Mo Xie said: "No, you only see yourself, every Dark Pavilion Master must have the people of Chu in his heart, not personal honor and disgrace, you are an image."

"It was he who woke me up, I am the master of the Dark Pavilion, no longer the prince of Yefu, my heart must be able to pretend to be the common people of the Chu State, and I can see farther places."

"So I can answer you with certainty now, the Queen Mother, now the rest of my thoughts are as far as my eyes can see, Guotai Minsheng, the dark pavilion has sacrificed too much for this country over the years, and you only see the throne under your feet."

After finishing speaking, Ye Yunyi avoided Qin Luoyao's resentful gaze, put his hands into his cuffs, and walked down slowly, while the Queen Mother looked at the distance that Ye Yunyi had seen and was silent for a long time.
