Ye Qianhuai did not stay in Yonghe Palace.

It wasn't she who proposed it, but Chen Julian first proposed that the emperor would return to Jingshou Palace to rest on the grounds that he was not sleeping well after drinking.

Ye Tianhuai immediately pushed the boat down the river, and before leaving, he drew a few cakes for Chen Julian.

What a girl in the show. Ye Tianhuai sighed in his heart, and decided to pick out two expensive jewelry that was easy to carry for her tomorrow as a birthday gift, and then told her to wear them when she went home to save her relatives.

Soon, a gossip that "the emperor and the concubine had a deep conversation about the six palaces of the Houyonghe Palace in one night" spread quickly throughout the harem.

It even spread from the harem to the former dynasty and to the Gu Mansion.

Gu Shihai was so angry that he immediately smashed an expensive blue and white glazed teacup.

"Huangkou Xiaoer, do you think Chen Yuansi can buy you in this way?" He scolded angrily.

After scolding, he instructed the doorman next to him: "Send a letter to Gu Haiwang and let him find a way to carry this month no matter what." ”

——

Since Princess Shuyao's birthday, Ye Qianhuai has not set foot in the harem for a long time.

Because it's too busy.

On the fifth day of August, Du Zhengen was beheaded for public display.

Ye Tianhuai came to the execution ground in person and reserved a place for Qin Yang beside him.

Although he was no longer her bodyguard.

But she promised Qin Yang that she would let him kill Qin Baozhu's murderer.

Although he can't be allowed to stab the enemy now, he should at least let him watch the murderer with his own eyes.

The entire execution process was supervised by Lin Yuxiu, and it was very smooth.

The moment the guillotine slashed, many people couldn't help but look away, and they couldn't bear to look at each other.

Ye Qianhuai stared at Du Zhengen for a moment, and it wasn't until she watched his head fall to the ground that she felt that a stone in her heart that had been pressed for a long time had finally been removed.

She grimaced and sighed silently.

Coming out of the execution ground, Ye Tianhuai went straight to the prison.

Du Jing will be sent from here to Leizhou for exile tomorrow.

Ye Tianhuai decided to come to see him one last time.

Du Jing is completely like a different person.

He wore his hair loosely, black hair mixed with strands of white hair, as if he hadn't washed it for several years, and the prison uniform on his body was also full of dirt, he was thinner than the last time Ye Tianhuai saw him, and his body was much more rickety, as if he was ten years older.

The head of the four sons who were famous in Shengjing back then is really embarrassing to end up like this.

Hearing the sound of the guards announcing the arrival of the emperor, Du Jing slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Qianhuai outside the railing.

His deep-set eye sockets were a little yellow, and a pair of godless eyes were embedded in them, looking at Ye Tianhuai blankly.

The jailer stepped forward and opened the door.

Ye Tianhuai stepped into the cell with his hands in his hands, and said to the guards behind him without looking back: "You all retreat." ”

"Your Majesty......" spoke to the newly promoted imperial guard, named Yuan Renting, who was promoted by Zhao Yinshi from the forbidden army.

The young man in his early twenties still doesn't understand Ye Tianhuai's temperament, which the emperor is accustomed to. As the first person in charge of the emperor's personal safety, his professionalism made it impossible for him to let the emperor and the exile be alone.

"It's okay, let's go." Ye Tianhuai raised his hand and pressed the saber on his side. As long as she leaves the palace now, she has never left her sword.

Under the repeated teaching of Lu Yanchen and Zhao Yinshi, her swordsmanship has already taken on some shapes. Although it is too early to say that it is too early to go into battle to kill the enemy, he is still somewhat confident in the face of an unarmed and yellow-skinned former criminal department Shangshu.

Compared with his own personal safety, Ye Tianhuai was more worried about the situation of many eyes, Du Jing refused to talk to her.

Although the emperor's words were gentle, Yuan Renting could feel an invisible power from her, which made him dare not disobey.

After everyone retreated, Ye Qianhuai turned his attention back to Du Jing.

"Master Du, I'm here to see you off." Ye Tianhuai got straight to the point.

The corners of Du Jing's mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, but his cheeks were as stiff as stones, and he couldn't laugh.

The two were silent for a while, and Ye Qianhuai said: "At noon today, Du Zhengen was corrected, and I went to see it." ”

Du Jing didn't react, but his eyes drooped a little.

"Do you regret it?"

Ye Tianhuai looked at him, there was no joy or anger on his face, as if he was examining an antique that couldn't speak.

The afternoon sunlight poured into the cell through the small window behind Du Jing, casting his backlit figure onto the cold stone floor. Ye Tianhuai half stood in the shadow of the cell, and his feet happened to step on the shadow of Du Jing's head.

After a long while, Du Jing suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "What does Your Majesty want the guilty minister to regret?" Do you regret contracting Du Zhengen? Or do you regret keeping Gu Changshi? ”

Ye Tianhuai didn't speak, just stared at him calmly.

Du Jing shook his head slowly and said, "The sinner has no regrets. Again, the sinners will do the same. ”

"Is Gu Haiwang worth it for you to do this?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

If it weren't for the long-life lock of Gu Haiwang, Du Zhengen's case could have been dragged out, and he wouldn't have had to take risks to exchange death row prisoners.

Du Jing is like a pool of stagnant water, no matter what Ye Qianhuai says, it can't stir up ripples.

But his eyes were not so calm when he looked at Ye Tianhuai.

Ye Tianhuai saw in his eyes a persistence that should not belong to the exile.

The last time the two of them were talking and playing at night in the Qinxian Palace, Du Jing seemed to have such persistence in his eyes. The difference is that at this moment, he looked at Ye Tianhuai and no longer had the fear and temptation at that time.

"Gu Haiwang is not worth it, but Gu Ge is worth it." Du Jing replied.

Ye Qianhuai frowned slightly.

These henchmen of Gu Shihai are really loyal to him. At this time, he can still say such things.

Seeing Ye Tianhuai frowning, Du Jing smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "In Your Majesty's heart, do you think that the ministers deserve to die, and Gu Ge Lao is also a traitor?" Your Majesty will understand in the future that there are more people in this world who deserve to die than criminal ministers, and there are also more traitorous ministers in the court who are more difficult to deal with than Gu Ge Lao. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't regret it after asking the guilty minister, the only thing the guilty minister regrets is that he underestimated His Majesty." He paused, and looked at Ye Qianhuai's eyes also lit up, flashing with hatred, "Is it worth it for Your Majesty to ask the guilty minister, and the guilty minister also wants to ask Your Majesty, is it worth it to turn the court upside down for the sake of a folk girl who doesn't know her origin?" I wonder if Your Majesty will regret it one day when he finds out that there is no one available in the court? ”

Hearing him take the initiative to mention Qin Baozhu, Ye Tianhuai suddenly became angry, and she tried her best to keep calm and said: "She is my Lan concubine, not some folk girl who doesn't know her origin. As for whether there is anyone available in the court, it is not something you should worry about. ”

"Your Majesty came to send the guilty minister today, do you want to see how the criminal minister is down, so as to comfort Concubine Lan's soul in the sky?" When he said the words "Concubine Lan", he couldn't hide the sarcastic look on his face.
