Chapter 122: Ye Zhongyao dies
"Do you admit these sins?"
Ye Zhongyao's hand loosened, the long sword fell to the ground, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
Gu Liwu was stunned.
Ye Zhongyao slowly looked up at him, shook his head silently, and then his voice was loud, decisive and firm:
"I admit it!"
"I am alone in this matter, and I implore the three princes to tell the truth to the emperor, and not to involve innocent people."
The raindrops are getting bigger and bigger, hitting everyone mercilessly.
Gu Liwei controlled his emotions and ordered:
"King Yu has pleaded guilty and taken him to the Criminal Department to listen to the ......."
Before Gu Li finished speaking, he saw Ye Zhongyao pounce forward suddenly, facing his chest directly at the Qingyu Sword in his hand.
"Grandfather!" Gu Li's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly reached out to support Ye Zhongyao.
"Grandfather!! Ye Sili shouted hoarsely.
Ye Zhongyao blocked his hand, slowly turned his head to look at Ye Sili who was rushing towards him, and smiled at her weakly.
He tightly grabbed the Qingyu sword on his chest, and his voice was low:
"Backwards...... Xiao Li's poop...... I've entrusted it to you......
He began to spit blood in large gulps, and he could no longer hear clearly.
"I...... Finally...... No regrets...... ......"
Ye Zhongyao's body fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
"Grandfather!" Ye Sili rushed forward wildly, his body was trembling, his hands were in a panic covering Ye Zhongyao's chest that was still bleeding, kneeling in front of Ye Zhongyao and calling him.
The heavy rain finally arrived, instantly wetting everyone's clothes.
The rain slid down the Qingyu sword, but what dripped on the ground was a faint amount of blood.
"Ah Li......" Gu Liwu stood in place, looking down at the Qingyu Sword in his hand, and called to her at a loss.
Ye Sili repeated in a flustered tone, "Doctor Chuan...... Tell the doctor ......"
Heavy troops surrounded the Yugong Mansion, but no one dared to move.
Ye Sili covered his chest vigorously, hot blood continued to gush outward, and her hands, clothes, and even her tearful face were covered with blood......
For a long time, until Ye Zhongyao's body could no longer shed blood......
She sat down in the bloody water and put Ye Zhongyao's head on her lap.
She touched his head gently, again and again, like coaxing a child, like Ye Zhongyao touching her, gentle, reluctant......
And just like that, she cried all night.
So he stood where he was, and kept watch all night.
It wasn't until the next day that he woke up after the effect of the medicine, and it wasn't until Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Ling arrived that he took the Qingyu Sword and turned to leave.
He glanced at the man who was sitting in the blood for the last time, held back the emotions in his heart, and left ruthlessly.
When they arrived in the front yard in late spring, there was a field of blood in front of them, as if it had stained the entire Yugong Mansion red.
Ye Sili fell to the ground in embarrassment, as if his whole body strength had been drained.
The decree came from the palace:
King Yu colluded with the rebel to rebel, but fortunately, Gu Li, the prince of Liang State, saw through his plan and ambushed him on the spot last night.
King Nian Yu and the first emperor started a business to level the world, and they are the heroes of the country, and Princess Le'an has always been humble and polite, knowledgeable, and measured, so now pardon everyone in Yugongfu......
Everyone in Yugong Mansion has changed into white cloth mourning clothes.
Ye Sili knelt in the mourning hall with his eyes lost, and did not eat or drink for three days, and did not sleep.
The heavy rain outside also fell for three whole days, and the overwhelming sound of rain covered up the disturbances in the capital, leaving enough peace for their ancestors and grandchildren.
Lian Xia brought food to Ye Sili with red and swollen eyes, but was stopped by Mu Jiufeng behind Ye Sili.
"Let her be alone." Mu Jiufeng's voice was also a little tired.
Now that the situation in the palace is chaotic, Xiao Ling can only come out for one or two hours a day to accompany her.
Only Mu Jiufeng was left guarding her for three days.
Lian Xia looked at Ye Sili's thin back and looked worried:
"But the princess hasn't eaten for three days."
Mu Jiufeng was also worried, his eyes fell on Ye Sili's back, and he said distressedly:
"There are some things that no one else can help her."
Ye Sili knelt in the mourning hall, and his crying eyes always fell on the coffin in front of him.
In the mourning hall, the white candles flicker, and the sacrificial banners hang on both sides, moving with the night breeze.
There was an oil lamp burning on the offering table. Twilight waited for the side to guard carefully.
Ye Sili held a jade pendant of mutton fat white jade in his hand, which was engraved with the word "leaf".
Her face was pale, her lips were chapped, and her eyes had dried her tears, but she couldn't feel the dryness at the moment.
Rubbing her fingers against the jade pendant, she recalled the bits and pieces of the past.
"Xiao Li." Grandfather was waving at her, smiling and calling her.
Ye Sili stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was a void.
Outside the mourning hall, the rain became heavier and heavier, like a pour, as if pouring down, as if to wash away the grievances and grievances of the Yugong Mansion.
There was already stagnant water in the courtyard, and the blood on the ground had already been washed away.
But somehow, Ye Sili's left hand covered her right hand, and her right hand was stacked on her left hand, and Ye Zhongyao's hot blood seemed to remain on her hand.
Late at night, the wind was blowing.
The night wind came suddenly, blowing the mourning flags and swaying the candles.
Twilight Chun carefully guarded the ever-bright lamp on the offering table, and Mu Jiufeng stepped forward to put on a coat for Ye Sili.
As soon as he draped his clothes over her shoulders, looking at her pale face, Mu Jiufeng whispered worriedly:
"Si Li."
Ye Sili didn't respond, and intuitively felt that there was a white expanse in front of him, so he fell down weakly.
She slept for another three days.
When she slowly opened her eyes, she was lying in Lian Xia's arms, and she happened to see Mu Jiufeng feeding her little by little with rice porridge.
Seeing her wake up, Mu Jiufeng and the others were ecstatic.
Looking at their worried looks, she reluctantly squeezed out a smile to show comfort.
Noticing the white clothes on Du Chun Summer's body, her eyes slowly looked around, looking at the white of the waking wood in the courtyard of the house, the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly sank, and her expression floated to endless desolation. z.br>
Twilight Spring's tears swirled in her eyes, and she knelt on the side of the bed with a crying voice, took Ye Sili's hand, and pleaded:
"Princess, take care of yourself."
Now that the prince is gone, the prince has also left, and only the princess is left in the entire Yugong Mansion.
Tears fell like rain in the late spring, sobbing and looking at Ye Sili.
Ye Sili was weak, and there was no blood on his face, he tried to squeeze out a shallow smile, and his voice was weak:
"Okay, I see."
Her throat was a little hoarse, but fortunately, Mu Jiufeng and they insisted on feeding her some water in the past few days, so it was not too dry and painful.
The scene of that day kept coming to mind, and Ye Sili's eyes slowly turned red again.
After a long time, she asked, "Is there any news in the palace?"
Twilight and Tsui Xia looked at each other in embarrassment, and silently lowered their heads.
Ye Sili looked at Mu Jiufeng, Mu Jiufeng was entangled for a long time, and finally said:
"The day before yesterday, there was news in the palace that the saint was seriously ill, and now the palace is busy."
Emperor Zhou Yuan was seriously ill?
Ye Sili was a little surprised, and then after thinking about it, he already understood.
Now that my grandfather has passed away, the power of the DPRK and China has naturally undergone earth-shaking changes.
Xiao Feng will not let go of this excellent opportunity, and he will definitely go all out.
"What happened to Ah Yu and Xiao Ling?"
Mu Jiufeng comforted, "I sent someone to keep an eye on them, it's okay for the time being, don't worry."
Ye Sili nodded slightly.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Mu Jiufeng looked at her appearance of wanting to speak several times, his eyes were full of distress, and he still said:
"Emperor Liang died, Chu Qing returned to Daliang, and he will ascend the throne in a few days."
Ye Sili was silent.
His Royal Highness Liang Yasu really lived up to his name, and he played everyone between applause.
not only used the identity of the prince of Ah Wei to win the hearts of the people in the court for himself, but also used the obsession of revenge of the old Gu family to stir up the Great Zhou. Now that Emperor Zhou Yuan is seriously ill and Emperor Liang has died, he has ascended the throne at this time, who dares to object?
But what about Ah Wei......
Sensing her look, Mu Jiufeng looked at her, and then said:
"A few days ago, I entered the palace and took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract."
Mu Jiufeng carefully observed Ye Sili's expression, for fear that she would be hit again.
But Ye Sili's expression was not shocked, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and only said weakly:
"Got it."
She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her expression was indeed sad as she had never been.
Grandfather discussed everything with Ah Wei, and settled her and the people of Yugong Mansion in this troubled world, but what about the two of them?
Grandfather exchanged the life of one person for the safety of the whole house, and he was loyal and righteous all his life, but in the end he ended up as a rebel and thief.
Ye Sili's chest was a little stuffy, and his eyes fell on the chair next to the bed.
A few days ago, my grandfather was still sitting here touching her head and chatting with her to relieve her boredom......
But now......
The scene flashed back to her every day.
Gu Liwu was dressed in a dark robe and held a Qingyu sword in his hand.
She watched as the Qingyu sword pierced her grandfather's heart.
Have you ever wondered how I should face you from now on?
Ye Sili's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were very sore.
In the Gu Mansion, Gu Liwu was also dressed in white.
He stood quietly in the room, silently looking at the Qingyu Sword that was resting in front of him.
Bai Yi stayed behind him, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Childe, now that Zhou Liang and the two countries have finally eliminated their fear of the Yugong Mansion, why do you want to break off the marriage contract with the princess?"
Now that the prince has passed away, the princess must be very sad, and the prince proposed to dissolve the marriage contract at this juncture, what should the princess think?
Gu Liwu's face was very haggard, but his eyes were always firmly fixed on Qingyu Sword.
He pondered for a long time, and his tone was bleak:
"How should I deal with her now......
Now, she and everyone in Yugong's Mansion are safe, but what separates him and her is blood and water, and it is the death of his loved ones.
He recalls the day he had a discussion with his grandfather in his study.
His grandfather, who was over the age of six, knelt in front of him and spoke earnestly.
In the face of the turbulent situation, my grandfather chose to sacrifice his life to protect the safety of the whole house.
He listened to his grandfather analyze the pros and cons of the situation with him, listened to his grandfather reminisce with him about the past, and listened to his grandfather almost begging him to agree......
One person, and the whole house......
They didn't want to let the Gu Mansion happen again, but now it seems that it is somewhat similar.
His right hand, which hung down at his side, slowly clenched, just as he had held the Qingyu Sword that day.
Grandfather lied to him after all.
Gu Li stood with his hands in his hands and slowly closed his eyes.
Grandfather said that he owed too much to General Gu.
Grandfather said that fortunately, Xiao Li brought him back.
Grandfather said that he was finally worthy of the trust of General Gu.
It turned out that from the beginning, he didn't want to live.
Hearing that Ye Sili woke up, Xiao Ling hurriedly withdrew and rushed to Yugong Mansion.
As soon as she entered the gate, she saw Mu Jiufeng and Gu Liwu fighting.
