"Good ambition, good ambition," the Emperor nodded with a sneer, "However, now that I have frankly admitted the identity of the mastermind, I will not force you to say anything." You go back, and after the case is clarified, I will be punished. ”

Ye Yongjia knew that it was difficult to argue, and replied in a low voice: "Yes." He immediately drew a charge on the official document, and under the escort of the two little eunuchs, he withdrew from the palace.

"For the sake of many years of monarchy and ministers, I have already saved him enough face," the emperor folded a few books in front of the table, "let him go home and say goodbye." Tomorrow at noon, the arrest will be carried out again. ”

Guo Xiang listened to these words at the bottom of the steps, and suddenly felt that there was still a chance to kill Ye Yongjia, so he shrugged his eyebrows to the prince. The prince understood what he meant, turned around and knelt down and said, "The son has something to ask for." ”

The emperor glanced at him with cold eyes: "Say." ”

"Erchen thinks that Ye Yongjia's sins are too heavy to be compared with anyone before this dynasty...... Can you break the example of your ancestors and condemn him to death? ”

The emperor replied bluntly: "If he is no longer a threat to the imperial court, why should he be killed?" Besides, Lu Fangxuan has already arrived in Gyeonggi, and he will probably be able to enter Beijing tomorrow, when a new official is elected, and the three law divisions are ordered to try the group of thieves, and the case will be revealed to the world, then the good name will be attributed to the imperial court, and the notoriety will be attributed to the Ye Party, which is better than killing something. ”

When the prince heard the name 'Lu Fangxuan', he was very happy, thinking that his position could no longer be shaken, his hands trembled excitedly, and he couldn't help but make a request: "Then, father...... Since Ye Dang has been asked about the big crime, can Lan Yuan, the servant of the son, be released? ”

"He's innocent?" The emperor still did not give a good face.

The prince became nervous again, smiled a little awkwardly, and stammered, "Well, it doesn't seem to be." ”

"After the trial is over, I will make my own decision about him, and I don't need you to interfere." The emperor stretched out his sleeves and said, "Don't think that the position of the prince will be solid like a rock from now on, and you will have to wait until I die!" ”

The prince was so frightened that he burst into tears, took a few steps forward, and hurriedly said, 'Don't dare', but secretly gritted his teeth and thought: 'King Yi is dead, and the Ye Party is finished, this old thing doesn't treat me as his own son!' Suspicious and opposive everywhere, let me make a fool of myself in front of the ministers...... There is such a prince in the world! After thinking about it, he didn't even dare to sigh, just silently wiped his tears and watched the emperor drive back to the palace.

Ye Yongjia held the flickering coal lamp in his hand, and the flickering faint light illuminated a short section of the cobblestone road in front of him, making him grope his way to the bedroom. He put the lamp aside, held the door with his left hand, and was about to take out the key, but Cui suddenly opened the door, threw himself on him, and hugged him tightly.

Ye Yongjia stumbled a few steps, wanting to comfort her with a smile, but he couldn't laugh at this time.

"Look at you...... How late is it, why haven't you slept yet? ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to come back, so I'll just wait here," Cui Shi looked at him, "How about it?" Are you alright? ”

"Oh, it's okay," Ye Yongjia said in his mouth, but his eyes subconsciously dodged, "The emperor asked some questions, and I replied one by one, relieving his doubts, otherwise how could he be put back?" ”

"That's, that's good," Cui Shi chuckled briskly and took his hand into the room, "By the way, I have something for you." ”

So saying, she took out a wooden box from the back of the cupboard, and took out a bright red robe from it, and spread it out gently, and it was extremely new, and the shoulders were made of goose feathers, and she could see that it was a very good fabric.

"I knitted it myself before I met you," she said, "and when I was widowed in Cui's house, I thought I would have to live alone for most of my life, and when I talked about it in every way, I fantasized about what my husband would be like, so I made this dress for the person I imagined." I think he has a delicate mind and must be strong, and he can step on me no matter what obstacles...... I didn't expect it to be exactly like you. So, it's time for you. ”

Ye Yongjia felt a warmth in his heart, like ice, and a smile gradually emerged: "Otherwise, I'll try it on?" ”

"Of course!" Cui Shi put on the robe for him, and then used the candle flame to shine left and right, showing a surprised gaze: "It's completely suitable!" Could it really be providential? ”

Ye Yongjia listened, and stroked it even more reluctantly, almost out of his mind for a long time.

"Okay, it's not too early," Cui put down the candlestick and brushed his robe, "I'm still reluctant to take it off." It's not too late to wait until tomorrow morning to enjoy it. ”

"Tomorrow's ......" Ye Yongjia was speechless for a while, his expression was gloomy, so he had to take off his robe, blow out the lights, and sleep with her.

The two of them were lying on the bed, their eyes facing each other, Ye Yongjia pressed against her forehead, and inexplicably felt a unique temperature, but this feeling could not be felt again. Thinking of this, his tears rolled down his eyes, and he couldn't hold them back.

"What's wrong with you?" Cui asked.

"It's nothing, it's just moving. Go to sleep. With that, he moved his pillow and closed his eyes.

Cui agreed, but still stared at him until the other party fell asleep.

"Husband, farewell." She wiped away the tears that had come down his cheeks with her fingers, and when she had finished talking to herself, she got up and walked over to the table, took the coal lamp and the key to the bell room, and walked out the door. The weather in the middle of the night can be described as biting, the wind is howling, and the fallen leaves are flying, as if to welcome something. She didn't care about the cold, she walked blindly, staggering.

The bell chamber arrived. She opened the door, and there was still a row of clocks circling around it, which had stopped telling the time in the middle of the night, but the distinctive sound echoed dryly in her ears.

She didn't say a word, moved a chair, took a piece of white silk, and threw it on the beam. She looked at the swaying white silk, stepped on the chair, and said silently: "Husband, I told you before that you are not exempt from nothing, and I cannot exist in the world...... Forgive me, lady, I'll go first, don't blame yourself for this! With that, he stretched his head forward and kicked the chair away.

"Miss Cui, ...... Cui"

Early in the morning, Ye Yongjia was sleepy-eyed and touched his side, but unexpectedly caught a void. He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately sobered up in fright, hurriedly put on his boots, and ran out of the house, shouting at her as he scurried like a headless fly.

"Did you see Madame?!" He stopped a few of his subordinates and asked sharply.

"No, I don't know......" Before everyone finished speaking, they were directly knocked away by Ye Yongjia.

When he finally approached the bell room, he frowned and pushed it open to see the astonishing sight before him. He suddenly felt the world spinning, his feet unstable, and only the only remaining reason drove him to step forward with difficulty, cut off Bai Aya's sword, and then fell to his knees, crying bitterly.
