Fu Hai's departure was like moving away a boulder that was pressed on Ye Cheng's body, and now he was facing only Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Ye Cheng thought of his mother Ye Qiuxue's miserable last days, and his right hand couldn't help but clench the Yuehua sword. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sound of the stream had become blurred, and the hibiscus leaves that were occasionally blown off by the wind slowly fell on the stone platform, and Ye Cheng felt that his heart was about to jump out. The person he wants to kill at this moment is no one else, it is his father, a generation of kings of the Ming Empire, from the moment he falls, the world will be turned upside down.

Zhu Di didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and still drank tea and talked freely.

Yuehua had already revealed the cold light, Zhu Di was just stabbed in the eyes by this cold light when he lowered his head to drink tea, he just wanted to raise his head, and suddenly a sharp voice sounded outside the courtyard: "Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught!"

Zhu Di stood up suddenly, Ye Cheng put the sword into the sheath again, and in an instant, the situation changed dramatically.

"Who is it?" said Zhu Di coldly.

"Your Majesty..... It's better for you to go and see for yourself, His Royal Highness and Lord Fu Hai are there. The little one couldn't tell who did it for a while......" said the eunuch who hurriedly told him.

Zhu Di nodded, put down the teacup, and smiled at Ye Cheng: "Ye Shaoxia, you just came to this palace and encountered such a thing, it really makes you laugh, wait for me to go out and have a look, and then I will accompany you to drink tea." ”

Ye Cheng arched his hand and said, "I should go out with Your Majesty to have a look, in case there are any more assassins." ”

Zhu Di nodded and strode out, Ye Cheng's heart was pounding at this time, although he didn't make a move, his nervous mood couldn't be relieved for a while.

I don't know how I stepped out of this courtyard, Ye Cheng only felt a buzzing in his head, as if he had been violently impacted, and followed Zhu Di to a side hall outside the courtyard. I saw a man in black lying on the steps outside the hall, there were a lot of blood stains under the steps, Zhu Di's second son Zhu Gaoxu was holding a knife in one hand and covering his arm with the other, sweating profusely, his expression was extremely painful, blood was dripping down his arm, Fu Hai stood aside with his hands down, his expression was still very indifferent, and the two eunuchs were hurriedly looking for something to bandage Zhu Gaoxu's wounds.

"Father, you're here, the child escort is late, and you're frightened!" Zhu Gaoxu ignored the blood from the wound and fell to his knees with a thud.

Zhu Di snorted, first looked around, and then stretched out his hand to help Zhu Gaoxu up: "Why is Wu'er here, and where did this assassin come from?"

"Back to my father, the child came to the palace to do business, knowing that you met Lord Zheng and Ye Shaoxia in Mingche Garden, so he didn't dare to disturb, but just as Erchen was leaving, he suddenly heard that there seemed to be whispering in this Huaxuan Palace, Erchen saw that there was no one around at that time, and he thought that he didn't know which lazy people were messing around in the palace, but what he never expected was that when Erchen pushed the door in, he saw three masked people. Zhu Gaoxu replied.

"Then why is there only one person here, and those two people?" asked Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaoxu replied bitterly: " At that time, the three of them saw Erchen suddenly break in, it was also unexpected for them, although Erchen asked them at the time, but these three people turned a deaf ear, and immediately started to move, Erchen countered with death, snatched one of the people's Pu knife and fought with the three, just passing by the eunuch heard the voice shouting loudly, the three were busy, and they could easily let them go when they saw that the situation was not good, how could Erchen easily let them go, so they chased them outside the palace and fought with the three of them on the steps, but hated Erchen was not good at learning art on weekdays, and they escaped the two of them, and he was seriously injured, and only this one was killed by Erchen。 ”

Zhu Di looked down at the assassin lying on the ground, but he didn't look like a Ying Tianren, and immediately ordered the eunuch to search on his body, but found no other clues except for a fire fold and a few silver bee needles.

"This man is dead?" asked Zhu Di.

"He was already dead when he arrived. Fu Hai said on the side.

"Judging from the objects and faces, these people don't look like people from the palace, Xu'er, who are these people in your opinion?" asked Zhu Di.

At this time, the eunuch had already hastily tied Zhu Gaoxu's arms, and Zhu Gaoxu bowed down and replied: "Erchen didn't catch it alive, and he didn't dare to say anything at this moment, but judging from his dress and belongings, he looked a little like a person in the martial arts rivers and lakes." ”

Zhu Di laughed out loud when he heard this: "The people in the rivers and lakes?

Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head on the side, not daring to say anything more.

Fu Hai on the side bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Rong Weichen summoned the warriors of Yipinge to investigate this matter thoroughly, and he will definitely arrest the real culprit behind the scenes." ”

Zhu Di nodded, and then smiled at Ye Cheng: "Ye Shaoxia, it seems that I can't have a long talk with you today, let these rats disturb Yaxing." ”

Ye Cheng said: "What did the emperor say, if it wasn't for the emperor's invitation alone, I'm afraid these thieves wouldn't have such courage, Ye Cheng really felt guilty in his heart, the emperor was also tired today, Ye Cheng returned the moonflower sword and left immediately." ”

As he spoke, Ye Chengjie lowered the Yuehua Sword in his waist and presented it with both hands.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Since ancient times, the sword has been given to heroes, and it is useless for me to keep the sword this month, this time I will give it to you, and I will walk the rivers and lakes in the future, do my best for the court, and you can still use it." ”

Ye Cheng saw that Zhu Di couldn't accept it, so he had no choice but to take back the sword again, thank you, and then leave quickly.

Ye Cheng, who was walking in a hurry in the corridor, happened to take a look at the oncoming Zheng He, Zheng He saw that it was Ye Cheng, and hurriedly walked in and asked: "Ye Shaoxia, I came a little late because of military affairs, why do you want to go back? Could it be that the emperor's summons has ended?"

"Yes, the emperor has just encountered an assassin's assassination, and I'm afraid he will have to deal with this matter. Ye Cheng just wanted to leave as soon as possible at this time, so he replied hastily.

"Assassin, there is such a thing! In the palace, who is so bold at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" Zheng He was amazed.

Ye Cheng smiled bitterly: "I have no way of knowing this, Lord Zheng might as well go over now to take a look, or ask the emperor if he has any follow-up arrangements." ”

Zheng Helian claimed that it was, and hurriedly went straight to Mingche Garden. Ye Cheng saw that Zheng He had left, and he breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted to see someone the most now, and felt that only she could relieve the depression and anxiety in his heart.

This person is, of course, Zhong Qing.

At this time, Zhong Qing was enjoying the flowers in the garden, even if Zhong Qing had rich experience, there were many flowers that could not be named, and he couldn't help but be very curious and excited. At this moment, he suddenly heard a cough, and Zhong Qing looked up and saw that it was Ye Cheng standing outside the door.

"Brother Ye, why are you, weren't you summoned by the emperor?" Zhong Qing hurriedly ran to the front and asked with a smile.

"This is not the place to speak. Ye Cheng said in a low voice.

Zhong Qing immediately understood, called the four personal maids and a few slaves to his side and said: "A few of you have been busy for me for most of the day, and you must be tired, this girl will allow you to go out for a walk, and you will come back after an hour." ”

Several subordinates glanced at each other, didn't dare to say anything, and came out one by one. Zhong Qing saw that they were far away, so he brought Ye Cheng to the room.

"Brother Ye, I see that you look quite flustered, what happened? Did you tell the son today that you are his son?" Zhong Qing asked with concern.

Ye Cheng smiled bitterly and told Zhong Qing the whole story of the matter. Zhong Qing listened with wide eyes, and couldn't help but sweat for Ye Cheng at that time, if the Yuehua Sword really stabbed at Zhu Di, then the entire Ming Empire would undergo earth-shaking changes, and at that time, no one could predict what the world would become.

"Brother Ye, you don't really want to assassinate your father, do you?" Zhong Qing still couldn't believe it.

"I ...... I don't know. At this time, Ye Cheng was indeed struggling.

"Brother Ye, although I usually admire you very much, but this time Qing'er wants to tell you that if you really do this, the people of the world will suffer!" Zhong Qing held Ye Cheng's hand and said.

Ye Cheng understood what Zhong Qing meant, if he killed the Son of Heaven, then the entire government and the opposition would be shaken, and at that time, the throne would definitely be contested, the national order would fall into chaos, Mongolia and other foreign tribes would wait for an opportunity to invade, and the entire Ming Dynasty might fall into war again, so the foundation that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had created with great difficulty might be destroyed.

But because of this, do you have to endure the hatred of your mother's miserable death? Can you let your upside-down childhood become a dusty memory? Ye Chengxin is unwilling, his heart seems to have two hands that are pulling the game, no one can gain the upper hand, but no one is willing to let go and surrender first.

"Qing'er, what should I do......" Ye Cheng asked Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing felt very sorry for Ye Cheng in front of him, he knew that Ye Cheng had actually borne too many debts and responsibilities for a long time, but he always had an indifferent look on the surface, that was because he didn't want to transfer these troubles to others, he wanted the people he was with to be happy and happy.

But at this moment, Ye Cheng seemed to be overwhelmed, and he no longer knew where to go.

"Brother Ye, in fact, Qing'er doesn't know what to do, if I were in your position, I believe I would be as angry, uncomfortable and hesitant as you, Qing'er just doesn't want you to be hurt again, you meet me, I just want you to stop having so much depression and sorrow in the second half of your life. Zhong Qing said, her eyes began to moisten.

Ye Cheng's heart was full of infinite emotion, in fact, there were countless times when facing Zhong Qing, he would think of no longer going to revenge, no longer asking about his father's responsibilities and faults, wouldn't it be a good thing to be able to live a life with a beautiful, kind, smart and clever girl like Zhong Qing?

Ye Cheng stretched out his hand to take Zhong Qing into his arms, at this moment, the hatred in his heart had been melted by the other party, and there was only Zhong Qing in his world.
