When the two were talking in the house, Zheng He had already listened carefully and clearly outside with bated breath, and couldn't help but be surprised and frightened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info was shocked that Ye Cheng, who had been with him for many days, turned out to be the biological son of the current emperor, and was afraid that if Princess Ningguo caught Ye Cheng again, I am afraid that he would definitely not let him live again.

"Master, if Princess Ningguo asks you to catch Ye Cheng, you must not agree. Ye Cheng saved me several times, if I hurt him again, how could I have the face to stand in the world again!" Zheng He rubbed his palms together nervously, silently muttering in his heart, hoping that the master would refuse.

Sure enough, as Zheng He expected, Princess Ningguo spoke again: "Speaking of which, with the wisdom of the mage, I'm afraid it is not difficult to guess the mind of the slave family." ”

"You asked me to catch Ye Cheng?" said Dao Yan calmly.

"Who doesn't know that above the government and the field, among the rivers and lakes, if you talk about martial arts cultivation, the mage is one of the best masters, and Ye Cheng was attracted by Zheng He, and Zheng He is your senior apprentice. Princess Ning Guo smiled.

Zheng He's palms were already covered with sweat outside, and he couldn't wait to rush in now to refuse Princess Ningguo's request for his master, but he knew that he could not do this now, he could only try to restrain himself.

"What, is the mage unsure or difficult to start?" Princess Ning Guo asked when she saw that Dao Yan was silent and did not answer.

"It's a big matter, and the poor monk thinks that it is better to let the emperor know. Dao Yan said.

Princess Ning Guo smiled and said: "This is not bothering the mage, there will be someone to say it to the emperor, but this person is not me." ”

Dao Yan thought quickly in his heart, he knew that if he couldn't give Princess Ning Guo a clear answer today, she would never give up.

"In that case, the poor monk did his best. Dao Yan replied.

When Zheng He heard this outside, he couldn't help but have the idea of rushing in immediately to stop it, so he had to try to restrain himself at the moment.

What kind of person is Monk Daoyan, Princess Ningguo knows it very well, he generally does not speak easily, once he speaks, he will try his best to do what he promised, and if he asks again, he will be suspicious and disrespectful. So Princess Ning Guo nodded contentedly, no longer said a word, but put on the black veil again, and slowly got up and left.

At this time, the night took the opportunity to slip in through the open hall door, so that Dao Yan's heart was also shrouded in this darkness, he slowly sat on the chair, and his right hand kept rubbing. At this moment, Zheng He, who had been hiding in the backyard, came to the front of the hall again, and seeing that Master was like this now, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice of concern: "Master, is your old man okay?"

Dao Yan smiled bitterly: "What's wrong with me, it's Ye Cheng's kid who is not good." ”

"Master, you won't really agree to Princess Ningguo's request to deal with Ye Cheng, right? If so, if it doesn't chill the heroes of the world, who will dare to help the imperial court in the future?"

"Ye Cheng is not an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, he is the illegitimate son of Emperor Chengzu, and what Princess Ningguo said is not entirely unreasonable. Besides, I know Cheng Zu, for the sake of the throne, he can give up everything and ignore the scolding of the world. Dao Yan said slowly.

Zheng He sat down on the chair beside him, his expression full of despair.

At this time, in the emperor's bedroom, Zhu Di did not sleep, but met with a minister who came late at night, this person was his brother-in-law, Mei Yin, the husband of Princess Ningguo.

Mei Yin is rich in five cars, elegant and calm, never abrupt, but now he visits late at night, which makes Zhu Di quite surprised, but when Mei Yin said that paragraph, Zhu Di's mood is not an accident that can be simply described.

He looked at the two swords "Sunny Day" and "Green Shirt" hanging on the wall, and quickly recalled the situation in the suburbs of Yingtianfu and the celebration banquet that day, and finally he thought of everything that happened in Mingche Garden during the day today.

"It turns out that he wants to kill me......" Zhu Di thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

"Ye Cheng wants to assassinate the emperor?" Mei Yin exclaimed.

"I Zhu Di Rong horse life, what kind of things have not been seen, when I was in that garden, I have smelled the murderous aura, the cold light of the sword has shone on my face, I should not suspect him because I have no reason to doubt, a plain life of the rivers and lakes, a ranger who contributed to the imperial court, captured the bandits' nest, what is the motive to assassinate the current emperor? Zhu Di smiled bitterly as he touched the low-hanging spike of the green-shirted sword.

"Your Majesty, today's ministers are courageous, and they have not persuaded the emperor as a courtier, but as a brother-in-law, I hope that the emperor will not use temporary benefits to separate flesh and blood, and lose his family. Mei Yin suddenly kowtowed and said.

"Your husband and wife are so interesting, one is eager to kill my four sons for me, but the other wants to risk death to advise me not to kill him, this can be regarded as the same bed and different dreams. Zhu Di smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, no matter what kind of consideration, the minister thinks that Ye Cheng should not be killed, not to mention that he is not at fault, and he has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, even if he takes 10,000 steps back, there are some small mistakes, after all, he is your own son, as the so-called tiger poison does not eat children, you can't be wrong again and again!" Mei Yin said in an eager voice.

"It seems that when I ordered someone to set the fire, you didn't approve of it?" asked Zhu Di.

Mei Yin nodded and said: "Yes, this is originally the emperor's family matter, although the minister is not a relative of the emperor, there is no reason to interfere, but the minister can't help but think about the emperor's throne and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty." Imagine if the emperor killed a meritorious person who had just fought for Daming on the battlefield, how could the people of the world not be chilled, how could they not be discouraged, and how could the Ming Dynasty be stable in the future?"

Zhu Di Fu Yi smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, you are too worried, but I still want to thank you, these words are said to others and dare not say anything to me, I didn't say that I wanted to kill Ye Cheng, I have already done it once, no matter how I say that he is also my son, how can I bear to hurt him again?"

When Mei Yin heard Zhu Di say this, the hanging heart finally settled, and she couldn't help but show joy on the ground and let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about it anymore, I already know about it, so you should go back and rest early. Zhu Di walked up to Mei Yin and stroked his back.

Mei Yin thanked the emperor for his grace, and then retreated with confidence.

At this time, Zhu Di was the only one left in the huge dormitory, and he watched Mei Yin's departing back, and the joy on his face gradually turned into calm, and then into a terrifying expression. At this time, he turned around suddenly, and found that the two swords hanging on the wall were illuminated by the candle flame with a long sword shadow, as if they were attacking him, and then remembered the situation when Ye Cheng held the sword and drank tea with him today, he couldn't help but shudder.

"I didn't expect that the person who drank with me today was my child, and I couldn't complain that he was so similar to Ye Qiuxue. He wanted to kill me at that time, just like I wanted to kill him at that time, maybe this is the evil fate that our father and son can't escape. If you know, please don't blame me, as a king, there are too many people who can't help themselves, it's not that I'm unkind, but I can only do this. Zhu Di fell into deep thought alone.

At this time, there was a gust of wind blowing in, the blowing candle flame was swaying, and the sword shadow on the wall was also fluttering, Zhu Di looked at the sword shadow, and his heart trembled for a while, as if he had another idea.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, a palace that is extremely enviable and desirable in the eyes of the world, there is a group of people who can't sleep, the world only sees the prosperity, but can't touch the loneliness, suffocating loneliness.

At this time, although Ye Cheng's heart was relieved, he was still full of apprehension when he thought of two people, one was his mother Ye Qiuxue, and the other was Huo Ran.

"My mother has been displaced all her life, making a living and raising me as an adult, but she was originally a big family, she can have a good family, and live a worry-free life, all of this is not due to my father Zhu Di, so that her life is so difficult? But she did not blame him, from her mouth never heard a word of complaint, he hoped that I found my father, not for revenge, but for reunion, so I did not live up to my mother's wishes. But my mother didn't know who the mastermind of the fire was, if it weren't for General Huo Ran's help, our mother and son would have died in Huangquan at this time, and General Huo Ran would have been burned like that for us, if I let go of the main culprit, wouldn't it be unfilial piety to my mother and a debt to General Huo Ran?" Ye Cheng's heart seemed to have a rope that could not be untied, and whenever he felt that he was about to untie it, it was entangled again.

The silence of the night soon dissipated, but the next day's Ying Tianfu was as lively as a festival, because today Chen Zuyi, the bandit leader of Sanfo Island, will be beheaded at noon, and now he is parading the streets.

When the prisoner car drove by, the voices on both sides reached its peak, and people were talking and excited.

"I said Brother Yang, this is the bandit leader Chen Zuyi? I thought he had three heads and six arms, but I heard that he was too tall, like a god, how can he look at it now, he is just an ordinary person, it can't be a mistake?" A butcher who sold meat said to a person next to him.

"Butcher Zhang, you can control your stinky mouth, then General Zheng He went to sea for so long to catch this thief, you dare to say that it is fake, do you want to die? If you don't want to die, don't implicate us!" shouted the old man on the side.

Butcher Zhang stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.

Different from the excitement and heated discussions of everyone, Chen Zuyi, who only showed his head in the prisoner car, seemed extremely calm, he disdained to ignore the ignorance of these people in the world and his presumptuous judgment, he just felt that the road was so long and hard, and he wanted to reach the end quickly.
