28. Chapter 28 Persuading Father to Resign

"Yan'er!" Nangong Ye, who stood at the window and looked at her for a long time, said out after seeing her in so much pain that it was hard to swallow.

Hearing the familiar voice, Cao Yan's already pale face turned even paler. She slowly raised her head and looked at Nangong Ye coldly, "Why are you here?"

He was used to her not wanting to see her. Every time he came, she would treat him coldly, make cold remarks, and put on a dignified face that she hated him. Even so, he couldn't help but not come.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" He suppressed the pain in his heart and asked with concern.

"It's just a recurrence of the old illness." She said lightly, not wanting him to worry about her.

Hearing this, Nangong Ye's face darkened, "Why do you have such recurring illnesses since you entered the palace?"

He was very worried about her health. The old illness recurred so frequently that even a healthy person could not withstand the torment, not to mention her frail body.

"Yan'er, your body can't withstand such torture." Seeing her indifferent expression, he said angrily.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Cao Yan coughed violently before she could speak. She stopped after coughing several times and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.

"Yan'er!" Nangong Ye looked at her worriedly, stroking her back up and down with his big hands to calm her down.

Cao Yan pushed him away with her elbow and said, "I'm fine."

Seeing her indifferent look, he got angry and said, "Are you so sick? Are you still okay?"

"Ye, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me." She said bluntly.

Nangong Ye raised his head and looked at her intently. Looking at her pale, almost bloodless face, his expression was slightly cold, and his heart ached. She didn't care about her body so much.

Ao, he didn't care about her so much, why did he mistakenly believe Ao's words and hand her over to him.

She rejected his concern and broke his heart full of holes. "I heard that there is a Seven-Star Fruit on the Tianshan Mountain in Nanzhao Kingdom, and the fruit is born once every seventy years. The magical fruit has magical effects that can cure hundreds of lives.

To detoxify your body from the strange poison, maybe your bones will get better after eating that magical fruit." Nangong Ye said, remembering the legend he heard.

Cao Yan frowned slightly as she listened. Don't say that this is just a legend. Even if what he said is true, she will not let him go to the end of the Tianshan Mountains covered with snow for thousands of years. She doesn't love him, and his

She can't repay his love, and she doesn't want to apologize to him too much.

"You don't have to worry about it, Ao has already sent me thousand-year-old ginseng. I will eat these for a while and my body will naturally get better." Cao Yan said with a cold voice.

His true love for her was met with disdain from her, which made him feel cold. Although he loved and protected her and never expected anything in return from her, he at least hoped that she could accept his affection.

Cao Yan rejected Nangong Ye's true feelings thousands of miles away. Nangong Ye was heartbroken but could not bear to ignore her. He looked at her and said, "Yan'er, I have nothing else to ask for, I just want to see you happy."

"

After hearing his true confession, she frowned. His true love could not bring her happiness, it would only increase her burden, so she had been coldly refusing.

"Ye, remember my identity, let's keep an appropriate distance." Cao Yan said calmly.

Before Nangong Ye could speak, she said to the palace maids and eunuchs beside her, "You should be more careful when you are on duty in the future. Why don't you notify the Third Prince when he comes?" She said mockingly to the palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside the door, but in fact, she said it deliberately.

Nangong Ye listened.

"Yan'er..." As soon as Nangong Ye opened his mouth, she blocked him back, "Ye, I'm tired and I need to rest.

Here comes the third prince!"

At Cao Yan's order, several maids and eunuchs came in. Looking at these people, Nangong Ye hesitated to speak.

"Send guests off." Cao Yan ignored Nangong Ye's dark face and went straight to the inner room with her eyebrows raised in anger.

"Farewell to the Third Prince!" Nangong Ye, who was standing there, heard the eunuch's high-pitched shout. He looked at the lonely figure in the carved door leading to the inner room, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

"Farewell, Third Prince!" came another high-pitched voice. If he didn't spread the word, he would ruin the reputation of the people in the inner chamber. He glared fiercely at the eunuch who was talking so loudly, and then walked away with a roll of his sleeves.

Ye Wange stood next to a kapok tree outside the Crown Princess's palace. She watched Nangong Ye walk out of it, his figure lonely and expressionless, looking depressed and frustrated.

She wanted to step forward and add insult to injury, but looking at Nangong Ye's gloomy face, she thought that haste makes waste, so she endured it.

After Nangong Ye came out from Cao Yan's place, he felt depressed and worried.

He walked absent-mindedly, and even the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground without him noticing.

Ye Wange, who had been following Nangong Ye, stopped and bent down to pick up the fan that fell on the ground. She opened it gently and saw a line of regular script characters on it. While she was dumbfounded, she also became more convinced of something.

matter.

"If you come, I will treat you as before. If I go, I hope you will allow me a lovely reunion!" Ye Wange looked at the inscription on the folding fan, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. As expected, Nangong Ye had a crush on Cao Yan.

like.

Looking at the enchanting words on the folding fan, she sighed that there were many such infatuated sons and daughters in the world.

He only stares at the one who paid for him for a lifetime. In the quiet time of the years, he was dressed in white, holding a folding fan, standing in the mist of the world, waiting for her as before, but he was in a daze, and she had passed through the dust.

However, their relationship was finally ended and his dream was shattered.

The two brothers are so different in character. One strives for everything for power, while the other is willing to abandon the great mountains and rivers for the sake of women. They have the same ancestors and the same roots, and their temperaments are very different.

Thinking about the extent of Nangong Ye's infatuation, he felt confident that if he loved her so deeply, he would definitely go to pieces for her.

After entering the palace for so long, this was the first time a smile came from her heart. She held the folding fan and went back. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the little ruler waiting there in a panic. Seeing her

The little ruler walked up to her in two long steps. He glanced around with a sly look, but when he saw no one around, he whispered, "Prime Minister Ye is here."

Ye Wange frowned, stretched out her hand to lift up her skirt and strode into the house. When she reached the door, she saw her father sitting there.

The sound came before anyone entered the door, "Daddy!" She shouted like a naive teenage child who loves her father.

Ye Changyu, who had lowered his head in thought when he heard his daughter's voice, raised his head and said, "Ge'er!"

"Daddy!" She hurriedly walked through the door and reached out to shake her father's hand.

Ye Changyu almost burst into tears looking at the clear black eyes covered with tears. He was born in an era when men could have three wives and four concubines, but he kept one married woman. This shows how much this man values ​​love and justice.

"How are you doing!" Ye Changyu asked, looking at his daughter with a trace of sadness on his originally childish face.

The words of concern made her eyes wet with tears. She sniffed and nodded. She was afraid that saying those false words would make her cry, so she didn't dare to speak.

Looking at his daughter Ye Changyu, he asked, "I received the letter from home. In the letter, why did you ask your father to resign and return home?" He expressed the question in his heart.

After Ye Changyu finished speaking, Ye Wange didn't know how to answer. She couldn't explain what happened in her previous life. She looked at her father and said, "Being with a king is like being with a tiger. Moreover, Shen Liang is cunning and cunning, and so is Shen Ruhui. The father and daughter cannot help each other." They will be willing to fall behind others, and I guess they will compete for the lower position."

After hearing this, Ye Changyu said, "You don't have to worry about this. Dad will take care of everything for you." He had been an official in the court for many years, and he only relied on his own ability to reach the position of prime minister. Qi let the villain Shen Liang scheme.

"Dad!" She called out worriedly, "Even if Shen Liang and Shen Ruhui are not afraid of anything and can't make big waves, His Highness the Crown Prince is a man of deep thoughts and has an unstable temperament. With such a tiger and wolf king, sooner or later something will happen. disaster."

Looking at his daughter's worries, Ye Changyu felt that she was a bit unfounded. At first, he was neutral on the fight for the throne among the princes, but now he is on the side of His Highness the Crown Prince. Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne depends on his support. Therefore, he felt that no matter how ruthless and unjust His Highness the Crown Prince was, he should not treat him badly.

"Dad, haven't there been too many incidents of burning bridges across rivers since ancient times? Even if the prince respects you now, can you guarantee that he will still do the same after he ascends to the throne?" Ye Wange said worriedly.

Ye Changyu looked at his daughter, and from her words she seemed to be full of disgust for this deep palace, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not treating you well?"

This made her unable to answer. The emperor's family wore silk and satin, wore gold hairpins and jade Buddha, ate rare birds, and lived in a house with carved beams and painted ceilings. Is this kind of life a good or bad thing? I'm afraid people in the world Everyone is envious of you, everyone wants to go there!

"Dad, never trust others in everything..." She had just opened her mouth and before she could finish speaking, she saw Nangong Ye's figure through the open window lattice.

"The prince is here!" Ye Wange whispered to Ye Changyu.

Seeing his daughter's frightened expression, Ye Changyu gave her a calm look. Ye Wange immediately walked to the door. When Nangong Ao entered, she immediately bowed and saluted, "I have met His Royal Highness."

"We have met Your Highness." Ye Changyu followed suit and saluted.

"No gifts." Nangong Ao said as he spoke, looking at the father and daughter in front of him with his black eyes, "I came to give Concubine Wan something to replenish her health, but I didn't expect to meet Prime Minister Ye here. "

"Your Highness, the minister also heard that the empress was ill and sent some supplements." Ye Changyu replied.

Nangong Ye looked at it calmly after hearing this. The things placed on the table were all precious and rare medicinal materials. He thought that Prime Minister Ye's love for his daughter was not in vain.

With a smile on his face, he said, "The Prime Minister is interested. Recently, the affairs of the DPRK and the Central Government have been busy, and I have neglected Concubine Wan. However, Concubine Wan's illness has recovered, and her body only needs to be nursed back to health in a few days."

"Your Highness is concerned about the country and the people, yet you care so much about Concubine Wan, I thank you so much!" After meeting Nangong Ao, Ye Changyu respectfully respected the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, and called Ye Wange Concubine Wan.

When Ye Wange heard her father calling her empress, she felt even more sad. Her heart ached with depression. It was difficult for her to even call her father after entering the emperor's house.
