"Until the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, I went to the palace to see her just like every festival. Emperor Ye Xun was accompanying his Red Slave Queen as before, but he was thoughtful enough to give her a pot of plum blossom wine. Then she and I both
After drinking the wine, she became drunk and cried to me about Emperor Ye Ku's neglect. But I discovered there was something wrong with the wine after it was too late. The wine contained the unique night fragrance of the palace. The two of us spent the most ridiculous time together.
It turned out to be a big mistake... The next day, I was so angry that I went to assassinate Emperor Yegu in the palace. Only then did I learn that what he did was just for the brotherhood between me and him. His words fulfilled and ruined
Yan'er also ruined me. I couldn't accept it for a while. From that day on, I became decadent and drunk all day long. I felt that I had harmed Yan'er, and I never dared to step into the palace to visit her again. As time went by, the wounds became smaller.
It doesn’t hurt anymore, so I just left everything behind and wandered around the world, just to be able to forget Yan’er and all the bitter consequences of the past.”
Ye Yu listened intently, and after a long time he asked dejectedly: "So, I am the bitter fruit of your mistake with your mother and concubine?"
"No," Lei Tianyi said hurriedly, "Yu'er, don't say that. No matter whether you are wrong or right, it is all my fault. Your mother is not wrong in anything. She does not love me in the first place. She has always been
I am wishful thinking, and you are even more right. I have never regretted it. The moment I learned that Yan'er gave birth to you was the happiest moment in my life. Whether you believe it or not, you are my life and death without regrets.
If I could go back to the past, I would still fall in love with your mother, but I would take her away before she was married, and let you be my Lei Tianyi's son openly."
"Hmph, why do you think I am willing to be your son?" Ye Yu sneered, "According to what you said, mother knows that I am not the prince, but your Lei Tianyi's son. My father did not stop me, so she still stayed.
In the palace? She didn't choose you, never has. Do you think I will choose you? "
Ye Yu already believed it. He didn't even say the word "my king" anymore. What he couldn't accept was that the plan he had been planning for many years turned into a ridiculous farce. This was worse than his defeat to Emperor Ye Yu.
To Ye Huang, it would be a bigger blow to him.
He failed because of his lack of ability, but now, he is not qualified at all. His desire and plunder for that position is just that he covets other people's empires. Haha, how funny? He is like a fool!
Lei Tianyi smiled bitterly, "Yan'er's heart is not with me. I don't blame her, but my child, the country does not belong to our Lei family. If you fight for it, you will only end up with eternal infamy. Although I, Lei Tianyi, am not
No matter what kind of person you are, you don’t want your son to be cast aside by others..."
"Oh, since ancient times, winners and losers have always been kings and losers. Didn't half of the Ye clan destroy the world of the Dugu clan of the Yun Kingdom? Who still remembers the glory of the Dugu clan in the past? Who dares to scold the monarch named Ye?" Ye Yu said harshly.
He said harshly, "What is most hateful about you is your cowardice! If you weren't cowardly, how could you have been robbed of your beloved woman by Ye Zhen, and how could you have abandoned your mother and me?"
Lei Tianyi was speechless and Ye Yu smiled more and more sinisterly, "So, I won't believe what you say, so what if what you say is true? Now in the eyes of the world, I am not your Lei
Tianyi's illegitimate son is Prince Ye Guorui, the son of Emperor Ye Xun and Concubine Lan."
"Yu'er..."
"Don't worry, Ye Xun is as cowardly as you. He doesn't dare to make this matter public, because the imperial concubine has an affair with someone. The royal family cannot afford such scandals. He will not let himself become the laughing stock of the world, so
, I have to go down the mountain today no matter what! Ye Huang wants to take advantage of the king's absence to ascend the throne, he is simply wishful thinking, it doesn't matter what the name of the world is, as long as I step on it, I will be its master!"
The domineering aura coming from Ye Yu did have the aura of dominating the world. Lei Tianyi was also stunned. As a father, he had indeed neglected his duty, but could he say that such a son had brought shame on him?
He can't. On the contrary, he should be proud of such a courageous son.
It is impossible for Emperor Ye Yu to value and train Ye Yu. He once allowed Ye Yu to be arrogant and secretive, just because he wanted to atone for what happened back then. He also felt sorry for Lei Tianyi and Lan Feiyan, so he let Concubine Lan
He was in charge of the harem and even indulged her in everything. Outsiders only thought that he was fatuous, but Lei Tianyi didn't think so. He knew in his heart that Emperor Yehu, who had once been his brother-in-law, was actually just tired and felt guilty, so he let Lan go.
Fei Yan's domineering behavior makes him feel guilty, so he doesn't care about Ye Yu's keeping a low profile, but if all this threatens his country, he will be a lion that will no longer sleep, just like this time he wrote a letter asking him to talk to him.
The purpose of the son recognizing each other is just to protect his son's empire.
"I have long heard that His Royal Highness Prince Wenrui is extraordinary. It seems that the rumors are indeed true. However, everything must be done within one's ability. You think you know His Majesty Emperor Yewen, but you have forgotten that the one who is competing with you now is not His Majesty, but also
Your Highness, I believe that he, like Your Highness, will do whatever it takes to get the throne," Sikong said with a smile, "Your Highness must not know that the reason why your subordinate Zuo Yan, who was personally appointed to the position of Grand Tutor by you, turned against you this time is not
He is not loyal enough, but a hero is a beauty."
"Why did you say that?" Ye Yu frowned. Could it be that the little maid Hua Yunshang used to be?
"As smart as your Highness, I believe that I have already guessed the truth. Mr. Zuo Yan took refuge in His Highness the Crown Prince. In fact, he listened to the Madam's wishes and suspected that Your Highness had lost your trust in him and wanted to use the position of Tai Tu to draw a clear line with him.
, as the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost on, so in order to seek better treatment, he naturally chose His Highness the Crown Prince, who is about to ascend the throne."
"What on earth do you want to say?"
"Master Zuo Yan has been following His Highness for many years, but the Prince can win people's hearts in just a few days. Do you think he is really that cynical young man?"
"Your Excellency Sikong, do you mean that my strategy is not as good as Ye Huang's?"
Sikong smiled faintly, "I didn't say that, I just wanted to show you that there are so many people in this world who want to trample the world under their feet, but who has such ability? You said that the master is cowardly, but I think otherwise.
.”
"Oh?" Ye Yu raised his eyebrows, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Master is a great love. He loves Concubine Lan, so he hopes that she can be happy. He knows very well that love can only be at ease when you are with him. Therefore, he would rather suffer the torment of longing for Concubine Lan by his side. As for the other side,
Your Highness, Master feels ashamed, so he didn't dare to see you just now. This is not cowardice, but because he is afraid of embarrassing Your Highness."
"If he tells me now, won't he also embarrass me?"
"Does Your Highness really feel embarrassed? While you are disappointed and unwilling, you are not at all relaxed?"
Sikong's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Ye Yu's heart. It was undeniable that he was relieved. Over the years, he had lost too much and carried too much in order to gain the country. He was very tired.
.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought about what will happen if you become emperor?" Sikong asked him, "You can be loved and respected by people in the world, but your future life will no longer belong to you alone.
Love must be compatible with the world, and your affection must be with all people. You will no longer be able to appreciate the happiness of ordinary people. Once you relax, you will be despised by thousands of people. You must always be wary of the intentions of the people around you. Perhaps from the moment you ascend the throne
From the moment you sit down, there will be countless pairs of eyes waiting for you to sit down. Some of them will keep a low profile and wait ten or twenty years to seize the opportunity to snatch your throne. Even your children will do it for you.
This position turns one against another... Your Highness, tell me, do you really want to live like this?"
Sikong has always been a man of few words. Even Lei Tianyi could not help but be surprised by what he said today. When would his indifferent eldest disciple become so aware of the world's major events? Could it be that he has recovered his memory?
"Your Majesty Sikong has repeatedly raped and made love. Could it be that he also has the happiness of ordinary people? Which girl does he fall in love with?" Ye Yu asked with deep meaning, as if he was testing something.
Sikong looked as usual and said calmly: "Your Highness is joking."
Ye Yu was silent for a moment and then said: "What you said makes some sense, but I... I have endured humiliation and painstaking efforts for many years, and you want me to give up everything with just a few words of yours. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?"
"Yu'er, I am a father for your own good," Lei Tianyi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said earnestly, "If you are really so dedicated to the throne, I don't want to stop you. To tell you the truth, this time Emperor Yehu's letter to
Firstly, I hope that I can keep you, and secondly, because of a natural phenomenon, a rare treasure will appear in the mountain behind Qirui Villa. It is said to be the most precious treasure Phoenix Tun, an ancient relic. Since ancient times, there have been those who have obtained Phoenix Tun.
In the world, my husband can't help you. If you go down the mountain now, your trip will be dangerous, but if you can get Feng Tun, you will overthrow the Ye family dynasty and you will definitely gain the support of everyone in the world."
"Feng Tun?" Ye Yu's eyes flickered. How could he not have heard of this treasure? At first, Ying'er once joked that she had a rare treasure called Feng Tun, saying that as long as she married her, she would have the world. But later
The little girl had seen the high priest and never said that to him again or pestered him to marry her.
When Ying'er passed away, Feng Tun was also mentioned. She hanged herself at that time and left behind a silk handkerchief. He was too sad at the time and didn't care about it. Then he put it on his body casually and lost it without knowing when. As for the treasure, it was really
Never seen it.
"That's right, although I have never seen this thing, I have been observing the stars day and night recently, and I have indeed found that something unusual has happened at Qirui Villa recently. I am not trying to stop you, but it is definitely not appropriate for you to go down the mountain at this time. You can think about it yourself.
"Xunxiang," Lei Tianyi said, "I feel sorry for you as a father all these years, and also, your mother, since this is your and her wish, my father is willing to do his best to help you."
Getting Lei Tianyi's support was originally the biggest purpose of Ye Yu's trip, but when he heard what he said, he felt no joy at all. He thought about Sikong's words over and over in his mind, and he was so confused that he was at a loss.
It feels so cold at a high place. Is that high-altitude position really what he pursues?
He remembered that Hua Yunshang once pointed at his nose and said that the only thing she wanted was that he couldn't afford. Once upon a time, he also wanted someone to simply spend his life with him. However, the future mistress he longed for,
He died in the most beautiful youth. Now, he just wants to find someone to stand shoulder to shoulder with him and look down on the world. He wants no one and nothing to shake his happiness...
