HBWnovel Chapter 79 Calm
Chapter 79 Calm
When the sky was just dawn, Xi Ye finally returned to the imperial capital Lingyuan.It's only been a few days, but I feel that everything is different.The door of Prince Ye's Mansion was open, but Murong Fenglin didn't send anyone to guard the door.He probably didn't expect to come back at all.As the elder brother, he should be regarded as the person who doesn't know himself the least.
He walked in safely, only to find a man standing in the front yard.If it's not white clothes, then it must not be a master.Because I thought that there would be no one in the mansion, it was inevitable that there would be noise when I entered the door.Whether it is an enemy or a friend, we have to wait for that person to turn around to know.
Murong Xiye waited patiently, the morning light was very faint, and the face of that person looked a little blurry, but he already recognized who it was,
"Ziyun?" Unable to restrain the surprise in his voice, Murong Xiye walked over, "Why are you here?"
Ziyun smiled calmly, "Is it strange that you are here? I also want to thank you for protecting this place very well. Everything has hardly changed. Every plant and tree are still the same as eight years ago appearance."
eight years ago?Those three words flashed across Xi Ye's mind like lightning. Wasn't it the day when the former owner of this mansion, the Ye family, was in trouble?It turned out that the reason why Ziyun tried so hard to hide her identity was because,
"Are you from the Ye family?"
Back then, there were indeed two members of the Ye family who escaped that disaster.Ye Linyuan's son and daughter were not found.The "Ziyun" in front of him should be Ye Linyuan's daughter.
"It's your ability to live to this day. I think after I die, this place will become a deserted house, and no one dares to move in. Perhaps the emperor will demolish this place. So take advantage of the There is still a chance now, so it’s good to have a second look." It is really rare for me to stand with the daughter of the biggest traitor in the previous dynasty.
"Are you coming back here just to die?" Ziyun has always been unable to figure out Murong Xiye's thoughts. She felt that he was hiding so well and deeply that no one could really see through him.But at this moment, his eyes were unexpectedly calm.
Only then did she realize that his so-called longing for power in the past was really a lie.
"Then what do you think? Kneel in front of the emperor and tell him that I was wrong, please forgive me?" Xi Ye sneered.
"He will. In front of the world. Of course he will." Ziyun is also a smart person.It is a fact that Emperor Jinyun is unwilling to let Murong Xiye go.But as the emperor, he will naturally do a lot of work on the surface.
"Do you want... to stay here? I don't want to disturb your memories. After dawn, probably many people will know that I am back. I will be at the door, waiting for Brother Huang to come."
"Okay. Of course I should give you some time." Ziyun turned and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Daylight came quickly.It seems that it is only a blink of an eye from the dim light to the sunshine covering the whole mansion.The streets that were originally quiet and deserted began to become lively.The gate of Prince Ye's Mansion was always open in the past. Even if he suddenly wanted to rebel a few days ago, he was already suppressed by Emperor Jinyun because of his weak power.
So when everyone passed by the gate of Prince Ye's Mansion, they were not in the mood to look there.Until someone discovered that there was a man in black sitting at the gate of Prince Ye's mansion.At that time, news of King Ye's surrender had already spread throughout the imperial capital.So it took a long time for those people to really realize that it wasn't someone else sitting there.
It is Ye Wang Murong Xiye.Not long after, the court sent people to come, and without restraint, Murong Xiye took the initiative to leave with them.When entering the palace gate, he stopped suddenly and said, "I don't want to see my brother emperor, just send me to the dungeon."
This sentence made the guards have a hard time, but Xi Ye had already lifted his foot and walked towards the dungeon.After they looked at each other in blank dismay, they had to let one person go to Qingyuan Hall to report, and the rest followed Xi Ye.
The dungeon is dark and damp, but it has not changed for so many years. Even if Xi Ye only came once, he still remembers the structure inside. He went straight to the cell where Xin'er was imprisoned, walked in, and sat on the pile of straw .The guards came and locked the door, not knowing what else to do, they had to leave.
When he saw the guards coming in, Murong Fenglin put down the folder in his hand, he purposely stayed in Qingyuan Hall until now, just to wait for Xi Ye to come.But the guard came in alone. "Your Majesty, King Ye said...he doesn't want to see you. He went to the dungeon by himself."
Did you go to the dungeon by yourself?Murong Fenglin felt that he couldn't even get angry.In the morning, after the news of Xi Ye's surrender came from Cangzhou, he thought that Xi Ye would follow Yang Qiyue back to Lingyuan.Unexpectedly, he set off early by himself.When he returned to the palace, he was still swaggeringly sitting at the door, waiting for him to catch him.
It's not that he didn't doubt Xi Ye's purpose for doing this, but no matter what, he was at the end of the world, and his only bargaining chip was also deprived.Now alone...he suddenly remembered that there had been no news about Zhang Baihe from Cangzhou.It seems that after surrendering, he disappeared.When Xi Ye came back, he attracted all his attention, and also helped his subordinates gain time to escape.
It's really... "What he meant was that he wants me to go to the dungeon to see him in person, right?"
Why doesn't he go for a walk?
In addition to the slaves who committed crimes in the harem, the dungeons in the palace are generally used to detain the court's recidivists.In order to cut off their connection with the outside world, so that they have no possibility of escaping.Although he has been in the palace for many years, Murong Fenglin has never been here, he thinks it is dirty and unlucky.
Entering from the entrance, it was almost pitch black, accompanied by all kinds of unpleasant smells, which made the Ninth Five Lord feel sick.Show displeasure.But the man in the cell sat peacefully without even frowning.
Even with his eyes closed, Xi Ye seemed to smell a different atmosphere.He sneered, "You actually bothered the emperor to come and see me in person. I'm a criminal, how can I afford it?"
After dismissing the people around him, Murong Fenglin squatted down condescendingly, and looked at his younger brother's face that still refused to admit defeat through the railing. "You still hate me for taking your place?"
"How could it be? Brother Huang was worrying too much. Now you should also know that it is difficult to sit firmly in that position. I just couldn't swallow that breath, so I just played casually." Xi Ye kept his eyes closed, and the top of his head A little light shone through the iron-barred windows, and it all fell on his face.That kind of peace, Murong Fenglin is afraid that it will be difficult to obtain in his entire life.
