As a result, only Qin Yunjue, Bu Wuwu, Junzi Sa, Emperor Chen, Empress Qin and the more than 10,000 soldiers brought by Emperor Chen were left in the audience.
"Chu Ye, did you get hurt?" Qin Yunjue, Bu Wuwu, and Jun Zi Sa didn't care that there were so many people around, they all came to Chu Ye's side and looked carefully for a while.
"It's okay." Chu Ye shook her head, as long as she rested for another hour or two, all the witch power in her body would be restored.
"Miss Chu, can I take a step to speak?" Emperor Chen said, looking at Chu Ye with a smile on his face at this time.
Chu Ye frowned slightly, then nodded, "Okay."
Emperor Chen waved his hand and retreated to the left and right. Even Queen Qin, Qin Yunjue and others retreated to thirty meters away.
Seeing this, Chu Ye also sent Yanyan and Xiaoyin aside to play.
"If Emperor Chen has anything to say, please speak up." Chu Ye stood with his hands behind his back, his voice neither humble nor overbearing.
"Okay, let's open the skylight and tell the truth, I promise you the position of protector of the country, are you willing to work for my southern country?" Emperor Chen said straight to the point.
He knew that a smart woman like Chu Ye should have already guessed what he wanted to say, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Chu Ye didn't have any surprised expression on his face, he smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "Since Emperor Chen knows that I am not from the Southern Kingdom, he can still give me such a high position, I am very grateful to Emperor Chen for your trust , but my nature is casual, I love freedom, and I have no attachment to power."
Emperor Chen gave a light thoughtful voice, and suddenly said again: "What about the position of Crown Princess, the future empress?"
This kind of temptation should be able to keep you, right
"Huh?" Chu Ye turned his head suspiciously, looked at Emperor Chen's deep eyes full of majesty and wisdom, was slightly taken aback, paused, and then asked: "I don't know if the prince mentioned by Emperor Chen is the future prince?" Which prince is the emperor?"
Emperor Chen's eyes deepened, "Why are you asking this?"
Chu Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled, "A woman has the right to know what kind of person she will marry in the future."
The corner of Emperor Chen's mouth became more joyful, "So, do you agree?"
"No." Chu Ye shook his head, "If that man is not what I want, no matter how high the status and honor are given to me, I will not bow down to him."
Emperor Chen pondered for a while, as if he had made a big decision, he said: "The prince of my southern country is of course the most qualified one." As he said that, Emperor Chen's eyes were firm and there was a hint of distress.
Chu Ye's heart was shocked, and then he raised his lips and smiled, shaking his head while laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Emperor Chen frowned, he gave the answer very sincerely, isn't she satisfied
"I laughed because the imperial family's affection turned out to be so full of calculations and use, it's really... scary."
For a long time, people in the world thought that Emperor Chen loved Empress Ya, and since he loved the house and Wu, he wanted to make the second prince, Junzi Lan, the crown prince. Before this moment, Chu Ye also thought so.
It wasn't until Emperor Chen finally spoke out his heart in order to let her stay that Chu Ye realized that everything was an illusion.
All have been lied to.
What is the most qualified one
It's not the eldest son.
And the eldest son born on the first line is the dead chrysanthemum, gentleman Sa.
No wonder Chu Ye could see her sincere love for Emperor Chen in the eyes of Empress Qin. It turned out that she knew what Emperor Chen was thinking, otherwise how could a woman who had been neglected by her husband for a long time be so innocent no hate.
Or is it all because she and Emperor Chen are acting.
Because Xi Wen's family is too powerful, especially Wen's family, rich as an enemy, Emperor Chen wants to swallow it but can't eat it, so he can only paralyze the other party in this way, and then when the other party thinks that he is already on their side, Then find the right time to give a fatal blow.
In the final analysis, the most pitiful person here is Queen Ya, who fought for twenty years and ten years for a man she thought loved her deeply, but in the end, she didn't know that the man she thought loved her deeply , but they are plotting against her and using her all the time, including her son.
Chu Ye's words could not help making Emperor Chen's complexion a bit ugly, but he was eager to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said lightly: "I can see that Sa'er really likes you, and you treat him so It’s not without feelings, right? If you marry Sa’er, Sa’er will definitely regard you as a treasure, and Zhen will love you, and I can guarantee that Sa’er will become the prince for at most two years, and you are noble Crown Princess, future queen, what do you think?"
"No way." Chu Ye refused without hesitation, "Maybe Junzi Sa really likes me, and I might like him too, but I hate political marriage the most in my life, so thank you Emperor Chen for your kindness, I am not blessed Take it."
Thinking of her previous life, her wealthy parents always linked her marriage with her interests. For this reason, she did not hesitate to kill her fiancé with her own hands!
In this life, no one will ever want to control her again.
"You... don't know what to do!" Emperor Chen finally got angry, "I invite you sincerely, and I don't hesitate to reveal the secrets in my heart for twenty years, but you are so ignorant of current affairs? Today, the Xiwen family can't keep you, do you believe it or not?" But can you stay?"
This kind of genius has three lines in one body, and both hands can use two lines of witchcraft at the same time, so amazing, if he can't be used by him, if he is sent back to another country, there will be endless troubles!
Chu Ye smiled coldly, this is the real face of the emperor.
Turning faces is faster than turning pages.
But she's never been one to be intimidated.
Facing Emperor Chen's angry eyes without fear, he said word by word: "Emperor Chen, if you want to do something to me, you'd better consider the current situation first, maybe your current 10,000-odd horses may be able to keep me, But it is estimated that more than half of it will be lost. And Qin Yunjue and Bu Wuwu will sit idly by? At that time, you don't want to push away the two forces that your really precious eldest son has managed to win over. Okay? , I will leave Nanguo immediately, don't worry, I will never reveal a word of the secret you told me today."
This was Chu Ye's biggest concession, and it was still for the sake of the dead chrysanthemum.
Hearing this, Emperor Chen's face suddenly became dark and unclear, just like what Chu Ye said, if she is forced to stay, things that have been so hard to calm down will change again, but, let go of a genius like her like this, he , I'm too worried.
"Your Majesty..." Just as Emperor Chen was hesitating, Empress Qin, who was tens of meters away, suddenly walked over eagerly, and then whispered a few words in Emperor Chen's ear.
Immediately, Emperor Chen's face changed drastically.
Then he raised his eyes to shoot at Chu Ye, and said coldly: "You go, I hope you will keep your promise."
After finishing speaking, he followed Queen Qin into the luxurious chariot and rushed back to the palace with his mighty tens of thousands of horses.
Although Queen Qin's words were spoken very softly before, as a tenth-level wizard, Chu Ye's hearing has already reached the level where he can hear the sound of falling leaves in a busy city. Naturally, he can also hear Queen Qin's words clearly—Xi Guoju The army is coming.
Wuman Continent is divided into four kingdoms: Eastern Kingdom, Southern Kingdom, Western Kingdom, and Northern Kingdom.
In the past hundred years, although there have been many small battles, there has never been a major war. This time, the Western Kingdom suddenly sent troops to invade the Southern Kingdom. It was like dropping a bomb on the Wuman Continent, which had been quiet for a hundred years, and a turbulent period came again.
It's no wonder that Emperor Chen immediately made a decision not to force Chu Ye to stay. At this moment, what the South Kingdom has to do is to unify the outside world.
And the gentleman Sa naturally also learned about the military situation, rushed to Chu Ye in a few steps, stuffed something into Chu Ye's hand, and said anxiously: "Woman, this is given to you by the prince, you must wear it on your body carefully." , I will check the next time we meet, and as for the account between you and me, I will settle it with you for the next time."
After speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave.
The Southern Kingdom and the Western Kingdom are at war, how can he, the eldest prince, sit idly by
Chu Ye lowered his eyebrows and saw that Junzi Sa gave her a simple and elegant chrysanthemum necklace.
And there is another space in this chrysanthemum, a life space, in which there are houses, streets, land, fields, trees, flowers, and grass. The familiar scene is exactly the same as the imperial capital of Biancheng in the Eastern Kingdom.
Even Chu Ye could find her and her mother's home in it.
The size of the handwriting is astonishing.
With just one glance, Chu Ye's heart beat wildly with excitement.
She already has many things in space, such as the life space ring on her finger, and the prayer beads on her wrist, but this life space chrysanthemum necklace is the most meaningful and most pleasing to her heart.
All along, why she didn't let Lu Shi live in her space ring, so that she could carry it with her, was because she was afraid that Lu Shi would be bored.
Now that there is Biancheng in this chrysanthemum necklace, she only needs to find some people who are willing to live in it, and Lu Shi will not feel lonely if he lives in it again.
From now on, no matter where she goes, their mother and son can see each other every day.
"Wait a minute." Putting away his excitement, Chu Ye hurriedly called out Junzi Sa's figure who was already a hundred meters away, then stroked into the space ring, and took out a jade bottle as big as a bucket. As soon as it was raised, the jade bottle flew straight towards the gentleman, "Then, this is for you in return."
Everyone knows that the Southern Kingdom is rich in financial resources, but its military strength is far inferior to the other three countries. This time, the Western Kingdom's invasion is probably aimed at this point. Chu Ye has promised Emperor Chen to leave the Southern Kingdom immediately, so naturally he can no longer help the gentleman.
However, the hundreds of fire element spirits in the big jade bottle are enough for Nanguo to create a large number of high-level wizards in a short period of time. Her gift in return is not inferior to what Junzi Sa gave her!
It's just that Junzi Sa was in a hurry to go back to discuss the military situation with his father, and he didn't immediately open the jade bottle to see what was inside, but directly threw it into the interspatial ring on his finger, just wanting to take it out and appreciate it slowly when the night is quiet.
So, he just waved his hand to Chuye to express his thanks, and then flew away.
Chu Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Damn Chrysanthemum, when you open the present, if you don't frighten you to lose your face, I will take your surname."
After this time, only Qin Yunjue and Bu Wuwu were left in the entire martial field.
Chu Ye went up to them, and was about to say goodbye to them, but inadvertently saw a corner of a plain white skirt protruding from behind a big tree in the distance.
There are still people hiding behind the tree.
Following Chu Ye's gaze, Qin Yunjue and Bu Wuwu also noticed it, and Bu Wuwu shouted: "Who is hiding there? Come out!"
Immediately, the plain white skirt behind the tree swayed, and then, a tearful woman stepped out from behind the tree. It was the second wife of the Xi family, that is, Xiao Dong's mother, Du Runiang.
Chu Ye still remembers the first time he saw her, she had a phoenix bun and misty temples, without any makeup, her color was like the morning glow reflecting snow, she was very charming and soft, but now, her face is as pale as paper, her eyes are red and swollen, so thin The figure that can be blown away by a gust of wind seems to have lost more than ten catties suddenly.
But in just six or seven days, she was so haggard.
Chu Ye's heart was shocked, and he quickly walked over to meet her. Looking at the woman who lost her son suddenly, she couldn't find any words to comfort her.
"Xiaodong... did you really kill him?" Du Runiang stared at Chu Ye in a daze, her voice hoarse and her eyes lifeless.
"...Yes!" Chu Ye bit her lower lip fiercely. Although she said that her intentions were good at the time, it is an indisputable fact that Xiao Dong died at her hands.
Just when Chu Ye was about to accept any beating, scolding and biting from Du Runiang, Du Runiang suddenly grabbed her hand, his eyes filled with hopeless gratitude.
"Son, thank you... thank you for letting Xiao Dong out of the pain. Although Grandpa Liang and Granny Liang have been trying their best to hide my Xiao Dong's neutron Gu, I still found out, but I... I'm selfish, I know that Xiaodong will only sacrifice the chastity of more girls if he continues to live, but I still pretend that I don’t know anything. I don’t want Xiaodong to die. I don’t want him to leave. He is my son, my lifeblood, and the only hope in my life, oh... I am guilty, I have sinned deeply... "
At the end, Du Runiang was so out of breath from crying that she sat limply and fell to the ground.
Chu Ye never expected that Xiaodong's mother was so reasonable that she didn't blame him for killing Xiaodong at all.
Although it is said that she was a little selfish when it came to Xiaodong's poisoning.
But as a mother, who would like to watch her child die in pain in front of her
At this moment, Chu Ye suddenly understood Du Runiang's heart.
She was so struggling, so contradictory, she wanted to save her son, but she didn't want to sacrifice those girls, so she could only pretend that she didn't know anything.
She didn't dare to speak out until Xiao Dong died.
The pain in her heart is worse than anyone else.
"Aunt Du, don't be too sad, take care of yourself. I promised Xiao Dong that I would take good care of you on his behalf, but now I am leaving Nanguo. I wonder if Aunt Du still has nostalgia for Xi's family? If not , you can go back to Dongguo with me. My mother is in Dongguo, she is about the same age as you, and you will definitely become good friends." Chu Ye said sincerely.
After waiting for a long time, all the pain has gradually faded away, and she can find another man for Aunt Du who treats her sincerely. Of course, these words cannot be said in front of others now.
"Follow you to the Eastern Kingdom" Du Runiang was taken aback, she didn't seem to expect that Chu Ye would suddenly raise this question, then she let out a long sigh and said quietly: "I have been married to Xi's family for more than ten years, and I have suffered from my husband's coldness and ruthlessness. The only concern is Xiaodong, and now Xiaodong is gone, and that Xijia has no meaning to me, now I am alone, it is the same everywhere."
"So, let's go now." Chu Ye gently helped her up.
Looking at the weak Du Runiang, Chu Ye couldn't help but think of his own mother, Lu Shi. In some respects, Du Runiang and Lu Shi have many similarities, such as weak temperament, concubine status, and uncouth marriage. .
"Leave now?" Almost at the same time, Qin Yunjue, Bu Wuwu, and Du Runiang asked in surprise.
"The reason why the Xi and Wen families are willing to retreat is entirely because their patriarch is seriously injured at the moment and has no backbone. Once Xi Yi and Wen Zhen's injuries improve a little, the two of them will definitely come to me again. At that time, you will definitely If I don’t stand idly by, it will definitely cause the enemy in the South to be cleared, but the internal strife will rise again. I don’t want to be such a troublesome woman. Leaving the South at this moment is the best choice.” Chu Ye analyzed.
Besides, she has obtained the Life Fruit, and the remaining Soul Melting Grass needs to enter the fourth floor of the Nine Heavens Pagoda. When she returns to the East Kingdom, it will be the same when she enters the Nine Heavens Tower from the east gate.
Hearing this, the three of them felt very reasonable.
For a while, Qin Yunjue and Bu Wuwu had no reason to stay in Chuye.
After a while of silence, Du Runiang said: "Then can you wait for me for an hour, I want to go back to Xi's house to pack some things."
"No, if you go back home at this time, if they find out that you have changed, you may not be able to get out." Chu Ye said seriously: "In my prayer beads, gold, silver and jewelry are used for clothing and food. Yes, there is everything, you don't need to prepare anything."
"No, I don't want to go back home to collect any money, I just want to take Xiao Dong's things with me, so that no matter where I am, it's like Xiao Dong is always by my side." Du Runiang said As he spoke, he began to cry again.
Hearing this, Chu Ye sighed, "Okay, we'll meet at Bu's house when I'm young."
"En." Du Runiang nodded, then turned and left slowly.
Looking at her lonely and sad back, Chu Ye was afraid that she would do something stupid, so he quickly called out: "Aunt Du, I will give you Xiao Dong's ashes when you come back."
These days, Xiaodong's ashes have been quietly lying in her space ring.
Sure enough, Du Runiang quickly turned her head in joy, then nodded heavily, turned around and left with a little firmer footsteps.
"Chu Qi..." At this time, Qin Yunjue and Bu innocently approached Chu Ye. The war in the Southern Kingdom was imminent. As the largest and second largest families in the Southern Kingdom, the Qin and Bu families were bound to participate in the war. Therefore, As young masters, they have no time and leisure to accompany Chu Ye back to the Eastern Kingdom.
"Actually, I lied to you about one thing." Chu Ye raised his arms and put them on the shoulders of the two men, making a sad face while walking.
"What's the matter?" The two men immediately asked each other.
"That's right... Actually, my name is not Chu Qi."
"No, not only your gender lied to us, but now you also lied to us by your name."
"Sorry, I really didn't mean it." At that time, he withdrew his real name because he was worried that the Murong family would hunt him down.
"Then what's your name?"
"Chuye!"
My name is Chu Ye!
This time Chu Ye wants to shout loudly, Murong family, so what if you found out
I am no longer afraid of you.
