Zuo Yu was shocked. He stared at the figure in front of him. Even if it was just a glimpse, it was absolutely impossible for him to mistake Ye Ming's face... No wonder, he always felt familiar when he saw him before.
But how is this possible? !
Hasn't Ye Ming been in a coma all the time? I personally visited him in the Qi Mansion, how could he appear by the emperor's side, and in this capacity? If this is Ye Ming himself, who is that person in the Qi residence now
Zuo Yu had countless doubts in his heart, he looked around vigilantly, and seeing that there was no one else here, he finally walked over to Ye Ming!
Ye Ming hadn't left the palace for a long time. At this moment, he couldn't help but be a little lost when he looked at the continuous mountains in the distance. He didn't notice someone around him. Suddenly, he saw someone striding forward, and only then did he realize that Zuo Yu was also here! His face changed suddenly and he was about to leave in a hurry.
Zuo Yu didn't expect that Ye Ming would want to dodge when he saw him, so he quickly accelerated his pace, stepped forward and grabbed Ye Ming's wrist tightly, his voice carrying a hint of imperceptible nervousness: "Wenqing, is that you?"
Ye Ming's face turned pale, and he pursed his lips and did not speak. If he answered out loud, Zuo Yu would definitely recognize his identity... But this is not acceptable, not to mention that he does not want to be discovered by people he is familiar with. , and he was also worried that Zuo Yu would contradict the emperor and bring disaster to himself.
It's just that Zuo Yu has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his strength is not comparable to that of a literati like him. Ye Ming couldn't shake Zuo Yu's hand, and looked anxious.
Zuo Yu didn't understand why Ye Ming avoided him at first, but he was not a dull person, so he quickly guessed Ye Ming's thoughts. Ye Ming appeared by the emperor's side as a male pet, and he would definitely feel embarrassed and ashamed to be recognized by himself, and it is normal to avoid...
But I discovered such a secret today, but I can't turn a blind eye no matter what! He believed that Ye Ming was not the kind of person who served the king in Israel, and he must have had a hard time doing this.
Zuo Yu looked at Ye Ming and said, "Wenqing, I know it's you. Can you tell me what's going on?"
Ye Ming didn't expect that Zuo Yu had already recognized him. It was getting late, and he didn't know when Li Zechen would come over. If Li Zechen saw that he was entangled with Zuo Yu, it would be troublesome.
He gritted his teeth and finally said, "Let go of me and leave me alone."
As soon as Zuo Yu heard Ye Ming's familiar voice, the last trace of doubt in his heart dissipated. If this was Ye Ming himself, then the one in the Qi residence must be fake!
And in this world, who else could make the eldest son of the dignified Qi Mansion 'comatose' without realizing it, and imprison him by his side, this person... can only be that supreme being.
Zuo Yu remembered Li Zechen's doting on Ye Ming along the way, and couldn't help but give birth to an extremely absurd conjecture, with anger in his eyes.
Zuo Yu asked in a deep voice, "Did the emperor force you to stay by his side?"
Ye Ming was really reluctant to answer this embarrassing question, so he lowered his voice and said, "You just haven't seen me today."
Zuo Yu couldn't believe it at first, but seeing that Ye Ming didn't deny it, and the facts were in front of him, he couldn't help but believe it! He refused to let go of Ye Ming's hand and said anxiously, "How could I pretend that I didn't see you, do you know how worried your parents are about you? Do you know how worried I am about you? You also know... my sister has Are you worried about you?"
Ye Ming remembered his relatives and friends, and couldn't help but his eyes were slightly red, but he really couldn't hurt Zuo Yu, his voice was hoarse, "I know, but... you should treat me as dead. Tell Yifang, don't wait. I'm..."
Zuo Yu was deeply distressed when he heard the sadness and helplessness in Ye Ming's voice.
With Ye Ming's personality, how could he voluntarily become that shameful male pet, abandoning his wife, parents and relatives who he had never met... He was trapped by Li Zechen's side during this period of time, how painful and desperate it must be!
This fool!
Zuo Yu's face was tight, and he said, "I'll go and beg the emperor to let you go!"
Ye Ming's face turned pale when he heard the fear, and he said sharply, "Shut up! Do you know what you are talking about?"
Zuo Yu's eyes were also a little red, "As the ruler of a country, he forcibly robbed his subjects to enter the palace. Can't I speak to discourage him from such absurd things?"
Ye Ming didn't expect Zuo Yu to be willing to risk his death to give advice for him, but because of this, he couldn't let him pay such a price for himself, but looking at his firm appearance, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to dissuade him, Ye Ming was worried. , When he was anxious, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Zechen's return, and finally said, "I am willing! The emperor didn't force me, so don't meddle in your own business!"
Zuo Yu was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it."
Ye Ming was anxious, "Let go!"
Zuo Yu saw Ye Ming's shrill voice and resolute attitude, and his eyes showed a shocked look, but he still refused to let go. At this moment, his mind was also in chaos, and his emotions such as shock and complexity were rolling in his heart.
Li Zechen originally just wanted to give Ye Ming some alone time to relax, so he did not rush back, but hunted a few more wild deer before returning to the camp.
But Ye Ming didn't stay where he was. Li Zechen asked the guard for his direction, and went there alone, but he didn't expect Zuo Yu to be there, and he held Ye Ming and didn't let go, his eyes filled with killing intent!
Li Zechen took out the sword from his waist directly, stretched out his hand and waved, the tip of the sword pressed against Zuo Yu's throat, and said coldly, "Presumptuous!"
Zuo Yu felt a coldness on his skin, and the chill of the sharp blade penetrated into his body. As soon as he looked up, he saw Li Zechen standing in front of him in anger, and finally released his hand involuntarily, his face changed and he fell to the ground: "Wei Chen See Your Majesty."
Ye Ming loosened his wrist and took a step back quickly. He was anxious when he saw Li Zechen pointing his sword at Zuo Yu, and pleaded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I... let's go back."
Li Zechen didn't move, his eyes narrowed slightly with a cold light, and said lightly, "He recognized you, didn't he?"
Ye Ming was stiff all over. He didn't know what Li Zechen meant, and he didn't know whether to answer or not.
Zuo Yu knelt there straight, he looked at Li Zechen, who was full of murderous intentions, and Ye Ming, who was at a loss. He felt sorry for him in his heart. He was obviously a gentleman like the bright moon in the sky, but he was forced to become a man. so…
He suddenly said: "Back to the emperor, Wei Chen did recognize Qi Gongzi."
As soon as Li Zechen lifted the tip of his sword, he cut the skin at Zuo Yu's throat, and a trace of blood oozes out. He said slowly, "You shouldn't recognize him."
Zuo Yu had never felt that death was so close to him, but he looked at Ye Ming and said firmly: "The emperor robbed a subject to enter the palace, it was really the act of a stupefied monarch, he could hide it for a while, but he couldn't hide it for the rest of his life. It's not a pity, but I can't watch the emperor continue to make mistakes!"
Li Zechen didn't expect Zuo Yu to be so bold and to dissuade him regardless of his life, his eyes turned cold, "It seems that you are going to risk your death to remonstrate today?"
Ye Ming knew it was bad as soon as he heard Zuo Yu's opening. He actually said in front of Li Zechen that he was a smuggler. At this moment, seeing that Li Zechen was really angry, he suddenly rushed over to block Zuo Yu, leaned over and knelt on the ground, " The emperor is angry."
Li Zechen was in a bad mood at first, but seeing Ye Ming so nervous and Zuo Yu at the moment, he was even more jealous, his voice was cold, "He recognized you, I can't let him leave like this today!"
Ye Ming thought that Li Zechen was trying to kill someone, his face was pale, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, calm down, he... he won't say it!"
Li Zechen pulled Ye Ming up, held him in his arms, and then said coldly, "Come here, take Zuo Yu and lock him up, waiting for my hair to fall!"
Ye Ming was in a hurry. Seeing Zuo Yu being taken away, he couldn't break free from Li Zechen's control, so he picked him up and took him back to the carriage.
He was worried about Zuo Yu, and begged again and again: "Please don't blame him, the emperor, he didn't do anything... It's just that he just said a few words to the minister... He won't go out and talk nonsense!"
Because of the struggle just now, Ye Ming's hood had already fallen off when he entered the carriage. Li Zechen stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, looking at his red eyes from anxiety, jealous and angry in his heart: "You are so anxious for him. Pleading, lest I hurt him, aren't you afraid of revealing your identity? And how can you be sure that he won't talk nonsense?"
Isn't your reputation the most important thing to you? Do you believe him that much? Don't know how bad it would be to be exposed on such an occasion? Or say... Zuo Yu's life and death are more important than your reputation in your eyes, you can make you ignore the risk of your own ruin and ask me to let him go!
Li Zechen didn't really want to kill, he just wanted to control Zuo Yu first, but Ye Ming's reaction made him want to kill that person directly! If you can do this to everyone and treat everyone like this, why do you have to be right with me
Haven't I given you enough? We could have created a prosperous world together. How can you be so sure that we will become the laughing stock of the world? Do you have no confidence in me
After all, you just don't care about me.
[Ding, Li Zechen's blackening value is +20, the current blackening value is 70]
Li Zechen threw Ye Ming directly on the soft slump and pulled away his belt with one hand. Ye Ming felt a chill, and then looked at Li Zechen's furious eyes with unprecedented fear. He struggled and tried to escape, but was caught by Li Zechen and forcefully bite his neck.
Ye Ming couldn't push Li Zechen away, his voice trembled slightly: "Your Majesty... This is a carriage... Let's go back first... Okay..."
He hates this kind of thing the most, but he knows that he has no right to refuse at all, and the only thing he can hope for is not to be here...
Li Zechen squeezed his chin and sneered: "Aren't you afraid? What does it have to do here? If it is discovered, let Zuo Yu say it. He is directly arguing with me like this, is he worried about you? reputation?"
Ye Ming's lips turned pale, "He... he just... "
"What is he?" Li Zechen's eyes were dangerous, and his voice seemed to come from hell, "He just cares about you, worried about you, right?"
…
This process was extremely difficult. It was the first time that Li Zechen treated him so rudely. Ye Ming tried his best not to make a sound. He felt ashamed when he thought that there were all the attendants accompanying him, but he and the emperor were doing lewd things in the carriage. .
In the end, it was Li Zechen who carried him back to the palace, because he could no longer walk.
Li Zechen put Ye Ming on the bed and was about to withdraw his hand, but Ye Ming struggled to grasp his sleeve and refused to let go. There were faint tears in the corners of his eyes, and there were blue and purple marks on the collarbone of his neck, and his voice was hoarse: "Your Majesty... Zuo Yuhe..."
Li Zechen's eyes were cold when he heard the words, but he was a little soft-hearted when he looked at Ye Ming like this, and he still said, "I won't kill him."
After speaking, he did not stay, but left directly.
[888: What are you doing today? Is it specifically to increase the blackening value?]
[Ye Ming: Of course not. I'm just preparing for the next step. It's time to change the current situation and give Li Zechen a sense of crisis. Is it really impossible for him to continue like this for the rest of his life?]
[888: But it's not a good idea to let Zuo Yu know, I'm afraid he won't keep a secret for you.]
[Ye Ming: I just want him to know ^_^]
[Ye Ming: Brother, do you remember the movements and situations of everyone who asked you to help me observe after I came back?]
[888: Remember.]
Li Zechen had just ascended the throne that year. In order to win over people's hearts and show his kindness, he did not want to carry the notoriety of killing his brother, so he did not kill Li Zeyuan.
But Li Zeyuan was not willing to be imprisoned for the rest of his life. His mother was the eldest daughter of Zheng Guogong, and she had a relative strength that could not be ignored. In addition, she was originally a prince and had many followers back then. Although Li Zechen said that he was not to blame for the original prince's lineage, he still How many people believe it? The emperor and the courtier of a dynasty are like a tiger.
Therefore, Li Zeyuan has been planning to kill Li Zechen and take the throne. Although it seems that he has been deprived of his freedom, he still has a certain network strength. Zuo Yu was also close to Li Zeyuan back then, and the Zuo family has always been very close to Zheng Guogong's mansion.
Zuo Yu knew about himself, and Li Zeyuan would basically know too.
[Ye Ming: I need to use Zuo Yu to pass this news to Li Zeyuan, Li Zeyuan will definitely take advantage of this, not to mention, he also likes me.]
[888: You're a fool without blinking, but Li Zechen may not let Zuo Yu go out.]
[Ye Ming: It's impossible for Li Zechen to not know Li Zeyuan's actions. He may have already laid out the plan and was waiting for Li Zeyuan to take action. This time, he can justifiably kill him. I think he will also use Zuo Yu... If he refuses to let Zuo Yu go out, it's definitely not because of anything else, but just because he doesn't want to involve me in this matter.]
[888: Your uncle is in trouble.]
[Ye Wei: Yes, so it doesn't matter if the marriage with the Zuo family is not settled. Rebellion is not a small crime, it is better to hide as far as possible O(∩_∩)O~]
…
Li Zechen was really too angry yesterday. He felt that he was still negligent. He didn't look at Ye Ming properly, so he was recognized by Zuo Yu. Zuo Yu had been secretly involved with Zheng Guogong's mansion, and he was afraid that he was also from Li Zeyuan's side. He knew Ye Ming's identity and would definitely tell Li Zeyuan.
So Li Zechen really almost wanted to kill him at that time, but he held back in the end. If he killed Zuo Yu directly, Ye Ming would definitely think that he was brutal and hate him even more.
The next day, Li Zechen felt calmer, and finally returned to Fengyang Palace.
Ye Ming was sitting in the room worried, he didn't even eat a few bites of breakfast, Li Zechen didn't stay here for the first time last night, was he really angry? What's up with Zuo Yu now
When he saw Li Zechen came back, he rarely took the initiative to greet him. After thinking about it, he still said, "Your Majesty, Zuo Yu..."
Li Zechen's eyes were dark, and his voice was a little cold: "I have already said that I will not kill him."
But if you don't kill him, do you want to keep him locked up like this? He was all implicated by himself. The more Ye Ming thought about it, the more regretful he felt in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said after a pause, "Please, the emperor, let him go."
"Let him go?" Li Zechen narrowed his eyes.
You are so kind, and everyone is willing to protect you, but do you know that others think of you and protect you
Ye Ming looked at Li Zechen's indifferent expression, but felt sad in his heart. If he didn't say anything, even those who cared about him would be implicated, but he couldn't do anything... What should he do to make Li Zechen let Zuo Yu go
Ye Ming closed his eyes in pain, maybe he should give up, give up that ridiculous insistence.
Since he can only stay by Li Zechen's side, maybe he should be like those women and make the emperor happy... in order to achieve his goal, right? In fact, it's nothing, it's just your own dignity that you give up.
Ye Ming stood up slowly, his eyelashes trembled, suddenly reached out to unbutton his clothes, the robe fell to the ground, he walked up to Li Zechen, raised his head and kissed his chin lightly, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty , minister... to serve you..."
His movements were extremely stiff, and his voice was extremely jerky. He was obviously not good at this kind of behavior at all, and his face was flushed with shame and anger.
Li Zechen looked at the person in front of him, motionless, because Ye Ming lowered his head slightly, he could only see the black hair on top of his head, the bridge of his nose, and the long eyelashes like feather fans left a faint shadow under his eyes. There was a blush on her delicate face.
I trapped this person by myself, tried my best, and never got a half-point response, let alone let him take the initiative...
But now, you are willing to do this for Zuo Yu... Just because he is your friend and gave you a little care... You are going to repay it, right
You are so kind to everyone...
Li Zechen's eyes were dark, and the painful and suppressed emotions were as heavy as night, and there seemed to be indescribable loneliness and powerlessness.
He gently lifted Ye Ming's chin and said, "Are you trying to please me?"
Ye Ming looked extremely embarrassed, but he still tried his best to remain calm, and said in a low voice, "I should serve the emperor..."
Should it be? Then why weren't you so obedient and so proactive before? Li Zechen stared at his face and mocked himself in his voice: "Then you can serve me well, maybe I'll let Zuo Yu go if I'm happy."
Hearing this, Ye Ming gathered up his courage and stretched out his arms to hug Li Zechen's neck, closed his eyes and kissed again.
Li Zechen felt cold in his heart, knowing that he was doing this just for the sake of others... But how could he resist this person's approach, and let out a low roar and kiss back!
…
The next day, Li Zechen sat beside the bed, glanced at Ye Ming on the bed, and said lightly, "I am very satisfied, so I will let him go."
Hearing this, Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
But there was no smile on Li Zechen's face, he just got up and put on his clothes and left.
He thought that he could not care about anything, even if Ye Ming hated him and resented him and refused to look at him more, he could accept it, he only needed to trap him by his side, but he didn't expect... Not so generous.
Still jealous and painful, but... He never showed it.
I shouldn't have let Zuo Yu go, but if you begged me, I can only promise you.
During this period of floods in the south and the displaced people, Li Zechen had to deal with a lot of things. He was very busy, and sometimes he was too busy. He even stayed directly in the imperial study, and spent less time with Ye Ming.
Since that time, Ye Ming has completely let go, or has given up on himself. He has no longer resisted Li Zechen, and has been submissive as if he is really his favorite.
If you want to protect the people around you, if you want them to live well, you should please Li Zechen, this is the only thing he can do now. He could put down his ridiculous insistence for them.
After thinking about this, it doesn't seem so difficult anymore.
Li Zechen occasionally returned to Fengyang Palace, and Ye Ming would always take the initiative to come over to greet him, change his clothes, and gradually let go of him on the bed.
He didn't make a fuss or make trouble, and he didn't bring up the matter anymore, as if he was finally used to such a day.
But Li Zechen felt that the current Ye Ming was like a walking corpse, closing his heart, leaving only one shell to do what he thought was right and should be done.
He is not for himself, but for his parents, for Zuo Yu, for Zuo Yifang.
Li Zechen hugs this person every day, but he only feels pain, but he can't let go, just like a person who is about to freeze to death in the cold winter. He wears thin clothes and finally finds a stove in the ice and snow, so he He held onto it tightly and refused to let go, even if the temperature of the stove was too high, scalding his flesh.
…
This day, Li Zechen discussed political affairs with the ministers again, and came back very late, but Ye Ming hadn't slept yet.
Li Zechen was a little hungry, so he asked Ye Ming to accompany him to eat supper. He was a little tired today, so he didn't plan to do anything, he just wanted to rest early, but as soon as he got up, he saw Ye Ming looking at him hesitantly.
Li Zechen knew at a glance that Ye Ming had something to tell him, otherwise, why would he wait for him here so late without sleeping? Although he was very tired, he still asked in a gentle tone: "What do you want to say to me?"
Ye Ming looked at Li Zechen, his hands under his sleeves clenched tightly, he was silent for a while, and finally lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty... offspring are important, and occasionally they should be exposed to rain and dew, and it is the only way to spread branches and leaves for the royal family..."
Li Zechen took a breath, his eyes narrowed, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and swept everything off the table! There was a series of crackling noises, the fragments of the porcelain bowl and the soup were scattered on the ground, and the pain and anger that had been suppressed for days could no longer be controlled! Sen Ran said, "Do you just want to push me out!"
[888: Your words are a bit disturbing, not so good?]
[Ye Ming: Is there any (⊙v⊙)]
[888:…]
The author has something to say: Ye Ming: I heard that readers always misread my name and call me Ye Luo.
888: This shows that you have no sense of existence.
Ye Ming: Isn't it because the author chose the name too casually? ?
888: Haha.
Li Zechen: My dear, I will help you kill the defunct author.
Ye Ming: You still love me QAQ
