After all this trouble, it was already getting late. If she hadn't been careful when she went to bed tonight, Jing Yun would have succeeded again.
"Ye Yi, the four of you will leave two of you to keep watch every night, one in the first half of the night and one in the second half of the night. They will keep watch night and night, rotating day by day."
"Yes, miss."
"Okay, it's getting late. You should allocate your work, rest when you need to, and go do what you need to do. You don't need to keep watch tonight."
After this incident, Jingyun will definitely be honest for a while.
"yes."
Ye Yi and the others retreated.
Ye Jinxiao yawned and walked back, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes. The most disgusting thing in the world is to be woken up in the middle of sleep.
"Ye Jinxiao."
Who is calling her?
She thought she was hearing hallucinations and ignored her until she screamed again. Then she looked back and saw Chu Yuci standing not far away, following her.
He stood under the tree, seeming to be hesitating.
"Is something wrong?"
Say it.
She was very sleepy.
Chu Yuci pursed his thin lips and walked towards her, "The matter about Cui'er... I will send Feng Xing to investigate again tomorrow."
Ye Jinxiao was slightly surprised: "Why are you checking this?"
because……
Tonight, he heard those words from Liu Mingyue's mouth with his own ears...
At first, there was insufficient evidence and Cui'er's mother's matter was settled. Now he wants to investigate again and clear Cui'er's mother, which can also be regarded as an explanation for Ye Jinxiao.
"There may be something fishy about her death."
Ye Jinxiao smiled and sighed: "She's just a civilian woman. She's dead. This epidemic has killed so many people, and she's not one more. Besides, Fengxing is your confidant. It would be unavoidable to send him to investigate such a trivial matter." Are there some overkill?"
"And aren't you going to Nancheng and Feicheng to settle the funeral arrangements? At this time, there is no need to spread our hands to investigate this meaningless matter."
Chu Yuci suddenly looked at her with deep eyes.
Under the candlelight, his pitch-black eyes were as black as a deep pool, bottomless, grabbing her straight:
"You're angry?"
In the epidemic area at that time, in order to clear Cui'er's mother's name, she did her best to investigate and did not hesitate to use all her soldiers.
It was impossible for her not to care about this.
"Why am I angry?"
There was a smile on her face and her expression was as usual:
"At most I just said a few words to Mother Cui'er. I need to worry about this, decide on that, avenge this, and what to do with that. I can't even take care of myself, and I have to take care of other people. Do you think I am Is she the female Bodhisattva who hangs the pot to save the world?"
Chu Yuci stared at her closely, as if confirming the truth of her words.
Has she really given up?
"Okay, even if you poke a hole in my face, you won't see any flowers. It's just a dead person. I'm not pretentious enough to be sentimental."
She waved her hand casually.
Seeing that there was no anger or blame in her eyes, Chu Yuci felt a little relieved:
"You can think so, I am very relieved."
"Ms. Cui'er may have some issues with Liu Mingyue, but Liu Mingyue won't do such a heavy hand. She is also innocent. I asked you to tell me, I'm afraid you will be too worried."
Ye Jinxiao listened quietly, with the smile still on his face and the corners of his mouth still slightly raised:
"Your Majesty is wise."
Other than that, there is no second sentence.
But Chu Yuci felt that her smile was particularly hypocritical. The smile clearly did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and was wrapped in a thin layer of alienation, repelling people thousands of miles away.
He took half a step forward and said, "Are you mocking me?"
She chuckled: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. What you want to do is your business. Why do you tell me? What does it have to do with me?"
"you!"
In other words, she didn't listen to what he just said at all?
"I want to re-investigate the death of Mother Cui'er, but you say no; I don't want to investigate, but you are sarcastic, what exactly do you want me to do?"
He lowered his posture and wanted to talk to her properly, but she felt like she was under the influence of gunpowder. Her voice was the same as usual, but her voice was also forceful.
"What does Mother Cha Cuier's death have to do with me? She and I are not related to each other. It's really strange for you to say this. What do I want you to do?"
Ye Jinxiao took a half step back and distanced himself from him.
"I want to make peace, do you agree?"
Don't even think about it!
Hearing these two words, it stung like a needle in his ears, making Chu Yuci's eyes darken, and an unreasonable anger welled up in his heart.
Reconciliation is impossible!
"You were the one who wanted to get married in the first place. You are not qualified to propose reconciliation, and I will not agree to it."
"Oh, then there's nothing more to say."
She turned and left.
"Ye Jinxiao!" He rushed forward, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her over. What he saw was her plain face with no waves in her eyes, and those eyes that would never treat him again. Admiring, passionate eyes.
She has changed!
What happened to her?
Where has the old Ye Jinxiao gone?
"I, the King, will re-investigate the death of Mother Cui'er and seek justice for her. Why do you have to hold on to this matter any longer? Are you going to spend your whole life at odds with me over a commoner's wife?"
For the sake of a commoner's wife, make peace with him?
Is this civilian woman more important than him?
Ye Jinxiao smiled when he heard this.
That smile didn't reach his eyes at all, and was wrapped in three parts sarcasm, three parts rejection, and four parts alienation.
The proposed divorce was not just because of Cui'er's mother's death?
What disappointed her was that on the night of taking the concubine, he slapped Ye Jinxiao to death; it was that she clearly found out the fact that Liu Mingyue had harmed people with drugs, and he beat her 30 times indiscriminately; When she was in the epidemic area, she did not poison Liu Mingyue and was slapped by him in public.
When she found out about Liu Mingyue, he protected her calmly and accused her of being evil.
It was he who trampled on her innocence and questioned her character again and again.
I have lived two lifetimes and have never been slapped in the face.
She sneered and opened his fingers one by one, "Your Majesty, you are serious. I don't love you at all, let alone losing my temper."
Chu Yuci's pupils shrank, as if an invisible big hand was holding his throat, making his breathing suffocated.
do not love……
I don’t love it at all…
A few words buzzed in his mind. He should have been happy to be able to get rid of Ye Jinxiao, but at this moment he was controlled by an indescribable emotion, which made his heart feel palpitations and dull pains.
His thin lips were dry: "Just because of a civilian woman?"
Ye Jinxiao just smiled.
The communication between them was completely incorrect. Despite the generation gap of thousands of years, he would never understand what she was thinking, and she would never force herself to target his beloved again.
The only thing right now is reconciliation.
"No matter what the reason is, it is impossible for me to be husband and wife with you. Sooner or later, I will leave Prince Yu's Mansion."
'Ye Jinxiao' is dead.
'She' paid for the mistakes she made with her own life, and she didn't owe Chu Yuci anything.
"Your Highness, I am not 'Ye Jinxiao'. If we cooperate, you and I can get together easily. If it doesn't go well, I can only think of other ways."
She nodded her chin politely, turned and left without saying anything.
Chu Yuci stood there, watching the woman's leaving back, dragging longer and farther under the candlelight. That thin and slender body walked resolutely and ruthlessly, like a stranger, without any trace of emotion. nostalgia.
Just leave.
If there is even the slightest chance, I will never stay.
Why did he feel that his breathing was choked and the tugging at his heart was reluctance, anger, or something else?
