Ye Qing was not surprised that his two brothers were also here.
They are not brothers and sisters formed through rituals and oaths like Ge Sheng, but blood brothers with the same blood flowing in each other's veins.
This is the Lanlan Imperial Capital. If the two brothers still pretend to be deaf and try to keep a distance from her at this time, they will not be the brothers she remembers.
"You did it, Xiaojiu." Ye Bei sat there and said, without reprimanding or encouraging, just simply stating a fact.
"I wanted to make a bet with him on how many votes you could win, but this guy said he wouldn't bet." Another person said easily, his emerald green robe flowing with emerald green aura.
He looks nothing like Ye Bei.
Ge Sheng thought so the first time he saw him.
This man wore an emerald green robe studded with emeralds and jade, but he did not have a heavy golden crown on his head like the leaf tablet, but had long green hair hanging loose.
He doesn't look like a prince at all, not at all.
Ge Sheng said to himself in his heart.
It's like one-third poet, one-third nobleman, and one-third jester.
However, this man was the only man who remained silent during the entire incident.
He dispatched the Lanye Guards and played a vital role in the "Promised Oath", but all of this is hidden under the water. Above the water, the second prince of the Lanye Empire is still the same A nobleman of the royal family who indulges in sensuality and wealth.
It is precisely because he is "such" a prince that Ye Bei's status as the crown prince of the empire has never wavered.
But Ge Sheng never thought so, because when Ye Qing talked about his second brother, he was twice as close as his eldest brother.
Ye Luo looked at the girl at the door, then chuckled softly: "Come to give a sister a kiss?"
"Kissing is giving, not asking." Ye Qing walked into the room, sat down gently in his seat, and then raised his cheeks: "Because of you, I suffered a heavy loss today."
Ye Bei lowered his head and did not smile. The crown prince had a grace and calmness similar to his father. He said calmly: "The empire has suffered greater losses."
"Yes, yes." Ye Qing nodded and raised his fingers: "We have lost a possible ally, and the most powerful one. There is a rift between the royal family and the Imperial Council, and it is the most serious in a hundred years. Cracks, and also, I severely humiliated that Majesty, well, the last thing is the happiest thing for me."
Ye Bei nodded: "And from today on, the Ninth Princess can no longer practice behind closed doors in the palace."
"Then let's think of a better place for her to go?" Ye Qing agreed with interest, then raised his eyebrows: "I can send her to the St Empire to make amends to His Majesty, and ensure that both His Majesty and the princess will get along well. .”
"If we do this." Ye Luo said with a smile: "When you come of age, we must wrap the Ninth Princess in a box and tie it with a ribbon and give it to His Majesty. By the way, you remember to let the Ninth Princess be covered with cream. It will definitely be more palatable.”
"It's a very bad topic for a brother to care about whether his sister is delicious." Ye Qing retorted pretending to be angry, and then stretched out as much as possible on the soft seat: "You're kidding, I don't even want to give him my sister, so what?" Maybe tie yourself up and send him over.”
Then Ye Qing became serious and looked at his brother opposite him.
"I learned part of what happened this time from my sister, and I want to know more here."
The two princes looked at each other, and then Ye Luo spoke first: "I have always been more talented when it comes to telling stories, so I'll do the talking."
"The arrival of a certain princess from the Hidden Tribe, and the letter of credence written by His Majesty himself. This is something that too many people know about, so there is no need to say it again."
"What the empire then faces is undoubtedly a choice."
"My father said that he would respect Aluan's choice, and Aluan hopes that the Imperial Council will make the decision on her behalf."
"Then the Imperial Council agreed to the engagement without hesitation."
"Of course, you later proved that the Imperial Council was manipulated by His Majesty to a certain extent at that time, but even if it wasn't, the conditions put forward by His Majesty were so sincere, I'm afraid that if you want the Throne of Thorns, he will only hastily ask if you want it in one piece or in pieces. Smashed the box?"
"After the Imperial Council passed it, Aluan said he would comply with the council's decision. Only then did His Majesty begin to distort the entire engagement."
"If you don't get engaged, get married immediately."
"Seventeen years old is still too young for Lan Ye, but it's old enough for Ste."
"After the protest, His Majesty proposed new conditions."
"A certain Ninth Princess is engaged to him. In that case, he can wait."
"The Imperial Council continued to agree, but this time Aluan did not agree."
"So we returned to the previous issue. Before spring comes, we must pack Aluan and send it to the St. Empire."
"His Majesty specifically reiterated that nothing matters as long as Her Royal Highness herself can reach his court."
"The long wrangling in the Imperial Parliament has finally begun. Since the engagement is still confidential, every member must recite an oath of secrecy when entering the venue. This is of course useful, but its usefulness is limited. Everyone who should know is known."
"That's when we realized what His Majesty could really gain from this engagement that had turned into a farce."
Ye Qing nodded: "He can get everything he wants."
"It's not that exaggerated, but it's close. We helped him clearly distinguish between his enemies and his allies, outside and inside."
"The military has always been rampant with hawks, so they are absolutely opposed to it. Anyway, they hold Yanshi City in their hands and are not afraid of meeting His Majesty on the battlefield. However, more officials have been talking about the sacredness of the oath and the war. The horror, on the surface, makes us lose a little bit of dignity and honor. Overall, we are the biggest beneficiaries, aren’t we?”
"The dignity and honor of the royal family, their gold and peace." Ye Qing said with a smile.
"But we are silent." Ye Luo said softly, without anger or frustration.
"Did you realize then how hateful His Majesty was?" Ye Qing smiled extremely happily.
"We voluntarily gave up our power, so it will be difficult to reach out and get it back again." Ye Luo nodded: "Of course all this is not a problem, the problem is - A Luan never spoke."
"In the whole incident, she only spoke three times. The first time she handed over the decision-making power to the parliament on behalf of her father, the second time she agreed to the engagement, and the third time she vetoed the engagement for you."
"We were all waiting for her fourth word, but she never did."
"Because she is the idiot we know." Ye Qing said.
"Only you are qualified to say that Qingluan Blood is an idiot." Ye Luo nodded: "Because you are the biggest idiot in the world, and idiots always have a common language."
"Time passes day by day, and the agreed deadline is approaching."
"The princess acknowledged her engagement, but the empire never made a final decision. Amidst the chaos, Her Royal Highness disappeared."
"You don't know how lively the Imperial Council Hall was at that time, not even compared to the day you sneaked the human ticking bug into it. In an instant, all the issues and debates came to an end. Whether we were marrying the princess or selling the princess, we were always hands-on. It only counts if you have a princess in your arms."
Ye Qing looked at his brother who was the least like him: "But you know what she is going to do."
"Of course I know, who calls me your brother?" Ye Luo scratched the tip of his nose unhappily: "So the brothers are responsible for all the sisters' troubles."
"I checked the movements of all the carriages and horses, the whereabouts of the caravans, and the movement of the mercenary group. She left privately. She could not and did not dare to mobilize the royal family and the army. It is naturally the fastest to act alone, but only "false promises" can hide it. Her movements prevented her from being found by prophecy and detection magic, so although it was difficult, I finally found her."
Ge Sheng had been listening, and now the topic turned to the part he understood: "Then you sent out the Guards Corps?"
"Me?" Ye Luo laughed and shook his head: "If the brother next to me dies or disappears one day, brother, you won't be angry if I say this - then I can legally call the Guards Corps, Of course, it can be done with some tricks, just like Xiaojiu can use Qianye Liubi to forcefully mobilize troops, but the consequences will be terrible, I assure you. "
"I found my brother, and it turned out that he and I had found the same thing. Then we jointly decided to stop the princess first, and then go find Xiaojiu."
"But the Guards Corps claims to go out on its own." Ge Sheng said.
"Do you expect them to admit that it was my brother and I who mobilized them?" Ye Luo shrugged: "Just understand some things in your mind. We gave them an order to leave the camp. As for what they went out to do, whether it was to rob the city or attack the caravan. It has nothing to do with us."
"We're just letting them get out of camp."
"I just didn't expect my brother to be with her, right?" Ye Qing smiled.
"Who would have thought that the saint's disciple, Ye Yeyuansheng, was actually working as a mercenary?" Ye Luo spread his hands: "Then Ge Sheng brought her directly to you. There was a lack of communication between us. When I knew all this, you An application for joint defense has been submitted to the Imperial Parliament.”
"So I have to send you a copy of the oath."
"Otherwise." Ye Qing asked softly.
"Maybe you can do what we can't do. As long as you can persuade your Aluan to veto the engagement in the Imperial Council Hall, then the royal family will stand behind her."
"This is a little more difficult than my joint defense." Ye Qing smiled and curled up his fists, then raised them towards his second brother.
Swing out hard.
Ye Luo was directly knocked away, his body rolled continuously in the air, and then hit the wall before stopping.
The leaf tablet did not move.
"Brother, I also want to attack you." Ye Qing looked at Ye Ye's crown prince with a smile, and then sighed: "But I don't want to bear the crime of attacking the crown prince."
"My sister is waiting for you to take action, but you want your sister to speak first."
"Why did you see your sister hanging precariously on a tree, instead of putting her down first, you waited for her to call you for help?"
"Do you think that what we don't want means we want it?"
"I'm going to tell you right now, how would things have progressed without my brother?"
"The blood of Qingluan will personally kill the deputy commander of the Lanye Guards Corps on the King's Avenue, and then the Guards Corps will not let her pass. Then she will choose to kill all the pursuers with her own hands."
"And all witnesses."
"Then, she will desperately go to the Ste Empire alone, and her identity will be exposed. If you react quickly, you will have a chance to announce her defection and hunt her down. In this case, if she successfully enters the Ste Empire, she will directly become Xi Che Queen."
"If you want to sacrifice one-third of the Guards Corps and announce the official marriage of the third princess and Emperor Ste? I'm afraid no one wants to see such a bloody wedding, right?"
"I'm afraid even you yourselves won't believe in the alliance formed at that time."
Ye Qing looked at his two brothers without a smile on his face: "My dear brothers."
