He walked out of Chongxiao Temple with Ye Chuxue in his arms. When he was about to get on the carriage, he saw Li Shier wearing white fur not far away, as well as the monk Wanyan Chen and Wanyan Xielie following behind him. Looking at the faces of the three of them with a little redness, it was obvious that they had been waiting here for a long time.

He put Ye Chuxue, who buried his little face in his arms because of the cold, into the carriage and signaled Jia She to send the little girl back home first. Ye Qing walked alone in the direction where Li Shier and the other two stood.

It has been half a month since I met Li Shi'er on the day I returned to Yanjing, Ye Qing has never disturbed Li Shi'er again.

It was like a patient competition. Ye Qing was somewhat impressed by Li Shier who could not calm down after half a month. He had to say that since Wanyan Jing was killed, Li Shier seemed much more steady than before.

The entire Wanning Palace is already deserted. Even the various school museums on both sides of the Qianbuluo Gate, the three provinces and six ministries and other government agencies, including Taimiao and other places, have been in a state of being deserted since Wanyan Jing left.

The gates of the palace where the guards were originally tightly guarded were now missing. The canal that runs through the west side of the palace, now in Li Shi'er's eyes, there was no longer the fun of the past.

Whether it is the two lakes in Tongli Park or the larger fish and algae pond in the palace, the water surface has been frozen by the cold winter, and the sparse yellow branches and leaves swaying on the ice with the cold wind, as if greeting her, the original owner.

The palace seemed very dilapidated and lonely. Since the Jin Dynasty left, Li Shi'er could also see that the Song people had no concern for the entire palace, just like... just like the Song court Kaifeng Palace occupied by the Jin people at that time, the smell of destruction and desolation was everywhere.

Wanning Palace is much larger than the Song Ting Palace in Kaifeng Prefecture, so when the unmanaged Wanning Palace seems to be decayed and desolate, the depressed smell will naturally be stronger.

Entering from Danfeng Gate is Qianbu Gate. On both sides of Qianbu Gate are various government offices and some places where the Jin emperors sacrifice. Then the end of Qianbu Gate is Yingtian Gate and Da'an Gate. Only after entering is the real palace.

The originally beautiful buildings such as the Yuzao Pond on the left are already dilapidated. Li Shi'er on the East Palace on the right doesn't have to think about it at all, just knowing that it will not be much better without anyone taking care of it.

After crossing Da'anmen, some of the buildings Li Shi'er was slightly familiar with. The first thing that caught my eye was the Da'an Hall. The huge palace still stood majestic between heaven and earth, but the majesty that the royal family should have was now nowhere to be found from the shell of the hall.

Ye Qing's voice came from time to time, not caring about Li Shi'er's cold expression and emotions at all, nor did he pay attention to the gloomy faces of Monks Wanyan Chen and Wanyan Xielie behind him. He told Li Shi'er enthusiastically that after the New Year, Wanning Palace will become a beautiful plan for the Yanjing Academy of Song Ting.

The East Palace will naturally be regarded as a school. As for the Yuyao Pond and the Tongli Paradise on the west side, it is naturally a place for scholars to relax. When you pass through Xuanming Gate behind Da'an Palace and then cross the Renzheng Gate, the buildings and palaces inside, Li Shi'er will not make a mistake even if he closes his eyes now.

Monk Wanyan Chen and Wanyan Xielie did not step into the Renzheng Hall with Ye Qing and Li Shi'er. At this time, the scene in Renzheng Hall was completely different from the environment that Li Shi'er was familiar with. They no longer had the solemnity and solemnity of the Jin Dynasty Hall, nor did they have the solemnity of the Jin Dynasty Hall.

The hustle and bustle she was familiar with in the past.

The corners of the hall were covered with spider webs, and even the rows of chairs in the hall were left with thick dust. The empty hall now looked particularly desolate and bleak. In Li Shi'er's eyes, all this scene was like the current state of Jin, full of bleakness and loneliness that made people sigh.

"Sir, I guess it's not to make me feel sad when I see the scene, right?" After looking at Xiao Suo's lonely Renzheng Hall, Li Shi'er slowly lowered her head and said as she looked at the clear footprints left by Ye Qing on the dust on the ground.

"The seal of the Jin Kingdom is of course useful to Wanyan Xun, but it is useless to me." Ye Qing looked straight ahead. The dragon throne that originally belonged to Wanyan Jing was now covered with dust and spider webs. At this time, he seemed so lonely and lonely, just like a tablet.

"I know that the seal of Jin Kingdom has no value to Mr., but if Mr. wants to use this seal to negotiate peace with Wanyan Xun, Shi'er will never agree." Li Shi'er looked at Ye Qing's tall back, and his heart was filled with melancholy and helplessness.

She knew that Ye Qing would never hurt them, but now she was not sure whether Ye Qing chose to protect and not hurt them, was because Wanyan Jing had more entrusted, or because there were more reasons for threatening Wanyan Xun.

"Jing'er has entrusted me to take care of you mother and son, and I will never go back on my word." Ye Qing turned around, looked at Li Shi'er's calm eyes, and then sighed slightly and said, "Yes, Wanyan Xun did send someone to send invitations yesterday. In the day after the day... the Mongolian envoy and the Song court envoy, Ye Qing, will go to Shangjing Prefecture..."

"So you won't help us mother and son take revenge?" Li Shi'er raised her chin slightly, and her originally calm eyes became a little sharp and angry.

"I have never promised you... to help you avenge Jing'er..." Ye Qing frowned slightly.

"But you have to use our mother and son as bargaining chips in your hands to take this opportunity to collect money, right?" Li Shi'er obviously doesn't have much patience, especially when speaking to people like Ye Qing. If you don't say it more bluntly, you will always suffer the consequences in the end: "And your ultimate goal is to incorporate the territory of the Jin Kingdom into the territory of the Song court, not to avenge our mother and son, so... why should I be used by you? I can leave."

"Although the world is big, where can you mother and son go?" Ye Qing sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, paused, and then said, "What's more, since Jing'er has entrusted you mother and son to me, how could I let you leave Yanjing regardless of your safety?"

"You? Do you want to put our mother and son under house arrest?" Li Shi'er was angry and said hatefully as he looked at Ye Qing's calm and gentle look.

Ye Qing shook his head silently, then walked through Renzheng Hall and continued to walk deep into Wanning Palace. Li Shi'er was stunned for a moment, and then followed Ye Qing's steps and walked in.

"Even if I want to help you mother and son get revenge, how could the Mongols miss the opportunity to seize gold?" Ye Qing said to Li Shi'er who followed him without looking back: "Since you can know that I received an invitation from Wanyan Xun so quickly, then you should also know what is the real purpose of Temujin personally leading his troops from Tubo to retreat eastward, right?"

Li Shi'er, who was following behind, closed her lips tightly, and the white fur looked particularly bright and lively in the winter sun.

"Even if I, Ye Qing, don't attack Jin Guo,

It’s my Ye Qing who is willing to help you mother and son take revenge, but... what are you mother and son using to protect the precarious Jin Kingdom?" Ye Qing still did not look back, regardless of whether there was Li Shier behind him, but continued: "I have always been afraid of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry. Even today, even if I have hundreds of thousands of troops under my command, Ye Qing doesn’t have much confidence in the Mongolian Iron Cavalry..."

"The Jin Kingdom is willing to regard you as the Grand Tutor. Can't this help you help us mother and son resist the Mongols' covetment of us?" Li Shi'er said with his head down.

"I do, but are my army from all walks of the Song Dynasty willing?" Ye Qing turned around and looked at Li Shi'er who also stopped, and said slowly: "The shame of Jingkang will not disappear completely with the weakness of the Jin Dynasty, and you bow to the Song Dynasty. This hatred and shame will remain in the hearts of the people and soldiers of the Song Dynasty and will never be erased. As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words are not right. Even if I can help you and your mother and son to regain the throne of the Jin Dynasty, what reason should I use to convince all the armies that can send troops to help every time when the Jin Dynasty is threatened by the Mongols?"

Li Shi'er blinked her bright eyes in the cold winter. When Ye Qing said the last time, the scene of Ye Qing's capture of her and Wanyan Jing unconsciously emerged in her mind when Ye Qing rescued her captured from the Mongols.

As if he knew what Li Shi'er was thinking, Ye Qing sighed helplessly and continued: "I decided to lead the Hua Family Army to save you and Wanyan Jing from the Mongolians. I didn't have any concerns. Even in the Hua Family Army, there were different voices. Fortunately, the Hua Family Army was built by me, and its personal loyalty to me has exceeded the loyalty to the Song court. With their unconditional trust in me, we were able to arrive in time to save you and Jing'er. Although other armies are now sent by me, Ye Qing, these are based on the most basic condition, that is, every battle I led them to fight is for the Song Dynasty, not for me. And if we want to fight for you, mother and son in the future..."

"But you still use the excuse of avenging our mother and son to send troops to the Jin Kingdom?" Li Shi'er asked with his head raised.

"Yes, I will still use this excuse, but no one wants to see that after Wanyan Xun, there will be another Jin emperor, even a puppet, not a puppet." Ye Qing said firmly.

Li Shi'er looked at Ye Qing, who was so calm that he made people feel ruthless, and his heart was filled with dissatisfaction and anger. After all, the reason why Ye Qing was unwilling to help them and their son take revenge was because of his own rights and ambitions.

He looked at Ye Qing with some resentment for a moment. Li Shi'er seemed to have compromised and said, "If the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by you, how do you plan to treat us mother and son?"

"The murderer who killed Jing'er is not Wanyan Xun alone, and the Gaoli people are also one of the murderers. At that time, as long as you mother and son are willing, I, Ye Qing, are willing to help you mother and son avenge Jing'er to the Gaoli people..." Ye Qing looked at Li Shi'er's eyes and said firmly. But before he could finish speaking, Li Shi'er snorted coldly, and then suddenly turned around and left.

Looking at Li Shi'er's back as he turned around and left decisively, Ye Qing sighed slightly. It was not enough for him to believe that since he had already reached this point, Li Shi'er would take the initiative to negotiate with him. However, now, it is obvious that the Goryeo people he just mentioned have exceeded the scope of their planning, so Li Shi'er had to discuss countermeasures with Wanyan Chen and others.
