056. Is this request too much?(1/3)
"If you go back to the emperor, I don't dare." Ye Ling bent her knees and knelt down in front of Emperor Chu.
Emperor Chu's face darkened, and he looked at Ye Ling's eyes and was very disappointed: "I thought you were different, but it turned out that I had read it wrong."
Ye Ling was silent, and Emperor Chu snorted coldly: "Get up! You are Ye Sheng's daughter and Yun Yao's widow. For the sake of the two of them, I will not make things difficult for you. Since you choose the former, go back and prepare. Someone will go to the King's Mansion tonight and become your substitute. I will send someone to send you to a place where no one knows!"
After Emperor Chu finished speaking, Ye Ling did not rise.
"Your Majesty, I dare not, because I am not alone." Ye Ling spoke, his voice calm.
A strange color flashed in Emperor Chu's eyes: "What do you mean? Explain it clearly!"
"My parents died, the King of War died, and the three brothers and sisters were born. I believe the emperor knew what life they were going to live," said Ye Ling.
Of course, Emperor Chu knew that although the three of them were orphans of Ye Sheng, with the care of uncles, Emperor Chu could not interfere in the family affairs of the Ye family.
"Now, my sister and brother have followed me to the Zhanwang Mansion, and my sister's children. The family has only been reunited for a short time. I will be alive. If I die, they will be under someone else's roof. If no one takes care of me in the future, I don't know what I will be bullied." Ye Ling said in a deep voice.
Emperor Chu's expression slightly cleared: "You just care about your siblings, so you dare not give it a try?" Ye Ying gave birth to a child without marriage, and Ye Jing was only in his early 10 years old this year. What Ye Ling said was not an unfair worry.
Ye Ling nodded: "Yes. If I were alone, I should inherit the will of my father and the King of War, repel the Beihu, defend my country, and live up to the name of the Ye family and the Princess!"
"Okay!" Emperor Chu showed joy when he heard this, "I didn't see anyone wrong! He is bloody and has feelings. You look very much like your father now!"
Emperor Chu understood that Ye Ling wanted a guarantee. If she failed and couldn't come back, her sister and brother would not be bullied.
This is human nature, and the Emperor Chu saw Ye Ling's weakness. He would only feel more at ease when he used Ye Ling next.
"Thank you for understanding, the emperor." Ye Ling said.
"What do you want to ask for for your sister and brother?" Emperor Chu asked. When it comes to this, verbal promises are meaningless and cannot be saved by Ye Ling.
"Press my third uncle." Ye Ling replied so bluntly, not concealing the relationship between their siblings and Ye Xun.
The Emperor Chu smiled and said, "You are honest. Your third uncle is a loyal and brave man, but your younger brother is young and cannot bear the title of Duke. Are you satisfied with me to confer him the king of another surname?"
"Thank you for your kindness!" Ye Ling kowtowed and thanked him.
Taking Ye Sheng's sword, Ye Ling walked out of the imperial study alone.
The snow stopped early in the morning, and then snowflakes floated again, falling on Ye Ling's face, cold and cold. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward with big strolls.
Before leaving the palace, Ye Ling "accidentally met" the third princess Chu Lingyun.
When Chu Lingyun saw Ye Ling, she laughed without hiding her gloating: "Ye Ling, aren't you very arrogant? How about you now? Princess Zhan? Haha, you Princess Zhan is just a joke! I heard that the men in Beihu are vulgar and barbaric, and you are so beautiful, you will inevitably be insulted by others. No matter what, you are the wife of King Zhan in name. In order not to be ashamed, I kindly give you a piece of advice, and come to the hands of the people of Beihu to show your ambitions and leave some dignity for yourself!"
Chu Lingyun's maids were waiting three meters away. She held an exquisite umbrella, and her white skirt was covered with an luxurious silver fox cloak, looking high.
Ye Ling suddenly approached, Chu Lingyun was startled, and the umbrella in her hand fell to the ground. Ye Ling reached out and grabbed her collar and said in her ear: "Anyway, I will die. I will do anything to you now, and the emperor will not care about me. Why don't I use a knife and draw a turtle on your beautiful face, what do you think?"
Ye Ling said, her fingers gently slid across Chu Lingyun's cheek.
Chu Lingyun was creepy, her body trembled, she pushed Ye Ling away vigorously, staggered back, and fell to the ground: "Dare you dare?!"
Ye Ling picked up Chu Lingyun's umbrella, covered herself with wind and snow, and chuckled: "Just just kidding. Take care of the third princess, we will have a date later."
Ye Ling finished speaking, bypassed Chu Lingyun and continued to walk towards the palace gate.
Chu Lingyun pushed away the maid who was supporting her, and looked at Ye Ling's back as she left gracefully, and was very angry.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Ye Ling pulled out the broken-looking sword, his eyes lit up slightly.
The scabbard has scratches and cracks, but the sword itself is simple and unpretentious, with dark light hidden, and is definitely extraordinary.
This is a heavy sword, very heavy, but Ye Ling likes it very much. At the junction of the sword hilt and the sword body, two small characters "Tianxie" are engraved.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Zhanwang Mansion. Ye Ling got out of the car, held a sword in one hand and Chu Lingyun's umbrella in the other, and entered the mansion.
Halfway through the way, I saw Yun Xiu appearing not far away.
Ye Ling approached, passed by Yun Xiu, and walked straight forward, with a look of no tribute.
"Ye Ling!" Yun Xiu frowned.
Ye Ling ignored him, Yun Xiu called out again: "Sister-in-law!"
Ye Ling stopped and turned around: "Uncle, what's the point of doing?"
"I..." Yun Xiu looked at Ye Ling's quiet eyes, and the words to his mouth became, "What did the emperor ask you to go to the palace for?"
"You will know." Ye Ling threw down a sentence, and in the blink of an eye, he had already walked a long way.
Yun Xiu's face darkened and he went to Xue's yard.
Ye Ying and Ye Jing both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ye Ling return safely. Ye Jing also asked Ye Ling where the umbrella came from.
"The third princess is robbing him." Ye Ling said with a smile.
Ye Ling's clothes were a little wet, and Ye Ying asked her to change her clothes and then come over to speak.
After Ye Ling changed her clothes, the imperial edict arrived at the Zhanwang Mansion. The housekeeper hurriedly came and said that the people from the palace asked the three siblings to go to the front hall to receive the edict immediately.
"What's going on?" Ye Ying asked Ye Ling.
"Good thing." Ye Ling smiled.
Ye Chen was in Jixueyuan, with two maids accompanying him.
The three siblings rushed to the front hall of the Zhanwang Mansion, and Yun Xiu helped Xue and just arrived.
Xue frowned and glanced at Ye Ling. Seeing her expression as usual, her heart was slightly relieved.
They all knelt down and listened to the imperial edict.
The old eunuch on rice paper dragged the long tail tone and finished reciting the imperial edict. He closed it, looked at Ye Jing who was stunned and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the little prince, please accept the imperial edict!"
No one except Ye Ling expected that this imperial edict was given to Ye Jing! He suddenly became the second king of the Southern Chu, with the title of Jing.
Jing means peace and peace. It is very suitable, Ye Ling likes it.
"Prince Jing?" the old eunuch called out again.
Ye Ling pinched Ye Jing for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. He lowered his head and raised his hands: "I... Ye Jing received the order and thanked Lord for his kindness!"
The people in the palace left, and Ye Jing stood up stupidly with the imperial edict: "Second sister, this... I'm not dreaming, right?" He was named king? Why? Why? What is his virtue?
"Ye Ling, what's going on?" Xue felt something was wrong.
At this moment, Yun Xiu's follower hurriedly entered the front hall and said a few words in his ear.
Yun Xiu's expression changed drastically. When he turned around, he saw Ye Ling rubbing Ye Jing's face with a smile, looking heartless.
"Ye Ling!" Yun Xiu raised his voice and stared at Ye Ling tightly, "You used your own life to exchange your brother for a prince. Are you brain-related illness?"
After Yun Xiu finished speaking, the imperial edict in Ye Jing's hand fell to the ground! He looked at Ye Ling in disbelief: "Second sister, what are Brother Yun talking about? What's your life?"
Xue frowned: "Xu'er, what's going on?"
"She!" Yun Xiu pointed at Ye Ling with an angry look on his face, "Bei Hu invaded and asked Nan Chu to hand over the murderer who killed Wanyan Jing, and the emperor summoned her into the palace! The emperor said he wanted to hand her over to Bei Hu, but she admitted it without saying a word! He went to take her father's belongings, and did not seek survival for herself, but asked her brother for a king!"
When Xue heard this, her face darkened: "Ye Ling, is what Xiu'er said true?"
Ye Ling looked calm and leaned over to pick up the imperial edict on the ground: "It's true. Mother, uncle, the matter has been settled. Thank you for your concern, but you don't have to do anything for me anymore."
Ye Jing's eyes turned red, he snatched the imperial edict, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it hard: "I don't want it! I don't want to be the prince of Luosi! I just want my second sister to be alive! I'll beg the emperor to take back his life!"
Ye Jing rushed out after he finished speaking!
Ye Ling flew up, blocked Ye Jing, twisted his ears, and said in his ear: "Silly boy, are you stupid? Are you a fool? Are you that kind of person? "
Ye Jing looked at Ye Ling with tears in his eyes: "Second sister, I don't want you to die..."
"What's the matter of not being alive? Let's talk about it when you go back!" Ye Ling pinched Ye Jing's neck, stood in the snow, looked at Xue and Yun Xiu and said, "Things are unchanged, I agree." After saying that, he called Ye Ying, "Sister, go back."
Ye Ying picked up the imperial edict on the ground again. Seeing Ye Ling pulling Ye Jing away, she followed behind silently and returned to Lingyun Courtyard together.
"I'll ask the emperor to take back his life!" Yun Xiu clenched his fist and was about to rush out.
"Stop!" Xue shouted coldly.
"Mom! Are we watching her die?" Yun Xiu's eyes turned red.
"Xu'er, have you always hated Ye Ling? Why is it like this now?" Xue frowned.
Yun Xiu's expression froze: "She is my sister-in-law! My eldest brother is gone, we should protect her! And Uncle Ye has great kindness to the Yun family. Mom, you have told her to protect her!"
"I said that, but there are some things that we have limited ability and cannot control!" Xue said coldly, "Since this is her choice, let her go! You are not allowed to leave the palace today, let alone enter the palace!"
"Mom!" Yun Xiu looked at Xue in disbelief, "Why are you so cold-blooded?"
"Xu'er, you should be more awake." Xue's words turned around and left. She didn't believe that Ye Ling would accept her fate and die. These are just superficial things.
Yun Xiu clenched his fist, smashed the pillar in the front hall hatefully, and ran into the wind and snow.
Lingyunyuan.
There was an imperial edict on the table, and the three siblings sat down, and the atmosphere was gloomy.
"Sister, my brother, what I want to say next is a top secret. I should have hidden it from you, but I don't want you to worry." Ye Ling spoke, and told Ye Ying and Ye Jing about everything that happened after she entered the palace.
"That's it. On the surface, I was given to Beihu, but in fact I took on a secret mission given by the emperor. By the way, I also asked for benefits. I was granted the title of king and rewarded the mansion. When I come back, we will move to Prince Jing's Mansion together, and you will be more comfortable." Ye Ling smiled slightly.
"Second sister, the emperor asked you to assassinate the Northern Hu general, but did not provide you with any help. It was too dangerous!" Ye Jing's little face was full of worry.
Ye Ling smiled: "Can you have confidence in me? I am good at killing people." She did this business in her previous life. When she came to this world and accepted such a task for the first time, she was not afraid at all, and she even had some expectations.
