The reborn prince's wife

King Ling has always been resolute, and he soon learned everything from the assassins. These assassins are indeed King An's people, but they are not dead soldiers of King An, but they have been favored by King An before and then deceived by King An's people. , mistakenly thought that the emperor was afraid of King An's power and drove him to death. These assassins were under the banner of avenging King An, but they didn't know that they were just pawns.

Of course, King Ling is skeptical about such an explanation. As the saying goes, the one who knows a person best must be his enemy. King Ling and King An have been at odds for so many years, so he is very clear about his style. A strong general has no weak soldiers Well, King An never keeps the weak in his hands, so he doesn't know whether these assassins who claim to avenge King An are fooled.

But no matter what, this dumb one is afraid that King An can only swallow it. Anyway, he has already been charged with crimes, and he doesn't care about one more crime, let alone a crime of assassinating the emperor. This is a crime that can kill nine clans. However, After all, both he and the emperor have the surname of Qi. If the nine clans were killed, there would be no one in the royal family, but King An's family members might not be able to escape.

The emperor asked Dongfang Ye and others to stay in the palace so that they would not have to travel back and forth. Dongfang Ye was so old and pregnant that it was really inappropriate to go out of the palace at night, so he agreed to the suggestion of staying in the palace overnight.

The imperial palace is already huge, so naturally there is a place dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests, but Dongfang Ye did not live there, but lived in the Linhua Palace not far from the emperor's bedroom, this place is usually called Dongfang Ye. When Ye stayed in the palace, the place where he lived was secluded, far away from the sleeping quarters of the concubines in the harem, so it was not easy to meet anyone.

"Why does the emperor want us to stay overnight?" Liu Yun actually didn't quite understand the emperor's intentions, most of the people had already left the palace, but the emperor left them behind, not even the Marquis of the East, which really puzzled her .

Dongfang Ye smiled but said nothing. Seeing Liu Yun's confused face, he couldn't help pinching her face, and said: "Only when I'm not outside the palace, can the emperor's words reach some people's ears. , and the fact that I stayed in the palace further shows that the assassination incident tonight is very serious, so serious that I didn't even leave the palace, but had to discuss matters overnight."

"Are you still going to discuss matters at night?" Liu Yun frowned, she had always disliked Dongfang Ye's handling of official business at night, especially his poor health, always sleeping late at night would be extremely harmful to his health.

"It's just an illusion." It's okay if Dongfang Ye didn't say anything, but when he explained it like this, Liu Yun became even more confused.

Seeing her bewildered look, Dongfang Ye sighed, lowered his voice and said softly beside her: "There are five princes in the palace, the eldest prince is only 23 this year, and the youngest prince just turned seven years old this year. The princes and mothers are all of good status, but the emperor has not established a prince for a long time, do you know why?"

Liu Yun shook her head, she didn't know much about the court affairs, so she could only try to guess: "Because the emperor is not satisfied with them?"

Dongfang Ye smiled lightly, she was a smart girl, although she didn't know anything, she still made a rough guess.

"The first prince is very happy, the third prince is romantic, the fifth prince is cruel, the eighth prince is quiet and weak, and the thirteenth prince is only seven years old, but he is smart." Dongfang Ye briefly described the five princes, and Liu Yun frowned.

"Doesn't the emperor set up a prince?" Knowing the truth that walls have ears, and being in the palace, Liu Yun also lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that the emperor has other choices?"

After asking such a question, Liu Yun suddenly covered her mouth, and stared at Dongfang Ye in disbelief. She had a guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it for a while.

"He just didn't set them up." Dongfang Ye replied with raised eyebrows.

"Don't let them stand?" Liu Yun swallowed, could it be that she really guessed right that the emperor has other children? "

I always felt that Dongfang Ye would suddenly tell her this secret because of ulterior motives.

Dongfang Ye looked at her with a half-smile, and seeing her tangled expression, he rubbed the broken hair on his forehead, and said softly, "Okay, don't think about it, these things have nothing to do with you, you just need to stay here obediently." It's fine with me."

Such a tone again made Liuyun a little dissatisfied. She knew that she couldn't help, but she really wanted to enter his world and know what he was busy with on weekdays. She didn't want to interfere with him, but She simply wanted to know what her husband was doing.

Seeing the frustration in Liuyun's eyes, Dongfang Ye felt distressed, pulled her over and sat on his lap, and explained to her: "I don't trust you, we said long ago that there are no secrets between us. Yes. The reason why I didn't tell you who it is is because the more you know about some things, the more dangerous you will be. I don't want to worry about your safety all the time while handling official business in the capital.

"I will protect myself, don't worry." He hurriedly expressed his determination to Dongfang Ye, and Liu Yun swore firmly.

"The matter of King An has just ended, and there are still many aftermath matters to be dealt with. I promise you, we will return to Linyang City as soon as the matter here is over, okay? Give me some more time." Dongfang Ye was smart. He quickly changed the topic, and stopped talking to her about things that would make her unhappy.

"It's rare to come back. When your affairs are finished, accompany me back to Ji's house. My grandmother came to Linyang City once when my mother passed away, and I haven't seen her since then." Speaking of mother, Liuyun's Feeling slightly depressed, she suddenly thought of what Xia Shi had said to her, and was slightly taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Ye, who had been watching Liu Yun, naturally couldn't miss her expression.

Liu Yun bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and told Dongfang Ye what the Xia family had said: "I always feel that neither my mother nor Aunt Xia seem to want me to get in touch with the Ji family."

"I don't know the reason why your mother left the capital, but I can roughly guess some of it. If it were me, I would have managed to stay away from these disputes, and I probably wouldn't want you to be implicated in these things again. Yes." Dongfang Ye knew more than Liu Yun, but because he didn't find out many things, he could only answer her vaguely.

"Actually, I really want to go back to Ji's house to have a look, maybe I can find some truth." Liu Yun pursed her lips, she had a feeling that what Yuchen told her was incomplete, and she had the part about her mother. I always feel that there is still something missing. Maybe only when I return to Ji's house can I know everything.

Dongfang Ye nodded, maybe as Liu Yun said, only by going back to Ji's house can all the mysteries be resolved.

He can understand Liuyun very well. He also has a deep understanding of the thorn in his mother's death, which will always be in his heart, and can't be wiped away, just like his mother, who was born when he was born. A woman who died in childbirth.
