58. Hot(1/2)
The old lady's prestige was still there, so Aunt Du had no choice but to respond.
She really had a way, and not long after, Ye Bingshang and Tingting appeared at the door of Ye Mansion.
The officers and soldiers of Daxia did not dare to let the Ye family out, but no one dared to stop Ye Bingshang.
Ye Bingshang walked in dressed in plain clothes, bent her knees and saluted Mrs. Ye.
Her chin is pointed and has a bit of Xizi's delicate and frail look, which adds a bit of charm to her out of thin air. If you want to be pretty and filial, you are right.
The old lady looked at her coldly, without any warmth in her eyes.
"Everyone get out! Xiwu and Bingshang stay."
Aunt Du looked at her daughter worriedly, Ye Bingshang nodded, and then she carried the Fourth Young Master out.
The old lady closed her eyes: "Girl, I don't know when you got involved with His Majesty Tantai. Over the years, I have asked myself, and I have never treated you badly. You are a capable person, and I don't expect to take care of you in the future after you become a successful person.
Brothers and sisters, I only want one thing from you."
Ye Bingshang pursed her lips and straightened her back: "Grandma's words are serious."
"You can take care of Aunt Du and Xiaosi, and you don't need to say anything. The three girls are young and ignorant, and they have offended His Majesty Tantai. Liuzhou is a bitter and cold place, and the three girls are not even eighteen yet. Liuzhou has been ruined in the past and in this life."
"The old lady has a shy face. I hope you and His Majesty Zhou will beg for mercy and beg him to let the third girl go." The old lady said sadly, "It doesn't matter whether you let her marry a commoner or stay in Shangjing and be an ordinary person.
Let her go to Liuzhou."
What kind of place is Liuzhou? There are hungry people everywhere.
No food, no clothing, no warmth, and the most terrifying thing is that no one can predict what a flowery little girl will suffer in such a place.
Su Su had never thought that at this time, Mrs. Ye was still looking forward to protecting herself.
Her eyes were sour, and the hand holding hers looked like dried orange peel.
My grandmother is old, but she was once a fierce general. She probably has never bowed her head to beg anyone in her life, but now she is bowing her head to beg her granddaughter.
Ye Bingshang looked at the old lady, then at Su Su, and said calmly: "Bingshang will do her best."
The old lady nodded and actually stood up to salute her.
Susu pulled the old man back.
"Yugiri?"
Su Su said: "No, I will accompany my grandmother to Liuzhou. Big sister, I wish you a bright future and become a queen soon."
Su Su's eyes were clear and she glanced at Ye Bingshang. Ye Bingshang suddenly felt offended and displeased.
"Third sister, grandma is doing your best, but why are you still so ignorant..."
"I have always been so ignorant. If you really have the intention and the ability, please beg him to let grandma go. Grandma can't hold the sword and can't shake his empire."
Ye Bingshang remained silent.
Su Su stopped looking at her and said with a smile: "Let's go, grandma, Xiwu promises you that you will be willful for the last time in your life."
As they walked away, Ye Bingshang held on to the veil tightly.
At the end of January, Ye Bingshang was named Princess Zhaohua and went to the Kingdom of Zhou to make peace with her.
A few days later, the Ye family was exiled.
The men and women were separated and sent to Liuzhou.
On the day Su Su left, many people came to see them off. All the people of Daxia know what kind of heroes the Ye family has produced.
However, they could only look at them with sad eyes.
The decline of the Ye family prevented the war from spreading to the capital. Since then, the Xia Kingdom has become a vassal state of the Zhou Kingdom. The myth of General Ye no longer exists.
Everyone in the Ye family was shackled on their hands and feet.
Aunt Lian looked haggard. The moment her son died in the battle, this woman seemed to have been drained of all her energy and became a walking corpse.
Su Su looked around and saw several little girls she didn't recognize. The youngest was only five or six years old and was crying in her mother's arms.
Even the side branches were affected.
There was no Aunt Yun in the crowd. She was picked up by Ye Bingshang and taken to Zhou State together. I don't know whether Ye Bingshang didn't try or was rejected. Mrs. Ye was not pardoned.
After leaving Shangjing, the officers and soldiers pushed the women roughly: "Quickly go, why are you dawdling!"
Some are used to being domineering and want to whip people out.
The officers and soldiers next to him advised: "How many people did General Ye protect? Think of your mother!"
The man was stunned for a moment, but didn't urge him any further.
The old lady was in poor health and fell down not long after leaving. Su Su caught her and carried the old man on her back without saying a word.
She was carrying a sword, and the officers and soldiers wanted to take it away, but then someone said, "Forget it, she is the only direct descendant of the Ye family, and I don't know how long she can live in Liuzhou."
Su Su looked at the gray sky, heard the sound of shackles in her ears, and for the first time felt the desolation of the changing dynasties in the world.
Magatama looked at her worriedly. Things have turned so bad. Will there really be a turn for the better?
The surrender documents were sent to Zhou State together with Ye Bingshang.
On the day Ye Bingshang arrived in the Kingdom of Zhou, she was dressed up in a fancy dress. The grandmother who accompanied her said flatteringly: "The girl looks really rich in this outfit. Everyone knows that His Majesty the Kingdom of Zhou has no one in his harem. The girl will definitely be honored and favored if she goes there."
Ye Bingshang said softly: "Don't say that."
"It's just that the girl can't wear the unlucky clothes she wore before. It won't be good if Your Majesty sees you angry." After all, Ye Bingshang has been married before, and her ex-husband was the world-renowned Prince Xuan. It is unlucky to wear those clothes.
His Majesty's temperament is inherently unpredictable, and it is best for Ye Bingshang to hide his past.
Ye Bingshang nodded: "I understand."
There was a bit of melancholy in her eyebrows, which made people pity her. Grandma thought that she was also a poor person.
Ye Bingshang went to the Zhou Kingdom with hundreds of stones, jewels and jades, saying that they were dowry for Ye Bingshang. In fact, everyone knew that these were the property sent by surrender.
On the day she arrived at the Zhou Palace, Ye Bingshang opened the sedan curtain and saw the young man in black clothes on the carriage.
He wore a golden jade crown on his head and a black dragon robe with silver threads outlining the robe, giving him a somewhat arrogant look.
Tantai Jin looked at her, and Ye Bingshang followed everyone and saluted him.
Ye Bingshang felt a little nervous. The seeds of kindness she planted when she was young took root, sprouted, and blossomed. Tantai Jin was not her first choice, but he became the winner in the end and stood at the highest place.
I don’t know if this emperor with a bad reputation will cherish and protect her like Xiao Lin.
Tantai Jin stepped out of the carriage and helped her up personally.
Ye Bingshang was flattered and looked up, seeing a face that was so handsome that it could be called stunning. Only then did she realize that this young and cruel emperor was born so well.
Feeling his cold palm, Ye Bingshang's heart was beating loudly: "Your Majesty, I am so bold that I beg your Majesty to forgive my mother."
Tantai Jin helped her up and said with a smile, "As long as Chang'er is happy."
Ye Bingshang didn't expect that he would be so cheerful and easy to talk to, and was a little surprised for a moment.
Just as she was about to figure out his attitude, Tantai Jin had already retracted his hand and said in a gentle tone: "Welcome the Princess to the Jade Palace."
As soon as these words came out, Yangji immediately winked at Nian Baiyu.
Nian Baiyu's expression did not change.
Before Ye Bingshang came, they made a bet on whether His Majesty would be happy with this "promising princess". At the Yangji gambling meeting, Nian Baiyu said no.
Jade Palace was the place where the imperial concubine used to live, which meant infinite honor and favor. Tantai Jin personally came to pick her up and placed her there, which showed how much he valued Ye Bingshang.
Yangji thought happily that after tonight, there will be an additional concubine in the palace.
Late at night, the eunuch outside came over and asked Tantai Jin where to rest tonight.
"Princess Zhaohua" is here, and the young and vigorous emperor naturally has a place to go.
Even Tantai Jin himself thought so.
He had been looking forward to this moment for many years.
His unhappiness when Ye Bingshang got married has all turned into smoke now.
When he was young, the beautiful woman who lifted him up with a smile, applied medicine to him, and quietly prayed for the peace charm for him is still fresh in his memory.
He was born with difficulty in empathy and had never felt kindness towards others, but that was the first time he felt the feeling of heartbeat. He stared at her blankly, unable to look away.
Now people are not far away, he can reach it with his hand, and he can even do anything.
He took a few steps and felt a terrible irritability in his heart.
He took out the Soul-Eating Banner and released the old Taoist in the Soul-Eating Banner.
The old Taoist was now scared to death of him and asked tremblingly: "What's the matter with your majesty?"
Tantai Jin said coldly: "You once drew a teleportation array for Tantai Minglang."
Old man: "Yes, yes..."
"Get one for me."
The old Taoist said: "But the painting formation requires a lot of His Majesty's blood, and His Majesty's body is noble..."
