An arrow shot out from the fire and landed directly on a tree next to where Sima Xichen was standing. There was a roar. At the same time, the explosion of Prince Ye's Mansion was heard, and everyone was stunned.
In the local area, they watched blankly as the Prince Ye's Mansion in front of them quickly turned into ruins before their eyes.
Sima Xichen immediately took off the arrow stuck in the tree. There was a letter on the arrow, the handwriting was familiar to him, "Old grudges cause worries, why should I meet you if we have a shallow relationship? After all, the past is empty, and then we will know God's will."
Also ruthless.”
"Xichen——" Mo Ziyi came over, "Where's Miss Ye? Didn't she escape?"
Sima Xichen frowned, turned to look at Mo Ziyi, and asked coldly: "Did you ask He Xingbin to inform the emperor to order the burning of Prince Ye's Mansion again?"
"Miss—" Xiaolian shouted in panic, "There is gunpowder in the house. The fire must have ignited the gunpowder. How is my lady? How is she?"
"She must have refused to come out on purpose." Shang Xiuli said softly, "Who sent the letter?"
"Why doesn't she come out?" Jiao He asked puzzledly, "The young master has explained some of what happened to her. She has promised not to care about it anymore, and also offered to help the young master. Didn't she rush out? Let's go in.
Let’s look for it.”
"The Ye family owes our lord, even if they repay their lives." Mo Ziyi said coldly, "Yes, it is indeed me who notified He Xingbin and asked him to force the emperor to order the burning of Prince Ye's Mansion again. With the young master's martial arts, it is natural
We can escape, but Ye Fan, a weak woman, may only die, so we can use this to our advantage and rise up."
Sima Xichen said coldly: "You are getting more and more capable. When will it be up to you to make the decision?"
"Young Master, I am doing this for your own good." Mo Ziyi said in a deep voice, "You were not like this before. Ever since you met Ye Fan, you have become a little hesitant, especially when you meet people related to Ye Fan.
When something happens, we always avoid it and choose other methods to delay the matter again and again and make us passive. This time, I am guilty. I admit it. I can't let the master's wish be compromised because of your temporary softness.
Burial!"
"Yes, Xichen." Shang Xiuli walked to Sima Xichen and said softly, "Mrs. Du is also kind-hearted. Besides, we have spared Miss Ye's parents, given them medicine, and secretly took them away.
After leaving Prince Ye's Mansion, now that we have gone to a safe place, the old affairs between the two families can be considered settled."
Sima Xichen jumped up and jumped into the sea of fire. Everyone's surprised voices were choked in their throats and they could not shout.
Shang Xiuli stood stunned. Is Ye Fan really so important in Sima Xichen's heart? Is she not just a small pawn in their plan? Will Sima Xichen, who has always been indifferent, be tempted by her?
She didn't move. With Sima Xichen's martial arts, the sea of fire couldn't hurt him at all.
"Brother Xichen!" Du Ruoxin, who had just arrived, shouted miserably, and tears immediately fell down, "You, what are you going to do!?"
"Xin'er." Mo Ziyi supported her daughter, looked at the sea of fire, frowned, and said softly, "Let him go and see it, so that he can give up, let go of his love for children, and devote himself to
Only then can I devote myself to the cause of establishing the Daxing Dynasty, and only then can I only love you. This Ye Fan, living is not a good thing for you or him! "
"Mother." Du Ruoxin looked at Mo Ziyi sadly and said sadly, "I don't want brother Xichen to hate me for the rest of his life. Why do you have to do this?"
"This is a last resort." Mo Ziyi sighed and said, "Don't worry, Xichen will be fine. With his martial arts, even if he falls into the sea of fire, he will not be hurt at all. However, Mark
Without such good luck, I am afraid that he has already gone under Jiuquan. This is the only way to make Xichen give up. My mother is a person who has been here and knows that Xichen has been attracted to Ye Fan from the beginning.
When it comes to Ye Fan and Xichen, he can't bear to take advantage of her."
"Mother, my daughter can allow her to exist." Du Ruoxin said sadly, "My daughter knows that Brother Xichen is attracted to Miss Ye. Besides, if Brother Xichen wins the country, it is inevitable that he will have three wives and four concubines. Even if Miss Ye is here, he will have three wives and four concubines.
What’s not allowed?”
"She may not be willing to tolerate you." Mo Ziyi sighed softly, "Xin'er, mother is doing this for your own good. Ever since this Ye Fan appeared, Xichen has never paid attention to your existence. If this continues, I'm afraid
If it’s Xichen, he will forget about the hatred between family and country, and really fall in love with Ye Fan. By then, there will be no room for any outsider between them."
"Brother Xichen is good to Miss Ye just to complete his revenge plan. You also know this." Du Ruoxin said softly, "Besides, he didn't do anything to Miss Ye? Didn't Xuelian also say that they didn't do anything to her?
There is no consummation."
Mo Ziyi looked at her daughter, sighed softly, and said nothing.
A heavy rain suddenly fell after the fire burned for half an hour, and slowly extinguished the fire. The entire Prince Ye's Mansion had become a pile of ruins, with broken walls and a desolate look.
Sima Xichen stood on the ruins. His white clothes were stained with ashes and his hair was a little messy, but he still looked free and easy, but his expression became lonely. At this time, nothing could be found in Prince Ye's Mansion.
There were stacks of broken stones and bricks, and it was impossible to find Ye Fan's body.
"Young Master." Xue Lian rushed to Sima Xichen's side and said softly, "Are you okay?"
Sima Xichen didn't say anything for a long time. His face was very tired and his expression was exhausted. He looked at the distant front for a long time before he said calmly: "Tell them that everything will go according to the original plan."
"Yes." Xue Lian bowed respectfully.
Wu Huai stood in the distance, looking at Sima Xichen standing among the ruins, and felt a little sad in his heart. He was afraid that this girl Ye would be the pain for the young man in front of him throughout his life.
Sima Xichen stood quietly, looking at the ruins in front of him. Suddenly, the scene when he and Ye Fan met for the first time appeared in front of him. In the restaurant, Ye Fan said with a shy and angry look: Don't worry, all men in the world will die.
Absolutely, I wouldn’t even think of placing my hopes on you!
Suddenly my heart was full of sorrow and I murmured: Fan'er, Xichen owes you my whole life.
From then on, Sima Xichen personally led the army to fight, fighting everywhere, being calm and restrained, not close to women, with only He Ming as an entourage and Jiao He as a slave.
Four years later, the country that Li Qiang had taken away from Sima Rongyin finally returned to the hands of Sima Rongyin's son Sima Xichen. The Daxing Dynasty was established, and Sima Xichen ascended the throne and became the first emperor of the Daxing Dynasty. He was only 27 years old.
