The Imperial Study Room is the most familiar place to Dongfang Ye in the entire palace. In the past ten years, whenever he returns to the capital, he will inevitably appear in the Imperial Study Room. Now he is familiar with the place even with his eyes closed.
The bright yellow figure was sitting in front of the desk. Dongfang Ye walked into the imperial study, and the study door was closed. The others were waiting outside the door from a distance. No one could hear what was said in the study.
"Ah Ye, you did a good job in scheming Chen Cang this time." Emperor Ling had always praised Dongfang Ye's methods, otherwise he wouldn't have relied on him more and more over the years.
"Your Majesty, you don't speak secretly in front of Mingren. If your Majesty hadn't detained Liu Yun, I wouldn't have been so impatient." Dongfang Ye has always been calm in doing things. He never does anything he is not sure about. He makes a decision before taking action.
His principle is, either don't do it, or do it and hit the target with one hit.
When he said this to his face, embarrassment flashed across Emperor Ling's face, but he forgot about this guy's temperament. Fortunately, he knew this guy's cold personality, otherwise which emperor could be spoken to like this by him?
"About Liuyun girl..." Emperor Ling paused deliberately. Seeing Dongfang Ye's doubtful gaze, he murmured and said, "You should know that I have never been a person who likes to leave threats."
Emperor Ling's words made Dongfang Ye frown.
The emperor clearly meant something in his words, but the meaning made Dongfang Ye's heart sink.
"Is the emperor talking about Ji family's secrets?" Dongfang Ye took the initiative to bring up the conversation. No matter whether such a thing was in Liu Yun's hands now, he had thought about it anyway. Denial was the only thing he could do, since Liu Yun didn't even mention it to him.
, then he believes that even if the secret is in her hands, she doesn't want anyone to know it.
This is also Dongfang Ye's attitude. No matter what the situation, he will always protect Liuyun.
"Ah Ye, do you remember Sima Xin?" Emperor Ling did not answer Dongfang Ye's question, but instead asked him an unrelated question.
This question made Dongfang Ye's complexion change slightly.
Who is Sima Xin? He was a general under Emperor Ling five years ago, but he fell in love with the daughter of the wise king of the fiefdom. The whole world knew that the wise king instigated rebellion. Sima Xin went to the wise king for this woman. Emperor
He was so angry that he overturned the lineage of the wise king in one fell swoop, and even the Sima family suffered disaster.
Emperor Ling was using this incident to warn him not to betray or lose his life for a woman.
"Does your Majesty still remember the last letter sent by Sima Xin?" Five years ago, Dongfang Ye had just lost his crown and was incomparable to Sima Xin, who was at the height of his power. At that time, Sima Xin was highly regarded by the emperor and had a large number of soldiers.
, it was such a person who betrayed the emperor for a woman in the end, but the letter he wrote before he left the mountain to commit suicide clearly stated that he had no regrets.
Some people know that they are doing something wrong, but they still do it without hesitation. Why? Because they understand that many things are helpless and go against their own hearts, so the success in this life will be nothing but pain.
For some people, glory, wealth, and power may be a lifelong pursuit, but for some people, it is not.
Sima Xin was extremely talented and had military power, but in his eyes, all of these were inferior to the smile of a woman. For that woman, he betrayed his trust and may be despised by others, but in his heart, he could not stand the woman he loved.
Feel a little wronged.
"Presumptuous." The emperor suddenly became angry, slammed the table, and stared at Dongfang Ye coldly.
After ten years of being together, Emperor Ling knew this boy's temperament. His allegiance was not to himself, but to the people of Ling Kingdom. Because of this, the relationship between the two could be like a teacher and a friend, because there would never be anything between them.
Conflict, in Emperor Ling's eyes, as long as he has no ambition, he is trustworthy.
Emperor Ling would not touch Liuyun, but that did not mean that he could tolerate the person he trusted most contradicting him for a woman. He was too accustomed to others' obedience and respect, and he could not accept Dongfang Ye's resistance.
"The emperor knows very well that a minor minister will not betray the emperor, nor will Liu Yun. The emperor does not need to worry unfounded." Dongfang Ye pursed his lips. It was not that they had never quarreled. In the past few years, they had also appeared in the handling of some matters.
Over disagreement.
If you want to ask who dares to knock the table with the emperor, it must be Dongfang Ye.
Despite his usually gentle and frail demeanor, if he really gets angry, he is not easy to deal with.
"Ah Ye, you have been with me for so many years, don't you understand my character? Liuyun... I will never stay." After saying this, Emperor Ling carefully observed Dongfang Ye's expression.
Speaking of which, the emperor was just testing Dongfang Ye. Who knew that this guy would be so stubborn and unreasonable? Even if he followed him nicely, he might not be able to do anything to Liu Yun. Who knew that this guy would be so tough and make the emperor so upset?
Not happy either.
After hearing the emperor's words, Dongfang Ye's tense expression relaxed slightly, and he said calmly: "If the emperor doesn't keep her, will he still be here and stare at me with his beard?"
"..." The originally tense atmosphere disappeared because of Dongfang Ye's careless words.
Otherwise, how could we say that Dongfang Ye knew the emperor? At first, he really thought that the emperor had murderous intentions towards Liu Yun, but now he no longer thinks so.
If the emperor wants to touch someone, does he still need Dongfang Ye's consent? Especially this one, it is obvious that she is the woman he wants to protect to the end.
"Where is she?" Dongfang Ye asked with raised eyebrows, the coldness in his tone disappeared and returned to his original indifference.
"Aye, I really won't touch Liuyun, because she is your beloved woman, and I won't risk losing one of my right and left hands by touching her." Emperor Ling straightened his face and said seriously, "But, you did just now
He has become hostile to me."
This simple sentence clearly expressed the emperor's dissatisfaction.
No one would allow his subordinates to be so presumptuous, especially if this person was the emperor.
"If someone wants to touch the emperor, the ministers will do the same." Dongfang Ye still knew how to deal with the emperor's occasional childish thoughts.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Emperor Ling's face became slightly better, and he looked away with a cold snort.
In fact, both of them were happy in their hearts. If Liuyun was not Liuyun but someone else, it might not be easy for Dongfang Ye to save him.
While the two were making a fuss, Luochen's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "The young lady has been poisoned and is in danger of miscarriage."
As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Ye's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he looked at Emperor Ling with disbelief in his eyes. He thought that with their relationship and the emperor's love for his talents, Liu Yun would never be touched.
, but I didn’t expect that he would actually take action.
"Ye..." Before Emperor Ling could finish his words, he saw Dongfang Ye rushing out, and his face darkened. However, this anger was not directed at Dongfang Ye, but at those who dared to stay in the palace. The person who poisoned him, and even went to his Qianling Palace, didn't this clearly mean that he wanted to throw dirty water on the emperor?
