When Yi Yunfei saw her anxious look, he could not help but laugh,""Miss Zhao is still in such a hurry to get straight to the point? Don't you understand the principle of gradual progress?”
Zhao Luyan snorted and said," This is the capital. My father has eyes everywhere. You should know how difficult it is for me to come out once. I don't have time to beat around the bush with you. I have to go back early. If my father finds out that I haven't returned home all night, we really won't have the chance to meet again."”
"In that case, I won't delay any longer and tell you the truth.”Seeing Zhao Luyan's expression, Yi Yun did not hide anything. He said directly," The deceased's name is Zhang Jian. He was the Sixth Prince's personal guard and was also one of the five people who escorted the Sixth Prince out of the capital twenty years ago.”
"Sixth Prince? Was it the sixth prince who fought with the current emperor for the throne twenty years ago?”Zhao Luyan asked doubtfully. It seemed that this matter was indeed related to him.
"Miss Zhao, you've heard of it too?" Yi Yun found it strange as well. How did Zhao Luyan know? Could it be that Zhao Shengming had told her?
Zhao Luyan nodded. However, I heard that the sixth prince didn't escape. Instead, he was caught and killed with a single slash. The people around him didn't survive either. Why did he suddenly…"
Yi Yunfei laughed out loud." Back then, the sixth prince's escape from the capital was arranged by the late emperor. If he was so easily discovered and killed, wouldn't it be a waste of the late emperor's good intentions?”
"So, that Sixth Prince has really escaped?”
"Not only that, but he has also lived peacefully in the human world for twenty years until now. Unfortunately, the five people who escorted him were not so lucky. Because their families were here, they had to return to the capital. I didn't expect to be captured by your father's men as soon as I came back. They tortured me to extort a confession, wanting to get the whereabouts of the sixth prince. However, they would rather die than obey. The result was obvious.”Yi Yun did not finish his sentence before he revealed a sigh." This Zhang Jian's martial arts are very strong. He killed the jailer and escaped from prison. He had hidden his identity in Linzhou and lived in peace for twenty years. He did not expect that he would still be found. The ending that awaited him was to kill everyone to silence them.”
After hearing this, Zhao Luyan was shocked. It was not because of these things, but because of the person in front of her-Yi Yunfei. How did he know so much? Looking at his age, he was only a child twenty years ago. It was impossible for him to have experienced all these things, but he knew it clearly. This person was definitely not ordinary. "Who are you? How do you know this? Are you also one of the Sixth Prince's men?”Zhao Luyan questioned as she looked into his eyes.
"I'm Yi Yunfei. My father, Yi Peng, is one of the five people escorting the Sixth Prince.”Yi Yun did not hide anything. He knew that if he told Zhao Luyan about it, she would definitely ask him about it. Therefore, he said it out loud.
"No wonder…Actually, when I first saw you, I felt that you weren't an ordinary scholar.”Zhao Luyan sneered and sized up Yi Yunfei again. She asked with a smile," If I'm not wrong, your father died at my father's hands at that time?”
"Miss Zhao is indeed very smart. Yes, my father died in Zhao Shengming's hands. It was twenty years ago when I was only nine years old.”As Yi Yun spoke, he sighed and stood up. He continued," When my father returned to the capital, he was discovered and captured. It was one of the Four Guardian Deities under your father's command. They tortured him to extort a confession, using both carrot and stick, but my father refused to say anything. As a result, he was beaten to death by them.”
"What about you? How did you escape?”Zhao Luyan asked," My father would definitely kill such people to silence them. How could he let a child like you escape?"”
"That's because my father sent someone to send my mother and I out of the capital in advance. That's why we were able to barely escape. However, the days to come will be very difficult. Since I can survive, I will definitely kill my enemies and avenge my father.”
"You?" Zhao Luyan smiled contemptuously." My father has so many people in his hands. Can you get close to him?”
"Miss Zhao, you've misunderstood me. I've never thought of killing Zhao Shengming myself. I'm not Huangfu Ye. I'm not as innocent as him because I know that I can't kill Zhao Shengming with my own abilities. I don't want to sacrifice my life for justice before achieving my goal.”Yi Yunfei shook his head and said with a smile," I originally wanted to enter the officialdom and win a term of fame. I wanted to fight with Zhao Shengming openly and secretly, causing him to suffer a crushing defeat and never recover. Unfortunately, the officialdom is dark and officials protect each other. I don't have any backing and can't enter the officialdom. Later on, when they met Liu Desheng and the others, they wanted to rely on them. They did not expect that not long after they entered, these people would be besieged by Zhao Shengming's men. Fortunately, I met Miss Zhao at this time, which saved us from our misery and gave me new hope.”
"Are you trying to use me to get revenge on Xihen? Do you think I can be used?”Zhao Luyan asked.
"No one wants to be used by others. I understand Miss Zhao's thoughts. But whether or not I'm using him, Miss Zhao's goal is the same as mine. We both want to ruin Zhao Shengming's reputation. Since that's the case, why don't we join hands and work together to achieve this goal?”
"I admit that you are right, but I am Zhao Shengming's daughter after all. You hate my father so much. If one day Zhao Shengming is finished and you turn back to take revenge on me and catch us all in one fell swoop, wouldn't I be unable to guard against it?”
"Miss Zhao, you are worrying too much. My only target is Zhao Shengming. I won't take my anger out on anyone else, especially Miss Zhao. I understand your father's hatred very well, and I sympathize with him. I'm willing to help Miss Zhao fulfill your wish. Not only will I get rid of Zhao Shengming, but I'll also let you get the position you want.”
When Zhao Luyan heard the title of "Empress", she was a little smug, but she quickly calmed down and asked,"If I get this position, what will you get? If I'm not wrong, you're definitely not just helping me to avenge my father.”
"Of course, a high position, a high salary, a title of king, and a title of prime minister are my second wishes.”
"I didn't expect Mister Yi to be so passionate about politics. I thought Mister Yi had already decided to give up after failing so many times and was no longer interested in these things.”
"Scholars have studied for half their lives. Who doesn't want to be successful and stand out? Otherwise, wouldn't they have let down the hard work of the first half of their lives? Ms. Jones can use this matter to get promoted. Can't you satisfy my small wish?”
"Alright, I promise you. If I can really reach the position I've always dreamed of, I won't let you down. At that time, my father's current position will be yours. You'll be below one person and above ten thousand people. How about it?”Zhao Luyan promised him. Only by agreeing to his request could Yi Yun do his best for him. However, Zhao Luyan had no intention of keeping him alive. After the matter was settled, the first person she would deal with was Yi Yunfei. It was not only because this person knew too much, but she could also tell that this person was not someone to be trifled with. He was extremely ambitious. Keeping him alive would definitely bring disaster. It was just that they needed him now, so they had no choice but to give him power.
"Thank you, Miss Zhao." Yi Yun expressed his thanks loudly before bowing gently. In fact, he could tell that Zhao Luyan's promise was not sincere. She had to agree because she wanted to use him.
However, he wasn't worried at all. Because he had Guan Feng and Huangfu Ye in his hands now, he was completely confident that he could threaten both Zhao Luyan and Consort Shu. It was killing two birds with one stone. He wasn't afraid at all. However, he had to send Guan Feng into the palace through Zhao Luyan so that the mother and son could meet. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhao Luyan say…
"Don't thank me yet. There's still one more thing that I need you to do for me right now. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy and uneasy.”
"What is it that is troubling Miss Zhao?”
"Do you still remember Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye?”Zhao Luyan asked. Without waiting for him to answer, she continued," After obtaining the Night-Luminescent Pearl, I was afraid that they would seek revenge, so I asked Ouyang Yuan to kill them. They did not expect Ouyang Yuan to listen to Fu Ruihai and let them go. Now that the two of them have arrived in the capital, they want to harm me. I hope that you can help me find them and then settle them personally without leaving any future troubles. I wonder if Mister Yi can do it?”
"How did Miss Zhao know that they came to the capital?”Yi Yunfei was shocked when he heard her words. He never expected Zhao Luyan to know everything in such a short period of time. How did she know? Huangfu Ye had always been by her side and had never left her side, so Zhao Luyan could not possibly have seen him. Liu Desheng and the others had never seen him before. What was going on? Seeing Zhao Luyan's expression, which did not seem to suspect him, Yi Yun was temporarily relieved and pretended not to know.
"Ouyang Yuan told me." Zhao Luyan sighed and replied," He regretted it. He regretted not listening to me and letting them go. That was why they had come back for revenge.”
"How did Ouyang Yuan know? Did he meet them?”
"Ouyang Yuan has met Shen Xiyin, but not Huangfu Ye." Zhao Luyan nodded. It was said that Shen Xiyin had come to find Huangfu Ye, but unfortunately, she had not found him yet. Ouyang Yuan saw Shen Xiyin at the He residence. It seemed that He Zhong wanted to protect Shen Xiyin. Ouyang Yuan didn't want Shen Xiyin to implicate He Zhong and He Yunxiu, so he told me and wanted me to get rid of Shen Xiyin.”
"I heard that Ouyang Yuan's martial arts are strong and not inferior to Fu Ruihai's. He could easily deal with Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye. Why did I suddenly think of asking you for help?”Yi Yun asked curiously.
"She doesn't want He Yunxiu and He Zhong to misunderstand." Zhao Luyan sneered. He Zhong was his teacher and also his savior. He Yunxiu also had a special relationship with him, so he tried to persuade them for a long time, but they didn't listen. If he did it himself, He Yunxiu and He Zhong would naturally not let him off after knowing, so he came to me. This way, if anything happens in the future and He Yunxiu thinks that I did it, she won't think of Ouyang Yuan.”
"It seems that Ouyang Yuan wants you to take the blame for him. I wonder what Miss Zhao plans to do?”Yi Yunfei continued asking.
"What do I plan to do? Do you think I can refuse?”Zhao Luyan said helplessly," When I heard that Huangfu Ye and Shen Xiyin were still alive and living in the capital, I couldn't sleep or eat in peace. If Father found out one day, I wouldn't be able to defend myself. Do you know that my father always thought that Huangfu Ye and Shen Xiyin were killed by Fu Ruihai? If he knew that they were still alive, he would definitely vent his anger on Fu Ruihai and might even kill him. You also know what Fu Ruihai means to me. He's my right-hand man and the person I love. I can't watch him die in front of me.”
"It seems that Miss Zhao is still unable to forget.”Yi Yunfei sighed," Do you know that if you continue to act on your emotions, it might lead to irreparable consequences in the future?”
