Hong Xuan was the first to stand up, with shock written all over his face.
An Xin and Dai Li also looked stunned.
What is going on?
They were just discussing in front of the sand table how to set up the situation tomorrow and how to lure the king into the urn, but the real master came directly to the door of the house?
"How many people did she bring?"
Ye Cheng's voice was still steady, but his fingers began to tap on the table unconsciously.
"Just...she and Yang Ding, not even an extra bodyguard."
h The soldier stammered in reply.
Hairing this answer, An Xin's eyes burst out with frightening murderous intent.
How courageous!
She is here to seek death on her own! Brother-in-law, I'm going to go right now and twist off her head! ”
Hence said, a green light flashed on her body, and she was about to take action.
"Wait!" Dai Li held her down, "King Green Snake, don't be impulsive! There's a scam!"
"What's the scam? There are only two of her, and we have so many masters here, it's easy to kill her!" An Xin said angrily.
"That's why it's even more suspicious!" Dai Li said solemnly.
"She is not a fool. If she dares to come like this, she must have something to rely on.
In other words, she just calculated that we dare not kill her at this moment in the house!"
Kong Xuan also reacted and looked at Ye Cheng hurriedly: "General, King Dai Li is right.
She is now the envoy of the Puppet Zhou Envoy, and she came here in the name of seeking advice.
If we assassinate her in the palace and spread the word, we Dayan will become a treacherous villain, and all the previous advantages in public opinion will be lost!
This woman has such a vicious mind! "
Ye Cheng didn't say anything. He stood up, walked to the window, and looked straight out the window, as if he could see the silent figure outside the house.
An Qing, broke the script for her.
This move was completely beyond his expectation.
Is it a temptation? Or a new trap?
Or, is she really that naive, thinking that visiting late at night can impress her?
No, it’s impossible.
Those who can come up with such a vicious plan like a personal visit from the emperor are definitely not naive.
Every step she takes, she steps on the weakness of people's hearts.
She knew that he, Ye Cheng, valued reputation and the justice of the world.
Hence, he will not, and cannot, kill her at this moment.
"General, what should we do? Otherwise, my subordinates will lead people to expel her?" Kong Xuan asked for instructions.
Ye Cheng shook his head slowly.
Deportation? That's even worse.
An empress who was freed from possession and changed her past completely came to visit late at night, but was turned away by Dayan's general and violently expelled.
What will the uninformed people think if this word is spread tomorrow? They will only think that Ye Cheng is narrow-minded and unforgiving.
“No need.” Ye Cheng finally spoke.
He turned around, sat back down and picked up the cup of tea that was already a little cold.
ˆ "Kong Xuan."
「就说，我今日乏了。有事明日广场再叙吧。」
这话一出，安欣等人都愣住了。
Me?
Not this general, nor Ye, but the most ordinary me?
This is one. A clear rejection, a gesture of indifference that does not acknowledge any identity in the other person.
A down-and-out empress came to visit a general with a heavy army late at night, but was dismissed by saying, "I'm tired."
Whose face will this slap in the face if word spreads?
An Xin instantly understood Ye Cheng's intention, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
That’s right, you can’t kill or drive away.
Then leave her alone and ignore her.
Use the most arrogant attitude to respond to her carefully designed performance!
"Yes! I understand!" Kong Xuan accepted the order, turned around and left quickly.
Outside the Sheriff's Mansion.
"An Qing" and Yang Ding stood quietly in front of the vermilion door.
Yang Ding was in a state of confusion. He still can't understand why His Majesty would take such a dangerous move.
What’s the difference between this and sending yourself to death? If Ye Cheng turns against him, neither of them will be able to leave here today.
"Your Majesty, let's... go back? General Ye may really not see you." Yang Ding persuaded in a low voice.
"An Qing" played by Ying Yue did not answer, but just looked at the closed door quietly, with a persistence in her eyes that outsiders could not understand.
She is gambling.
Hands on how much affection Ye Cheng still has for the past "An Qing", or in other words, how much guilt he still has.
As long as he still regards himself as the little sister who needs his protection, then he will not be too ruthless towards himself.
The door opened a crack from the inside.
Hong Xuan's tall figure appeared behind the door. He looked at the two people outside the door expressionlessly, his eyes as sharp as knives.
Yang Ding's heart trembled when he saw him, and he subconsciously took a step forward to block "An Qing".
"Peacock King, I'm waiting to bother you late at night just because..."
"No need to say it." Kong Xuan interrupted him coldly,
"My general said that he is tired today.
You two, please go back. If you have any questions, we will discuss it in the city square at noon tomorrow."
After saying that, he was about to close the door.
"Wait!"
"An Qing" spoke, not loudly, but it made Kong Xuan stop.
She walked out from behind Yang Ding and looked up at Kong Xuan. There was no anger at being rejected on her face, but instead an expected sense of loss and bitterness.
"Peacock King, please convey a message to brother Ye Cheng for me."
Hong Xuan frowned and remained silent.
"Just say... I was abrupt."
Her voice was very soft, with a hint of trembling, "He is still angry with me, which is right. After all, I have done so many irreparable wrong things."
She took a deep breath and bowed to the door of the Sheriff's Mansion.
「请转告他，明日午时，安晴，一定准时到场。
给天下人一个交代，也给他一个交代。」
After saying that, she stopped staying and turned around to leave.
That back figure looked particularly thin and desolate under the cold moonlight, as if carrying endless sadness and regret.
Yang Ding was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He quickly followed, shouting, "Your Majesty, please slow down..."
Kong Xuan stood behind the door, his face gloomy enough to drip.
Awesome!
It’s really amazing!
This performance is watertight! The image of a poor empress who regretted her mistakes but was rejected was vividly interpreted.
He could even imagine how the people in Wancheng who had sympathy for her would arrange General Ye after tonight.
"The general is so unkind."
h "The empress has even come to apologize in person, what else do you want?"
h "It's just that you have to show mercy to others."
h He can even hear these words...
h Terrible woman! She didn't come here to ask for a meeting at all, she just came to act!
Perform it for the eyes hidden in the dark, perform it for the people in the whole city!
Hong Xuan did not dare to delay, so he immediately returned to the inner hall and reported everything that had just happened to Ye Cheng word for word.
An Xin punched the table, causing the tea cup to jump.
"She's acting again! She's acting again!
Brother-in-law, have you seen it? This woman is always calculating people's hearts! "
