    Bearing Ye Jianxin's gaze, Murong Yi felt uneasy.  He gritted his teeth and bowed again: "I am really sincere, I hope you can agree."

    Ye Jianxin nodded indifferently, got up and walked back and forth in the room, finally stopping in front of the window.  Outside the window, there is a large swath of newly sprouted woods, showing a deep gray color.

    The spring breeze in March blew through the window, bringing with it a bit of chill.

    Looking at Ye Jianxin's upright back, Murong Yi was trembling because of nervousness. His mouth was dry and a chill spread throughout his body.

    "It is truly an honor for my little girl, Pu Liu, to be appreciated by His Highness for her beauty. It is also an honor for my family, Ye Mansion."

    From the window, Ye Jianxin turned around, his expression was very serious, Murong Yi felt chilled in his heart: "But, Your Highness, you should also know that Ye has made an agreement with His Majesty, and the daughter is to be betrothed.  Your brother, His Highness Nan. Ye has always had a good reputation and never regrets what he has said. You spoke so suddenly, which makes Ye very embarrassed."

    Murong Yi said sincerely: "My father-in-law made a huge promise, and it is known to the whole world. But whether Miss Zijun marries me or my third brother, she is marrying into our Murong family. This does not mean that you have gone back on the engagement, and it does not damage your reputation at all."  No damage.¡±

    "The prince is right. Whether my daughter marries you or His Highness, it is a marriage between our Ye family and the royal family. In this case, His Majesty and I have already made an agreement, so why change it?"

    Murong Yi took a deep breath. He knew that now was the key to whether he could convince Ye Jianxin.

    "My lord. My lord, Miss Zijun is of noble character, gentle, virtuous and virtuous. My lord, you have high expectations for her, and I feel it. Only a queen whose mother treats the world well can match Miss Ye's virtuous character. May God bless my father."  The emperor will live long, but the father will be a hundred years away. Gu is the crown prince, and will be the one to inherit the great cause of the father in the future. Only by marrying Gu can Miss Zijun be fully prosperous."

    Ye Jian said calmly: "His Royal Highness is very confident, but there are some things It does not mean that you will be able to do it if you are confident.

    Recently, Ye heard some rumors and heard that His Majesty was quite critical of His Highness the Crown Prince.  .  .  Of course, Ye is not sure whether this is true or not. It may be groundless.  "

    Murong Yi laughed heartily and said twice: "As the ancients said, rumors only stop at the wise. I didn't expect that a great senior like the father-in-law would be confused by rumors.

    ???????????????????????????? Yes, there are some government affairs matters that I have not handled properly these days, and my father is indeed a little unhappy, but this is just a small detail.  My father is wise and wise, how could he easily sway the East Palace over trivial matters?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The position of prince is not only about power.  It is also a responsibility.  I served in the army in the frontier, fought in battles, and practiced in the central government for many years. However, since I became the prince, I still feel that my talents are insufficient and difficult to support. Sir, please think about it. The third brother has been in the palace all the time, working with the woman.  He is a companion, and he has never gone out to experience, and has no knowledge of the dangers in the world - in front of the father-in-law, Gu is not afraid to say something heart-breaking. Even if his father asks his third brother to shoulder this burden, can he be able to bear it?

    The third brother has no knowledge of military affairs, does not understand political strategy, has no experience, and has no experience. Now that the world is uncertain, is it not a joke to entrust military and state affairs to his hands?  My father is wise and wise, how could he do this?  "

    "His Royal Highness is right, this matter is indeed unreasonable."

    "You can see from this that you know"

    Ye Jianxin interrupted him: "But not everything in the world is reasonable. Ye has seen even more ridiculous things; Ye has also seen even more impossible things happen."

    The smile froze on Murong Yi's face. Looking at him, Ye Jianxin said lightly: "It's just groundless rumors. I think your Highness should pay attention to it and be more careful."

    Murong Yi tried his best to force out a smile: "Yes. I will bear in mind my father-in-law's kind words and advice. However, I am asking Miss Ye to marry me"

    "Your Highness, no one but Ye can decide to change the engagement. Previously, Ye made the agreement with His Majesty. If you want to change the engagement now, you need His Majesty's consent. Your Majesty, Your Majesty also decides on your marriage. It is not up to you.  I¡¯ll decide privately.¡±

    Murong Yi's heart sank with a thud, and he said in a deep voice: "Master, don't worry, as long as you and I agree on this matter, I will be responsible for persuading my father - as long as you express your attitude, sir."

    Murong Yi believes that as long as Ye Jianxin makes it clear and expresses his willingness to recruit Murong Yi as his son-in-law, then the rest will not be a problem.  For his father, as long as he can marry with the Ye family and seize the strong support, it is enough. As for which son marries the Ye family, Murong Yi believes that his father will not care too much.

    But for this request, Ye Jianxin¡¯s response is stillreject.  He put it tactfully, saying that since he had made an appointment with His Majesty Murong Po, if he changed his mind without consulting His Majesty, "this is not what a gentleman would do."

    "Your Majesty, please be patient. When His Majesty returns to Beijing, I will meet him in person and discuss the matter with him. As long as His Majesty's intention is clear, everything can be easily discussed."

    Murong Yi was silent. He understood what Ye Jianxin meant: "It's hard to change what you have said." They were all excuses. The key was that the other party was really not optimistic about his prospects.

    He wanted to take advantage of the Ye family's self-respect and needed Ye Gongye's support to gain points in his father's mind and use the Ye family to influence his father's attitude. However, Ye Jianxin also saw his intention and did not give himself any chance.  He insisted that the matter could only be decided after discussing it with his father. This was his stance - the Ye family would only side with the winner of the succession battle.

    I want to take advantage of the Ye family, but who is more stupid than who else these days?

    A sad and wry smile appeared on Murong Yi's face. He stood up and nodded: "That's right. I understand what you mean. This trip comes unexpectedly and disturbs your tranquility. I'll take my leave now."

    "His Royal Highness is busy with state affairs, and Ye does not dare to have guests. Ye, please send His Highness out."

    When he reached the door, Murong Yi stopped.  He stared blankly at the bleak maple forest, his figure bleak and exuding a touch of sadness.

    "Your Highness?"

    "Sir, I remember that it has been two years, six months and three days since Miss Canaan passed away in Northern Xinjiang."

    Ye Jianxin was stunned, and he nodded: "Yes. Unconsciously, it has been more than two years."

    "If Miss Canaan is still alive, at this time, she should be Gu's wife, and Gu will be your son-in-law, right? After all, Gu is still not blessed enough and has no chance to be with the Ye family.  ah."

    Ye Jianxin glanced at him. There was no affectation on the young crown prince's face, only a hint of genuine sadness.

    There was a hint of sympathy in Ye Jianxin's cold eyes.  He also felt something in his heart when he saw that an outstanding junior who he had watched grow up before his own eyes was now in such a desperate situation.

    "Your Highness, please don't lose heart. Things are not desperate yet."

    "Sir, what do you mean?"

    "Your Highness. Who do you think is stronger, you or His Highness Nan?"

    Murong Yi was stunned: "Although the third brother is smart, he has always lived deep in the palace, under the protection of Concubine Mei. He has never gone out to practice and lacks experience I don't dare to belittle myself in this regard. Whether it is vision, strategy, or  Gudu is slightly better than his third brother in killing and decisiveness."

    "That is to say, His Highness's command is to fight and kill; His Highness Nan's command is to deal with the affairs of the palace, but is this like this?"

    "Uh you can put it that way."

    "The dispute between His Highness and His Highness Nan is only about who can gain His Majesty's favor - court dealings and making good friends with women. This is His Highness Nan's specialty. Your Highness, your specialty lies in military killings, but you and His Highness Nan are competing in the palace.  ¡ª¡ªUsing your own shortcomings to defeat others' strengths, how can you be undefeated, Your Highness?

    It is better to seek help from others than from yourself. Only by saving yourself can you be saved.  Your Highness, I heard that His Highness Nan often goes out hunting with only a few followers when he is at the camp. This is very dangerous. Your Highness is easy to go. I apologize for Ye's rudeness, but I won't give it away.  "

    With the sound of carriages rolling, the carriage carrying Murong Yi had already gone far.  Standing there and watching the carriage go away, the smile on Ye Jianxin's face gradually faded, and his expression became cold and lonely.

    "Uncle Xu."

    Uncle Xu walked out from behind him and bowed deeply: "Master, I am here."

    "Pack our things, we are going to stay at the manor over there in Fusui for a while."

    "Yes, I will go and do it now - there is another thing I want to report to the young master. When you were talking to the young master Murong, the young lady was hiding behind the door curtain and listening."

    Ye Jianxin frowned slightly, and then he sighed: "I know, let her come over."

    Xu Bowei bowed and left tremblingly. Soon, he led Ye Canan over: "Master, the lady is here."

    Ye Canan looked at her father nervously, her face flushed, and her slender hands nervously pinched the waistband of her skirt.  Following Uncle Xu, she shouted in a low voice: "Dad, are you looking for me?"

    Ye Jianxin looked at his daughter. Only at this moment did his iceberg-cold eyes reveal a hint of warmth.  He nodded and waved his hand: "Uncle Xu, you go down first. I'll say a few words to the lady."

    "Yes, the old slave has retired."

    Uncle Xu retreated and sent away the servants around him.  From his father's solemn eyes, Ye Canan feltSomething strange happened.  She had a vague premonition that the next conversation would be very important to her.

    But Ye Jianxin didn't start talking about important things immediately. He first asked about Ye Canan's body - have you felt anything strange recently?  Do you often forget things?  Are you still dizzy often?  Do you still have nightmares about fighting at night?  Do you still often dream about being chased, about dead people and bloodshed?

    Ye Canan answered one by one: The headache has been much better, the nightmares are less now, I can remember things clearly, and my body feels normal. She looked at her father in confusion, not understanding why he wanted to  Suddenly asked about these things.

    Ye Jianxin nodded, but he breathed a sigh of relief: replacing the lost soul with the stored Mingjue is a big adventure even for the Ye family who has devoted themselves to the method of Mingjue. No one knows what such a fusion will lead to.  Such consequences, but the situation three years ago, no longer allowed Ye Jianxin to hesitate: at that time, he even had such a consciousness, as long as he could save his daughter, even if she turned into a insane lunatic.

    The current result is only the loss of three years of memory. This is already the most perfect ending.

    But, now, is it appropriate to tell her the truth?  Will such great sorrow and joy cause her fear and loss of soul, causing her soul to become disordered again?

    But things have been delayed for three years.  With Canaan's age, it is indeed impossible to delay it any longer.  .  .

    Ye Jianxin stared straight ahead, but hesitated in his heart.  He stared at the gray maple forest in the distance, lost in thought.

    "Dad. Do you have something to tell me?"

    Awakened by Ye Jianan's call, Ye Jian suddenly understood.

    "Nan'er, why did Young Master Murong Yi come here today? You must know, right?"

    Ye Canan's jade face suddenly became flushed, and she lowered her head.  He stared at his toes: "Daughter My daughter doesn't know"

    Seeing his daughter's coyness, Ye Jianxin smiled and said kindly: "Nan'er, your mother should have discussed this matter with you. It's a pity that your mother passed away early, and you and I only have  Father and daughter depend on each other for life, so you can only worry about your father.

    This matter is related to the happiness of your life.  As a father, I don't want to wrong you, so I want to discuss it with you, and you don't have to be shy - men should marry when they are young, and women should marry when they are young. This is human nature, what is there to be embarrassed about?  I, the daughter of Ye Jianxin, should not imitate those ordinary people and should be free and easy in everything.  .  .  "

    Ye Jianxin said it directly.  Ye Jianxin's face felt hot. She pulled Ye Jianxin's sleeve and said softly: "Dad, don't say it anymore~"

    "Haha, okay, let me tell you the truth: The eldest son of the Murong family has asked me to marry you. What do you think?"

    Father finally asked this embarrassing question. Ye Canan lowered his eyes and stared at his feet, but he was confused in his heart.

    Should I agree?

    Murong Yi is his childhood sweetheart, and he has always had a good relationship with him.  Once upon a time, he was the Prince Charming that she had longed for when she was a young girl, and she liked him very much.  But after my accident, for some reason, the young and ignorant feelings suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even when I learned that he was married, there was no ripple in my heart. I just felt flat, as if  I heard that a common friend got married.

    Ye Canaan himself couldn't figure out why his mood changed so much before and after.  Dad said that he had been seriously injured and had forgotten some things. Some changes were normal, but this would not cause his temperament to change drastically - but it was hard to say. Murong Yi had also changed a lot!

    How could the dashing, sunny and energetic eldest son of the Murong family that he had grown up with become so gloomy and troubled?  His changes were equally huge.

    Now, Ye Jianan feels for Murong Yi.  .  .  I don't like him, I don't dislike him either. He is just an ordinary acquaintance. Marry him.  .  .  It doesn't seem impossible.

    Ye Canan lowered her eyes and said softly: "My daughter's affairs are entirely up to my father. But dad, what did you mean by your last words to Mr. Murong?"

    Ye Jianxin smiled faintly: "Murong Yi is in a very dangerous situation now. His father is dissatisfied with him, his younger brother is aggressive towards him, the ministers in the court do not support him, the harem is trying their best to slander him, and the soldiers loyal to him are trying their best to slander him.  There are very few horses - if he doesn't give it a try, he won't be able to secure his position as prince."

    "Dad, when you say you have a good fight - what do you mean?"

    "Nan'er, two people are playing chess. If one person is unfavorable in the chess game, it will be useless.He has regained his strength, but if he is unwilling to admit defeat, what should he do?  "

    Ye Canan blurted out: "Overturned the chessboard, and then denied it!"

    Ye Jianxin laughed: "This is one way, but Murong Yi can't overturn the chessboard and deny it. But there is another way: let the opponent in the chess game disappear. As long as there is no opponent, you will love this chess game.  You can put it however you want, isn't it up to you to decide whether you win or lose?"

    Ye Canaan was shocked: Is father persuading Mr. Murong to kill his brother?

    She lowered her head and remained silent, feeling faintly disappointed in her heart - although she was only a woman, she also knew what ethics were.  Instigating brothers to kill each other and instigating siblings to fight is not a glorious thing in any way, but it was her father who did this. She could not blame her out loud, she could only protest silently with silence.  .

    Seeing his daughter's expression, Ye Jianxin smiled slightly.  He is the one who understands his daughter's character best. She is strong and heroic. Although she is a daughter, her sense of justice is not inferior to that of a man.

    "Nan'er, you don't have to feel guilty. Even if he hadn't become a father, Master Murong Yi would have reached this point in the end."

    Ye Jianxin's face turned cold: "He even had the heart to attack his wife He. Could it be that he still has sympathy for Murong Nan? He pretended to be hesitant, but in fact it was just pretentiousness."

    Ye Canaan raised his head in surprise: "Dad, what are you talking about? You said it was he who murdered Mr. Murong's deceased wife, Mr. Hedid he himself murder her?"

    "There is no evidence. But it is very likely that Murong Yi did it. Otherwise, He, who had always been healthy, suddenly died overnight when Murong Po and I were discussing the engagement. This is really a coincidence. I am  I don¡¯t believe there are such coincidences in the world.¡±

    Ye Jian is very resourceful and does not speak easily.  But once you speak, your words will always hit the target. Ye Canaan has also known his father's abilities for a long time.  After hearing this, her face gradually turned cold and her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.

    She bowed her head to her father and said, "Dad, my daughter does not want to marry Mr. Murong Yi, please just reject him directly."

    Ye Jianxin sighed softly before saying this.  He knew that the jealous Ye Canan would react this way - in fact, from his point of view, he didn't think Murong Yi's murder of his wife was such a sin.  To achieve the goal, sacrifice at all costs. If a qualified hero does not have this kind of character and consciousness, he will not be successful.

    Doesn¡¯t Murong Yi¡¯s killing of his wife to marry him also show that he is determined to marry Ye Canan?  Originally, Ye Jianxin had always looked down on Murong Yi for being indecisive in doing things, but this incident made him slightly change his view on him: He is barely qualified, and he is qualified to be the son-in-law of my Ye family.

    But it¡¯s just enough qualifications.  In the end, it still depends on Ye Canan's wishes. Since Ye Canan is not willing, Ye Jianxin will not force his daughter - with the strength of the Ye family today, there is no need to exchange his daughter's happiness for anything.

    "That's fine, Nan'er, since you don't want to. I'll reject the eldest son Murong right now. But Nan'er, you are quite old now, and it's time to think about marriage. In addition to the eldest son of the Murong family,  , do you have anything else uh is there anything you can catch your eye with? Why not discuss it with dad? "

    Ye Canan's cheeks were flushed, and she said softly: "My daughter is only sixteen years old"

    Ye Jianxin shook his head and interrupted her: "Many women have children when they are sixteen. Besides, Nan'er, you have forgotten that you are not sixteen anymore, you are already nineteen. If you don't get married, you will become an old girl.  Well Forget it, daddy will tell you about another person, Mr. Murong Nan of the Murong family, what do you think?"

    "Young Master Murong Nan?"

    Murong Nan is Murong Yi¡¯s younger brother, and Ye Jianan also knows him.  But Ye Canan felt very bad about him - as a man, he was too artificial and too rosy.  His skin was fairer and tender than that of girls, he made a milky voice when he spoke, and he liked to raise his orchid fingers. The rich smell of powder on his body made Ye Canaan feel dizzy.

    Facing him, Ye Canan felt that she was talking to a certain servant in the palace - that's okay, Ye Canan didn't like to judge people by their appearance, but the temperament of this young master Nan made her  Chilling: There are rumors inside that several naked and scarred corpses of girls are carried out from Master Nan's palace every month.  .  .  It is said that Mr. Nan has very weird sexual habits.  .  .

    Thinking of this, Ye Canan shuddered, and she shook her head firmly: "My daughter does not want to marry, and she wants to accompany her father until she grows old."

    "Silly girl, what are you talking about? When a girl gets older, she will always get married, and when her father gets old, he will have to leave one day. Then you will be alone, and you will be very lonely."

    Ye Canan said coquettishly: "No, daddy won't grow old, daddy."?You will always be young!  Dad, when you are here, Uncle Xu and Kong Qin will also accompany me. With everyone together, Nan'er will not be lonely.  "

    Ye Jianxin laughed twice, but there was not much smile in his eyes, but only a hint of anxiety: he was getting older day by day, and his daughter was growing up day by day. He was almost 20 years old, and his marriage was not settled yet.  How can parents not be anxious?

    The reason why it is difficult for a daughter to marry is not because she is worried that she will not be able to get married - on the contrary, the daughter is both talented and beautiful, and her virtues, appearance, and work are impeccable. It is precisely because the daughter is so outstanding that it is too difficult to choose a son-in-law.

    But no matter how strong and capable a daughter is, she is still a daughter.  In this turbulent era, after a hundred years, she needs a strong man to support her and protect her.

    First of all, the future son-in-law has to be a good match with the Ye family - in fact, just because of the good match, Ye Jianxin feels very embarrassed.  The Ye family itself was already the top wealthy family in the Northern Dynasties. Looking at the Southern Tang and Northern Wei dynasties, there were not many families that could rival the Ye family.  Apart from political considerations, besides the Murong family, Ye Jianxin really couldn't think of anyone else.

    Secondly, the son-in-law must be talented and capable, able to support the Ye family, and it would be even better if he can marry into the Ye family. This is another contradiction. It is rare for a nobleman from a well-known Chinese family to be capable and capable.  Who is willing to let him join the Ye family if he is not a pillar of his family?

    Ye Jianxin actually knew that neither Murong Yi nor Murong Nan were good candidates.

    Murong Nan is a playboy, and Murong Yi is a ruthless lover - that's fine, the key is that their futures are too uncertain.

    Both of them are participants in the battle for the succession of the throne. It is not safe to marry Ye Canan, no matter who she marries.  If the son-in-law fails, the married Ye Canan will also be implicated, and the Ye family will also be implicated and decline.

    ¡°But besides the two brothers Murong Yi and Murong Nan, does he have any other choice?

    The outline of a young general appeared in front of Ye Jianxin's eyes. That young man was enthusiastic, brave, full of vigor, loyal and full of love for Ye Canan. Moreover, he was an insider to Ye Canan's amnesia from the beginning to the end.  I didn't have to bother explaining to him the reason why Ye Canaan lost his memory.

    What¡¯s more important is that he has the strength to protect Ye Canaan and even the entire Ye family in this dangerous world.  He is the most powerful armored fighter, and he has the most powerful Mingjue Master. If he joins forces with him, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat Nantang through the combination of powerful forces.

    But at the same time, Ye Jianxin also had doubts about him: Such a young and powerful military commander has built a kingdom from scratch, and has his own army and territory. If he cooperates with him, can he control him?

    ?? Should we cooperate with the powerful Murong family court and take the path of ascending to the imperial court? Or should we unite with the powerful vassal suppressor and take the path of self-protection by force?

    Ye Jianxin can't make a decision.

    "The two paths have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there are also most uncontrollable variables, such as the Northern Expedition in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the invasion of the northern demons, and the civil rebellion in the Northern Wei Dynasty.  .  .  God's will is unpredictable, and even with Ye Jianxin's wisdom, he could not determine which way was better.

    But now, as my daughter grows up day by day, I can no longer wait and see.

    "Dad, you haven't spoken a word. What are you thinking about?"

    Awakened by his daughter's words, Ye Jianxin stopped. He raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and sighed in his heart: Let God decide which way to choose.

    Nan'er, the fate of our Ye family and your future path should be determined according to your wishes.

    He looked at Ye Canan and said softly: "Nan'er, since you are unwilling to marry Mr. Nan, there is another person you should remember."

    "Dad, who are you talking about?"

    "Governor Mengju Meng of Northern Xinjiang, a few days ago, he also proposed marriage to our Ye family and asked to marry you. What do you think?"
