NOVEL NEXT Chapter 304 The storm is coming
This martial arts master began to touch her when he was teaching her movements, touching some places that she shouldn't touch intentionally or unintentionally, which made her feel very disgusted.
But this man's expression was indifferent and his words were still soft, which made her wonder if she was overthinking.
But who would have thought that the master was getting more and more exaggerated, and he no longer even pretended to be on his face, his expression gradually became lustful, and he always said nasty things in his mouth, which she couldn't bear.
Ye Yunlian wanted to go to Concubine Xian to complain and find a new master for herself, but Concubine Xian was always busy with other things recently and didn't see her at all.
Every time she resisted the master, she was not as strong as him. If she resisted too much, she would be beaten and the training would be aggravated. It was useless for her to cry and beg for mercy. She could only endure it silently.
Fortunately, this master is still a little afraid of Concubine Xian, so he doesn't dare to go too far, and it's okay to just take advantage of her occasionally.
But Ye Yunlian only felt humiliated in her heart, but she had no choice but to learn martial arts seriously so that she would not be bullied by others in the future.
In the imperial study, Zhao Guangzhi bowed: "Your Majesty, the matter in the north may not be delayed for long."
Hearing this, the emperor frowned: "Don't I know? But what I can do to help him is just a small step. Do I really want him to go to the north?"
"The environment in the north is difficult and dangerous, disasters occur frequently, and now there is a plague. It is indeed too dangerous."
Zhao Guangzhi looked at the emperor's face and said, "It's just that it's most appropriate to have someone who can represent the court and your Majesty in this matter."
The emperor raised his head and looked at him: "Zhao Aiqing said so. Could it be that there is a more suitable candidate in his heart than the third prince?"
"It is my duty to share His Majesty's worries."
After hearing this, the emperor became interested: "Tell me about it."
"The person who can go to the north on Your Majesty's behalf must be a member of the royal family, but it does not necessarily have to be a prince."
"you mean……?"
Zhao Guangzhi took a step forward and said respectfully: "There is another person in the royal family who is more suitable than the third prince, and that is the elusive King Xiaoyao."
"he?"
The emperor frowned and just remembered Chu Qingyun's appearance.
Before he ascended the throne, he did not know that there was a person like Chu Qingyun, otherwise he would have secretly executed Chu Qingyun before ascending the throne.
He will never stay with anyone who has a chance to compete with him for the throne.
It's a pity that he learned that the late emperor had such an illegitimate son from the imperial edict. The edict clearly stated that in order for Chu Qingyun to live his life safely, no matter who sat on the throne, he could be killed.
The late emperor has passed away, so the emperor naturally doesn't care about the old man's frivolous words.
But in the eyes of these ministers and people, the late emperor's edict was an unshakable order. As long as he dared to disobey it, it would be an unfilial act.
From an ancestral point of view, an unfilial person is not worthy of ascending to the throne, which is why he has always kept Chu Qingyun.
"Your Majesty, the late emperor only said that King Xiaoyao could not be killed, but he never said that he should be idle and do nothing."
Zhao Guangzhi's eyes were blazing, "Besides, there is no more suitable candidate than the prince. He can represent the Tian family and has the leisure to go to the north. What's more... not to mention there are other benefits."
He stopped here, and the emperor understood what he wanted to say.
Zhao Guangzhi is his closest confidant, so he naturally knows what he wants.
Letting the situation in the north settle down is just a matter of money and time. Who is sent to take care of it is also about face. Letting the third prince go will inevitably worry about the risks, but letting Chu Qingyun go will be more risky.
It would be great if he could die in the north.
But the emperor did not nod at this time, and just said: "This matter is of great importance. Let me think about it carefully."
"Yes, I will retire."
Although the emperor also wanted Chu Qingyun to die in the north, so as to avoid the troubles of his confidants, some ministers would always raise objections. Those people would cause him the most headache when arguing, so he must be cautious about this matter.
What's more, in the main hall, he had already agreed to let the third prince go to the border. As an emperor, what he says is an imperial edict and cannot be changed.
The most important thing is that this Chu Qingyun is a little uncertain for him. If he refuses to go when the time comes, and there is no way to suppress him by disobeying the imperial edict, won't he make the world laugh?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he simply put it down in advance and waited for the opportunity to test Chu Qingyun.
In the darkroom of Zhanran Building, Ye Qingran sat at the table, frowning and thinking about something.
She has been on guard against Concubine Xian for so many days, but there has been no movement in the past few days. This really doesn't seem like her style.
Moreover, after the emperor's people came to inquire last time, the emperor had no movement.
According to what she knew about them, they were most likely plotting something bigger secretly, so they were in no rush to kill her.
Or maybe she doesn't know her current strength, so she doesn't dare to act rashly.
No matter what the reason is, it is just a moment of peace before the storm.
But now she couldn't figure out what the emperor and Concubine Xian were thinking, so it was not a problem to keep waiting like this. After thinking about it, she decided to go back to the village.
Only this time she didn't take Ye Guodong and Jiang with her. She recruited some capable people from the investigation team and waiters to guard them, and returned to the village alone to see if the assassin team's current training had made any progress.
Although she trusts Ye Zhuoyu's abilities, these people in the assassin team have been training for so long and have generally learned everything they can learn. No matter how much they learn, Ye Zhuoyu should be in a bit of trouble.
It turns out she was right.
When she went back, the assassin team was training, and Ye Zhuoyu was sitting on the side with a sad face, not knowing what he was thinking.
So she hurried over and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking about? Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Hearing her voice, Ye Zhuoyu came back to his senses: "Ah... you are back. I was thinking about how else to improve the people in the assassin team, but I have already taught them everything I can teach, and they have also practiced Very skilled.”
Ye Qingran sat next to him and said with a smile, "Could it be that they can all defeat you now?"
"That won't happen, but... it will be soon."
Thinking that these people were easily knocked to the ground by him in the past, but now they were about to defeat him, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Ye Qingran saw what he was thinking and comforted: "You are their master, so you naturally hope that they will learn well. The best will be better than the old. Only when they can really defeat you can they be considered as masters."
She patted him on the shoulder, "You should be proud that you have so many great disciples. It would be terrible if you teach a bunch of losers."
