The sixth prince burst into tears, then his breathing grew weaker and weaker. His little face turned purple, his eyes wide open as if trying to grasp something, but in the end he slowly closed his eyes!
Consort Yang is dead!
The sixth prince is dead!
This scene shocked everyone; Consort Yang's maternal love was so great and awe-inspiring.
After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he was furious and ordered Ye Xiaoying to dispose of the body…
When Ye Xiaoying touched the Sixth Prince's neck, he found that he still had a faint breath. He immediately hugged him and gently stroked his forehead to check his nostrils. He was overjoyed to find that he was still breathing and prepared to go out to ask for help. He ran out of Consort Yang's palace and was speechless for a moment!
Just then, the Prince of Langya arrived and was greatly surprised to see the sixth prince in Ye Xiaoying's hands.
"How is this possible!" the Prince of Langya exclaimed in shock!
Ye Xiaoying had no time to explain, and directly handed the Sixth Prince over to the Prince of Langya, explaining that the Sixth Prince's condition was critical and required immediate treatment! The Prince of Langya, without asking any questions, picked up the Sixth Prince and fled at top speed…
Left with no other choice, Ye Xiaoying went to a mass grave late at night and found a corpse that looked like a child to deceive them...
And this was only part of it. The Emperor of Liyang was also involved. The two countries cooperated again, followed by the plot to assassinate the Princess Consort of Wu. He himself was also sent out. He knew in his heart that it was nothing more than a conspiracy by Changsun Wuji...
That battle resulted in countless deaths and injuries, and the expedition only ended when the Princess of Wu was severely injured!
Ye Xiaoying also knew that those who went there included not only the Imperial Preceptor and the Bad Commander, but also Han Diaosi and Yang Taisui of Liyang, all of whom were now pivotal figures in the dynasty. If Ye Fan found out, Liyang and the Tang Dynasty might be doomed!
Chapter 115 The Four National Masters Join Forces to Challenge Ye Fan!
Even the magnificent imperial study in the Tang Dynasty palace was still heavily guarded, making it extremely secure.
The Imperial Study, where the emperor conducted his daily work, was naturally extremely luxurious.
However, at this moment, this vast and empty place was devoid of any extravagance, but rather filled with a sense of solemnity and coldness.
On the edge of a platform dozens of meters away from the desk, a tall, slender man stood with his hands behind his back.
Those eyes gleamed with wisdom, decisiveness, resilience, and composure.
These emotions, combined together, reveal a man's unique temperament!
At this moment, Ye Xiaoying, who was in the audience, was frozen in place, seemingly lost in a memory. This scene was truly unbelievable!
After all, they were currently discussing with the Li Yang envoy how to assassinate the Human Martial Saint Ye Fan...
Yuan Tiangang, Qi Tianchen, and the Li Yang Envoy all watched Ye Xiaoying's actions with curiosity, their brows furrowed!
Changsun Wuji couldn't bear to watch any longer and quietly approached Ye Xiaoying.
He asked in a low voice, "General Ye, say something."
Changsun Wuji, that old fox, had been observing Ye Xiaoying ever since they first met, and noticed that Ye Xiaoying seemed to be in a daze.
Seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face, Ye Xiaoying hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have lost my composure!"
Ye Xiaoying's sudden behavior surprised and puzzled Li Shimin!
"What exactly do you want to do?!" Li Shimin asked coldly.
Li Shimin glared at Ye Xiaoying and shouted, "You scoundrel, I'm asking you a question, are you mute?"
Ye Xiaoying knelt on the ground, sweat beading on his forehead, but dared not raise his head.
Li Shimin grew increasingly angry and shouted, "I'm asking you! Are you mute or deaf?!"
Ye Xiaoying was startled and quickly raised his head, saying, "Your Majesty, I just suddenly thought of something, so I got a little excited!"
"what's up?"
When the messenger from Liyang noticed something was wrong with Ye Xiaoying, his mind raced. He felt that something was very amiss with Ye Xiaoying's situation.
It was as if he had suffered an extremely severe blow!
In this situation, he must figure it out!
So he asked, "General Ye, did you think of something crucial that caused you to lose control of your emotions?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoying's eye muscles twitched slightly, but he forcibly suppressed it.
He said slowly, "Actually, I'm just heartbroken. After all, I know very well how Ye Fan raised this child. His Majesty and Li Yang want to kill him, but as a father, how can I not be sad!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chunfeng and the other two were shocked.
No one expected that Ye Xiaoying would say such a thing.
The envoy from Liyang, in particular, was completely bewildered.
He suspected that Ye Xiaoying might have revealed the secret from back then, but then he thought it was impossible, since Ye Xiaoying was still alive...
However, Ye Xiaoying's behavior was too suspicious; he was definitely hiding something...
Thinking of this, the envoy from Liyang said, "General Ye, since that's the case, why not tell His Majesty everything you know?"
Ye Xiaoying hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm is my adopted son. Now that I am in such a predicament, how can I bear to harm him myself? If I were to do that, I would be unworthy of being a father, and would I still be worthy of being someone else's father?"
These words, spoken with such force and conviction, deeply moved the messenger from Liyang.
"So, General Ye has nothing to hide from us! We'll spare his life if you tell us everything..."
But Ye Xiaoying waved his hand and refused: "Envoy, please be careful with your words. This humble general would not dare to deceive His Majesty..."
Changsun Wuji advised, "General Ye, don't ruin the Ye family's century-old foundation for the sake of an outsider!"
"Although Ye Fan is not of Ye General's blood, we have all seen the care and concern that General Ye has shown him!"
"This child must not be allowed to live. If he grows up, he will become a great threat!"
Ye Fan is too dangerous!
He is no longer just a threat to the safety of the Li Yang royal family and the Tang Dynasty, but to the entire world!
If he is not eliminated, he may become a major threat to the Tang Dynasty!
Ye Xiaoying sighed. He knelt down immediately, his gaze falling on Li Shimin, and said calmly, "The Prime Minister is absolutely right. Ye Fan must be eliminated. But this humble general... this humble general... cannot bear to do it..."
"General Ye, please get up. Since you have a family relationship with Ye Fan, you are naturally someone the Emperor trusts, so you don't need to worry that the royal family will blame you."
“But if you still have concerns and are unwilling to speak, the Emperor will not blame you,” Changsun Wuji said.
Emperor Li Yang nodded in agreement.
Ye Xiaoying remained kneeling on the ground, saying, "This humble general has no reservations, this humble general simply cannot bear it..."
"Ugh…"
Ye Xiaoying sighed softly, then looked up at the sky!
Ye Xiaoying's eyes seemed to contain a thousand sorrows and intense hatred!
"Your Majesty, this humble general is absolutely loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Over the years, this humble general has fought for Your Majesty in the south and north, and has never slackened in the slightest..."
"My loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is as clear as day!"
"But I feel especially sorry for Ye Fan..."
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "It's just that he's too powerful to be of any use to me, otherwise, why would things have come to this?"
Ye Xiaoying smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right, but regarding this matter... I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
"General Ye, you'd better think twice before you act, lest you make a decision you'll regret!"
The messenger from Liyang suddenly reminded him.
He had a feeling that Ye Xiaoying's unusual behavior wasn't just because of this matter! Perhaps there was another hidden reason!
Changsun Wuji also said, "Yes! General Ye, that little beast Ye Fan will be a scourge to the world sooner or later, and should not be allowed to live!"
"Your Majesty, I implore you to eradicate this scourge completely!"
After listening to the persuasion from Changsun Wuji and the envoy from Liyang, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
He stared at Ye Xiaoying and asked, "So, General Ye, what do you think should be done with this wicked creature?"
The envoy from Liyang immediately chimed in, "General Ye, keeping Ye Fan around will only bring trouble! Please reconsider!"
Ye Xiaoying could see the murderous intent in Li Shimin's eyes and knew that Li Shimin was determined to kill Ye Fan.
He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Since the royal family has already issued the decree, then this humble general will not obstruct it! But this humble general has one condition!"
Li Shimin frowned and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"I want to see Ye Fan!"
"How dare you! Is this someone you can meet?" Changsun Wuji immediately rebuked.
Ye Fan is a martial arts master and Ye Xiaoying's adopted son. Who knows if Ye Xiaoying will lead the Ye family army to submit to the martial arts master Ye Fan to the Northern Cold King!
If that's the case, then we're in trouble!
Ye Xiaoying lowered his head, looking quite troubled.
But he gritted his teeth and insisted, "Ye Fan is my adopted son. I must see him. I beg Your Majesty's permission!"
The envoy from Liyang said somewhat anxiously, "Your Majesty, now that you have reached a decision on this matter, I shall take my leave..."
After saying that, the envoy from Liyang hurriedly left.
"Guards, take the envoy away and treat him well without any neglect!" Li Shimin ordered.
Upon hearing this, the envoy from Liyang bowed and expressed his gratitude, then left with his guards.
