"That day, I was guarding Your Majesty. Master Ye was seriously injured and his breathing was uneven. The knife in his back was indeed stabbed by Concubine Rong. Master Ye died in less than half an incense stick of time. Even if Your Majesty summoned the imperial physician, it would be too late to treat him. Master Ye's injuries were really too serious."

Huang Zhongquan cried as he described the scene of that day, and what he said was quite true, for that was indeed the scene he saw that day.

"In other words, it was Zhao Yunrong who stabbed him, and His Majesty did not summon the imperial physician in time." The knife in Ye Hansheng's hand was pointed directly at Li Qi.

"Ye Hansheng!" Li Qi suddenly became nervous. He tilted his head slightly and shouted loudly, "Ye Cheng, I know that you like An He. If you can take them down today, I will marry An He to you and let you take charge of the Shadow Pavilion!"

"An and I will definitely marry her, but she can never be used as a bargaining chip or condition!" Ashen said seriously.

"Father!" Li Yiheng frowned and shouted, "After all this, why is Father still unwilling to give Ah Sheng an explanation! How can the ruler of Dongling act like this!"

"Ah Heng! All this I did was for you. How can you stand on their side?"

"I only stand on the right side!"

"Ah Heng is still so naive. The world is complicated, how can we divide it into right and wrong!"

"Your Majesty!" Ye Hansheng slowly put down the knife. "We don't want to do anything today. We just want to hear the truth from Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to let someone go."

"Your Majesty, we beg you to tell us the truth!" The soldiers knelt down and petitioned.

Li Qi frowned, "What's the difference between this and forcing the emperor to abdicate?!"

"Ah Sheng, let me talk to him!" Bai Wanyue said softly, "Trust your aunt."

Ye Hansheng looked at Bai Wanyue and nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, please come this way." Bai Wanyue brought Li Qi to the inner hall, and Liu Yi pulled Xiao Hai to follow behind.

Liu Qingyin pulled and ran towards Ye Hansheng.

"Shengsheng, are you okay?" She held Ye Hansheng's hand and looked him up and down.

Ye Hansheng tidied up her messy hair and hugged her gently, "Don't risk your life to save me in the future, protect yourself!"

"If you don't die, I won't sacrifice my life!" Liu Qingyin hugged him tightly, "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay!"

She pulled Ye Hansheng to Mo Chen and Li Yiheng.

Liu Qingyin hugged Mo Chen and said, "Sister, it's great to see you again!"

"I'm late, don't blame me!" Mo Chen patted her shoulder and said.

"How could that be! It's great that you're alive! It's enough for you to live well!"

Li Yiheng looked ashamed, "Ah Sheng, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my father and to the Ye family."

"This matter has nothing to do with Your Highness. Your Highness does not need to blame yourself."

"Aheng, are you willing to go with me?" Mo Chen asked.

Li Yiheng's eyes lit up and he looked at Mo Chen.

"Let's go together and travel around the mountains and rivers, away from the court and the palace. Are you willing to give up everything and come with me?"

Mo Chen's eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.

Li Yiheng nodded and said, "I do! Li Yiheng will never let you down in this life!"

Inner Temple.

"Wan'er, Wan'er! You are still alive, and A Yuan is still alive too, it's great!" Li Qi excitedly wanted to hug Bai Wanyue, but she pushed him away.

"Your Majesty, Wan'er is dead. She died on the day the Bai family was executed."

"Wan'er, you have to believe me. I was really deceived by that vicious woman!" Li Qi said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, I hope you can give Ah Sheng an explanation, even if it's for Yi Ran and her child.

Yiran knows very well that His Majesty loves her. It’s not that His Majesty is a bad person, but she knew Ye Shutong before. "

Li Qi was startled and said softly: "Did she tell you this?"

Bai Wanyue nodded.

Li Qi thought for a long time and said, "Okay, Wan'er, take A Yuan back to the palace. Your Changchun Palace is the same as before. For A Yuan, you should also return to the palace. My son can't stay away from home forever."

"Your Majesty, please give me some time."

Li Qi gently stroked Bai Wanyue's shoulders and said seriously: "I will never care about the past."

Bai Wanyue said nothing. Li Qi called Liu Yi in and asked Bai Wanyue to wait outside. Bai Wanyue looked at them nervously, and Liu Yi signaled her not to worry.

"Mom, what did he say to you?" Xiao Hai asked.

Bai Wanyue touched his head and said, "Children should not ask about adults' affairs."

"Your subordinate Liu Yi pays homage to Your Majesty!" He knelt down and bowed deeply.

Li Qi looked at him disdainfully and had no intention of letting him get up.

Li Qi said in a cold voice: "I want to welcome Wan'er and A Yuan back to the palace. You need to understand that A Yuan can only have me as his father! That is me! Your existence will damage Wan'er's reputation and become a stain in her life. It will also make A Yuan's identity questionable!"

Liu Yi said word by word: "I understand!"

"This is a reward for you because you have been serving Wan'er and A Yuan wholeheartedly over the years." Li Qi threw a bottle to him.

"Your subordinate...thanks for your grace!" Liu Yi bowed again.

Li Qi watched him take the medicine, then walked out the door without looking back. Bai Wanyue was waiting anxiously outside.

"You guys get together again." Li Qi patted Bai Wanyue's shoulder, touched Xiao Hai's head with a smile, and walked out of the yard.

Xiao Hai felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly pulled Bai Wanyue into the house!

Li Qi called Ye Hansheng to the side hall and handed him a letter, "This is what Atong left for you. You still recognize your father's handwriting, right? He asked me to give it to you when he was dying."

Ten years ago, on a ship on an incognito tour.

"Zhao Yunrong, what are you doing!" Li Qi pushed Zhao Yunrong away and stepped forward to support Ye Shutong.

"Atong, Atong, I will summon the imperial physician immediately, you have to hold on!"

Ye Shutong held Li Qi's hand and shook his head, whispering: "Your Majesty, this assassination is related to the Zhao family. They must have a backup plan. I am poisoned and my heart is already poisoned. I am unable to protect Your Majesty. Your Majesty needs to protect yourself now and act according to circumstances. When the time is right, you can wipe out the Zhao family!

This... This is the letter I left for Ah Sheng. When Ah Sheng grows up, please give it to him! What your majesty has to do now is to watch me die, so that Zhao Yunrong will feel that your majesty has been kept in the dark and her scheme has succeeded..."

Ye Shutong hid the letter on Li Qi without Zhao Yunrong noticing.

Li Qi frowned, gently put Ye Shutong on the ground, and stood up...

At this time Huang Zhongquan came to report that reinforcements had arrived. Zhao Yunrong saw that his plan had failed and his expression changed.

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief after Ye Shutong's death. He could finally take full control of Yingge. He would first eliminate the Bai family and then the Zhao family, and take all the power in the court into his own hands!

Ye Hansheng opened the letter in his hand and saw that it was written in the secret language of the Shadow Pavilion:

My son, Asheng.

Your mother and I are afraid that this time there will be more bad things than good things. By the time you see this book, you will probably have grown up and experienced a lot.

I know that Your Majesty will not make it easy for you to get this book. Please do not delve into the death of your mother and me. The shadow guards of the Shadow Pavilion will inevitably die in battle. Our ultimate goal is to protect you!

Your Majesty is heartless and ungrateful. If you are in the Shadow Pavilion at this moment, remember to find a way to leave it and do not use it anymore!

Spend the rest of your life with the one you love, living a relaxed and comfortable life. This is what your mother and I wish.

I only wish my son A Sheng will be safe and healthy for the rest of his life!

Father, this is written by Ye Shutong himself!"

When he was young, Ye Shutong taught him the secret codes of Yingge. He had mastered all the secret codes before entering Yingge. It turned out that his father had started planning this many years ago.

"Dad! Dad!" Xiao Hai's crying voice was heard.

Liu Qingyin and others hurried to the inner hall.

Bai Wanyue was seen holding Liu Yi, whose mouth was bleeding.

"Dad!" Liu Qingyin's tears suddenly welled up. She stepped forward to support Liu Yi, and Xiao Hai knelt in front of them.

Liu Yi looked at them and smiled, "Having you in my life is enough!"

Bai Wanyue hugged Liu Yi and said sadly: "Ayi, why are you doing this?"

Liu Yi smiled and said, "I...I am of humble status. I don't want to be a stain on the young lady's life, nor do I...want the young master to be...criticized."

"Ayi, how can you be a stain? If it weren't for you, Ayuan, Ayin and I would have died long ago. Ayi, you are the most important person in my life. We are a family!"

"Miss...you have suffered along with me...I am sorry for wronging you."

Bai Wanyue burst into tears, "Why should I feel wronged? The ten years I've been with you have been the happiest ten years of my life."

"I...I feel the same way. We have been together for ten years. I am lucky to have you..."

Liu Yi looked at Liu Qingyin, then at Xiao Hai, held their hands, smiled, and closed his eyes in Bai Wanyue's arms.

"Dad! Dad!" Liu Qingyin's face was covered with tears.

"Come, Xiaohai, let daddy hold you! Let's fly high~~!"

"Look, Xiao Hai, my dad made a windmill out of it!"

"My son has grown taller again!" The young Xiao Hai looked up at his tall father. Against the light, his father smiled happily...

Childhood memories flashed before Xiao Hai's eyes one by one. He never doubted that Liu Yi treated him very well. In his eyes, Liu Yi was undoubtedly his biological father...

"Wan'er." Li Qi called.

Without even turning her head, Bai Wanyue hugged Liu Yi and said coldly, "Your Majesty, Liu Yi and I have always abided by our duties for the past ten years and have never stepped out of line. Liu Yi has never married for my sake and for the sake of our children. In the end, I delayed him."

"He is your secret guard, this is his duty. He has been living beside you all this time, which is already disrespectful. He even lets my son call him dad. He deserves death!"

"You!" Liu Qingyin wanted to get up, but was stopped by Bai Wanyue!

"Ayin, this is over now. Don't be entangled in hatred anymore. Follow Asheng. Asheng, you must also take good care of Ayin!"

"Yes! Don't worry, aunt."

"Xiao Hai, you are of royal blood, you need to recognize your ancestors and return to your roots. Don't let playing around delay your studies."

"Your Majesty, let them go!"

"Mom, what are you going to do?" Xiao Hai's face turned pale and he looked at Bai Wanyue in panic.

Bai Wanyue touched his head and said with a smile: "Mother does nothing."

"But... I have to go and accompany your father!" After saying that, Bai Wanyue pulled out the dagger from Liu Yi's waist and stabbed it into his heart without hesitation!

"Mom! Mom!" Liu Qingyin and Xiao Hai exclaimed.

Bai Wanyue vaguely saw herself and him when she was young before her death. The young man took her to sit on a tall tree, feeling the warm breeze. The mottled sunlight shone on the young man's handsome face, making it look particularly beautiful.

The young man lowered his head and dared not look into her eyes. She stretched out her hand and said softly to the young man: "Ayi, I don't want to enter the palace. Please take me away!"

The young man turned around in surprise, his eyes shining like stars. This time, he did not refuse. He reached out his hand without hesitation and held her hand tightly...
