Quick Wear: Host, please be more restrained

"Princess, the emperor has just sent someone to summon you to the palace." Xiao Tao's face was full of anxiety, fearing that the news would be passed on too late.

Ye Qiao's eyebrows jumped. He was so panicked and so surprised. Could something bad be happening?

Ye Qiao, dressed in a black nightgown, called a horse from the back door of the princess's mansion and rushed into the palace.

Before entering the palace, Ye Qiao heard the woman sobbing softly, which was extremely sad. In just a moment, Ye Qiao panicked and rushed into the door in a hurry.

Chu Xiyao, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was kneeling at the head of the bed. This woman, who had always been beautiful and had meticulous makeup and hair, had messy hair and red and swollen eyes for the first time.

It was at this time that Ye Qiao realized for the first time that Chu Xiyao was already middle-aged and had a real sense of her age.

Ye Qiao rushed to the bedside in a hurry. It wasn't long before Ye Di looked much older, with his temples turning white.

Seeing Ye Qiao's face, the extremely weak man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes with a dazed look in his eyes. Was she back?

"Father! Imperial physician! Call the imperial physician quickly!" Ye Qiao shouted hurriedly when he saw Ye Di open his eyes.

The word "Father" finally woke Ye Di up. He grabbed Ye Qiao with his old hands and whispered, "Don't... don't shout. It's useless."

Ye Di had known for a long time that his time was up. Now, as the two armies were fighting, he could not die. However, he could not hold on any longer.

At the moment of death, his only wish was to look at her, as if he saw the person deep in his memory.

Chu Xiyao looked at the man on the bed. Even though her tears could not be controlled, she was filled with hatred in her heart. Although they were both his children, he had never taken Ayi to heart. His heart and eyes were filled with the woman who had been dead for who knows how many years.

"Father, how could this happen? The last time we met, you clearly said it was just a minor problem." Ye Qiao couldn't help but become hoarse, tears streaming down his face.

“Don’t… don’t cry.”

Ye Di uttered each word one by one. He didn't want to see Ye Qiao in pain.

"Here... is an imperial edict. When the court... is stable, you can directly... ascend the throne." Emperor Ye used all his strength to take out a bright yellow imperial edict from under his pillow.

Ye Qiao looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in front of her with great shock. She had never thought that Emperor Ye would do this for her.

Chu Xiyao, who was kneeling on the ground, watched this scene with hatred in her eyes. It had been decades, and that woman had been dead for so long, but he was still thinking about her.

They are both his children, how could he be so biased towards them? He even abandoned her among the common people. She is so lucky that she can come back and compete with his son for that position.

Ye Qiao picked up the imperial edict and turned to look at Chu Xiyao unexpectedly, and the woman forgot to close her distorted face for a moment.

Chu Xiyao avoided Ye Qiao's gaze in panic.

Ye Qiao didn't care what she thought. She didn't believe that Ye Di's sudden illness had nothing to do with them.

"You...you...go out first." Ye Di turned his head and looked at Chu Xiyao.

Chu Xiyao was immediately unhappy, but under the double pressure of Ye Di and Ye Qiao, she could only get up and leave.

After the woman disappeared outside the door, Emperor Ye grabbed Ye Qiao's hand and said, "Don't blame her. I feel guilty towards the Chu family."

"Father, she..."

"Shh." Ye Di interrupted Ye Qiao.

"If you can defend this country... defend it. If you can't... just take the money... and live a good life."

He was barely breathing, and after saying the last sentence, he waved his hand, indicating that he was tired and told her to go.

In his life, he never thought of sitting in that position, but it was fate that played tricks on him. He was really exhausted.

Ye Qiao felt extremely heavy in his heart. He slowly walked out of the room with the imperial edict in his hand.

She looked up and saw the changing clouds in the sky. It might rain, Ye Qiao thought.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Ye Zhen, wake up!"

"Ye Zhen, you can't do this to me!"

"Ye Zhen, you bastard!"

The voice of Chu Xiyao cursing came to her ears, as if by telepathy. Ye Qiao suddenly felt a piercing grief in her heart, like the sea water, drowning her.

"Come here, if anyone dares to spread the news of Emperor Ye's death today, they will be killed without mercy!"

There was majesty in the woman's beautiful eyes and brows.

Several people in the room knelt down one after another, not daring to say a word.

Chu Xiyao shook the man's body like crazy, but he no longer responded.

"Someone, send the Queen back to the palace to rest." Ye Qiao said in a cold voice.

They said she was being sent back to rest, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was being put under house arrest.

Since that day, Xiao Tao felt that although her master still looked indifferent, she obviously felt that she had become much colder.

"What's the military situation on the front line today?"

Ye Qiao sat in the imperial study, controlling the government affairs and questioning the spies on the front line.

"General Shen is so brave and has temporarily eased the war situation, but the front line is too far away and the remnants of the previous dynasty have been dormant for a long time. If it drags on, it may be disadvantageous to us."

After hearing this, Ye Qiao sighed. The news of Ye Di’s death must not be spread out.

This was the time when the two armies were in contact. If this news got out, the morale of the army would be unstable and they would be defeated without a fight.

Ye Yi was reborn. He must have fought with Xu Yu'an many times and knew a lot of hidden things. Why not send him to the front line? Ye Qiao rubbed his brows.

"Send the eldest prince to the battlefield." Ye Qiao said after thinking it over.

"This...I'm afraid the Queen will not agree." The eunuch next to him suggested softly that although the eldest prince had been trained as an heir since he was a child, he was not good at fighting.

The Queen Mother hated to see the eldest prince suffer, let alone send him directly to the front line.

"If you don't tell her, will she know the news?"

Anyway, Ye Yi is a cold-hearted person, so it would be most appropriate to let him and Xu Yu'an fight each other.

"I obey my orders."

It’s better to bite one to death, since she doesn’t like either of them anyway.

Calculating the time, this news probably can't be kept secret for long. Should she go to the front line?

But after she went to the front line, there was no one in the capital. Ye Qiao's eyebrows moved. Why not just ask someone to come to the capital?

At this moment on the battlefield, the old man that day, looking at the Ye Dynasty army that was as energetic as if it had been injected with chicken blood, could not help but sigh in his heart that Shen Yi was truly a talented person.

It’s a pity. If it was someone from his side, he would definitely train him well.

It has been half a month, and the city gate, which should have been captured in three days, is still tightly closed. There is a hint of anxiety in the old man's eyes.

"My Lord, what should we do?"

Xu Yu'an, wearing a black mask, looked at the tightly closed city gate in the distance and said with his thin lips, "Since we want to waste time, we will waste time with him to the end. Send people to surround the city and don't fight him. We will just waste time with him like this."

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this. "What a good idea! Without food and grass, they will die in the city, and we can capture the city gate without any effort."

Xu Yu'an was not as happy as the old man. He dreamed of her again yesterday. She was wearing a red dress and laughing freely.

Weren't they all ready to fight? He began to soften his heart again.
