Chapter 23: Feeling sorry for the villain
"The food you ancient people ate was too bland. I'd get hungry after a while and never feel full at all."
Rongyu was too satisfied and spoke without restraint, saying what was in her heart.
"You ancient people?"
Ye Chenyin frowned, his expression somewhat solemn.
Rong Yu realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained, "It's just that we country people call people from big places ancient people, because you are all so particular, eating food and drinking water in this way and that way, unlike us who eat whatever makes us full."
This excuse should be acceptable, after all, he has never been out of Tianjing City and doesn't know how people in the countryside live.
"I see."
When Rong Yu heard this, he thought that he believed it and breathed a sigh of relief for a while.
After a while, Butler Cai came to ask Ye Chenyin if he could stay up all night to celebrate the New Year this year.
The meaning of staying up all night to welcome the New Year is to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and to pray for the longevity of parents and family harmony. In previous years, Ye Chenyin would stay up all night, but in recent years he sometimes stayed up all night and sometimes didn't.
Butler Cai also knew that Ye Chenyin's staying up all night on New Year's Eve was determined by his mood when he returned from Chaoyun Palace, so he would ask about it.
Ye Chenyu didn't answer for a long time, and Butler Cai didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just waited quietly.
Ye Chenyin was not happy today, and he was also conflicted.
"Butler Cai, go and prepare. I will be with His Highness today."
Ye Chenyin still hoped that Concubine Xian would be well. People in ancient times paid attention to customs, and if they did not abide by them, they would probably feel uncomfortable for a few days.
Ye Chenyin kept his head down reading and didn't say anything.
After Butler Cai left, Rongyu stepped forward and covered Ye Chenyin's eyes with his hands.
"Your Highness, please take a break. We've been busy all afternoon. It must be very lively outside on New Year's Eve. Shall we go watch the fireworks tonight?"
Ye Chenyin reached out and pulled him into his arms, kissing his cheek.
"If you want to see fireworks, buy some and set them off in the mansion."
"Seeing others put it up for free, it's such a good deal."
Ye Chenyin smiled faintly and put his face close to the person in his arms.
Rongyu didn't dare to move for fear of disturbing his spiritual mind.
After a long time, Ye Chenyin opened his eyes and suddenly asked, "Did you apply the medicine that Butler Cai gave you?"
"Your Highness, you..."
It was already a very shameful thing, and Ye Chenyin even told others about it, which made him lose face.
The medicine was supposed to be applied by rubbing, but Ye Chenyin came back so quickly that he forgot about it.
"I will help you wipe it."
After saying that, she carried him into the inner room. Rongyu struggled in panic, but it was useless.
Perhaps it was because of his youthful vigor, but whenever Ye Chenyin saw Rong Yu's body, he would feel hot all over and could hardly control himself.
Seeing that he was about to go crazy again, Rong Yu immediately comforted him, hurriedly put on his clothes, and ran out. He definitely didn't apply the medicine, but at least his butt was saved.
The afterglow of sunset is like a painting, full of poetry on the horizon.
Rongyu was feeding the fish by the pond in the yard. The orange afterglow fell on him, making him look particularly beautiful.
Several servants brought in some large boxes and placed them in the yard.
Rong Yu didn't know what it was, but she heard a little maid ask, "Why did you bring so many fireworks?"
In order to prevent him from going out, Ye Chenyin actually bought fireworks.
I had wanted to take this opportunity to see how people celebrated New Year's Eve in ancient times, but now it has been completely ruined.
'He likes you more and more now and is worried about your safety.'
Ye Chenming was punished. With his abnormal personality, he would definitely blame Ye Chenyin. He would not let anyone who was related to Ye Chenyin go. Ye Chenyin was also afraid that he would do something desperate.
He knew all of this, but he missed such a rare opportunity. Maybe he would go back next year, and he would probably never have another chance in the future.
"I'm really grateful to him."
Rong Yu held his chin weakly and looked at the little fish in the pond, which were scrambling to eat the fish food he scattered.
"When will Ye Chenming go offline?"
If Ye Chenming doesn't log off, he will go crazy. He is not afraid of the villains being bad, but he is afraid of the villains playing rogue.
Ye Chenming is a complete villain. He will be reborn as an animal in his next life.
'According to the original novel, Ye Chenming would secretly leave the palace during the spring hunt to kill Ye Chenyin, and then be discovered by Emperor Gan and demoted to a commoner. He would have no role in the rest of the story.'
"The Emperor didn't kill him, what a biased man! The dog emperor!"
I really feel sorry for Ye Chenyin. He is obviously a good person. He has suffered so much unfairness, but he has not done anything bad.
Those rumors that he killed people like crazy and was inhumane were either spread by him himself or deliberately spread by others.
He himself spread the word because he didn't want to have too much contact with others, which was a form of self-protection. Others spread the word because they wanted to prevent him from having too much contact with others.
Although both have the same meaning, their intentions are very different.
"I suspect that the rumors about Ye Chenyin were spread by the Dog Emperor, just to make Ye Chenyin isolated and helpless."
'According to the author's idea, Emperor Gan still liked Ye Chenyin very much when he was just born. Later, because Concubine Xian became increasingly alienated from Ye Chenyin, Emperor Gan began to distance himself from her. To the point that Concubine Xian always ignored Emperor Gan and didn't give him any face. Emperor Gan also took out his resentment towards Concubine Xian on Ye Chenyin. However, Emperor Gan liked Concubine Xian from beginning to end, and his feelings towards Ye Chenyin were just related. He didn't really hate him. And the most important point is that Emperor Gan suspected that Ye Chenyin was not his own flesh and blood.'
!!!
Is there any gossip about Concubine Xian?
No wonder he was so disgusted with Ye Chenyin. It turned out that he suspected that he was the one who took over.
If Ye Chenyuan had not been there that day, Emperor Gan would not have handled the matter so impartially. He would certainly have preferred to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go, and that would have given him a chance to defend himself.
"What will be the ending of Ye Chenyin?"
"Ye Chenyin is the villain and according to the routine is destined to die. Later, Ye Chenyuan encountered a spy from the Tianxuan Kingdom while drinking with him. He was killed in the fight while trying to save Ye Chenyuan. Then, Ye Chenyuan was named the prince and became the emperor."
For some reason, when Rongyu heard that Ye Chenyin was killed, her heart felt like it was stabbed and she felt very uncomfortable.
Ye Chenyin's ending was death?
"Why would he save Ye Chenyuan? Aren't they both innocent and vengeful?"
"Because when he was a child, he was bullied by palace maids and eunuchs, and Ye Chenyuan helped him. Although he didn't say it, he always remembered it in his heart."
Because he was saved once and ended up paying with his life, how could such a person not get a good ending and be misunderstood like this?
If Ye Chenyin wants to turn evil, then he should really turn evil. Why is he pretending to be so powerful?
Rong Yu actually felt sorry for this character in the novel. These people would become just a small episode in his life experience in the future, yet he actually felt sorry for the characters in the book.
"Xuanhe, what are you doing sitting here?"
Ye Chenyin came out of the study and saw Rongyu sitting motionless by the pool, and couldn't help feeling a little angry.
You are so weak and you don’t take good care of yourself.
Ye Chenyin untied his cloak and put it on him. Rongyu could no longer suppress the heartache he felt when he saw the face so close to him.
