Chapter 50 Confession
He coughed lightly, nodded to Rongyu, smiled, and looked at Ye Chenyin.
Ye Chenyin naturally saw Ye Chenyuan's reaction and was furious.
"Did Rongyu get drugged?"
Ye Chenyuan asked softly, but Rongyu still heard it. In order to better know the truth, he would not interrupt.
Ye Chenyin didn't say anything and just took it as his agreement.
"Have you found out who it is?"
What he used was not poison, but love potion. He only thought of Ye Chenming to use such a despicable method, but Ye Chenyin was imprisoned, so he would not reach out so far.
Moreover, he also felt that these killers today were not sent by Ye Chenming. If they were really sent by Ye Chenming, they would definitely fight to the death with such a good opportunity. It would not be so easy to deal with them.
"Who do you think it is, brother?"
He had thought of someone, but he didn't dare. Moreover, if he really had the chance to poison Rongyu, how could he only use love potion instead of poison?
So he concluded that it was definitely not that person.
"The arrival of the people from Luosha Hall was strange, and so was the Emperor's reaction. From beginning to end, the Emperor's mood changes seemed unexpected and unwilling. I can't understand what happened today, and I don't know who it was."
"Why did you come to my tent after the banquet?"
During the banquet, Ye Chenyuan and Gan Di both drank a lot of wine. Ye Chenyuan's alcohol tolerance was not very good, so when he came back, his steps were unsteady, but his mind was clear.
He remembered that he was helped back by a young eunuch and taken directly to this tent, where he saw Rongyu.
"It was Concubine Wu. She wanted you to be caught in a misdemeanor by the Emperor, but she didn't expect an assassin to disrupt her plan."
Wu Pingting's original intention was to have Ye Chenyuan doing something romantic and be caught by Emperor Gan, and then put the blame on Ye Chenyin.
It is said that Rong Yu was deliberately seduced to undermine the wise King of Yan.
Emperor Gan would definitely kill Rong Yu, punish Ye Chenyin, and be disappointed in Ye Chenyuan. Ye Chenyuan was the prince that Emperor Gan favored the most, and the more expectations he had, the greater the disappointment would be. If Ye Chenyuan and Ye Chenyin did something so shameful, they would definitely be reported to the ministers, and the chances of Ye Chenming returning to the court would be greater.
Unexpectedly, the whole family was planning something, but in the end they just shot themselves in the foot.
"Ye Chenming was demoted to a commoner. Concubine Wu was unwilling to see her years of planning go to waste."
Concubine Wu opposed the Queen in every way in the palace, but the Queen disdained to play tricks with her, and would not play tricks with her to win her favor, so she always turned a blind eye.
She mistakenly believed that she could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Empress, and that the Eastern Palace was already in her pocket. She never restrained Ye Chenming, causing the part below him to move more than the part above his neck.
It's really your own fault.
After a moment, Ye Chenyuan looked at Rongyu gently: "Rongyu, I have something to tell you."
There seemed to be nothing to talk about between them. Although Rong Yu didn't know what Ye Chenyuan was going to say, it was not easy for her to refuse directly.
He looked at Ye Chenyin and asked for approval.
Ye Chenyin had no expression on his face, but nodded as if he was sure of victory: "Go."
What are you pretending to be? I asked you why you agreed to go even though you didn't want to.
Rong Yu disagreed in his heart. He was very tired and just wanted to lie in bed and rest. He didn't want to run around.
The two of them came outside the tent and sat by a campfire. The fire was burning very brightly. If they threw two sweet potatoes into it, it would definitely be delicious.
The moonlight in the sky was very bright. Ye Chenyuan looked up at the silver-edged moonlight and said softly, "What a beautiful moonlight."
Rong Yu also looked up. The moon in ancient times was the same as the one she saw when she was a child. It is difficult to see such a beautiful moon now.
“It’s really beautiful.”
"What does Your Highness want to tell me?"
Ye Chenyuan slowly shifted his gaze to Rongyu's face, his eyes full of smiles and a slightly uncomfortable expression.
Rongyu always felt that this expression was so familiar.
"This prince has always strictly adhered to etiquette and never thought that one day he would have rebellious thoughts. This prince and Yi Shang grew up together and were considered a perfect match in the eyes of others. Previously, this prince also believed that she was his wife. But since I met you, those thoughts have gradually faded. This prince wondered if he was also like Ye Chenming, with a love of men and women."
No, is Ye Chenyuan going to confess his feelings?
"At first, I resisted, trying to comfort myself by saying it was because you saved my life. But gradually, I realized that this longing for you was stronger when I saw you, and even stronger when I couldn't see you. Rongyu, I told you a few days ago that I asked King Jing for you, not to be my bodyguard, but to be someone close to me."
"I don't ask you to be as pleasing to me as I am to you. I only ask you to treat me with the same sincerity you treat King Jing. Rongyu, are you willing to come to my side?"
He could have suppressed this thought, but after seeing Rongyu's blushing cheeks, he could no longer suppress it. He wanted Rongyu to be by his side, to see her every day, and to truly possess her.
If Rongyu agrees, that would be great. If not...
But he always felt that there would be no chance after this time.
Rong Yu was even more depressed at this time. When such a handsome man confessed his love to him, he should have agreed without any hesitation. But he was now Ye Chenyin's man, and his heart was inclined towards him.
The handsome man's confession was sincere and his eyes were full of affection. It was obvious that he was a lovesick man and I couldn't bear to refuse him.
"Can I have both? Aren't harem stories popular now? I want a harem too."
"If the host can guarantee that Ye Chenyin will not kill you, then you can."
How could he not kill him? Even if he didn't kill him, he would kill Ye Chenyuan. If Ye Chenyuan died, the world would collapse. What's the difference between that and killing him?
"He's the male lead, why would he like me? Aren't he and Fu Yishang the official couple? How can the relationship line be changed?"
It is an iron rule that the male and female protagonists like each other. How could the male protagonist like the short-lived third male?
The author changed the article again?
'In the original novel, Ye Chenyuan had a special relationship with Shen Qinghe, but they didn't explicitly express their feelings for each other. However, the relationship between them was indeed to the extent that even Fu Yishang would envy it.'
So the male protagonist's feelings for Shen Qinghe have shifted to him? In that case, liking him wouldn't change anything, and he would still marry Fu Yishang in the end.
Rong Yu calmed himself down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I apologize for your kindness. It is my fault for not being appreciative and not being able to feel your kindness."
Ye Chenyuan lowered his eyes, the smile on the corner of his lips hanging stiffly, it was a forced smile, especially like a fake one.
The soft-hearted Rong Yu couldn't bear to see this scene at all. This was a complete torture for him. Such a handsome and good person was rejected by him!
But Ye Chenyuan also has poor vision. He doesn't like Shen Qinghe, such a good person, but likes him, a person who knows nothing and is so shortsighted?
"After all, this prince is no match for Prince Jing."
He is not as good as you and Ye Chenyin, but he is not from this world. He is here to complete the mission.
Although he likes Ye Chenyin now, Ye Chenyuan is also a very good person.
"It's not your Highness's fault, it's my own fault. Your Highness, you are doing well. Why don't you look at the people around you? Perhaps you will gain something different."
Take a look at Shen Qinghe, you will definitely like it.
"Today, the King said that these wishes will not affect the relationship between us."
Can we really be good friends?
Rong Yu smiled sweetly: "No, just a heart-to-heart talk."
Ye Chenyuan still felt disappointed after hearing this. Rong Yu tried not to make the atmosphere too awkward and talked about something irrelevant.
After a while, Ye Chenyuan sent Rongyu back to the tent. Seeing Ye Chenyin, he thought about what happened before he went to bed and wanted to ask about it.
But Ye Chenyin looked like he didn't want to talk more, and Rongyu's smiling face made him feel embarrassed to ask.
Ye Chenyin naturally knew what Ye Chenyuan wanted to ask. Before he knocked Ye Chenyuan unconscious, Ye Chenyuan was sober, but he was too drunk to confirm it.
However, he did not intend to hide this matter, and only by declaring sovereignty could Ye Chenyuan completely give up the idea.
"It's already late, we should rest. My royal brother should also go back and rest early."
After saying this, Ye Chenyin didn't wait for Ye Chenyuan to answer. He turned around and picked up the towel in the basin to wash Rongyu's hands and face.
Seeing such an intimate gesture, Ye Chenyuan had no reason to lie to himself anymore. Rong Yu was just a little embarrassed, but did not refuse.
He thought that his shameful feelings would make Rongyu uncomfortable, but it turned out that they were so close.
Ye Chenyuan came out calmly and did not return to his tent, but went to the river.
The river water seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver powder under the moonlight, and the breeze blew over Ye Chenyuan, and his thoughts were in a mess.
Human emotions are mutual and consensual. Before expressing his feelings, he thought that Rong Yu would refuse. After all, he and Ye Chenyin spend every day together, so it is normal that they are more familiar with each other. But he was sad.
He wants to tolerate everything that is related to him, laugh because of him, be sad because of him, instead of just watching his every move, which has nothing to do with himself.
"Life is full of love and passion, this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon." Ye Chenyuan looked up and sighed.
"Your Highness?"
Just at this moment Shen Qinghe came over. He knew that Ye Chenyuan had gone to find Rongyu, and he guessed what they said, but he was somewhat happy at the moment.
Ye Chenyuan turned around and saw Shen Qinghe in thin clothes. He couldn't help but blame her: "Why are you wearing so little?"
Although it is already spring, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, not to mention it is late at night by the river.
Shen Qinghe smiled slightly and said calmly: "Your Highness is also wearing thin clothes."
How could they be the same? Shen Qinghe had been weak since childhood, so he studied medicine so that he could take care of himself.
He rarely got sick since he was a child.
"When we were little, Your Highness often sneaked out of the palace to find me. We sat on the roof and watched the moon. Do you remember?"
When Ye Chenyuan was young, he wasn't as steady as he is now. Shen Qinghe was often sick. Ye Chenyuan often sneaked out of the palace to visit him at the Shen Mansion, sometimes staying overnight. They often sat on the roof with snacks, imitating the adults' singing and drinking.
Emperor Gan had sent shadow guards to protect him. They knew where he went but were not in a hurry to look for him. Therefore, he had more trust in the Shen family.
Shen Qinghe entered the Imperial Medical Service at a young age, and his position was second only to the director of the Imperial Medical Service.
