After hearing the little girl's voice, the Kang Wang couple and the Ye Weiguo couple said: "........"
Although, what the little baby said still makes sense.
But is it really okay to use torture instruments and intimidation on such a small baby?
Ye Weiguo covered his lips and coughed, "Hey, little kid, can grandpa hug you?"
As Ye Weiguo spoke, he stretched out his arms towards Song Jiujiu somewhat stiffly, looking as if someone was forcing him to hug Song Jiujiu.
Song Jiujiu wrinkled his chubby face and looked at his grandfather suspiciously.
"Grandpa, why are you acting so weird? If you don't want to hold me, you don't have to force me!"
Song Jiujiu pouted her little lips, hummed in a milky voice, turned her little head and gave her grandfather a small back look.
Ye Weiguo: “….”
Ye Fang glared at him dissatisfiedly, "Master, our little Jiu'er is so cute, don't you want to hug her?"
Ye Weiguo was anxious, "I do! Of course I do!"
"Then why are you acting so unhappy? Look, our little Jiuer is so angry that her face is puffed up."
As Ye Fang spoke, she couldn't help but stretch out her finger and gently poke the soft and chubby little face.
Song Jiujiu: "??"
"Ma'am, you know that my face always scares children to tears."
Ye Weiguo felt helpless even as he spoke.
As a great general guarding the country, in addition to protecting the country, he also has the ability to stop children from crying at night.
So much so that when children heard his name, those who were crying were either scared to stop crying, or those who were smiling were scared to start crying immediately.
Speaking of this, Ye Fangshi and Ye Peizhu couldn't help laughing.
“Xiao Jiuer, your grandfather is easy to scare children, but you are the only little granddaughter of our Ye family, and your grandfather and your grandfather love you very much.
"Be good, give grandpa a hug, okay?"
Ye Fang coaxed the little kid softly.
[Really? Well, that's fine. Actually, I like my grandpa too. After I returned to my roots in my previous life, although my grandpa looked fierce, he was very nice to me.]
I will protect my grandfather for the rest of my life. 】
The little girl turned her head with her chubby face puffed up, stretched out her chubby arms towards her grandfather, and babbled with her little mouth.
Ye Weiguo listened to his little granddaughter's inner voice, and his hard heart softened a lot.
He carefully took the little milk bag and held it in his arms.
Ye Weiguo and his wife stayed at Prince Kang's Mansion for lunch.
After a short rest after dinner, the two left.
The old emperor is now busy asking a master to perform a ritual to take Prince Li's soul away. For the time being, he has no time to care about things like Ye Weiguo's close relationship with Prince Kang's Mansion.
After watching the master finish a series of rituals, the old emperor asked hurriedly.
"Master, has the spirit of that rebellious son left?"
The bald monk in a cassock stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have sent his soul to the underworld. He will not come to harm Your Majesty again."
The old emperor heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "That's good, that's good. I can finally sleep well!"
The bald monk glanced over the old emperor's head and spoke meaningfully.
"Your Majesty, everything has its destiny. Nothing can be forced. Please don't force anything."
The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "What if I insist on forcing you?"
"If you insist on insisting, or even try to change your fate, you will probably be punished by heaven, harming both yourself and others."
The bald monk spoke slowly, word by word.
The old emperor's face darkened. "I am the Supreme Lord! I am the true Dragon Emperor! So what if I want to defy fate?!"
I want to defy fate and change my destiny. Everything in the world must make way for me!"
The bald monk's face was calm, his fingers twirling the Buddhist beads. "Then I, this humble monk, will wish the emperor all that he desires. Prince Li's soul has entered the underworld. Your Majesty can rest in peace. I will take my leave."
The old emperor was so angry that his chest heaved. His angry eyes stared at the bald monk's back as he left. He wanted to do something, but didn't.
Eunuch Fuquan, who was standing by, heard the conversation clearly.
In the past, the emperor would have been furious and ordered someone to kill the master.
Although Eunuch Fuquan couldn't bear it, he wanted to save his own life more, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Your Majesty, please send someone..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured at his neck.
"No need, just keep him alive. I will let him see how I can defy fate and change his destiny!"
The old emperor had a gloomy face and almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"yes."
......
Three days later, King Li's family was beheaded.
The failure of Prince Li's rebellion by forcing the emperor to abdicate also came to an end.
The old emperor's act of executing the entire Li Wang family was a warning to others.
For a time, the court officials were much more law-abiding.
After the matter of Prince Li was over, the old emperor remembered that Ye Weiguo had returned, and then he had to deal with what Prince Kang had said about the Ye family affairs.
The old emperor now has complicated feelings towards Ye Weiguo.
From a public perspective, Ye Weiguo, as the great general defending the country, holds half of the military command in his hand. His status in the eyes of the people in the border areas is far higher than that of him, the emperor.
He was wary of him and also afraid that his achievements would surpass his master's and backfire on him.
But privately, Ye Weiguo saved his life from the rebellious son of King Li.
That night, if Ye Weiguo had not appeared, he would have been killed by his rebellious son!
The old emperor looked at Ye Weiguo, who was in a high position, with complicated eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.
"My dear, I have been busy with other things these days and have neglected you for a while."
"Your Majesty has worked hard. Now that Prince Li is dead, Your Majesty can take good care of your health.
Your Majesty, I have learned from Prince Kang that Liu Niang has an illegitimate daughter. At the same time, I also learned something else.
I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for me!"
Ye Weiguo spoke loudly and saluted respectfully.
The old emperor frowned slightly.
He hadn't even spoken yet, but King Kang had already told General Ye about the matter?
Did that rebellious son actually take his father, the Emperor, seriously?!
The old emperor suppressed his anger and said, "My dear minister, what do you know now? Tell me and I will make the decision for you!"
"Reporting to the Emperor, I have just learned that my concubine, Lady Liu, switched my legitimate and illegitimate sons!
Today's illegitimate son Ye Shuli is the biological son of me and my wife!
And Ye Shuxun, not only is he not my wife's biological son, he is not even my biological son!
Ye Shuxun is also the son of Liu Niang and another adulterer!
After giving birth to Ye Shuxun, Liu Niang actually switched the legitimate son of my minister with another, and even colluded with a strange man to give birth to Yu Lingying!
Your Majesty, I ask you to make the decision!"
Ye Weiguo's words made the old emperor stunned.
How could General Ye's concubine have the guts to switch the legitimate son with the illegitimate son?
Even the son born is not General Ye’s biological son?!
The old emperor looked at Ye Weiguo with sympathy in his eyes.
Being plotted against and betrayed by a prostitute is a great shame and humiliation for a man!
