Chapter 410 Listen to Me
"Use your brain and think carefully." Ye Ninglan continued to walk forward. "If I murdered the Emperor of Daxing, why would I stay here? Even if I can't immediately grow wings and fly back to Xiling to claim credit with my father, I can't stay here and wait for others to catch me, right? Young General, do you think I'm so stupid?"
Ye Ninglan is naturally not stupid.
But Shao Feiyang really couldn't make sense of the scene before him. He didn't care about his own injuries, and quickly walked to the unconscious emperor to check his breath.
The emperor's face was pale and his breathing was weak. The situation was very bad.
Shao Feiyang turned around and looked at Ye Ninglan, "What's going on?"
Ye Ninglan was quite surprised that Shao Feiyang was so calm and didn't directly blame her for the Xishan Rebellion. "I said I saved your Daxing Emperor. Do you believe me?"
Shao Feiyang was silent for a moment.
In fact, when he asked Ye Ninglan what was going on, he already believed in his heart that this was not Ye Ninglan's doing.
But he didn't want to be led by Ye Ninglan, so he didn't say anything.
Ye Ninglan has known Shao Feiyang for so long and knows him quite well.
Knowing that Shao Feiyang did not directly refute it, it meant that he agreed.
She brushed off the snow on her body and sat down casually. "Actually, I hope the emperor lives longer. After all, none of his sons are as easy to get along with as he is. Not to mention Huo Zheng, Huo Yang is a smiling tiger, so cruel that he would even kill his own father."
Shao Feiyang kept looking at the emperor's injuries and tried to save him.
"Don't bother." Ye Ninglan said, "I've given him all the necessary medicine. Whether he can survive this depends on whether he's strong enough."
She said, "Come and sit down."
Shao Feiyang had no intention of sitting still. "This won't work. I have to take the emperor back to the palace to find the imperial physician for treatment as soon as possible."
"If you take the emperor out now, not only will you not be able to find a doctor to treat you, you will die with him." Ye Ninglan said, "I won't stop you from going to die, but please don't implicate me."
"You—"
Shao Feiyang's wound was painful because of Ye Ninglan's anger.
Ye Ninglan clearly saved someone, but when he opened his mouth, he made the person so angry that he almost died.
"What's wrong with me?" Ye Ninglan saw Shao Feiyang was so angry that he couldn't stand steadily, and raised his head and said: "No matter how bad I am, I saved your life. You'd better think it through before you speak."
Shao Feiyang was a man who valued gratitude and repaying kindness. He was silent for a moment before speaking again: "The emperor's life is related to the safety of Daxing. I can't just watch him die here."
Ye Ninglan said without thinking: "Then you can close your eyes."
When Shao Feiyang heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Hold it in, don't vomit." Ye Ninglan said, "I don't have any extra medicine for you."
Shao Feiyang forced himself to calm down, "I have to take the emperor out."
As he spoke, he was about to carry the emperor off the pile of straw.
Ye Ninglan didn't stop him, saying coldly, "It's hard to persuade a damned devil with kind words. You think you're a loyal and patriotic hero who would risk your life to protect your master. Little did you know that if you took the emperor out today, you would be immediately met with the confiscation of your property and the extermination of your entire clan."
Shao Feiyang paused.
He knew that Ye Ninglan was not trying to scare him.
Today at the palace, Prince Rui simply described Shao Feiyang as a traitor who had been bewitched by Princess Xiling and committed treason.
Those generals and soldiers had already obeyed King Rui's orders and were chasing him regardless of whether the matter was true or not.
Ye Ninglan said, "You can risk your own life, but don't you care about the lives of the entire Shao family, or even the entire clan?"
How could Shao Feiyang not care?
Seeing him hesitate, Ye Ninglan immediately added, "Besides, aren't you a direct descendant of the Prince of Chang'an? If the old emperor can't make it this time, Prince Rui's actions won't stop the public from complaining. This will give Prince Chang'an a chance to restore order and inherit the throne in a logical and reasonable manner."
Shao Feiyang was furious when he heard this and said, "If Prince Chang'an knew that I had the chance to save the emperor but didn't, he would never feel happy about it."
"I know."
Ye Ninglan had dealt with Huo Zheng before, so he naturally knew how unlike a member of the royal family the King of Chang'an was.
She said, "But bringing the emperor back to the palace now would be a trap."
Shao Feiyang said: "Then I will take the emperor to Xizhou to find Prince Chang'an."
"That's a good idea." Ye Ninglan nodded and asked him, "But...do you think the old emperor looks like he can travel long distances?"
Before Shao Feiyang could speak, Ye Ninglan continued, "Let's not even mention how many of Prince Rui's men are out there waiting to catch you. Even if you're truly invincible and managed to break through the encirclement and successfully reach Xizhou with the unconscious old emperor, have you ever considered what would happen if the emperor died along the way? You'd carry the emperor's body all the way over, accusing Prince Chang'an, who wasn't originally involved in this matter, of patricide and regicide. Do you think that's appropriate?"
When Shao Feiyang heard this, he couldn't help but give up the idea of taking the emperor to Xizhou.
Even if he could not help the prince ascend to a high position, he could not cause trouble for the prince.
Seeing that Shao Feiyang had fallen silent, Ye Ninglan raised his hand and patted the straw beside him, "Don't be stubborn, come and sit down."
Shao Feiyang was indeed in so much pain from his wound that he couldn't stand up, so he went over and sat down. "This won't work, that won't work either. So what do you think we should do now?"
"wait."
Ye Ninglan only said one word.
"Wait? Wait for what?"
Ye Ninglan said, "Wait until the situation becomes clearer."
Shao Feiyang waited quietly for her next words.
It was a rare opportunity for Ye Ninglan and Shao Feiyang to have such a good conversation. She said to Shao Feiyang, "Huo Yang really did something ruthless this time. He was quick and ruthless, but there was no movement from Huo Yan. He disappeared just like that. Don't you think it's strange?"
Shao Feiyang frowned slightly, "Even the Emperor is missing, so what does the Ninth Prince's disappearance mean?"
In Shao Feiyang's opinion, the number of guards and protectors around the emperor was several times greater than that around the ninth prince.
If Prince Rui could plot against the emperor, it would be no problem for him to plot against the ninth prince as well.
Ye Ninglan said, "Huo Yan and Huo Yang have been checking each other for a long time. The emperor might not have expected that Huo Yang, who always seemed docile, would suddenly take action, but Huo Yan must have been prepared. Today, the emperor was assassinated, and Huo Yan also disappeared. This must be a strange thing."
Shao Feiyang said, "The snow fell so suddenly today. Perhaps the Ninth Prince is just unlucky?"
"I don't think so." Ye Ninglan said, "Huo Yan's disappearance is very likely because he wants Huo Yang and Huo Zheng to fight to the death first, and then he will come out and reap the benefits at the last moment."
Shao Feiyang felt that what Ye Ninglan said made some sense, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Is the Ninth Prince... so cunning and shrewd?"
Ye Ninglan said: "Anyway, I don't believe that King Rui can kill two birds with one stone."
Shao Feiyang wanted to say something else, but Ye Ninglan covered his mouth with his hand. "I saved your life. From now on, you will listen to me. You won't go wrong."
