"What I'm going to say next is related to the late emperor!"
After hearing this, Ye Wuheng quickly stood up, clasped his fists, and knelt on one knee in the direction of Mei.
"General Ye Wuheng will answer truthfully!"
"Very good!" Mei nodded with satisfaction.
Guan Muxi looked at Mei with admiration. Her mother seemed to be glowing at this moment.
It was the first time she saw her mother like this.
"I want to know how the late emperor died!" Ye Wuheng was shocked. He didn't expect Mei to ask this question so directly.
He lowered his head in thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Mei with a determined gaze. "My lord, two years ago, the late emperor suddenly fell seriously ill. I was far away in the northern border at the time. When I rushed back, the late emperor...had already passed away. The cause of death...I don't know."
After hearing Ye Wuheng's answer, Mei frowned slightly, "You really don't know?" There was a hint of doubt in her voice.
Ye Wuheng clasped his fists again and said, "Every word I said is true. I was fighting the enemy at the border at the time. After receiving the news of the late emperor's death, I immediately rushed back to the capital. But I don't know what happened in detail."
"but…"
"But what?"
"I suspect the late emperor's death is related to the third prince!"
Mei was silent for a while, as if thinking about whether Ye Wuheng's words were credible.
"You said it's related to the Third Prince, do you have any evidence?"
"No." Ye Wuheng complained in his heart. If he had evidence, he would have gone to the capital and chopped off the third prince's head!
He knew the late emperor's health condition best. When he first came to the northern border a few years ago, the late emperor wrote to him every now and then.
When Ye Wuheng replied to the letter, he would occasionally ask about the other person's well-being.
In the year that the late emperor passed away, he suddenly stopped replying to his letters.
He wrote many letters, and only replied once in a while. Ye Wuheng didn't care.
I just thought the late emperor didn't have time to reply and didn't care.
Finally, Mei waved her hand and said, "Forget it, get up."
"yes."
After Ye Wuheng stood up, he didn't dare to sit down.
"Do you still remember when we first met?"
"Remember."
“Crunch, crunch.”
Guan Muxi was cracking dried fruits from the northern border.
The two of them couldn't help but look at Guan Muxi.
Her heart skipped a beat.
What are you looking at?
Go on. "Mom, Uncle Ye, do you want to eat too?"
She feigned innocence.
He reached out to hand it to the two of them.
"Xiaoxi, eat it yourself."
Then the two continued, "My husband and I fled here that year. The late emperor, in his righteousness, said that he would keep us alive in the Great Mountain Country."
"Do you know what we promised the late emperor?"
Ye Wuheng nodded. "I know. The late Queen mentioned this to me. She said that in ten years, Immortal, you will return to Shangjing and assist Mo Yuhan in ascending the throne."
“Yes, but that’s just one of the reasons.”
"That year we also gave him a bottle of elixir that can prolong life and cure all diseases, as well as a book of cultivation techniques."
Ye Wuheng was shocked!
The late emperor had never mentioned that bottle of elixir to him, but the elixir given by the immortal was not an ordinary thing, so there would definitely be no problems.
And that cultivation method can greatly increase the strength of the late emperor.
Then the death of the late emperor must be related to the third prince, the current emperor!
"So that's how it is." Ye Wuheng sighed in his heart. The late emperor should have lived a long life since he had obtained such a treasure. How could he have died suddenly?
"It seems that we have to go to Beijing." Ye Wuheng looked at Mei with firm eyes.
Mei nodded slightly in agreement. "If you go to the capital, you must proceed with caution. The current situation in the imperial court is complicated, with various factions constantly fighting. The Third Prince is likely to have obtained those two items."
"I understand." Ye Wuheng bowed.
"I'll help you."
Mei looked at the person in front of her, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
“After all…” Mei turned to look at Guan Muxi, her eyes firm and deep.
"I owe the late emperor a great favor." She said softly, as if recalling the past.
When Ye Wuheng heard this, he felt a surge of gratitude in his heart. He knew that this trip to Shangjing would be full of difficulties.
His Ye family might be destroyed!
Ye Wuheng knelt again to express his respect and gratitude to Mei.
"Thank you, Immortal!" His voice was full of piety and determination.
Mei smiled slightly and gently helped Ye Wuheng up.
"Get up," she said. "I'll get things back on track."
Ye Wuheng stood up, his eyes firm and confident.
Her tone was calm and steady, but it contained an unshakable determination and strength.
She said “I will,” not “hopefully,” “maybe,” or ambiguous words that carried a hint of hesitation or uncertainty.
This expression shows her absolute confidence in her abilities and her certainty about the future.
Only truly strong people can have such confidence and self-confidence.
Ye Wuheng's eyes were moist and tears were welling up. He tried hard to hold back the tears, but in the end he couldn't help it. A crystal tear slid down his cheek and he couldn't help sobbing softly.
"Wow... Master Mei, you are so kind!" He was so excited that he could hardly control himself. His voice was obviously choked and trembling, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time deep in his heart had finally found an outlet.
"Wow, Master Mei, you are truly the kindest and most loving person I have ever met in my life! Wuuuu." His crying became more and more intense, as if he wanted to use all his strength to express his gratitude to Master Mei.
The mother and daughter looked at this usually strong and unyielding general, who was now crying helplessly like a child, and couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in their hearts.
Guan Muxi widened her eyes, she couldn't believe her ears.
This tall and mighty man in front of me was actually crying.
Mei was also frightened by this sudden scene. She tried frantically to comfort Ye Wuheng, but didn't know how to start.
She could only pat his back gently, trying to give him some warmth and support in this way.
However, faced with Ye Wuheng's surging emotions, she seemed a little at a loss.
"Why are you still crying?" she asked softly, her tone full of worry and confusion.
"Master Mei, you don't know that since the late emperor passed away, my sister, Han'er's mother, also died inexplicably."
"I didn't even get to see him for the last time."
"Not to mention going back!"
Ye Wuheng said this and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"By the way, Master Mei, how can we secretly transfer the army to Shangjing?"
Right now, outside the northern border, all the soldiers are the dog emperor's soldiers.
As soon as Ye Wuheng leaves the northern border, Shangjing will get the news immediately.
