Chapter 1098: Grand Finale: Return of an Old Friend (6)
The days passed peacefully, and if there was anything unexpected, it would be Ye Hongguang.
Ye Hongguang was also taken to the palace. He hadn't woken up for a long time, but unexpectedly one day, he awoke with the intellect of a three-year-old. The imperial physician examined him and feared he had been so frightened that he was nearly insane.
By this time, Emperor Yongle was too lazy to care. Raising a fool wouldn't cost much. Ye Hongguang spent his days happily catching crickets and butterflies in the garden.
Sometimes, when Shen Miao saw his face, which resembled Fu Ming's, she felt that Ye Hongguang's life was just as tragic as Fu Ming's. Both had been born into the wrong family, wasting their lives in vain.
Empress Xian De saw her eyes were gloomy and thought she was sad for Ye Hongguang, so she patted Shen Miao's hand and comforted her: "Don't be sad, in fact, this may not be a bad thing. Now that the Ye family is gone, if he is conscious and knows all this after waking up, I don't know how sad he will be. Even if he doesn't have hatred, he will definitely be in agony. And the emperor's actions are the most radical, and he will definitely not spare his life. Now that he is like this, although he is stupid, he doesn't have to face those sad things, and can always live a carefree life like a child. Isn't it great?"
Emperor Yongle had suspected Ye Hongguang was feigning stupidity, but the imperial physician and his secret surveillance confirmed that Ye Hongguang was indeed truly stupid. Most importantly, he was unable to walk, and his health had deteriorated due to this injury. It was unknown how long he could live.
Perhaps Ye Hongguang's experience reminded Emperor Yongle of his own youth, who had also been severely poisoned in his youth and unsure of how long he would live. It was this shared experience that inspired Emperor Yongle to feel a rare compassion and spare Ye Hongguang's life.
However, Ye Hongguang is now a fool and does not know that his life and death are in the hands of the emperor. He has already rolled in the Hall of Yama, but he still smiles carefree every day.
However, not everyone in the world can live like a child and laugh heartily like Ye Hongguang.
Two months later, Xie Jingxing arrived at the edge of Ming Qi and began fighting with the Ming Qi army. At the same time, the Luo family army and the Shen family army met at Hangu Pass, and the Qin army entered the pass.
Qin and Qi joined forces and began a formal confrontation with the Daliang army led by Xie Jingxing.
War is always ruthless. Once it starts, it is not easy to end. Moreover, when two countries confront one country, they are already evenly matched.
Every day, Shen Miao studied the military defense map that she had given Xie Jing Xingmo. At first, she couldn't see any clues, but gradually, signs began to emerge. It was like a chess piece with a predetermined path, moving step by step according to the opponent's designed path.
Shen Miao knew that if she guessed correctly, the sealed military defense map should have reached Fu Xiuyi's hands.
The battle between Daliang and Qin Ming was full of wins and losses, making it difficult to tell who was winning or losing. Xie Jingxing didn't sweep through the enemy like he had in his previous life. This was certainly because Qin Ming and Daliang hadn't joined forces. Back then, Daliang had first attacked Qin and then destroyed Ming Qi. However, Shen Miao knew there was another point: Xie Jingxing had changed his strategy. He was like a shrewd and cunning hunter, luring his prey into his trap.
Catching everything in one fell swoop, not liking to get entangled, and being clean and neat is indeed the style of the Xie family.
Fu Xiuyi was taking the bait. Shen Miao was pleased with this, but she also had to admire Ye Mei's methods. Many things had changed, but she was still able to win Fu Xiuyi's heart, present the military defense map, and make Fu Xiuyi trust her even more.
