"Then he deserves to die!" The eighteen-year-old young man, with handsome features and strong anger: "It was he who caused you to be feared by the emperor and not tolerated by the world. Now everyone is saying that you kept it secret Sacred objects cannot be carried by anyone but the son of destiny. If you don’t hand them over, they will attract evil spirits and harm the people!”

When Ye Jinghong heard this, she smiled. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the young man: "Shi Yu, you are still young and don't understand the situation in the court."

The candlelight was warm and shone on her warm and gentle brows. She looked very different from that day when she was wearing silver armor and returning home in triumph.

"It is only a matter of time for the emperor and his ministers to take away the military talisman."

The country was settled, and the external worries were resolved, so the internal strife would naturally come to an end...even though she had never had second thoughts.

But she is from the Ye family, and she has the blood of the Ye family in her bones.

Your Majesty, you will naturally be wary of the Ye family.

"I'm not young anymore." Shi Yu said unconvinced, "You are only eight years older than me."

"When you were eight years old, you came to the Ye family with your sister-in-law. At that time, I was already the age you are now." Ye Jinghong nodded and said with a smile: "I have seen you grow up little by little, and now you are older than me." He is much taller and is indeed no longer a child."

At this point, she sighed, stood up slowly, walked to Shi Yu, and looked at him: "It's just Shi Yu, don't say such childish words in the future. If others hear it, it won't be good for you." good."

Shi Yu still said angrily: "But he..."

Ye Jinghong said: "I don't care about the position of the city lord. Since the death of my brother and sister-in-law, the Ye family has only been left with you and me. If it hadn't been for a national crisis, I would not have led you to the battlefield at that time."

Shi Yu asked: "So you plan to...retire after success?"

"Yes." Ye Jinghong smiled: "Glory, wealth, power and the heart of a king... I have long been tired of living like this. However, you still have a choice..."

But the young man looked at her stubbornly and said firmly: "If you don't care about this meritorious service, I will go with you."

Ye Jinghong was a little stunned when he heard this.

Then he nodded and curled his lips: "After spring, I will use my old illness as an excuse to relinquish my position as the city lord. At that time, you and I will find a place outside the world and live in seclusion."

Yun Zhiheng looked at Shi Yu in a daze. He opened his mouth, but finally swallowed his doubts and continued reading.

Like him, Shen Niannian had doubts in his heart.

After all, the young man in front of him, Lang Shiyu, had no resemblance to the Dream Devourer.

But why did Ye Jinghong call him... Shi Yu in the end?

Ye Jinghong is determined and has been dealing with the remaining matters.

She said she would never look back if she wanted to retire with success.

But things didn't go as planned, and she never made it.

In the middle of winter the following year, a plague broke out in Jiangjun City.

This plague came too suddenly. First, people fell ill in every household one after another. Then, every household stopped production, and more and more people became sick.

Ye Jinghong had no choice but to go to court and recruit folk doctors to personally participate in the plague.

But among the people, dissatisfaction gradually spread.

They all said that it was Ye Jinghong who secretly hid the sacred objects, attracting evil spirits to covet them, and this brought disaster to the people.

When he saw this, Yun Zhiheng was really angry.

He was like Shi Yu next to Ye Jinghong, wishing that Ye Jinghong would stop caring about the lives of these people.

But Ye Jinghong didn't, not even a trace of resentment or dissatisfaction.

She did not pay attention to the resentment and blame of the people. Instead, she focused on looking for famous doctors and strangers.

Shi Yu once asked her: "Is it worth it? Is it worth doing this for this group of wolf-hearted people?"

"It's not worth it." Ye Jinghong shook his head and replied: "But so what if it's not worth it? I know what kind of soft-hearted person I am...Rather than helping them, it's better to say that I am fulfilling myself. heart of."

"What I want in this life is to have a clear conscience."

"If I really don't care about it, I will regret it if I think about it again in this life."

"So, Shiyu, I'm actually... just doing it for myself."

Ye Jinghong smiled slightly. She was like a beam of light, walking out of the darkness. Even if she was swallowed by the ink, she could still illuminate everything around her.

She is sober, strong, gentle yet firm.

Just as the Dream Eater said, Ye Jinghong was truly the most flawless and pure person in the world. It’s not that I’m ignorant, but I understand everything, but I still don’t change my original intention.

And gradually, the ignorant people began to understand that Ye Jinghong was indeed dedicated to them.

Rumors of Huaibi's guilt began to disappear without a trace.

I thought everything was going in the right direction, but unexpectedly something happened that caught people off guard.

Before the plague broke out in Jiangjun City, the emperor had noticed strange phenomena in the sky and became suspicious.

Now seeing such a God-given opportunity, the emperor finally couldn't hold it any longer.

He instructed Zhou Kun to frame Ye Jinghong.

At that time, Ye Jinghong's military power was released, and three of his remaining brothers who had been through life and death were also killed suddenly at home one after another.

Finally, Ye Jinghong lost all confidence in the emperor.

The deaths of those three people... were the emperor's last warning and threat to her.

The aloof emperor wanted her to be stigmatized even if she died.

One bright morning in spring, she stood high on the tower.

One hand held the long sword to his neck, and the other hand grasped the remaining spring light.

She was dressed in plain white clothes, with dull eyebrows and no emotion at all.

But this scene makes people unable to help but feel red eyes and sad heart.

The Yongyi Hou Mansion is full of loyal and loyal people. In order to protect the world, they turned into a handful of loess.

Now, she has no relatives and no friends, just like a lonely ghost.

The old people under my command are also dying and disabled. Only the remaining few people...she wanted to save their lives by dying.

"Today, I, Ye Jinghong... have humiliated the Ye family. It is irrefutable. I can only apologize by dying."

The long sword cut through his neck, and blood spurted out.

But she smiled slightly, and the emptiness in her eyes seemed to be filled with hope.

Everyone watched as she fell down, like a lone goose that had been shot down, crashing off the tower.

"How come a good person like her doesn't live long?" Yun Zhiheng lowered his eyes, his eyes slightly moist.

Shen Niannian sighed in response: "Perhaps, for her, the world is the real hell."

What Ye Jinghong didn't know was that the emperor's heart was unpredictable.

The emperor's heart has always been as cold as ice.

Since he wanted her to die, he also wanted to prevent the weeds from growing again.

He wants to... kill them all.

Everyone in the city lord's mansion, from personal attendants to servants, all died.

As for how he died, there are only rumors that he followed his master.

They didn't know until their death that the name of loyal servant was the last thing they left in the world to be humane.

Among the powerful people in the temple, few cared about Ye Jinghong's death.

The only person I care about in this world is being hunted, persecuted, and almost dead.

And that person was none other than the young Shiyu.
