Chapter 107 Does the truth matter?
Chapter 107 Does the truth matter?
I saw Ye Qingluo walking out from behind and approaching Ye Yuanshan little by little.
When he saw who was coming, Ye Yuanshan was filled with surprise, and his words were almost cautiously tentative.
"Qing...Qingluo, is that you?"
Ye Qingluo smiled and replied, "It's me."
"General, you were able to wake up thanks to the young lady's treatment."
"No, leave now, this is not the place for you!"
When Ye Yuanshan realized that the person in front of him was truly his daughter, he felt excited but also worried.
"Nie Qian, do you still remember what I said at that time?"
Nie Qian stood in front of Ye Yuanshan, lowering his head. "General, you said that no matter what happens, the young lady must not be involved, but..."
"Father, don't blame Uncle Nie. He wasn't the one who told me this."
Ye Qingluo said.
"then you……"
"General Ye, if you want to blame someone, please count it on me. I was the one who brought the person here."
"Regent……"
Ye Yuanshan was in a very complicated mood. "But I am already a criminal who has been demoted. I left without permission..."
"General Ye can rest assured that no one will know about your departure."
"Father, now that things have come to this, you don't need to worry about whether it will bring me danger."
Since she followed Ye Beimo here, how could she not understand the consequences of doing this.
Seeing that Ye Yuanshan didn't say anything, Ye Qingluo continued to ask, "Father, can you tell me what happened during this period and why you were demoted for no reason?"
"It's a long story..."
"You and your daughter have finally reunited. I think you have a lot to say. I will leave first."
"Yunzhou, Nie Qian."
Ye Beimo spoke to the two people over there again.
Nie Qian reacted immediately and bowed to Ye Yuanshan, "General, I will take my leave first."
After the three people left, Ye Yuanshan sighed again. He was happy to see his daughter, but when he thought of the danger of doing so, he was still worried even with the regent's men around.
"Qingluo, you shouldn't have come."
How could Ye Qingluo not know what Ye Yuanshan was worried about? Her eyes were firm.
"Father, I know exactly what I am doing and I am not afraid of danger. Uncle Nie has already told me about the border situation. But I still don't understand the Gu in your body and what happened in the past three years in the military camp?"
"With your ability, how could you make a mistake in command?"
"The Emperor once said that as long as we can find evidence that you were framed, we can clear your name..."
"No!" Ye Yuanshan became particularly emotional after hearing this.
He grabbed Ye Qingluo's hand and said seriously, "Qingluo, promise me that you won't investigate what happened back then!"
"Your demotion is inevitable. Your safety is the most important thing to me!"
"Is it because of the Shangshu Mansion, or Chu Beiyu?"
Ye Qingluo did not continue to ask, but instead tried to test him.
"Father, have you ever heard of the name Su Wan?"
"What did they do to you?"
Ye Yuanshan said nervously, and Ye Qingluo said, "A few months ago, Chu Beiyu returned from the expedition with the news of your demotion and the woman named Su Wan."
"Later, I learned that this person was the Shangshu's concubine's daughter, and Chu Beiyu wanted to make her his second wife."
"This bastard!"
"Cough cough cough."
"Qingluo, it's all my fault. If I had seen this man's true face earlier, I wouldn't have let you suffer this injustice."
Ye Yuanshan’s face was pale, and his eyes were full of guilt when he looked at Ye Qingluo.
"Father, your demotion is related to them, right?"
Ye Qingluo continued to ask following up on this.
Ye Yuanshan's expression froze. He hesitated for a moment when faced with Ye Qingluo's question, and finally nodded helplessly.
"A month ago, I noticed Chu Beiyu was behaving strangely, so I sent people to keep an eye on him. But who knew I would find this bastard sleeping in each other's arms with that girl named Su Wan!"
"When he saw me, Chu Beiyu knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake. At that time, we were suddenly attacked by the enemy. Although I was angry, I could only let it go and settle the score later. Who knew that a group of masked men in black appeared the night before our great victory, using Ningxiang Powder to make all the soldiers hallucinate. I received news that you were taken to the military camp, and when you came back, you saw the soldiers being slaughtered."
"Father, have you never thought about whether this is true or not?"
Ye Qingluo still felt strange. Just a handwritten letter from her didn't seem to prove anything, unless Ye Yuanshan had concealed something during this period.
"Qingluo, listen to your father and stop investigating. Things are far from that simple."
"As a father, I am satisfied to see you doing well."
Ye Yuanshan changed his tone, and his words made Ye Qingluo realize that there was something hidden.
"Father, you should rest well first. The Gu in your body is in a dormant state, but if it is over-stimulated, it is likely to wake up again. By then..."
Ye Qingluo was worried. With Ye Yuanshan's current status, he definitely couldn't stay in the capital for a long time. If the Gu broke out again one day, she couldn't predict what would happen.
"Qingluo, call Nie Qian in, I have something to ask him." Ye Yuanshan's expression suddenly became solemn.
Ye Qingluo nodded, turned and walked out.
After Nie Qian entered the house, the sky had already become completely dark. Looking at the bright moon, Ye Qingluo was filled with thoughts.
From the conversation between Nie Qian and Ye Yuanshan, she could roughly guess that the demotion was related to Chu Beiyu and Su Wan.
It is far from enough for the two of them to completely bring down a general who guards the country.
Even if we add the Shangshu Mansion, it won't work, there is also the poison...
There must be a deeper and bigger conspiracy behind this.
"Anything on your mind?"
Ye Beimo came to her side without her knowing. Ye Qingluo looked back and responded softly.
"There are some things I can't figure out."
"Is it because of General Ye's demotion?"
"Ye Qingluo, have you ever thought that even if you know the truth, you are powerless to change it?"
Ye Qingluo's expression changed slightly, as if he realized something, and his eyes became firm.
"Your Highness, I don't know why you said these words."
"Just knowing the truth does not mean that we are powerless to change it. If that were the case, it would only prove that our power is too small."
Since she has decided to investigate further, she will continue to do so even if there are difficulties and obstacles.
"Qingluo."
As they were talking, Ye Yuanshan and Nie Qian came out. Ye Qingluo ignored Ye Beimo and walked forward, "Father, why don't you take a good rest? Your health is..."
"I know, but I have to go back to the border as soon as possible."
Ye Yuanshan said as he looked towards Ye Beimo, "Otherwise, once the news gets out, it will be troublesome for both you and His Highness."
Ye Qingluo was silent for a moment, "When does father plan to leave?"
"tonight."
