Quickly wear her as a sickly white lotus

Chapter 240 Beauty 6
At that time, Bai Xichen liked Shen Mu the most.

Shen Mu would patiently teach him to read and write, would take him to see the most beautiful fireworks in Chang'an, and would hurriedly carry him to see the imperial physician when he was sick.

He thinks that Shen Mu is the best person in the world.

Later, when the father passed away, he was the last one to see Shen Mu. Bai Xichen knelt outside the hall, at a loss, and the empress beside her looked sad but had a crazy smile in her eyes.

Father is dead.

Logically speaking, it is logical that he, the prince, will succeed to the throne.

Bai Xichen doesn't have much attachment to the throne, but as a prince, he must be the emperor.

Shen Mu came out from inside.

He looked up, and met the man's eyes, dark eyes, and he gave him a complicated look, cold and sharp.

This is a gaze that Bai Xichen has never seen before.

Alienated and cold.

So when the imperial decree was announced, the boy didn't react for a while.

The queen mother stood up in disbelief, even ignoring that there were still many ministers here.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. My son is the late emperor's own son, the last blood of the Bai family, and the crown prince."

"Shen Mu, is it you? Did you change the call letter?"

The queen mother was dragged down by the imperial guards.

Bai Xichen knelt on the ground without looking up.

He only looked at Shen Mu when all the courtiers shouted long live my emperor.

It was the dignified Shen Mu, without the friendly smile of the past.

"Does it look good?" The deep voice interrupted Bai Xichen's memory, he raised his eyes, it turned out that they had already arrived at the Plum Garden at some time.

The plum blossoms all over the garden are just in bloom, and the faint fragrance blows to the face.

"It looks good." Bai Xichen looked into the distance.

He turned to look at the man next to him.

The eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Uncle Huang, do you still remember that on my 14th birthday, you said you would send me a request?"

"You said at that time, you can promise me whatever I want."

Shen Mu turned his face sideways and looked at the young man beside him.

He slightly raised the corners of his lips, then lowered his head and approached the boy.

"Of course, Afu, tell me."

When the name came out of Shen Mu's mouth, Bai Xichen's body trembled slightly.

He looked up at him hastily.

Shen Mu put one hand on the boy's head.

"Don't be afraid, as promised, I will always protect you."

There was not much blood on the young man's face, "Uncle Huang, let the Ye family go."

The smile on Shen Mu's face disappeared.

"Afu, you always make me angry."

"But, it happened to be you."

"Okay, I let the Ye family go, but in the future, they will never be able to appear in the Qi country."

Bai Xichen almost cried with joy, he looked up at Shen Mu with red eyes.

"Satisfied now?" The man sighed.

The boy nodded, his voice choked slightly.

"Uncle, thank you, thank you."

"Okay, don't cry, if you cry again, I will regret it." Shen Mu wiped the teardrops off the young man's face.

The Ye family rebelled against the country, but in the end, the whole family was expelled from Qi State.

Regarding this point, many people in the court objected, but the emperor didn't listen to them at all.

Just after Bai Xichen breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the news that the Patriarch of the Ye family died in the prison cell.

He was accused of treason, expelled, and stigmatized from generation to generation.

Master Ye couldn't bear it.

committed suicide in his cell.

The population of the Ye family is small, and after the death of Master Ye, the wife couldn't stand it anymore and left.

Only Ye Lan survived.

Bai Xichen didn't even dare to look at Ye Lan.

Of course he knew that Master Ye was so arrogant in his bones that he couldn't accept this infamy, but Bai Xichen never thought that Master Ye would use such a decisive method.

Everyone was shocked by death, but they couldn't change the ending.

Ye Lan is the only one left in the Ye family, who will also be expelled from Qi State.

When Ye Lan was sent away, Bai Xichen didn't go.

He secretly hid in the corner and watched.

Passers-by threw vegetable leaves at the traitors, and they believed what they heard.

Ye Lan lost a lot of weight, her whole face was a little protruding, and she didn't see the old orchid and jade tree, and she fell into depression and gloom.

Even if he was hit, he would not look up, his eyes were cold and empty.

Bai Xichen returned to the palace.

But I can't feel at ease.

He changed his clothes, turned around and saw Xiao Fuzi.

Little Fuzi saluted.

"Your Highness, if you want to go, just go, the servant only hopes that you will be happier."

Bai Xichen secretly left the palace, heading towards the direction Ye Lan left.

From Kyoto to Lincheng, the boy rode a horse without stopping.

He caught up, but didn't dare to approach easily.

Coming out in a hurry, Bai Xichen didn't bring many things with him, the journey was tough, and the young prince endured it all.

After leaving the three cities in the capital, Bai Xichen appeared in front of Ye Lan.

The man in shackles only showed an expression when he saw the boy.

"Xi Chen, why are you here?"

The escorting soldiers had never seen His Highness the Crown Prince, but they also recognized the token in Bai Xichen's hand.

Bai Xichen let the two guards leave with a cold face, and then looked at Ye Lan.

He stepped forward and quickly unlocked it for Ye Lan.

After wearing it for a long time, there were red marks on the man's neck and wrists.

"Ye Lan, are you in pain?"

Ye Lan's eyes fell on the young man and eased a lot.

"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt."

"Tell me first, you are not in the palace, what are you doing here?" Ye Lan looked serious.

The boy lowered his head.

"I, I, I'm sorry, Ye Lan."

Hot tears fell.

"Ye Lan, I'm still useless, I can't save you, I made you look like this."

Ye Lan silently looked at the young man in front of her, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on his face.

"Don't cry, it's not your fault, you've worked hard, I know."

They went to an inn first and asked for a room. Ye Lan came out after bathing and changing.

In the capital, Ye Lan was famous for his handsome appearance, after washing away the dust, he became the talented Ye Lan in the capital again.

"Ye Lan, come and eat." Bai Xichen chose the dishes.

Ye Lan likes them all.

After eating, Ye Lan raised her hand and wiped the corner of the boy's mouth with a handkerchief.

His eyes are soft.

"Xichen, wait until tomorrow morning, then go back to the imperial capital."

Bai Xichen paused slightly, his face froze for a moment.

He looked at Ye Lan in front of him with hesitation.

"I, I don't want to go back."

He had been away from the imperial capital for more than ten days, and the emperor had already found out about it, so he didn't know why he didn't send someone to look for it.

But it's also possible that it would be better for him to leave.

Ye Lan probably didn't expect the boy to say that.

He was silent for a moment.

Then he said, "Lianlian, go back, there, no matter what, you are still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"What about you?" Bai Xichen raised his eyes.

Ye Lan smiled.

"I will leave Qi State. I don't know where I will go, but most likely, I won't come back."

"So, don't you want me? Brother Ye Lan, what should I do if you are gone?"

The young man stepped forward to hold Ye Lan's hand helplessly.
