"Is there no way to stop it?"

Gong Chengxuan was silent for a while, staring at the man in black in front of him, then rubbed his eyebrows and asked: "When will we set off?"

But when I asked the question, I felt how ridiculous it was.

In such an emergency, it would be impossible for Ye Lan to enjoy his leisure time in the capital.

Sure enough, the next moment the man in black said: "We will set off tonight and set off overnight. His Majesty ordered us to reach the border within three days."

This is not a chance for Yelan to rest at all.

Gong Chengxuan's expression was extremely ugly. He looked at Shen Yan and asked, "Let me ask you, you were so familiar with Yelan. Tell me, based on Yelan's level, how does her commanding ability compare to the private soldiers we raise? "

Shen Yan was silent, then shook his head at Gong Chengxuan, and said softly: "I only had contact with Yelan after she came back. I don't know what Yelan's situation was at the border at all, and I don't know much about her. At most, I know that until she is not injured, even Ye Feng cannot compete."

"..."

When Gong Chengxuan heard Shen Yan's words, the ominous premonition in his heart deepened. He suddenly realized a problem: "It seems that we, the people, never know Ye Lan's true ability."

Shen Yan: "..."

He didn't want to admit it, but he still had to nod, "Ye Lan's level is probably even better than we imagined."

They know too little about Yelan.

All the knowledge came from Yelan's return from the border.

But Yelan's affairs at the border seemed to be completely blank. Except for the few achievements that Yelan reported back, Yelan's first half of his life was like a mystery to them.

Gong Chengxuan frowned and said, "Could it be that Ye Lan did this on purpose? I'm afraid she had known about the border issues a long time ago, but she had been holding back. Could it be that she had already planned to do this. When it breaks out, go to the border. Did she want to go to the border on purpose?"

"My lord..."

Shen Yan couldn't help but shout after hearing Gong Chengxuan's guess.

Gong Chengxuan looked at Shen Yan, "What do you want to say?"

Shen Yan said: "Although we don't know Ye Lan's strength very well, there is only one thing we can do. Since Ye Lan is going to put down the rebellion, can't we just not let her put it down?"

"You...are you planning to assassinate her?"

"My lord, this is the only option. It's the safest. As long as Ye Lan can't reach the border and dies on the way, it can buy us more time. By then, as long as we find Ye Feng and die without evidence, we can rest easy. "Shen Yan advised.

Gong Chengxuan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You are right, now is not the time to hesitate, immediately arrange for people to ambush on the road, we must do everything possible to kill Yelan!"

"Yes!"

But on the matter of killing Yelan, although Shen Yan gave him advice, Gong Chengxuan no longer believed him and chose to leave it to others.

When Shen Yan saw Gong Chengxuan's behavior, he knew in his heart that Gong Chengxuan should hand over this matter to the "strategist" who replaced him, but there was nothing he could do.

Now that I am here with Gong Chengxuan, I no longer have any trust.

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and swallowed up all his dissatisfaction. After Gong Chengxuan arranged everything, he said to Shen Yan: "Go away. Send someone to keep an eye on the situation at Ye's house. As long as Ye Lan leaves, You have to have people follow you all the way, and you must keep track of Yelan's location at all times."

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Yes."

……

Ye Lan has been standing in the imperial study for a long time. Although the emperor just agreed to Ye Lan's request, the imperial edict has even been written. As long as Ye Lan leaves now, he can set off with the imperial edict at any time.

But the emperor was unwilling to let Yelan leave at this time, as if he had something to say to Yelan.

Ye Lan looked at the emperor in front of him, trying to figure out his attitude.

But the emperor just sat in front of the desk and kept reading the memorials.

In the end, Yelan couldn't help but speak first: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave and prepare to leave."

"...Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"His Majesty……"

"Okay, don't rush this moment, I still have something to say to you."

The emperor was finally willing to raise his noble head and look at Ye Lan standing there.

Yelan noticed his gaze and looked at him generously.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Suddenly the emperor smiled, looked at Yelan and said, "Little girl from the Ye family, you seem to have given me a lot of surprises when I had you in the palace recently."

surprise?

Yelan was stunned for a moment, but she immediately wanted to understand what the emperor meant. Was this talking about her mediating between the queen and Concubine De?

She paused, and then answered: "Your Majesty, the situation is forcing me, and there is nothing I can do about it. But I can guarantee one thing, that is, I will always be loyal to the country, and I will never have second thoughts... Your Majesty, please be careful. , and don’t force me anymore, my wish is very simple, I just want to live a peaceful life, and don’t want to get involved in this fight for the right to be the heir.”

"really?"

"real."

Yelan nodded, looking very sincere.

However, the emperor just smiled lightly and asked instead: "In that case, why are you still with Gong Yu? Do you like Gong Yu?"

"..."

I really didn't expect that the emperor came up and said, "Do you like Gong Yu?"

Yelan really didn't know how to answer now. She had actually been prepared for the emperor to ask about her and Gong Yu's affairs, but she didn't expect the emperor to be so direct.

She was silent for a long time, and finally just nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, I like Gong Yu, and it does not conflict with my not wanting to participate in the battle for the legitimate inheritance."

"You really like Gong Yu." The emperor stared at Ye Lan, "You are so smart, you should know that I treat Gong Yu differently from other princes, right? To be honest, I don't want you to be with Gong Yu."

Ye Lan: "I know. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not force me to choose between King Yi and King Qin. But I don't understand one thing. Since Your Majesty loves Gong Yu so much, why do you insist on forcing Gong Yu to do something you don't want to do?" Things to do?"

When questioned by Ye Lanyi, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is no reason, because you are not suitable."

"But, isn't it important what Gong Yu thinks in his heart? To be honest, Your Majesty, I am just an ordinary girl. If it weren't for the halo of being the eldest daughter of Marquis Dingguo, I wouldn't be remembered all the time. But because of this incident, I can’t stay with the person I like forever, which I think is very unfair.”
