After traveling through time, I married a male princess

Chapter 184 Of course I am satisfied

An old man and a young boy walked slowly on the road, and it was already dusk when they returned to the city.

At dusk, the sun gradually set and the sky was dyed orange-red.

There were still people coming and going at the city gate, and it was very lively.

The soldiers still stick to their posts, and their figures appear particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun.

They all had firm eyes and watched every move at the city gate vigilantly to ensure the safety of the city.

Some people were rushing home, while others were strolling leisurely on the avenue, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of dusk.

Children were playing not far away, their laughter echoing in the air, so happy.

"Greetings, King Yan!" The gatekeeper knelt down and saluted Ye Yanxing.

They also saw Ye Zhao, but no one saluted him.

Ye Zhao didn't care, knowing that he was now a prisoner.

"Ah."

Ye Yanxing responded and took Ye Zhao into the city.

On the streets, vendors were still busy packing up the goods on their stalls. Now that the sun was about to set, some of them had to rush back to the village.

When I passed by the wonton stall, the owner was also packing up the stall.

When he saw Ye Yanxing, he greeted him enthusiastically, "Sir, come back tomorrow to eat wontons!"

"Okay, thank you uncle." Ye Yanxing responded with a smile.

After they left, the boss belatedly realized that the person who was with Ye Yanxing just now seemed to be Prince Zhao.

He didn't know King Yan, but King Zhao did.

So, why did that young man want to be with the traitor Ye Zhao?

Is he going to shield the rebels?

The wonton shop owner heard that Ye Zhao has not been arrested yet!

The boss was worried, his brows were furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a fly to death.

"Old man, it's almost time to close the stall. What are you thinking about?!" The proprietress frowned when she saw her boss standing still.

"Hey. Coming!" The boss put aside his doubts and went to work.

No matter what the situation is, it is not something that ordinary people like him can control.

I hope that young man won’t do anything stupid!

Ye Yanxing and Ye Zhao returned to the government office. Only Jiang Zekai was there, as General Li had gone out to do something busy.

"The prince is back." Jiang Zekai saw Ye Yanxing coming to greet him, and then saw Ye Zhao standing beside him, and subconsciously said, "Counterattack..."

He stopped talking just after saying one word. Even if Ye Zhao was a traitor, he was still a prince and he could not blame him. Besides, Ye Yanxing didn't say anything.

So Jiang Zekai did not salute Ye Zhao, nor did he say anything to reprimand him. He chose to ignore it.

"Where is Ye Jingwen buried?" Ye Yanxing asked him directly.

"Reporting to the prince, all those who died on the battlefield were buried in the mountains and forests outside the city."

The same goes for Ye Jingwen. Even though he is the prince, he does not receive any preferential treatment.

He is the leader of the rebels, it would be good enough if we could collect his body.

"Take us there tomorrow." Ye Yanxing said and walked towards the hall, with Ye Zhao following behind him.

"Yes." Jiang Zekai looked at their backs in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

In the hall, Ye Yanxing and Ye Zhao sat opposite each other.

"Uncle, please."

"Nephew, hasn't anyone told you not to be so nice to your enemies?" Ye Zhao laughed. He didn't understand why Ye Yanxing was so relaxed.

"Okay?" Ye Yanxing took a sip of tea, "No, I will never be merciful to my enemies."

"Oh? Aren't you now?"

"Yeah, for example, Ye Jingwen, whom I killed with my own hands."

Ye Zhao's fingers trembled for a moment, but soon recovered. He asked in a relaxed manner, "Why must he die?"

"First, he was one of the main planners of all the events. My sister-in-law died because of this, and many people also lost their lives in this matter."

"Two, he hurt my lover."

Ye Yanxing answered word by word.

"Lover? Fu Ting's son?" Ye Zhao knew that he had married a man.

"Well, his name is Fu Qianrun." Ye Yanxing curled the corners of his mouth. Even when he was introducing Fu Qianrun to Ye Zhao, he was still happy.

"It seems that you are quite satisfied with him." Ye Zhao really didn't expect that Ye Yanxing would like men. He originally thought that this was just a joke and should not be taken seriously at all.

Even if Ye Yanxing married a man in accordance with the imperial decree, no one would take him seriously. At most, he would just be one more person in the palace.

So when they got married, Ye Zhao never thought about going back to attend.

"Of course I am satisfied. How can I not be satisfied with my former partner?"

Ye Zhao nodded, "I'm sorry I couldn't attend your wedding banquet."

"It's quite a pity." Ye Yanxing replied.

Having said that, even if Ye Zhao had gone there at that time, Ye Yanxing would not remember it.

After all, he was not familiar with the people here at that time.

The next day, Jiang Zekai took Ye Yanxing and Ye Zhao to the place outside the city where Ye Jingwen was buried.

"Your Highness, this is the place you are looking for." Jiang Zekai led them to stop in front of a grave mound.

This grave is made very simply. Just dig a hole, throw the person in, and then bury him. That's it.

There were many graves of similar size nearby, but the one in front of them had a wooden sign that read "Ye Jingwen's Tomb".

Nothing else.

General Li ordered this wooden sign to be erected just in case someone from above comes and cannot find the place.

Ye Jingwen is a member of the royal family after all.

"You go wait outside." Ye Yanxing said to Jiang Zekai.

"promise."

Jiang Zekai took the order and left, leaving only Ye Yanxing and Ye Zhao at the scene.

Ye Zhao squatted down, gently stroked the wooden sign with his palm, and his fingers moved across the words on the sign inch by inch.

He sat down on the ground, took out a dagger from his arms, and carved his signature on the wooden plaque: "Year and month, father Ye Zhaoli."

After carving, he originally planned to kill himself in front of Ye Jingwen's tomb while Ye Yanxing was not paying attention.

He raised the dagger three times, but each time he put it down.

Someone has to finish this matter, and since his son can't go, let him go.

If the son pays off his father's debts, then the father should also pay off the son's debts.

Besides, he wasn't innocent in the first place.

Ye Zhao put away the dagger, stood up and said, "Let's go."

He turned around, took two steps, looked back at the place where Ye Jingwen was buried, paused for a few seconds, and then took another step.

Ye Yanxing followed him and left.

In fact, he always knew that Ye Zhao was carrying a dagger, but he did not confiscate it. He just wanted to see what he was going to do.

Now it seems that Ye Zhao's original intention of carrying the dagger was to commit suicide? !

In the end, I didn't do it, not because of fear, but because of responsibility.

Ye Yanxing clicked his tongue and followed quietly beside him.

Jiang Zekai saw them coming out from the foot of the mountain and immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty."

"Well, go back."

"promise."
