Chapter 480: Heroes of the past, scum of today
"I heard your mother say this with my own ears."
Ji Yunxie's face turned pale, and he muttered to himself: "How is it possible..."
The 'Ji Yunxie' in the bronze mirror seemed to look down upon his weak and battered appearance, and snorted coldly.
"Whether you believe it or not, you can check it out."
Ji Yunxie frowned, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, awakening Ji Yunxie from his thoughts. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the bronze mirror, but it was pitch black inside and there was nothing.
Liang An's voice came from outside the door: "Master, are you there?"
Ji Yunxie's slender and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, he restrained his emotions, tightened his collar, raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
"come in."
After getting permission, Liang An pushed the door open and walked in, his voice a little anxious and his expression nervous.
"Sir, I heard from the prince that you are going back to the Zhan Palace?"
"Ah."
Ji Yunxie did not deny it, and said in a gentle voice: "You came at the right time, pack up for me, and come back with me later."
Liang An's eyes widened, and he was panicking and impatient: "Master, why do you want to go back?"
Thinking about the last time when the servants in the mansion were gossiping and the young master heard it, which led to the young master being wronged and beaten and forced to marry, Liang An thought that the same thing would happen this time and said angrily.
"Is someone gossiping about you again? Why are these people so mean?"
"Sir, you must not return to the Zhan Palace. Have you forgotten the last time you went back..."
The words that Liang An blurted out were stuck in his throat when he saw his master's pale face, and he felt a little panicked.
"I'm... I'm sorry, sir. I shouldn't have mentioned this and made you sad. It's all Liang An's fault."
"It's just that, young master, you and the prince are getting married soon. Liang An has a feeling that something bad is going to happen when someone from Prince Zhan's mansion comes to pick you up. What if there is some conspiracy..."
Ji Yunxie was stunned when he heard Liang An's words, then he laughed.
"Liang An, you worry too much. My marriage with A Yue was granted by the late emperor. Besides, the wedding is imminent. Can the queen mother stop this marriage?"
Liang An hesitated: "But..."
Ji Yunxie shook his head slightly: "Even if she wants to stop it, she will be charged with disobeying the order. With the Queen Mother's temper, she will not do such a thing that is disadvantageous to her."
The gentle voice was tinged with sarcasm.
Having said that, the shadow left by the last incident still left a deep impression on Liang An, and he couldn't help but feel scared.
But seeing that his young master didn't look very good, he opened his mouth slightly, but in the end didn't say anything to persuade him.
"Well, since you have made your decision, I will go pack my things now." "Yes."
Ji Yunxie nodded indifferently.
……
At the gate, he watched Ji Yunxie's carriage leave.
The Emperor behind him said coldly, "Master, are you so confident that your husband can go back?"
Di Ran stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the direction where Ji Yunxie left with his cold and deep eyes, and said in a cold voice.
"He can go wherever he wants. As long as his heart is still with me, that's all. As for the Zhan Palace..."
Di Ran narrowed his black eyes slightly, and his red lips curled up: "The current War King has no ambitions, and is addicted to wine and women all day long. Where is the style of military strategy, wisdom and decisiveness that he had in the past?"
"How sad it is that the former Eastern Zhou war god has fallen to this day?"
Emperor Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Yeah, I don't know how this legendary war god prince of Dong Zhou became like this now."
"I have heard the most about the great achievements of this war king in the past, but the person I saw before me was completely different from what I heard. It is really hard to believe."
Di Ran's eyes were indifferent, with a strange light flashing in them, and his red lips were slightly curled in a sarcastic arc.
"No matter how stupid and incompetent she is, as long as she doesn't provoke me and doesn't make Ah Xie sad, I won't bother to care about her."
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly: "Master is right."
Suddenly, Di Ran remembered something, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said casually.
"Has the news been kept secret?"
The emperor was startled for a moment, and instantly understood the meaning of his master's words. He lowered his eyes to hide his complicated expression, and said in a low voice with a serious face.
"Master, rest assured. Madam has dealt with all of her spies and will never let the news of your wedding get back to you."
"However, I'm afraid that this action of yours will arouse Madam's suspicion."
Di Ran narrowed his cold eyes slightly: "It doesn't matter, as long as the wedding goes smoothly, it will be a done deal by then, what can she do?"
Having said that, Diyi still felt that it would be very troublesome once the matter was exposed.
With the lady's temper, she would be furious if she knew that her master had married without telling her.
The Madam has always had a strong desire for control, and her master has been increasingly out of her control over the years, and the Madam has long been dissatisfied.
Now she has disobeyed her orders and married Young Master Yun Xie. If word of this gets back, there will definitely be a bloody storm.
Di Yi was worried and sighed.
Now we can only take it one step at a time. I hope everything goes well and the master can be with Master Yunxie as he wishes.
