Wanyan Xi and the others were arranged to stay in a tent not far away. Although there were no soldiers guarding outside, there were hidden guards walking around. They didn't look like they were supervising them, but they were actually preventing them from leaving.
Jin Shanshan saw Ye Zhen outside. She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and saluted, "Niang niang, that Wanyan Xi …"
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"As far as I know, the First Prince of Xiliang is at least twenty years old. It is impossible for him to be a youth," Jin Shanshan said. This was what she had always been puzzled about.
Ye Rou chuckled. "I know. You think that Wanyan Xi is a teenager. He just has a teenager's face."
Jin Shanshan turned around in surprise. "Really?"
"I have something to ask him. Do you also have something to inquire about?" Ye Zhen looked at Jin Shanshan and asked.
"Wanyan Xi's uncle, Tuoba Xuanyuan, fought against Wan Ziliang. I want to know more about Wan Ziliang," Jin Shanshan said.
Ye Zhen didn't want to attack Jin Shanshan, but she didn't think Wan Yanxi could know so much. "Do you think Wan Yanxi knows Wan Ziliang?"
"I don't know, but I want to try." She had no other way. In the past, no one from the Jin family army had come to look for her. She had no idea what the current situation was in the Dark North Kingdom. Was the Emperor really so indifferent to her father? Could one Wan Ziliang completely erase the contributions of the Jin family to the Dark North Kingdom?
She was indignant.
"Alright, I'll let you meet him later." Ye Rou nodded. She had some things she wanted to ask Yan Xi herself.
She went to the outside of the tent and had someone go in to announce her arrival before going in to see Wanyan Xi.
Wan Yanxi seemed to have guessed that she would come to find him. He had already prepared the teacup and was waiting for her, "Empress, you finally came."
"It seems that the First Prince is waiting for me." Ye Zhen smiled faintly and sat down opposite Wanyan Xi.
"Doesn't the Empress have something to ask me?" Wanyan Xi asked with a smile.
Ye Zhen smiled, "Yes, there are some things I want to ask you."
"Empress, you know my current situation. You should know what I want," Wanyan Xi said.
"No, I don't know what your situation is now. If you are willing to tell me the truth, I will help you if I think I can. But if you deliberately conceal or fabricate, I don't think you will be any better off even if you leave the Jin Kingdom." Ye Zhen said faintly.
Wanyan Xi nodded. "Tell me what you want to know first."
"I want to know everything about the Witch King of Xiliang," Ye Zhen said faintly. "Does he have any disciples? Do you know who he has hypnotized?"
"I only know that ten years ago, the Witch King left Western Liang for a period of time. I don't know if he has a disciple, but I've never heard him mention it. As for hypnosis, are you talking about the Witch King's ability to bewitch people? He should be the most powerful person in the world. Even my father listens to him. My great and powerful father!" Wanyan Xi's eyes revealed a hint of hatred.
Ye Zhen looked up at him. "Is your current situation related to the Witch King?" "My mother was killed for no reason.
The Witch King said that I was the one who killed her. Everyone in the palace was bribed by him and no one believed me. Even my father listened to him and thought that I was an evil person. He ordered me to be burned to death. It was Ah Duo who saved me from the sea of fire. I didn't know how the Witch King knew that I was still alive, but he colluded with the Qian Luosha killers to hunt me down. I had no choice but to hide in the mountains with Ah Duo. "Wanyan Xi told Ye Zhen his story in a simple and clear manner.
"Why did the Witch King do this? Wasn't the Witch King supposed to protect the Western Liang royal family? Why did he frame a prince, who would one day become the King of Xiliang?
Wanyan Xi looked down at the teacup in front of him. "Everyone has ambitions. Perhaps the Witch King is not satisfied with just being the Witch King."
"Do you only have Ah Duo now?" Ye Zhen asked again.
"The relationship between the Witch King and Wan Ziliang of the Northern Dark Kingdom is definitely not simple. I believe that he must have someone in the Jin Kingdom. It is difficult for me to judge what kind of ambitions he has, but …" Wanyan Xi glanced at Ah Duo. "I hope to get help from the Jin Emperor. Help me contact my uncle and lend me some troops."
Ye Zhen said, "I can't promise you this right now. I am not the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom."
"Why do you want to know about the Witch King?" Wanyan Xi asked. He knew that it was impossible to talk to the Empress of the Jin Kingdom about lending troops, but he had heard that the Empress was the daughter of Ye Yiqing.
"Because I know that there is a person who can hypnotize, but I am not sure if she is the disciple of the Witch King. She has hypnotized a very important person to me, and I hope to wake her up." Ye Zhen whispered.
Wanyan Xi sneered. "Do you know what the Witch King is best at?"
"What?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown.
"It is to summon the deepest side of the human heart. Perhaps there are ambitions and desires that even you do not know. The person who is bewitched is not necessarily bewitched, but only reveals the most real side." Wanyan Xi said lightly.
Ye Zhen's face changed slightly. She thought that the Empress Dowager was not hypnotized, but she could not figure out why she became like this. "Impossible! She used to be gentle and kind!"
"Oh." Wanyan Xi sneered. "Anyone who is good at hiding will make you unable to see his nature."
"Impossible!" Ye Zhen was still unwilling to believe that there was such a possibility.
How could the Empress Dowager's nature be like this? She used to be such a gentle person.
"I am just telling you that there is such a possibility. It is not absolute. Perhaps the person who is bewitched does not know that she is bewitched. It is not her nature." Wanyan Xi said.
Ye Zhen thought of what Ye Yaoyao had said, and her heart trembled. Was it really as Wanyan Xi said, that the Empress Dowager might not be hypnotized?
"Is the King of Xiliang also hypnotized?" Ye Zhen looked at Wanyan Xi and asked.
"I don't know." Wanyan Xi said faintly, "Now that I have said what I should say, can you let me see your Emperor?"
Ye Zhen stood up. "If what you said is true, the Emperor will see you."
Wanyan Xi looked at her back. "Who is the person who bewitched the human heart?"
"A woman from the Wasteland," Ye Rou said lightly.
"The Witch King lived in the wilderness for a long time ten years ago." Wanyan Xi said.
Therefore, Ye Yaoyao's ability to hypnotize was indeed related to the Witch King of Xiliang. Did the Witch King of Xiliang know that the Empress Dowager became like this? Or was it just Ye Yaoyao's own revenge?
"Thank you for telling me this." Ye Zhen nodded to Wanyan Xi.
"That's all I know. As for what the Witch King wants to do, I think I will know later." Wanyan Xi said self-deprecatingly.
