She could not help but look at Ye Chen quietly as she thought to this point.
For some reason, she suddenly had the urge not to return to the palace. She just wanted to follow the carriage forever.
She did not know where this thought came from.
Perhaps it was because of the man before her!
He had saved her and escorted her all the way. His figure had completely walked into the depths of her heart.
Ye Chen sensed her gaze and secretly frowned, "Is there anything else?"
Yun Yi did not say a word. A few seconds later, she raised her hand and slowly removed the veil on her face.
Instantly, a breathtakingly beautiful face was completely exposed to the air.
She lifted her eyes slightly and looked at Ye Chen.
The latter's eyes were also dazed for a moment.
It was a pair of indescribably beautiful eyes. It was as if all the clear blue waves in the world were condensed in them.
Her skin was like jade, and her tall nose seemed to be carved from the most precious white marble. Her red lips were like the most delicate flower buds in time.
She was beautiful without any worldly aura.
She was noble and approachable.
Seeming to have sensed the shock in his eyes, a bright redness swiftly rose on her pure white face.
Yun Yi lowered her head almost subconsciously.
Ever since the court, she had been wearing a veil and had never revealed her true appearance to the outside world.
However, there was an uncontrollable force in her heart that forced her to take the initiative to show Ye Chen the most beautiful scene of herself.
She did not know why she was doing this …
She even felt like a deer was running wild in her heart.
"Mr. Ye, my name is Yun Yi. I grew up in the Yeyou Court since I was young. I have no parents …
"My identity was originally lowly. It was the late emperor who did not mind my sins and made me a concubine. Who would have thought that the late emperor would not marry me? That night, the late emperor passed away."
Yun Yi opened her red lips and slowly told him about her background, "I thought I would follow the ancient tradition and enter the imperial mausoleum to be buried with the late emperor. However, I was chosen by the Grand Master to be the empress dowager …
"I don't know anything about national affairs, but I have to intervene in politics on behalf of the new emperor. I only wanted to wait for the new emperor to come of age before living in seclusion in the temple and accompanying the ancient Buddha. However, I was involved in the undercurrent of the Eight Kings …"
Ye Chen listened quietly and did not say anything. His expression was as calm as usual.
After an unknown period of time, Xue Ying's voice came from outside, "Empress Dowager, all the civil officials have arrived from a mile away …"
"I understand …"
Yun Yi sighed softly and looked at Ye Chen slowly, "I'll never forget what happened tonight for the rest of my life …"
"I will remember Mr. Ye's great kindness in my heart. I will deal with it after returning to the palace."
She put on her veil again after saying that. She took a deep breath in and got up to bow to Ye Chen in all seriousness.
Then, he turned around slowly.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
…
Outside the carriage, hundreds of civil officials wearing official robes and holding ceremonial tablets knelt on the ground.
"Your subjects greet the Empress Dowager. Long live the Empress Dowager!"
Yun Yi's temperament was cold and indifferent. She once again regained her noble and proud expression. She raised her white hand and said, "Everyone, please rise!!!"
After the ministers stood up, a man in purple armor took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee, "This lowly one is late and has frightened the Empress Dowager. I deserve the death penalty!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards, Ma Yuanxun, was a Martial Ancestor. He had worked hard to protect the capital for generations!
"General Ma, it's your duty to protect the capital. I can't leave you. What's the crime? Please rise!" Yun Yi said indifferently.
Ma Yuanxun stood up and looked around. He hesitated and said, "Empress Dowager, I heard that you were intercepted by the rebel army 500 kilometers away. There were as many as 100,000 of them …"
The moment that was said, the entire place was in an uproar!
Disbelief appeared on the faces of many civil officials and the soldiers who came to welcome them.
100,000 rebel soldiers!
With such power, they could even take down a dangerous pass.
Under everyone's gaze, Yun Yi said slowly, "There are indeed as many as 100,000 rebels. However, I was lucky enough to meet an extraordinary person. Under this person's escort, I defeated the tens of thousands of soldiers, killed the rebels, and arrived at the capital safely."
"What? There's actually such a powerful person in this world? "
Ma Yuanxun was shocked. His expression changed as he said, "May I ask if this person is here, Empress Dowager?"
The civil officials around them were also discussing.
Yun Yi turned around slowly and looked at the carriage behind her. She said softly, "Mr. Ye …"
A few seconds later, Ye Chen walked out of the carriage with his daughter in his arms. He lifted his eyes and looked at the people around him.
"Sir, you've done well in escorting the Empress Dowager. Please accept my bow!"
Ma Yuanxun bowed to Ye Chen solemnly and said sincerely, "May I know your name and where are you from, sir?"
Although he said that, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. After all, Ye Chen was too young.
"My name is Mad Southern Ye!" Ye Chen said calmly.
He had already thought about it. Since he wanted to find Su Yuhan and his parents, why not let his name spread everywhere before he knew where they were?
Whether it was Su Yuhan, his parents, Wushuang, or the patriarch, they were extremely familiar with the name Mad Southern Ye.
"So it's Mr. Ye!"
Ma Yuanxun cupped his fists and said, "Please get on my warhorse. We'll talk about everything after we enter the city."
Not long after, the news of the Empress Dowager's return to the capital spread throughout the world.
Along the way, Ye Chen had killed five Supreme Martial Masters consecutively and defeated thousands of troops on his own. It was like a huge torrent that swept through the entire Northern Region.
Mad Southern Ye's name shook the northern region!
"Have you guys heard? The Empress Dowager was attacked on her way back to the capital … "
"Tsk, isn't the Empress Dowager in the palace? Why is she outside the capital? "
"Who knows? However, I heard that the Empress Dowager's journey back to the capital was extremely dangerous. She was first chased by the five martial masters, then she was surrounded by 100,000 rebel troops …"
"What happened after that?"
"It was said that a man called Mad Southern Ye killed everyone in an invincible manner. He defeated 100,000 troops on his own and brought the Empress Dowager back to the capital safely …"
Such a scene had practically appeared on every street, including the major empires. Countless commoners were boasting about it.
Moreover, this story was still being adapted and exaggerated by the storytellers in the various restaurants and brothels, spreading it far and wide.
…
At the border of the major dynasties, at Tiger Xiong Pass!
The hundreds of thousands of troops from the two countries were still facing each other. However, both sides were focused on the two men who were playing a game in the sky.
At this moment, the chess game was like a dragon and a tiger fighting. The white was the tiger, and the black was the dragon.
Slap …
The military advisor of the Qing Dynasty, Gu Jianqiu, placed a white piece and broke the black piece's dragon tail. Then, he smiled faintly, "Brother Qi, you've lost …"
"Not necessarily!"
The old man in the Daoist robe seemed to have aged even more. However, he shook his head and smiled. With a trembling hand, he placed a piece on the dragon's head.
Immediately, everything changed, and the chess game changed drastically.
"You actually hid this move!"
Gu Jianqiu's expression darkened slightly. Then, he sneered and said, "Even though you won this game, your sect has lost!"
