"It's been fine, and now the wound is just a little painful and itchy," Ye Yijian gently stroked his abdomen. The bandage wrapped there had been removed, and his eyes became a little softer.

"Father, you don't know that although the injury here is not fatal, the other party's knife was covered with poison. If Jun Lan hadn't saved my life, I might have been no longer here at this time."

Ye Zhao looked at Ye Yijian, and the eyes of their father and son were exactly the same gentle, but Ye Yijian was full of expectations, but Ye Zhao's eyes were full of heartache and guilt.

"You really must have her?" Ye Zhao asked.

Ye Yijian looked up at Ye Zhao: "Yes."

"But she doesn't have you in her heart."

"Friendship can be cultivated slowly. Besides, the current marriage is not the order of the parents and the matchmaker? As long as I can ask the emperor to issue an order and betroth her to me, I believe that even if she has no affection for me, she will not hate me. Over time, we will definitely live a good life."

Ye Zhao pursed his lips and handed the letter to Ye Yijian: "But she doesn't like you at all."

Ye Yijian was stunned: "What is this?"

"After your grandmother knew your intentions, she thought about discussing with Chu Junlan and told her your kindness. At least if the emperor issued an order, she should not object fiercely. But when she heard this, she became furious and called you a daydream, and wrote a letter to your grandmother bring you... Your grandmother cried so angry that she had just fallen asleep."

Ye Yijian listened to Ye Zhao's words and saw people who would not blink even when they saw murderers on the battlefield, but at this moment he twisted his eyebrows tightly into a lump.

He pale, his fingers trembled and tore open the envelope, spreading a page of letter paper in his palm.

There were handwritings he was extremely familiar with. He didn't want a woman's handwriting, but she was like a man's handwriting, and was elegant and arrogant. He had a short typo about such words, which were all prescriptions prescribed by Chu Junlan in the past...

Looking at the words above with great humiliation, the words were filled with ruthlessness, and Ye Yijian's face turned from white to blue.

She wants to be a princess? Is she looking for a noble status?

Ye Yijian was confused for a moment, but immediately shook his head and denied it.

How could Chu Junlan care about these people with such a casual personality? If she really wanted to marry, she would definitely marry true love, not these false reputations. If she really wanted to take power and status, with Chu Junlan's ability, she could have tried every means to become the most noble woman in the Great Yong Dynasty. With her beauty and talent, it would not be difficult to enter the palace and become the empress.

Ye Yijian raised his head and looked at Ye Zhao's warm eyes, which were now covered with blood.

"You asked her to write it?" shaking the letter paper, "I don't believe she would be such a person."

Ye Zhao sighed and said, "I know people and face but not the heart, and her mind is all about being respectful to the prince. Jian'er, why do you have to force me?" As he said that, he took the letter and read the contents on it.

"It's better not to look down on you like this and humiliate you with all your might."

Ye Yijian's eyes were gradually wet: "Father, you have been away for so many years. Although I blame you, I understand you the fastest after you come back. I can understand you in this way and think about you from your perspective. Why can't you think about me too?

"You forced Jun Lan to write such a letter to reject me. You know that I am proud and will never allow anyone to humiliate me. As long as she can make a request, I will do my best to do it. Otherwise, I will feel that I am not worthy of standing by her side. Why do you still force me?"

"Jian'er, don't get me wrong."

"I have no misunderstanding. You and my grandmother are for my own good. I know, but after doing so much effort, I have sharpened my head in the Beiyuan incident, in order to have chips to ask for marriage in front of the emperor. Father, do you have the heart to see that I failed?"

Ye Yijian closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of clear tears slid down the corners of his eyes on his cheeks: "She said that, why can I put my face down and lean on her? If I can't give her a place as a princess, wouldn't I be sorry for your forced?"

"Jian'er..."

"Your methods of forcing me to make progress are really novel." Ye Yijian opened his eyes, his expression full of resentment, and even his gentle temperament became gloomy and suppressed.

Looking at such a son, Ye Zhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said quietly: "You and I are really father and son."

Ye Yijian looked at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao lowered his eyes and said with a bitter expression: "I also admired a woman at the beginning, but that woman also rejected me for the same reason."

Ye Yijian looked at Ye Zhao with some surprise: "Father... Didn't you know my mother at that time?"

Ye Zhao did not answer positively, but said, "I am really anxious about you when you see that you are trapped by love now."

Ye Yijian's attention was completely shifted to Ye Zhao's affairs back then. Even the father-son relationship who was standing on the opposite side just now became a sympathetic relationship.

"I don't want you to follow my old path. But some things are always something you have to experience. People in this world, especially those with status like you and me, rarely can marry their beloved. This is reality and it is also a rule that must be followed after enjoying the status of obeying."

"So my father... doesn't love my mother?"

Ye Zhao smiled: "When living together after marriage, how can you be completely indifferent when facing a good woman? It's just that the same word love is the same, and the feelings are different."

Ye Zhao's honest answer made Ye Yijian empathize with him for a while.

He was unfair for his mother, but he understood more. Just like now, if someone forced him to give him a wife, he might try his best to be kind to his wife and might fall in love over time, but the initial throbbing in his heart will always be left to Chu Junlan.

Seeing that Ye Yijian finally became peaceful, Ye Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Jiang'er, the future is long, and a man is determined to be in all directions. Why should he be confined to the love between his children in front of him?"

Ye Yijian smiled, but his eyes became more firm and full of ambition.

"She refused me and said she wanted my parents' orders. I earned an opportunity, but she didn't. She refused me again, saying that she didn't like the status I could bring to him, so I'll earn it again. Then I want to see what reason she would use to reject me."

"Jian'er, don't be obsessed with it."

"Father, this is the way I chose."

Ye Zhao looked at Ye Yijian, and for a moment, the fragrance was mixed.

He could see that although the plan was successful this time, it was only half successful, because this letter completely ignited Ye Yijian's ambition, and I don't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster for him.

The next day, the emperor issued an order to summon heroes.
