506 Could It Be That The Princess Had Pa.s.sed On Some of Her Good Luck To You?
Ye Siming glanced at Gu Yihan.
His voice was cold and carried the unique hoa.r.s.eness of youth.
“Song Quan had already said in court that he wanted to send the princess to the icehouse. I think the so-called monks’ claims have something to do with him as well.
“When I saw him bring troops into the palace this morning, I guessed that this matter had something to do with him with regards to sending the princess away from the capital.”
Ye Siming took a deep breath and looked at Gu Yihan steadily. “Your Majesty, the princess can’t be sent away. She won’t be bewitched by the demon fox. I’m willing to swear on it with my life.”
The more Gu Yihan listened, the more satisfied he felt.
He finally smiled brightly. “Alright, alright, alright. Marquis Yongye, I didn’t misjudge you!”
Gu Yihan approached Ye Siming and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ye Siming frowned. “Really?”
“I’m the emperor. How can I lie to you?” Gu Yihan tidied his sleeves. “Nuo’er is my precious treasure. How would I allow others to lay their hands on her?”
The officials clearly saw that after the emperor finished speaking, Marquis Yongye seemed to heave a sigh of relief.
His tightly furrowed brows relaxed as well.
Ye Siming nodded then cupped his hands. “I’ll take my leave.”
He was leaving just like that?!
Gu Yihan quickly called out, “Wait!”
Ye Siming looked back. “Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?”
Gu Yihan stood with his hands behind his back. “Song Quan is already dead. I don’t feel at ease letting anyone take over the troops in his hands. It just so happens that you’re young and loyal. I want you to take over this group of soldiers. What do you think?”
The officials present were secretly shocked!
Was the emperor going to give Marquis Yongye real power so soon?
Unexpectedly, Ye Siming’s first reaction was to frown. “Would it affect me from protecting the princess?”
Gu Yihan was also stunned.
He laughed loudly. “It won’t affect you from doing that. Protecting Nuo’er is still the most important thing for you to do. However, in your free time, you have to manage this group of soldiers to ensure their obedience! If anyone of them has the intention to betray me in the future, I’ll have to hold you responsible.”
When Ye Siming heard this, he nodded.
If it didn’t delay him from accompanying Gu Nuo’er as she grew up, it didn’t matter what he was given.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try,” Ye Siming said.
The officials widened their eyes.
This was a force of more than 100 people. It could be considered two military camps.
Yet, Marquis Yongye was unwilling when he agreed to this?
Gu Yihan nodded in satisfaction and asked Chunshou to bring Ye Siming to see the Song Family soldiers who had surrendered.
After all of this was done, Chunshou sent Ye Siming to the entrance of the Imperial City.
The eunuch smiled apologetically. “The marquis is only so young, but you already have so many soldiers. Your future can be said to be limitless.”
Ye Siming only looked at the sky.
He thought about how he had been delayed for so long just now. Would he still be able to go to the sweet shop to pick up Gu Nuo’er?
Chunshou felt a little awkward when he saw that Ye Siming was silent.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Bai Yi rushed over on his horse.
When he entered the Imperial City from afar, he saw Ye Siming and Eunuch Chunshou.
“Siming!” Bai Yi called out loudly. He ran over in a hurry and panted. “Did… Did you not get injured? Where’s Song Quan?”
Eunuch Chunshou smiled. “General Bai, this servant has to congratulate you. The Marquis is very hardworking. After Song Quan was killed by the emperor in his rebellion attempt, the Marquis took over the remaining Song family army. In the future, he will definitely be a famous general!”
Bai Yi was stunned.
Wasn’t he here to mediate the fight?
Why did Ye Siming take away Song Quan’s soldiers?
In front of Eunuch Chunshou, Bai Yi couldn’t ask further and only thanked Eunuch Chunshou humbly.
Then, he dragged Ye Siming away and asked him on the way before he managed to find out about the entire story.
When Bai Yi heard the entire story, his eyes widened. “You didn’t even get to see Song Quan and didn’t make any contributions, but His Majesty gave these soldiers to you?”
Ye Siming crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest. “Yes.”
Bai Yi was stunned.
Why did this kid encounter such a good thing?
Could it be that the princess had pa.s.sed on some of her good luck to Ye Siming?
