Chapter 118
Chapter 118
After Ye Yan finished handling all the affairs, it was already late at night a week later when he returned to the palace.
The little prince had already been sent back to the palace. He was still too young to be frightened and tortured. After confirming that the wormhole was destroyed and the return journey would not be dangerous, he returned to Chongli first.
Before Ye Yan came back, it was the little prince who poked at the pictures on the news with his little hands, and seriously recounted to Chongli what happened on the Prometheus.
"sun--"
The little prince drew a circle with his hands, then walked to the other side while leaning on the wall, and drew another circle.
"Bugs."
"boom!"
He put his hands together and squatted down, then jumped up and stretched out, making a thumping sound from his mouth.
The news from a few days ago is being replayed on the screen——
"The unknown wormhole has collapsed. At present, everything around Haimen is stable. The Star Sea Fleet is on patrol to further eliminate unknown hidden dangers."
"father!"
Seeing the fleet on the news, the little prince hurried over, stopped in front of the fleet, pointed at the flagship excitedly and said to Chong Li: "Father!"
"It's not dad."
Chong Li stood up from the sofa, walked over and picked up the little prince: "Father should be back today, but now, you have to go to bed."
Of course the little guy refused to sleep. He shook his head and looked around, pretending not to hear.
"It's useless to cheat."
Ye Yan has played this trick many times, and Chong Li has long been used to it, but it's always more useful for a small group to act coquettishly than an adult. After a few minutes of confrontation between one big and one small, the voice of a maid talking suddenly came from outside the door.
"His Royal Highness is coming back."
"Is there anything I need to prepare?"
"Not yet, let's prepare the ingredients for supper first."
The little prince immediately pricked up his ears and looked outside the door. After confirming that Ye Yan was coming back, he looked eagerly at Chong Li.
His round eyes were full of anticipation, innocent and clear, which made Chong Li soft-hearted.
"Okay, you win."
Putting the baby to sleep every day is a tug-of-war, Ye Yan wants to come back, Chong Li simply leaves the job to Ye Yan - he is still not very good at babysitting, even though the little prince is more clingy to him.
While waiting for Ye Yan to come back, Chong Li changed the animation for the baby, and sat down on the sofa with the reorganization plan of the religious academy. He planned to squeeze in time to watch it, but he couldn't watch it anyway.
This state of mind-wandering while working has lasted for a week.
Chong Li didn't know what he was thinking.The Internet, the news, and even the gossip passed by the people are all good news. This is the first time in the history of the Planetary Alliance to confront the Xinghai race head-on on a large scale. In addition to gaining unprecedented approval ratings for Ye Yan, Star Haimen's status in the Planetary Alliance has risen sharply, giving him more voice.
Chong Li always felt that something was not quite right.
In addition to the official news that he had read repeatedly, he learned all about it in the communication with Ye Yan. Ye Yan told him that the invasion of Haimen Star through the wormhole was not actually the cult behind Chairman Chen and the real Xinghai race. Their intention, their goal is actually to land Chairman Chen carrying the energy source on the Prometheus, and then blow it up.
Judging from various sources, the truth is what Ye Yan said.
Just did so much, just for the Prometheus?
Time passed by, and Ye Yan hadn't returned yet, the little prince beside him yawned.
"Are you sleepy? Do you want to go to bed?"
The little prince shook his head, and pushed himself into Chong Li's arms.
He tried his best to wait for Ye Yan to come back, but finally fell asleep in Chong Li's arms in a daze.Chong Li picked him up and put him on the children's bed, then went back to the living room, opened a movie, and quietly waited for Ye Yan to come back.
I don't know how long I waited until Chong Li became unconscious, when someone suddenly picked him up from the sofa.
"Who?"
Chong Li woke up from the dream and grabbed Ye Yan's clothes in a panic.
"It's me." Ye Yan kissed him on the cheek, "Why don't you go to sleep on the bed?"
Hearing it was Ye Yan's voice, Chong Li breathed a sigh of relief, put his arm around Ye Yan's shoulder: "I'm just going to take a nap for a while, I don't intend to sleep, please let me down."
Ye Yan propped his right knee on the sofa and put Chong Li down, the soft leather of the sofa sank under the weight, just as Chong Li was about to sit up with his back propped up, Ye Yan pressed down and kissed heavily .
It's been a long time since being newly married, but this time Ye Yan is obviously a little different.
Ye Yan seemed a little worried about gains and losses, and his movements were a little rough. He kissed Chong Li's body heavily, leaving a bright red mark on it, and he repeatedly asked Chong Li to respond to his call.
"I am here."
Chong Li hugged Ye Yan's shoulders, comforting him like coaxing a little prince: "It's over, I'm safe."
Ye Yan gradually calmed down, and after a while, he embraced Chong Li again.
"Then will you leave me?"
Ye Yan kissed Chong Li's wet hair and asked in a low voice.
Chong Li thought it was a little funny, he raised his hand and gently pinched Ye Yan's cheek; "Are you sleepwalking?"
"No."
Chong Li asked: "Is that acting like a baby? Tell me, what do you want me to do again this time?"
This is a little trick that Ye Yan has always loved to play. He would pretend to be weak and sick in front of Chong Li, deliberately playing tricks to achieve some of his goals.
Unexpectedly, this time, Ye Yan was extremely serious.
Chong Li slowly restrained his smile, he felt that Ye Yan was a little nervous, which made him serious.
"How could I leave."
Ye Yan asked: "What if? What if one day, you have a chance to go back to your hometown and meet your parents—"
Chong Li interrupted him: "My parents died very early."
Ye Yan asked: "I mean, if there is a chance, you can go back to the original world and have everything you want, such as power. You will have the supreme power in that world, and no one can override you."
"Will not."
The intense joy/love made Chong Li a little tired, he changed a comfortable position in Ye Yan's arms: "I will not leave Haimen Xing, I have a home here."
"If someone forces you to go back, it's like someone forced you to come to Sea Gate from your hometown."
"Force me to go back?" Chong Li laughed, "Even if I don't make a move, will you stand by and watch?"
"No one can force you to go back."
Chong Li said: "That's it. Whether it is subjective or objective, there is no possibility of me going back, so what are you worried about?"
He raised his eyes and looked at Ye Yan: "Instead of worrying that I will leave, how about worrying that the upcoming work will prevent us from seeing each other for a few days?"
Chong Li leaned closer to Ye Yan's ear and said softly, "So, why don't you recharge the battery tonight?"
Ye Yan turned over and kissed Chong Li hard.
Chong Li has never been able to understand why Ye Yan would ask such a question on the night of the reunion after a long absence. In the following time, Ye Yan never mentioned it again. Chong Li occasionally thought of asking, but because of the accumulated work forgotten.
After the arrest of Chairman Chen's gang, many old cases were uncovered, including the murder of the Queen.At this time, the work of the royal family and the old Ministry of the Divine Court was handing over. Some elites of the Protoss still hoped to use this to make trouble, but unexpectedly, the people had already seen the truth. In the curtain call.
After everything was over, Ye Yan and Chong Li took the little prince to visit the queen.
The queen was not buried in the royal cemetery, but slept on a hillside not far from the Amber River, where you can overlook the most beautiful Moon Bay in the Amber River. There are wild flowers all over the mountain in spring and summer, and maple leaves and snow in autumn and winter. Jia and Ye Yan hoped that she could return to her roots in a quiet place.
"It seems that very few people come here."
The stone steps up the mountain were covered with fallen leaves, and they creaked when stepped on. The little prince took the hands of his fathers and carefully stepped on the stone steps to climb up.
"I don't want anyone to bother her."
Chong Li asked: "Does Your Majesty not come here often?"
Ye Yan said: "I'm not sure, maybe I won't tell me when I come."
Apart from business affairs, Ye Yan and Ye Jia still don't communicate much in private. They have solved some knots, but there are some things that can never be let go, let alone irreversible.
The old lady guarding the tomb was the queen's maid, and when she saw Ye Yan coming, she was overjoyed; "Your Highness, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Mrs. Susan."
Mrs. Susan lived in Amber River for a long time, and she rarely left here except to visit her children. This was the first time she saw Chong Li and Ye Xi, and she was pleasantly surprised: "This is the Crown Princess and the Young Highness?"
Chong Li didn't reject the word "Prince Princess". The old woman in front of her was covered with hoarfrost, which made people feel close: "Mrs. Susan, hello."
He shook the little prince's hand, the little prince hid behind Chong Li's thigh, he was a little shy.
"Say hi to Mrs. Susan."
The little prince poked his head out and glanced at Mrs. Susan, and then at Chong Li.
Chong Li patted his little head to encourage him.
"Hello~"
The little prince's voice was tender and milky, and Mrs. Susan liked it very much: "Oh, your little Highness is so cute, His Majesty the Queen will definitely like it very much."
Ye Yan asked: "How are you doing recently?"
Mrs. Susan said: "His Majesty the Emperor came here twice a few days ago, and he stayed for a whole day—"
She glanced at Ye Yan and sighed: "After so many years, the murderers have finally been punished, and the queen can rest in peace."
"Ah."
Ye Yan nodded, without saying anything, he handed the little flower basket in his hand to the little prince: "Let's go, let's go see grandma."
Holding the small flower basket in his arms, the little prince staggered towards the garden not far away, and the queen was sleeping deep in the garden, without any other extra decorations, only a small marble tombstone engraved with "Love is Eternal".
The little prince put the little flower basket in front of the tombstone, and looked back at Ye Yan and Chong Li.
"Call grandma."
The little prince called grandma obediently.
Although he didn't understand why there was only one stone tablet in front of him, he liked it very much. The fragrance of flowers and sunshine here always reminded him of the grandmother who taught the maid to sing in the garden in the video.
"Mom, Chong Li and I brought our baby to see you."
"Mom, it's the first time we meet, I'm Chong Li."
Ye Yan glanced at Chong Li in surprise. After they got married, Chong Li never changed his name to Ye Jia when he saw Ye Jia.
Chong Li didn't respond to Ye Yan's doubts, he squatted down and straightened the small flower basket that the little prince had placed crookedly.
"Love is forever."
Chong Li saw the epitaph on the tombstone.
"I thought Mom's epitaph would be a little bigger."
Ye Yan also squatted down: "For example?"
Chong Li thought for a while; "I don't know what to say, but my mother has done things that many people, including you and me, including Your Majesty, have not done. She is really a visionary and an amazing woman. women."
Ye Yan said: "If it weren't for her, I would still be dawdling now. Haimenxing doesn't know what it is like now."
Chong Li said: "That's why the people of Haimenxing love her very much."
Ye Yan said: "It's a pity that she died too early. She didn't have to be like this."
Ye Yan closed his eyes, with a painful expression on his face: "So——I will never forgive him."
Chong Li tentatively said: "Perhaps, mother doesn't care so much about life and death?"
Ye Yan has always been unable to let go of the queen's death. When the queen's case was retried some time ago, he often sat alone on the roof late at night and smoked.
During that time, Chong Li heard from the maid that Ye Jia often stayed in the study in the middle of the night and did not come out.
It's just that Ye Yan will not confront Ye Jia like he was when he was a teenager. His status is getting higher and higher, and he has begun to understand that people in high places are actually involuntary, and it is more difficult to bear the burden of humiliation than to be crushed to pieces.
But he still couldn't forgive Ye Jia, and his caring mentality became more and more serious since the last time he destroyed the wormhole.
Ye Yan held Chong Li's hand: "I understand what you mean."
Chong Li said: "So, don't worry too much about it. Now that the imperial court has been destroyed, the human race is no longer under control, Haimen is peaceful, and you will succeed. All the queen's dreams have come true, and she will rest in peace."
"But I can't, I can't do it, I can't watch the person I like leave me."
Ye Yan didn't seem to hear Chong Li's words, Chong Li shook his hand: "I won't leave, what are you thinking?"
He wondered if Ye Yan's pressure increased sharply because of the imminent succession, so that Ye Yan was brought into Ye Jia's role and fell into sadness and pain.
Unexpectedly, the next sentence shocked Chong Li.
"Next year I will send troops to Xinghai."
