C208 The will of the Head Guard

The will of the captain of the guards.

"I am not Your Highness, I am just a ghost that has crawled up from the depths of hell. You can call me Young Master Ghost. " Ye Tian looked at the captain of the guards who was kneeling in front of him. From his expression just now, it was clear. This guard captain was loyal to Royal Mother, but Ye Tian still did not understand who this guard captain was. He remembered that Royal Mother had never mentioned this person to him. In just ten years, he could tell that the guard captain was loyal to Royal Mother just by cleaning this palace.

"Your Highness. . . No, Your Highness Young Master Ghost, you are still alive. Doesn't that mean. . . The captain of the guards raised his head and looked at Ye Tian with anticipation.

Ye Tian looked at the hope in his eyes and shook his head lightly. " Although we did not die in that fire, Although the poison in my body was cured later on. . . However, Royal Mother's body could not support it. In the second year after leaving the Imperial Palace, Royal Mother left me. However, when she left, she was very serene. It was probably because she had let go of the distracting thoughts of this mortal world. " Ye Tian simply stated the facts.

"I didn't expect it to be like this. Did Imperial Consort Rong still go?" A trace of unconcealable grief appeared on the guard captain's face. The originally glimmer of hope disappeared in the end.

Ye Tian saw that the guard captain was still in his thoughts, and turned around to sit on a chair at the side. He observed the guard captain.

"Your majesty, I. . . " The guard captain looked at Ye Tian and did not know what to say for a moment.

"Alright, stand up first. I am not used to people talking to me like this. Can you tell me who you are? And why are you here? " Ye Tian looked at the guard captain and asked the question in his heart.

The guard captain stood up under Ye Tian's instructions and also began to answer Ye Tian's question. The name of the guard captain in front of him was Kong Lade. It started when Kong Lade was seventeen. At that time, Ye Rong had just been married from Huaxia to the Empire for less than a year and was very loved by the Emperor. She was constantly favored. Before Ye Rong could live in this palace that was like a cold palace, She was also the most favoured concubine in the Cadillera Palace, and she was infinitely rewarded.

Kong Lade was born in a declining aristocratic family. However, he was also a hot-blooded youth, and through his own efforts, he became a new guard in the palace. However, at that time, Kong Lade was only filled with hot-blooded blood. He didn't know that in this palace, the survival of a small guard needed to be careful.

The young and hot-tempered Kong Lade had accidentally offended the First Prince. At that time, the situation was very critical. The First Prince wanted his subordinates to kill Kong Lade. In the end, Imperial Consort Rong, who just happened to pass by, saved this guard who was on the verge of death. Although Ye Rong herself did not care, Ye Rong's actions had completely won the loyalty of this little guard.

Kong Lade had been paying attention to Imperial Consort Rong, hoping that one day he could repay her. But at that time, One was a small guard in the Imperial Palace that could not be any smaller, and the other was a big consort that was favored. It was also impossible for the two of them to have any interactions. After this incident, Kong Lade also became determined to become stronger. Thus, he volunteered to participate in a secret operation at that time. However, he didn't expect that he would be gone for a year. When he returned, The little guard had also become a level 3 guard. In the Imperial Palace, not everyone could bully. However, when Kong Lade returned to the Imperial Palace, he discovered that Imperial Consort Rong, who had once been doted on by countless people, was in a hurry. She had even moved to a palace that was as remote as the Cold Palace.

After asking around, Kong Lade found out about it about a month ago. Someone had found some strange things in Rongfei's palace, saying that Imperial Consort Rong used magic. She was cursing the Emperor. At that time, the entire Imperial Palace was shocked, and the Emperor was also furious. In a fit of anger, although he did not beat Imperial Consort Rong into the Cold Palace, But it was almost the same as the Cold Palace. Even if they later found out that Imperial Consort Rong was pregnant, Your Majesty also turned a blind eye to it.

Of course, Kong Lade would not believe such a kind person. Kong Lade was no longer the ignorant child he used to be. One year of living outside had also allowed Kong Lade to quickly grow up from a young man to an adult. He also slowly understood the Imperial Palace. But the more he understood, the more he felt the terror of the Imperial Palace. He secretly investigated all kinds of things about Imperial Consort Rong. It made Kong Lade believe that Imperial Consort Rong was framed, but all the evidence was well hidden. Kong Lade tried his best, but he still couldn't find any suspicious points. At that time, Kong Lade was already a level 3 guard. He was still too weak.

Kong Lade worked even harder to train himself, from a level 3 guard to a level 2 guard. From a level 2 guard to a level 1 guard. In the end, he finally got the Emperor's recognition and entered the Emperor's personal guards. Two years later, Kong Lade became the deputy captain of the personal guards. Later, he became the vice captain of the entire Imperial City's guards. He was not someone to be underestimated. He became the fastest rising guard in the Imperial City. Just as Kong Lade thought that he finally had the strength to investigate what happened back then, A merciless fire had changed everything.

Kong Lade watched the fire burn in front of him for a day and night. The hatred and guilt in his heart was indescribable. Initially, he thought it was an accident. He had been depressed for a long time. But looking at the only survivor who managed to escape from the fire, Imperial Consort Rong's most trusted palace maid Qiao'er, miraculously, she took one step at a time, and in the end, replaced Imperial Consort Rong. She became the Eldest Imperial Concubine and even lived in the palace where Imperial Consort Rong was favoured in the past. All of this made the doubt in Kong Lade's heart grow bigger and bigger.

Hence, he began to suspect that the fire back then was not an accident, but Qiao'er's doing. Imperial Consort Rong was betrayed by the person she trusted the most. What happened after that made Kong Lade's guess even more firm, so he was more proactive in expressing himself. In the end, he obtained the Emperor's affirmation and became the chief guard of the Imperial City's Royal Guards. He was in charge of the safety of the entire Imperial City and the Imperial City. At that time, Kong Lade was only 27 years old. For a time, it was a glorious scene. After all, Kong Lade only used ten years. From a nameless little guard, he finally became the captain of the entire Royal City's Royal Guards. He became a new member of the imperial family. An existence with a bright future. One had to know that many guards might only be a small guard for decades. There were so many guards in the entire Imperial City and Imperial Capital, but only Kong Lade was able to climb up from a small guard without any rank.

Ten years had passed since the fire, and Kong Lade was already thirty-four years old. But his career achievements did not make him give up his initial goal. He had been searching for evidence of Imperial Consort Rong's death, but he did not save anything from the fire.

"Kong Lade, I have received your will. Although I, Royal Mother, have let go, as the son of Royal Mother, I will not let go of the person who framed me, Royal Mother. I will not let go of any of them, Kong Lade George. Are you willing to follow me to complete this banquet of revenge? "

Ye Tian looked at Kong Lade and was indeed slightly touched by him. The unintentional matter of Royal Mother all those years ago had completely changed a person's fate. Many a time. Fate was truly a strange existence. Just how strong and strong was the will that allowed Kong Lade to walk all the way from a little guard to this day? Ye Tian admired this person in front of him.

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Kong Lade became excited. In his life, he had long given his loyalty to Ye Rong. Now, Ye Rong was no longer there. In Kong Lade's opinion, the best person to pledge loyalty to was this person in front of him, Imperial Consort Rong's son. His Highness Fifteenth Prince of the Empire. Kong Lade believed that by following this young man in front of him, he would definitely be able to accomplish something that he had not been able to accomplish for many years.

"This subordinate, Kong Lade George, will follow His Highness to the death!" Kong Lade expressed his stance emotionally.

From Kong Lade's mouth, Ye Tian knew a lot of insider information that he did not know. Although Ye Tian knew the rough details of what had happened to Royal Mother, there were still many things that he didn't know in detail. After so many years, he still hadn't found out the truth. After all, the royal family was different from other places. The people of the Hidden World wanted to enter the royal family within a short period of time. There were still many difficulties.

Just like in the past, Ye Tian was not very clear who set the fire and who was the one who ordered him behind Qiao'er's back. Although Thirteenth Prince knew that this matter had something to do with Worthy Lady Hua, He was afraid that the person who knew the truth of the matter was. . . There were only a few people involved. Ye Tian wanted to take revenge for Ye Rong. The most important thing right now was to find out the true culprit of this incident, Imperial Consort Dia. Worthy Lady Hua's name was already on Ye Tian's death list, but Ye Tian knew that there were still some people hiding behind the scenes who hadn't come out yet. Ye Tian wasn't going to let any of them escape.

The legend of the haunted palace was also explained by Kong Lade. It turned out that Kong Lade didn't want anyone to disturb Imperial Consort Rong and the prince's peace, so he created the illusion that there was a ghost here. Kong Lade would come here to sit and clean the place if he had the chance. This was a place where Kong Lade could relax his body and mind.

Kong Lade couldn't stay here for long, so after talking to Ye Tian for a while, Go back to work. Ye Tian left the palace as well. Today was a fruitful day for him. At least, he had found a capable helper. He also knew some things that he didn't know before, just like a puzzle. The things that happened to Ye Rong in the past gradually became complete in Ye Tian's mind.

It was almost midnight. Ye Tian, who was strolling in the garden behind the palace, was ready to leave like this. However, he noticed some small sounds coming from not far away. Ye Tian's curiosity was rarely aroused, so he followed them to take a look.

He saw a few figures moving by a small pond in the back garden. They were holding something in their hands. A person's figure completely attracted Ye Tian's attention. He looked at the beautiful lady dressed in fine clothing. Ye Tian's eyes flashed with a killing intent that made people tremble. Because that beautiful lady was Ye Tian's aunt Qiao'er, whom he hadn't seen for ten years. The current Imperial Consort Dia.
