Ye Jinxiu didn't think too much about her father's worries. She only waited for the day when Little Rong returned to her home.

Xiao Rong'er was also extremely happy to be back, although she was still the same as before the marriage, she didn't look any more mature. After Father Rong said a few words to her, she pouted and ran over to chat with Ye Jinsu.

As he looked at his father, his heart tightened.

Ye Jinsu didn't pay attention to where her father was, and continued to chat with Little Rong'er. After just a few words, Xiao Rong'er was sent away for a variety of reasons.

After a while, Ye Jinsu finally understood what her father meant and felt even more helpless now.

Ning Yunyin was overjoyed. He was not interested in matters of both family background and short term. He was out there all by himself, admiring the snow and drinking tea.

Ye Jinxiu might as well go and find him.

"If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid that your father will fall apart." Ye Jinsu said.

Ning Yunyin didn't say a word. She merely took two sips of her hot tea and handed over an item.

Ye Jinxiu looked carefully and her expression immediately turned serious. She extended her hand to receive it.

There was only one message on this note: "Consort De is dead."

"So hasty …" Ye Jinsu was a bit speechless.

Everyone knew that Consort De couldn't possibly let her live well after what she had done. But Ye Jinsu did not expect the emperor to act so quickly!

Did this mean that he really didn't have much time left, and that he needed to finish everything as soon as possible?

Ye Jinxiu opened her eyes and looked at Ning Yunyin, but Ning Yunyin only frowned slightly as she looked in front of her.

"It was sent last night."

"It would take at least five days for the news to spread from the capital to the town outside. It would take at least half a day to fly in from the town outside." Ning Yunyin softly asked. This meant that Consort De had already died a few days ago.

Ye Jinsu's eyes widened as she suddenly thought back to what Ning Yunxiao had told her earlier, that Consort De had a good relationship with the thirteenth prince.

Now that Consort De was dead, what about the thirteenth prince?

"What will happen in the capital?" Ye Jinsu looked at him and asked.

Ning Yunyin lowered her head and poured a cup of tea for Ye Jinsu before speaking indifferently, "Nothing will happen."

Ye Jinsu was a bit confused.

"It's just that it won't happen now. A hundred years from now, there will be endless hidden dangers." Ning Yunyin said with a slightly sunken voice. The Emperor is not dead yet, and all they have done is to act in secret.

Everyone only had one goal now, and that was to wait for the Emperor to die.

So even if they did, it would be to push things down until he died. He really didn't care about the court matters anymore. He didn't care about any situations or hidden dangers.

He didn't care about what happened after he died. He would just let those people fight for it.

Since he was going to die anyway, he would let others clean up the mess.

Ye Jinsu was speechless.

Ning Yunyin let out a light sigh. The snow outside was still falling.

Xiao Rong'er came out from the house and walked to the backyard. She looked at Ning Yunyin and said, "Big Brother Ning, there seems to be someone looking for you in the front yard."

Ye Jinsu was stunned for a moment. "Who?"

Xiao Rong'er's face fell, and said with some regret: "I don't know him, he seems to be from Beijing."

The complexions of both Ye Jinsu and Ning Yunyin changed.

Ye Jinsu stood up and said to Little Rong'er, "Take me to see him first. Your Brother Ning isn't feeling too well. Let him rest for a while."

Xiao Rong'er didn't understand what Ye Jinsu meant.

Why was he still blowing cold air in the backyard when his body was not in a good condition?

However, Ye Jinsu didn't give Xiao Rong'er a chance to think about it. She pulled Xiao Rong'er along and went out. There were indeed a few people in the front yard, brought here by the local villagers.

Ye Jinxiu followed Little Rong'er over just in time to see a few people dressed in common clothes. They were holding a portrait of Ning Yunyin in their hands. They were all unfamiliar faces that Ye Jinsu had never seen before.

"Who are you?" Ye Jinsu looked at them and asked.

When the group of people saw Ye Jinsu's appearance, they were stunned for a moment before taking out another portrait. That was a portrait of Ye Jinsu. When the person opened it to compare, his face instantly changed.

"May I ask if it's Miss Ye?" That person knelt on the ground and asked.

This posture made the villagers, who had brought people here, somewhat confused.

Ye Jinsu looked at the surroundings, then looked at the others and said, "Come in with me."

They didn't have many people, only three. Ye Jinshu brought his men into the house. Xiao Rong'er wanted to follow him in, but her father stopped her.

Inside the room, Ye Jinsu looked at the three of them and asked, "Who are you?"

"We are the Grand Princess's men."

If that's the case...

Ye JinSu rubbed her temples and asked, "How did you find this place?"

This village was located deep in the mountains, and there were many fierce and ferocious beasts. Ordinary people would never come here. If Ye Jinsu hadn't met Xiao Rong'er at that time, she would never have been able to find this place in her life.

"This …" The three of them looked at each other, but didn't answer Ye Jinsu's question. Instead, they asked what they wanted to know, "We're here to look for His Highness, can we meet His Highness Ning Wang?"

Ye Jinsu didn't know how to reply.

"How can I believe that you are the Grand Princess's men?" Ye Jinsu asked.

The three of them were stunned for a moment. Then, they pulled something out from their waists. It was actually an order from the Grand Princess. Ye Jinsu looked at it with a complicated expression on her face.

"I understand. Wait here for a moment …" Ye Jinsu put down the imperial edict and prepared to ask Ning Yunyin if she wanted to see him.

However, before she could reach the door, Ning Yunyin pushed it open and entered.

"I was careless. I didn't expect you guys to come here." Ning Yunxiao looked at the three of them and spoke as he pushed open the door.

Ye Jinsu looked at him and continued to sit down.

The three of them quickly knelt down in salute and said, "It is not easy for this subordinate to look for His Highness. If the Grand Princess knew that His Highness was doing well, she would definitely be overjoyed!"

Ning Yunyin leaned forward and sat down. She tapped the back of the chair with her fingertips and asked, "How did you find them?"

"The bird that delivers the message flies south, and every now and then brings back some green leaves. It was winter and the only place with green leaves was this mountain. Subordinate has already checked the shallow areas outside, and has no other choice but to send people to investigate them one by one deep in the mountains. "

Although this was also a clue, it was far too stupid. The mountains were so big, how long would it take to find them?

What made them lock onto the direction was something else.

"In addition, we found out from the town that Miss Ye had once ordered clothes for a large sum of money in the town. After checking out the people involved, I found out that the person accompanying Miss Ye is a hunter of this mountain. "

Knowing this, it was easy to find someone.

Ye Jinsu stayed in the same place where the birds would land. In addition, Ye Jinxiu had come to find Ning Yunxiao, so it wasn't hard to imagine that they would be staying together.

Ye Jinshu was slightly startled, then he remembered that his actions back then had been a bit too high-profile.

However, at that time, she didn't know that the Grand Princess was outside.

"Your subordinate is here to escort your highness Ning Wang back to the capital. I invite your highness Ning Wang to follow me!" One of them solemnly said as he knelt on one knee.

Ye Jinxiu turned her head to look at Ning Yunyin.

After a moment of silence, Ning Yun asked, "What's the situation in the capital?"

"Concubine De has been granted death. Also, the Marquis Lu seems to be a bit unstable." The latter, as instructed by the Grand Princess, was not written in the letter. In fact, because Ning Yunyin had been cut off from the world, the duke of Lu suspected that she was still alive.

If he was already dead, then there was no need for him to keep his previous promise.
