Although Ye Qing didn't know about the Night Blossom appearing at the banquet, Yi Huan's fall into the water caused quite a stir. They were hiding in the small bamboo forest in the backyard of the Grand Dominance Manor, waiting for news. They didn't want to hear it, so they could hear it.
Thinking back and forth, Ye Qing stood up with a cupped fist and said, "I'll go take a look."
By the way, he wanted to meet Li Chengjun. Ye Qing was sure that Li Chengjun was one of the two men following them. As for the others, although he was not sure, he still felt a sense of déjà vu. He seemed to have worked together for many years.
But who? Ye Qing frowned in thought. In the past, when he had left the underworld depressed and alone, none of his close friends had been able to give him such a familiar feeling.
Ji Wu Ye carelessly stroked the chess piece with his right hand and laughed: "It's time to change the person in charge of this game."
Ji Wu Ye changed unpredictably, and Ye Qing couldn't guess who the person he was talking about was. He nodded and left. No matter who it was, he would personally pull out the hand that was playing tricks on him!
In the end, Ya Xiang's lips moved, but he didn't say anything else. Since she was under Luo Lingwei's jurisdiction now, she could not reveal anything that she did not want Ji Wu Ye to know.
Luo Lingwei clearly knew that Ji Wu Ye had a way to cure Ye Lianhe's poison, but she didn't find him to help. It was very obvious that she did not plan to have any further interactions with Ji Wu Ye.
Ji Wu Ye was someone from the previous dynasty. She and her sister had been raised by him and couldn't understand his thoughts. What's more, she was the daughter of an old friend he met on his way home.
"You should go too, otherwise you won't be able to make it." Ji Wu Ye supported himself with his chin and slowly closed his eyes, dozing off without a care. A light breeze blew across the empty bamboo forest.
"Scram, all of you get the hell out!" Ye Lianhe pushed his spirit back all the way as he felt a surge of vital energy and blood rushing to his head. He tried his best to restrain his roiling fury, but was still unable to do so.
The gatekeepers were all frightened. They were afraid that they would anger Ye Lianhe and drag him down to chop off his head. "Yes, yes, yes. Prince, please calm your anger."
Ye Lianhe stared at the servants rolling away with bloodshot eyes. Because of the Gu worm's effect, he could not control his emotions and no one trusted him.
The source of the nocturnal flowers is the entry point to everything. Ye Lianhe held onto the sword hilt, sealed the moving Gu worm on his arm and summoned the hidden guard, "Go check! Exactly who put in the Night Flower! "
The dark guards were the soldiers he had saved on the battlefield. They were mostly orphans or soldiers who had been pushed aside. They were all fearless outlaws, and for the time being, Nightingale could only trust them. The leader of the Dark Guard was a man in his thirties. He looked average and had a hideous scar on his face. It was like a vicious centipede, lying on its face from the top of its head.
In a split-second after receiving the order, the dark guard disappeared from the corridor.
When Minister Hu arrived at Nightingale's study and was about to enter, he suddenly heard a sound from the room. He couldn't help but slow down his steps.
From the study came the tinkling sound of porcelain being smashed, and the sound of men's uncontrollable rage. The fox-like Minister Hu stood quietly for a while, then he heard Ye Lianhe's voice. Something was obviously wrong, as his vital energy and blood were surging as if he was heavily injured.
He quietly turned around and left. It seemed like Yen Lianhe might not be a suitable partner to work with. He might even become a clay buddha that was unable to save himself.
"This …"
Madam Hu's face darkened as she listened to her husband's analysis.
He had to let His Majesty know as soon as possible, or else the consequences would be dire.
On the surface, Madam Hu's personality was that of a normal and mediocre woman. Her husband and children had been circling around her all day, so there was no meaning to it. In fact, the insides were the first batch of people that Ye Feihan had secretly groomed.
She was born at court and relied on Ye Feihan's mother, the empress dowager, Ning Hui Xian, to lead her step by step to the head of the court. The empress dowager died before the late emperor died. His Majesty endured the humiliation and hardships, so she voluntarily acted as a spy to provide information for Ye Feihan.
It had been nearly ten years now.
At present, Madam Hu suspected that Ye Feian betrayed both Ye Feihan and the Queen's alliance, but she did not have any evidence to prove it. Since Minister Hu had said that the night before the banquet, Lianhe was in the wrong, then it was definitely not without reason.
The husband and wife had been together for more than twenty years. She clearly knew how much ability Minister Hu had. He was acutely aware of the situation in the middle of the court, otherwise he would not have been able to climb up to the throne from a country boy.
What Madam Hu was worried about was that if Nightingale were to get into trouble now, her Majesty's situation would become even more dangerous.
The reason why His Majesty allowed Ye Feian to bounce around and let the Regent control the imperial government was not just because he lacked the ability to do so. He wanted to take this opportunity to catch the mastermind in one fell swoop.
After some thought, Madam Hu stood up and knocked on the windowsill. Minister Hu thought that Madam Hu was worried about Hu Rong, so he softly sighed and held the back of Madam Hu's hand. "Don't worry. I will take care of everything."
The bloodshed of his ancestors had made him cautious, but for the sake of his wife and two daughters he could not back down this time. He had managed the imperial court for many years, so he naturally had his own eyes. Madam Hu was from Ye Feihan, so how could he not have noticed? However, Ye Lianhe was not suitable to be a monarch. He was neither ruthless nor venomous. He could not resist Ye Lianhe at all. In fact, some things were even better than not being able to fly during the night. All these years, everyone had been paying attention to him. If Ye Lianhe wanted the throne, he would have long been surrounded by people who wanted to be the Carefree King.
Before he married Madam Hu, Minister Hu understood her past. She wanted to help Ye Feihan, but he had worked for Ye Feihan for nearly twenty years, yet it was still not enough? Even their daughters. He wanted to ask Mrs. Hu what she had done wrong, and what she was doing now, trapped in the harem, innocent and unable to live. Enduring the vicissitudes of the Queen's life...
Hu Jin was the first child of Minister Hu, and also his most beloved daughter. It was a pity that Hu Jin couldn't do it now, since Hu Rong wasn't suitable for entering the palace.
His little daughter, Hu Ning, was born of his concubine, who was bought by Madam Hu.
However …
"How is Ah Ning doing now?" Minister Hu asked with an unfriendly expression on his face.
This little girl was born to be rich, and ever since they had opened the capital, she had begun to vomit and vomit. When they arrived at Peace City, they even started a high fever, refusing to use any medicinal pills.
Madam Hu facepalmed. "He still hasn't woken up."
This little girl, Hu Ning, had failed at such a crucial moment. She had initially wanted to find a suitable opportunity to send Hu Ning to the Imperial Palace. He didn't expect the little girl to have a high fever on the same day and continue spouting nonsense. It was unknown where the fortune-teller came from, but she said that she had a bad year and was only suitable to rest or else she would rush to the other people in the mansion.
