The refugees rushed towards Yan Ye's home in a seemingly random manner. However, Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao, who had experienced many battles in the battlefield, quickly realised that something was wrong among the group of refugees.

After Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao discovered this, Yan Ye also instantly found out.

"It seems that this matter is really someone else's doing." Although Yan Ye said that, in his heart, he was almost certain that Ye Jingde was the one doing it.

Otherwise, at this time, who would come looking for trouble and deal with him?

It was just that he was extremely curious as to why Ye Jingde had such a network.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Ye also casually asked.

"Brother-in-law, did you forget that his birth mother's family used to have military power? It's said that her birth mother was the daughter of a rich businessman."

Ye Shuo was clear about this matter. After all, he was Ye Jingxing's son, so he had a certain level of understanding towards Ye Jingde, the person his father was normally concerned about.

Ye Jingde's mother was a Shu daughter, and his maternal grandfather's family was a merchant. Although they were not as rich as Jiang Han's family, it was still possible for them to give some silver to Ye Jingde to raise a group of people.

Moreover, Ye Jingde had been unremarkable for so many years. No one knew what he had done in private during that time.

Hearing Ye Shuo's words, Yan Ye suddenly sighed: "He really isn't a qualified monarch."

Although Yan Ye did not say it clearly, Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao both knew that he was referring to the Emperor Ruikang who had just passed away.

With regards to the Emperor Ruikang, Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao didn't have much to say, so they could only listen to Yan Ye's complaints.

Even though they felt that Yan Ye was quite right.

However, this topic did not continue for long, because after the news from the rear courtyard arrived, Xu Yanhao took the initiative to bring a group of people to the rear courtyard, leaving the front of the group to Yan Ye and Ye Shuo.

There were a lot of refugees who tried to attack Yan Ye's family, but no matter how many refugees there were, they were still not a match for the people in Yan Ye's family's courtyard.

Not to mention rushing in to snatch something, even the door could not be pushed open.

As for trying to climb over the wall?

Yan Ye's group of brothers who had followed him for many years each had a thick wooden stick. As long as anyone stuck their head out, they would immediately and ruthlessly hit them.

There were also those who were about to successfully climb over the wall, but before they could get excited, the guards behind the wooden sticks quickly tied them up.

Yan Ye and Ye Shuo have not moved until now because they did not see Ye Jingde.

Even the people whom they had noticed to be no ordinary refugees did not rush to the front. Thus, they were not in a hurry at all.

Only, they still did not understand Ye Jingde. Ye Jingde was not in front, but in the backyard of Yan Ye's house.

Ye Jingde's main target was Xu Yanzhu in the first place, so he knew that Yan Ye cared about him and knew that Xu Yanzhu had a good relationship with him. If he could successfully kidnap or kill Xu Yanzhu, then he might be able to successfully drive Yan Ye crazy and make his Xu Family sad.

As for the Ye Jingxing in the palace …

If Yan Ye was crazy, Empress Dowager Hu would definitely be unhappy, and if Xu Yanzhu was really dead, then Xu Family was definitely unhappy, and if Xu Family was not happy, Xu Nuanwen would definitely not be happy either.

Even they were unhappy, but did Ye Jingxing still want to go with the flow?

Now, Ye Jingde no longer wanted to pull Ye Jingxing down, he only wanted to take revenge.

Why!

What right do you have to have a mother who watched you grow up, and my birth mother is not only nameless today, she was even sent to a mother and left behind?

Why are you able to ascend the throne and become the emperor? I will bow my head to you and serve you for the rest of my life.

Why are your family and friends so blessed, while my family can only secretly interact with me, and the ladies of the mansion look down on me?

Am I worse than you?

Can't I do these things well?

No, you didn't give me a chance at all!

It's that Royal Father who favors everyone, and completely disregards his son!

That's why I want revenge. If I don't have the chance to kill you, then I will make you miserable!

The current Ye Jingde still looked no different from before, but he had indeed become a madman.

Just when Xu Yanhao who was in the backyard felt that there were a lot of people in the backyard and his strength was a little off, Ye Shuo and Yan Ye who were in the front courtyard also realized that something was wrong.

Although the people in the front yard continued to rush in, the ones that actually charged in front were the refugees. Those who seemed to have problems didn't seem to have any intention of charging forward.

This discovery caused Yan Ye and Ye Shuo's hearts to tremble. After the two of them looked at each other, Yan Ye said to Ye Shuo with tacit understanding, "This place is for you to handle, I will go and take a look at the back."

Ye Shuo also understood what was going on, so he nodded his head, and watched as Yan Ye led the few of them and quickly left.

When Yan Ye quickly arrived at the wall of the backyard, he immediately noticed that something was amiss.

The people who wanted to rush into his house from the backyard were no ordinary refugees; they had undergone training.

Although it was inferior to Iron Eagle Brigade, it was at least not inferior to the other ordinary soldiers of the capital.

Most importantly, not only were there people among them, there were also many oil cans and weapons that Yan Ye did not have.

"Yanhao, I will bring my men to guard this place. You take your men and destroy those sparks."

At this time, Yan Ye's backyard was already in a mess, the originally meticulously tended garden was already ruined. The most important thing was that even though there was a pond in the backyard, the oil cans that were thrown in had still burned quite a few things in Yan Ye's backyard.

When Xu Yanhao heard Yan Ye's words, he did not move. Instead, he paused and looked at Yan Ye: "Brother-in-law, why don't you bring some people to extinguish the fire? You conveniently went to take a look at Big Sister Yanzhu, I think she will worry about you." With that, Xu Yanhao rushed towards a man who had successfully climbed over the wall and entered the room.

Of course, Yan Ye could guess that Xu Yanzhu was worried about him, but this was her home, it was not right for her to let her two brother-in-law stay here and help her protect her.

Even though he thought that, with all the commotion happening outside, he still decided to go back and take a look at Xu Yanzhu. If both Xu Yanzhu and her grandmother were fine, then he would come and take Xu Yanhao to rest for a while.

Yan Ye thought well in his heart, and without further ado, he quickly arranged for his bros to protect Xu Yanhao, and then turned around and walked towards the courtyard Empress Dowager Hu lived in.

Yan Ye made a few guesses in his heart, and felt that with his grandmother's personality, she should be able to keep Xu Yanzhu in her courtyard to protect him.

Yan Ye had guessed right, Xu Yanzhu was indeed being protected by Empress Dowager Hu in her own courtyard. When Yan Ye had just arrived outside the courtyard, he had already seen that many of the hidden secret guards had already turned dark and were standing guard at the sides of the courtyard.

Seeing that there were so many people guarding this place, Yan Ye heaved a sigh of relief.

When Yan Ye walked closer to the house, before Xu Yanzhu and Empress Hu could ask him, he took the initiative to tell him about the situation in the front and rear courtyard.

The most important thing was the situation in the backyard, as well as his guess that Ye Jingde most likely wanted to attack from the backyard. Entering the front yard was just a possibility.

Empress Dowager Hu also nodded slightly after hearing Yan Ye's words. She felt that the probability of this happening was still very high.

"Seeing that Grandmother's arrangement is good, I can finally relax." After saying that, just as Yan Ye was about to concern himself with Xu Yanzhu and leave, he saw a servant carrying a tray, with a medicine bowl on top of it, walking towards Xu Yanzhu.

He frowned, puzzled, and quickly walked to Xu Yanzhu's side. Just as he was about to ask Xu Yanzhu, Xu Yanzhu had already smiled and looked at him, "It's because I'm a little worried that you and Yanhao might be a little unstable. Grandmother asked the doctor to take my pulse and prescribe some medicine to calm my child and calm my mind. It's fine. "

Saying that, Xu Yanzhu was about to take the initiative to receive the bowl of medicine and drink it, but before she could extend her hand towards the bowl, Yan Ye had already extended his hand towards the bowl.

Looking at Yan Ye's actions, Xu Yanzhu smiled. She was about to say that she was really fine.

But before she could open her mouth, she saw the servant woman holding a tray of food coming over. She had a smile on her face as she watched Yan Ye's actions, and in the next moment, a sharp dagger slipped out of her sleeve and directly stabbed towards Yan Ye's chest without hesitation.

Almost subconsciously, Xu Yanzhu charged towards Yan Ye.

After sensing the servant's actions, Yan Ye was already prepared, but he never thought that Xu Yanzhu would ignore everything and pounce towards him.

While Xu Yanzhu fell to the ground due to her injuries, he chose the former without hesitation. However, the servant woman who wielded the dagger did not give him the chance to choose.

So this servant was only faking it for a moment. When Xu Yanzhu pounced towards her, she didn't pause at all, directly turning to the side and stabbing the dagger into Xu Yanzhu's back.

Although in the next moment, she was kicked away by Yan Ye and was immediately dislocated by his lower jaw and arms, she was still able to successfully stab the dagger into Xu Yanzhu's body.

When Xu Yanzhu felt the pain behind him, she still wanted to say that she was alright. However, before she could even open her mouth, Cui Hua, who had been rushing over to protect her, suddenly exclaimed, "The dagger is poisonous!"

The moment he confirmed that the dagger was poisonous, Yan Ye panicked.

If Xu Yanzhu was just simply stabbed, she might as well not have this child. Then, he would have to ask the doctor to treat Xu Yanzhu to the best of her abilities.

Unfortunately, the dagger was poisonous.

After the two senior doctors who lived in the nearby courtyard were invited and confirmed that the poison in the dagger was not easy to cure, the already confused Xu Yanzhu opened her mouth and said weakly: "Protect my child, Brother Yan, I want my child." After saying that, Xu Yanzhu weakly closed her eyes.

When he saw that Xu Yanzhu had closed her eyes, he looked at the two doctors fiercely and said, "Quickly detoxify the poison!"

Yan Ye also wanted this child, especially after he returned from the capital. Every two or three days, he would personally feel the movements of the child in Xu Yanzhu's stomach.

Although he and Xu Yanzhu's child were not lively, they were still the children that he had been waiting for.

However, facing such a choice, he still chose Xu Yanzhu.

The child could be taken again, but if Xu Yanzhu was gone, then there really was nothing left.

The two doctors clearly heard Yan Ye's words, but after their diagnosis, they told Yan Ye that the poison could not be cured easily, but they could control the spread of the poison as soon as possible, so that Xu Yanzhu could successfully give birth to the child.

But if they did not care about their child, and only focused on saving Xu Yanzhu, they could not guarantee that they would be able to cure the poison. Maybe even their child and Xu Yanzhu would not be able to protect the poison in the end.

Of the two doctors, one was invited by Yan Ye before, the other was brought by Empress Dowager Hu from the capital.

The two of them had great courage, and their medical skills weren't bad either. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to say such words out loud.

But Yan Ye acted as if he did not hear what the two doctors said and insisted that they treat Xu Yanzhu's poison.

The moment the servant woman made her move, Empress Dowager Hu was frightened, until her grandson spoke to the doctor like a fool. Only then did she walk up two steps to Yan Ye and said, "Yan Er, you should listen to the doctor and protect your child first!"

It wasn't that Empress Dowager Hu didn't care about Xu Yanzhu at all, but she was calmer than Yan Ye.

At this time, the two doctors' words made a lot of sense. Otherwise, even the adults wouldn't be able to protect their children.

Yan Ye was also aware of this logic, but he was unwilling.

Cui Hua had been standing guard by Xu Yanzhu's side the entire time. Seeing that Yan Ye was still not willing to speak, he stomped his feet in anger and cried, "Young Master, did you hear what we, the young miss, had just said? Our girl said to protect the child! "

Cui Hua was anxious too, but she clearly remembered what Xu Yanzhu had said just now. Her eyes had long ago turned red from crying, and even tears hung on her face when she looked at Yan Ye.

But she clearly remembered something Third Young Master had said to her when she was selected to serve him.

'I have to listen to my like.'

Hearing Cui Hua's words, Yan Ye shut his eyes and opened them again, then said to the two doctors: "I'll have to trouble the two of you."

With Yan Ye's words, the two doctors immediately got busy.

One of them went to personally make the medicine, and the other started to give the acupuncture points to Xu Yanzhu. Not only did she have to control the poison in her body, she also had to ensure that the child was not affected by the poison.

The midwife had originally wanted to borrow's hand from the Sun family, but when Empress Dowager Hu came, she took over with full authority.

Now that Xu Yanzhu wanted to give birth, the two midwives picked out by Empress Dowager Hu quickly came here and began to adjust the position of the baby according to the pulse the doctor determined.

Xu Yanzhu was woken up by the pain, and after being woken up from the pain, she was fed a bowl of oxytocin, and then she opened her eyes and took a look at her current environment.

Seeing Cui Hua beside her, before she could even open her mouth to speak, Cui Hua had already quickly explained the situation.

When Cui Hua finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu smiled: "You did well." It was only a few words, but Xu Yanzhu still spent a lot of effort to finish speaking it. She paused for a long while before she took a breath, looked at Cui Hua and asked: "What about him?"

"Young Master has gone out, he won't rest until he catches Ye Jingde." After saying that, Cui Hua held it in for a while, and then cried out: "First Miss, your poison …."

"I know." Xu Yanzhu looked at Cui Hua's expression and knew what she was going to say, "Save the child, tell me, grandmother and Third Aunt, I don't regret anything."

Just as Xu Yanzhu finished speaking, the midwife said she could start preparing to give birth, saving Xu Yanzhu a bit of effort.

How could Xu Yanzhu have any strength left now? Even if the doctor had opened up an oxytocin and given her needles to seal her poison, she was still not as strong as the other mothers.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Hu brought a lot of expensive medicinal herbs with her. With the help of the two doctors, Xu Yanzhu gradually recovered some of his strength, but as his strength recovered, the poison in his body continued to corrode her body.

Yan Ye, on the other hand, had gone mad outside.

Originally, he had wanted to only kidnap these people and not kill them. He wanted to wait for the people from the capital to hand them over so that he would not violate the law and there would be nothing to say in the palace.

But now, he couldn't care so much, he only wanted to kill and kill Ye Jingde!

When Ye Jingde received the news that Yan Ye seemed to have gone crazy, he felt that his other plan might actually work.

He stood outside the backyard of Yan Ye's house and looked at the courtyard that was covered by a high wall. After he sneered, he turned to his trusted aide and said: "It's about time we go." Finished speaking, Ye Jingde continued to laugh: "Next, what if you chose that woman's hometown, the place called Xiahe Village?"

After Ye Jingde finished speaking, his trusted aide beside him did not respond, because he was clear that Master was not discussing things with him, but merely informing him.

"I heard that there are still many relatives in that woman's hometown. Back then, when Xu Family was there, she also received quite a bit of help."

Ye Jingde slowly said, a vengeful smile just spreading across his face, but who knew that in the next moment, Yan Ye, covered in blood, walked out of the back door with a sword in hand.

The moment they saw Yan Ye appear, their trusted aides standing beside Ye Jingde wanted to protect him and leave, but how could Yan Ye give them the chance to do so?

Ye Jingde, he's definitely going to kill him!
