Xue Ronghua looked at Xue Longhu's assured expression, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but slightly crack. The Lord Ye must have come over to tell Xue Longhu something unpleasant. Xue Yaohua's death was indeed a wound on his chest, and Ye Zhao was a dagger that cut his heart, if he did not abandon the Ye Family behind the dagger, another cut would be made on his heart.

"How can Lord Ye treat me like this? What did Rong Hua do wrong?" A teardrop fell down from the corner of Xue Ronghua's eyes.

Xue Longhu's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Not only did this person from Ye Residence cause Yao Hua's death, he also led Liuhua astray, and actually came to assassinate you."

Xue Ronghua took the opportunity to say, "Lord Ye … Could it be that the Lord Ye has some sort of scheme? "

These words happened to step right onto Xue Longhu's heart. In fact, there were many matters between him and the Lord Ye, but on account of the Madam Ye, he did not put this small matter in his eyes. But now that he thought about it, could it be that the Lord Ye wanted to borrow the power of the Madam Ye and Xue Liuhua to stir up a storm in his Xue Residence?

"If there's a conspiracy, then it's a bad thing."

Xue Ronghua looked like a filial daughter as she deeply held onto Xue Longhu's hand. "Father, there's only the two of us in the Xue Manor now, Big Sis is already standing with Lord Ye, Father must protect me."

Xue Longhu looked at the only daughter he could rely on beside him, and comforted her: "That's only natural, you're my own daughter, how can I not protect you well."

Xue Ronghua was concerned: "Then what about big sister?"

Xue Longhu was a little impatient, "Let her reflect on his own actions."

"Elder sister's handling of the situation is very good. I'm just afraid that if mother finds out about what elder sister did, it will affect her recovery."

Xue Longhu sighed in disappointment, "What kind of recovery is this? Your mother is so ill, it's hard for her to recover."

Xue Ronghua was nervous: "How could that be? Mother can still be saved. "

Xue Longhu knew that his daughter was anxious to save his mother, but he still had to tell her the truth.

Xue Ronghua stared blankly before crying again, "Mother … "Mother, she …"

Xue Longhu gently caressed her daughter's head as he calculated in his heart. Madam Ye was severely ill, and very soon, she would become a pile of loess, while the burden of Ye Residence would have to be thrown away along with Madam Ye.

Xue Ronghua raised her head to look at his father, her eyes shining with tears, "Father, we have to be careful now then.

Xue Longhu remained silent and slightly nodded.

"Then how does father plan to deal with Lord Ye?"

Xue Longhu lost his mind. Although the position of the Lord Ye was not as important as that of a prime minister, he was still an important official of the imperial court. Furthermore, they were related by marriage, making it difficult to move about.

"When I entered the palace that day, I met Prince Duan. He told me that he didn't like Lord Ye very much." Xue Ronghua slowly probed.

Xue Longhu looked at her blankly. He knew about the Lord Ye being corrupt and taking bribes, but how could the Prince Duan know about this? Could it be that the Emperor had discussed such an important matter with the Prince Duan before? He had originally wanted Xue Liuhua to marry the crown prince so that he could secure his future. However, from the looks of it now, as the Princess Duan, Xue Ronghua could also take on this role.

He took in a deep breath. Prince Duan was the child of the Mrs. Heyi, it seemed that the Emperor had officially named the son of the Empress Chen as the crown prince.

"Why not," Xue Ronghua looked at her father with rapt attention, "Let's go tell the emperor."

In the Tingxue Building, Chu Zongge raised the cup and looked at Xue Ronghua who had changed into a man's attire, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"What do you think of the wine from Tingxue Building?" Xue Ronghua smiled sweetly at him.

Chu Zongge leisurely drank a mouthful, then said with a smile: "As expected, it's a Beautiful Rain Dew, it's truly delicious."

"Compared to the wine from the palace?"

Chu Zongge chuckled: "It's even better than palace wine. It's just that it's such a good wine, to be held in a fine porcelain cup, it's such a pity, it has to be held in my palace's Night Light Cup."

"Wine for the night," Xue Ronghua said in annoyance, "The wine you make is not nice, but the rules are quite a bit different."

Chu Zongge laughed, "Don't you still need to marry into my Duke's Palace in the future? You need to adapt first."

"The matter of marrying into your Duke's Palace is still too early. Even if I were to marry into the palace, I would have to invite a few masters of the Tingxue Building to follow me into the palace."

"In the future, if I become the crown prince, you will be the Crown Princess and at the moment of succession, you will be the queen of the entire world."

Xue Ronghua's heart stopped and her eyes dimmed.

"I know you're thinking about Mu Langhua again. It's just that if you don't raise Xue Ronghua's identity to the highest level, how will you avenge the former Mu Langhua?"

Xue Ronghua drank a cup of wine without batting an eyelid and said dejectedly: "I am naturally clear about this, you only need to stay in the palace to deal with the Prince Jin and Crown Prince, I don't need you to worry about me."

Chu Zongge smiled, seeing her gloomy look, he wanted to reach over and smooth his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Xue Ronghua opened the big hand and looked at him strangely.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Zongge stared blankly for a moment, then laughed: "I only wanted to touch your face, but your movements are too big."

Xue Ronghua turned her head away coldly, "I hate the tricks of becoming a prodigal son the most, you better watch out."

Seeing her ice-cold expression, Chu Zongge did not want to alarm her again, so he smiled apologetically: "I am guilty, please forgive me, Royal Concubine."

Xue Ronghua said indifferently: "Tomorrow, I will follow father into the palace and meet with the emperor. Have you investigated all the matters regarding the Ye Residence's greed and laws clearly?"

"Of course, everything is ready."

"En," Xue Ronghua nodded her head in satisfaction. "Tomorrow, the two of us must cooperate well, and take this opportunity to pull the Madam Ye Clan down."

"There's no need for you to say it," Chu Zongge smiled, "The emperor has long heard of the Lord Ye's greed, and is also very dissatisfied with him for using corruption to take bribes. Even if there's no one from the Ye Family to assassinate you, sooner or later, the emperor will find a chance to clean them all up."

"I have already discussed this with Xue Longhu earlier," Xue Ronghua heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, he is not someone who indulges in love with women. At first, I was afraid that he would lose all ties with the Ye Residence because of his wife, but now, I think it's still me that matters the most."

"If Lord Xue cared so much about love, he wouldn't have been promoted to the position of Prime Minister. However, Madam Ye will be dead soon, and there's still Xue Liuhua in the palace …"

"Don't worry," Xue Ronghua revealed a assured expression, "She has committed many evil deeds, and is even a hundred times more sinister than the Madam Ye. I definitely won't let her off easily."

Xue Liuhua knew that her uncle had already come to the Xue Residence, but she did not hear any news from her father. After thinking about it again and again, she decided to go back to Ye Residence.

Her uncle seemed to have long known that she was coming for Ye Residence, and the servant at the door didn't really stop her, allowing her to go straight to Lord Ye's study.

Perhaps because she felt lonely in her room because her father had loathed him in the Xue Family, the moment Xue Liuhua saw her family members of the maternal family, two lines of clear tears flowed down her face.

Lord Ye looked expressionlessly at Xue Liuhua, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and said indifferently: "I've already done as you said, made a trip to Prime Minister's Mansion, and talked to your father about your matters."

Xue Liuhua wiped her tears and asked anxiously: "What did father say?"

Lord Ye raised his eyebrows, "I didn't say anything, but I did raise Yao Hua."

Xue Liuhua immediately felt baffled, "What does father want with Yao Hua?"

Lord Ye turned to another page coldly and sighed: "It's all because of Ye Zhao. Your father thought that Ye Zhao had killed Xue Yaohua, but he also felt that I was an outsider, so he told me not to meddle in other people's business."

Xue Liuhua hurriedly replied: "How could that be, Yaohua was killed by that bitch Xue Ronghua, how could uncle be an outsider? Why would father make things difficult for uncle?"

"You should ask your father about this. It's not appropriate for me to interfere."

Xue Liuhua's eyes widened, she could not let go of this life-saving straw, "No way, uncle, now that my father has been bewitched by Xue Ronghua, he is on the same side as her, if uncle does not help me, I will die without a burial ground."

Lord Ye waved his hand and said, "No matter what, you are your father's biological daughter. Lord Xue will not do anything to you."

"That's not it, Xue Ronghua previously killed Yao Hua, and made you all drive Ye Zhao away. Now that you have poisoned Mother, it will be my turn next."

When Lord Ye thought about his son, who was currently suffering outside, his heart couldn't help but tighten. That was the precious son that he missed in his heart, and it was all Xue Ronghua's fault. If she didn't play tricks, his son wouldn't have been left out in the world.

"As expected, Xue Ronghua cannot be kept away." A trace of ruthlessness flashed past Lord Ye's eyes.

Seeing that the situation was turning for the better, Xue Liuhua immediately said: "That's right, aren't you afraid that after she kills me, her next target will be Ye Residence?"

"But, I once sent someone to assassinate her, but it was useless. The assassins that I sent all died on the way."

"Maybe it's because they're too close to the Imperial Palace and they met with some kind of bodyguard. No matter how strong Xue Ronghua is, she definitely won't be able to do anything to a powerless Miss."

"That's true," Lord Ye agreed and nodded, "But how is your mother now, will she be able to recover?"

Xue Liuhua said painfully, "Mother's illness is getting more and more serious. The Dragon Helianthus Grass has already invaded her internal organs, Mother … Mother she may not live another three months. "

Lord Ye stood up and looked at the yellow leaves drifting in the wind outside his window. He sighed softly, "It's almost winter."

"When the winter comes, if Xue Ronghua succeeds in marrying into the Prince Duan Palace and becomes the legitimate Princess Duan, I will have to be buried together with mother in the courtyard."

"Xue Ronghua harmed my Zhao'er, so I also hate her to the bones. For this matter, I am still willing to help you."

Xue Liuhua gratefully said, "Thank you, uncle."

"Only, it's more troublesome to help you, Xue Longhu is a bit difficult to deal with …"

Before Lord Ye could finish speaking, a servant came in with a face full of fear, "Master, it's bad, something big has happened."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you see that Young Miss Xue and I are talking about important matters?" The Lord Ye said impatiently.

"Master, Lord Xue has entered the palace!"

Xue Liuhua was startled, and the porcelain cup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
