Ye Liu's father acted very quickly, but Ye Liu's injuries were not fully healed yet. The news that Chu Qing was still hiding in the Ye family had quietly reached the emperor's ears, and he received a large and generous reward.
Drinking the medicine, Ye Liu touched these rewards with his hands, feeling very happy. Now he just waited for Chu Qing to be in bad luck.
In the afternoon of that day, the emperor sent a eunuch to Ye's house.
At the same time, Ye Chenxi's situation was better than that day. At least there was no difference on the surface. She resumed her previous arrangements and began to deal with the remaining important tasks and met with many people to discuss matters.
It happened that after the discussion was over, before Ye Chenxi and others left, they saw someone coming to inform the father-in-law in the palace.
Ye Chenxi was packing her things while secretly guessing, why did the palace suddenly send people here? Could it be that they were here to arrest Chu Qing again? With this thought in mind, everyone also moved to the living room.
Everyone greeted each other, exchanged a few words and then got down to business.
"My father-in-law came to visit unexpectedly, but what message does the emperor have for the Ye family?" Seeing that several people were not interested in Cai Cai's topic, the Yi Ye family directly changed the subject and asked the eunuch's purpose.
"There is indeed a purpose." The eunuch did not give in and said: "The emperor has learned the accurate news that Chu Qing is still hiding in the Ye family. The emperor orders you to hand over Chu Qing within three days, otherwise the Ye family may be punished for harboring the crime. , cannot be tolerated.”
The high-pitched voice and sharp words echoed in the ears of everyone in the Ye family.
Ye Chenxi'e frowned, and she was determined not to hand over Chu Qing. She looked at the eunuch and said, "Eunuch, this Chu Qing is no longer in the Ye family a long time ago, so why is this person still in the Ye family?"
The Ye family present naturally knew that the head of the family was telling lies with open eyes, but in front of outsiders, they could only pretend to be ignorant.
The eunuch curled his lips and said with a smile, "Master Ye, our family doesn't know this. The emperor's decree has been issued. Please make friends with us as soon as possible. Don't do anything you regret."
"Our Ye family doesn't have this person, how do you want us to hand it over? This is simply forcing someone to do something difficult. Could it be that the emperor doesn't like our Ye family and is deliberately looking for a reason to rectify the Ye family?" Ye Chenxi pointed the finger at him without revealing any hint of his words. At once it turned to the emperor and the Ye family.
The Ye family had already been muttering in their hearts, wondering why the head of the family wanted to protect Chu Qing like this, but now the words were getting more and more serious, so they quickly interrupted the conversation and comforted Ye Chenxi alone: "Master, be careful, how can the emperor be like this? man of."
One of the men turned around and smiled flatteringly at the eunuch, saying: "Father, please calm down. The master of the house just wanted to make a mistake and said what he said. We all know that the emperor has always been wise, how could he do such a thing..." "
Before he finished speaking a lot of flattery, he was interrupted by the eunuch with a wave of his hand. He said angrily: "Okay, since the emperor's intention has been conveyed, we won't stay in our family for long. You'd better finish the emperor's work earlier." It’s his will.”
After saying that, he ignored the reactions of the Ye family behind him and walked straight away.
After the eunuch's figure completely disappeared, there was a lot of noise in the living room, and everyone was trying to persuade Ye Chenxi to hand over Chu Qing.
Ye Chenxi was upset when she heard that. She couldn't help but close her eyes and rubbed the acupuncture points on both sides of her forehead. After a while, she opened her eyes and called everyone to stop.
The hall fell silent for a moment, with all eyes looking at Ye Chenxi.
Ye Chenxi's determination is still firm: "If Chu Qing is not in the Ye family, he is not in the Ye family. Don't dwell on this matter anymore."
The meaning of these words could not satisfy the Ye family. The people present looked at each other, and finally introduced the most virtuous and respected person among the people to admonish: "Master, please don't be stubborn again. Hand over Chu Qing, otherwise the royal family will But he’s about to take action against us.”
Seeing this person speaking, Ye Chenxi frowned.
