After returning home, Su Qiao summoned Murong.
"Mu Rong, how is Dong Jin doing recently? Have you had any contact with the palace?"
"Except for the letter that was secretly sent by the Crown Prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty last time, there has been no other contact."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have sent people to keep an eye on them. If we find anything unusual, we will report it to Your Majesty immediately."
Murong has been extremely busy these days.
Normally, she would never leave the prince's side.
Su Qiao thought for a moment and ordered, "Send a team of top-notch secret guards to protect Ye Lihan day and night."
Although they haven't reached a contract yet, the result will not be wrong.
Li Sang and his daughter will definitely agree to the deal with the Crown Prince of Eastern Jin.
In addition, she has been interacting with Ye Lihan frequently recently, so Li Sang will definitely regard him as a thorn in his side.
"yes."
Mu Rong fully agrees with the matter between the Prince and Prince Ye.
Although he is a prince of another country, and a prince who has obviously been abandoned, they feel more at ease precisely because he has no one to rely on in Huangming Country.
On the other side, Ye Lihan returned to the inner room, sat beside the couch for a long time, and slowly regained his composure.
"Master, the prince is obviously interested in you..."
Xiao Yuzi originally agreed with the relationship between the two, but now, he is not sure.
They are going back to Eastern Jin, why is the master with the prince
Ye Lihan habitually touched the black jade in his hand and said, "She is interested in me, so I have to respond to her?"
Xiao Yuzi rolled his eyes quietly.
When did the master learn to say one thing and mean another
"Master, you are willing to spend three thousand taels of silver to buy her a jade crown just to make her smile. Don't tell me you are not tempted."
Ye Lihan: “…”
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Xiao Yuzi curled his lips and said, "Master, every time you say you can't beat me, that's it."
Ye Lihan raised his head and glanced at him: "What about me?"
"He got angry because he was embarrassed!" Xiao Yuzi was afraid to say anything.
"Master, the prince has just explained it so clearly, you can't pretend not to understand, right?"
"Master, why don't we wait until we return to Dongjin to pick up Madam Yun and settle down in Huangming directly? Women here have a high status and there are not so many rules. No one will talk about Madam Yun."
Anyway, he and his master have become accustomed to life in Huangming Kingdom.
Ye Lihan's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy: "Stop talking."
"master?"
What happened? Did he just say something wrong
Ye Lihan lowered his eyes: "Aunt... has been gone for eight years."
"What?"
Xiao Yuzi was stunned.
"How is this possible? Didn't you always say you would go back to Dongjin to pick her up?"
How could he have gone there eight years ago
Ye Lihan tightly grasped the jade in his hand and said, "I am going back to Dongjin to pick her up, but what I am picking up is her... corpse."
Xiao Yuzi finally accepted that his master's aunt had passed away long ago.
"Then...then how did Empress Yun die?"
Ye Lihan said expressionlessly, "Overwork has caused illness, plus chronic poisoning."
Overwork leading to illness
How could the Empress in the palace become ill from overwork
Only after staying in a place like the cold palace for a long time will...
Chronic poisoning...
"It must be the Queen and the Crown Prince. They poisoned him."
The Queen and the Crown Prince are both really despicable.
The Queen killed her master's mother, the former Queen, and falsely accused her of having an affair with a guard. She also schemed to make the Emperor hate her master, who was only ten years old at the time, so that he, the legitimate son of the empress, was sent to Huangming as a hostage.
