At the beginning of the lanterns, the night was fading, and Ye Huaiyang was staring at the table and pondering in the study of the family.
The reason why she was able to successfully get rid of the Bai family was based on a lot of preconditions, such as the discord with the heart of the four great aristocratic families, the endless fighting in secret, the decline of the Bai family, the envy of the queen, the suspicion of the emperor, etc. The most important thing is that the Bai family is the weakest of the four aristocratic families. He has no chance to fight back, but if it is replaced by the Xie family or the Wang family, this plan has absolutely no chance of success.
Needless to say, the Wang family belonged to them, as well as the chief minister of the palace, Wang Ying, and the secret envoy Wang Jian, who was in charge of the military and government. As for the Xie family, although Xie Yuan is subservient to Wang Ying, he is also a figure in the court, not to mention that Xie Qian is married to King Tao who is in charge of the Xiaoqi battalion, and his strength cannot be underestimated. The 200,000 Guanzhong Iron Cavalry in Ye Huaili's hand.
But what's the use of that? It would be great if it really was a fight. He couldn't help at all in the battle between the court and the harem. If the Xie family really wanted to deal with the Ye family, she had to deal with it with all her strength, or she could make sure that nothing went wrong.
Having said that, she never thought that Bai Xizhi would go to Xie Yuan for help when he was in crisis. After all, it was Bai Zhixuan who caused Xie Qian's inability to enter the palace back then, and the two families were already on fire.
Not to mention the old things, it is a miscalculation.
But this Xie Yun is also surprisingly courageous. She was forced to marry Chu Jinglan on the face of it, and even the emperor and empress didn't see any clues, but she was so sure that she was from Chu Jinglan's side. Based on the few words of Bai Xizhi, I would never make such a judgment. Could it be that I have missed something...
Ye Huaiyang rubbed her brows. The hard work of the long journey and the oncoming crisis made her physically and mentally exhausted.
"Ciyuan."
The two words gently spilled out of his lips, and there was a movement outside the door immediately. A phantom flashed in under the bright light. Standing in front of the desk, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Miss, what are your orders?"
"The last time I asked Tianqilou to investigate Lu Heng and Xie Yun, I vaguely remember what was wrong, but I can't figure it out. You can report it to me again."
"Yes." Ci Yuan bowed his hands and said, "The subordinates and others learned during the investigation that Miss Xie's father and Dr. Lu's father were close friends, so they had this childhood sweetheart marriage. Later, Miss Xie's father passed away. She had to be filial to her for three years, so she postponed the wedding. After Xie Yuan was in charge of the family, he put the matter on the agenda again and invited Mrs. Lu to come to discuss it many times. Mrs. Lu always refused for some reason, but later I still went, but that time Xie Yuan poisoned him, and a few days later, the new emperor announced his enthronement and overshadowed the matter."
Mrs. Lu was also an old courtier in the court. He must have noticed that Chu Sanghuai was going to rebel and wanted to inform Chu Jinglan, so Xie Yuan would use Lu Xie's marriage to lure him to kill him, so as to tell Chu Sanghuai Taking credit, this doesn't sound too strange.
"continue."
"Because Xie Yuan is very secretive and has the emperor's protection, there is not much information about this matter. The subordinates visited several old servants of the Xie family, and only heard some details from one person, saying that Mrs. Lu died. Miss Xie was also there at the time. She brought the poisonous cup of tea to Mrs. Lu. After the poison broke out, she fainted with fright. Later, she was in a state of madness for half a month, and she slowly recovered, and Mrs. Lu also acted as a He is really a kind-hearted elder, and he told Xie Yuan not to embarrass Miss Xie before he died."
"and many more!"
Ye Huaiyang suddenly raised her eyes, and suspicion flashed through.
No matter what role Xie Yun played in this matter, she was Xie Yuan's niece after all. After being used by him, her marriage would be ruined at most, and her life would not be hurt. Mrs. Lu's words seemed to want Xie Yun to be treated poorly because of his involvement with the Lu family, but from another perspective, it was clearly saying that Xie Yuan would attack Xie Yun, why?
If you were worried about Xie Yun leaking the secret, then you didn't have to ask her for tea at first. Anyway, Mrs. Lu had already entered Xie's mansion at that time, and there was no way to live. How to kill him was not Xie Yuan's final decision?
So why is that?
Ye Huaiyang frowned and remained silent. After a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.
Could it be that Xie Yun and Xie Yuan have other disputes?
Immediately, she said to Ci Yuan, "Go check it out again and see what Xie Yuan has done before and after he became the head of the family. You can't let go of any trivial thing. You have to do it as soon as possible and keep it secret, you know?"
"Yes, this subordinate understands." Ci Yuan bowed and saluted, then left quickly.
The room was quiet again, and only the sound of Ye Huaiyang's fingers tapping on the desk table could be heard, again and again, crisp and regular, just like the night watchman on the outer street, the time slipped through his fingers before he knew it. pass.
The twilight is getting thicker, and the dew under the porch is heavier again, especially when it is cold at night.
There is still a large pile of files on the table.
Ye Huaiyang put down the pen, pressed her forehead and closed her eyes for a while, as if she was extremely tired, the night wind rushed in, even shaking the candle, reflecting the thick shadow under her eyelashes, why? Can't be dispelled. Suddenly there was a slight opening and closing sound from the door, but she didn't open her eyes when she heard it, she only whispered, "Crescent Moon, go to sleep first, you don't have to wait here."
No one responded.
Ye Huaiyang realized that something was wrong, and suddenly opened her eyes, only to see a wide and vague shadow pressing down, and before she could scream, she was pulled into her arms, and the coldness of the man's body had not yet faded, stabbing her cheek. It was slightly itchy, but there was a faint scent of pine forest and green grass, a smell she was all too familiar with.
"Why are you here?" After a moment of surprise, Ye Huaiyang hooked Chu Jinglan's neck in surprise, and the tiredness seemed to disappear with his arrival.
Chu Jinglan was dressed in a black dark-patterned brocade robe and did not wear a crown. She was dressed casually. Her eyes were tightly clenching her little face. After a while, she whispered a few words: "Why didn't you return in the middle of the night?"
"Didn't I send someone back to report the letter? There are too many things at hand, and I will be staying at my house tonight, but it's you, what are you doing here when it's freezing outside, you should have gone to bed earlier..."
Ye Huaiyang's lingering voice suddenly stopped, and then he bent down, pressing his left hand on his waist, as if trembling. Chu Jinglan's face froze, and he quickly picked her up and walked to the inner room, then carefully placed her on the narrow soft couch, and asked in a deep voice, "Is your waist uncomfortable again?"
She bit her lip and nodded lightly.
"I'm going to call someone to invite the doctor." After speaking, Chu Jinglan turned around and walked out, only to be held back by Ye Huaiyang.
"I'm fine. Most of the time, it was caused by sitting in the car for a day and sitting for so long when I came back. It's fine to sleep for a night. If you go out like this, your family should be disturbed."
Her uncle and aunt have always loved her the most, and if they knew about this, they would be anxious.
Chu Jinglan pursed her lips coldly, obviously disapproving of her making do with it all night, but seeing her frowning and caressing her waist, she couldn't bear to argue with her, so she had to sit back on the couch again, rubbing her waist while speaking sternly. Said: "If you still feel bad after a while, you won't be able to say anything."
"Understood." Ye Huaiyang smiled softly, leaned over and snuggled into his arms.
In other words, the soft couch is really narrow. She is so slender that she doesn't have much room to lie down on. Half of Chu Jinglan's body is still hanging outside. Leaning on the side like this, she felt uncomfortable looking at that posture, so she raised her arm and pushed him.
"Why don't you go back to the palace first, it's hard for me to move around now, and there are still so many things to do..."
Chu Jinglan's eyes seemed to have sparks flashing, staring at her for a moment and suddenly lowered his body, with a hint of danger in his deep voice: "Drive me away?"
Ye Huaiyang's heart trembled, and quickly replied: "No, I'm not afraid that you won't rest well..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pair of brown rhino leather boots were thrown to the ground, Chu Jinglan squeezed onto the couch, picked Ye Huaiyang up and placed her on his chest. Ye Huaiyang was sandwiched between him and the quilt. The upper part was warm, and the lower part was even hotter. She raised her eyes slightly, and the sexy outline from Chu Jinglan's chin to her neck fell into her eyes. She felt her throat dry. .
"It used to be so tight, but today I'm looking forward to leaving." Chu Jinglan's palm was slightly heavier, and he pressed her hard against him, "Did I feed you too much?"
Ye Huaiyang blushed suddenly, she was as tender and tender as a peach, her pink lips opened and closed, and she gently shook out a few words: "No, no, I..."
"No?" Chu Jinglan's eyes sparked a few more times.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Huaiyang reacted suddenly, nodding like garlic, "I'm full, I've eaten enough..."
On the way back to the capital, every night of singing, she almost tossed her to death, where she couldn't eat enough, she was almost dying!
"So you don't need me anymore?" Chu Jinglan laughed instead of anger, a few traces of evil charm appeared on her handsome face, and a pair of black eyes flashed like a demon fire, and her sanity was burned to the ground with two snorts. Ashes, his mind suddenly went blank.
This question... how come it seems that everything is wrong?
Ye Huaiyang stopped talking, and shivered and climbed up to kiss him. At this time, his body should be more honest.
Sure enough, Chu Jinglan's breath was a little calmer, and his hand strength was relieved. He stretched out his arms to support her buttocks, making her lie down more comfortably. This move was tantamount to an amnesty order, pointing out the way forward, so Ye Huaiyang gnawed harder.
Just as it was about to explode, someone outside suddenly knocked on the door, and the sound seemed to be poured in with a blanket of ice and snow, dispelling the surging emotions in the room.
"Sister, are you in there?"
The desire in Chu Jinglan's eyes narrowed, and in an instant, thousands of miles of frost shot out of the shadows, wishing to freeze the man to the ground.
This Ye Huaixin, he has to step in in everything, he will throw him out of the capital sooner or later!
