Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

"Wang Shun is still alive?"

Ye Jingyu looked back and asked.

Yin Qingxuan shook her head uncertainly.

"Wang Shun was gutted and disembowelled. He is very miserable. I have asked Qin Tian to send him to King Fuyi in the hope that he can be revived."

Then he asked in confusion: "Why is Wang Shun in that room? Who was he hurt by?"

Ye Jingyu said with a gloomy look: "It should be those Dongliu people. Wang Shun had already been killed when I and the emperor's uncle arrived. These people had a good sense of smell and moved very quickly, hiding Jueying. "

Yin Qingxuan comforted him: "It is rumored that the Dongliu people are good at ninjutsu. Since these people can break through the sect's defense line and come to Kyoto, they should have some skills. Fortunately, killing two people on this trip can be considered a big gain."

Ye Jingyu nodded, glanced at the sky, looked at everyone and said: "Now that they have hidden their whereabouts, it will definitely not be found in a day or two. Everyone, please go back and have a rest tonight. I will let you Jueying continues to pursue.”

Several people handed over at the same time.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Yin Buyu glanced at his sister worriedly. He wanted to give some instructions, but when he saw the emperor beside him, he swallowed his words. He nodded to Yin Qingxuan and walked out of the woods with his eldest brother.

Ye Zhan stepped forward and said, "If I have nothing to do, I'll just give the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine a ride."

"No need, the emperor has worked hard all night, please go back early."

Ye Jingyu got on his horse and pulled Yin Qingxuan onto the horse's back. The two rode together towards the outside of the forest.

A group of guards immediately followed and returned to the palace in a mighty manner.

At this time, the sky had turned pale, and the night passed quietly.

Li Defu was waiting in Jinwu Palace with his dragon robe. Seeing that it was almost dawn and the emperor hadn't come back yet, he couldn't help but circle around anxiously.

Li Defu felt happy when he heard footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back."

Ye Jingyu nodded, his face tense.

The two fishes caught in the net have become his heartache. It is more likely that these two people have other accomplices.

He had to do this himself.

Turning around, Ye Jingyu's expression had softened. He looked at Yin Qingxuan and said in a gentle voice: "I have to go to court. Xuan'er must be careful these two days not to leave the palace by herself. If you are anxious to see Wang Shun, , I will accompany you when I go to court."

Seeing that Li Defu had stepped forward to undress Ye Jingyu, Yin Qingxuan did not want him to worry about her when he went to court.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't wander around."

Ye Jingyu's eyes were deep, and the warmth inside was like a trickle, which warmed people's hearts.

"Then it's settled, go back and take a nap, and we'll see you at noon."

Yin Qingxuan yawned in cooperation.

"The concubine obeys."

Li Defu had tidied the dragon robe, took out the imperial crown, put it on Ye Jingyu and straightened the corners.

"Your Majesty, you can go."

"Well, then I will go to the morning court."

Ye Jingyu picked up his dragon robe and walked out of Jinwu Palace with steady steps.

Yin Qingxuan entered the space and took a look at her son. Xiao Nanfeng was sleeping soundly in the soft crib, and it looked like he wouldn't wake up for a while.

After exiting the space, Yin Qingxuan thought about it and decided that she should go to Prince Fuyi's Mansion.

First, he was afraid that if Wang Shun died, he might miss some information. Second, he felt that he would just let the guards send the person there, and he didn't know if Ye Jinglan would save him.

Although he looks like a seven or eight-year-old kid, on the inside he is a young loser in his twenties. He has a temper and a personality, and he is an angry young man who is likely to die without saving him.

It would take more than two hours for Ye Jingyu to go down to court. By then, the cucumbers and vegetables would be cold, so he immediately took Bai Xue out of the palace.

When the imperial concubine left the palace, no one dared to stop her. In order to get to Prince Fuyi's palace as quickly as possible, Yin Qingxuan rode on a fat and shiny Ningshuang horse and headed straight out of the palace.

The sky was a little brighter than when Ye Jingyu left, and the vendors on the street had already set up their stalls. Along the street, there were sounds of selling lard, and there were also people shouting about selling corn cakes and sorghum rice.

Although rice and noodles were available in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were not yet popular. Most people still relied on coarse grains. Even so, it was very satisfying for those merchants who came to Beijing to have a bowl of hot sorghum rice and corn pancakes. Satisfied.

Looking at the busy crowds on the street, Yin Qingxuan felt a sense of relief inexplicably. People could live and work in peace and contentment, which indeed made people full of achievements. This happy scene was also inseparable from the efforts of the emperor and courtiers.

Thinking that Ye Jingyu had not slept all night and had to go to court to handle state affairs, Yin Qingxuan suddenly felt that he was pitiful.

People like Ye Jinglan who are so carefree and happy are so happy. Why do they have to make trouble for themselves and overtax their bodies all day long? It's strange that they can live a long life.

It was inevitable that Xiao Nanfeng would become a single-parent family at such a young age. Yin Qingxuan decided to give Ye Jingyu more spiritual spring water to drink, hoping to make him live a long life at any cost...

While thinking about it, they had already arrived at Prince Fuyi's Mansion.

The wind lantern at the door has not been extinguished, and the vermilion doors on both sides are wide open.

Ye Jinglan shouldn't get up so early, right?

Does this kid still like to run in the morning?

Yin Qingxuan jumped off the horse in surprise. Bai Xue beside her barked and suddenly rushed in.

Seeing Bai Xue's abnormality, Yin Qingxuan quickly followed in, only to see many servants lying around in the house.

The door to the main hall was also open, and there were blood stains in the hall.

My heart sank. Could something have happened to Ye Jinglan?

"Baixue, look quickly to see if there is any scent of Ye Jinglan and Wang Shun."

Bai Xue ran out with a sound, and Yin Qingxuan followed her to the backyard. If anything happened to Ye Jinglan, she would have to live with guilt for the rest of her life.

I couldn't help shouting: "Ye Jinglan, Ye Jinglan!"

After looking around, no one was found. Yin Qingxuan went to check on the maids and servants again. At a glance, she couldn't help but feel more and more chilled.

All of these people had died. There was a very clear red handprint on each person's neck, which must have been broken by strong force.

What a cruel thief.

She had to return to the palace quickly, tell Ye Jingyu about the matter, and ask him to send people to look for Ye Jinglan.

Just as he was about to leave, a yawn suddenly came from behind him.

Yin Qingxuan turned around suddenly and saw Ye Jinglan, who was wearing a white tunic, walking out of the room, sleepy-eyed.

Yin Qingxuan was excited and quickly ran over to look up and down.

"Ye Jinglan, are you okay? You scared me to death."

Seeing the fine sweat on the tip of Yin Qingxuan's pen, Ye Jinglan curled up the corner of his mouth.

"Is the imperial concubine really worried about this king?"

Yin Qingxuan raised her hand and gave him a shudder, and said angrily: "What time has it been? You are still joking. Where were you just now? I thought something happened to you."

Ye Jinglan touched his head and said with a smile: "You forgot, we are also people with space, don't worry, we won't die."
