The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Hua Wu Ke's voice was heard with a hint of anger, causing the two to turn around.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Ye Yi quickly retreated, leaving Ye Buhuo alone to face Hua Wuke's "questioning".

He originally hid here to ask Ye Yi in order to prevent Hua Wuke from knowing about this, but he didn't expect that Hua Wuke still heard it.

Ye Yi tried to cover up the incident and said, "You heard it wrong..."

Hua Wu Ke frowned in dissatisfaction, "Don't try to fool me! And yesterday I asked you why we were here, and you said you came here to find a miracle doctor. There is no miracle doctor here. It was Doctor Zhao who cured me of my poison!"

Hua Wu Ke was still a little confused yesterday when he just woke up, so Ye Buhuo fooled him with just some casual words. But now that he is awake, it is really hard to fool him.

Ye Buhuo said half-truthfully: "I originally planned to take you to the North Country to find an antidote. Once we find the antidote, we will return to the palace. It's not as serious as Ye Yi said."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wu Ke could no longer maintain her anger. Her eyes turned red and she threw herself into Ye Buhuo's arms.

"You still lied to me... You knew how much Bei Su wanted your life, yet you still dared to go? You're going to piss me off to death..."

Ye Buhuo lowered his head and blocked her lips, not allowing her to say the word "death".

"Sui Sui, I just want you to be safe."

A pearl-like tear fell from Hua Wu Ke's eyes. She placed her hands on Ye Bu Huo's cheeks and whispered, "But I also want you to be safe."

"Promise me that you won't do such stupid things again, okay?"

Ye Buhuo turned his face and rubbed Hua Wuke's palm, obviously not wanting to answer this question.

Hua Wu Ke refused to give in, and forcibly turned his head so that he could look at her, "Go ahead."

"I'm a little hungry, let's go eat."

After saying that, Ye Buhuo held Hua Wuke's hand tightly and walked out of the pavilion. No matter how Hua Wuke coaxed and persuaded him along the way, he refused to give in.

At night, before going to sleep, Hua Wu Ke finally compromised and held Ye Bu Huo's hand tightly and said, "Okay, from now on, your safety will be left to me, the princess."

On the way back to Beijing, Hua Wu Ke was worried about whether his stepmother had succeeded, so he urged Ye Yi to drive the carriage as fast as possible. In about half a month, they arrived in the capital.

Hua Wu Ke had already written a letter to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in advance to report his safety, but the two of them still went to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to visit Hua Zhukong and Hua Rongyu father and son as soon as they returned to Beijing.

"Grandfather, Daddy, Big Brother, I'm back!"

Hua Wujing circled around Hua Wuke and nodded seriously, "Yes, absolutely genuine, she is still my healthy sister."

"Come here and let Grandfather see you, Sui Sui."

Hua Wu Ke sat down next to Hua Zhu Kong, hugged his arm, and said, "Sui Sui made you worry."

Hua Zhukong touched her head and said, "It's good that nothing happened. It's good that nothing happened."

Seeing that Hua Wu Ke seemed to be in good health, Hua Rongyu finally felt relieved and said to Ye Buhuo:

"Have you dealt with Beisu's affairs?"

Ye Buhuo nodded, "Don't worry, father. Bei Su was killed by bandits. It has nothing to do with us."

Hua Rongyu nodded, "That's good, but we can't let them use this incident to cause another war between the two countries."

Several people had lunch in Huazhukong Courtyard. After lunch, Huazhukong wanted to rest, so Hua Rongyu took Ye Buhuo and the other two to Jiaming Hall to discuss business.

"During the time you were away, Luluo sent someone to deliver a message that Lin Siyu seemed to be getting those poisons in the mansion again."

"Jing'er sent someone to investigate, and indeed found a porter in a village outside the city's western suburbs who often traveled between the capital and the northern country. Lin Siyu got the herbs from him."

Ye Buhuo nodded, "Thank you for your concern, father."

Hua Rongyu waved her hand and said, "It is the responsibility of Duke Dingguo's Mansion to investigate the spies, not to mention that Sui Sui has been in trouble because of this matter."

"My Lord, please deal with this man as soon as possible."

Ye Buhuo agreed to this matter, "Don't worry, father, Lin Siyu and Ye Chuji won't be rampant for too long."

Without further ado, as soon as Ye Buhuo returned to the palace, he arranged for people to secretly search Lin Siyu's yard.

After finding out where Lin Siyu hid the poison and Sun Ruhui, he broke into Hua Mansion with his men on the second night and brought out Lin Siyu and Sun Ruhui, who had been tortured beyond recognition.

After handing the person over to Marble, Xiao Liqiu quickly took over the matter.

The poison from the North Country in the dark room, the jade pendant that symbolized the identity of "Fire Lotus", and the letters she secretly exchanged with other spies were all found out one by one.

Not only Lin Siyu, but also other spies buried deep in the Ye Kingdom were completely eliminated because of Lin Siyu's exposure.

Among them is Lin Siyu and Hua Jingqian’s daughter, Hua Fuying.

When the officers and soldiers sent people to Wu Shangshu's residence to arrest Hua Fuying, Wu Ze protected her with a look of resentment and did not let other officers and soldiers get close.

"Ying'er has already married into my Wu Mansion and has no relationship with Lin Siyu any longer! What rights do you have to arrest her?"

Minister Wu was so angry at Wu Ze's brainless behavior that he almost fainted and cursed:

"You bastard! Can't you see? The daughter you are protecting is a spy just like her mother. A spy! Are you trying to kill my Wu family by protecting a spy?"

Just as Wu Ze was about to argue, he found himself feeling a little weak, and then a dagger was pressed against his waist.

Wu Ze wanted to turn back in disbelief, but was hit hard by the dagger at his waist.

"Don't move, or I'll kill you," Hua Fuying threatened coldly.

Wu Ze said in disbelief: "Ying'er, what are you doing?"

Hua Fuying ignored him and said to Minister Wu who was not far away: "Tell these people to let me go and prepare a fast horse for me, otherwise, I will drag your son to be buried with me!"

Even though Shangshu Wu was angry, he could not abandon Wu Ze. He gnashed his teeth in hatred but still begged Xiao Liqiu:

"Master Xiao, please save my son. That spy is so cruel and ruthless. What if he really hurts my son?"

Xiao Liqiu didn't say anything, but made a gesture secretly.

An arrow pierced Hua Fuying's shoulder from behind, and the pain made Hua Fuying subconsciously loosen the dagger in her hand.

The dagger fell to the ground, and Hua Fuying was quickly captured by the soldiers who surrounded her and forced to kneel on the ground.

Minister Wu was still calling Wu Ze not far away, asking him to stay away from the spy, but Wu Ze seemed not to hear him. He turned around blankly and looked at Hua Fuying in a daze.

"Are you really... a spy? Then what's going on between you and me..."

Hua Fuying replied expressionlessly, "It's just a show for each other's benefit. Mr. Wu, there's no need to pretend to be so affectionate."

"Each of us takes what we need? Pretending to be affectionate? Is this how you view my feelings for you?"
