Chapter 50

Xiao lie receives the imperial edict and goes to the palace. After ye Xiyue stays in the house alone for a while, he sneaks out disguised as a woman.

She spent ten copper coins in the market and asked an aunt for help. She knocked at the door of the prime minister's house and pretended to be ye Wei's relative. She said something had happened at home and wanted to see him.

"This childe, the steward of the prime minister's house just asked someone to reply. The childe Ye didn't see him after the fire last night."

"Gone?"

Ye Xi subconsciously twisted her eyebrows, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart.

The aunt nodded, "yes, the steward said. Last night, the servants of the family were busy saving lives, and no one noticed him. No one saw him this morning."

"OK, I see. Thank you."

The aunt took the copper and left. Ye Xiyue walked along the street to the back door of the prime minister's house.

As she walked, she was still thinking. Was it because she didn't wait for her at noon yesterday, so ye Wei ran home by herself?!

I don't know when there will be two guards at the back door of the prime minister's house, one left and one right, with a straight body. At a glance, they are practicing their family.

Ye Xiyue was cluttered in her heart. Almost immediately, she realized that ye Wei didn't run away by herself. It was estimated that she was detained by the people in the house.

She was still carrying the shoes made by her mother Ye Wei in her arms. She originally wanted to come today and hand them to him. Unexpectedly, she was empty.

Even if she guessed that ye Wei might be detained by Ye Zhiyuan or Chu Yun, she didn't dare to act rashly. After all, in ancient times, the servants who signed the deed of betrayal had no human rights. Even if they were killed, they didn't have a chance to get justice.

"Alas, the evil old society is really troublesome!"

Ye Xiyue wandered around the prime minister's house. There were a lot of guards in the house. It was like an iron wall.

She can only give up and go back to discuss with Xiao lie to see how to deal with it!

At this time, in the firewood room of the prime minister's house, ye Wei was thrown in the corner of the wall, his mouth was still blocked with a piece of rag, his forehead knocked against the wall, and the wall was full of mottled blood marks.

The pain on his body was so severe that his internal organs seemed to shift. It seemed that he would faint at any time. He had to knock his head to keep awake.

"Mother..."

His mouth was covered with linen and could only send out vague syllables. Ye Wei opened a pair of dark eyes, and the fundus of his eyes was full of pain.

The firewood room was very quiet, and the needle dropping could be heard. The dull sound of "bang bang" was very clear. One after another, there was a lot of blood flow without stopping.

Ye Wei doesn't know what Chu Yun will do with him. Her only hope is to know his mother's situation, but now this hope has also failed.

Ye Xiyue, he only believed in her. Unexpectedly, she was treacherous. Sure enough, there was no good thing from the prime minister's house!

……

"What are you talking about? The fool is not in the room. Where is he?"

Aunt Zheng leaned against the imperial concubine's chair and glanced at the servants in front of her with a cold knife. However, her face was still swollen and looked a little funny.

The servant was trembling with fear of being angry. He replied carefully with a full face: "madam, I'm really not here. The servant went into the house and saw no one. But the general's girl Xiao Yu is also gone."

In the morning, as soon as Xiao lie left the house, aunt Zheng sent someone to his room to call ye Xiyue. As a result, three urged four asked for a long time, but the person was not at all.

"Did the little bitch take the fool out?"

"Madam, the servant asked the porter and said he didn't see them go out at all."

As soon as aunt Zheng heard this, her face immediately sank and her voice raised, "what does that mean? People don't go out of the house and aren't in the house. Can they still disappear out of thin air?"

"This... This slave doesn't know. People have searched all over the house, but no one has been found. This..."

The answering servant flopped down on the ground, his face was frighteningly white, and his body was shaking like a sieve.

It's really that Aunt Zheng's usual means are too vicious. She has already frightened these servants.

Aunt Zheng was very angry. Her face was red and swollen. She was itchy and uncomfortable when she moved. She slapped on the red sandalwood table in front of her and knocked over the tea cups.

"Useless things! If these two living people are missing, you can't find them! Find them again!"

"Yes, madam."

Ye Xiyue wanted to climb over the wall into the general's house in men's clothes. She felt something wrong before she got close.

The general's house is the same as the prime minister's house. There are many guards at the back door. Even the side wall of the yard is guarded. It's basically impossible for her to go back quietly without attracting attention!

She stood across the street, frowning tightly, wondering what happened in the house. How could there be a sudden increase in guards!

After looking up for a while, I was surprised to see a small man walking slowly from the end of the street to the general's house with a basket.

She was carrying a basket full of eggs in one hand. She was careful, as if she was afraid that her hand would shake carelessly and roll down a few eggs, which was a pity to break.

Ye Xiyue's eyes have been falling on Xiao Yu, with a trace of exploration and doubt. What is she going to do when she comes out of the house at this time?

Xiao Hui went to the gate, said hello to the porter and went in.

Ye Xiyue looked at her and entered the door without effort. Her face suddenly stiffened for a moment. If Xiao Peng went to Xiao lie's house at this time, she would find that she was gone.

This is a little trouble!

How can she explain how she, a fool, avoided the porter and went to the street by herself?!

Ye Xiyue stretched out her hand to pull the men's clothes on her body, showing a trace of distress on her face. She was about to turn around and leave here first to think of other ways.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, I saw Liu Yan standing in front of her smiling.

"What are you doing here? Didn't your host give me three days to think about it?"

Liu Yan leaned over to Ye Xiyue and said in a lukewarm voice, "things have changed. The master wants to ask his wife to go over and renegotiate the previous things."

Things have changed

Ye Xiyue unconsciously remembered the face of Liu Yan's master and Xiaoyao king. Did things change because Xiaoyao king asked to marry Xia Siyu?

Xia Siyu is Xiao lie's cousin in the end. When King Xiaoyao marries her, he becomes a relative with Xiao lie and wants to call him cousin.

With this relationship, the central court minister must think that Xiao lie will stand on the side of King Xiaoyao.

Then why should the emperor who has been afraid of the king Xiaoyao tie Xiao lie to the king Xiaoyao in the same boat?

It is said that he should want his son to succeed to the throne, and he will never give up the throne to his younger brother!

It seems strange that he promised to marry!
