Chapter 115: A Massacre
was very willing to sacrifice me, but before she could even speak, she turned her head and saw Zhuai returning. 。As soon as she arrived, Zhuier first performed a courtesy to Mu Shi, then to Ye Wenyan..."Sis, don't laugh" 。"The sound of falling children's toys reminding..." 。That's a bit too embarrassing, even if it's funny, don't laugh like that! Ye Wenyan stopped, almost immediately changing his face, which made Empress Li tremble with fear. 。“Why would the Empress Dowager think I would treat the Sixth Prince” she asked Empress Dowager Li, “Or, what would you offer me in exchange for my healing skills” Empress Dowager Li leaned forward, “If this humble one were to offer you the cause of General Ye’s death in exchange, would you agree” “Oh” she became interested, “Perhaps Empress Dowager could enlighten me first. If I find it convincing, this deal will be made, how about that” Empress Dowager Li nodded frantically, “Yes, yes, it will surely work! ” She glanced at Baochan, meaning for her to clear the room. 。But looking at these people in the house... Forget it, none of them are clean enough to let go. 。Even as a maidservant, Zhuier is a favorite of Ye Wenyan's. Right now, she is tending to Lu'er's wounds at Ye Wenyan's side and has no time for anything else. 。So he stopped thinking about chasing him away, and only said to Ye Wen: “Although your grandfather has been in many battles over the years, his body is covered with old and new injuries, but none of them are fatal.” 。The late emperor had visited before, and the old man predicted that he would live longer than the emperor because all the good medicine from the Imperial Hospital had been used by him. 。I clearly remember when the news of General Ye Lao's death reached the palace, the late emperor was very angry. How could such a healthy person just...disappear"
Empress Li lowered her voice as she spoke, "Later on, I quietly investigated and even asked the imperial physician who had treated General Ye."
The imperial physician had prescribed medicine for the old general, but it seemed the old general hadn't taken any of it. Although the servants in the night manor repeatedly insisted they had administered the medicine on time, the old general didn't appear to have been given any medication at all. 。He even sniffed the medicinal scent under a tree in the yard!
Ye Wenyan listened to these words, and it seemed like he could imagine the scene at that time.
The old woman insisted that she had given him the medicine, but the old general showed no improvement at all. 。Then the imperial physician came out and sniffed the smell of medicine under the tree. 。Where is this courtyard The Fulu Courtyard perhaps No, it shouldn't be. The Fulu Courtyard belongs to the old mistress. With her disposition, she wouldn't allow someone on their deathbed to stay in her courtyard. 。That should be the kind of study the old general was used to. 。Seeing that she didn't react, Empress Li pursued, "Wen Yan, do you think there's something strange about this"Night Wen Yan glanced at Empress Li and shook her head, "Based on this alone, it's not too strange." 。"There's also one more thing!" Empress Li said urgently, "Old Lady Ye had mentioned to the imperial physician several times that she doesn't want to see Old General suffer like this. If there's really no way, just don't treat him anymore, let Old General go early and enjoy his afterlife." Early departure means dying sooner, Ye Wen understood this. 。Similarly, she understood that this kind of talk would come out from Old Madam Ye. 。After all, the old woman had shown no outward signs of missing her deceased husband besides being a little thinner. 。"Wen Yan, when I act like this, do you think it's sincere enough" Ye Wen Yan shook his head, "Not enough..." 。"Is this still not enough" "How could this possibly be enough" she looked at Empress Li, "These things are all just speculations made by the Empress Dowager herself. Even the imperial physician who smelled the medicine under the big tree, that might have been because Unhearted had casually scattered a batch..." 。Moreover, so much time has passed. At the time, no one questioned it, and who could recognize it later The Empress Dowager—"She leaned forward,"—Since you had already investigated General's Mansion back then, why didn't you question it after hearing what the imperial physician said"
"How should I question" The Empress Dowager was a bit annoyed. She always thought that with Old General Ye's love for this great-granddaughter, as long as Ye Wenyan heard these words, she would definitely be moved and would certainly arouse her hatred for Old Madam Ye, thus giving her a little gratitude.>>> 。As long as there is a shred of gratitude, she can properly ask for what she wants. 。But now it seems, Sister Ye Si appears to be too calm. 。The Empress Dowager didn't question it, which means she's helping our Madam in hiding this matter. 。“Ye Wenyan twitched the corners of his mouth and offered a sneer. ‘Now that time has passed and circumstances have changed, my grandfather is gone. Even if I hold onto these matters, what can I do If I ask, will the old Madam admit it Or will Empress Dowager be willing to testify for me, and together we’ll report this matter to the Lin’an Prefecture or the Ministry of Punishment En, if Empress Dowager truly is willing, then after resolving my grandfather’s case, I’ll treat Sixth Prince’s wounds. How about that’
How about that
The Empress Dowager frowned, ‘How…'” 。She hadn't reached the point of openly confronting Old Madam Ye, let alone using General Ye as leverage in their dispute. 。Just like Ye Wen said, all she had were snippets from the imperial physician and her own speculation. 。And even this single-sided statement cannot possibly be considered as evidence. 。She did this, wanting Ye Wenyan to investigate alone and didn't even consider getting herself involved. 。It seems that what we sought today cannot be accomplished. 。She shook her head, her expression a mixture of despair and hatred. 。She said to Ye Wen, "No matter what your relationship with Yanhuagong is, I am after all the Empress Dowager of Beqi. You don't take me seriously at all Today, as long as you nod, as long as you heal Lu'er's injuries, how could I possibly mistreat you Do you really have to be so vengeful and insist on making things difficult for me" Ye Wen hated hearing this kind of talk the most. She stood up, didn't say a word, and strode out. 。
The Empress Dowager Li panicked: "Wait! What else do you want I can promise you anything!"
"I don't want anything..."
"She was blunt. “To be honest, I wouldn't have wanted to know the truth about my grandfather’s death from you.” 。Even if you agree with me, you wouldn't be able to stand beside me in court and expose the truth. 。Everything still needs me to look up myself, so what's the use of me listening to you Empress Dowager, I'm not really willing to deal with you because back then you made me die once. I'm a vengeful person, how can I turn over and heal my enemies” She looked at Li Taizi, "I still say the same thing, if you can produce solid evidence and witnesses today that Old Madam plotted against my grandfather, and stand up yourself to testify, then I might consider it. " 。Unfortunately, you can't stand up, and your power doesn't allow you to. 。Then all you've done before is pointless. 。The old woman cannot be recognized, and no one else can be recognized either. 。"
Empress Dowager Li's anger flared. She had made this request humbly today, but who knew her fourth sister was so unyielding; not even a sliver of a gap could be found. 。"You're really not willing to treat the Sixth Prince, Ye Wen" she started grinding her teeth. "No cure," 。She answered concisely. 。Finally, the Empress Dowager Li reached her limit: "Do you believe that I wouldn't hesitate to risk my life to kill you"She laughed, "Aren't you afraid that the Emperor would take his anger out on the entire royal family"She laughed, and so did the Empress Dowager Li. They both laughed like maniacs. 。By then I will be dead, so who cares about the royal family. 。"I am not a member of the Li clan, so why should I care about incurring their anger"
"What about the Li family then" Lian Shi asked, "Empress Dowager, have you thought this through Today's actions will do your Li family no good at all."
"I've said what I have to say. As for your statement about wanting to kill Fourth Sister, you Li family are sure to get caught in the crossfire." 。“ I’m still smiling, “Even if it involves the Li family, I can't interfere. An unmarried daughter is like spilled water – once she leaves, she's responsible for her own destiny. Let them seek their own fortune.” 。"Oh, that's how it is! Then how do you plan to kill me" "In this palace, I am the one who decides!" This was Empress Li's confidence. 。Yet Ye Wen disagreed. "It's pointless to calculate," she said, "Even if you include the entire palace, let alone just the inner court, once I decide to leave, no one can stop me." 。"Don't believe me Just try it!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out, saying as she went, "A daughter who marries out is not like water that has been splashed away. You and your natal family are mutually supportive and rely on each other..." 。You were born there, your family is all there, put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, do you really not care about their lives or deaths 。She stepped out of the door, and both Shi Tong and Zhu Er followed close behind, like two valiant warriors, one holding onto the other in the warm darkness. 。The little girl was even starting to look around for a suitable weapon, like if there was a brick she could pry up from the ground. 。Then some female guards jumped out and surrounded her. 。Ye Wen smiled as brightly as a flower, but if it wasn't the 15th of every month, these people wouldn't even be enough to fill her teeth. 。She crouched down, her hands quickly crushing a sprig of plum blossoms. Spiritual energy surged from her fingertips, making her hands as hard as iron cones. They instantly plunged into the ground, soon pulling out a jade brick. 。She handed the jade brick to Zhuier: "Try it on first to see if it fits. If not, we'll exchange it for gold." 。After he finished speaking, the whole person suddenly came to life. 。Take the initiative and attack those female guards first. 。
Empress Li stood by the window, her eyes fixed on Ye Wenyan's every move. As early as when she saw Ye Wenyan able to draw a jade brick from the ground of Yong'an Palace with one hand, she knew that her female guards were probably no match for this Ye Si Jie.
Unfortunately, before she could regret taking back the female guard, Ye Wenyan took the initiative to attack and unleashed a massacre. 。Maybe it wasn't exactly murder, because Ye Wen didn't kill anyone. She just knocked the female guards to the ground and then ordered her maidservants to finish them off. 。That maid named Zhuai'er was also extremely ruthless. With a jade brick, she swung it with a whooshing wind, every blow aimed for a kill. 。Ten female guards, in the blink of an eye, changed this Yong'an Palace into a scene of corpses strewn across the ground, blood flowing like a river. 。
Zhui'er was completely stunned. The jade brick fell to the ground with a crack, splitting into two halves. The girl trembled in fright.
Ye Wen patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, after this kind of scene happens many times, you will get used to it. After killing so many people like this, you won't have much psychological burden." 。I'll teach you some tips later, so next time it won't be so bloody. 。Beside the window, Empress Li’s hatred surged…already dead, and there's no way to separate us. You guys should figure out what to do with the government. As the head of the Ye family, I am willing to write you a document proving that you and Jing...
