In fact, King Ling recruited Dongfang Ye not just for the sake of King An's death, but for another matter that could not be announced to the outside world. King An was missing, or to put it another way, King An was robbed from prison.
This matter was wrapped up very tightly, and no one except King Ling’s confidants knew about it. King An’s case has been finalized, but the execution date has not yet been decided. On the one hand, because King An’s case involves too many people,
The Ministry of Punishment repeatedly considered how to impose the sentence. On the other hand, because King An was too powerful before, although most of the forces were wiped out or assigned to other people's hands, they were still worried that someone would break them up into pieces and hide them.
All around the court.
As long as King An doesn't die, he can draw out those people and dismantle them one by one.
Unexpectedly, King An disappeared before those people showed up.
All the gates of the capital are heavily guarded. Although martial law is no longer in place, investigations are still carried out strictly. It is impossible for King An to leave the capital, so he must still be hiding in the capital to avoid causing panic in the capital. Now they can only conduct secret investigations in the darkroom.
But this will add a lot of trouble.
The two decided on the direction of the search and talked for a long time before Dongfang Ye left Prince Ling's Mansion. Thinking of Chu Xia sending someone to tell him that Liu Yun had left the palace, he frowned. It seemed that the girl was still not calm.
He must have become even more angry now that he had left her so suddenly during the day.
He cautiously entered the house and walked to the door of the room. Surprisingly, the lamp was still on. He was stunned outside the door and then pushed the door in. Sure enough, he saw Liu Yun sitting on the bed with a book in hand, his clothes folded.
Come on, it looks like she's waiting for him.
I thought she would deliberately pretend to be asleep and have a cold war with him, but she didn't expect that when she saw him coming in, she actually said to him: "There is a midnight snack on the table. It was just delivered by the late Qing Dynasty."
Dongfang Ye suddenly had an unreal feeling. He had already prepared to sleep in the study tonight, but he didn't expect that Liuyun didn't say sarcastic words to him. Instead, he was as considerate as before and had people prepare for him when he came home late.
Night snack.
While Dongfang Ye was sitting down for a late-night snack, Liu Yun told him about meeting Jin Han and going to the Yan Mansion during the day, and also mentioned about Yan Luyi.
"The Yan family is somewhat similar to the Mu family. Mrs. Yan is the successor and has no real power in her hands. The person in charge of the backyard is the second lady Yan Ruoqing's mother. I heard that Mr. Yan favors the side wife. Although Yan Luyi is raised in Mrs. Yan's room, Yan Ruoyi is
Madam and Yan Luyi are not close. She also has a son who just won the title this year and is now working in the Ministry of Industry." Dongfang Ye is not a gossip, but he still knows a lot about things in the capital, especially Mr. Yan who holds an important position.
He had also investigated the Yan Mansion.
"No wonder." Liu Yun muttered. She felt very strange when she saw Mrs. Yan's attitude towards Yan Luyi today. She thought that if the biological mother and daughter should not be so estranged, now that she heard Dongfang Ye explain it like this, she immediately understood.
The two chatted for a while about the Yan family's affairs. As for the matter about Yan Luyi mentioned by Liu Yun, Dongfang Ye promised to send someone to investigate. Although he could not interfere with other people's housework, he could still help secretly.
After a long time, he finally sat on the edge of the bed and asked her carefully: "I heard that Guiren Wu had a miscarriage?"
Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded without saying anything.
"Then are you still angry?" There was a hint of anxiety in his dark eyes.
However, the person he was looking at was looking back at him silently. His eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles under his eyes. She thought of how tired he was from running around and working hard these days, but she was still causing trouble for him at this time.
, looking at his anxious look now, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
When she came to the capital, she told herself that she just missed him, so she came to see him. She never wanted to cause trouble for him, but what is she doing now? Let this exhausted man, in her
He was cautious in front of her, worried that she would be angry, and was cautious with a smile on her face. How could she be so virtuous and capable that he should treat her like this?
"What's wrong, please don't cry first. Even if I am wrong, okay? You can do whatever you want. If you want to help Wu Guiren, I can also help. But the child is gone, so I really can't do anything.
"Before Dongfang Ye finished speaking, Liu Yun burst into laughter.
The smiling face with tears in it turned out to be so charming in a different way, which made Dongfang Ye lose his mind.
"I'm sorry, I was willful." Liu Yun threw herself into Dongfang Ye's arms, hugging him and refusing to let go, murmuring her apology, "I was just acting up, I shouldn't have made things difficult for you."
Monk Dongfang Ye was really confused by this sudden move. Even though he claimed to be extremely intelligent, he still couldn't guess Liu Yun's uncertain thoughts. This girl really left him at a loss as to what to do.
The cold look towards him during the day still flashed through his mind repeatedly, but now it melted into a puddle of tenderness, which was really too much for him to resist.
"Dongfang Ye, you idiot, why are you so nice to me?" A muffled, crying voice emerged from his arms.
He really wasn't sure whether this girl was acting coquettishly or doing something else, so he could only hold her and say nothing, wanting to see what was wrong with her.
When she was coquettish enough, she slightly raised her head and looked at her. Her eyes were red and her face was red. She didn't know whether it was because she was sad or shy, but no matter what the reason was, Dongfang Ye's thoughts were stirred.
.
"Yun'er, you are so hot and cold. My husband really can't handle it." Dongfang Ye couldn't help but whispered through gritted teeth. He was indeed glad that Liu Yun wasn't angry, but that didn't mean that he could endure her.
It rubbed against him like a loach, especially when the soft chest touched his key parts when it rushed over, the impact really brought his self-control to the edge of collapse.
However, the girl in his arms was at a loss. She just raised her head and said to him: "I understand about Yan Luyi's matter. She is Jinhan's savior. I can't directly interfere with the Yan family's affairs.
The emperor still has to put on airs, not to mention that Wu Guiren is the emperor’s woman, so we really can’t interfere in the emperor’s family affairs at will.”
Liu Yun did not help, and Jin Han felt unspeakable disappointment in her heart, because she had a deep dependence on this eldest sister, just like Liu Yun did to Dongfang Ye. Today Liu Yun did not help, although Jin Han and her
She came back, but there was obvious disappointment in her eyes. Maybe she, the eldest sister, had been labeled as cold and heartless, but in fact Liuyun really couldn't find a reason or method to get involved with Yan Luyi.
Just listening to her words, Dongfang Ye understood what she meant. This girl has always been a transparent person. Maybe it was because things happened so suddenly that she suddenly lost her cool. Now it has been a long time.
She also calmed down, and what happened with Yan Luyi and Jin Han made her understand that there are times when everyone wants to help but can't.
She has it, Dongfang Ye also has it, no one can force it on the other.
Looking at the little girl lying obediently in his arms, Dongfang Ye secretly thought to himself that since Yan Luyi made his precious wife no longer angry with him, he would also help her with her matter.
