Mei Xiaoren returned to the house, and the maid was bandaging the wound on Ye Zhi's arm.

The one just now is really dangerous, if she is not there, Ye Zhi and Aunt Ye are afraid that they are already dead souls under the sword.

Ye Mu heard the movement outside before, even though she didn't see any scenes of fighting, even if the matter had subsided, her heart was like a knife, beating her chest, "Ye Zhi, this is retribution, if you are with him again, my mother is really worried about you......"

Ye Zhi interrupted his mother's words and said, "Mother, the adults are still here, my son is fine, my son will be cautious in the future, don't worry." ”

Mei Xiaoren was absentmindedly there, her mind was a little messy, so messy that she couldn't figure out the ins and outs.

"Your Excellency?" Ye Zhi called.

Mei Xiaoren came back to her senses, she heard the conversation between Ye Zhi and Aunt Ye just now, and she could sense that Aunt Ye didn't want Ye Zhi to be with Wei Guogong.

Compared with taking off Huang Tengda, Aunt Ye hopes that Ye Zhi can spend her life in peace and stability, but there is no mother in the world who doesn't care about her son, and she is also a son if she doesn't go with her own wishes.

"Aunt Ye, Ye Zhi, you talk slowly, I'll go first."

Mother Ye hurriedly advised: "If you are free in the future, remember to come and sit often." ”

Mei Xiaoren remembered that Aunt Ye had something to say to her before, and she didn't want Ye Zhi to know, but she couldn't stay here and wait for Ye Zhi to leave, otherwise there would be no three hundred taels of silver here, so she nodded and said hello.

She boarded the carriage and went back to the city, pondering the assassination over and over again.

Why didn't those people kill her, she already had a guess in her heart, but the point was not obvious, just like Jiang Ei said that the prime minister assassinated him, she also guessed that it was the staff of the prime minister's mansion.

But she couldn't understand why Chu Yu went to the suburban hospital, or was he in such a hurry early in the morning of the first day of the new year?

She remembered that Chu Yu went out that day and took Liuyue with her.

Chu Yu and Ye Zhi's mother and son had no contact, and she hadn't mentioned anything in front of him, why did he notice that inconspicuous place and even go to see it in person?

Prime Minister's Office.

Mei Xiaoren walked towards the house with a heavy load on his mind, pondering as he walked, and accidentally bumped into a person who was walking forward with something in his arms.

The man screamed, and everything in his hand was scattered on the ground. He looked up and saw someone coming, and immediately didn't dare to complain anymore, and bowed: "I've seen my lord." ”

Mei Xiaoren recognized him, he was an official of the Wenhua Palace, and he would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion every few days to pick up the recitals that Chu Yu had seen.

She looked down at the folds scattered all over the place and said, "I'm sorry." Then he crouched down and helped him pick it up.

She closed the folded book and placed it beside her.

The official persuaded: "My lord, the next official is ......."

"It's fine."

Mei Xiaoren didn't care about what was written on the fold, but some words could easily catch her attention, such as the one she saw at this time, which not only mentioned her, but also mentioned Ye Zhi......

She didn't care about any taboos, picked it up, and looked at it by the light in the lampstand next to her.

This is a fold handed over by the officials, which is written about her and Ye Zhi's arrest of Shen Zhixin, which is very detailed, and even details how Ye Zhi saved her from falling from the building, and how she helped Ye Zhi leave the Mirror Flower Building......

Mei Xiaoren read it from the beginning to the end, and didn't feel that the officials were asking for credit for her, but it seemed to be praising the deep and righteous love between her and Ye Zhi.

The day on which she was paid was the day she returned.

Although the Prime Minister did not give any instructions on it, he must have seen it, and he saw it on that day.

Mei Xiaoren didn't put the fold back, took it in his hand, stood up and left.

"My lord, it's ...... to fold"

The official shouted behind Mei Xiaoren, but when he saw the hurried footsteps of Lord Fu Yin, he expected that he couldn't stop him, so he had to let the adult go.

Mei Xiaoren walked into the side hall in the night, and when she saw the situation in the hall, her hurried footsteps immediately stopped and stood outside the door.

What she saw was Gu Chuyu sitting on the main seat, and there were four black-clothed people kneeling in front of him.

They seemed to be bidding farewell to their master, dressed in the same nightwear she had just seen on the outskirts of the city, but only two of the four of them showed up at that time. In fact, if she hadn't blocked it, it would have been more than enough for two people to assassinate Ye Zhi.

Mei Xiaoren moved in, his steps became extremely slow, and he asked as he walked, "Xiangye, who are they?" ”

"Other than that, you don't have any other questions you'd like to ask?" Gu Chuyu raised his eyes to look at her.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Mei Xiaoren was stunned for a moment, he didn't even need her to ask, and directly gave her a positive answer.

"Why?" She frowned.

Gu Chuyu beckoned, sent away a few of his subordinates who pleaded guilty, stood up, and walked in front of her.

Before he could speak, his eyes caught a glimpse of the fold in her hand, and he didn't need to open it, just by looking at the cover to know which fold she was holding, but he wanted to know what she wanted.

"What's in your hand?"

Mei Xiaoren replied calmly: "Xiang Ye has seen the excerpts, and I want to explain to Xiang Ye what happened above." ”

"Explain?" The corners of Gu Chuyu's lips raised, "Xiao Xiao, if the person who wants to take his life today is not me, you will protect him with your life, and you can still stand here and explain to me?" ”

The biggest question in her heart was still that, and she asked again: "Why did you kill Ye Zhi, what unforgivable crime did he commit compared to other staff members of the Wei State Mansion?" ”

Gu Chuyu turned around slowly, his back to her, and he didn't want to answer.

"You won't kill people for no reason, if you want to kill Ye Zhi, there must be a reason." Mei Xiaoren said with great certainty.

He said lightly: "If I tell you, will you let me kill him again?" ”

"No!" Mei Xiaoren answered without thinking about it.

Gu Chuyu turned sideways, looked at her and asked, "You know very well that the people of the Wei Mansion are enemies and not friends to you and me, but you protect each other with your life, Xiao Xiao, what is he in his heart?" ”

"It has nothing to do with what it is, I said it before, the grievances between me and Ye Zhi have been cleared up, I don't hate him, I can't watch him die."

"If it is two clear, then what does it matter to you whether he is alive or dead? If you say that you owe him a favor, you have already paid it back once in Jinghualou, is it not enough? ”

Mei Xiaoren turned his eyes to the side, "Who I remember, whose favor I want to repay, what does it have to do with you killing Ye Zhi, stump you really want to kill him because of this letter?" ”

"Why not?" Gu Chuyu asked rhetorically.

Mei Xiaoren shook the fold in his hand, and the more he spoke, the more anxious he became: "When did Xiangye believe in these things that catch the wind and catch shadows?" ”

"I'll just think that someone is chasing the wind and shadows, so isn't your behavior today the same as what is written on the fold? In times of crisis, you always want to let him be stable first! ”

Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable, "If Ye Zhi didn't commit any capital crimes, he shouldn't have died, his life is noble, why can't I let him live first?" She paused, and then said, "Besides, just because I stopped your men from killing people means that I have unclear thoughts about him?" I also saved Chu Zifeng back then! ”
