"He may have thought so, but he wouldn't have done it."

Ye Ying walked to the table and sat down, folding paper cranes with her, "But my father's situation has also gotten worse, if I come a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." ”

There was still a little tremor in her flat voice.

Gu Xin couldn't help but glance at her, "Today, madam, you said you were going to tell me something, right?" ”

"Hmm." Ye Ying nodded slowly, "Since your brother is following the expedition this time, he must also know, I just let you be mentally prepared." ”

As she spoke, she told Gu Xin what she knew.

Gu Xin was a little shocked at first, but when it came to the future, her emotions had slowly calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "I know, no wonder my brother was going to leave the capital but suddenly didn't leave, it turned out to help the general succeed." ”

She blinked slowly, "Then I think that you and your father don't have to listen to the emperor so obediently, as long as you wait until the general comes back, and during this time, you should also contact the ministers of the DPRK and the central government more." ”

"If the ministers all resist the emperor, presumably although he is angry, he will not dare to act rashly."

Ye Ying nodded, "So in the imperial study, I didn't be polite to him, Qi Muyuan was out on a campaign, and he didn't dare to touch me now." ”

It's just that he might be able to find a reason to move the Ye family.

In the face of these major events, she has no time to be sad now, and she only hopes that everyone can spend this period of time safely.

Nothing happened that day, and although Yatingwa's body was much weaker, it did not deteriorate again, which was a fortunate thing.

The next day, the housekeeper sorted out the things that Ye Ying wanted and put them in front of her.

He hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his opinion, "Among these people, the one who has the most chance to contact the palace should be this person." ”

He pointed to one of the names.

Ye Ying paused and raised her head to look at him, "You already know what I'm looking for?" ”

The housekeeper nodded, "Yes, although the old slave is not very smart, but there are many things, and it can be seen that the people in the palace came so quickly yesterday, and he is sure that the old man woke up, it must be because someone in the palace leaked the news, maybe that person has been doing such things since before." ”

Ye Ying nodded and didn't say anything more.

In this house, the one who knows these subordinates the most is the housekeeper, and since he said that this person is the most suspicious, it is not far from ten.

She put the roster aside and said directly: "You go and call that person over, I'll know after the first trial." ”

After these days of management, it is impossible for the housekeeper to underestimate her, since she said that she wants to be tried, there is a way.

After a while, the butler went and brought someone over.

This is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, born white and pure.

According to the information given to her by the housekeeper, this girl is working in the kitchen, responsible for purchasing, and often has to go out of the palace.

Ye Ying looked at her and said slowly, "What's your name?" Where are the people? Why did you come to my Ye Mansion? ”

The little girl glanced at Ye Ying with some incomprehension, and then said slowly: "Slave Xiaoxue, Yingchuan people, came to Ye Mansion because she had no money to bury her mother, so she ......"

"I'm talking about your true identity and origin." Ye Ying interrupted her, looking at the girl standing in front of her with an indifferent expression, "What's your real name?" ”

Xiaoxue was stunned, her eyes flickered, and she said slowly: "Slave maid, her real name is Zhao Erya." ”

'Zhao? Ye Ying smiled, "I thought Yingchuan was the surname of Wang, and so did you." ”

Xiao Xue smiled and said hurriedly: "How can this be a place with the same surname." ”

Ye Ying slowly hooked her lips and did not speak.

She knocked lightly on the table twice, and said, "I remember that there is a big landlord in Yingchuan, called Wang Xian or something, do you recognize it?" ”

The girl's eyes at the bottom flickered, and she said: "The slave maid is just a hard-working girl in the village, where can I see such a character, although the big landlord Wang is famous in our place, but the slave maid doesn't know it." ”

Ye Ying suddenly smiled and took a sip of tea.

The housekeeper didn't understand what she was doing with these questions, and couldn't help but look at Xiaoxue with her eyes.

After a long time, Ye Ying said, "How many years have you lived in Yingchuan?" Want to go back? ”

"The slave has been in Yingchuan since she was a child, but her life is not satisfactory, so she doesn't want to go back."

"Since childhood......

The corners of Ye Ying's lips were a little strangely hooked, "Growing up there, you don't even know the situation there?" How do you tell me to believe? It's better to recruit everything you know, and save a lot of lips and tongues. ”

Xiao Xue's eyes dodged for a moment, and she said with some trepidation: "The slave doesn't understand what you mean, is it because the slave doesn't know the king and the landlord?" ”

"The king of the big land?" Ye Ying chuckled, "There is no such person at all, and the surname there is not Wang, I am telling you, but you, a person who has lived in Yingchuan for so long, don't even know?" ”

Xiaoxue was stunned, and panic flashed in her eyes.

She quickly lowered her head, thinking of countermeasures in her heart, and said slowly: "Slave maid...... The slave went out at a very young age to work with her mother. ”

Ye Ying nodded, "There is also this possibility, then tell me everything you know about Yingchuan before you leave." ”

She said this casually, seeing that Xiaoxue seemed to be thinking seriously, she added: "However, you can guess whether I know about Yingchuan's situation, if I really know, if you say it, I will know that it is a lie." ”

Xiaoxue's face turned pale, she bit her lip, and tightly twisted the corners of her clothes.

She didn't dare to bet, but her move also revealed that she really wanted to make up lies.

After she realized that she had fallen into Ye Ying's trap again, she smiled bitterly and simply admitted it, "Yes, I'm not Xiaoxue, and I'm not Erya, since Miss can find me, she should guess that I'm from the palace." ”

The housekeeper's eyelids jumped slightly, and he didn't speak.

Ye Ying looked at her quietly, "Seeing that you are also a transparent person, then I will ask directly, are you willing to help me?" Don't think about lying, I can tell. ”

Xiaoxue was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "If I don't help you, what will I do?" Conversely, what's in it for me? ”

Ye Ying slowly smiled on her face.

As long as she asks this sentence, it shows that it is not non-negotiable.

She hooked her lips and looked at Xiaoxue: "So, what do you want?" ”

Xiao Xue thought about it seriously for a while, and finally sighed and said, "I don't know, so I still trouble you to make a request, if I think it's appropriate, I can help you." ”
