In an old courtyard, in the darkness of the room, a man gulped down the delicacies in front of him, like a starving ghost about to be reincarnated.

When he swallowed the food, he looked at the two of them, slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, wiped the dirty sleeves of his mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the people guarding him.

The two stood outside the door like pines, and one stood in front of him, squinting and smiling.

Seeing that Ye Ziyuan finished eating, he hurriedly looked at him and said attentively.

"Lord Ye, is this food still to your liking?"

The person in front of him opened his throat, sharp and piercing, and everyone had goosebumps when they heard it.

"Father-in-law, what news is there from the master?"

Ye Ziyuan stared at the fifty or sixty-year-old father-in-law in front of him, dressed in civilian clothes, bowing and bending over with a flattering appearance.

Now Ye Ziyuan is out of power, but he can serve a master together, today is down, but his day is not necessarily, since he can become Emperor Chu's confidant in just a few months, and become the commander in charge of the palace guards, then he will definitely be able to turn over one day.

So now you have to wait for him, if he really turns over, it will always be good for him.

It's better to get to know each other well, at least Ye Ziyuan hasn't lost his use value yet.

"The master is still tracking down the assassin, and I want to return your innocence to Lord Ye, the master will let you stay here for a few more days, I'm afraid that in a few days, Lord Ye, you can go back to the palace and continue to serve Your Majesty."

After speaking, Father-in-law Tu hid his face and smiled, but the laughter couldn't distinguish between male and female.

Ye Ziyuan frowned, his hand clenched his sleeves, and his face was a little painful.

Father-in-law Tu also seemed to see what Ye Ziyuan was thinking on his face, and laughed dryly: "Lord Ye, you have been waiting for so long, and it will be the same if you wait for a few more days, the master has worked hard for you, but the person hiding behind is too cunning, and so far the master and General Xiao have not found any clues." ”

Father-in-law Tu comforted, Ye Ziyuan also felt some truth when he thought about it, the only thing he could do now was to wait for news from the prince's side.

And Emperor Chu ordered him never to step into the city for half a step, so that he can't show his face outside now, and if others find out, I'm afraid that the prince will be implicated.

Ye Ziyuan frowned, looked at Father-in-law Tu, and took out a jade jade pendant from his belt, just looking at the texture of the jade pendant, he knew that it was not bad, he smiled and stuffed the jade pendant into Father-in-law's hand, with a smile on his face.

"Father-in-law, I've worked hard for you this time."

"Lord Ye, this old slave can't be collected."

"Who else is qualified to accept it except for you? In the future, there are still a lot of things to ask Father-in-law Tu, this little meaning is that Father-in-law Tu will be under your hands, and when he makes a comeback, Father-in-law Tu will definitely be indispensable to you. ”

Under the mutual shirking, Father-in-law Tu also laughed when he heard this, took the jade pendant with a smile, urged it twice, wiped it with his sleeve, and took advantage of the sunlight shining in the window to see that it was crystal clear, it was a good jade.

"Then the old slave is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, thank you Lord Ye."

Father-in-law Tu took the jade pendant into his arms, and even couldn't help but laugh on his lips, the price of this jade pendant should be expensive.

"It should be me who thank Grandpa Tu, I hope that Grandpa Tu can bring good news next time."

Ye Ziyuan squinted and smiled, and Father-in-law Tu immediately understood what Ye Ziyuan was thinking, and nodded hurriedly.

"The old slave knows, it's not too early this day, the old slave should go back and tell the master, Lord Ye, the old slave will leave first."

Father-in-law Tu glanced at the sky outside the window, and Ye Ziyuan looked out the window with Father-in-law's gaze and nodded at him.

"Father-in-law, please."

He wanted to get up to see Grandpa Tu off the ride, but was stopped by Grandpa Tu, and the sharp and piercing voice sounded in his ears.

"Don't bother Lord Ye to send him off, the old slave will leave first."

"Father-in-law Tu walks slowly."

As soon as the words fell, the father-in-law walked out of the door, but there were two people standing outside the door, but they still didn't move, closed the door for the father-in-law, the door creaked, and after a while, he was the only one left in the whole room, and the light shining from the window was gilded with a layer of afterglow.

Ye Ziyuan gritted his teeth and smashed his hands heavily on the table in a ball.

The gaze is sharp, sharp.

He looked at the dress, he had been wearing it for a long time, and the smell on his body was so bad that he almost vomited.

In the past, he was clean and tidy, and everyone had to call him Commander Ye.

And now? It's really feng shui in turn.

He's going to have to catch that assassin with his own hands!

That damn woman, if it weren't for her, how would he be where he is now?

He will definitely go back again, and he will definitely turn over!

Every time he sees his embarrassed appearance, he can make Ye Ziyuan think of that scene, the woman who doesn't know what to do, and he was played by a woman.

He was used to these days of glory and wealth, and now he was allowed to eat what people ate, and he still couldn't get used to letting him live in such a humble place.

Ye Ziyuan was lying on the cold stone bed, and closing his eyes was the scene in the pavilion.

Those eyes with murderous intent were extremely cold, which made him remember them vividly.

Why did that woman have that look?

It was as if he had a great hatred for him, but he really couldn't remember where she was the most, and he was afraid that he would never forget those eyes.

Of course, if he catches her, he will never spare her!

In the prince's mansion, the eyes of the yin owl stared at the group of people in front of him, as if he was about to tear the people in front of him.

The hand curled up and slapped heavily on the table, and the teacup swayed, and even the tea inside rippled.

The person standing in front of the man didn't dare to look up at the person in front of him, for fear that he would feel scared even when he stood here at the moment, and even his back was cold.

"Your Royal Highness, we have been checking for several days and have not found anything wrong, the people who entered the palace that day were no one except for the ministers of the court and a few princes, as for the palace maids, they are all those palace maids with more seniority in the palace, and the people on Princess An Wu's side are all sent by the queen."

The man bowed and bent down, and at last even his tone became weaker and weaker, and he looked up cautiously to observe the face of the person in front of him, and when he saw that he was not very good, he silently shut up.

The appearance of the sword eyebrows gathered and pondering was not disturbing, and he could only listen to the other party silently.

Chu Yan naturally knew that the people from the queen's faction should have no problems, but he was curious about how the person named Li Lin would sneak into An Wufang.

The palace should be heavily guarded that day, and if no one really brings that woman in, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in.

It's a pity that only Wen Yi didn't feel the wind and cold that day, and everyone else was there.

Wen Yi is also suspicious of the assassin, but he can't figure out how the assassin infiltrated the palace, unless there is an answerer!

He checked many people about this matter, and even Xiao Yongde's side he asked someone to visit him, but there was no news.

Who the hell is the person who wants to frame him!

If he doesn't find out the assassin for a day, he won't be at peace for a day, and now in the court, his father's attitude towards him has obviously become estranged, but he is very good to the fourth child, and he is gentle and considerate in every way, and this discerning person can see who is now winning the emperor's heart.

Once favored, even the status is different.

In the past, he was just a ridiculous waste, but now he flew up to the branch and became the heart of Emperor Chu.

If he were to block that arrow, I wonder what would have happened?

"Last time, His Royal Highness asked the minister to find the palace maid who disappeared in the palace, and the minister found it, but it was ......"

The other minister stopped talking, not daring to continue.

His back was wet, and he was careful to speak.

"Say!"

An order was given, and the tone was tough.

"On the first day of the fourth highness living in the Longcheng Palace, there was indeed a palace maid who sent medicine over, the palace maid was called Magpie, and she had just entered the palace not long ago, when the old minister found her, she had been... It's dead. ”

The man immediately shut up and didn't dare to say anything else.

The curled up hand was already green and abrupt, and his expression was not very good, like black charcoal, which made people dare not approach or offend.

When the Son of Heaven is angry, no one can resist the anger, and the person sitting in front of them is the Son of the Dragon, if there is no accident in the future, he will definitely be the Son of Heaven who is high, how many people can withstand this anger?

"Dead? Where did you find it? ”

The sword frowned, as if he didn't believe what he was hearing.

"That palace maid died after giving the medicine to the Fourth Highness, the corpse, the body was picked up from the waste well in the Huanyi Bureau, and it has been dead for several days, according to the minister's guess, it should have died after sending the medicine to the Fourth Highness!"

The man's expression was abnormal, and his words were a little strange, which made everyone around him look at him.

"Dead? He's dead? No wonder her body could not be found, it turned out to be in the well. ”

Chu Yan muttered, and the three people standing in front of him glanced at each other but didn't understand what Chu Yan meant?

Chu Yan remembered what Chu Yu said, he also went to look for the palace maid that day but found that the palace maid had disappeared, as if she had never appeared.

If the palace maid was in the palace at the time, even if Chu Yu didn't have much appeal at that time, it would be easy to find out a palace maid, and even Chu Yu said that he couldn't find it, then he could only be sure that the palace maid would die after delivering the medicine that day!

Who cares if there are one or two inconsequential people missing from this palace?

So even if the palace maid is missing, no one will notice, and even if they do, what can they do?

If you can't save your own life, how can you take care of other people?

"Before noon tomorrow, I want the details of the palace maid."

Chu Yan commanded coldly, and the person standing in front of him nodded gracefully, not daring to be sloppy.

"Yes!"

"Let's all go down."

With a wave of their sleeves, the three of them didn't dare to stay for half a minute, so they retreated after answering.

Seeing a few people leaving, Chu Yan still had a gloomy face, and his fingers tapped the table to make a pleasant melody, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

The ministers who left the prince's mansion all exhaled heavily, which made them feel like they were carrying a thousand pounds of heavy things on their shoulders in the palace.

has been an official for many years, except for the Emperor of Chu, it is the crown prince who has this qualification to make them afraid.

With this word, even the expression was exactly the same as that of the man sitting on the dragon chair, as if a mold was carved out.

At the same time, there was some unrest in the Xiao Mansion......
