Chapter 174 Underestimating Him

"I'd like to ask, does the princess know who the other helper Marquis Mu Yuan mentioned is?" In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Su Xing was very respectful.

According to what Ye Wan said just now, Marquis Mu Yuan has another helper, and he is very powerful and can help him control the court.

No wonder Ye Wan was moved. Since there was no hope of marriage with Ye Linghan, she simply decided to cooperate with Mu Yuanhou.

This would not only avenge Ye Linghan for canceling the engagement, but also allow the Princess's Mansion to gain more benefits.

But Ye Wan said rudely: "I don't know."

Su Xing was stunned, and his heart sank. This was troublesome. He didn't know who it was and how to deal with it?

Ye Wan's face immediately turned cold when she saw Su Xing's expression: "It seems that I think too highly of you..."

Su Xing was startled and quickly explained: "I am thinking of a solution. Please give me some time, Princess."

The most urgent thing is to determine who the helper is before we can find a way to deal with it.

Without waiting for Ye Wan to respond, he asked again: "May I ask Princess, has Marquis Mu Yuan met anyone since he came here?"

Since he is a helper, he will definitely contact me after he escapes from the Ministry of Justice.

Ye Wan frowned when she heard this, and then said with an unhappy look: "No."

Su Xing was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask: "Did he pass on the message to the outside world?"

Ye Wan's serious face showed obvious impatience, and she looked like she was about to say no, but she suddenly paused when the words came to her lips.

Su Xing immediately pricked up his ears and looked at Ye Wan expectantly.

"I heard from the servants..." Ye Wan said coldly as she recalled, "He once sent someone to look for the pigeon..."

Pigeon? Su Xing suddenly shuddered!

It must be used to deliver a message, and it is not in the imperial city, otherwise he could have sent those killers there.

"Do you know who it is?" Seeing Su Xing's expression, Ye Wan's eyes instantly became sharp.

Su Xing paused and said carefully: "It is not certain yet, but I have a guess."

"Who is it?" Ye Wan asked sternly.

Su Xing shuddered unconsciously, but said, "I can't tell the princess yet."

He still couldn't completely trust Ye Wan. What if Ye Wan came here in collusion with Mu Yuanhou?

Maybe Ye Wan didn't believe him at all, and told Mu Yuanhou and the others directly after hearing Luo Linger's report.

Mu Yuanhou is so cunning that he has many ways to persuade Ye Wan to dispel her suspicions, and at the same time he came up with a more vicious plan to find him here...

"How dare you!" Ye Wan's face suddenly turned cold as ice, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Don't think I won't kill you..."

"Princess, calm down!" Su Xing hurriedly explained, "I didn't say it because I was afraid that someone might have ears. I'm not so bold as to conceal it on purpose."

"What the princess doesn't know is that Marquis Mu Yuan is cunning and scheming, so we have to be on guard against him."

Seeing that Ye Wan's complexion had improved, Su Xing continued, "Don't worry, Princess. I will never do anything that is detrimental to you in order to save my life. Please trust me."

Su Xing's words made Ye Wanyi's eyes change from arrogant to meaningful. She used to think that Su Xing seduced Ye Linghan with his good looks, and he left her beautiful daughter alone and fooled around with a dubious man.

But now she doesn't think so. Maybe they all underestimated this man. After all, Ye Linghan is not the kind of person who would give up his interests just for the sake of sex.

Ye Wan's eyes made Su Xing very nervous, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Doesn’t Ye Wan believe him?

Although part of what he just said was false, the important part was true.

Just when Su Xing was secretly worried, Ye Wan finally spoke: "I never trust anyone, but today I give you this opportunity."

"You'd better not let me down..." Although Ye Wan was old, her aura was very terrifying: "Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death..."

Su Xing was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he was frightened by Ye Wan's last words. Although he didn't want to embarrass himself, his voice was still a little trembling: "I... obey your command..."

Ye Wan glanced at Su Xing condescendingly and said, "The day after tomorrow, Marquis Mu Yuan will send the Queen Mother back to the palace. I promise to prove their innocence in the court."

the day after tomorrow? Su Xing suddenly remembered that Mu Yuanhou and Xia Yunxi had promised last night that it would be two days later, which happened to be the exact time.

"I speculate that the helpers that Marquis Mu Yuan mentioned will also arrive on that day..." Ye Wan said solemnly.

Su Xing nodded: "I think so too..."

What Marquis Mu Yuan wants more than just Ye Wan proving his "innocence" is to control the Ye Kingdom and become its next ruler.

"Before that, you'd better think of a countermeasure!" Ye Wan suddenly changed the subject, staring at Su Xing with eyes like knives: "Otherwise... I will kill you the first time..."

Su Xing was frightened, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Ye Wan, so he clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "Don't worry, Princess. I haven't lived enough and don't want to die."

Ye Wan didn't say anything else. She glared at Su Xing fiercely, then turned around domineeringly and left the house with the help of her mother-in-law.

Su Xing's legs felt weak, and if he hadn't been tied to a chair, he might not have been able to stand.

But now is not the time to be afraid, he needs to adjust his state quickly and come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Two days later, Marquis Mu Yuan and Xia Yunxi returned to the palace in a swagger.

Ye Wan also secretly ordered someone to take Su Xing there. In the palace, he met Li Taifu, Liu Yan and other ministers.

Liu Yan also saw him and was immediately shocked.

Seeing that he was about to come to find him, Su Xing quickly shook his head and signaled him with his eyes not to act rashly.

Liu Yan understood and nodded immediately.

"Marquis Mu Yuan! What do you want to do!" Before Marquis Mu Yuan could speak, Tutor Li pointed at him angrily and scolded him.

Marquis Mu Yuan smiled leisurely and said, "Don't worry, Grand Master Li. I came here today to tell you that the Queen Mother and I were both slandered by Ye Linghan. The real traitor is him, not the Queen Mother and me!"

"What nonsense!" After all that had happened, Li Yuan no longer believed that Ye Linghan was plotting a rebellion: "You have done so many evil things, and there is evidence, yet you still want to deny it!"

Marquis Mu Yuan was not in a hurry to explain, but turned his gaze to Ye Wan: "Princess, what is the truth... please tell me..."

Ye Wan and Mu Yuanhou looked at each other, their expressions still dignified and majestic, with no sign of change.

Then, she scanned the hall and stopped at a certain spot for a moment.

Su Xing was right there, and he immediately nodded to the eldest princess.

Ye Wan withdrew her gaze with a normal expression, looked at Li Yuan who was full of anger, and slowly said: "Master Li, I was threatened by Marquis Mu Yuan and the Queen Mother..."
