Ye Chutang's eyelashes twitched slightly: "What do you mean, my lord?"

Chen Yanchuan said, "Three years ago, Huo Yucheng marched rashly, resulting in tens of thousands of soldiers being killed in Tongtian Pass. Bones piled up and blood flowed like a river. His Majesty was furious, and more than a hundred members of the Huo family were executed. The court was also in a state of panic, and everyone distanced themselves from the Huo family. Only Lord Ye, who was the doctor of the Ministry of Justice at the time, knelt outside the palace gate for a long time to plead for General Huo, which resulted in him being demoted to Wuzhou, and eventually died in an accident on the way north."

As he spoke, he calmly studied the expression of the girl opposite him.

Ye Chutang's expression was calm, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"This volume is the file of General Huo's case." Chen Yanchuan said, "I thought Miss Ye Er might be interested in it."

The way he addressed Ye Chutang changed from Doctor Ye to Second Miss Ye.

——This file is related to the truth of that year, and it is very likely that it also contains the answer to Ye Zheng’s death. As his daughter, Ye Chutang cannot remain indifferent.

Ye Chutang didn't say anything.

Xiaowu also noticed that the atmosphere in the carriage was not right. He looked left and right, and put his little hand on the second drawer, but did not move.

But this silence did not last long, Ye Chutang quickly made a decision.

"Your Highness has given me such a great gift. What do you want me to give you in exchange?"

Shen Yanchuan curved his thin lips.

I have to say, Ye Chutang really has a very smart mind.

Trading with smart people does save you a lot of trouble.

Chen Yanchuan's deep gaze fell on that gentle and beautiful face: "Transactions should be fair. I don't ask for much. I just need Miss Ye to tell me everything that happened when the incident happened that year."

Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly, and the aura around him instantly became alert: "What?"

"The people who know the truth of the matter best are the parties involved. Although three years have passed, Miss Ye Er is very smart and should still remember the situation clearly." Chen Yanchuan seemed not to have noticed the subtle change in her tone and looked at her frankly: "Three years ago, the group of people you met were not ordinary bandits, right?"

The air seemed to have stopped flowing, and even breathing became dangerous.

When Ye Chutang saw the file, she knew that Shen Yanchuan must have some plan, but she really didn't expect that he actually wanted to ask this.

"It happened a long time ago, and the situation happened suddenly. I was only concerned with taking Ah Yan, Ah Feng and Xiao Wu to escape as quickly as possible in order to save my own lives. As for the identities and origins of those people, I am not very clear about them." Ye Chutang said lightly.

"oh?"

Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Miss Ye Er, do you really not remember anything at all?"

Ye Chutang knew that Shen Yanchuan would not believe a word of his words.

But his meaning was now very clear - he wanted to exchange the file for her truth.

If it were any other condition, Ye Chutang could refuse without hesitation, but the files in the Dali Temple were strictly sealed, and if she wanted to get it on her own, she didn't know how much effort it would take.

He made her an offer she couldn't refuse.

After a moment's silence, Ye Chutang raised his eyes and looked straight at Shen Yanchuan: "These things seem to have nothing to do with the prince. Forgive my stupidity, but I really don't know why the prince wants to wade into this muddy water?"

Shen Yanchuan seemed to smile.

He leaned back, his tone cold and casual.

"What if I've already been in this muddy water?"

…

Xiaowu picked up a longevity lock inlaid with colorful gems and gold wire, and there was a small bell made of pure gold underneath, which jingled.

She put it away carefully and placed it neatly in the wooden box next to her.

There were already quite a few gold and jade artifacts inside, which would be rare treasures if placed outside. But now, as there was no place to put them, they were stuffed together.

She was very careful in her movements, on the one hand because the gifts were very valuable, and on the other hand she was afraid of disturbing her elder sister.

Xiaowu gently closed the lid, turned his head and saw that his elder sister was still reading the book.

Xiaowu scratched his head, rested his chin on the table, and lay quietly.

In my impression, my sister always reads very quickly. It's rare that she can read a book for so long!

The carriage moved slowly, and from time to time there were noises of hawking from the roadside.

However, Ye Chutang seemed to be in a trance, maintaining the same posture and turning the pages one by one.

She lowered her head slightly, her thick and curled eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids, her skin was white and clear, and a strand of hair hung down lightly, like a carefully painted meticulous painting of a lady, but with a rich and vivid aura that hit you in the face.

Chen Yanchuan tilted his head slightly and looked away.

…

Ye Shixian and her companions' carriage returned to the Ye Mansion first and stopped in front of the door.

Ye Mingze got off the carriage first, but turned around and saw Ye Shixian still standing there, looking behind them, as if waiting for something.

"Sister, what are you looking at?" Ye Mingze asked curiously.

Ye Heng also looked over.

Ye Shixian clenched her handkerchief and forced a smile: "Oh, nothing, I just saw that my cousin and the others hadn't come back yet, so I said I'd wait here for a while."

"What are we waiting for them for!" Ye Mingze looked disgusted.

Ye Yunfeng was in the limelight today, and the eldest princess openly supported Ye Chutang. He now wished he could just sever ties with the siblings and never have any contact with them again!

He also looked over there and snorted, "Isn't it normal that their broken carriage is slower than ours?"

Of course, what Ye Shixian cared about was not the two brothers, but Ye Chutang who was riding in the same car with Chen Yanchuan.

Finally, a carriage appeared at the corner of the street. It was the carriage of Marquis Dingbei's Mansion.

Ye Shixian breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Ye Chutang turned to the last page, closed the file and handed it back.

"Thank you, Prince."

Chen Yanchuan said: "You can take this file away."

Ye Chutang glanced at him. It seemed that this prince was quite capable. Not only could he take out the files from the Dali Temple, he could even give them to others so casually.

It seems that he is not afraid of being investigated at all.

But he was willing to give it, but she couldn't take it.

"That's not necessary." Ye Chutang smiled slightly.

If she takes this hot potato back home, it will only bring more hidden dangers.

Chen Yanchuan understood and laughed.

"Miss Ye Er has a photographic memory, amazing."

He took the file away and put it back in the drawer.

The carriage stopped, Shen Yanchuan looked outside, and saw Ye Heng and his companions waiting at the door.

He looked back at Ye Chutang and paused.

"If the Han family needs help, Miss Ye Er can ask for it."

Ye Chutang was about to carry Xiaowu downstairs, but when he heard this, he turned back in surprise.

Han family?

He said Han Yao?

"Thank you, my lord, but there's no need to bother you with such a small matter." Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly, "Someone will help me."

Shen Yanchuan's eyelids twitched slightly.

He tapped the small table unconsciously with his slender fingers, paused for a moment, and then asked casually:

"Xu Rongqing?"
