At Cui Shao's command, the guards took Ye Xiaowei away.

Ye Xiaowei cried and begged for help, and the old lady and Madam Min also sent people to snatch Ye Xiaowei back, but how could the guards of the Marquis's mansion be a match for the guards of the Palace Guard? They were all driven back.

Cui Shao also gave him a stern warning: "I advise you all not to obstruct the court's handling of the case, the consequences of which are beyond your ability to bear! Vice Minister Ye, you should understand this principle!"

The old lady, Madam Min, and the others wanted to rush forward and snatch Ye Xiaowei back, but this time, Ye Cunjin personally led his guards and stopped them.

He gave a deep, commanding shout: "Calm down, all of you!"

The old lady was stunned. She looked at Ye Cunjin for a while, and then at Ye Xiaowei who was being forcibly taken away. Overwhelmed with anxiety, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

Madam Min quickly helped her up, and the scene became chaotic.

Ye Cunjin clenched his fists, his eyes reddening. He suddenly walked up to Ye Qingxue, looking down at her with a voice as sharp as a blade: "You did it, didn't you? Your second uncle has been thrown into jail, are you satisfied now?"

How could I not be satisfied?

Ye Qingxue laughed.

"The fugitive from the Eastern Palace should be staying in prison. How did he escape? Could it be that Vice Minister Ye deliberately released him? If Lord Cui investigates this, things will get interesting."

Ye Cunjin's heart skipped a beat. He had secretly released Changxi with the help of Prince Ding and guided him to Guanju Courtyard.

Cui Shao took the body away. If the investigation traced it back to him, he would be in real trouble. He had to dispose of Changxi's body as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Ye Cunjin suddenly realized that Changxi was killed by Ye Qingxue and then placed in Ye Xiaowei's room!

Ye Qingxue dared to do this because he was certain that once Cui Shao took Changxi's body away, he would have to find a way to dispose of Changxi's body in order to protect himself and Prince Ding, so that Cui Shao would be unable to continue his investigation.

So, no one knows the true cause of Changxi's death.

"You really have some impressive skills!" Ye Cunjin gritted his teeth, his eyes red-rimmed, exuding murderous intent, but he had to forcefully restrain himself.

Ye Qingxue smiled sweetly: "Minister Ye is too kind. This is just the beginning. There will be even more exciting things to come."

After saying that, she turned and left, graceful and proud.

Ye Cunjin clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. He knew perfectly well that she had killed Changxi, but he couldn't let Cui Shao investigate the truth. He could only watch helplessly as she escaped unscathed from this crisis!

What's worse, he had to destroy the evidence for her.
