Chapter 363 I actually guessed it right
"Replying to the Second Prince, the First Prince hasn't entered the palace for more than ten days." The little eunuch replied to Ye Lixuan in a low voice.
Ye Lixuan stuffed a valuable jade pendant into the young eunuch's hand, and the young eunuch smiled brightly.
Gu Xiaoxi was quite happy to get this answer.
If they could give the jade pendants to the emperor earlier than the eldest prince, the eldest prince would most likely be suspected, after all, everyone has the habit of preconceived ideas.
Ye Lixuan thought so too. He was delighted to hear the summons and entered the imperial study.
Gu Xiaoxi followed him in carefully, and immediately returned to her space after entering the imperial study, because she didn't know if there were any powerful masters around the emperor, so it would be safer to hide.
When the emperor saw Ye Lixuan returning safely, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Then, with a smile on his face, he asked, "Second brother, you're finally back. Father sent many people to inquire about the news. I'm glad you're okay. Have you settled the matter?"
Ye Lixuan didn't say much, took out the imitation and presented it with both hands.
The emperor took the jade pendant and looked over it repeatedly. Finally, he nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, this is the one that father often holds in his hand and looks at. Second son, you have made a great contribution."
Hahaha……
He laughed so happily that he could hardly stop. When he turned around, he immediately turned serious and looked at the eunuch next to him: "Eunuch Lin, spread the word that this jade pendant has come into my hands. I want to find out who has the other four jade pendants."
Gu Xiaoxi...
I actually guessed it right!
Ye Lixuan lowered his head, but a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Did the emperor send my eldest brother to do something else?"
The emperor knew that the second son asked this question most likely because he had run into the eldest son's men. Since he couldn't hide it anyway, he simply admitted it.
"That's right, this matter is too big. I am worried that you can't complete it alone, and I am also worried that you will be in danger in there, so I asked your eldest brother to go as well." He looked like he was concerned about the second brother.
Ye Lixuan felt that this face was a bit disgusting, but the world belonged to him, so he could only show goodwill.
So he told the emperor what happened in the imperial mausoleum and handed the scrolls to the emperor to see.
The emperor was already shocked when he heard this, and when he saw the portraits on the scroll, he staggered back a few steps. If it weren't for Eunuch Lin supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"You, you really saw these people?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yes, they live in the imperial mausoleum, but I don't know which concubine that is?" Ye Lixuan asked when he didn't understand.
"If there's nothing wrong with your portrait, then the person you're seeing is Concubine Yun," the emperor murmured, then waved his hand. "You can go ahead. There are some things father needs to sort out."
"Yes, father!" Ye Lixuan bowed and retreated. As he left, he looked up at the expression on the emperor's face.
It is obvious that there is some unspeakable secret hidden in this, otherwise the emperor would not have such an expression.
He did have some impression of this Concubine Yun, but his impression of her appearance was vague.
However, when I heard it was Concubine Yun, the face became clearer.
After leaving the imperial study and about to leave the palace, he was stopped by Eunuch Lin.
"Second Prince, please stay!"
Ye Lixuan stopped and asked, "What are your instructions, Eunuch Lin?"
"His Majesty said that this matter should not be revealed to anyone for the time being." Eunuch Lin said in a low voice.
"Okay!" Ye Lixuan agreed readily, and then went to the harem to visit the original owner's mother.
The original owner's mother was the current Concubine Pang, who gave birth to the second prince Ye Lixuan and the third prince Ye Hexuan.
When Ye Hexuan died on the battlefield that year, Concubine Pang was so sad that she almost went blind from crying.
From that time on, her health deteriorated a lot.
Ye Lixuan was originally an orphan, but now he has a mother in this life, and this mother is very good to him, so he plans to treat her well.
He walked forward slowly. After leaving the palace of the imperial study, he got on a carriage so that Gu Xiaoxi could also get in and sit.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Concubine Pang's palace. Ye Lixuan lifted the curtain and pretended to look around. He waited for Gu Xiaoxi to get off the carriage before he got off.
The servants around Concubine Pang were extremely excited when they saw Ye Lixuan coming.
"He's back! The second prince is finally back. I'll go and report to the queen right away." One of the eunuchs shouted and turned around and ran in.
Ye Lixuan looked at these excited servants and guessed that his mother was probably worried and couldn't sleep day and night.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't know what to ask at this time, so she just walked in silently beside Ye Lixuan.
Ye Lixuan thought of his mother's worries and quickened his pace.
Soon they entered a yard and saw a haggard woman coming out of the house.
"Li'er! You are finally back. Mother heard that you went to the imperial mausoleum and couldn't sleep all day long." She stepped forward and held Ye Lixuan's hand.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the kind-looking woman and had a good first impression of her.
Ye Lixuan patted his mother's hand and said calmly, "Mother, I'm not a rookie. You don't have to worry so much."
"That's what your brother said before he went to the battlefield. In the end, he..." Concubine Pang's nose felt sore again when she mentioned her youngest son.
Ye Lixuan was worried that his mother couldn't control her tears, so he helped her into the house.
Gu Xiaoxi hurriedly followed, and after entering the house, she returned to the space.
Concubine Pang pulled Ye Lixuan to sit down, stepped forward, looked him over, and said, "Why do you look thinner and thinner? But you're a little paler than the last time I saw you."
Can it not be white?
You can hardly see the sun in that place, so the people there have whiter skin.
Gu Xiaoxi sat in the space, eating grapes and listening to the conversation between the mother and son.
It can be seen that Concubine Pang is really worried about Ye Lixuan, and every word she says is full of concern.
Ye Lixuan waited for his mother to calm down, and then he asked the servants to leave.
"Did something happen?" Concubine Pang asked in a low voice.
"Mother, I want to ask you about Concubine Yun." Ye Lixuan said.
When Concubine Pang heard this, she frowned. After a while, she asked, "Why are you asking this? This is a very taboo matter."
"This time, I am doing things for my father, and it involves the matter of Concubine Yun, so I came to ask you, mother. If you know anything, please tell me." This is all Ye Lixuan could tell his mother.
When Concubine Pang heard that his son was working for the emperor, she was also worried that his son would anger the emperor because of this matter, so she finally told him what she knew.
