Chapter 364 This is equivalent to exterminating the entire family
"Empress Dowager Yun was originally the late emperor's favorite concubine. However, when the late emperor was ill, he discovered that Concubine Yun was unfaithful, so he asked her to be buried with him." Concubine Dowager Pang told her son what she knew.
"Apart from these, is there any other news about Concubine Yun?" Ye Lixuan asked.
Concubine Pang shook her head, but Nanny Yang beside her suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, not long after those members of the Yun family were buried with Concubine Yun, they all died of illness one by one."
"Dead?" Ye Lixuan didn't expect this.
Concubine Pang said indifferently, "Since the late emperor wanted her dead, how could he give the Yun family a chance to live?
However, the Yun family was wealthy and powerful at the time, and this was also a scandal within the royal family, so they naturally didn't want to publicize it. It's likely that the emperor later secretly executed him."
Hearing this result, Ye Lixuan could imagine how much Concubine Yun hated the Emperor.
This is equivalent to exterminating an entire family!
If they want to get out alive, they have no choice but to resist.
Looking at the expression on her son's face, Concubine Pang earnestly instructed, "Remember, whenever you are dealing with Concubine Yun, you must be extremely cautious.
This incident was a scandal within the imperial family. Furthermore, Concubine Yun and the old Empress Dowager did not get along, and the Emperor already disliked her."
"I've remembered this, Mother, don't worry, this matter may not be handed over to me later. Don't we still have my eldest brother?
He has always wanted to make a contribution, so at worst, I can just give the opportunity to my eldest brother." Ye Lixuan told his mother not to worry.
Why……
After hearing this, Concubine Pang sighed and said, "If it is left to the Third Master, I have nothing to worry about.
Your eldest brother is already dissatisfied with you. If he succeeds, you will definitely have a hard time."
Ye Lixuan thought about it and felt that it was right. Instead of letting the eldest brother do this, it would be better to let the third brother do it. It would also be a way to test the third brother's sincerity towards him.
However, he felt that he should discuss this matter with Xiaoxi before making a decision.
"Okay, I'll remember what you said. If there's a chance, I will try my best to let the third brother go up," he said.
“No, no, no, people’s hearts will change eventually. Besides, Concubine Dong is very ambitious and she is not the type to treat you kindly.
No matter how good a thing is, it is not as good as you yourself." Concubine Pang hoped her son would change his mind.
Ye Lixuan nodded after hearing this: "I will carefully consider what your mother said."
Concubine Pang said helplessly, "If it were before, Mother would certainly not have said such a thing. But, since your brother passed away, Mother has become more concerned. I hope you can understand this."
"I understand!" Ye Lixuan nodded.
For a mother, the pain of losing her beloved son is heartbreaking.
"It's okay as long as you understand. Your mother has asked the kitchen to prepare delicious food for you. Have lunch before going back!" said Master Pang.
"Okay!" Ye Lixuan agreed readily.
After lunch, Ye Lixuan left the palace.
Outside the palace, Ying San was already waiting at the door. Seeing his master from afar, he led his horse and hurried to meet him.
Ye Lixuan and Gu Xiaoxi boarded the carriage. After getting on the carriage, Ye Lixuan waited for the carriage to leave the city gate before instructing Ying San, "Ying San, find someone to inform Ying Yi and Ying Er that they can come back."
"Okay, master!" Ying San took the order and followed the carriage towards the palace. Not long after, he heard the voice of Miss Xiaoxi coming from the carriage.
This, this isn't tinnitus, right?
How do I hear the voice of the girl from the stream?
It’s over, it’s over. There must be something wrong with my ears.
He walked and muttered all the way.
Gu Xiaoxi and Ye Lixuan could hear Ying San's muttering, but there were people outside, so they couldn't say anything?
The carriage returned to the gate of the palace. Ying San knocked on the door and then drove the carriage into the palace.
The palace gate was closed, Ye Lixuan lifted the curtain, and pulled Gu Xiaoxi out of the carriage.
"Miss Xiaoxi, when did you go up there?" Ying San's voice was trembling.
"I followed your master into the palace, and got on the carriage as soon as I came out of the palace." Gu Xiaoxi replied with a smile.
Ying San recalled the situation when he met his master just now. After the master got on the carriage, he lifted the curtain and deliberately looked outside. It was probably at that time that Miss Xiaoxi got on.
"But, but..." He wanted to ask why he couldn't see anyone?
"Okay, first give instructions about finding Yingyi and the others, and then we can talk in the inner room." After saying that, Ye Lixuan pulled Gu Xiaoxi into the house.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ying San nodded happily and ordered the servants around him, "Quick, ask the kitchen to buy more vegetables. Remember not to talk nonsense when you go out."
"Yes!" The servants were very happy because it was the first time they saw their master bring a woman back, and she was holding the master's hand so intimately.
Ye Lixuan led Gu Xiaoxi into the house and the two started talking.
After a while, Ying San came in after giving instructions to others.
"Master, Miss Xiaoxi, everything has been arranged." He couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Tell me, what happened to you after I left?" Ye Lixuan asked.
Ying Sanba told his master about his trip to see the Third Master.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lixuan muttered, "He's right. It was indeed difficult for him to handle this matter at the time. However, if he was really worried about my safety, he would have asked Master Yu to go there."
"Master Yu?" Gu Xiaoxi looked at Ye Lixuan curiously.
Ye Lixuan asked Ying San to bring Master Yu's portrait to Gu Xiaoxi for her to see.
After reading it, Gu Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "I haven't seen this person before. However, they made many entrances to the imperial mausoleum. Maybe they entered from somewhere else?"
"It's not impossible." Ye Lixuan muttered.
Before the two of them finished speaking, they heard the servant's voice outside: "Master, the Third Master is here."
Hearing that Ye Mingxuan was coming, Gu Xiaoxi asked Ying San to put away his cup, then turned and entered the space.
Ying San came back after pouring the tea and saw that the girl Xiaoxi had disappeared again. He was reluctant to close his mouth.
"Don't be so ignorant." Ye Lixuan said indifferently.
"Yes!" Ying San said and stood by to serve.
After a while, Ye Mingxuan and Wei Kong walked in quickly from the door.
"Second brother, when did you come back? Why didn't you ask anyone to inform me? I even asked Master to look for you." He said with some complaints.
"I came back in a hurry, and I didn't dare to bring anyone with me. I went to the palace to meet my father as soon as I came back." Ye Lixuan replied calmly.
"Have you seen Miss Xiaoxi? Did she also come to see you?" Ye Mingxuan asked with concern.
Ye Lixuan shook his head: "You know where I went. Ordinary people can't get close to it. Besides, she doesn't know where I went."
