Ye Wanqing looked at Murong Yan's gentle smile. After experiencing the kidnapping case and having that long and extremely tragic dream, she suddenly figured out some things.
Ye Qingshan's behavior chilled her heart. How could her biological father be so heartless and indifferent? The blood relationship was worthless in the face of interests!
She spoke calmly, "The General's Mansion has nothing to do with me anymore.
Although he gave birth to me and raised me, he only wanted to use me as a pawn to make money, in order to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, and to become a high-ranking official.
I died on the way, but he just felt that my death was shameful. This kind of person is not worthy of being my father, nor is he worthy of your efforts to save him.
He has repeatedly plotted to murder the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince, and he deserves his punishment."
"Qingqing..." Murong Yan frowned, wanting to comfort her but didn't know where to start.
"Your Highness, you don't need to comfort me, I'm fine."
Ye Wanqing lowered her head. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't sad. When she thought about it, how many people around her in the past were truly kind to her?
But now she has so many people around her who love and care about her, she is already very lucky.
Although these people all regarded her as Shen Xu.
"I have Shen Xu's father and brother by my side, accompanying me and caring about me. And you, who have always been so good to me, believing in me and understanding me.
I am really happy. Knowing you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me in my life."
Murong Yan held her hand and said in a gentle tone, "It is my greatest luck that I could meet and fall in love with Qingqing under such circumstances."
Ye Wanqing lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness, my brother Ye Fan and I didn't live a decent life in the general's mansion in the past.
My stepmother and step-sister often bullied us. Although my father raised me, he was preoccupied with currying favor with the powerful and how to behave respectably, and he seldom cared about us.
But Brother Ye Fan is very good to me. We rely on each other. He loves me and cares about me very much. He would rather suffer himself than let me suffer.
He had great ideals and wanted to revive my grandfather's general's mansion, but all of this was ruined by my father.
Now that the disaster has occurred, I only ask Your Highness to find a way to save his life."
Ye Wanqing frowned. She was actually not sure whether Ye Fan knew about it, but she would rather believe that he was unaware of it. She believed that Ye Fan was just deceived by his father and that was why he committed the act of murdering the prince.
She was silent for a long time, then she pulled Murong Yan's sleeve and said firmly, "My brother is really a very good person."
At this moment, Fu Yi came in from outside with a candied haws. Hearing her say this, he was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth, and said in a gentle and magnetic voice: "Oh, of course."
Then, Fu Yi turned to Murong Yan and said in a cold tone: "How dare you, you bastard, say bad things about me behind my back!
Are you trying to sow discord between us siblings? Fortunately Xu'er knew right from wrong and defended me.
Xu'er, let's go. Don't bother with this two-faced villain anymore."
Ye Wanqing quickly stood up and explained for Murong Yan: "No, no, big brother, you misunderstood. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything bad about you. I wasn't talking about you. I was just, ah, I was just praising you to him."
She winked at Murong Yan, who nodded knowingly and said, "Yes, Ah Xu thinks you..."
Murong Yan thought for a long time and said, "Yes, he is very skilled in martial arts."
"Hmph, do I need you to tell me that?" Fu Yi held the paper bag of candied haws in his hand, and his warm demeanor returned to normal.
"Xu'er, eat the candied haws while they're hot."
Ye Wanqing took the paper bag from Fu Yi's hand and saw the golden meatballs inside were still steaming. The sweet and rich scent of osmanthus filled her nose, making her appetite increase immediately.
She immediately picked one up and put it in her mouth. The mellow and sweet taste that melted in her mouth and the lingering sweet fragrance of osmanthus instantly dispelled all the dark clouds in her heart.
The candied haws at Yunlai Restaurant are absolutely delicious.
"Your Highness, eat it while it's hot." She handed it to Murong Yan attentively, but turned around to see Fu Yi standing beside her, calmly wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Ye Wanqing quickly took one and put it into Fu Yi's mouth, saying with concern, "Big brother really loves me the most. It took us half an hour to go to Yunlai Restaurant and back. Big brother came back so quickly. He must be tired from running."
Fu Yi was stunned at first, then he swallowed the golden candied haws, feeling the mellow sweetness, and his mood became extremely good.
He whispered, "Who is your big brother? Black-faced Fox! I flew back directly using Qinggong. Are you worried that big brother came back too quickly and disturbed your private conversation?"
Ye Wanqing denied it, "No, no, I've already finished talking to His Highness, let's go home, it's time for Father to leave the court.
Well then, Your Highness, take good care of your injuries and we will come back to see you another day."
Murong Yan felt a little reluctant and said, "Qingqing, please stay and have lunch before you leave."
"No, no, my brother and I sneaked out." Ye Wanqing declined and said to Fu Yi, "Brother, let's go."
…
On the other side, in the Marquis' Mansion, Liu Zhang heard that the case had been transferred to Murong Yan this morning, and he felt something was wrong.
Judging from Murong Yan's attitude yesterday, he obviously didn't want to kill Ye Qingshan immediately, so what was his purpose in delaying?
Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of the kidnapping of the Crown Prince to purge the Three Emperors Party?
Liu Zhang frowned slightly. Once the case was investigated in detail, the fact that he had stabbed Master Shen would be exposed. Not only would he be in trouble, but everything he had done to marry his young wife would be in vain.
He quickly regained his composure and said respectfully, "My Lord, I would like to see Prince Shen. I would like to discuss some details regarding the assassination of the Crown Prince."
Of course, Lord Chen would not let him see his daughter. He remembered that Ye Wanqing's voice had not changed back yet. How could he let anyone know that the prince was a girl?
So he began to decline, saying, "My son Xu'er is still recovering from his serious injury and cannot see guests. Liu Zhengqing, please go back. As for your marriage with A Rao, I will speak well of this to the Madam on your behalf."
Liu Zhang weighed the pros and cons for a moment and then said, "Oh, that's right. Actually, when I was sorting out the case of the Crown Prince's assassination at the brothel, I discovered some details.
However, these details must be confirmed with the Crown Prince himself, as they are crucial clues in confirming the Crown Prince's kidnapping case."
Lord Shen looked embarrassed, worried that the person Liu Zhang caught was the kidnapper, and had discovered the secret that the prince was a girl and confessed it.
At this time, Fu Yi came in from outside and said, "Father, Xu'er heard that Lord Liu from the Dali Temple has arrived, and wants to talk to him about the kidnapping case."
Lord Shen frowned and asked, "Is her body okay?"
"Well, not for too long."
