However, in order to make everyone in the Ye family believe what he said, he still asked directly.
"Brother, you've arrived just in time. I was just about to ask you why you ordered someone to set fire to my yard."
Shangguan Lingyun raised the corners of his lips slightly and said with some disdain.
"My royal brother, your reaction is truly too slow. It's been so long, and you've only just discovered that it was I who set the fire?"
Shangguan Yu: "You..."
Shangguan Lingyun chuckled, "Why, are you angry already?"
"You've thrown so much dirty water on me, and I'm just repaying you a little, and you're not happy about it?"
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he glanced casually at Ye Fan beside him.
"Are you Ye Fan?"
Ye Fan stepped forward and bowed to Shangguan Lingyun.
"Your Highness, I am Ye Fan."
Shangguan Lingyun raised an eyebrow. "You are quite handsome and capable, but I heard that your eyesight is not very good."
Ye Fan: “…”
How come even the prince knows that he has poor eyesight?
That's not right. In the entire Great Xia Kingdom, only Xiaoxiao has mentioned that his eyesight is not good. How did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about it?
While Ye Fan was wondering, Shangguan Lingyun spoke again.
"It just so happens that His Royal Highness Prince Yu has explained to you today the pros and cons of the book club. You must consider it carefully."
Ye Fan was about to answer, but saw Shangguan Lingyun waving his hand casually.
"You don't need to say more to me, just prove it with your actions."
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he stopped talking, and Ye Fan had no choice but to shut up.
Shangguan Yu stood there somewhat awkwardly. Seeing that Shangguan Lingyun had no intention of leaving, he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
"I still have to go pay my respects to my mother, so I won't bother you any more. When I have time in the future, I will come and apologize in person."
Ye Pengcheng knew that he was talking about Ye Xinxin, so he just smiled faintly, nodded, and sent the person away.
After Prince Yu left, Ye Pengcheng looked at Shangguan Lingyun somewhat bewilderedly.
Shangguan Lingyun glanced at Mrs. Ye not far away, and then said to Ye Pengcheng.
"General Ye, the Queen Mother wants to see you and Madam Ye, and she specifically asked me to deliver a message."
Ye Pengcheng frowned. It was against etiquette for court officials to meet the queen.
Shangguan Lingyun seemed to see through Ye Pengcheng's thoughts and said coldly.
"I think it's about the two young ladies of the Ye family. I will go with you."
Ye Pengcheng was a little puzzled as to why the queen insisted on seeing them and asked the prince to come in person to deliver the message.
Shangguan Lingyun didn't give him too much time to think and pointed at Mrs. Ye not far away.
"General Ye, please bring your wife and go with me."
Ye Pengcheng had no choice but to let the four sons of the Ye family leave, while he and Shangguan Lingyun walked towards Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye met Shangguan Lingyun for the first time, so she didn't know him.
Just by seeing the respectful look on her husband's face, she knew that Shangguan Lingyun's identity was not simple.
Therefore, when they walked towards her, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but take a few quick glances at them.
The man was wearing a black python robe which made his figure look particularly slender.
His long black hair casually draped behind him, making him look a little lazy and casual.
The facial features are delicate and beautiful, but the eyes are a bit sharp, and there is a hint of the aura of a superior.
After Ye Pengcheng brought Shangguan Lingyun to Mrs. Ye, he saw her looking at Shangguan Lingyun and immediately introduced his identity.
"Madam, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye was so shocked that she stood there and forgot to react.
She didn't expect that the dog man she had just heard about from Ye Xiaoxiao was actually standing in front of her.
Seeing Mrs. Ye lose her composure, Ye Pengcheng immediately coughed lightly as a reminder.
Mrs. Ye came back to her senses immediately after hearing the sound and saluted Shangguan Lingyun nervously.
"Your Highness, I greet you. I am ignorant and have offended you many times. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Shangguan Lingyun had long been accustomed to other people's fear of him, so he just said lightly, "It's okay," and stopped talking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Ye Pengcheng immediately told Mrs. Ye the purpose of Shangguan Lingyun's visit.
"Madam, the Queen has summoned us. Please come with me quickly. Don't keep her waiting for too long."
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she looked at Ye Pengcheng nervously.
"My husband, you've arrived just in time. The Empress has just summoned Xiaoxiao. I was worried that Xiaoxiao might be impolite and offend the Empress."
"Since the Queen has summoned us, let's go quickly. I hope Xiaoxiao doesn't get into any trouble."
Madam Ye was already very worried, and now she became even more anxious when she heard that the Queen had summoned her.
He didn't even bother to look at Shangguan Lingyun any longer, and urged Ye Pengcheng to leave quickly.
However, when Shangguan Lingyun heard that the Queen had summoned Ye Xiaoxiao, his heart suddenly tightened.
At today's palace banquet, the Queen originally planned to let him choose the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor as the Crown Princess.
But he already had someone in his heart, so how could he marry another woman?
So, in order to prevent the queen from arranging a match for him, he accidentally told her that he already had a woman and that she was pregnant.
After hearing this, the queen no longer cared about Miss Liu and began to question him.
Shangguan Lingyun knew the queen's character. If he didn't say it, the queen would send someone to investigate herself.
In order to prevent the Queen from causing unnecessary trouble, he had to briefly tell the Queen about Ye Xiaoxiao's matter.
He knew that the Queen would definitely summon her after she learned about Ye Xiaoxiao's situation, but she didn't expect the Queen to act so quickly.
