Meanwhile, Ye Zeyu, who was in the carriage, also felt his cheeks burning.
It wasn't until I put the mask back on that my cheeks cooled down a little.
He never knew his reaction time would be so slow.
On the battlefield, even when facing three enemy generals, they could not harm him in the slightest. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by a young woman!
"Oh!"
A joyful laugh escaped his throat, amplified many times over in the quiet night.
Xiao Ce, sitting in front of the carriage, shuddered involuntarily upon hearing Ye Zeyu's laughter.
The master has actually fallen for that Su Muxi!
Will his master hold him accountable later?
After all, he had previously boasted that he would share his master's burdens and marry Su Muxi...
"master…"
Just as Xiao Ce was about to explain himself, he saw someone running towards him at high speed from not far away.
The steel knife at his waist was drawn instantly, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
"Who goes there! State your name!"
Hearing Xiao Ce's loud shout, Ye Ziyu in the carriage also became alert.
The man who ran over hurriedly called out, "Commander Xiao, it's me, Zhao Chen!"
As they drew closer, Xiao Ce recognized the person and said to the carriage, "Master, it's Zhao Chen."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyu immediately lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out.
Looking at Zhao Chen running up to the carriage, he asked coldly, "Didn't I tell you to bring men to protect the Su family? Has something happened?"
Zhao Chen shook his head, "The Su family is fine, but my subordinates found the Second Prince's men nearby."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zeyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Chen, asking in a cold voice, "Is that person still nearby?"
"exist."
"Kill him, do it cleanly and neatly, then throw the body in front of the Second Prince's residence."
At this moment, Ye Ziyu was like a demon emerging from hell, his voice so cold it seemed to freeze people, and his murderous aura was terrifying.
She was a completely different person from when she was with Su Muxi.
After Zhao Chen left to carry out his orders, Xiao Ce spoke up, "Master, aren't you afraid that by provoking the Second Prince like this, he might harm the Princess?"
Ye Ziyu, who was originally radiating coldness, instantly warmed up after hearing the word "Princess".
"My second brother is no pushover. Do you think that if I don't provoke him, Ye Zerui will behave himself and stop causing trouble for Xi'er?"
"Since Xi'er is destined to be my queen, there's no need to hide it anymore. Let Ye Zerui know what kind of fate awaits him who tries to take advantage of my woman!"
Xiao Ce nodded in agreement, "Our master is so domineering, he should be taught a lesson by the Second Prince!"
But I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
Again, it's Xi'er, again, one of my women...
Others say that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman.
But his master just happened to be stuck on Su Muxi, this ugly woman.
"well!"
Perhaps he was too engrossed in his thoughts, for Xiao Ce unconsciously let out a sigh.
Ye Ziyu raised an eyebrow. "What? Feeling disappointed?"
Xiao Ce was puzzled.
Disappointment?
Sensing the coldness emanating from Ye Zeyu, Xiao Ce seemed to understand why his master had asked that question…
"Your Majesty is wise. I have no designs on the Princess Consort whatsoever. My remarks last night were merely because I thought Your Majesty disliked the Princess Consort, and I simply wanted to share Your Majesty's burdens!"
Ye Ziyu looked at Xiao Ce kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "Go back and receive ten strokes of the military rod!"
snort!
Do you think Xi'er is ugly?
What a terrible eye!
Half an hour later, Ye Zerui, who had already lain down, was suddenly awakened by the guard Ji Cheng.
"Your Highness, the spy we sent to the Su residence has died, and his body has been dumped at the gate of the residence."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zerui's drowsiness vanished instantly, and he quickly sat up in bed.
"Dead?!"
"Let's go! Let's go see the body!"
Ye Zerui, wearing only an undergarment, strode towards the gate of the mansion.
Upon seeing the scout's corpse, he showed no anger whatsoever; on the contrary, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha…"
"I never expected that my dear brother would get angry over an ugly woman!"
"interesting!"
Although Ji Cheng had been by Ye Zerui's side for nearly ten years, he still couldn't figure out Ye Zerui's thoughts.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Your Highness, should we send someone else to keep an eye on the Su residence?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zerui's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling expression.
"What? Do you think the flowers in the garden aren't blooming enough?"
Ji Cheng understood and lowered his head.
Ye Zerui turned around, preparing to go back to his room to continue sleeping.
But after taking only two steps, they stopped again.
"Ji Cheng, do you think Ye Ziyu might just be using that ugly woman as bait, doing all this on purpose for me?"
Before Ji Cheng could speak, Ye Zerui continued, "No way! Tomorrow I'm going to see that Su Muxi myself. I want to see what's so special about that ugly woman! I heard that old fox Qiao Xiuyuan is quite fond of her!"
"Interesting! Interesting!"
Ji Cheng followed behind Ye Zerui without uttering a word.
Although Ye Zerui was asking him a question, he didn't actually need an answer, because Ye Zerui had his own thoughts and already had the answer in his mind when he asked the question.
If his answer differs from Ye Zeyu's, suffering some physical pain might be the least of his worries; the real fear is losing his life because of it.
So he had long been accustomed to keeping silent.
In front of Ye Zerui, the less you talk, the longer you live.
Seeing that Ye Zerui had left, the gatekeeper asked the guard beside him, "What should we do with the body?"
