Chapter 166 The person who treats him so well
People like Xie Chengyan are too scheming. Although both of them have seen each other naked, Ye Lanzhou still can't figure out this person.
He would accept someone who favored him, but he would always be wary, just like he was with her. Once they put on their clothes, they would start testing each other again.
After a long while, Ye Lanzhou finally spoke: "Okay, I'll go check it out."
Since Xie Chengyan dared to give her the power, she was not afraid of the trouble of the investigation. After all, Yan Su was her patient now. Now that her patient was threatened, she, as a doctor, could not stand idly by.
She ordered all the servants in the palace to come out, using the excuse that the palace had lost a military newspaper, and made the servants stand in the yard one by one waiting to be searched.
This approach is too ostentatious, but it is indeed the most effective.
Her identity really did not carry much power. The people in the mansion who were well behaved still remembered that although Ye Lanzhou did not have the power to be the head of the family, he was still half the master after all, so they had no doubts and stood in a row in the yard.
But it was different for a few troublemakers. The grooms in the palace were all undisciplined, and their work was almost completely detached from the palace. Moreover, Xie Chengyan's palace was not far from the Forbidden City, so he walked there most of the time. If he wanted to leave the capital, he would drive his own horse.
Therefore, the grooms in the palace were no different from those in sinecure positions, which made these people even more rampant.
Jian Xing was responsible for helping her call people over. She also knew that those grooms were most likely not spies. The stables of the palace were just south of the palace, and Yan Su's residence was in the north. Those grooms stayed in the stables and on duty in the south all day long, so how could they go there?
The spy should be the greenhouse worker or the sweeper.
But since she had said it, and she allowed these grooms to decide not to come, wasn't that just slapping herself in the face? Even if the matter was settled today, wouldn't they still bully her in the mansion in the future?
Ye Lanzhou crossed his arms, surveyed the crowd, and then said to Jian Xing, "Tell those who haven't come yet that they're guilty of not coming, and I'll treat them all as criminals. Come to me tomorrow to get the medicine, and you'll be poisoned to death."
Jian Xing paused. Is this... too extreme?
During the time Ye Lanzhou lived in the mansion, he had always been kind and amiable. How could he be like today, constantly talking about poisoning?
For a moment, I thought Ye Lanzhou was joking and was about to put on a smile to get by, but when I looked up, Ye Lanzhou wasn't joking at all. His face was stern, the corners of his lips were tight, and his eyes were filled with coldness...
He does look a bit like the prince.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the eaves in the distance. Xie Chengyan was standing there quietly, his eyes fixed on Ye Lanzhou, as if he was admiring the usually obedient person who finally showed his claws to outsiders.
That was his tacit agreement, and Jian Xing understood, so he said nothing more and turned around to reply.
Xie Chengyan was still standing not far away. A few snowflakes fell on his fox fur coat, then melted and seeped into his fur.
Ye Lanzhou's appearance reminded him of his time in the Forbidden City. He was clearly a noble who had just entered the palace, and was trying hard to maintain his dignity while confronting the Shangyao Bureau and Siyao in the palace.
When she was in the Forbidden City, she had to put on airs in order to survive, but now it was only because there was a spy in his house.
In fact, he has always known that his mother had arranged spies in his house, but he was too lazy to look for them, and there was no reason to look for them. He was cautious in his work, and he would not leave any evidence if it was a secret that could not be told.
The only one was Ye Lanzhou, a living person who treated him so well.
