Chapter 49 So exciting
He Qiumao was thinking and looked at Ye Lanzhou in the corner. He saw that she was being led by a eunuch and was walking out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Her expression was full of fear. She seemed to be inconvenienced and reached out to support the eunuch beside her after taking two steps.
She doesn't look like she is frightened. Besides, how could a pregnant woman dare to manipulate such a situation?
There are people within the Jinyiwei's authority that they dare not touch, but Ye Lanzhou is obviously not among them. A nobleman with no background is not enough to make the Jinyiwei afraid.
Xie Chengyan didn't know how Ye Lanzhou succeeded, but as early as when she heard He Qiumao say that Qin was dead, Xie Chengyan guessed that she was going to seek revenge on the Ye family, so at the palace banquet, he deliberately looked at Ye Qingshang a few more times.
After the palace banquet, Ye Qingshang was sent back to the Ye Mansion. The royal family and the nobles all left the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Jinyiwei and Dongchang guards surrounded the hall.
Xie Chengyan led his men out of Donghua Gate and saw a figure in front of him. He stretched out his hand to dismiss the people behind him and said to the people not far ahead: "Today's palace banquet is really wonderful. This is the first time I have seen such a show."
Ye Lanzhou heard the noise, turned around, smiled faintly, and said, "A little drama."
The light outside Donghua Gate was dim, just the right level for Xie Chengyan to feel comfortable. He lowered his head and grasped the brocade belt, exerting a slight force and pulling it off. Then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Lanzhou in front of him. He said coldly, "Do you know how many minions the Jinyiwei have in the palace? If you take revenge in front of the palace and the higher-ups find out, what will happen to you?"
Ye Lanzhou tilted his head, pretending to be ignorant, and stared at Xie Chengyan with a pair of seductive eyes: "Your Highness, are you not going to protect me?"
"Why should I protect you?"
Ye Lanzhou took two steps forward, deliberately shortening the distance between her and Xie Chengyan. Xie Chengyan watched Ye Lanzhou getting closer and closer to him, without taking a single step back. He only heard her say, "Just because the prince and I are in the same boat, if I die..."
She paused, then moved a little closer to Xie Chengyan, and whispered in his ear, "What should we do with the late emperor's body?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a suffocation in his neck. It was Xie Chengyan who reached out and grabbed his neck. He leaned over and whispered in Ye Lanzhou's ear, "Ye Lanzhou, be careful with your words next time. I hate it most when someone threatens me, especially someone I saved."
She was strangled so hard that she couldn't speak. She opened her mouth to breathe, but found it was useless. Her hands climbed up to Xie Chengyan's hands that were pinching her throat. The scene in front of her gradually blurred, and her legs fell to the ground uncontrollably.
In a hurry, Ye Lanzhou used up his last bit of strength and pierced his tiger's mouth with a silver needle in his sleeve. A tingling sensation came over him, and he suddenly let go of his hand.
Ye Lanzhou slumped on the ground, breathing in the air in big gulps. His vision gradually became clearer and he felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell.
"Save these tricks for dealing with the people from the Ye Mansion!"
He only left these words and turned away, leaving Ye Lanzhou slumped on the ground. She rubbed her throat with one hand. Xie Chengyan had used too much force this time, and if it had been a little longer, she would have fainted here.
Xie Chengyan seemed to be very disgusted with people threatening him with benefits. He couldn't stand a slight temptation and almost killed her.
