Chapter 82 How could it be such a coincidence?
Ye Lanzhou searched the mansion for a long time and found that there was no place to hide the body.
This conclusion was not just based on what she saw. It had been some time since the late emperor's death. If the body was really in the Ye Mansion, no matter how well it was preserved, it should have smelled like a corpse. But now the Ye Mansion was the same as usual.
That night, Ye Lanzhou was lying on the bed, bored, and took out three coins from his clothes. Since he couldn't find the money, he decided to tell his own fortune.
This was the method taught to her by the old temple priest in Nanyang. Although she studied medicine and did not believe in these mysterious things, the divinations the old temple priest gave her were very accurate.
The temple keeper said that Qin would eventually die because of Ye Lanzhou. Ye Lanzhou was still young at the time and thought it was alarmist and a curse on Qin, so he chose not to believe the temple keeper's divination.
But who would have thought that the temple keeper's words would come true.
Ye Lanzhou held a jar with three coins in his hands. He silently chanted for a moment, then poured the three coins onto the table. After six times, Ye Lanzhou silently chanted: "Vermillion Bird sits on the Ying Yao, Si Fire stirs secretly..."
The hexagram says that the emperor's body is in the south.
She had calculated with great concentration, and the result made her ponder. This South was Duonan, but it wasn't the South of the Ye Mansion. So where was the South then...?
The candlelight in the room flickered, but Ye Lanzhou didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was the wind blowing in from the window that ignited the candlelight.
She didn't raise her head until Xie Chengyan was standing in front of her. He walked silently and appeared in the room like a ghost. She was so startled that the jar in her hand almost fell to the ground. Her body trembled the moment she saw Xie Chengyan.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see Xie Chengyan smile.
"Why is the prince here again?"
"Let's see how the Ye Mansion treats the noble lady." Xie Chengyan looked around her room as if he were in his own room without any hesitation, "I came to you to ask for your praise."
Ye Lanzhou was puzzled: "What kind of skill is it?"
"The palace has almost finished investigating the incident of the eldest daughter of the Ye family being framed at the palace banquet. I stopped it, so it won't harm you."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
"Just words? I've heard plenty of verbal thanks."
Ye Lanzhou was stunned. Wasn't this the time before the palace banquet when he had murderous intentions towards her? He actually said such words.
Seeing her pause, Xie Chengyan lost the mood to tease her and said, "Come with me. Someone in the mansion is sick."
Ye Lanzhou was shocked. She was about to go to sleep when Xie Chengyan suddenly barged in and tried to drag her away before she could react. She asked in shock, "What's wrong? How are you leaving? Didn't you climb in through the window?"
Xie Chengyan didn't take it seriously. He looked out the window at the low wall of the Ye Mansion and asked, "Can the wall of the Ye Mansion stop you? Didn't you climb over the wall smoothly in Nanyang? You even injured someone."
As he spoke, he slowly approached Ye Lanzhou. His figure was familiar to her, and she immediately remembered the man she had knocked down after falling from the low wall that day. Coupled with Xie Chengyan's words, Ye Lanzhou suddenly realized, "Was that you? Not someone from the government office?"
"I never said I was from the government office. It was you who came up and called me sir."
Ye Lanzhou immediately regretted it, and later when he saw Xie Chengyan, he went to him to complain.
How could such a coincidence happen...
