"It's okay, he will appear again." Ye Chen didn't care. Such a person couldn't accomplish much, but with such good lightness skills, it would be easy for him to trick you.
No wonder the Ye Mansion was so heavily guarded, yet this person still managed to find Aunt Hua. The strange thing was why she didn't do it herself? If she could quietly send a message to Aunt Hua, why didn't she do it herself? Did she really trust their people to be traitors? And someone who hadn't been used in decades?
"Well, since she was able to get those four people to cover her departure in Wuzhou, and this time even the people here have to cover her departure, it means that she is the most important person in Luojiazhuang. Then when we take action in other places later, we should have a chance to meet her again." Xiao Mu was involved in the Wuzhou affairs from the beginning, and he was very clear about the whole thing.
"Well, let's talk about it when we get back. There are a lot of weapons here. Let's take them back and see where they come from. If we just rely on buying, it's impossible to get such a large quantity, and it's such high-quality pig iron." Ye Chen looked at the feather arrow that passed in front of him and was caught by Bai Li thoughtfully.
In his previous life, when he was looking for Chen Qiu's body, he destroyed an iron mine by the way. After that, he never investigated it in depth because he found Chen Qiu's body shortly afterwards. Then Ye Chen took poison and lay in the ice coffin where Chen Qiu was. When he woke up, he was reborn.
Chen Qiu and the people from the Ye family had been in the Queen's Yiku Palace. When the noise outside gradually died down, the time on the clepsydra was already the end of the Yin hour. Chen Qiu was guarding the door of the Yiku Palace with a sword in her hand. Her relatives were inside, and she had to stay here regardless of whether today's plan could be accomplished or not.
Until she saw Ye Chen coming from afar, she first walked step by step, and then simply used her lightness skills to fly over and threw herself directly into Ye Chen's arms. This was the first time that she was not by his side when Ye Chen was doing something dangerous.
"It's okay." Ye Chen caught Chen Qiu who was rushing towards him.
"How is it? Is the palace relatively safe?"
"Well, it's okay. We came back here after you left. I thought it was about time, so I came out to wait for you." The two walked into the Yikun Palace together.
The emperor and his men heard a voice coming from inside. Ye Chen saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Ye Chen is back to report. Everything went well."
"Okay, but this matter is not the most important today. The most important thing is after dawn. What should we do with so many people after they are captured?" The emperor spoke as if he was asking Ye Chen, but he already had an idea in his mind.
"Your Majesty, can I go see someone before dawn?" The speaker was Chen Qiu.
"Who do you want to see?" The emperor looked at Chen Qiu, but seemed to know who she wanted to see.
Ye Chen guessed who Chen Qiu wanted to see in an instant, "Qiu'er?" He pulled Chen Qiu's hand. Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen and smiled, then patted Ye Chen's hand to reassure him.
"Your Majesty, it is Gu Ruojin whom I want to see. Please grant my wish." Chen Qiu performed the etiquette between monarch and subject to the emperor.
Two quarters of an hour later, Ye Chen and Shen Qiu's carriage arrived at the Ministry of Justice's Sky Prison. Shen Qiu was wearing a white fox fur cloak with a large hood covering her face. "Husband, you won't go in?"
"No, Qiu'er knows what to ask, so just go and ask."
Chen Qiu entered the Ministry of Justice prison. Because of what happened tonight, the prison was almost full. There were more than a dozen people crammed into a small cell. They were leaning on the cell door, looking out, crying out for justice, and the sound of banging on the cell door. The place was already smelly, and the sudden increase in the number of people made it even more difficult to breathe.
The only cells here that were the quietest were the two innermost cells facing each other. In one of them, there was only Gu Ruojin, and the people opposite her were from the Gu family. Including Gu Ruojin's father, there were only Mrs. Gu and two concubines, and two who should be Gu Ruojin's sisters.
Chen Qiu stood in front of Gu Ruojin's cell door, looking at the person sitting on the stool inside who was still calm and composed. Chen Qiu didn't say anything, just looked at Gu Ruojin.
"Since the Duke's wife is here, are you going to just stand there and not ask anything?" Gu Ruojin took a sip of water from the coarse pottery bowl in the cell. It was such a broken coarse pottery bowl, and there was only clear water in it, but she felt like she was tasting famous tea from a famous kiln.
"Yes, I came here to ask you something." Shen Qiu admitted directly.
"Excuse me, Madam Duke."
"Do you know about the poisoning of my son? Are you involved?" Chen Qiu directly asked what he came here to ask.
"That's it?" Gu Ruojin was a little surprised. She thought it would be Ye Chen who came. After all, they had a past, and the change in her status should be a big shock to him. Unexpectedly, he didn't come, but his wife came instead.
It would be fine if it was his wife who came, but he should at least ask some questions about Luojiazhuang, such as his status in Luojiazhuang, how much he has done for Luojiazhuang and what he has done. He didn't expect that it was just this one thing?
"Yes, that's all I want to know." Shen Qiu said frankly.
"Apart from this matter, does Madam have anything else to ask on behalf of the Duke?" Gu Ruojin asked Chen Qiu again while playing with the ceramic bowl in her hand.
"There is only this one thing. My husband will handle his own affairs. If he wants to ask, he will come. I won't make decisions for him." Chen Qiu shook her head. It's not that Chen Qiu doesn't mind their past, but even if she minds, she can't change it. It will only make her worry about gains and losses. The future is a matter between herself and Ye Chen. It is not worth it to affect her future life because of others.
Gu Ruojin didn't expect Chen Qiu to say that. She was stunned for a moment, then stood up and stood in front of Chen Qiu.
"I didn't know and I didn't participate. By the time I found out, the young master was already unconscious." Gu Ruojin didn't lie, she just concealed one thing. She concealed the fact that she had the antidote because Shen Qiu didn't ask.
"Okay, I believe you."
"Why do you believe me?" Gu Ruojin had never known Chen Qiu. As the most outstanding spy in Luojiazhuang, she almost subconsciously avoided all information about Chen Qiu. This was undoubtedly a big failure for her.
As a spy, she fell in love. Shen Qiu finally married Ye Chen and received almost all of Ye Chen's love in a short period of time. She did not dare to approach this person. She was afraid that she would see something in Shen Qiu that would move Ye Chen, and these things were not in her.
Gu Ruojin married Chen Qingyun as her second wife, partly because Chen Qingyun considered the interests of her family, and partly because Luojiazhuang needed Chen Qingyun as Yan Qinglian's student. It was a win-win situation for both parties.
"I don't trust you, I trust my husband. I believe he has excellent vision." After saying this, Chen Qiu put on his hood and left.
Gu Ruojin looked at Chen Qiu walking away, and seemed to suddenly understand why Ye Chen fell in love with Chen Qiu so quickly.
