When Linchuan looked up, he saw Ye Cangming had already kicked a young eunuch away with astonishing speed.
And a dagger actually flew into the little eunuch's hand.
You know, carrying weapons in the palace is a capital crime, and... the attack was against a child.
Linchuan quickly glanced at the little boy beside his master and flew forward.
Just at this moment, the young eunuch got up and tried to escape.
Seeing this, Linchuan sped up, reached out and grabbed the eunuch's collar, pulled him back and threw him to the ground, then stomped hard on the eunuch's knee with quick and decisive movements.
There was a sound of bones breaking.
But the young eunuch didn't even have the chance to cry out in pain before Linchuan broke his jaw.
Out of caution, Linchuan looked at the eunuch's back teeth, only to find that there was actually poison hidden inside.
After prying out the poison, Linchuan stood up and looked at the little boy next to Ye Cangming with some doubt in his eyes.
Where did this child come from in the palace? Could it be that during these years at the border, the emperor had allowed the concubines in the harem to give birth to new children?
After all, there has never been any new person entering the harem.
While Linchuan was daydreaming, Ye Cangming's gaze also fell on the little boy.
The child was about four or five years old, and was very cute. However, there was not a trace of childishness on his face. Instead, he looked calm and steady, which was not appropriate for his age. Even though he had just experienced an assassination, there was no fear on his face, as if assassinations were commonplace to him.
But, I seem to have seen this little guy somewhere before, and he looks quite familiar.
For some reason, Ye Cangming, who never liked children, developed some affection for the child in front of him.
However, when he thought of what the child had just experienced, a nameless fire burst out from Ye Cangming's heart and was difficult to suppress.
While Ye Cangming was looking at the little boy, the little boy was also looking at Ye Cangming.
When their eyes met, Ye Cangming couldn't help but show a bit more approval in his eyes.
You know, ordinary people don’t dare to look him in the eye, let alone the fact that the person in front of them is just a three or four-year-old child.
This boy is destined to be extraordinary!
Thinking of this, Ye Cangming's cold eyes couldn't help but soften a little.
"Thank you, Fifth Uncle, for saving me." The little boy bowed to Ye Cangming. His voice was a cold baby voice, but his face looked like a little adult.
Ye Cangming was not surprised when he heard the boy address him.
When he saw him and felt that he looked familiar, he had already guessed the child's identity.
The only one who could live in this palace, be of the same age and bear some resemblance to him, was the eldest grandson of the second prince Duan, and the only male grandson of the royal family, Ye Yucheng.
Seeing Ye Yucheng thanking him, Ye Cangming was about to say something when he heard Linchuan shout "Oh no!"
Looking back, Ye Cangming's face looked a little ugly.
Because the eunuch who attempted the assassination died with blood coming out of all seven orifices.
To be like this, he must have been poisoned before coming here.
"Investigate!" Ye Cangming only spat out one word coldly.
Linchuan nodded, carried the eunuch's body and left.
Ye Cangming turned to look at Ye Yucheng, "Do you want me to take you back?"
Ye Yucheng: "No need."
As he said this, he took a small step and was about to leave.
At this moment, a soft voice sounded, "Yucheng——"
Then, a beautiful woman in an orange palace dress appeared in the field of vision. However, when she saw Ye Cangming, her voice stopped, and her eyes were full of complexity when she looked at Ye Cangming...
…
On the other side, Su Liyue finally arrived in front of Yongshou Palace under the guidance of the palace servants.
After entering Yongshou Palace, Su Liyue discovered that Ye Cangming had not come. Instead, Queen Mother Qin, who was now about sixty years old, was sitting in front of her. She was dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes, and she looked majestic without being angry.
Seeing the Queen Mother like this, Su Liyue thought to herself that it was bad and gritted her teeth.
She originally thought that Ye Cangming had arrived long ago, causing her to rush here in a hurry, but she never expected that she was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, with no one to share the burden.
Ye Cangming, this is clearly intentionally asking her to bear the Queen Mother's wrath alone.
How despicable!
Su Liyue gritted her teeth and for a moment forgot to salute Queen Mother Qin.
Seeing Su Liyue standing there without bowing, Madam Lu, who was beside Queen Dowager Qin, glanced at Queen Dowager Qin and angrily scolded her, "How dare you, Su Liyue, not bow to the Queen Dowager? Don't you respect the Queen Dowager?"
The charge of 'not respecting the Queen Mother' was a serious one, even if Su Liyue was a bit weak.
So, Su Liyue imitated the plot in the TV drama and knelt to the Queen Mother, saying, "Granddaughter-in-law pays respects to the Royal Grandmother."
When performing the ceremony, Su Liyue looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose.
However, Queen Mother Qin did not say a word, and the entire hall was filled with dead silence.
It was not until Su Liyue felt her legs slightly numb that she simply stood up.
Seeing this, Madam Lu was furious. "How dare you! The Empress Dowager didn't ask you to get up. Who allowed you to get up?"
Su Liyue tried to endure it, but finally decided not to endure it anymore.
Even if she did what they wanted, judging from the current situation, she might not end up in good shape.
So Su Liyue simply looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Grandmother, if you want to punish your granddaughter-in-law, there must be a reason, right?"
She doesn't like beating around the bush.
But someone has to bring it up.
Since the Queen Mother is unwilling to speak, it is fine for her to open the door.
