In the study of Prince Duan's mansion, there stood a man dressed in gray, who looked so ordinary that he could not be found in a crowd.
At this moment, this person was standing there facing Prince Duan Ye Changyou with neither arrogance nor servility.
Looking at the person who came, Ye Changyou looked impatient, and it was obvious that he didn't have much patience to deal with the person.
"What do you want from me?" Ye Changyou asked, looking at the visitor with suspicion in his eyes.
The subordinate came to report that this person wanted to see him urgently.
But when he saw this person, he lost all interest.
The visitor obviously sensed Ye Changyou's emotions, but he showed no sign of retreating. He simply bowed to Ye Changyou calmly and said, "Our master has received some news and has sent me to report it to Prince Duan."
Upon hearing this, Ye Changyou immediately became suspicious, "Who is your master?"
The visitor said nothing, only had an unfathomable look on his face, "Prince Duan, there are some things that are better left unasked."
That attitude showed that he didn't take Ye Changyou seriously at all.
As a prince of the royal family and the only legitimate son, Ye Changyou has a natural sense of superiority. How could he tolerate such rude treatment?
He immediately said angrily, "You are so outrageous! Believe it or not, I will drag you out and kill you right now!"
The visitor was not afraid at all when he heard this. He just looked at Ye Changyou and said, "It's easy for Your Highness to kill me, but if Your Highness accidentally becomes an enemy of my master, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
Ye Changyou couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and he had already begun to wonder who this person's master was.
Judging from this man's appearance, his master must be no ordinary person.
But, looking around the capital, there are only a few people who have such rampant subordinates, then...
"Prince Duan, there is no need to guess. I am only here to deliver a piece of news of great importance to Prince Duan's Mansion. If Your Majesty does not wish to hear it, I will leave."
Having said that, the man did not turn around, but looked at Ye Changyou, as if waiting for Ye Changyou's decision.
Seeing this, Ye Changyou hesitated for a moment.
He felt like he was being led by the nose.
But the words "important news for Prince Duan's Mansion" said by the other party made him excited again.
What kind of important news is this?
For a moment, Ye Changyou felt itchy in his heart.
Thinking of this, Ye Changyou relaxed his expression and said, "Tell me now. If the news is not as serious as you said, I will not let you off easily."
Upon hearing this, the visitor made a respectful gesture just right.
Seeing this, Ye Changyou felt a little relieved, but soon, Ye Changyou's face changed after hearing the words of the visitor.
"What did you say?"
Ye Changyou was so shocked that he stood up from his seat, looking flustered and embarrassed.
However, the visitor did not say much, but simply bowed to Ye Changyou and said, "Since the message has been delivered, I will take my leave."
After saying that, the man looked at Ye Changyou meaningfully and then left.
Ye Changyou had no time to care about him at the moment, so he didn't say anything.
As soon as that person left, Ye Changyou started pacing around the study room anxiously, his mouth blazing with anger.
Wasn't the kidnapping case already closed? It clearly fell on the eldest brother's head, so how did he get tracked down again?
Thinking of this, Ye Changyou couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Originally, he hadn't thought of doing these things, but who could tolerate something that came easy?
Who wouldn't be tempted if they could get a large sum of money just by asking him to help provide a cover?
If he aspires to that position in the future, he will need money to bribe people, and he is just planning for the future.
But he didn't expect that the matter would be exposed and could be traced back to him.
"They are all a bunch of trash!"
Ye Changyou gritted his teeth.
But Ye Changyou also knew that this was not the time for him to get angry.
After pacing back and forth for a while, Ye Changyou finally called his staff to discuss countermeasures.
However, Ye Changyou forgot that he was involved at this time, and none of the staff in the mansion knew about it. He was the one who did all this secretly.
As soon as Ye Changyou finished speaking, the staff members were stunned and seemed to be caught off guard.
Finally, one of the aides suggested, "Your Highness, since this matter has been exposed, I think it's best to confess..."
When Ye Changyou heard that he was to confess his guilt, he immediately became furious and said in a deep voice, "Come here, take him away and beat him to death!"
"Your Majesty—"
The aide was terrified and wanted to beg for mercy.
However, Ye Changyou had made up his mind, so his subordinates came over and silenced him.
Then, the sound of beating was heard, and the group of staff were silent, no one spoke.
Seeing this, Ye Changyou felt satisfied.
However, Ye Changyou at this moment did not know that his actions had chilled the hearts of his staff.
After that, the staff members naturally did not dare to speak freely, so before they could come up with a strategy, the emperor summoned them from the palace.
As soon as he entered the imperial study, before Ye Changyou could look up, a cup hit him directly on the forehead, and blood immediately gushed out.
Ye Changyou didn't dare to wipe the blood off his face, he just knelt down immediately, "Father——"
"You bastard, what a good thing you did!" Ye Kunlin was extremely angry.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance." Ye Changyou crawled on the ground and used the same method as the staff member he had beaten to death.
Because he couldn't think of any other way along the way, after thinking it over, he decided that it would be better to just admit his mistake.
After all, the matter has already reached my father's ears, so it is useless to defend myself. Perhaps admitting my mistake directly can reduce my father's anger.
After all, the news of Prince Ji's punishment was blocked before, so no matter how angry the emperor was, he would not start a war.
Ye Changyou’s idea was correct, but Ye Kunlin obviously wanted to vent his anger today.
Seeing Ye Changyou plead guilty, Ye Kunlin had no intention of letting him go. He just said in a deep voice, "Come here——"
When the guard came in, Ye Changyou couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ye Kunlin looked at Ye Changyou coldly and said in a deep voice, "Drag Prince Duan away and give him fifty lashes!"
The guard was stunned when he heard this.
Ye Changyou was also shocked.
Fifty lashes!
If he really got beaten with fifty sticks, wouldn't he have lost half his life?
Thinking of this, Ye Changyou quickly pleaded, "Father——"
"What are you standing there for? Drag him away for me." Ye Kunlin did not give Ye Changyou a chance, and gave Ye Changyou a warning look when he said this.
The guards immediately dragged Ye Changyou away.
However, when the board had hit him 20 times, the queen arrived.
In the end, the queen had to use up most of her dowry to end her beatings.
However, the Queen originally wanted to find out the whole story with Ye Changyou. After all, when she was notified, the Queen didn't know what had happened. But the Emperor was obviously not going to give her this opportunity and directly sent Ye Changyou back to Prince Duan's Mansion and placed him under house arrest.
When Su Jingchu heard the news, she was shocked. "What? The prince was beaten by the emperor? Do you know why?"
