As the sky gradually darkened, Ye Cangming felt inexplicably anxious.
"Someone come!"
Ye Cangming shouted outside.
Soon, Fu Feng walked in.
Ye Cangming looked at Fu Feng and frowned slightly.
There was a moment of silence in the study.
Fu Feng didn't say anything, and Ye Cangming didn't say anything either.
After a long while, Ye Cangming finally asked, "Is the princess back?"
Fu Feng looked up at Ye Cangming before lowering his head. "A servant came earlier to report that the palace had passed on a message that the Queen Mother had left the Princess in the palace to copy books and she would not be returning today."
When Ye Cangming heard this, his brows under the mask furrowed even more tightly.
Copying books?
Is this the Queen Mother's punishment for her?
Resisting the urge to stand up, Ye Cangming said nothing in the end, waving his hand and saying, "Go out."
Su Liyue beat the Queen Mother's most beloved niece, and copying books was already the lightest punishment.
Besides, that woman was very arrogant when facing him. With her temper, even if the empress dowager did not punish her today, it would be difficult for her to avoid offending others in the capital in the future.
In this case, it’s time to learn a lesson.
Fu Feng turned around and was about to leave.
"etc!"
Ye Cangming called out to Fufeng.
Fu Feng turned around with a questioning look in his eyes.
Ye Cangming: "Have the people I sent out to investigate returned?"
Five years ago, he had no interest in Su Liyue, so he had not checked her out.
However, five years later, he always felt that he saw a familiar shadow in Su Liyue, which forced him to ask someone to investigate Su Liyue.
He didn't even know whether he hoped Su Liyue was Jiuer or not.
He hasn't been like himself lately, so he wants to know the answer quickly.
He was afraid that he would no longer be loyal to Jiuer.
Jiuer once said that a person's heart can only accommodate one person. If his heart contains someone else, even a little bit, she will never forgive him.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangming couldn't help but clench his fists.
Upon hearing this, Fu Feng was silent for a moment before he spoke out the truth: "The prince sent someone there yesterday."
This means that it is too hasty for Ye Cangming to ask this question when less than a day has passed.
Ye Cangming: “…”
A trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Fu Feng coldly, "Get out!"
Fu Feng retreated.
…
Su Liyue, wearing cold, wet clothes, curled up in the corner, unable to help shivering.
Even though she took medicine to dispel the cold immediately, the wet clothes and the darkness in the room still made her have a fever.
Her head hurt and her body felt hot and cold, which made her a little confused.
For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the past, to the scene when she was locked in a small dark room as a child, starving to death.
After a while, she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Su Zhengsong's words repeated over and over in her mind.
The fear of darkness in her heart, the sudden knowledge of the truth that she was pregnant, and the physical discomfort tortured Su Liyue over and over again.
Su Liyue didn't even know whether she was in reality or a dream, and she forgot that she had a medicine box.
Just when Su Liyue was about to lose consciousness, she suddenly felt a soft little hand covering her forehead.
It seemed as if there was a ray of light in the room.
Su Liyue looked up and saw a pair of eyes that looked very familiar.
A pair of cold but clear eyes belonging to a child.
Su Liyue's heart ached suddenly, and looking at those eyes, tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.
"Child...my child..." Su Liyue murmured in a very low voice.
Ye Yucheng didn’t know what Su Liyue was talking about, but looking at the weak Su Liyue, his heart was shocked.
Tonight, he was kept in the palace by the emperor.
As soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed of the imperial aunt.
This was the second time he had dreamed of her.
For the first time, he dreamed that she was taken away by officials, and the feeling was so real that he took a detour to Prince Zhan's mansion that day, but unexpectedly found that the dream had come true.
This time, he dreamed that she was locked in a small dark room in the palace of the Grand Empress Dowager. In the dream, she was in great pain.
Seeing her in pain, he just felt his nose sore.
Then he woke up.
But he didn't expect that what he saw in his dream actually happened.
But why does he always dream about this Fifth Aunt?
Ye Yucheng's heart was full of doubts, and his already cold face became even more tense and serious.
Just when Ye Yucheng was distracted, Su Liyue's hot hand suddenly fell on his face.
Ye Yucheng's whole body trembled, and a strange feeling came over him.
Even his mother had never given him this feeling.
Especially when he met Su Liyue's gaze, he felt a little sour in his nose.
Su Liyue looked at Ye Yucheng infatuatedly, her heart aching, tears streaming down her face again, "I'm sorry, it was mother who lost you——"
When Ye Yucheng heard the word "mother", he took a step back in shock.
My little heart was beating wildly.
Mother——
Ye Yucheng's small, usually indifferent face was full of shock, and his eyes were staring at Su Liyue without blinking, with a barely perceptible expectation in his eyes.
However, Ye Yucheng's retreat made Su Liyue think that "her child" was blaming her for losing him, so he didn't let her touch him, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
"You should blame your mother. You should blame her. I'm sorry..."
"Who's there?"
Just then, a voice was heard.
Ye Yucheng looked at Su Liyue crying sadly and felt very sad.
He really wanted to say "It's okay" to Aunt Five, even though he knew that Aunt Five must have recognized the wrong person.
But someone was coming and he had to leave quickly.
A pair of eyes that were usually cold flashed with reluctance when they looked at Su Liyue, and the next moment, the small body flashed and left the small dark room.
When the night watch nanny came over to check, she didn't find anything unusual. She only heard Su Liyue crying from the small dark room.
As for what Su Liyue said, the nanny didn't hear clearly.
"spit--"
The nanny spat at the iron gate, "Don't you see who you are? You don't even take the Queen Mother seriously. You deserve it."
As the nanny said this, she lit the lamp and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the nanny stepped on something, her foot slipped, her body flew up, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouch——" the nanny cried out in pain.
The nanny's cry not only attracted other people, but also woke up the empress dowager who had finally gotten a good night's sleep.
This time, the nanny is in big trouble and will inevitably be punished.
In the dark, Ye Yucheng watched the nanny being punished, and left the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace with his merits and fame concealed.
However, Ye Yucheng was discovered just after he walked out of Yongshou Palace.
"Who's there?"
