Chapter 423: Dare not openly condemn them
And it’s not worth it to die like that!
"Our deal was just to help her escape capture. There was nothing else going on between us. All I know is that she was a woman kidnapped by a bully, a poor person who was imprisoned because of his lust." Ye Qianning didn't explain much.
Even if I tell them, they may not understand, and subconsciously they are more likely to be blindly loyal.
She doesn't like the feeling of having her life controlled by others.
Zhan Yi didn't know how to answer for a moment. The emperor was lustful, and everyone in the court knew it.
Madam Zhan was silent for a while. As a woman, she could understand the situation very well. When the emperor was on tour, it was said that he robbed several beauties from the people along the way. Not long after entering the palace, some died of illness.
"As for fault, it's not her fault, it's the fault of the person who kidnapped her. If you say he is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, how can he deny himself of the matter if he secretly kept a woman from Xiyan?" Ye Qianning had an attitude of making the matter public if he was discovered.
The emperor imprisoned the royal family of Xiyan for more than ten years. If the people of Xiyan knew about it, the matter would ferment and war would be inevitable.
Of course, the people of Beili knew who to blame, and it was the almighty emperor.
Even if Emperor Beili found out, he would not dare to convict them openly.
"Fatty, don't act recklessly." Madam Zhan said in shock.
"I know, but I just considered the consequences. Grandma, don't refuse the favor of the Xiyan royal family. It will be beneficial to us in the future."
"It will take the emperor several days to search, she can't stay in the general's mansion." Madam Zhan was worried.
"General Zuo has searched the place, and no one should come to search again. Just hide for two days. By then, where she wants to go will have nothing to do with us." Ye Qianning said.
Zhan Yi sighed deeply: "If we drive her out now, she might give away the General's Mansion if she is caught. But girl, this is only this time. That woman is a hot potato."
"As soon as the troops searching house to house withdraw, I will let her go immediately."
Prince Xiyan is in Kyoto, so she doesn't have to worry about having nowhere to go.
"Okay." Zhan Yi nodded.
"I have been watching her in person for the past two days." Madam Zhan was worried that the woman from Xiyan had ill intentions, after all, this was the general's mansion.
If she gets into any trouble, the General's Mansion will be held responsible.
"Let her live with my aunt and no one will find out." Ye Qianning just looked at the woman's makeup. She was wearing heavy makeup and it was very different from when they first met.
Even if you are standing in front of an acquaintance, you have to think about it before you can recognize them.
"Then I'll go with Huaihua and the others." Madam Zhan was not at all reassured.
Ye Qianning couldn't resist and nodded: "I asked Yingge to keep an eye on her all the time. Yingyuan is in the yard, call her if you need anything."
"Okay, they have good skills, and it's reassuring to watch them."
"It's almost dawn, Yingyuan, take grandma to rest."
Ying Yuan's figure landed at the door: "Behead Madam."
"Fatty, you should take some more rest. Grandma won't be with you for the next two days." Madam Zhan touched her head.
"Grandma, it's okay, you don't have to be so nervous." Ye Qianning raised his hand and pulled down the big hand above his head and held it tightly.
Madam Zhan felt the warmth and fleshiness of her palm, and as she looked at the little girl, the tension in her heart was indeed relieved a lot.
For this little girl, she felt it was worth it even if she risked her life.
Ying Yuan took Madam Zhan away.
"Little girl, you should go back and have a rest. Grandpa will take a nap in the living room." Zhan Yi also became more open-minded.
"Grandpa, please go to the guest room and sleep."
"No need, it's almost dawn, and you've been tossing and turning all night, so go back."
