Chapter 179: Desperate Situation (Update 1)
Bang!
The prison door slammed shut, shocking Ye Heng so much that he shuddered.
He raised his head stiffly, looked around at the dark and damp cell, smelled the moldy, sweet and disgusting smell in the air, and finally realized what was happening.
——He was a fourth-rank imperial official, but he was imprisoned like this! ?
Until this moment, he still felt like he was dreaming.
He had clearly gone to the Han family to tell Han Yao to behave himself and not talk nonsense, but...how did it turn out like this! ?
Ye Heng leaned against the cold wall and slowly squatted down, his mind in a mess.
This time it was Su Wei who personally ordered him to be locked up, so it would definitely not be easy for him to get out.
At the very least, he can't leave here until the matter is investigated thoroughly.
But... he didn't poison Han Yao at all!
Could it be that Ye Chutang deliberately framed him? But she was also invited at short notice, and Han Yao had already fainted at the time, so the timing didn't make sense.
Ye Heng frowned. He had originally just asked someone to get some drugs to make Han Yao sleep for a few days and keep him from causing any trouble. How could it have turned into poison?
wrong!
Ye Heng suddenly understood something and opened his eyes wide in horror!
The only one who could replace the drug with poison without anyone noticing is——
The name lingered in Ye Heng's mind, making his whole body numb and his limbs cold.
An indescribable despair gradually welled up in my heart.
Could it be that he is the same as Han Tong...
…
When Murong Ye returned home, it was already dark.
From a distance, he saw a familiar figure and was stunned.
Ye Shixian also noticed his arrival and hurried forward.
"Mr. Murong!"
Murong Ye saw that her eyes were red, as if she had been crying, and he felt distressed: "Xian'er, why are you here? Have you been waiting here for a long time?"
Ye Shixian had been waiting for him for a long time and was already exhausted. When she heard him ask this, tears instantly fell.
It really makes me feel sorry for him.
Murong Ye quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't cry yet, just tell me if you have any troubles!"
Obviously, he didn't know that Ye Heng was in trouble.
Ye Shixian hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, raised her sparkling eyes, and her voice was full of grievance and begging: "Master Murong, please save my father!"
Murong Ye had never seen her looking so pitiful before, and he sensed something was wrong.
"What happened? I've been out all day, I don't know--"
Ye Shixian bit her red lips and choked up, "Yes, it was Lord Su from the Dali Temple. He took Dad away!"
Murong Ye was confused: "What?"
Ye Shixian had no choice but to tell the story again, and Murong Ye’s brows furrowed more and more.
"My father would never do those things. There must be some misunderstanding here! Master Murong, I really have no other choice now. If something really happens to my father, I really don't know what to do..."
As Ye Shixian spoke, she lowered her head and began to cry again.
Murong Ye guessed her intention, but found it quite tricky.
"I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle..."
Su Wei would not arrest someone without any reason. It would be inappropriate to act rashly at this time.
Especially since there is a palace banquet tomorrow...
Seeing that Murong Ye was slow to express his opinion, Ye Shixian's heart gradually sank.
Murong Ye had been so attentive to her in the past, but now that things were really going wrong, he became hesitant!
Ye Shixian smiled bitterly: "I know this matter makes Mr. Murong embarrassed, so... forget it! I came here today, which is really presumptuous, I hope Mr. Murong will forgive me."
As she spoke, she bowed and said goodbye.
Murong Ye still couldn't bear to see her like this, so he quickly said, "Wait!"
