Chapter 626 Death (Part 1)
She did not refuse directly, nor did she say that she could not do it, but just asked Xiao Jiayi why she thought she would definitely take action.
Xiao Jiayi's heart finally settled down.
"You will definitely do this, because... if you knew what he had done, you would definitely want to kill him! Or, if you take his life to claim credit, it would also be a great achievement!"
There was hatred in Xiao Jiayi's voice.
"Ye Chutang, I know you hate me, and I never liked you either! But now I have no choice. No one can help me except you."
It was undoubtedly a huge shame for Xiao Jiayi to say such self-contradictory words.
But she had run out of options.
She hated Ye Chutang, but she needed Ye Chutang more!
"As long as you can promise to help me, I will agree to any request you make!" Xiao Jiayi bit her lips until they bled. "Even if you want my life, I won't hesitate for a second!"
Ye Chutang had a calm expression.
"Your brother is your brother, and you are you. I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and I don't mess around. Let's not talk about the grudges between you and me for now, but... I'm a little surprised that you hate him so much?"
Xiao Jiayi smiled miserably.
"The relationship between husband and wife is over. He was ruthless to me, so don't blame me for this!"
Ye Chutang had indeed heard a lot of gossip about the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion in the past two days. The eldest princess, the wife of the Marquis, who was once so glorious, was indeed not having a good life now.
The more a woman loves a man, the more she can hate him.
It would be strange if she could swallow this.
"I can help you." Ye Chutang said, "But you have to think it through. Once Xie Anjun gets into trouble, the entire Xie family will be implicated, including your son. As far as I know, Xie Anjun committed... a capital crime."
Xiao Jiayi suddenly opened her eyes wide, her face full of shock, "You know everything!?"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Some fur."
What she said was true, but to Xiao Jiayi, it sounded like she was being modest.
——Since Ye Chutang returned to Beijing, too many incredible things have happened.
For example, all those who had provoked her had their comeuppance; and for another example, she could sneak into the heavily guarded Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery quietly, sit here and talk without being noticed by anyone.
When Xiao Jiayi gave the white jade earring away, she thought that Ye Chutang must have a way to contact her, but she did not expect that Ye Chutang had such a ability!
The woman in front of her was calm and elegant, but Xiao Jiayi felt she was unfathomable!
So Xiao Jiayi didn't plan to hide anything.
She wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I can guarantee with my life that every word you say next is true."
Ye Chutang nodded.
"Please go ahead."
…
The night breeze is blowing.
It was still dark when Ye Chutang returned to the Ye Mansion.
Xiaowu was sleeping soundly in bed.
Ye Chutang changed his clothes and lay down beside her quietly.
But she didn't fall asleep, but kept sorting out the words Xiao Jiayi had said before in her mind.
Although he had guessed it before, Ye Chutang was still shocked when he actually heard it.
Xie Anjun... is so brave!
There is also Fan Chengzhuo, who is cunning and extremely treacherous.
Xiao Chengxuan ended up like this, and he can be said to have made "great contributions".
There must be someone behind him, but even Xiao Jiayi couldn't guess who that person was.
In fact, a name vaguely emerged in Ye Chutang's mind, but she couldn't figure out why Fan Chengzhuo chose to work for that person?
No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem to be a good choice...
Ye Chutang closed his eyes, and the past became clearer and clearer.
It's so complicated, all we have to do is find the source!
Time passes slowly, the night fades away, and a new day arrives.
Ye Chutang stood up, washed up briefly, and changed into a plain brocade dress embroidered with crabapples.
The weather is getting warmer, and her health has recovered well, so she no longer needs to wear a cloak when going out.
I have to go to the palace today to see Emperor Mu Wu for a follow-up consultation.
…
Qiyuan Hall.
Ye Chutang took out the pulse scanner and felt the pulse of Emperor Mu Wu, frowning slightly.
After a moment, she withdrew her hand.
"Your Majesty's health had improved a lot recently, but he must have gotten angry again in the past few days, causing qi stagnation and blood stasis, which is harmful to his heart and lungs."
Emperor Mu Wu seemed to have anticipated this result and just shook his head.
"I'm old... I have to accept my age!"
Ye Chutang said no more.
Everyone knows that Emperor Mu Wu’s recurring illness is not due to his age, but because of the many troubles he has encountered recently.
After all, Xiao Chengxuan was his biological son and the heir he once valued the most. Emperor Mu Wu would not feel good to see him end up like this.
There is also Xiao Jiayi.
It is impossible for him not to know about Xiao Jiayi's current embarrassing situation in the Xie family, but as the emperor, there are some things that must be done and some crimes that must be punished.
"I'll add two more herbs to your prescription. Please try it for three days."
Ye Chutang said this and walked aside to write a prescription.
Emperor Mu Wu nodded and coughed softly a few times.
Suddenly, a palace maid came hurriedly to report outside the hall.
"His Majesty!"
Eunuch Li frowned and stepped forward to stop the man, scolding him in a low voice, "Why are you so flustered? His Majesty is resting, don't disturb him!"
The palace maid was sweating profusely and looked extremely nervous. She begged,
"Eunuch Li, I really have something important to report to His Majesty!"
Eunuch Li looked at him and recognized him.
"You are... a servant in Yaohua Palace?"
The palace servant nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yes!"
Yaohua Palace used to be Jiang Qingmei's bedroom. Later, she was banished to the cold palace and the place became vacant.
But not long after, Xiao Lanxi was locked up there again.
This is……
"But there was a quarrel over there between Yu and the princess?"
The palace maid looked anxious and hesitated to speak.
Emperor Mu Wu's voice came from inside, "Let him in."
Eunuch Li responded immediately and turned sideways, "Go in."
The palace maid hurriedly walked into the Qiyuan Hall and fell to her knees with a thump, her voice trembling.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yuhe died suddenly last night!"
Ye Chutang paused, and a drop of ink fell, spreading a dark spot on the paper.
