Chapter 200 Anticipation (Update 1)
However, in just half a month, the once glorious Han family was completely defeated and reduced to its current fate. Who wouldn't sigh when seeing this?
Ye Shixian's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down.
She closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s better to die!
Who knows whether Su Pei'er, who has been following Han Yao around, has ever whispered in his ear, heard things he shouldn't have heard, or seen things he shouldn't have seen?
Besides, if she hadn't committed suicide by colliding with the sword, the matter wouldn't have gotten out of hand, and her father wouldn't have been locked up!
Ye Shixian was very resentful towards Su Pei'er, so seeing her dead now made her feel very happy!
"Cousin." Ye Shixian took two steps forward, her eyes reddened, "Don't be too sad. Su Pei'er was too stubborn and acted impulsively. She didn't even care about her own body. What can others do? Now that she's dead, it can be considered-"
"What are you talking about?" Ye Chutang interrupted her, "Who died?"
Ye Shixian was stunned: "Of course, of course it's Su Pei'er, could it be that Han Yao is also——"
She looked confused, but actually she knew exactly what was going on and was just trying to find out what Ye Chutang was thinking.
Chen Yanchuan specially sent people to guard the door strictly. She couldn't go in to see clearly and confirm whether Han Yao was dead or not, so she could only try indirectly and secretly.
Ye Chutang looked at her indifferently, his dark eyes calm and motionless, as if he was watching a play that had nothing to do with him.
Ye Shixian gradually felt guilty and her voice gradually became smaller. She always felt that there was an unspeakable mockery in Ye Chutang's eyes when he looked at her.
"She's not dead." Ye Chutang finally spoke, "She just lost the baby. She needs to rest well."
"What?!"
Ye Shixian was stunned and could hardly believe it.
"But she was bleeding heavily just now—"
Ye Yunfeng, who was standing by, crossed his arms, sneered, and said sarcastically: "From what you said, my sister tried her best to save the person, but she let you down?"
"Of course not!"
Ye Shixian retorted reflexively and wanted to say something to defend herself.
However, the shock in her heart had not yet faded. When she thought about how Su Pei'er was so lucky to survive, she was so angry that she couldn't think of any words to respond.
Ye Chutang didn't pay much attention to her and turned to look at Shen Yanchuan.
"Sir, Su Pei'er just said that there seems to be something strange in the secret passage."
Ye Shixian's eyelids twitched suddenly.
Chen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh?"
Ye Chutang looked at the Han family mansion which had become a ruin.
"Perhaps, there is something in there that the prince wants."
…
Chongyuan Hall.
Xiao Chengxuan was restless. Ever since Chen Yanchuan took his men away, he had not been paying attention to the palace banquet.
An attendant stepped forward calmly and whispered in his ear.
Xiao Chengxuan was startled and accidentally broke the wine glass on the table.
Bang——!
This movement immediately attracted everyone's attention, and countless eyes were cast in their direction.
Emperor Muwu frowned slightly and said, "Chengxuan, what's wrong?"
Xiao Chengxuan said quickly: "Father, please forgive me. I was distracted for a moment and accidentally broke the wine glass."
Emperor Mu Wu narrowed his eyes.
His son was well-known for his calmness and decisiveness, but it was rare to see him like this.
As if guessing what Emperor Muwu was thinking, Xiao Chengxuan added, "After listening to what Lord Su said just now, I was also very shocked. If they really found something from the Han family, then Lord Ye Zheng..."
