Cang Boyi was in no mood to listen to Daotian's nonsense, so he sent people to investigate, but they only found out that the matter was related to Fu Yurou.
Therefore, Cang Boyi sent someone to hand over the evidence of Fu family's crimes to the emperor. Now the Fu family has been ransacked and all the people have been thrown into jail, and Fu Yurou was not spared.
Cang Boyi sent people to the prison to interrogate Fu Yurou, but she refused to admit to harming Ye Xingchen. Even when she was tortured and all ten of her fingernails were pulled out, she did not reveal a word, so the clue was lost.
Unexpectedly, it was Dao Tiangan who did it. How could Cang Boyi let him off?
Suddenly, the screams of Master Daotian were heard in the huge courtyard. The screams were so heartbreaking that they made people's scalps numb, but no one sympathized with him.
Although everyone had only known Ye Xingchen for a short time, they were already impressed by her abilities and admired her carefree and sincere nature. In other words, Ajiu, Su Ruoan and others treated Ye Xingchen as the future regent princess.
Knowing that Daotian was the culprit behind all this, Su Ruoan and the others took turns whipping Daotian with their full strength, showing no mercy at all.
Cang Boyi turned around and went to Ye Xingchen's room. Seeing her sitting on the bed eating candy like an ignorant child, Cang Boyi felt even more distressed and blamed himself.
He walked over and touched Ye Xingchen's head: "I'm sorry, it's my fault that I didn't protect you well."
Ye Xingchen looked up and said, "Don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you."
When she said this, Cang Boyi felt even more distressed, but he didn't notice that Ye Xingchen didn't call him daddy this time.
"Then I'll accompany you." Cang Boyi said softly.
He didn't dare to leave Ye Xingchen for a moment. The murderer was right in the Regent's Palace, but he didn't even notice it. He was really careless.
Ye Xingchen handed over the candy: "Do you want to eat it?"
Cang Boyi shook his head helplessly: "I don't want to eat it, you eat it."
"Okay." Ye Xingchen continued to eat candy.
Cang Boyi sat beside her and stayed with her until Ye Xingchen finished eating the candy. Cang Boyi personally helped her wash up and watched her fall asleep before he felt relieved.
Su Ruoan, who was outside the door, was moved when he saw this: "I have followed the Regent for many years, and I have never seen him serve people like this. Miss Ye is the first."
Zhan Bai nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
"If I were Ye Xingchen, I would be moved to tears, but unfortunately Ye Xingchen is stupid." Feng Yunmu curled his lips.
With just one word, Su Ruoan and Zhan Bai both glared at him angrily.
Su Ruoan said angrily: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Miss Ye just doesn't recognize people temporarily, she will definitely recover."
"That's right, Miss Ye must be blessed by fate." Zhan Bai agreed.
The regent in the room naturally heard it, and his face instantly turned cold: "Feng Yunmu, don't you want your tongue anymore?"
Feng Yunmu was so scared that he trembled: "Regent, just treat it as a fart, I'm going to get out of here right now!" After saying that, he ran away.
Cang Boyi did not return to his room and stayed with Ye Xingchen until the next morning when Su Ruoan came to report.
"Lord Regent, our people said that the Crown Prince is attending the morning court today!"
Cang Boyi frowned slightly, glanced at Ye Xingchen who was still sleeping, then stood up and walked out.
"What's going on?"
The prince had been weak and sickly since childhood. He had been taking medicine all day long over the years and never attended court, so he had always been dominated by Prince Mo. When he heard that Prince Mo was suddenly going to court, Cang Boyi was naturally suspicious.
"Our people found out that the prince went to Baoen Temple two days ago, and after returning, he locked himself in his room for two days. Last night, the queen went to see the prince.
Because of the distance, our people did not hear what the prince and the queen said, but after the queen left, the prince suddenly cheered up. "Su Ruoan told what happened.
Cang Boyi raised his eyebrows: "The prince has been listless for many years, and the queen doesn't have the ability to cheer him up, otherwise the prince would have cheered up long ago. Something must have happened to cause the prince to change drastically."
But, what could it be?
"Regent, the eunuch who was in charge of cleaning the prince's bedroom today said that he found this on the prince's desk." Zhan Bai took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
Cang Boyi opened it and saw that it was the prince's notes. There was only one sentence written on it: My fate is in my own hands!
These words were so arrogant and presumptuous that they made Cang Boyi feel inexplicably familiar.
"Regent, I remember Miss Ye said this at Bao'en Temple." Ajiu reported immediately.
Cang Boyi frowned. The prince’s transformation was actually related to the stars.
"Did Xingchen have any contact with the prince in Baoen Temple?" Cang Boyi asked immediately.
Ajiu shook his head: "No, I have always been protecting Miss Ye, and she has never met the prince."
"If he didn't meet him, then it means that the prince accidentally noticed Xingchen. It can make a person who has been decadent for many years suddenly change his mood. I don't know whether it is good or bad." Cang Boyi sighed.
He held the paper in his hand, exerting a little force.
"Could it be that the Crown Prince is interested in Miss Ye and wants to snatch Miss Ye from the Regent?" Su Ruoan said subconsciously. As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the murderous look in the Regent's eyes, and he was so scared that he shut up immediately.
"Miss Ye is not an ordinary woman. After spending the past few days with her, I have discovered that she is very opinionated. She only treats our regent differently and doesn't think highly of anyone else." Ajiu said truthfully.
Cang Boyi's cold expression finally eased a little: "Xingchen's vision is always good."
The corner of Su Ruoan's mouth twitched. If it was not a bad thing, why would Miss Ye marry that bastard King Mo? Of course, he didn't dare to say this out loud unless he didn't want to live anymore.
"Regent, what should we do? We can't let the prince abduct Miss Ye away?" Ajiu looked anxious.
"She belongs to me, and no one can take her away from me! Send someone to the East Palace immediately to find out the prince's motives and find a way to find out what the queen and the prince said!" Cang Boyi's tone was solemn and left no room for doubt.
"yes."
The unconscious little boy in the room didn't know how long he had slept. When he woke up, he felt cold all over and his hands and feet were numb.
He rubbed his eyes and looked around. He was still in his grandmother's room.
It was really because he was too small, and was kicked under the table by Ajiu. The large tablecloth just covered his body, so Cang Boyi didn't notice it.
The little boy then remembered that he had followed his master to find his master’s grandmother. He glanced at Ye Xingchen who was still lying on the bed and immediately walked over.
"Mistress, mistress, please don't blame the master. Although he is greedy for money, he never thought of harming you. He did sell the little ghost, but the backlash of the little ghost is so painful that it would be worse than death. So the person who harmed you must be heartbroken and in great pain.
"Mrs. Grandma, these are the talismans you gave me before. I'm returning them to you. Please wake up soon." The little boy said, taking out a few talismans that Ye Xingchen had given him before and placing them next to Ye Xingchen's pillow.
The talismans disappeared in an instant, and specks of light penetrated between Ye Xingchen's eyebrows, and Ye Xingchen, who had been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
