As soon as Ye Chu walked to the door, he saw a group of guards standing outside the courtyard.

The sharp blades held by this group of people gleamed with light, and everyone was expressionless, looking murderous.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chu couldn't help frowning.

You must know that a scene like this is really not suitable for showing in front of yourself, not to mention that this place is the inner house of the Ye family and the residence of the female relatives. How can the charming wife and lady withstand such a fright?

Just the fact that this group of barbarian guards standing in front of them with sharp knives is already a great deterrent.

"What happened? Why did Ye Xiang lead the guards to search the back house?"

Ye Chu frowned, and Yunxiu, who was waiting at the side, immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly.

Zhi Qing stood aside, frowning tightly, glanced at the room with worried eyes, pursed her lips and did not speak.

It is more suitable for Yunxiu, who is an official in the palace, to spread the word. After all, Yunxiu and the Ye family have never been involved. It is the best to spread the word and question Ye Kang on behalf of Ye Chu, who is the queen.

The woman's clear and high-pitched voice broke the silence, and a handsome man came out behind the guards. It was Ye Kang who was wearing normal clothes and was entertaining guests at home recently.

Ye Kang stroked his beard, and fixedly glanced at Ye Chu standing on the steps, complex emotions flashed away in his eyes.

"I see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!" Following Ye Kang's first gesture of saluting, the guards surrounding the yard also saluted one after another.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still naked with swords, guns, swords and halberds, no one would have noticed that this group of people posed a great threat to Ye Chu.

Ye Chu took a deep breath. Since Ye Kang still cared about the rules of face, she had to sing the whole scene.

"Ye Xiang, what is the meaning of this? Bengong suddenly felt unwell and left the banquet. Just about to take a good rest, you asked a group of people to surround the yard. Could it be that you even searched Bengong's residence?"

Considering the rumors of hiding in the house, Ye Chu's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and he simply took the strongest attitude to prevent Ye Kang and others from entering the courtyard.

This time Wen Zheng came out without telling others, Ye Kang has always harbored ill intentions towards Wen Zheng... If he was under the watchful eyes of the court, Ye Kang would not do anything inappropriate towards the titular master of this dynasty.

But now Ye Chu has a son in his belly, if Wen Zheng is killed here without anyone noticing.Ye Kang handled the beginning and end cleanly enough, so who knows that he killed the person?

When the emperor had an accident, Ye Kang, as the head of the civil servants, proposed to everyone that the child in Ye Chu's womb be the next generation heir to the throne.

With his many followers in the court, the crisis situation at that time, and Ye Chu's status as queen, this proposal must be unimpeded.

Even Qin Qi has no ability to stop this matter from becoming a foregone conclusion.

Before he knew it, the country changed hands, and Ye Kang also achieved his goal.

Thinking of this, Ye Chu couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to think deeply.

Ye Kang who was respectfully saluting her in front of him seemed to be a ferocious beast that chooses people to eat, which made Ye Chu feel a little more disgusted.

Seeing that Ye Kang began to use a long speech to explain the reasons for his next offense, Ye Chu simply interrupted him and said, "Doesn't Ye Xiang understand what I say? I'm exhausted. What can I do next?" Say it again!"

Her attitude was extremely firm. Although Yunxiu, a female official in the palace, didn't understand why Ye Chu was so resistant to Ye Kang's search for the murderer, she still understood her master's meaning from her expression, and yelled loudly at the side.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Ye Kang gritted his teeth and let out an inaudible hum from his nasal cavity!

"What the empress said is that the minister is really lacking in consideration... But there are thieves in this back house. He has a fierce temperament. If he poses a threat to the empress..."

Ye Kang spoke slowly, but seeing Ye Chu's resolute expression, he still shook his head and led the guards back out.

Ye Chu was relieved when he saw Ye Kang turn around and lead the bodyguards out of sight, and turned his head to see Wen Zhengzheng who was sitting in the room looking up, the expression on his face was quite intriguing.

"Ye Xiang came really fast, and the attitude of insisting on the search just now is also surprisingly tough." Wen Zheng couldn't help but let out a sneer, looked down at the wound on his body, and frowned fiercely.

Ye Chu didn't speak, but called a court lady beside him.She sent people out on errands on the pretext that she wanted to eat desserts from the Ye family's big kitchen.

Not long after, the court lady came back with snacks, and said: "Master, Xiangye's people have surrounded the entire back house. When the servants went to the kitchen to serve desserts, they went through two inspections."

Such vigilance showed that Ye Kang still hadn't given up.

There was a moment of silence in the room, Ye Chu waved his hands to get the irrelevant people to leave, and he sat on the edge of the table and looked at Wen Zheng, who lowered his head and put on the medicine, showing a wry smile.

"You came to Ye's house before leaving the palace, did you really not tell anyone you can trust?"

Ye Chu knew that Wen Zheng did whatever he wanted, and if he really sneaked out of the palace without knowing the people around him, even without a hidden guard, it would not be impossible.

But now that Ye Kang is under heavy siege, even if she is a queen, the maids sent to the kitchen to serve desserts will have to be inspected, let alone pass the news to the cronies in the palace who have heard about it.

If there is no external force to break the situation, then Wen Zheng is now trapped in the Ye family.

When Ye Chu was worried about this matter, he slowly threw away the small medicine bottle in Wen Zheng's hand, turned over and lay down on the bed where Ye Chu slept last night.

He said nonchalantly: "What are you in a hurry for? Since we are trapped, let's just stay here and find a way slowly." While talking, he turned over, hugged the thick bedding on the bed and closed Eyes rest.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chu laughed angrily, the worries in his heart dissipated immediately, and he also felt a little bit annoyed by Wen Zheng's frivolous behavior.

This is the quilt she was still sleeping on last night!

Zhi Qing, who came to the room to serve tea lightly, was also taken aback when she saw Wen Zheng's actions, and then stepped forward to pour tea for Ye Chu with a sullen smile.

"Master, don't worry. They say that there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. If Master Xiang still wants to come and search, at worst, let's stop it again!"

After saying this, Zhi Qing saw Ye Chu standing up and walking back and forth to the side of the bed, she bowed her knees and saluted with an ambiguous smile on her face.

She quickly walked out of the house, and even pretended to be considerate and forgot to close the door for the two of them.
