"Stupid woman!"

In Ye Kang's room, the smiling staff looked at the back of Liu Ruyi leaving, and a cold look flashed in their eyes.

He cursed secretly in his heart, the prime minister is good everywhere, but the prime minister's wife doesn't know how to work together with her husband, and instead focuses on the royal family.

The tense atmosphere in the back house made Liu Ruyi feel faintly uneasy.She often visited Ye Chu, and Ye Chu also learned a lot of outside news by virtue of Liu Ruyi being able to move around freely in the back house.

Ye Kang publicized the fact that she contracted the cold outside, which made Ye Chu speculate.

Logically speaking, Ye Kang had just been ruined by her for a big matter, and he would not let it go, but now he showed concern and asked the doctor to keep coming in and out of the prime minister's house...

Zhi Qing, who came in to serve tea and pour water, heard what Liu Ruyi said, and asked puzzledly: "But my mother is very good, she didn't catch the cold at all, and she didn't see a doctor who came in and out of the Prime Minister's mansion recently. Empress's diagnosis..."

The news about Ye Chu's contracting the wind and cold outside spread well. The doctors who came to Ye's house were many famous doctors with noble character and respected by everyone. It is absolutely impossible for these people to be bought by Ye Kang to spread rumors outside.

Liu Ruyi sighed when she heard the words, shook her head and said: "My mother was also suspicious about this matter, so I went to the study to ask your father. But your father looked in a hurry, and did not say a few words, excused that he was busy with business and did not intend to explain. "

Having said that, Liu Ruyi paused, and her voice suddenly dropped.

"The staff in the house are also secretive and refuse to speak out."

Staff?

Ye Chu's mind flashed a few middle-aged men who were not young, with cunning eyes.These Confucian scholars and literati are full of knowledge and the way of a gentleman, but they always do things by unscrupulous means.

Ye Chu was quite wary of them before, but after learning about Ye Kang's true face, he hated them even more.

These staff members gathered together, probably planning something.

Ye Chu couldn't explain clearly, so he could only tactfully beg Liu Ruyi to clarify the rumor while chatting with Liu Ruyi.

But who knows, just when Liu Ruyi was about to leave Ye's house under the pretext of Shangxiang, she was stopped by Ye Kang's staff.

"Ma'am, the capital city has been disturbed by miscellaneous matters recently. The empress must be taken care of in real time in the back house. Don't leave the house easily at this time!"

The staff spoke with a half-smile, and stood in the way of Liu Ruyi.His attitude seemed respectful, but it was actually extremely presumptuous.

The maid who was serving beside Liu Ruyi frowned when she saw this, intending to step forward and scold him for being rude.

But Liu Ruyi has a gentle personality and is used to it, and she doesn't usually conflict with others.Because of Ye Kang's attitude, she felt uneasy, and she became more and more frustrated in doing things, so she reached out and stopped the big maid.

She said: "If this is the intention of Xiangye, then I must obey, and then I will go back and take good care of the empress."

After saying this, Liu Ruyi led the aggrieved maid back to the back house.

The news couldn't get out, and Wen Zheng, who was listening to the rumors outside, became more and more impatient.

If he is concerned, he will be in chaos. If someone else is in danger, the always cautious Wen Zheng will naturally give up visiting Ye's house because he senses possible doubts in it.

However, Ye Chu was the person on his heart. Wen Zheng saw that some of the doctors who came in and out of Ye's house were of noble character, so he specially sent someone to inquire.

Ye Kang is also cruel-hearted, testing human life like a weed.

The servant girl who was infected with the wind and cold was ordered by him to soak in the water for three hours in the cold winter, so how could he not get the wind and cold into his body, how could he not be lingering on the sick bed and dying?

The servant girl was wearing clothes embroidered with phoenix robes. When the doctor who came to see the doctor saw the luxurious clothes, he naturally thought that the person lying on the bed was the queen of the dynasty, and he was even more afraid to offend.

Some people offered to use the silk thread to diagnose the pulse, and they didn't even dare to feel the pulse of the "Queen"'s wrist through the curtain.

Ye Kang's plan was meticulous, and Wen Zheng sent someone to inquire, only to find out that the queen was indeed seriously ill.

After so many tossings, most of the time that was finally freed has been used up, and the sky is gradually getting dark.

Wen Zheng became more and more worried, and finally decided to go to the Ye family's dragon pool and tiger den again.

Ye Kang was ambitious, so it was the best way to go to Ye's house to visit Ye Kang with great fanfare.Exposing himself in front of everyone, Ye Kang can only abide by the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, and dare not reveal his conspiracy.

But because he had encountered an assassin before, all officials in the court are not suggesting that the emperor leave the palace again to prevent accidents.If Wen Zheng insists on traveling, I am afraid that Yu Shi's impeachment will fill his desk.

Besides, at this moment, he has come to the market where the Ye family is located, and the tall courtyard wall of the prime minister's mansion is close in front of him, Wen Zheng is not willing to delay any longer.

During this period of time, the Ye family seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and the servants who came and went did not dare to show their atmosphere, for fear of offending the master who was in a bad mood.

Wen Zheng led a few secret guards over the wall and knocked out the servants of the Ye family in the small garden, changed into the coarse clothes worn by the servants, scattered and groped in the direction of the back house.

This is the safest way to sneak in. Because of his handsome appearance and slender figure, Wen Zheng didn't fit in with the coarse clothes on his body, so he even wiped a handful of dust on his face.

Under Wen Zheng's painstaking disguise, the way he walks with his head bowed is very similar to the Ye family's servants who serve their master tremblingly, and he actually deceived the guards guarding the moon arch in the back house.

He was pretending to be a firewood boy, Ye Chu's yard has its own small kitchen, and there is a shortage of firewood right now, so the boy is here to deliver firewood.

The servant girl led Wen Zheng to the small kitchen, looking back at him from time to time on the way, and asked with a smile: "Which courtyard does my brother serve, why does he look a bit unfamiliar?"

Wen Zheng lowered his voice, and answered randomly with a hoarse voice.

When he was walking, he happened to pass by the window of the main room, and when he looked up from the corner of his eyes, he saw Ye Chu holding a goose feather fan and looking at the scroll in his hand indifferently.

How could this look terminally ill?

Almost instantly, Wen Zheng realized that he had been tricked by Ye Kang.

No one except Ye Kang could spread the rumors so truthfully, and the people in power in the Ye family had to cooperate to set the trap seamlessly.

Although his heart tightened, after Wen Zheng glanced at Ye Chu, he quickly looked away, and his steps were a little faster.

He put down the firewood, casually ignored the maid's request for her name, and planned to leave Ye's house as soon as possible.

But at this moment, a guard shouted loudly from a distance, saying that a thief had sneaked in and asked the brothers who were patrolling the back house to help.

It was the hidden guard who sneaked into Ye's house with him and exposed his tracks... Wen Zheng sighed in his heart, turned around and rushed over in the direction he had come and gone quickly.
