In the sparsely populated forest of the Ye family, Wen Zheng's footsteps became faster and faster.

But even though he made a quick decision after hearing the news, the Ye family has long been a net under Ye Kang's instructions, and if there is any abnormality, it can be triggered immediately.

Because the place where the secret guard was found was close to the courtyard where Ye Chu lived, Ye Chu who was reading a book couldn't help frowning when he heard the sound of beating and killing outside, just in time to see the maid who had just received Wen Zheng come to report.

"Ma'am, just now the firewood delivery boy in the house carried a basket of firewood to the small kitchen, but that person looked a bit unfamiliar, and just now when there was noise outside, he suddenly ran away."

The servant girl recalled Wen Zheng's hurried appearance when she left, and timidly added: "I feel that something is wrong, so I came to ask my mother for instructions."

In the past few days, the prime minister has given orders to his servants in the mansion, telling them to always be wary of strangers entering and leaving the prime minister's mansion, saying that they are worried about the safety of the empress and the child in her womb.The servant girl is the son of the Ye family, and she is even more attentive in her work.

Ye Chu recalled for a moment that someone passed by the window just now, and that look was somewhat familiar.It's just that she was reading a book at the time and didn't notice the man's appearance, she just thought it was an ordinary servant who came to deliver firewood.

Thinking of this, Ye Chu thought of the rumors released by Ye Kang earlier, and suddenly felt a jump in his heart.

This trap must have something to do with Wen Zheng. If Wen Zheng came to visit with the heart, but did not come here with great fanfare as the emperor, then Ye Kang might have another chance to start.

With a guess in Ye Chu's mind, he couldn't sit still any longer.She simply led her two confidants to the front yard of Ye's house, intending to negotiate with Ye Kang.

The guards guarding the back house of the Ye family saw Ye Chu's tough attitude and wanted to find his master Ye Kang, so they dared not stop him, so they sent a team of guards to escort Ye Chu to find someone.

This is called an escort, but it is actually a surveillance.

Ye Chu felt the needle-like gaze on his back, and felt a chill in his heart.

Ye Kang was really greedy for power, because of the child in her womb, her methods of doing things became more and more radical.

How difficult it is to restore the former dynasty and take power!

Ye Kang has been in ambush in the court for many years, and he does not know how many conspiracies and tricks he has accumulated in his heart.

Ye Chu searched all over the study and the main hall of the Ye family, but he did not see Ye Kang.

Just when she was upset, she suddenly saw the housekeeper sneaking down the corridor with his head down, so she stepped forward and stopped the housekeeper.

The latter was taken aback, but when he heard Ye Chu's question, he still answered honestly.

Ye Chu found out that Ye Kang and his staff discussed with the door behind closed doors for a while, and they left the mansion very low-key with a few loyal servants.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, but now Ye Kang is nowhere to be seen.

Ye Chu was walking in the front yard of Ye's house. She looked at the gate from a distance, and when she was about to walk over, she was stopped by a guard who noticed something unusual.

"Empress, the Prime Minister has given you an order. You have a high status, so you must not leave the mansion rashly? If you encounter bad people outside, no one will be able to bear the responsibility for the crime!"

While the guard was speaking, the four colleagues standing next to him surrounded him in unison, with their right hands already holding the saber around their waists.

Ye Chu is used to their attitude, these people only obey Ye Kang.In their eyes, royal majesty is useless.

"Forget it, then I will wait for the Prime Minister to come back and ask him to explain to me personally!"

Ye Chu flicked his sleeves, turned around pretending to be annoyed and retreated.

The leading guard let out a sneer indifferently, and replied lightly: "The queen's order will be passed on to the prime minister, and the prime minister will decide."

Yun Xiuhe, who was following Ye Chu, had never seen someone dare to be so rude to the current empress, and immediately said angrily: "You are so presumptuous, even if you are the prime minister, you dare not do this in front of the empress!"

The man stopped talking, but his eyes stared fiercely at Ye Chu like a falcon.

Almost within the time of a stick of incense, the huge prime minister's mansion turned into a cage, trapping Ye Chu and Wen Zheng inside.It's just that one was in the light and the other was in the dark. Wen Zheng was still trying his best to avoid the arrest of the Ye family's guards, and unknowingly leaned towards the direction of Qingshuixi.

The secret guard who exposed his identity was outnumbered in the fight with the guards of the Ye family. He tried his best to delay the time and ran around in the prime minister's mansion, causing a commotion.

After all, the greater the commotion, the more Wen Zheng can fish in troubled waters and escape from the chaos.

When he was wounded and bled so much that he was no longer able to fight, the hidden guard lowered his head and bit his collar.The poison sewn on the collar sealed his throat with blood, turning his face purple within a few breaths, and he stopped breathing.

This method shocked the guards of the Ye family who came to investigate. They were trained by Ye Kang, and they are usually people who are used to seeing blood.But the dark guard's death was so heroic, and his attitude was so calm, while they were puzzled, they couldn't help feeling admiration.

"I don't know who sent the spy, but it was a dead man!"

Some of the guards stepped forward to search, and then went to report to Ye Kang.

When Ye Chu returned to the small courtyard where he lived, he also saw many people turning their backs on their backs.

The maids and servants serving in the back house had never seen such fierce shouting and killing, and they were all trembling with fear.

As soon as Ye Chu came back, the servants of the Ye family who were serving in the yard rushed up and said happily: "Fortunately, there is no accident, otherwise the servants and others will die, and please go to the house quickly. out!"

Seeing the concern in the eyes of the servants of the Ye family, Ye Chu pursed his lips, and after a moment of deliberation, he asked, "Nurse Zhou, you also watched me grow up, and the current situation in the mansion makes people panic... But I Last night I dreamed of the Buddha, saying that I must go to the temple to burn three sticks of incense before the sun sets today, otherwise the fetus in the womb will not be safe."

Hearing this, the woman called Nanny Zhou suddenly looked worried.

She muttered to herself: "The empress is pregnant with a dragon fetus, so she is naturally different from ordinary children. It is also right for the Buddha to entrust her to take care of one or two in her dream. But the Prime Minister has ordered that the empress is not allowed to go out."

Nanny Zhou used to serve by Ye Chu's side, when Ye Chu was still a little girl carved in pink and jade.Her daughter died early, and after being transferred to the inner courtyard, she took care of Ye Chu as her own child.

Ye Chu is the empress of the dynasty, even if it is a groundless dream, she can easily win the trust of her servants.

Nanny Zhou believed it, and couldn't help worrying about Ye Chu's trap.

"Can't someone else burn these three sticks of incense?"

Zhi Qing, who was waiting by the side, understood and understood what her master meant, and immediately chimed in and said: "How can it be the same, only those that are burnt by hand can be effective!"
