The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 516 Captivity (3)

But there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and there are countless eyes staring at Nanyuan on weekdays. Today, Jiang Ruan entered the palace, which aroused everyone's suspicion. After seeing Jiang Ruan and Ye Pei talking for a long time, he came out halfway. When he went to visit the emperor, he seemed to see Mu Xirou there, which was even more puzzling.

Ye Li stood in the room, listening to the reports from his subordinates, his eyes were a little deep.Since the emperor fell ill, he wanted to be a filial son, which was of course more convenient for him to find things around the emperor, so he didn't go back to his mansion, but stayed in the palace all the time, boiling water and decocting medicine for the emperor himself.Those who don't know are really moved by his filial piety, and from time to time, people in the court will write praises of Ye Li's filial piety.Ye Li naturally didn't mind his fame, and when serving the emperor, he tried his best to be perfect.He didn't have to use any means in medicine.Even Xia Qing couldn't help his illness, so he didn't need to do it at all.

However, Ye Li frowned tightly, originally thought that as long as the emperor slept like this until he died, it would be the perfect solution.But now it seems that the emperor's illness was not at the right time, just because he has not found the imperial decree until now, the emperor wrote the imperial decree early, and his name was not in the imperial decree at all, this is what he guessed a long time ago What I heard, and later confirmed this from Eunuch Li's mouth.There is no one who knows a son like a father, but there is no one who knows a father like a son.Having been father and son with the emperor for so many years, since when did he no longer regard him as a father, but an opponent, a stumbling block, Ye Li has already forgotten.For so many years of fighting secretly, he has never gained the upper hand.

Including the emperor's secret care and protection for the crown prince, Ye Li knew everything about it, and because of this, he couldn't make a better plan.Ye Li was also very puzzled sometimes, the emperor clearly hated the crown prince, the crown prince was incompetent and immoral, why did the emperor protect him and not let him give up that position.Anyone could see that the emperor kept the crown prince, but he didn't want anyone to sit in that position for the time being. Who was he keeping the crown prince for?Ye Li always thought that among the several princes in the Dajin Dynasty, he was the only one with the most qualifications, but he also clearly felt that the emperor admired him, praised him, always encouraged him, and treated him very well, but in his heart It never even occurred to him to sit in that position.

Ye Li was puzzled, and then he was unwilling. Under the suppression of this emotion, he became extremely distorted. He eliminated the possible threats one by one in the battle in the palace, but in the end, the emperor still did not want to change him to be the crown prince. thought.He finally gave up the last trace of kindness in his heart, and drugged the emperor's food.

Since ancient times, it has not been uncommon to kill the king and father, and seize the heir.Ye Li is no longer the person who struggled with making this decision back then, he calmly thought that this is the right way, this is the best way.If you want anything in this world, just grab it and fight for it. He is always the most forbearing and excellent hunter, and he will have the last laugh.

However, Ye Peilai appeared on the way.

From an incompetent useless prince to an opponent who can stand up to him now, every time Ye Li faces Ye Pei, he can't help but feel vicious in his heart.In the beginning, Ye Pei was not even qualified to be an opponent in his heart.But now, the emperor actually intends to make him the crown prince, and Ye Pei even has the support of the Jinying Palace, how can Ye Pei feel better.If it was possible, Ye Pei would have been hacked into pieces.

Just now people under his command came to report again, Jiang Ruan and Ye Pei stayed for a long time, he had some doubts in his heart, he heard that they went to see the emperor together, Mu Xirou was also there, Ye Lili had a guess.

If there is any place in the world where the imperial edict is safest, it is undoubtedly Prince Jinying's Mansion.Perhaps the civil and military officials would say that the imperial decree from Jinying's mansion is not convincing, because it is simply a house of rebellious officials and thieves.But only Ye Li knew that the emperor had always given Xiao Shao 12 points of trust, and that trust sometimes made him feel jealous.In the past, Ye Li even thought that the emperor and Xiao Shao were related by blood, but the spies sent out later found nothing.Ye Li knew clearly that the emperor had never doubted the Jinying Palace.

Therefore, the imperial decree might really be in Prince Jinying's mansion.

As long as he wanted to be here, Ye Li could not help feeling a little restless.You must know that if you know where the imperial decree is, the next step is to snatch it back, but where is the Jinying Palace, it is easy for people to get close to it.

The spy also said: "Just now when Princess Jinying entered Nanyuan, she brought the Queen Mother's reward with her."

Ye Li's spies have always been good at this, so they will naturally not miss any details. It is not a big deal to bring the queen mother's reward to Nanyuan. Maybe Jiang Ruan wants to pick some rewards for Ye Pei.But talking about it here seems to have touched a string in Ye Li's heart. Could this be... a way to cover up?
Then Ye Li shook his head again, how could it be, even if someone really wanted someone to come to fetch the imperial edict, it shouldn't be Jiang Ruan who came alone, Xiao Shao was more or less the same.How could he come so hastily, so blatantly.

But what if this is her cover?
Xiao Shao and Ye Pei didn't have much communication at all, if Xiao Shao came, maybe it was the real proof of the holy decree of Jinying Palace.In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Jiang Ruan concealed the whereabouts of the imperial decree and resorted to dangerous tactics, planning to come to the most dangerous place and the safest place, so what?

Ye Li's eyes were heavy, and he was already lost in his own thoughts.But he didn't know that Jiang Ruan had led his thoughts all the way here.Jiang Ruan knew about his suspicious nature, so he set up the game according to the weakness of his character.Letting Jiang Ruan go, Ye Lihui would feel uneasy because of this, and if he caught Jiang Ruan, he was afraid that it would be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket, and would expose himself instead.Ye Li was so entangled, thought for a long time, and finally clenched his fist as if he had made up his mind and said: "Go, send a letter to Dan Zhen, now there is an opportunity in front of her, catch Jiang Ruan, don't expose yourself."

The subordinates took orders to leave.Only then did Ye Li let go of his hand, and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the clouds outside the palace wall, he slowly let out a sneer.So what if you can't do it easily?After all, there is still a good sword in front of him, Dan Zhen's hatred for Jiang Ruan is deep in his bones, and Qi Man has been lurking in the capital for many years, and is proficient in hiding.To kill someone with a borrowed knife, it is more appropriate to use the hands of these two people.Most importantly, they will succeed.

Never underestimate the jealousy of a woman.

……

On the carriage back home, Lianqiao and Luzhu sat on Jiang Ruan's right, and Tianzhu sat on Jiang Ruan's left.Perhaps Lianqiao and Luzhu also felt the unusual atmosphere today, although Jiang Ruan didn't say anything and after following Jiang Ruan for so long, they could still get a clue from Jiang Ruan's expression.Even Tianzhu showed a little nervous look at this moment, although Luzhu and Forsythia didn't know what was going on, they also became nervous.
