After returning home, Su Qiao summoned Mu Rong.
"Mu Rong, how are you doing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty recently? Are you still in contact with the palace?"
"Except for the letter Eastern Jin Crown Prince secretly sent last time, there has been no other contact."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, my subordinates have been sending people to keep an eye on it. If anything unusual is discovered, they will report it to the Prince as soon as possible."
Mu Rong I am so busy these days.
Normally, she would never leave the prince's side.
Su Qiao thought for a while and ordered, "Send a team of top-notch secret guards to protect Ye Lihan day and night."
Although they haven't reached a contract yet, the result will not be wrong.
Li Sang father and daughter will definitely agree to Eastern Jin Crown Prince's transaction.
In addition, she has been frequently interacting with Ye Lihan recently, so Li Sang will definitely regard him as a thorn in his side.
"Yes."
Regarding the matter between the prince and Prince Ye, Mu Rong fully agrees with it.
Although it was Prince from another country, and it was a Prince that had obviously been abandoned, it was precisely because he had nothing to rely on in the Huangming Kingdom that they felt more at ease.
On the other side, Ye Lihan returned to the inner room and sat beside the couch for a long time, slowly regaining his composure.
"Master, the prince is obviously interested in you..."
Xiao Yuzi originally agreed with the matter between the two of them, but now, he is not sure.
They are going back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Why is the master with the prince?
Ye Lihan habitually touched the black jade in his hand. "She is interested in me. I, Prince, am going to respond to her?"
Xiao Yuzi rolled his eyes quietly.
When did the master learn to be duplicitous?
"Master, you are willing to spend three thousand taels of white money to buy her a jade crown just to make her smile. Don't tell me that you are not tempted."
Ye Lihan: "..."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."
Xiao Yuzi curled his lips. "Master, every time you say you can't beat me, that's it."
Ye Lihan raised his head and glanced at him. "Who am I?"
"I'm so angry!" Xiao Yuzi didn't dare to say anything.
"Master, the prince has spoken so clearly just now, you can't just pretend that you don't understand, can you?"
"Master, why don't we wait until we return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to take Consort Yun out? It would be better to settle directly in Huangming. Women here have a high status and are not so particular. No one will talk about Consort Yun."
Anyway, he and his master are used to the Huangming Kingdom's life.
Ye Lihan's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy. "Stop talking."
"Master?"
What's wrong? Did he just say the wrong thing?
Ye Lihan lowered his eyes. "Aunt... it's been eight years since I left."
"What?"
Xiao Yuzi was stunned.
"How is this possible? Didn't you always say that you would go back to Dongjin to pick her up?"
How could he have gone eight years ago?
Ye Lihan squeezed the jade in his hand tightly. "I want to go back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to pick her up, but what I pick up is her... bones."
Xiao Yuzi finally accepted that the master's biological aunt had passed away long ago.
"Then... then Consort Yun... how did she die?"
Ye Lihan said expressionlessly, "Sickness caused by overwork and chronic poisoning."
Sick from overwork?
How could Empress in the palace become ill from overwork?
Only if you stay in a place like Cold Palace for a long time will you...
Chronic poisoning...
"It must be Empress and Crown Prince. They were the ones who poisoned me."
The mother and son Empress and Crown Prince are really hateful.
Empress killed his master's Empress Dowager, also known as Former Empress, and falsely accused her of having an affair with a guard. He also tricked the emperor into hating his ten-year-old master, so that he was the legitimate son of the middle palace, but was sent to Huang Ming to be Hostage Prince.
