The next day, when it was not bright, Ye Jiayao was woken up by a knock at the door. The room was still dark. Qiao Xi, sleeping in the outer room, lit a candle to open the door.

Xia Chunyu came in with a cold and humid air.

Ye Jiayao put on her coat and was too late to ask anything. She quickly told Qiao Xi: ” Go and prepare hot water and let Xiangtao also stand up and serve.”

Qiao Xi immediately went to the office. Ye Jiayao opened the wardrobe, took clean cotton-padded clothes for him, and went to the clean room to fetch cotton handkerchief.

Xia Chunyu took off his wet clothes by the brazier, took the cotton handkerchief and wiped him casually, picked up the clean and soft cotton clothes and put them on.

Hot water was soon brought in and Xia Chunyu washed his face. That was done.

Ye Jiayao had been handing things next to him, observing his look. His face still stained with frost and snow, making his face look pale and his dark eyes deep into the night sea. Although he had tried his best to converge, he could still be seen the cold snap inside.

Xiangtao held up hot tea, but Xia Chunyu didn’t pick it up. He went straight into bed and told Ye Jiayao, ” I haven’t slept for two days and two nights. I’ll sleep for half an hour first, wake me up later and I’ll go to work.”

She would like to ask him very much what the situation was. But at this moment, Ye Jiayao chose to be silent. She could see that he was really tired.

Ye Jiayao motioned Qiao Xi and Xiangtao to rest. When she looked back, the people on the bed had already issued a slight nasal snoring. Ye Jiayao gave a wry smile and moved the sandglass to the top of the head of a bed, snuggled up to him and looked at the sandglass with her eyes open. There was only half an hour’s rest time.

She did not dare to sleep, fearing that she might oversleep and delay his business. And there were many weeds that were breeding and spreading in her mind, disorderly.

At this time, it was the night before dawn, because it was rainy night, the ray of dawn that should have penetrated through the window edge was late, dark and gloomy. And the depressed person’s chest was suffocated.

She thought it had been a long time, but when she looked at the fine sand in the sandglass, it didn’t seem to change much.

Ye Jiayao sighed silently and closed her eyes to continue thinking.

The scheduled time didn’t come, Xia Chunyu had automatically woken up.

Ye Jiayao also suddenly woke up and looked at the sandglass for the first time. ” Before the time comes, you can sleep again.”

Xia Chunyu turned over and held her in his arms, hugging her in the most familiar and intimate position.

The voice was still hoarse and tired: ” Don’t sleep, talk with me!”

Ye Jiayao’s mind tightened. Did he tell her?

” I know you’re very upset these days, but it’s confidential and not for your own good. But now things have some changes, and I’d like to hear your opinions.” Xia Chunyu realized that there were some things that she would worry about although he said no problem. Yaoyao was a sensitive and slender woman and had already seen some clues. Rather than making her suspicious, he might as well tell her frankly. Besides, the current situation really needed an onlooker to analyze.

Somehow, Ye Jiayao was not nervous now. No matter what happened, she wouldn’t be afraid if two people faced it together.

Xia Chunyu was silent for a moment to organize the language and said, ” In fact, Helian Xuan is no longer in Xi Meng, and the emperor issue a secret order to make him stay in the northeast, that is, the third day after Ruan tell the news. We are all puzzled why the emperor make such an arrangement. The northeast used to be where my father was guarding, and after father returned to Jinling, there was Weiyuan General called Ma Mingyuan guarding. There is no need to transfer Helian Xuan there at all. We have to link the situation with King Yu.”

” The Su Yuanyuan is a secret woman who is placed in the brothel in the early years. Only a few people know that the place is mixed up with good and evil people and have the best news. But King Yu now has a very tight control over the Helian Mansion, if we sneak around, it is easy to reveal contents. So Little Jing aboveboard contact Su Yuanyuan. And through Su Yuanyuan’s intelligence and some things I heard in the palace, we have a hunch that King Yu is in a bureau, but we don’t know exactly what it is.”

” This is also thanks to your list. We have captured Zheng of the Department of Patrol and Defense and picked up the minister of the Ministry of War. The minister of the Ministry of War is from the prince camp. In fact, he has always been King Yu’s man . This time, King Yu strike at the prince camp and list many charges. We take the opportunity to reveal evidence of arms trafficking by the minister of the Ministry of War to Jiang of Censorate, who is also from King Yu camp. But he does not know that the minister of the Ministry of War is from King Yu camp, and can not report to King Yu immediately. That is to say, King Yu doesn’t take advantage of this battle. His most important piece is removed together.”

Ye Jiayao listened carefully and her heart followed his words.

Xia Chunyu continued: ” But the problem is far from simple. We all think that King Yu is only rooting out the power of the prince. But someone tell emperor that the prince is secretly training men of sacrifice. The emperor is furious and ordered strict investigation. This matter has always been a secret. Even I don’t know it, only Helian Xuan know it. Fortunately, Ruan’s previous report alerted the prince’s to cover up all the evidence early and the clue was broken.”

Ye Jiayao felt a tight mind: ” Why does the prince train the men of sacrifice? Does he really have that mind?”

Xia Chunyu sneered, ” Without these men of sacrifice, the prince will have been assassinated countless times. So it is just in order to protect himself.”

Ye Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good if the clues were broken. Otherwise, the emperor would never tolerate him, no matter what his purpose was. God knew if the emperor would think that the prince was training the men of sacrifice to kill him.

” Now, all the clues are strung together, I finally understand the emperor’s attitude toward Helian Xuan. It is estimated that the thing that the prince secretly set up a group of men of sacrifice has been told to the emperor, adding the trimmings. How can the emperor tolerate the prince’s rebellion? He must first cut off the prince’s wings. The head of the Palace Guards who go to search Military Office and Minister Office and confiscate their properties is my man. He searched a secret order which said that Ma Mingyuan waits for Helian Xuan to come to the spot and kills him.”

Ye Jiayao gasped for air-conditioning and exclaimed, ” Isn’t it dangerous that Helian Xuan?”

Xia Chunyu shook his head: ” I told Helian Xuan earlier to watch out. He deliberately said himself ill and delayed his journey to the northeast. Now it is estimated that he is still on the way.”

” However, the emperor has wanted to kill Helian Xuan, Helia Mansion is not dangerous?” Ye Jiayao was worried.

Xia Chunyu sighed and looked dignified: ” This is my problem. Although the emperor fail to find evidence that the prince has trained the men of sacrifice, the emperor has become suspicious. It is not so easy to dispel the suspicion of the emperor. The prince is now under house arrest.”

Ye Jiayao lost in thought. Yes, what the emperor cared most was that someone tried to shake his supremacy. In history, there were examples of killing parents and children.

” This bureau is hard to break. If we can’t dispel the suspicion of the emperor, There is no doubt that emperor lose favor with the prince. Once the prince loses power, Helian family will bear the brunt. How can I sit idly by?” Xia Chunyu rubbed his swollen brain, said helplessly.

Ye Jiayao said hesitantly, ” Is there any way to bring disaster to the east?”

Xia Chunyu’s eyes flashed: ” What do you mean?”

” Don’t you say that someone wants to assassinate the prince? Since someone can assassinate the prince, he can also assassinate the emperor. ” Ye Jiayao said coldly.

Xia Chunyu sat up in surprise and immediately covered Ye Jiayao’s mouth. He listened warily to the noise around him with his ears up to make sure there was no one outside. Only then did he loosen his hand.

He lowered his voice and seriously said, ” Tell me.”

Ye Jiayao also lowered her voice and said, ” Now that the prince is under house arrest, the guard must be someone chosen by the emperor himself?”

” Well, the emperor know my relationship with Helian family and doesn’t let me step in. Even my soldiers are excluded.” Xia Chunyu said.

Ye Jiayao’s eyes showed a malicious intent: ” Look, even the emperor is on guard for you. This is forcing us to spare no effort to help the prince. If he falls, I’m afraid Jing’an marquis house will suffer.”

” Only by helping the prince wash away the doubts can everyone survive the crisis. My plan is to send someone to assassinate the emperor, which is certainly not true. I’d better point the doubts to Concubine Shu. As for the men of sacrifice, I don’t believe King Yu will have none,” Ye Jiayao said.

Xia Chunyu was thoughtful and remained silent for a long time.

Until there was a crow outside.

Xia Chunyu loosened his eyebrows and stared silently at Ye Jiayao with a solemn look: ” These words said today must not be re-entered into the ears of a third person.”

Ye Jiayao nodded, also didn’t know if her idea was adopted. She also knew that it was very difficult and risky to handle.

Xia Chunyu got up and dressed and said, ” I’m going out. You pretend not to know anything and nothing has happened. Continue your food festival.”

Ye Jiayao remembered one more thing: ” Little Jing asked me to list Su Yuanyuan in the first nine beauties, and do you have any plans to let your mother leave?”

Xia Chunyu said, ” There is a plan, but the plan cannot keep up with the change and will be re-planned.”

” So … does mother have to go? She told me yesterday that she did not want to go.”

Xia Chunyu hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, ” Go, she must go.”

” What about the father?”

Xia Chunyu turned around and said, ” Father will act according to the original plan, so he must go.”

Er … Ye Jiayao couldn’t turn around a bit, and the duke was also involved in the original plan?

When Xia Chunyu went out, it was just bright and gloomy. It was very cold. Ye Jiayao watched his straight back disappear in the cold morning. Her heart was still heavy, but she finally knew what he was going to do, and she believed Chunyu’s strategy and ability. She believed that even though Helian Xuan was far away, he must have some precautions.

Whatever he was, she was his woman anyway. She would follow him on what road he was going to take. It didn’t matter whether he went to heaven or to the hell.
