Lucky Star Little Maid - C215
Today, the most unstable families outside the palace were Xu Family and Zhang Family.
The other clans might be affected, but they were not the main clans.
Even though Ye Jingche was a conceited person, he was still intelligent. He knew that if he failed in the palace, if it was anyone else who controlled their Xu Family, they might still have a chance to talk.
Only, he never would have thought that although he didn’t know much about Xu Family, he knew that he would make a move today.
And Xu Shiqiu, on the other hand, had returned to the capital yesterday and specially hidden in the palace for a day, just to wait for him to make a move and take him down in the open.
If that was the case, how could these two guilds not be prepared?
Yan Ye did not enter the palace today but chose to stay in the backyard of the Xu Family. His mission was not only to keep an eye on the situation outside the palace, but also to ensure that the’s guards and people Ye Jingxing had arranged for would not be able to protect the Xu Family.
However, it was unknown whether it was Ye Jingche who had brought all of his subordinates’ elites into the palace or the Xu Family’s guards, or the people Ye Jingxing had arranged were just too brave and fierce. The group of people who had surrounded the Xu Family had charged over three times, but still failed to break through their defensive line.
Although their Zhang Family were slightly worse than their Xu Family, a few people rushed in, but with Zhang Family alone, their families had more children and grandchildren, a few of them surrounded and attacked one person, and the people who just rushed in were beaten to death by Zhang Family’s random sticks.
However, in the courtyard house in Xu Family, Madame Jiang who had not heard the news in advance was still too frightened to tell.
“Who did our family offend?”
Madame Jiang looked at Xu Yanqing in fear. After hearing what she said, she did not say a word, and just as she was about to continue, she heard her husband whisper to him, “Don’t worry. It seems like mother has already made arrangements.”
When Xu Xiaozhi’s words came out, the Madame Jiang froze for a moment before quickly reacting, “That’s right! Right! With Mother here, our family will definitely be fine. ”
Although the Madame Jiang was timid, she was one thing good, and that was, she was especially afraid of the, this mother-in-law.
Just then, Xu Xiaozhi saw that she wanted to question Xu Yanqing, and immediately brought his mother out.
Xu Yanqing saw that her second uncle had comforted her with a single sentence, and then explained, “Second uncle is right. Not only did grandma make arrangements for us, even her husband has men assigned to protect us at home.” Xu Yanqing paused before continuing, “The palace is the most important place. We are not that scary here.”
Just as Xu Yanqing finished speaking, Madame Jiang’s expression instantly changed. Luckily she wasn’t stupid enough to say anything that wasn’t appropriate.
On the other hand, when Xu Xiaozhi heard his eldest nephew’s words, he hurriedly nodded his head and said: “It looks like what you said is very reasonable. None of us are important, what is important is still the palace.”
When Xu Xiaozhi said this, the Madame Jiang opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say a single word.
Until now, she had been even more foolish. With what had just happened, as well as the words of Xu Yanqing and her husband, she was able to guess just what had happened in the palace.
Thinking that if Ye Jingche ascended the throne, his family would probably be in for a hard time, and her expression would not be good.
Xu Yanmo had been bringing Yuanxi the entire time, and it was just that Yuanxi was tired now. She also had her people place Yuanxi by her side to rest, and truly did not want to get too close to him.
Seeing Second Aunt’s expression, she couldn’t help but comfort her, “Second Aunt, don’t worry. Grandmother has already made arrangements. If there really is something, someone will send us away.”
When Xu Yanmo said this, Madame Jiang’s expression became even better.
It was obvious that she was completely convinced by the Old Madame Xu, but even so, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
The Madame Jiang felt that her own life was extremely comfortable, her eldest son’s management was getting better and better, and his second son had studied well as well. Although he couldn’t compare to Xu Yanqing, his teacher had told him that if he stayed longer than two years, he would be able to become an Elementary Scholar or even come back as a High Scholar.
As for higher?
Madame Jiang did not think that much. Following Xu Family, as long as his second son could pass the High Scholar examination, even if he could not, his family would think of ways to make him an official.
But now, such a good day was most likely gone.
Fortunately the Madame Jiang also understood that if Ye Jingxing successfully ascended the throne, the number one of Xu Family would be different.
So at this time, Madame Jiang did not say any bad words.
However, she was still quite frightened when she heard the commotion outside.
The most unconscious person in all of Xu Family was most likely Yuanxi.
Although her mother and grandmother were not at home today, Dong Shu still kept Mama Yan to help take care of her. With someone familiar by her side, even if she was not familiar with a few Cousin s and her cousin Xu Yanmo, Yuanxi did not cry. It was just that she clearly ate less than when she was at home.
The Mama Yan was also worried, that Dong Shu had especially kept her here today, just in case they were unable to leave the palace, so that she could bring Yuanxi away.
She was a member of the Empress Hu. If something really happened, she would use a part of the Empress Hu’s network to leave the capital.
This was also Dong Shu’s last request. Regardless of whether she could come out or not, as long as Ye Jingche won, Mama Yan would protect him and immediately leave.
However, in the end, it was still not enough to resist Dong Shu’s pleas. After all, in Dong Shu’s heart, the most important person right now was still Yuanxi.
The whole family waited anxiously, including Yan Ye who was still in the backyard and did not show his face. They were also waiting for news from the palace.
After confirming that the people outside were not very skilled and would probably not be able to enter, he became even more anxious to find out more about the news in the palace.
Fortunately, this wait did not last long.
Not long after those people outside the door, who were indeed unable to break through their defenses and retreat, two soldiers from the Iron Eagle Brigade rode their horses over, bringing with them the news that everything in the palace was fine.
“Iron Eagle Brigade? Is Third Uncle back? ”
When Xu Yanbo, who had not spoken until now, saw the soldiers from the Iron Eagle Brigade, his eyes immediately lit up. He impatiently took a few steps forward, completely throwing the young master from the throne behind, and directly went past Xu Yanqing and asked.
Xu Yanqing did not bother about his actions, because he knew that Xu Yanbo had been working with the Third Uncle for the past few months. He definitely had a better understanding of the Third Uncle’s situation than she did.
“To reply young master’s words, the general reached the outskirts of the capital at noon yesterday, but was stopped by His Majesty and secretly brought to the palace.”
The soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade did not recognize Xu Yanbo, but from the way he addressed Xu Shiqiu before, and his face, they could guess that he was the prince of the Xu Family, and the nephew of their general.
And just as the Iron Eagle Brigade Soldier’s voice fell, the people who were waiting here from top to bottom, other than the Yuanxi who still did not know anything and was soundly asleep, all of them heaved sighs of relief.
In their hearts, although the current Xu Shiqiu wasn’t as powerful as the other pillar of Xu Family from before, with him here, their safety was assured by one more, and their Xu Family by one more.
Seeing that the mood of the Xu Family participants was relatively stable, the two Iron Eagle Brigade soldiers proposed to take their leave.
Although Ye Jingche had already taken care of all the other matters in the palace, there were still other things that he needed to do.
At least within the palace, they would have to pay up to two or three times. If there were still Ye Jingche’s people remaining and they added poison, it would definitely not work.
When the people of Xu Family saw that the soldiers were about to leave, they immediately opened their mouths to inquire about the situation in the palace.
The two Iron Eagle Brigade soldiers originally did not want to say much, but thinking that these were the general’s family, they thought for a while. After the two of them looked at each other, one of the soldiers who had previously opened his mouth spoke: “Everything is fine in the palace.
After saying this, the two Iron Eagle Brigade soldiers unhesitatingly turned around and walked away, afraid that they would drag them and ask about something else.
Seeing their slightly impatient backs, Madame Jiang was just about to open her mouth in dissatisfaction, when Xu Xiaozhi quickly pulled her up and said: “Presumably, the time had given an order in advance, not allowing them to say more. This is military discipline, so don’t ask too much. Didn’t you already confirm that everything in the palace is fine? ”
With these words from Xu Xiaozhi, the Madame Jiang snorted coldly and did not speak.
And Xu Xiaozhi’s words also caused Xu Yanqing and the rest to recall that the Iron Eagle Brigade Soldier was one of Third Uncle’s underlings.
Thinking back to what Xu Yanhao said when he returned home, they only understood the strict nature of the Third Uncle’s army.
Here, they only knew that everything was fine in the palace, but Yan Ye, who was in the backyard, knew much more than them.
Looking at the message in his hand that was just delivered by a flying pigeon, Yan Ye’s lips curled up in a joyful smile.
“This time, you asked for it yourself. You actually wanted to poison your courtier. Although you did not succeed, I believe that even if that person wanted to save your life, those people would not tolerate it.”
This time, he was finally able to capture Ye Jingche, who had harmed his entire family. Although he knew what had happened at that time, without the Emperor Ruikang, his family wouldn’t have been killed so quickly, the cause of this matter was Ye Jingche wanting to scheme for his father’s position of crown prince.
And the fire that made his entire family have no chance to explain themselves, was Ye Jingche’s and the Liu family’s work.
However, all of this was because their family was imprisoned in the Crown Prince’s Palace and could not see anyone.
Thinking about the news that came from the palace and how Emperor Ruikang’s body had been ruined, a trace of unwillingness flashed past Yan Ye’s eyes.
He knew that if he wanted Emperor Ruikang to die early, he would not agree to it.
If the new emperor ascended to the throne, the imperial court would definitely be in turmoil for a period of time. If Emperor Ruikang, who could have lived for another half a year or even a year, had suddenly died, the imperial court would not be at peace.
If not for Xu Yanzhu at this time, Yan Ye might have attacked without a care, but thinking of Xu Yanzhu and the child in her womb, Yan Ye sighed and could only choose to give up.
At this time, Yan Ye still did not know that Emperor Ruikang had once again spat out blood due to the anger he had received from Ye Jingche. His body, which could have lasted another half a year or even a year, would most likely not have lasted that long.
At this time, he was sure that the matters in the capital had come to an end, and he suddenly missed Xu Yanzhu. He wanted to quickly settle the matters here and go back to accompany her.
However, Yan Ye also didn’t know, that his identity would soon become impossible to conceal.
