While he was thinking wildly, a voice suddenly came from outside. Yulan raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Ying's voice came through the curtain: "Princess Qi, I have been ordered by the prince to invite Miss Xiaoyue to the outer study. The prince has a few words to ask her... It is really a crime to disturb the princess's rest.

Death!"

Yulan's heart trembled. She had already found the trace on her personal maid's head. What happened?

Xiaoyue felt even more uneasy, not knowing what this matter had to do with her.

Yulan's mind was spinning and she said, "Xiaoyue, follow Chengying. Whatever the prince asks, tell the truth!"

"Yes!" Xiaoyue agreed and followed Chengying to the outer study room.

Outside the study room, Ye Yichen was also furious.

There are two biggest doubts about this matter.

First: Why did Qiu He stay up in the middle of the night and lead Ye Minwen to such a dangerous place?

Second: The prairie wolves were obviously locked in a cage, why did one of them escape?

Qiu He was buried under the wolf's kiss, but the four guards who were watching the prairie wolf were still there. There must be something wrong with someone among them. The first thing Ye Yichen did when he came up was to interrogate these four people.

As a result, when they were brought in, they found out that one of the guards, Qian Qiang, had long since taken advantage of the chaos in the outer courtyard and ran away without a trace.

After sending Yulan away, Ye Yichen personally went to the small courtyard where the wolves were raised in the northeast corner to take a look. Sure enough, the lock of one of the cages was quietly opened. This shows that this incident is not an accident at all, but a complete and complete incident.

The bottom conspiracy.

Ye Yichen's anger can be imagined.

Only one of the four cages was opened, which means that the person behind the scenes only bribed Qian Qiang. Otherwise, if the four wolves ran out together, Ye Minwen would not be alive until now.

And Qian Qiang must have someone who cooperates with him in the inner courtyard, otherwise it would be impossible to know the time so accurately. As soon as Ye Minwen came out, he opened the cage...

Probably he had too little time to act and was afraid that several other guards would find out, so he only had time to open a cage...

Ye Yichen asked the four guards to divide into two groups and guard the small courtyard just in case, fearing that the wolf would run out and hurt someone. If they did not neglect their duties and guarded the door when Ye Minwen arrived, it would have been a tragedy.

It won't happen.

The three guards didn't need Ye Yichen to ask any more questions. They just poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told them everything. Qian Qiang had been pulling them to gamble these days. At first, they were afraid of the prince's punishment and didn't dare to play more. Who knew Qian Qiang had been doing it these days?

They were extremely unlucky, but the jam was so big that the three of them won a lot of money.

Each of the three guards made a small fortune, but they were greedy and fell into Qian Qiang's trap.

Ye Yichen knows this Qian Qiang! He was an orphan in the past, without a father or a mother. If Ye Yichen hadn't saved his life, he wouldn't be alive today. He followed Ye Yichen in more than one battle. He fought bravely and was not afraid of death.

If you are not greedy for money and can bribe someone with money, the people behind the scenes are really quite capable.

Ye Yichen also had to admire the person behind the scenes for his thorough planning and decisive actions!

Ye Yichen asked Zhan Lu to take people to check Qian Qiang's residence, and unexpectedly found a well-preserved sachet used by women in his residence. There was a small photo inside, which looked very much like Xiaoyue.

Zhan Lu was also shocked when he got this sachet. Giving and receiving things privately is not a good reputation, especially Xiaoyue is the princess's maid, so the reputation of the princess will be damaged as well.

But if Xiaoyue really had an affair with Qian Qiang, then it would make sense that the princess could bribe Qian Qiang to do tricks on the cage.

The princess was already full of doubts, but now she was given another layer of suspicion.

Although Zhan Lu couldn't believe that someone as gentle and kind as the princess would do such a vicious and crazy act, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

In his opinion, with so much evidence in front of him, it can almost be regarded as ironclad evidence.

When he went back and handed the sachet to Ye Yichen, he saw that there was not much change in Ye Yichen's expression. Zhan Lu couldn't help but admire the prince's magnanimity. If the woman next to him was such a beautiful snake, he would definitely not be as good as the prince.

The clouds are so clear and the wind is clear.

At this moment, Ye Yichen's lips curled up into a sneer.

Xiaoyue was brought into the prince's outer study.

After saluting, Ye Yichen knelt on the ground. Without any nonsense, he directly motioned to Zhan Lu to take out the sachet and handed it to Xiaoyue: "Is this sachet yours?"

When she came, Xiaoyue was still a little nervous, but when she finally arrived in the prince's study, she was not afraid of anything. She identified it carefully and replied: "This sachet belongs to the slave! But it was thrown away three days ago.

I've been looking for this slave for a long time but haven't found it yet. I wonder how it came to be in the hands of the prince?"

"Open it and take a look. There is a portrait of you inside this sachet. Did you put it in yourself?"

Xiaoyue opened it and looked at it, then shook her head firmly: "No, I used this sachet to hold incense. Since the princess was pregnant and couldn't smell the smell, I took off this sachet and put it in my room.

, I suddenly couldn’t find it three days ago. I never put the little prime minister in there!”

Ye Yichen's voice was suddenly filled with oppression: "This sachet was found from the house of an escaped guard. Do you know Qian Qiang? One of you is in the inner courtyard and the other is in the outer courtyard. If there is no personal relationship between you, you

How did the sachet fall into his hands?"

This is exactly what Zhan Lu wanted to ask.

Xiaoyue's face changed when she heard this. Of course she knew what it meant to give and receive in private, and she quickly defended herself: "I rarely go out to the second door, and I don't even know any guards! I have never given a sachet to anyone else."

A person, let alone a man, please give me a warning!"

Ye Yichen observed her expression carefully. Seeing her open expression, he already knew it.

He said slowly: "Is everything you said true?" His tone was stern and extremely oppressive.

"I dare to swear to God! I definitely did not give this sachet to that guard. I don't know him at all!"

Ye Yichen nodded and ordered: "Detain her in the wing for the time being and send a mother-in-law to guard her."

Xiaoyue was taken down.

Manager Ma came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Qin is here!" As soon as Qian Qiang escaped, the first thing Ye Yichen thought of was Ye Fengqi. He had a powerful spy organization in his hands, and he was the perfect person to hunt down Qian Qiang.

Ye Yichen ordered: "Please come in!"

Before Ye Fengqi came in, a burst of hearty laughter came first, "Brother Sixteen called my brother here so early, but what good things are waiting for me?" Ye Fengqi walked in at a leisurely pace, wearing a coat

The scarlet cloak makes him more heroic and extraordinary.

When he entered the study and saw the condensed atmosphere in the room, he knew that he had expressed the wrong feelings. He touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "What happened?"

Ye Yichen asked someone to move a chair for him to sit on. Chengying made tea himself and then led everyone out of the study.

Since his brothers were as close as brothers, Ye Yichen did not hide anything from him, so he told all the causes and consequences of Ye Minwen being bitten by the wolf.

Ye Yichen said: "I want you to help me find someone."

Ye Fengqi said: "But that Qian Qiang?"

"Exactly this person!"

Ye Fengqi immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Brother Sixteen, if this bastard is still in the capital, I will definitely dig him out." He was also a man who acted vigorously and resolutely, so he stopped drinking tea.

I called a young boy in, gave some instructions and arrangements in front of Ye Yichen, and then the young boy took the order.

When the boy left, Ye Fengqi said: "How is my nephew? Why don't Brother Sixteen take me to see him?"

Ye Yichen nodded and took Ye Fengqi to the inner room to have a look at Ye Minwen. The wet nurse was still waiting in the room. Ye Minwen was given medicine and the room was lit with benzoin. His face looked much better than before.

Ye Fengqi didn't stay long for fear of disturbing the child, so he took a look and came out.

Cheng Ying changed a cup of tea. Ye Fengqi was also a very smart person. He mused: "Didn't Brother Sixteen put his nephew in his sister-in-law's house to raise..." Could it be that his brother was suspicious of his sister-in-law?

Ye Yichen took a sip of tea and slowly shook his head: "I didn't suspect her." He felt slightly astringent. It seemed a little late to say this now.

Ye Fengqi breathed a sigh of relief. He admired Yulan's personality and talents very much. "Which bastard is this, dares to plot against Brother Sixteen? He actually wants to frame my sister-in-law, this is

I'm trying to sow discord between you!"

Ye Yichen thought about the words "sowing discord" twice in his mind, and a thoughtful look flashed across his face. "How are you sure your sister-in-law didn't do it? All the doubts point to her!"

"Impossible!" Ye Fengqi denied firmly. "Although I have not met my sister-in-law a few times, I also know that my sister-in-law has a noble character and will never do such a thing that is worse than a beast!"

Ye Yichen felt ashamed that he, who slept in the same bed with her day and night, could not trust her more than Ye Fengqi.

No wonder she was so heartbroken!

Looking outside, the white fish belly appeared on the horizon. Ye Yichen stayed up all night without closing his eyes. He called a steward in and said: "Ask the small kitchen to make some delicious food. Come in, I will have breakfast with you, Master Qi."

meal."

Ye Fengqi laughed and said: "This will disturb Brother Sixteen!"

Ye Yichen was about to speak when Cheng Ying ran in in a panic.

Ye Yichen's face darkened: "What's the matter?"

Cheng Ying's face turned pale, and he was trembling a little when he spoke, "Your Majesty, it's not good! News came from the main courtyard, saying that the princess saw her and became famous!"
