Chapter 136 Give Him a Happy Death
Chapter 136 Give Him a Happy Death
Leng Qingyi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ye Erlang on the ground, whose eyes were gradually becoming clearer.
"Oh? If it's not to assassinate me, then what is it?"
Ye Erlang recalled that when he was young, his grandfather taught him how to read and write, how to be a good person, and how to be loyal to the emperor, love his country, and care for the people.
But what are you doing now?
They actually helped outsiders to harm their own country.
"I...I...I'm here to inquire about Mr. Zhou's research results."
"Oh? Who asked you to find out?"
"I don't know his specific identity, but I am sure that he is not from Dongxia."
"How do you know for sure?"
"Because I once heard him talking to someone about attacking Dongxia. So that person must not be from Dongxia."
"What did you find out?"
"That young eunuch was watching closely and I didn't find a chance to sneak in."
"You've been doing things for each other for the past two months."
Leng Qingyi's words were not a question but an affirmation.
Ye Erlang, lying on the ground in pain both physically and mentally, looked up in disbelief at the emperor who was looking down on him.
"Why? Surprised? Is this hard to guess?"
After taking a look at the human skin mask thrown on the ground, what else did he not understand?
But how could a student with some martial arts skills like me escape the imperial army's pursuit alone and have the chance to sneak into the palace?
Ye Erlang's expression confirmed Leng Qingyi's guess.
"So the person who was spying on me at the Ministry of Works was also responsible."
Ye Erlang had to succumb to the emperor's keenness.
When they were unaware that they had been discovered, the emperor not only discovered their existence but also took measures.
"Why did they send people to investigate Zhou Qi's research?"
"I don't know the details, but it seems that one of Mr. Zhou's research has aroused great interest from the other party's master."
"A gun?"
"I don't know. I buried something under the largest tree in the backyard of the General's Mansion that might be useful to Dongxia."
"Since you have already decided to work for them, why are you confessing everything now?"
Ye Erlang was silent. He didn't know how to answer this question.
In his heart, he should hate the man who ordered the execution of his three clans.
But the education and cognition of more than ten years told him that it was all his father's own fault.
He has been stuck in this dilemma for the past two months.
It’s good that he has been caught now. He can finally be freed and reunited with his family.
Leng Qing saw that he was silent but he could roughly understand the reason.
"Well, An San, let's give him a quick death."
The person behind the scenes probably didn't expect that sending a man whose entire family she had killed as a spy would lead to betrayal.
An San reluctantly took out a dagger and cut the rope tied to Ye Erlang, then cut his throat with a quick move.
"An Yi, send someone to look for the place he mentioned. Be careful."
Who knows whether he has come to his senses or has set up a trap for her to fall into.
If a wanted criminal joins forces with people from other countries as he claims, he will be charged with treason.
Such people cannot be fully trusted no matter how good their character was before.
Leng Qingyi's side was relatively smooth, but Zhongli Yuan, who was moving the palace, was not so smooth.
It is well known that the emperor is not interested in women. If it remains like this, the women in the harem will not mind.
If someone breaks this balance, he or she will become the public enemy of the women in the harem.
It just so happens that Zhongli Yuan has now become the public enemy of the women in the harem.
She had just arranged for people to move the things from Zhongcui Palace to Weiyang Palace, and within half an hour most of the people in the harem had received the news.
Since he returned to the palace yesterday, countless eyes have been staring at him.
Although they felt a little better about not living in the Yangxin Palace all the time, the Weiyang Palace was also a place they longed to live in but could not.
Besides, they didn't visit their sister when she was seriously injured, so now that she has recovered and returned to the palace, they should come and see her.
Just as Zhongli Yuan was supervising the servants in moving the palace, a group of beautiful women arrived at Weiyang Palace one after another as if they had made an appointment.
"Meet Sister Yifei."
Zhongli Yuan felt a bit of a headache looking at this group of unfamiliar women.
But due to his current status, he had no choice but to deal with it.
Dong Yu Qiuyue, who was following behind Zhong Liyuan, saw this and hurriedly took two steps forward, trying to get close to Zhong Liyuan's ear to give him some advice.
Zhongli Yuan had already gone forward to meet them.
"How come you all have time to come here?"
The tone was indifferent and there was no hint of welcome.
The smiles on the faces of those gorgeously dressed women froze, as if they had not expected Concubine Yi to be so disrespectful to them.
Years of training as ladies from wealthy families made the expressions on their faces stiffen for only a moment before returning to normal.
"Look at what Sister Yifei said. Two months ago, when you were injured, the Emperor didn't allow us to come visit for fear of affecting your recovery."
"Now that my sister has recovered from her injuries and is back, there's no reason for us not to come and visit her."
"Yes, we should have come here to pay our respects to Sister Yifei yesterday. We were worried that Sister Yifei would be tired from traveling so we came today. I hope Sister Yifei won't blame us."
"Yesterday we made a special trip to the Imperial Concubine's place to see if my sister had paid a visit to her after returning to the palace."
"If he goes, I think he will be completely recovered and we won't have to worry about disturbing Sister Yifei's recovery."
"Today I heard that my sister is moving from Zhongcui Palace to Weiyang Palace. I don't know how many days this will take."
"Etiquette cannot be abandoned. My sister has moved to the palace, so I think her health has completely recovered. We must come to pay her a visit."
"By the way, Sister Yifei, this is the bird's nest that my father sent to the palace. It's good for your health, so I brought some for you to try. I hope you don't mind it."
"Sister, you don't have to wait for us to bring gifts, lest Sister Yifei think we don't bring any gifts."
"What did my sister say?"
"This is not a rush to talk about this."
A hint of annoyance flashed across Zhongli Yuan's eyes. For the first time, he felt that the women in his harem were so annoying.
"Don't stand outside, come inside and sit down."
Zhongli Yuan spoke in a calm tone, then turned around and walked into the hall.
The concubines behind him looked at each other, their faces somewhat embarrassed.
But now that I'm here, I can't just go back just because Concubine Yi has a bad attitude. That would be even more embarrassing.
He could only suppress his anger and follow Zhongli Yuan into the gate of Weiyang Palace.
The Weiyang Palace is the palace closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the luxury inside is evident.
The previous owner of this palace was the favorite concubine of the late emperor, and the decoration, furniture and ornaments are all first-class.
The concubines who followed Zhongli Yuan in couldn't help but feel red-eyed.
"Sister Yifei's new palace is truly luxurious, even comparable to the Imperial Concubine's Ronghua Palace."
"More than that, I see that Sister Yifei's Weiyang Palace is bigger and more spacious than the Royal Concubine's Ronghua Palace."
