ration to say.An Xuetang nodded. "Fine, I'll mention it to Ajing when he gets back. As for the rest, you prepare it according to what we just said. These people from Xuan Guo...I won't let them have a...As it turned out, his guess was mostly right. He did see her, and he found her.

But face to face like this, he was so nervous he didn't know what to say.

Ye Er only knew that he was nervous and didn't know how to speak to her proactively. Unbeknownst to him, his tense state and expressionless face appeared to Xiao Qin as a highly displeasing demeanor.

Xiaoqin also knows that the two people's identities are embarrassing. Ye Er's parents still died because of her. It can be said that she is Ye Er's murderer who killed her father, mother and brother. The two really shouldn't sit here calmly.

Thinking about the commotion at the gates of Beijiang Prince's Mansion today, she worried that the Princess Consort of Beijiang wouldn't be able to handle it herself.

She did learn from her father that Ye Er was now a favorite of the Emperor, a highly trusted minister.

The father also said that the emperor never looked favorably upon the Princess of Beijang, and had long wanted to take action against her. However, due to various reasons, he did not dare to do anything to the princess.

But once the emperor got a chance, he would never let go of the Princess of Beijng.

The princess was her savior. Without the princess, she couldn't have the freedom and ease she enjoys today. So there was no way she would stand idly by and do nothing if something happened to the princess.

No matter what she thinks of, no matter if it works or not, she has to give it a try.

So, upon hearing the news early that morning, she hurried to meet Ye Er.

When Ye Er entered the palace, she ran behind his carriage, wanting to call him back. But then, thinking of her relationship with Ye Er, it was completely unsuitable for them to meet. If someone saw them, it might reach the emperor's ears. Given the current emperor's suspicious nature, Ye Er would certainly be suspected.

By then, she would have gotten Ye Er into trouble.

So she and her maidservant trailed behind the carriage for a short distance before coming to their senses, hastily hiding themselves.

Later, she heard that Ye Er would pass by this street every time he returned from the palace. So she booked the best view box here, hoping to get lucky and meet him.

She never expected her luck to be so good. She waited, and sure enough, she got what she was waiting for.

All she could think was how to approach him now, seeing Ye Er's expression, she felt he seemed quite impatient.

After a moment's hesitation, Xiaoqin felt that dragging it out would only make Ye Er more agitated, so she decided to resolve it quickly.

"You..."

"You..."

Neither of them expected to speak at the same time, and neither expected to stop at the same time.

Seeing the sweat on her forehead, Ye Er was actually a little confused. She didn't seem like someone who would be afraid of him.

"My lady, please speak first."

Xiao Qin pursed her lips. Since Ye Er had spoken, she didn't have to be coy anymore, so she directly stated her intention:

"Master Ye, do you know that some unpleasant things happened this morning at the gates of Beijang Prince's Mansion"

Ye Er thought to himself, 'As expected,' indeed, the only reason Xiao Qin would come looking for him now was this.

He nodded slightly, "I know, the Fourth Prince had an accident recently and is being treated by the imperial physician. The wives of the Cheng family who went to cause a scene are all kneeling outside the palace begging for an audience."

"Heh."

When it came to the women of the Cheng family, Xiao Qin immediately forgot about the awkward atmosphere. Recalling their actions, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she said with a cold, emotionless voice devoid of any respect:

"I really don't know what face they have to make a fuss at the Northern Border Prince's Mansion. Let alone that Cheng Ru'er's death was self-inflicted, even if all the female members of the Cheng family died today at the hands of the Northern Border Prince's Mansion, they wouldn't be innocent."

As for that bunch of clueless Cheng family members, she didn't care if they lived or died. Since they dared to cause trouble for the Bei Jiang Royal Manor at this critical juncture, not only did she wish harm upon them, but she would even rather personally execute them herself.

Especially, she knew that the current Northern Border Princess was pregnant. If they went to cause trouble, it would definitely affect the princess's mood. If the princess was unhappy, she would definitely not be able to take good care of her pregnancy.

To put it simply, the Cheng family deserves to die.

Ye Er saw her indignant expression, a slight smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. This was the her he had in mind.

Well, she's still the same.

After Xiao Qin finished speaking, she realized that she didn't know which side Ye Er was on. So, saying these things in front of Ye Er seemed inappropriate.

Now looking into Ye Er's deep eyes, fathomless, she couldn't guess what he meant at all.

So, my expression is a little awkward right now, "Sorry, I...I just couldn't help but feel angry in the moment."

Looking at her appearance, Ye Er couldn't help but chuckle softly, "The princess is right. Whether it's Cheng Ru'er's death or the Cheng family's experience today, they are all reaping what they have sown. They can blame no one else."

Hearing his statement, and clearly disapproving of the Cheng family's actions as well, Xiao Qin let out a slight sigh of relief:

"Since Lord Ye thinks so as well, could Lord Ye enlighten us on His Majesty's intentions Does His Majesty have some other scheme to deal with the Princess of Beijiang"

Now she cares about nothing but the safety of the Northern Border Princess. The princess is now six months pregnant. That foolish emperor, if he truly wanted to cause trouble, would find ways to scheme against the princess. She worries that the princess might accidentally fall into the trap set by that dog emperor.

In front of her, Ye Er didn't want to hide anything either. At this moment, she nodded without hesitation:

"The Emperor is certainly trying every means possible to eliminate the entire North Border Royal Family, especially since the North Border King possesses exceptional abilities. Given the current Emperor's temperament, he would undoubtedly be unable to tolerate the presence of the North Border King."

Upon hearing what Ye Er said, Xiaoqin's heart filled with rage. Her mind clouded by anger, she forgot everything else and blurted out a curse at Ye Er right there:

This emperor is utterly cruel and depraved. No matter what, King Beijang is his own flesh and blood; even a tiger wouldn't eat its offspring! This man is worse than an animal!

“...”

Ye Er was taken aback for a moment, but quickly broke into a smile.

I'm afraid Xiaoqin forgot that Ye Er is now a favorite of the emperor when she was uttering these words.

In the eyes of all people in the capital, he was the emperor's man, so even if they wanted to scold the emperor, they shouldn't do it in front of him.

"Master Ye, you said that dog emperor..."

The moment Xiao Qin caught Shang Ye's gaze, she abruptly came to her senses and shut her mouth instantly. Her face flushed with embarrassment, wishing she could just disappear into the ground.

She silently cursed herself for not thinking straight when she left the house today. How could she possibly curse the emperor in front of his favored ministers

Seeing Xiao Qin's frustration, Ye Er didn't want her to continue feeling embarrassed. He still had a faint smile on his lips, "The county princess is right."

Xiaoqin: “!” Are you alright

You are the emperor's favorite minister, it is said that the emperor now trusts only you, and he summons you to the palace every day to accompany him in handling state affairs.

Xiao Qin's expression was ever-changing. To Ye Er, such a Xiao Qin was lively and vivid. This was the Xiao Qin he knew, and he liked her this way.

Over the years, the only light in his life has been her like this. The woman in his dreams all these years has been just like this.

So as he stared at her face now, for a moment he couldn't tell if it was real or a dream. He found himself reaching out to her face involuntarily. did not want him interfering today, no matter what transpired.So, he went through the motions of his wedding ceremony.Before a woman gets married, her mother usually gives her some good advice. But t...
