step by step

Chapter 312
"I heard that the young master is very good-looking, maybe Zhuo Wang will help him set up a new family!" A young woman talked about it enthusiastically.

Another female relative shook her head: "What do you know, this is not such a simple matter."

"Why isn't it simple? Don't be a fool!" the woman urged.

The female family member glanced at her and said: "Young Master Zhuo was not born to Princess Zhuo, and there was an incident of being questioned about his bloodline a few days ago. At this time, King Zhuo not only did not take sides to protect his own son, but also let him Moving out, the reason for this, is it true that others don't know?"

"You mean..." The woman widened her eyes, unable to believe it.

"It's said that the young master was dumped since he was a child, and he is no longer alive. Today's young master Zhuo was born by a nanny."

"You said that the young man was born to a nanny, but is it true?"

"It's absolutely true." The female relative said affirmatively.

Hearing this, the young woman suddenly realized.

"So that's the case, no wonder Zhuo Wang asked him to move out of Zhuo Wang's mansion, I'm afraid he wanted him to recognize himself earlier."

"If it were me, I would definitely not be able to swallow this bad breath, let alone a noble person like Lord Zhuo, he would not allow such a stain to exist."

"Oh, it's a pity. After finally growing into what it is today, it's like a banished immortal. It's a fake. Poor."

"Shh, you can't gossip about this matter, if you get caught, your life will be over." The woman next to her tugged at her sleeve, motioning her to shut up.

The man stuck out his tongue resentfully, not daring to say any more.

When Ye Zhaoyan heard the news, he was having lunch in Ye Mansion, and he couldn't tell whether it was sour or relieved.

What I overheard at the wall of Zhuoyibai courtyard that day has always been lingering in my heart, combined with today's rumors, many things emerged from behind the fog in an instant.

In this way, what happened to Yueniang is not completely nonsense, and it is even somewhat true.

And the so-called relocation out of the mansion, was he deliberately driven out of Zhuo Wang's mansion?
Zhuyu looked at her solemn expression, and said worriedly: "Miss, didn't you tell us to stay away from Mr. Zhuo's guards a few days ago? Why today?"

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't listen to her words, and scenes of the past came to his mind in a messy state of mind.

Under the obscure candlelight of Zhuo Wang's Mansion, the young man once said to her: "If Miss Ye has any unspeakable secrets, she may not be able to tell me."

At that time, she would rather be alone for the rest of her life than get close to him, just because he was the son of a potential hostile force.

She must not repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

But now, he is most likely not the heir of King Zhuo, so how should she face him?
Ye Zhaoyan stared blankly at the gradually gloomy clouds outside the window, unable to recover for a long time.

"Miss," Zhuyu's voice came into her ears again, "I heard that Young Master Zhuo just moved out of the Zhuo Palace, and he closed the door to thank guests, even the old people from the Zhuo Palace were turned away."

She turned her head suddenly and looked at Zhuyu: "What did you say?"

"Miss?" Zhuyu was a little confused, not knowing why she showed such a shocked and excited expression, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

After a while, Ye Zhaoyan stood up abruptly, ran out of the door, and turned onto a light bay red horse, which was the oath that had recovered from his injury.

She whipped her horse and galloped towards Qingfeng Road, with only one thought left in her mind - she must ask clearly in person.

Looking at the towering green brick wall of Qingfeng Road from a distance, her heart beats fast.

When he got closer, he found that the courtyard was surrounded by the forbidden army. Judging by the rules, he was not from Emperor Donglin.

As a last resort, Ye Zhaoyan had no choice but to stop the horse, jumped off the horse and walked in front of the imperial army, asking, "What are you doing here?"

The imperial guards raised their heads and glanced at her, with a cold tone: "The King Zhuo ordered us to guard here, and the idlers stay away."

After pondering for a while, she decided not to report her family name for the time being, "I'm an acquaintance of Zhuo Yibai, I'm here to visit."

"Presumptuous!" The guards drew their swords and shouted, "This is not a place where women like you can wander around casually!"

Ye Zhaoyan frowned slightly, and became more and more puzzled in his heart. Although this group of forbidden soldiers were the most ordinary soldiers, there were also [-] people, and all of them were dressed in standard clothes. Logically, they would not be sent to guard such a remote street.

What the hell happened to this place?
She was wondering, when she suddenly heard footsteps, followed the sound, and suddenly saw a Wei Yu in a black dress walking towards this side in a hurry.

"Miss Ye!" Wei Yu was surprised when she saw Ye Zhaoyan.

"Does your son live here?"

Wei Yu nodded, explained a few words to the guards at the door, and then brought Ye Zhaoyan inside.

Before entering the door, the sword on Ye Zhaoyan's body was seized by the forbidden army.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't say a word, just pushed the door open and entered the room, a smell of medicine came to his nostrils
This is a huge wing room, which is tidy and clean, only tables, chairs and screens are placed, which looks very simple.

There was a young boy lying on the bed, with a handsome and beautiful face, but at this time there was no blood, a bright red mark appeared on his lips, and he looked very weak. His arms were resting on his forehead, blocking his eyes.

This posture seems to be caused by suppressing pain.

"Zhuo Yibai?" Ye Zhaoyan called out.

No response.

Ye Zhaoyan clenched the corner of his clothes tightly, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and put his hand on his wrist.

"Miss Ye..." Wei Yu, who was following behind, called out in a low voice, but hesitated to speak.

Ye Zhaoyan acted as if he hadn't heard it, and quietly took the young man's pulse.

After a long time, Ye Zhaoyan slowly withdrew his fingers.

Seeing her stiff face, Wei Yu cried out worriedly: "Miss Ye, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Ye Zhaoyan curled the corners of his mouth to cover up his sorrow, "He was poisoned by Gu and his body is very weak."

"Gu poison?" Wei Yu exclaimed, "You mean... Young Master..."

Ye Zhaoyan pursed his lips, and said calmly, "That's right, it's the legendary Gu."

With a shocked look on Wei Yu's face, she murmured, "How...how is this possible..."

"nothing is impossible."

Wei Yu sat there in a daze.

After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Miss Ruoye is right, so the poisoning of the young master was not ordered by the prince?"

"perhaps."

"Since the prince knew that the young master was poisoned, he still kicked the young master out of the Zhuo Palace..." Wei Yu gritted her teeth.

Ye Zhaoyan pondered: "It is rumored that he is not the real flesh and blood of King Zhuo, do you know the truth?"

Wei Yu nodded hesitantly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "The prince found out three days ago that the young master was not born to him. As for which lady stole the dragon and turned the phoenix, the prince did not disclose it, but the young master has been very intelligent since he was a child." , During these years of being educated in the palace, I have also developed a relationship with the prince. The prince could not bear to kill him, but the night before yesterday, someone reported that the son was a spy work sent by the enemy country when he was half a year old, and invited many elders from the Zhuo family to come forward , Threatening that the young master will arrange it in Zhuo Wang's mansion, and one day he will frame the prince for treason."

"Careful work..." Ye Zhaoyan's eyes flickered.

　There will be more tomorrow.
