Seven days later, the Yelu clan was sentenced to have their property confiscated. Several people, led by Yelu Yixin, were beheaded, and their women were sent to the music school.

But when they went to the prison to pick up the person, they found that he was missing.

The jailer was so frightened that he fell to the ground and said, "It's over. The person is gone. It's all over now."

The jailer got up from the ground trembling and rushed out. Fortunately, he did not shout nonsense, thinking of reporting to the Shangshu immediately.

When the Minister of Justice heard the news, he almost fainted.

An hour ago, he came in person to confirm that the person was still in prison. Now he wanted to take him to the vegetable market to be beheaded, but the person has disappeared.

This is not going to cost him his life.

"Sir, the prisoner is missing. What should we do?"

The Minister of Justice roared, "You ask me, who should I ask? If we don't supervise properly, no one can escape."

Yelling can actually calm people down.

"Master Liu, please send people to search for the whereabouts of the criminal in the city first. Don't make a big fuss. I will go to the palace to apologize to His Majesty."

Chief Liu shouted anxiously: "Sir..."

"I am the Minister of Justice. I have to take responsibility if something goes wrong. You guys go do your work first."

The Minister of Justice hurried into the palace and reported to His Majesty that Yelu Yixin had escaped from the prison: "I am guilty of allowing the criminal Yelu Yixin to escape from the prison. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Yelu Hongji was discussing with Yelu Renxian how to properly deal with Yelu Yixin and his party after dealing with Yelu Yixin. Unexpectedly, the Minister of Justice came to say that people had run away.

"The prison had so many layers of defense, yet someone escaped. Lord Xue, I don't know what to say about your performance as the Minister of Justice."

"It was my negligence. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"That's enough." Yelu Hongji almost laughed out of anger, "There's no one else here, no need to act anymore."

Minister Xue wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was such a cold day and he was jogging all the way. He was really tired and sweating all over. This was just to avoid people noticing his flaws. It was really difficult for him with his old arms and legs.

"Your Majesty, this is to make the performance more realistic."

The expression on Xue Shangshu's face changed freely: "According to your majesty's order, the guards were deliberately relaxed an hour ago, and the criminal Yelu Yixin took advantage of this gap to escape."

"Well, I just received news that the person has been lost."

Minister Xue said, "What should we do? If we don't know where he is, how can we catch all his followers?"

That’s right, Yelu Yixin has remained silent since he was escorted back and has not given any further explanation.

Their purpose is not as simple as killing one person.

Instead, the purpose is to eradicate the power that Yelu Yixin has left in the court. This way, there will be no second Yelu Yixin, or at least no powerful official with all the power in the court will appear in the short term.

"It's okay if he gets lost. There are masters guarding the city gates. It's impossible for him to escape from the city. Under such a strict search, the last place he could hide is the home of his accomplices."

Minister Xue asked, "Who could it be?"

Yelu Renxian: "We can't guess it just by sitting here. Now the bait has been spread out. It depends on who bites the hook."

Yelu Yange came to the study and saw Yelu Yixin, who was supposed to be beheaded, sitting inside. He was so scared that his hands were shaking: "Sir, why are you here?"

Compared with Yelu Yange's panic, Yelu Yixin seemed very calm, and there was no sign at all that he was a fugitive criminal.

"Sir, since you have escaped, why don't you just run away from the city? As long as you are out of Datong Prefecture, you will be free!"

Yelu Yixin looked at Yelu Yange and said, "If I escape from the city, I'm afraid you will be the first person to kill me."

"Sir, I would never dare to do that."

"Okay, that's not necessary. I'm just talking."

Yelu Yixin stood up and walked to the desk, took a pen and quickly wrote a few lines, then folded them up and put them on Yelu Yan Ge's bed. "Send this letter to the palace."

Yelu Yange asked: "Give it to Concubine Hui?"

Yelu Yixin laughed a few times in a sinister way and said, "Give it to the Queen."

Yelu Yange's hand trembled again.

"You'd better take it carefully. This letter has a bearing on my life and death. Of course, it also concerns yours. If I am fine, everyone will be fine."

"Yes, I will take care of it now."

After going out, Yelu Yange came to the front yard and called his confidant, but he did not give out the note in his hand.

He paced back and forth, struggling with his inner thoughts.

I am more curious about the content of the letter.

Yelu Yixin said that the letter was given to the queen. When did he have any connection with the queen? He had been loyal to Yelu Yixin for so many years, but he never knew.

Finally, Yelu Yange couldn't help but opened the letter in his hand, but there was only a simple sentence in the letter: Your Majesty wants to depose the Queen.

This……

With a mind full of questions, Yelu Yange packed the letter and had someone deliver it to the queen in the palace.

Since His Majesty wanted to depose the empress, why did he write to her? What could a queen who was not valued by the emperor do?
After sending the letter away, Yelu Yange came to the study again.

Yelu Yixin looked at him with a half-smile: "Have you read the letter?"

It is a tone of confirmation.

Yelu Yange opened his mouth to refute, but Yelu Yixin said, "It doesn't matter. There is no secret in this letter. Even if the emperor sees it, it doesn't matter."

"Then what is the significance of your writing this letter?"

"I'm hungry."

Once he fell from power, many people wanted him dead. The food in prison could be easily tampered with, so he was very cautious about what he put in his mouth. Therefore, he had barely eaten for such a long time, let alone eating well and having enough food.

"It was my negligence. I will prepare it right away."

Yelu Yixin: "You go there in person? In your mansion, if you go to the kitchen in person, what will others think? The spies in the mansion will know in a quarter of an hour that I am hiding in your mansion. Just give the order through the door."

Yelu Yange smiled awkwardly and said, "Since you are staying in the mansion temporarily, I naturally want to entertain you well, and I didn't think too much about it."

Yelu Yixin glanced at him.

"You personally ordered that I should entertain you well. Until I get a reply from the palace, you will stay with me in the study."

"Just, listen to the adults."

Xiao Guanyin could never have imagined that Yelu Yixin, who escaped from the Tianlao, would actually write a letter to her.

Still two.

One letter said that His Majesty wanted to depose the queen, and the other said that she had an affair with the musician Zhao Weiyi.

Xiao Guanyin angrily slammed the letter on the table, her chest heaving: "This Yelu Yixin has gone crazy and started to make random accusations. This palace and Zhao Leshi are innocent, don't try to throw dirty water on me."

"But Madam, such a thing, even if it is just a rumor, will damage your reputation as long as it spreads. He is already a fugitive, who knows what he will do."

The one who spoke was Lan Qiao, Empress Xiao's trusted palace maid.

"Then take this letter to His Majesty." (End of this chapter)
