Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 410: Involvement (Update )
The carriage stopped in front of Ye Mansion.

The snow had stopped by now, and the servant had already cleared the snow in front of the door.

Seeing the familiar carriage, they were already used to it and saluted respectfully.

The Dingbei Marquis' Mansion had close relations with theirs, and it was not the first time that the Crown Prince had sent the Second Young Miss back, so no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Ye Chutang got off the carriage and said goodbye to Shen Yanchuan.

"The roads are slippery in the snow, so be careful on your way, Prince."

Shen Yanchuan nodded slightly, lowered the curtain, and the carriage gradually drove away.

Ye Chutang turned around and went back home. When he arrived at the courtyard, he realized that he was still holding Shen Yanchuan's heater in his hand.

...Forget it, it’s not too late to return it to him when I have time another day.

Walking along the corridor, the maid saw her coming back and hurriedly opened the curtain to welcome her.

"Second Miss, you are back!"

In the morning, the second young lady said she wanted to go out alone and didn't let anyone follow her. But it snowed and the weather was so cold. It would be bad if she caught a cold.

Ye Chutang stepped into the house and felt warmth all over.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise: "You made a charcoal fire in this room?"

"Yes. The Third Master specifically asked me to light the stove today because it's cold and gloomy, so I won't be cold when you come back."

That's no surprise.

Ayan is always careful and thoughtful in doing things, and he can handle even small matters like this properly.

Ye Chutang put down the heater in his hand, his fingertips still faintly red, like a thin layer of rouge on white jade.

She said, "Bring me some pen and ink."

……

A few days passed by.

After the snow, the weather in the capital became colder.

However, beneath the seemingly calm surface, countless undercurrents are surging.

Several court officials jointly impeached and reported Xu Jie, and Xu Jie was investigated. The provincial governor who was still in a high position last month became a prisoner in the blink of an eye.

Pulling out the carrot brings out the mud, this case involves a wide range of people, and everyone is in danger for a while. Everyone knows that the emperor is angry now, and at this time, even the slightest mistake may put oneself in trouble.

The gates of the Prince of Qi's mansion were closed, as if things had returned to the time when the Prince of Qi was under house arrest.

However, unlike the troubled Xiao Chengxuan, Xiao Chengqi, who was injured and recuperating, happened to avoid these storms and lived at ease in the mansion.

In the study, Xie Anbai looked Xiao Chengqi up and down twice.

"No, you're really not worried about the poison? What if the people you send over can't find the antidote? Your arm will be useless!"

If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to accept, let alone the Third Prince who has a noble status.

Xiao Chengqi smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble. I think it's not difficult to find an antidote. Just wait."

Xie Anbai clicked his tongue, leaned back in his chair, and fanned himself with one hand.

"You are all so relaxed. None of you take your own lives seriously. With all the unrest outside, you are the only ones who have the leisure to drink tea."

Of course Xiao Chengqi knew who he was talking about.

"Oh? The prince is also free?"

After Xie Anbai learned what happened at the court meeting that day, he immediately went to the Prince's Mansion.

He originally thought that Shen Yanchuan must be very busy, but he turned out to be just tasting wine.

Xie Anbai was in a hurry, but before he even sat down on the chair, he was driven out by Shen Yanchuan with just one word.

"No place for you."

Xie Anbai ran away in anger and came here.

As a result, Xiao Chengqi had his arm bandaged, but he didn't look anxious at all.

"Isn't it normal for him to be idle?"

There are indeed very few things that can make Shen Yanchuan care on weekdays.

"With the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, why would he bother?"

Xiao Chengqi raised his eyebrows and gave a subtle smile.

"Oh? I thought that since this matter involved Ye Zheng, he would definitely investigate it himself."
