She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 473 Unexpected Discovery
"Who is it?" There was a sound outside the door, and Ye Xuwan immediately stood up and looked outside.

When she saw the person coming, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes. The maid beside Qin Yuyan was also an elder of the Ye family.

"Second Miss?" The maid asked in surprise, and then immediately shouted, "Second Miss, it's not the day of sacrifice yet and you are kneeling here. This is not in accordance with the rules."

What's more, female family members rarely enter the ancestral hall to kowtow, so wouldn't she be breaking the rules of the Ye family by doing so?

"Mammy, this is the Ye family. I can do whatever I want." Seeing that she was about to complain, Ye Xuwan grabbed her hand.

The nanny was old, so her strength was naturally not as strong as Ye Xuwan's, so she was held tightly by her.

"Your Highness the Crown...Prince." Mo Yunzheng walked in from outside, and the frightened nanny immediately knelt on the ground.

Although her eyesight was blurry due to old age, she could still tell who was the distinguished guest of the Ye family.

"I don't want to alarm Lord Ye." He spoke slowly. If this nanny was not honest, she would be punished.

Ye Xuwan frowned. Qin Yuyan was already dead, but this nanny had not been implicated. She was Qin Yuyan's right-hand woman, and she must have done a lot of wrong things in the past.

"Do you know what Qin Yuyan did?" She spoke slowly. She didn't know the details yet, but it would be great if she could learn from the person in front of her.

The nanny immediately shook her head, "Your Highness, how could an old nanny like me know all this?"

Ye Xuwan knew clearly that she wanted to sever her ties with Qin Yuyan, but since they were together in everything, it was not so easy to sever the ties.

"Qin Yuyan is dead. I will arrange a place for you for Lord Ye." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. Naturally, this nanny was also involved.

How could a person who had done so many evil things continue to live well in this world? She was the first one who could not tolerate it.

The nanny nodded quickly, feeling mixed emotions as she watched Ye Xuwan leave.

The mistress tried her best to get rid of her but failed. Now that the mistress is dead, she, an old maid, is afraid that she will not have a good end.

"How does Wan'er plan to deal with her?" This message must naturally be passed on in the name of the prince, so that Ye Qingshu can pay more attention to the matter.

"Send her to the farm and let her live out the rest of her life there." The farm is mainly occupied by laborers, who do rough work, so this nanny should suffer a little.

Being a maid in the Ye family was considered a smooth life. If she could get a manager position early, she could enjoy the rest of her life.

What people pursue throughout their lives is not just an ordinary life.

The carriage stopped by the river. Mo Yunzheng took her hand and walked down from the carriage. The two of them sat by the river and looked at the scenery in front of them. It seemed like a peaceful time.

Suddenly, a dead body floated on the river, and Ye Xuwan immediately went forward to check.

"There's a dead person." She spoke immediately, and Mo Yunzheng beside her also frowned immediately.

There are quite a few villages near this river. If this person had died of old age, his family would have taken care of him. However, this person looked to be only middle-aged, but his body was floating on the river. This should not be a simple matter.

If it is a murder crime, the government should step in to deal with it. Why would they just let the body float here?

"Let's find out how many families live around here." They were in the middle of the river, and they still needed to check how far upstream they were.

The first thing to do is to find out the identity of this person, which village he is from, and the cause of his death. The secret guard immediately disappeared in front of the two people, and the groom helped to drag the body out of the river.

"He was hit to death." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. The body was face down, and she could see the big hole on the back of the head. It seemed that the person who did it really wanted to kill him.

Mo Yunzheng immediately squatted down to check, and sure enough, it was not what she said. This person was hit to death by a sharp weapon.

"Report to the authorities. You are the prince, and it is inappropriate for you to interfere in this matter." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. The local officials will investigate the matter and handle it.

It would be unacceptable for him, a prince, to take over the job of the government office. Moreover, many eyes were watching him in the court, so he did not dare to interfere in other matters.

Just as Mo Yunzheng was about to ask someone to report to the police, he looked down and saw the pattern on the wrist of the corpse.

His expression changed immediately, and then he looked at her a few more times.

"What is this?" Ye Xuwan frowned. Why was he so concerned about a pattern? Could it be that this pattern had other meanings?
Mo Yunzheng would rather think that he was dazzled and saw it wrong. He hoped to see such patterns again.

"This is a pattern unique to the Barbarians. This person should have a high status among the Barbarians."

But it happened that a person of status died here, which is only a few dozen miles away from the imperial city.

He decided to bring her here because he saw the beautiful scenery here occasionally. There were not many people passing by here, and there would be no trouble if they played here. However, they never expected to meet barbarians here.

"Is someone going to rebel?" Ye Xuwan spoke up immediately. The barbarians lived on the border, but someone died here. Doesn't that mean they have already sneaked in and are slowly approaching the imperial city?

She was shocked, it seemed that Mo Qingsong was going to take action.

But this is just her guess, and she needs to confirm whether it is true or not.

"Mo Qingsong colluded with the barbarians to rebel, which is a capital crime." Ye Xuwan spoke in a low voice with a hint of uneasiness on her face. Her intuition told her that the imperial city might not be peaceful this time.

Mo Qingsong has not been seen in the palace these days. Could it be that he is secretly colluding with the barbarians to rebel?

"He has private soldiers." Mo Yunzheng spoke slowly. He didn't know the exact number, but he knew that the number was not small.

The money embezzled by the officials under him was all used by him. There was really no other place to go for so much money except to support the army.

Maintaining an army and purchasing weapons require a lot of money.

"Should we tell His Majesty about this first?" Ye Xuwan spoke immediately. The identity of this barbarian might not be hidden.

The people in the government office will definitely be able to find out this person's identity, but doing so will only alert the enemy.

"This matter must be carried out secretly, and Mo Qingsong must not be alerted. However, since a barbarian has died, they should also be careful during this period of time." An investigation at this moment will definitely not yield any results.

The trip ended quickly. Fortunately, Ye Xuwan stayed at the Ye family for some time, so she did not arouse suspicion when she returned to the palace.

"Your Highness, why are you back so soon?" Hua Ying brought her some water for washing. She didn't go with them because she didn't want to disturb the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess from being alone together.

"I'm a little tired." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. The situation outside was not peaceful, so it would be better for her to go out less.
