Chapter 593
When An Guohou heard this, his expression was beyond shock. Since Qi Ye said so, it was true. Princess Rita survived last night and was rescued by someone. That person was Li Yushan.

"My lord, but, what's going on here?" An Guohou couldn't help asking, he really couldn't figure out how Li Yushan sneaked in last night and rescued Princess Rita. How did he know that the Hou Mansion was on fire?

Qi Ye saw clearly the doubts in his eyes, and immediately explained lightly: "Master Hou, there is one thing that you probably don't know yet, that Li Yushan and Princess Rita have long been hiding in the dark. The fire last night was caused by Li Yushan. It was released by Yushan, while Ben Wang caught him outside the city yesterday, he also seized several large carriages, gold and silver belongings that he stole from the Hou Mansion, and Lord Hou will know if it belongs to the Hou Mansion after he counts it."

At this point, Qi Ye has already said everything that needs to be said, and the rest depends on how much An Guohou understands.

Sure enough, when An Guohou heard this, his face was first shocked and disbelieving, followed by great anger.

"My lord, what do you mean to say that the fire that burned my son to death last night was conspired by Li Yushan and Princess Rita? The purpose was to take revenge on our Marquis of An Guo?" An Guohou asked with a trembling voice.

"The specific matter depends on the result of the interrogation, but it is almost the same." Qi Ye replied lightly.

Hearing this, An Guohou understood in his heart that this was the case. He stood there, trembling with anger, his teeth clucking loudly: "My lord, I am going to the palace to meet the emperor! Princess Rita He actually conspired with an adulterer and harmed Benhou's family, and Benhou is going to find Princess Rita to fight for his life!" After speaking, he walked out in big strides.

"Master Hou, wait a moment!" Qi Ye hurriedly called out, "I came here today to appease the prince under the order of my father! This matter is my own decision, and I will never treat you badly." This is the Hou Mansion, the prince should not enter the palace in a hurry."

"Why is this? Why doesn't the emperor want to see me?" Hearing this, An Guohou immediately stopped in his tracks.

Qi Ye said indifferently: "Princess Rita's matter is not just a family matter of the Hou family, he also involves our two countries, Daqi and Bianmu, and my father is having a headache now, so please don't bother my father in the past." After all, there is this king here, and I will definitely give you justice to the Marquis!"

When An Guohou heard this, he felt a little relieved. Since the emperor sent Qi Ye to deal with this matter, it proved that he did not attach great importance to this matter. Rong Wang Qi Ye is not someone who can be invited by anyone. .Immediately he sighed and said, "Thank you so much, my lord!"

"You are welcome, Lord Hou. Regarding the matter of your son's death, I would like to express my deep apologies to you on behalf of the emperor. I will not say more about those illusory polite words. In short, I will try my best to find out the truth of this matter. Let your son's soul rest in peace." Qi Ye said slowly.

Hearing this, An Guohou immediately thought of Qin Xiaolai, and his face was filled with pain. He was about to say something else to break the heavy atmosphere, but at this moment, there were a few servants not far away. Step over.

"Master Hou, we searched all over the Hou Mansion, but we didn't find that maid named Dongqing, not even the corpse!" After several people greeted Ann, a young servant walking in the front said. : "That holly seems to have evaporated from the world!"

Hearing this, An Guohou immediately turned his eyes to the burned faceless female corpse in the coffin beside him, his eyes were full of resentment, he waved his hands and told the servants to retreat: "Okay, I Understood, you all retreat! You don’t need to look for it anymore.”

"Yes! My lord!" Although the servants didn't know why, they still retreated respectfully.

Only then did An Guohou turn his gaze to Qi Ye: "My lord, the female corpse lying in this coffin must be Dongqing!"

Qi Ye nodded.

"But why did Li Yushan do this? What good does it do him?" An Guohou said in great puzzlement: "Just for a blind and disfigured woman, he actually spent so much trouble!"

"That's the son of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and what he does will not benefit Da Qi." Qi Ye said slowly.No matter what Li Yushan's purpose was, but after this incident happened, the emperor was quite troubled, so his purpose was achieved.

Can the person who can cause headaches for the current emperor be a simple person?
But fortunately, this person has been caught by him and thrown into the big prison, and he can no longer make trouble.

When An Guohou heard this, he immediately sighed deeply.Whatever matter, as long as it has something to do with national affairs, it's not just their family's business.

On this day, Qi Ye comforted the heartbroken Marquis Anguo in the Mansion of Marquis Anguo, and brought the body of Dongqing, who was pretending to be Princess Rita, back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After investigating for a while, he finally took An Guohou to the Criminal Ministry to see the carts of gold and silver property he had seized last night.

"My lord! This belongs to our family!" An Guohou looked at the belongings one by one, and his eyes immediately turned red: "This unicorn jade was given to Mrs. Benhou by the queen mother last year, and the Ruyi jade was given by the queen this summer. ..." He eloquently told the origins and names of many things present.

Qi Ye stood aside, seeing the excited expression of An Guohou, and immediately reached out and casually took a lotus candlestick carved from jade. Looking at the bottom, it really had the seal of An Guohou's mansion.This is the case for all the big families in the capital. The bottom of the things they use will be engraved with their own seal.These things are indeed from the Marquis of An Guo.

Qi Ye immediately put the candlestick back, and said to An Guohou: "Master Hou, these are all belongings of your family, I believe it."

Hearing this, Marquis An Guo stopped talking immediately, and said to Qi Ye, "My lord! With Princess Rita testifying with these things, it can completely prove that the fire last night was set by Li Yushan! I beg your lord to report to the emperor as soon as possible. This matter, give my Hou Fu justice!"

"Naturally." Qi Ye nodded slowly, and said, "Master Hou, your mansion has been burned down, and this king will inform Father as soon as possible to rebuild the house for you."

"I don't dare to bother the emperor with this, I am still capable of doing this." An Guohou said with a desolate smile.

A big fire yesterday burned almost everything in the Hou's mansion. An Guohou only cared about saving people, so how could he care about it?Now, all he has left is the jewels and finances that Qi Ye snatched from Li Yushan.These things are still in the criminal department, and it will take some time for him to bring them home.An Guohou said that he has the ability to rebuild the Hou Mansion, but that is just a polite remark.

Qi Ye also knew what he was thinking, and immediately said: "Master Hou, you don't need to say too much, I will definitely tell my father about this matter, you just need to wait patiently at home for a few days." After a pause, he asked hesitantly: "Master Hou, when I just came here, I seemed to see that you were hiding something from my wife?"

An Guohou nodded in pain, and said: "Yes, Xiao Er passed away, and I haven't dared to tell her about it yet." As he spoke, his face ached.

Qi Ye didn't mean to expose his scars, and immediately said: "Master Hou, please forgive me, you can't keep the matter of the death of the son from her all the time, and besides, the son must be buried anyway."

The burial of his son is such a big event, how can An Guohou hide it from his wife?

But it is also impossible to prevent Qin Xiao from entering the soil.

Marquis An Guo hadn't had time to think about this question until now when he heard what Qi Ye said, he finally realized that, yes, the weather is getting hotter now, and he must bury his son as soon as possible!Otherwise, the body might be destroyed.

"What the prince said is true!" An Guohou said quickly, but as soon as he finished speaking, a deep sadness appeared on his face. How can we hide this matter from my wife?She loves Qin Xiao so much, it only took a day, and the whole person is a little distracted, if it takes a long time...

An Guohou didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

Seeing him like this, Qi Ye felt deeply moved in his heart. He was not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but at this moment he couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, you should keep this matter from Madam for now! The other son You can also choose a date for the burial, and on that day, the king will ask the queen mother to issue an imperial decree to declare the lady to enter the palace, so it can be regarded as hiding it from her."

Hearing this, An Guohou was overjoyed: "If this is the case, it would be great! Thank you, my lord!"

"If you have chosen a date, let someone go to the palace to inform me! In addition, everyone in the palace must not wear white gauze. If it is in the mourning hall, you can do it according to your lord's discretion. In short, don't let your wife find it. Otherwise, we will bother to hide all this. , but all previous efforts have been wasted." Qi Ye stood up after speaking.

An Guohou Yilin hurriedly said: "I understand!"

Qi Ye nodded, and said: "Okay, Lord Hou stay here, I'm taking my leave." After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Marquis An Guo hurriedly followed him out, and Qi Ye waved his hands and forced him to go back: "Master Hou, go and appease Madam! Try not to make her suspicious in the past two days."

When An Guohou heard the words, he had no choice but to stand still.After watching Qi Ye leave, he turned around and went to the courtyard where Madam An Guohou lived.

Besides, Qi Ye, he left the An Guohou's mansion, but did not enter the palace, but returned directly to Rong Wang's mansion.

Su Xiyun is sewing some cute toys for her future nephew in the room. The room is full of cut-out cloth heads and a lot of snow-white cotton. So she didn't bother to do it, anyway, the third lady had already sewed no less than a hundred sets of clothes for Su Qianyun's children in Baiyun Nunnery.It's okay if she doesn't.

When Qi Ye came in from the outside, what he saw was the lovely figure of Su Xiyun who was struggling with her needlework. She was wearing a lotus-colored uniform, her hair was simply combed to one side, without a hairpin, and there was a long hair on the back of her head. The waterfall-like hair hangs straight down. This look is lazy and charming, but there is a small piece of cotton stained on the tip of the nose. It looks very funny. Qi Ye stood there and laughed unkindly.

Su Xiyun immediately turned her head when she heard the laughter, and when she saw Qi Ye, a smile burst out from the corner of her mouth: "Come and see the puppet I made!"
