Chapter 441 Bad news

Ye Xinyi suddenly thought, "She was so excited just now, she blurted out the word 'Emperor Dog'."

An official family member, who was born in a scholarly family, must know the truth that misfortune comes from his mouth. If he didn't hate to the extreme, how could he utter obscene words?And it was the emperor who was scolding?Of course, it may also be because of Xia Yanfeng's death that Yu's grief and anger were too much for a while, and then the blame was put on Qianhedi's head. Coupled with Qianhedi's suspicion for so many years, she had already harbored hatred in her heart. At this time, He hated it to the extreme, so he couldn't choose what to say for a while.

But Ye Xinyi always felt that something was wrong.

Shen Yue frowned after hearing this, "It seems that I think too much of myself, and I was careless." Before coming to Shuzhong, he thought that he had made all the preparations, but he didn't expect that he still missed it. The most inconspicuous part, but important enough to affect the overall situation, will lead to the current passive situation.

"However, you're right, let's wait! When the news from the capital comes back, and, we really should investigate the Yu family." Shen Yue quickly cheered up.

Seeing that there was light in his eyes again, Ye Xinyi's heart finally dropped most of his throat.

I don't know how long Xia Changhe wants to lock them up, let alone what he can find out. Anyway, Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi both know many things in their minds, so they will be at peace with what comes. Mentality, calm down.

Although Xia Changhe locked them up, he still delivered the food on time, and it looked pretty good.

Shen Yue said that Ye Xinyi would wait for the news with peace of mind, and never doubted where the news would come from when they were locked up here like this.In short, Shen Yue said that if he can receive the news, he will receive the news.

Xia Ting's arrangements were very careful, the guards couldn't even open the doors and windows, they only opened it when the food was delivered, but they closed it immediately after putting the food and tea at the door, Gray Eagle's summons and so on could not be counted on .

But on the morning of the third day, when Ye Xinyi gnawed on the buns, he found a small note from the stuffing.

Ye Xinyi felt nauseous at the moment, the note was already greasy, who had the bad idea to pass the message in the bun stuffing, thanks to her gentle eating, she didn't swallow it.

Shen Yue didn't have so many worries, and he didn't care about the greasy one, so he unfolded the note.

On a small note, it was densely written in small script, thanks to Shen Yue's good eyesight, but Ye Xinyi always felt a little dizzy just looking at it.

Secretly lamenting that Shen Yue's subordinates are also able to come out in large numbers, such a small character is a test of skill, and such a tight defense can also spread the news.

Ye Xinyi's thoughts flew far away for a while, but he was generally not interested in the content of the note, and did not glance at it.

But when Shen Yue's face became more and more ugly, her heart also sank all the way to the bottom, no need to look, no need to ask, it would not be good news.

Sure enough, Shen Yue let go of his hand, and leaned heavily on the table as if he had lost his strength, raised his lacquered eyes, and looked at a certain place in the mid-air with some emptiness, "The small courtyard really caught fire. They got in touch with the scholar at first, agreed on a time, and planned to act that night, but when they arrived at the small courtyard, the courtyard was already on fire, and the flames soaring into the sky were burning red, engulfing the other courtyards nearby. A fire broke out at the same time. They went to see it among the people who made the fire, but the intersections at both ends of the alley were tightly guarded, and they couldn't get in at all. After the fire was extinguished, two charred corpses were carried out from it. .”

two?Ye Xinyi's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to ask. The two hands that were originally placed on the table, twisted and pinched together, were clenched into fists, still trembling slightly.

"My people knew something serious happened, so they hurriedly tried to find out. The assassin really entered the small courtyard that night. When avoiding the assassin, the scholar and Chang Ru were locked in the room, and the door was bolted from the inside. It was all heavily defended. Then suddenly a fire broke out, the fire was too big to get close to, and by the time it was extinguished, there were only two charred corpses left."

When Shen Yue said this, his voice was low and hoarse, and the depths of his lacquered eyes were full of pain.

Ye Xinyi licked his lips lightly, "Since it's a charred corpse, it must have been burnt beyond recognition, so how can we be sure it's them?" Although they were locked in the room when the assassin came, and there were heavy guards around the wing room, With so many pairs of eyes and two living beings, it should be impossible to replace them.But... what if?If it is really Yu Shi's handwriting, is she really going to do such a great job?That's her own son!

"Of course I can't be sure. It's just that the news is tightly sealed, and I can't find out for a while. My people know that Changru was sent to the hospital by you, so I found Xie Ming..."

Ye Xinyi's pupils were constricted, and her nails had already been dug into her palms. She saw her own shadow reflected in the depths of his pupils, pale and restless, but he was in her eyes, why not?
"Xie Ming said...he's sorry for you, but he failed to protect you when you handed it over to someone else. I'm afraid you won't be able to repay what you owe."

Ye Xinyi groaned softly, but in the next moment he gritted his teeth. After a while, unable to say anything, he leaned over and stretched his arms to hug the stiff Shen Yue. He thought there would be good news. It came, but it was still bad news.

In her arms, his whole body was as cold as a rock, as cold as ice. She let her hold him still without speaking or crying, but Ye Xinyi felt even more sad.

Not only because of the bad news, but also because I feel sorry for him at this time.

The tears in his eyes finally couldn't hold back, and burst down the embankment, that's all, Ye Xinyi thought, if he can't cry, let her cry for him!In this way, maybe he will feel better.

Yu Shi was very happy. The news of Xia Yanfeng's death really stimulated Xia Changhe, and he finally started to prepare.Military strength, financial resources, and people's hearts, the Xia family has everything, but the so-called daimyo court has been rotten to the root, internal friction continues, the treasury is empty, and the ruler is fatuous and unreasonable. When the war starts, the Xia family's army will definitely be destroyed. , Go straight to Huanglong, when the time comes, won't she be able to grab what she wants?

Half her life's long-cherished wish has seen the light of day, how can she be unhappy?

Therefore, on the way back to the main courtyard after delivering nourishing soup to Xia Changhe who was still discussing matters with his confidants in the study outside, her steps were uncontrollably brisk, and even the smile on her face was more than usual. The appearance that is just right like a mask is much more splendid.

Entering the room, she raised her eyes and saw Madam Du, her eyes flickered twice, and she glanced back slightly from the corner of her eyes, Dan'er behind her understood, immediately took everyone out, and closed the door.

Immediately, only Mrs. Yu and Madam Du were left in the room.

Yu Shi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said in a calm tone, "Is there any news from the capital?"
