Mrs. Cheng is not old, and she is probably less than fifty years old this year, but her face is full of wrinkles, and she still looks old.

Ye Lin and the Cheng family had no interaction, so they were not sure about their family's situation. Only Gao, only she knew that the wrinkles on her mother-in-law's face were born suddenly in the past few days.

"What should come will always come..." Mrs. Cheng sighed in despair.

Ye Lin said with a tense face: "Mrs. Cheng also knows that the whole family is involved. Why didn't you persuade General Cheng earlier?"

Mrs. Cheng smiled bitterly: "Even if I persuaded me, Ye'er must listen. Old Cheng tried his best to stop this matter, but Ye'er insisted on doing it alone and even tied up Old Cheng. The Cheng family made such a rebellious son, and it was really worthy of the trust of the late emperor."

Ye Lin felt a little sympathetic to Mrs. Cheng. He was unable to live a long life in his old age and was involved in his son. However, sympathy is sympathy, but legal principles still need to be maintained and adhered to.

"Old lady, please." Ye Lin looked at her, still polite.

She put down the teacup and stood up tremblingly on the table. Gao wanted to help her, but she refused: "No! Just take care of the child."

Gao retracted his hand and looked at his mother-in-law with some concern. Mrs. Cheng walked forward two steps, and said to the point of a grief: "I have no way to teach my son, so this is the result. I have no face to survive. I will pay my life to the court!"

After saying that, she suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden between her sleeves and stabbed into her chest without hesitation!

"Lady Cheng!" Ye Lin shouted, but in the end he could not stop the old lady of the Cheng family from committing suicide. The dagger quickly stabbed her heart steadily. After all, she was already old. When Mrs. Cheng fell to the ground, her breathing was disordered and weak, and a large area of ​​blood stained her clothes red.

Gao was frightened and rushed down, crying and shouting.

The child was also scared and cried loudly. He was still so young that he didn't know what had happened, let alone his grandmother would die. He was just frightened by everything that happened suddenly.

Ye Lin looked at the old lady of the Cheng family and finally couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly asked someone to invite the doctor.

"Mom-in-law!" Gao held the hand of the old lady of the Cheng family and burst into tears.

Cheng Ye was unrighteous and involved her mother and son, but her mother-in-law was good to her and was kind to her children. Gao also knew that she could not escape this time, but she never expected that her mother-in-law would die generously.

The old lady of the Cheng family held Gao's hand and stared at her, saying cruelly: "You promised me that you must take good care of the children! If possible, I hope the incense of the Cheng family will not be cut off. Although I know, this is my delusion..."

Gao couldn't cry and shook his head desperately. He was already a crying person.

Mrs. Cheng knew that her daughter-in-law could not make the decision, so she had to look at King Yu with hope. Unexpectedly, he could only shake his head. Ye Lin said nothing. Whether Gao and the child could live depends on whether Cheng Ye had a conscience.

If they did not cause a big impact, they would still survive if they were demoted to sinners or exiled to the border town. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the whole family to be killed in half.

The old lady of the Cheng family was blindfolded with despair, and tears came from her eyes. She said, "I atone for death and beg your highness to take care of them, mother and son, please..."

Not long after the words were finished, tears had not yet fallen on his face, and the old lady of the Cheng family stopped moving.

Gao burst into tears, feeling sad and moved. When the child saw his mother crying, he also cried loudly, but he couldn't stop him.

Ye Lin's eyes were slightly dark, and his face felt unbearable. But even so, he could not save Mrs. Cheng's life.

The Imperial Guard hurried to the hospital with the doctor who was closest to him.

The doctor didn't know what the person in the hall was, and only knew that the injury was the most serious. He broke away from the Imperial Guard's hand and immediately stepped forward to take his pulse. But in the end, he could only shake his head: "The person is already exhausted."

When Gao heard this, his tears turned like a faucet that had turned on the gate.

Ye Lin was silent for a moment and had to say, "Burn the old lady with great burial. Please take Mrs. Cheng and the young master away, take good care of him, and do not be rude."

The Imperial Guard should have pulled away the bodies of Gao and Mrs. Cheng. Gao was in pain and wanted to fight back, but the two strong Imperial Guards almost couldn't hold her back.

In the end, Gao and the children were taken away. A group of servants from the general's mansion were also taken away and detained.

Sighing silently, not knowing if what I did was right.

He also felt compassion, but he knew even more that everything Cheng Ye did would endanger more families. There would be sacrifices when fighting, and countless families would lose their sons, husbands and fathers.

Ye Lin sympathized with Mrs. Cheng and Gao, but this was just sympathy. Once Cheng Ye made a scene and countless soldiers died in battle, who would sympathize with the families of the martyrs?

Ye Lin was silent and ordered people to enthrone the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Guard, and there were already a large number of people watching. When he saw a young man in black robe walking out with a calm face, he was extremely imposing and as heavy as water. At first glance, he was a noble young man in the noble family.

Someone was curious and asked the guards' imperial guards and said, "What happened to this general's mansion?"

"It's the New Year approaching, why did something suddenly happen to the General's Mansion?"

"What a crime I have committed? I have sent so many officers and soldiers to search the house. Could it be..."

Ye Lin's eyes swept towards the whispering people. He had no intention of revealing the rebels to avoid panic in the people, so he had to say in a deep voice: "It's all gone."

The Imperial Guard dispersed the onlookers, but could not stop their curious discussion and attention. When many people left, they looked back and looked around from time to time. It was just that due to the solemn Imperial Guard, they did not dare to stay longer.

"Your Highness, you have cleaned it up, no one is missing."

Ye Lin nodded and ordered: "Put the seal and leave a few people to guard it. Once a suspicious person appears, take it down immediately! I will return to the palace and report it now."

The Imperial Guard responded.

Ye Lin entered the palace and walked towards the imperial study room. When he arrived outside the hall, the door of the hall was closed. Ye Lin raised his brow and ordered the eunuch, "I will report it to you, I am here to report it."

The eunuch laughed and explained, "Go back to Your Highness, Mr. Xiao is in the hall, and Mr. Xiao is discussing important matters with Mr. Xiao. You may have to wait for a while."

Ye Lin rolled his eyes and asked again: "How long has Mr. Xiao been in?"

The eunuch replied: "It's just about a quarter of an hour. Maybe it's not that soon."

Ye Lin knew it naturally. He deliberately showed an unhappy look and said, "Then I will leave first. Please tell me that my father-in-law will convey the king's brother to me, and I will say that the matter is done."

The eunuch hurriedly responded. When Xiao Hou left, he came in and reported to Guangxi, saying that His Highness Yu was a little unhappy.

Guangxi just responded. He, the king, had a temperament and his thoughts were not hidden just now, so he was not happy.
