Zhao Shicheng and his wife Tang Wan, who visited Ye's mansion again, were somewhat restrained when facing the mistress of Ye's mansion.

In addition to the fact that Zhong Qing is now Ye Qing's wife, there is another layer of emotion that made the three present feel quite emotional. Back then, Zhong Qing was a princess, and to put it bluntly, he was also a member of the Zhao Song royal family, but now he has become Ye Qing's wife. Such a change in the relationship also made Zhao Shicheng feel quite emotional.

Lin'an City, under the changing times, seems to be no different from that of the past, but everyone knows that the royal family members and nobles in Lin'an finally disappeared one by one in the court struggle, and there are some feelings about the change of things.

Since someone fell down in the court, there will naturally be someone filling the gap. Among the few people who showed their sharp edges in the court, there is naturally Ye Qing, who has gone from being the head of the imperial guards to the current high position in just these few years.

But unlike others, Ye Qing did not occupy or rob the resources of others in the court in the process of reaching such a high position today. Instead, he took a different approach and built himself with the Northern Expedition to resist the Jin Dynasty and recover lost territory from the hands of the Jin people.

But it is precisely because of this that Ye Qing, who is now in a high position, made the court deeply afraid of the power and prestige he now has.

Unlike the threats from other important officials in the court to the court, Ye Qing's influence and threat in the north are directly pointing to the country of the Zhao Song royal family, so... Now that Ye Qing returns to Lin'an, his situation is naturally much more difficult than others.

Zhao Shicheng and Tang Wan and his wife were fighting each other in their mansion, and they were in conflict with each other. Whether to warn them or not, they could even be regarded as Ye Qing, who made the marriage between them.

Even though he was sitting in the hall of the Ye Mansion and facing the mistress of the Ye Mansion, Zhao Shicheng was still a little hesitant. He glanced at Tang Wan, who was talking to Zhong Qing from time to time.

Looking at the dark night outside, Zhong Qing had hoped that before Ye Qing came back, she might as well tell Ye Qing what was wrong with Zhao Shicheng and his wife, but Zhao Shicheng and Tang Wan looked at each other, shook their heads and refused, and planned to wait until Ye Qing came back.

Zhong Qing sighed softly. In fact, it was not necessary for the two of them to say that she knew the purpose of their arrival. Similarly, she was very grateful that the Prince of Xin'an and his wife helped Ye Qing in this subtle moment in Lin'an.

As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely help. At this time, the actions of the Prince of Xin'an naturally made Zhong Qing full of gratitude, but she also knew that in the current situation where she was not very clear about, the two of them could help Ye Qing.

Zhong Can appeared in the front hall, and after watching Zhong Qing nodding at him, he said directly: "Madam, it will take some time for Lord Ye to come back. Now that he has gone to the mansion of Lord Li, the Minister of Justice, I'm afraid he will come back very late..."

"It's okay, we...we and my wife are willing to wait for Lord Ye to come back here." Zhao Shicheng looked at Zhong Qing's gaze and said with a smile immediately.

Tang Wan next to her also nodded, and the two looked like they were married and married.

"Since the prince doesn't mind, then Zhong Qing will accompany the prince and his wife to wait for his husband to come back." Zhong Qing smiled and shook her head, rejecting Zhao Shicheng and his wife's proposal to wait alone.

At this time, Ye Qing's carriage had just stopped in front of Li Lifang's mansion. As he walked along the way, he encountered several groups of patrol guards in the streets and alleys. Although he could not check the carriage of Ye's mansion, he could still feel an extremely tense atmosphere along the way.

When Li Lifang saw Ye Qing, he snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Ye Qing's fooling around for Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang.

"Is this your Li family's way of hospitality?" Ye Qing, wearing a dark blue narrow-sleeved robe, sat down and said lightly without waiting for Li Lifang to ask him to sit down.

"Mr. Ye is not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Why? How do you want to cheat me again this time?" Li Lifang looked at Ye Qing who had followed him and had to sit down next to him with a cold expression.

"It is true that Deng Youlong is your minister of the Ministry of Justice, but he is not your Li Lifang. Do you think that just your little favor can make people devote themselves to you? Compared to the promises made by Han Tuozhou to him, your little favor is not worth mentioning at all. After all, it is because Han Tuozhou is the left prime minister of the dynasty, and you Li Lifang is just a royal relative. Which of the two big trees, you and Han Tuozhou, can Deng Youlong bring a higher career to Deng Youlong? How could Deng Youlong not know?" Ye Qing rarely came to the Li Mansion in recent years. He vaguely felt that the hall where he was sitting here when Li Fengniang was out of the house.

Li Lifang snorted coldly again. Although he was dissatisfied with Ye Qingkeng and made him lose the appearance of Shangshu in front of Deng Youlong, he had to admit that Ye Qing was right. After he learned from the queen that Deng Youlong was indeed Han Tuozhou's confidant, Li Lifang couldn't hate Ye Qing. The reason he did this now was because he couldn't bear it.

After all, he thought he had beaten Ye Qing, but he didn't expect that in the end, he was still fooled by Ye Qing.

"Don't talk nonsense, I will deal with Deng Youlong sooner or later. So what if he is Han Tuozhou's confidant? I, Li Lifang, will I be afraid that he will not succeed?" Li Lifang said impatiently, then turned his head and suddenly asked mysteriously: "Hey, tell me... This time, the imperial guards suddenly broke into a war in the city, and the Donghua Gate and Jiahui Gate strengthened the garrison. Why is this? You are the commander of the Imperial City Division, don't tell me that all this is for the purpose of welcoming the Supreme Emperor back to the palace tomorrow. There must be other reasons, right? Is it someone going to be unlucky again? Could it be Han Tuozhou?"

"It's also possible that it's me." Ye Qing said calmly.

"You..." Li Lifang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "How could it be you Ye Qing? Now you, Ye Qing, have Northland in your hands to help you make chips, and my sister is backing you. The emperor has always treated you well, the prince and you..."

"Why do you talk so much nonsense? Have you been so polite in the court these years?" Ye Qing picked up the teacup, said with some dissatisfaction after tweeting.

Li Lifang didn't care. After looking at the hall, they were the two of them and said, "There are only you and me here."

, What are you afraid of? Since you know you are afraid, what have you done long ago? Who made you provoke my sister so rebelliously? Now you know that you are shameless..."

"The emperor and the queen went to Gushan, and many officials in the court stayed in Lin'an. Isn't this a problem? The emperor tomorrow will return to the palace and pointed out that he would summon me at the platform tomorrow. Today, Jiahui Gate, Donghua Gate and the imperial guards began to move with the matter of the emperor tomorrow returning to the palace. Do you think all this is as simple as it seems?" Ye Qing interrupted Li Lifang again and said.

Li Lifang touched the short beard on his chin and thought, shook his head and pondered: "What you said is that although the Supreme Emperor has not returned to Lin'an for many years, he would not have created such a big formation to return to Lin'an. Moreover, the Supreme Emperor and the Queen are still in Gushan, so he did not hear the explanation that Ri followed him back to the palace together. So, I said that the Supreme Emperor must do something when he returns to Lin'an this time, and someone must be unlucky, but... why do you think you are trying to move you? The court does not have the stability of the north? Why do you want the Jin people to ride on the heads of their royal family again to act as a mighty man?"

Ye Qing leaned against the back of the chair, put down the teacup in his hand and sighed slowly: "Then I don't know. You have to ask the Supreme Emperor about this. Maybe... he thought that now there are King Qing Zhao Kai and Duke Chongguo Zhao Shichun in the north, so he can withstand the Jin people's going south."

"Fart! It's pure nonsense! Just the Zhao Song clan members, all of whom have inherited the cowardice and fear of trouble. They can do nothing, and they still expect them to resist the Jin people?" Li Lifang looked sarcastic and smiled: "If they could all take on the great responsibilities to resist the Jin people, then the clan members would not have taken the ministers and generals to Lin'an to avoid disaster like a dog that was a loser. Emperor Gaozong was forced by the Jin people to dare not come down on the boat, and was always ready to go abroad. If there weren't any such powerful general as Yue Fei, the Song Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago, and the clan members would have remembered to eat but not beat them. After healed the scar, they forgot to hurt. If the general trend is just a little beneficial to their clan members, they will be dismissed. This is simply a full meal and will not survive!"

"It's not to dismiss me, but to kill me." Ye Qing looked at Li Lifang, who was full of indignation, and continued to say calmly: "My people are now unable to enter outside the city. The imperial guards have almost blocked the city. On the surface, they are to welcome the emperor to return to the palace tomorrow, but in fact they are to prevent my people from entering the city. And Jiahui Gate, Donghua Gate, has been stationed by Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou in the Guards' Office and the confidant of the Palace Front Office over the years. In other words, for me, Lin'an is a net of heaven and earth."

"Then why are you doing in my house? Don't pull me as a cushion at this time. Since my sister can't save you, can you still count on me?" Li Lifang looked at Ye Qing and hurriedly avoided the other side, as if he wanted to draw a clear line with Ye Qing. Then he thought for a while and asked, "No, since you said that the Supreme Emperor of Ri summoned you to the palace to click the general platform. Do you not know what the general platform is? Could it be that you were thinking too much? Or... You might as well not go to the order? Anyway, Ye Qing's resistance to the order is common, and the royal family probably got used to it."

"For others, it may be a promotion or a reuse, but for me, Ye Qing, it has a very special meaning. It was the starting point of my career back then, and it was the first place where I accepted Emperor Gaozong's first mission. So the Supreme Emperor chose where I, Ye Qing, would be destroyed from where I rose from. As for the opposition... that would only involve my wife and children. So I have to go to this trip to the palace tomorrow, and there was no way out." Ye Qing's expression was still calm. In Li Lifang's eyes, he didn't look like a person who planned to surrender.

Li Lifang looked at Ye Qing with a calm expression without saying a word, and felt that Ye Qing didn't look like he was in trouble, but more like a confident attitude.

The two were silent for a moment, and Li Lifang's expression became serious at this moment, and he sighed and said, "I, Li Lifang, originally planned to rely on you, Ye Qing, to be a blessing in Lin'an in the future. Now it seems that there is really no food in this world. There must be some price for anything. Are you sure you can survive tomorrow?"

Looking at Ye Qing looking at him in confusion, Li Lifang hurriedly explained: "What I mean... I mean I have to think about the pros and cons, right? I don't need to hide it from you, and I will just say something. If you have a glimmer of hope tomorrow, then if I can help, I, Li Lifang, will definitely do my best. But if you don't have any chance to escape tomorrow, I will not participate in this matter and protect myself."

Of course, Li Lifang did not tell the current even more embarrassing situation. After all, although the emperor and the queen are now in Gushan, it is impossible to know nothing about what is happening in Lin'an City, right?

So since the Empress and the Emperor have no movement, then... to put it bluntly, it means that the Emperor's actions of returning to Lin'an tomorrow are equivalent to the Emperor's defeat of Ye Qing being killed at the General Station, so there is no need for him to participate in this matter.

Moreover, he was also very clear about the mentality of the queen Li Fengniang. Over the years, as the prince grew up day by day, Li Fengniang's inner worries increased day by day. If Ye Qing was not in Lin'an, he would not be upset, but if Ye Qing was in Lin'an or had been alive, it would always be a future for the queen.

But if his elder sister had no feelings for Ye Qing, it would be a purely lie. He knew more than anyone else how heavy the queen had for Ye Qing. Otherwise, she would not have been entangled until now and could not make up her mind to kill Ye Qing.

Just like this time, when a man ran to Gushan, it seemed that he was transferred from the mountain to Gushan by the Supreme Emperor, but it was also a helpless act of Li Fengniang to let fate.

Ye Qing has passed tomorrow and is still alive. Li Fengniang will also drive Ye Qing out of Lin'an again to the north. If he dies tomorrow... Li Lifang dares to pat his chest and promise that those who participate in the design and frame Ye Qing will not be able to escape the revenge of Li Fengniang to them in the future.

Li Fengniang is a capricious and almost crazy woman. She loves someone unforgettable, but her obsession with power also makes her unable to extricate herself. Rights and feelings are extremely important in Li Fengniang's heart. But how can you have both fish and bear's paws?

Li Lifang also has his own thoughts in his heart, that is him

He has always been quite confident in Ye Qing and admired Ye Qing's achievements in the Northland. Therefore, to a large extent, he still doesn't believe that tomorrow will be Ye Qing's death.

"To be honest, I don't know if I can still come out of the palace alive tomorrow." Ye Qingbao smiled bitterly. He really didn't have much confidence in what happened tomorrow.

When he was in the north, he knew that this trip to Lin'an would never have been so easy, so he brought eight thousand Hua family troops, because he knew that the Supreme Emperor must have made full preparations in Lin'an.

But no matter what, he was too underestimated by the enemy in the end or was deceived by the Supreme Emperor. Of course, this was not because he was too stupid, but because he did not take any initiative. Moreover, Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou were already eyeing everything he had in the north. It was much easier for them to join forces with the Supreme Emperor to deal with him than to get apart from them.

Before he could completely alienate the invisible alliance between the three of them, the Supreme Emperor could not wait to take action and did not give him a chance to continue to disagree.

So now it seems that Han Tuozhou sent Deng Youlong to capture Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang, which seemed to give him a chance to alienate them, but it is also very likely that it was a flaw they deliberately exposed, which made him Ye Qing think that he had an opportunity to take advantage of, so he relaxed his vigilance.

"Then... then you came here tonight... you wouldn't be saying goodbye to me..., right?" Li Lifang didn't know why he suddenly said something like this.

"Give your best to do your best and do what you do. As for the rest, leave it to God's will." Ye Qing smiled calmly, then reached out to his arms, took out a list of documents and pushed them to Li Lifang next to him, and said, "You are the Minister of Justice, and only you can help with this."

Li Lifang looked at Ye Qing's actions, and his first reaction was to wonder, could this... be Ye Qing's suicide note? But when he opened it, he looked at the densely packed and list of people, and asked with some difficulty: "What is this?"

"The Imperial City Office has been idle all the time when I was not in Lin'an. Some of the people above are in Lin'an, and some follow the emperor. The queen went to Gushan. I marked them in the red circle in Lin'an, so... I would like to ask you to do me a favor, that is, after midnight tonight, they will be arrested in the name of the Ministry of Justice..."

"You want to fill the prison of the Ministry of Justice? Besides, there are so many people, and the staff of the Ministry of Justice are not enough..." Li Lifang widened his eyes: "Besides, what crimes have they all committed?"

"Of course it is not the Ministry of Justice Prison, but they are sent to the Dali Temple Prison. As for what crimes have been committed, the Imperial City Division has evidence of each of them, and it is guaranteed to be true. The people from the Imperial City Division will also help you the Ministry of Justice..." Ye Qing looked at Li Lifang and said with a serious expression.

"I... I met yours again after Dali Temple. Why don't you let him go? Besides, Dali Temple should have come forward. If you asked me to offend so many people, I... how can I stay in Lin'an in the future..." As if it was very hot, Li Lifang hurriedly returned the list document to Ye Qing.

"Bi Zai went to Gushan. What he wanted to do was tell those people that Dali Temple had their guilt. What you want to help me was to tell these people that the Ministry of Justice had their evidence. Of course, it was impossible to arrest them all in the prison. According to my guess, there must be death and no recognition. Most of those people were Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou's confidant members, and the others might plead guilty on the spot. So what I want is to give them a night to think about how to go to the palace to plead for me tomorrow." Ye Qing pushed the list to Li Lifang again.

This time, Li Lifang was not as afraid of this list as before. Looking at the list, he looked at Ye Qing again, and suddenly realized: "What do you mean... Bi Dali Temple met someone else in Gushan and threatened others to threaten you in Gushan, and pleaded for you in front of the emperor and the queen? And I, Li Lifang, threatened these officials who did not go to Gushan in Lin'an City, and pleaded for you in front of the Supreme Emperor of the Palace tomorrow?"

"Yes, that's what it means. There is no way to do this. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to offend so many officials." Ye Qing spread his hands and said helplessly.

"I..." Li Lifang was so angry that he wanted to curse people. Ye Qing was so bad. Yes, this was indeed a good way to save him.

Of course, he also believed that this was only part of Ye Qing's self-rescue plan. But it was just Ye Qing's doing things like this was too despicable and shameless!

"I'm so badly offending so many officials in Lin'an City for you, and then once you walk out of the palace safely tomorrow, pat your butt and go back to your north, leaving these messes... Ye Qing, you... are you too despicable? Let me take such a big blame for you!" Li Lifang stood up angrily, pointing at Ye Qing's nose and cursing angrily!

"Think about it, once the prince ascended the throne as the emperor and empress... Forget it, if you point at my nose and scold me today, I won't be bothering you. It's getting late, and I'll go to Xie Shenfu and talk to him about his son's life and death. Stay there, no need to send him off."

"I'll give it to you sister, I... I won't go!" Li Lifang jumped up in anger and cursed at Ye Qing's tall back.

"Don't go?" Ye Qing stopped, turned around, looked at Li Lifang with a white teeth and smiled, "Almost all the officials who stayed in Lin'an have a big or small connection with tomorrow's affairs. Even if you want to keep it alone, your prestige in Lin'an and prestige in the court will go downhill day by day. In Lin'an, let alone in the court, no one will take you seriously even on the streets. And your Minister of Justice will be sent to Deng Youlong as soon as tomorrow passes. Even if the queen wants to help you, how can she overcome the joint efforts of Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou?"

"You... are extremely shameless! Deng Youlong, you bastard, you do anything to make the position of Minister of Justice..."

"Deng Youlong is in Gushan, don't worry, he will be arrested in the Dali Temple prison tomorrow. As long as you work harder tonight, you will be fine." Ye Qing nodded with a smile, ignoring Li Lifang's angry scolding behind him, and walked out quickly with Tao Qian.
Chapter completed!
