He personally sent Ye Qing out of Gushan, Guan Li almost trotted back to Chonghua Palace. At this time, Zhao Xing was still sitting in the position he was just now, as if he had never moved.

"Go back to the Supreme Emperor, I have found out clearly. Ye Qing plans to stay in the Yan family courtyard for one day and return to Lin'an tomorrow." Guan Li stood not far away and said respectfully to Zhao Xing.

"Then are you ready?" Zhao Xing put down the teacup and raised his eyes, as if he was murderous intent.

"Go back to the Supreme Emperor, I have prepared, a total of 74 people." Guan Li said calmly.

"Don't let me down again." After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he slowly stood up and walked backwards.

The West Lake under the setting sun seemed quite quiet. The breeze swept across the lake and rippled layers. The pleasure boats on the lake were still shuttled non-stop. From time to time, you could hear the sound of silk and bamboo floating from the lake to the shore.

As Ye Qing returned to the Yan family courtyard, the sky gradually dimmed, and the lanterns were lit in time. After dinner, Ye Qing did not go to the West Lake at night to visit the night sky with Fangfei, but chatted with Fangfei in a casual manner.

At the same time, a fast horse rushed into Dali Temple like lightning. Then Meng Gong and Bi Zaiyu looked quite solemn, looking at the night outside, sighing silently, and then looking at each other silently nodding.

Zhao Ruyu seemed to know that his deadline was approaching, and today he seemed extremely peaceful. The small room was neatly tidied up by him. Even the books he had read these days were neatly arranged by him.

He picked up a letter from the center of the table. In just a few days, Ye Qing had already arranged his family, and the letter was sent by Ye Qing sent someone.

I looked at it carefully from beginning to end again, as if I was saying goodbye to my family again. Zhao Ruyu's face always had a faint calmness and smile, giving people a feeling of calmness and slightness.

As the knock on the door rang, Zhao Ruyu turned around and opened the door. Standing at the door was not Meng Gong whom he often met in recent days, but Bi Xue, but a subordinate beside Ye Qing and several soldiers with gloomy faces.

"General Jia?" Zhao Ruyu said in surprise: "What, will you send me on the way?"

Jia She nodded silently, and then the soldiers behind her handed a small pot of wine to Jia She.

Jia She had no good feelings for Zhao Ruyu, and now she knew that the battle in Guanshan was done by Zhao Ruyu. Jia She now even wanted to let Zhao Ruyu die immediately than Zhong Qing.

"How about handing this letter to Lord Ye in person?" Zhao Ruyu reached out to take the wine pot handed over by Jia She, and then handed the letter just written in the sleeve bag to Jia Shedao.

"I will definitely hand it over to Lord Ye in person." Jia She said expressionlessly.

Zhao Ruyu looked at the wine pot in his hand, then looked at Jia She who walked to the door and slowly covered the door, and then said something inexplicable: "I hope."

Jia She was standing outside the door, and he was not in a hurry to go in to see if Zhao Ruyu was dead. In short, within half an hour, no matter whether Zhao Ruyu had drunk the poisonous wine or not, he had to see a completely dead Zhao Ruyu.

As the crude oil armillary celestial sphere above the Jiahui Gate sounded thick drums again, the queen Li Fengniang, who was sitting on the chair of Ciyuan Hall, closed her eyes to rest, suddenly felt a sudden slack in her heart for some reason.

He looked confused and looked at the direction where the footsteps sounded. Zhu Yeer walked towards her inquiring gaze and said, "Empress, Zuo Jiao just came to report the news from Dali Temple that Duke Yi is dead."

"Where is Ye Qing?" Li Fengniang's first reaction was to ask Ye Qing's whereabouts at this moment.

"Go back to the queen, Lord Ye is still in West Lake, and has not returned to Lin'an City today." Zhu Ye'er said respectfully.

"It's over, this slander is afraid that this slander will make a mistake." Li Fengniang stood up, with a hidden worry in her expression, and murmured: "Don't he know? He had to take a lot of risks by executing Zhao Ruyu so early? He dared to be in West Lake... Zuo Yu immediately took people to the Yanjia Villa in West Lake to see if there was any movement. Also, if you see Ye Qing, no matter what, you must protect him to Xingyuan and go immediately." Li Fengniang's eyes flashed and her expression seemed a little nervous. She watched Zhu Ye'er just left, and before she could come back from her own contemplation, Zhu Ye'er who had just left had gone back, and at this moment, there was another Zuo Yu behind her.

"What's the matter?" Li Fengniang frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

"Go back to the queen, it is said that this afternoon, some things were lost in the Funing Hall where the emperor was located. It was probably done by the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. So the emperor first asked the people from the front office to block the palace's palace. Then, after nightfall, outside the Jiahui Gate and Donghua Gate, the army led by Han Tuozhou had been blocked by the city gate, saying that it was the emperor's will to strictly investigate the thieves who stole treasures in the palace." Zuo Yu bowed to Li Fengniang behind Zhu Yeer's side.

"How many people?" Li Fengniang instantly had a hint of anger between her eyebrows. Only then would he believe that the palace would suddenly lose something at this time.

"There are not many people, but Han Tuozhou is personally in charge of Jiahui Gate, and the left prime minister Han Cheng is at Donghua Gate.

Take charge in person." Zuo Yu said as Li Fengniang, whose expression turned from nervous to a little depressed.

"One step late." Li Fengniang fell back on the chair, frowned and murmured: "The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. This is a combination of inside and outside."

"Empress, if you have something to do, the last general will even break through..." Zuo Yu didn't understand why Li Fengniang became so nervous. After all, as soon as he saw Zhu Yeer walking out of the palace, he had not had time to speak, so he came in with him to report the situation outside the palace.

So at this moment he didn't know that Li Fengniang was worried about Ye Qing's safety in West Lake, and that Ye Qing was afraid that he would be deceived by the Supreme Emperor and Han Cheng, while Zhao Ruyu was the bait that led him to Ye Qing's bait. It can be said that... using Zhao Ruyu's life to exchange for Ye Qing's life, and changing the royal family to important officials. For the Supreme Emperor and Han Cheng, it is worth it.

"No need, look at his luck, see if he still has enough good luck." Li Fengniang interrupted Zuo Yu's words, shook her head and murmured: "Zuo Yu, Zuo Jiao, I will order you from now on no one to enter the palace. Those who trespassed will be executed on the spot."

Zuo Yu's response voice was automatically skipped by Li Fengniang, who was confused in her mind. She now needs to think carefully. If something happens to Ye Qing in West Lake, what should she do next? Is there a possibility of joining forces with Han Cheng again? If not, should she make some noise for Shi Miyuan?

She didn't expect that Ye Qing would execute Zhao Ruyu so soon. She thought that even if Ye Qing wanted to execute Zhao Ruyu, she would come back from Gushan before taking action. But now, Ye Qing is still in West Lake, and Dali Temple here has already taken action. This is obviously enough to show that Ye Qing is afraid that he can't wait, or... has a complete fall with the Supreme Emperor? So he has to take action first?

But can't he see it? This is obviously a trap set up. Wait until he executes Zhao Ruyu and then use him Ye Qing as a scapegoat?

"In order to avenge the woman Zhong Qing, can you, Ye Qing, really ignore everything? Hero! It seems like this is just a joke!" Li Fengniang sneered at the corner of her mouth, with a little more or less a hint of jealousy.

At this time, in the study room of Yanjia, there were still only Fangfei and Ye Qing. Ye Qing was reading a book, Fangfei was looking at people with her chin. The two sat silently in the study room. Although the atmosphere was a bit dull, it was still a little warm.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Ye Qing put down the book in his hand and asked with a smile at Fangfei.

Fangfei's little face turned red, she stuck out her tongue mischievously, and said, "Because the master is a good person."

"Because I'm helping Zhong Qing take revenge?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Under the candle, Fang Fei, with bright eyes and white teeth, still leaned on her chin, then blinked her eyes and nodded vigorously at Ye Qing, saying, "The master knows that helping his wife avenge will offend many people in the court and cause big trouble to him, but the master still did it. Fang Fei admires the master very much."

Fangfei said to him as a master, and Ye Qing, who was leaning against the back of the chair, couldn't help but touch his gray temples, and said with a wry smile: "I've said so many times, don't call me a master. If you continue to call me like this, you will call me old."

Fangfei shook her head mischievously, then stood up and said, "Are you tired? I'll give you a massage?"

After saying that, without waiting for Ye Qing to agree, he walked behind Ye Qing, gently placed his hands beside Ye Qing's temples on both sides, and then used a little force behind. The back of Ye Qing's head was resting on Fangfei's elastic chest.

"Is there a lot of white hair?" Ye Qing asked with her eyes closed with pleasure.

"But the master is not old at all, he is still very young." Fangfei lowered her head and exhaled like an orchid.

Ye Qing smiled and let Fangfei help her gently massage her temples.

The angular cheeks are rarely placed completely under Fangfei's sight, looking at her firm lips, straight nose bridge, and long eyelashes. Fangfei's hands are becoming more and more gentle at this time.

Just as the atmosphere in the study gradually changed from gentleness to spring, there were sounds of arrows and other air breaking through the window, and there were even muffled groans, which came in from the unclosed crack in the window.

"What's the sound?" Fangfei asked curiously.

"Don't pay attention." Ye Qing still closed his eyes and said to Fangfei with an easy-going smile on his face.

"I'll go and have a look..." Fangfei's hands left Ye Qing's temple, turned around curiously and walked towards the window behind her.

"Dangerous, don't get close." Ye Qing was shocked and hurriedly opened his eyes and got up from the chair. At this time, Fangfei had already put one hand on the window.

As Fang Fei had just opened half of the window, she immediately felt her shoulder being pulled from behind, and then a snap sound came from front of her eyes. An arrow was nailed to the window frame, and the tail of the arrow was trembling and buzzing.

Fangfei's little face, which was pulled into Ye Qing's arms, was pale, and she looked at the trembling arrow tail in disbelief. Almost at the same time, Ye Qing hugged her and moved it to the side again. When Fangfei had not fully reacted, there was a continuous sound of breaking through the air.

Holding the soft boneless fragrant flake in your arms, tight

Close to the wall, and at the window where they were standing just now, both windows had been opened, one of which was opened by Fangfei, while the other seemed broken window was hit by urgent and fierce arrows.

The tattered half window became more and more unbearable with the arrow shooting. In the blink of an eye, Fangfei thumped, as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest before she could calm down, the tattered half window squeaked and then fell on the floor beneath her feet.

"Master..." Fangfei looked at Ye Qing with a calm expression in horror.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, it will pass soon." Ye Qing held Fang Fei's snow-white cheeks in both hands and said gently.

"Is it... who is it?" Fangfei's mind went blank. She couldn't believe that there was someone who dared to assassinate Ye Qing, who is now in power.

"Some bandits wandering in the West Lake are probably thinking about the good things in our house." Ye Qing kept holding Fangfei in his arms, and Fangfei's hand holding his waist was still trembling because of the sudden change just now.

Ye Qing even doubted whether he would let Fangfei go at this moment, would this girl have her legs weakened and then sat on the ground with her butt.

"But... it's ok that's never happened before..." Fangfei turned her bright and nervous eyes, but compared to the moment of shock just now, she had gradually calmed down in Ye Qing's arms.

Although my mind was still not recovering from the sudden situation just now, my little face gradually recovered a little bloody color under the gentle care of Ye Qing's hands.

"Don't worry, Zhong Yan will get rid of it." Ye Qing lowered his head and kissed the seductive but still a little cold lips and said.

He hooked his feet across the chair and then sat down next to the wall. Fangfei was placed on his thigh and then continued to hold it in his arms.

"Master, is it because..." Fangfei suddenly looked at Ye Qing with a shocked look. Fangfei had long been accustomed to such an ambiguous posture between them, but on most of the time, Zhong Qing sat in the man's arms.

"Don't think about it, it doesn't matter." Ye Qing smiled and pinched Fangfei's nose.

When Guan Li entered Gushan, he whispered to remind him to be careful. The reason why he did not return to Lin'an was to stay in the Yan family courtyard because he wanted to see if the current Supreme Emperor would kill him like Zhao Gou back then.

Now, he also understood why the Empress Dowager Xie wanted to keep Zhong Qing in the palace instead of letting him go back to Lin'an with him. It seems that the Empress Dowager knew this matter very well, but... Zhong Qing was also kept in the dark.

The arrows had stopped at the window, and at this time, there were increasingly rapid footsteps, muffled groans, and even some jingles of swords and guns colliding, which seemed to be clearer in the middle of the night than ever.

The sound of the window downstairs being broken sounded, and Fangfei, who was sitting on Ye Qing's legs, was involuntarily shocked, and then she felt Ye Qing pat her cheek gently and signal her to stand up.

The candle in the study was extinguished by Ye Qing who had stood up, then he hugged Fangfei's waist with one hand, and pulled out the Yanling knife hanging on the wall with the other hand.

"Don't be afraid, just follow me tightly..." Ye Qing said to Fangfei the moment he pushed open the door of the study.

Before he could finish speaking to Fangfei, just as the door opened, under the candlelight outside, a masked man in black had already rushed in front of him. Fangfei opened her mouth wide in fright, but before she could scream in fright, the man in black who ran up alone obviously did not expect that he would find the real owner in one go.

But before he could put his hand on his waist, he felt a light appearing in front of his eyes, and suddenly flew up. The woman who was hugged by Ye Qing in her arms was even more frightened and opened her eyes widened and looked up at her...'s head.

"If you are afraid, close your eyes." Ye Qing waved his sword and did not immediately put away his knife. Instead, he blocked his arm in front of Fangfei, helping Fangfei block a lot of splashing blood.

The sound of footsteps sounded again at the entrance of the stairs, and Fangfei's heart was already tightly clinging. She originally thought that a man in black would appear in front of her again, but when Fangfei saw the figure, she was two unmasked strangers.

"grown ups……."

"It's okay here, how many people are there outside?" Ye Qing asked with a geese-feathered knife in his hand and pointed to the body under his feet.

"Sir, there are about a hundred people. The specific number is not clear, but there will be no more fish here. General Zhong specially asked the last general..."

"One person goes down and tell Zhong Can not report to the official, nor do you have to disturb others. All the bodies will be moved to the yard." Ye Qing pointed to the corpse under his feet again, and then said to the soldiers of the Caihua Family Army opposite.
