Chapter 10: A dead end!
Although Ye Youyue said she didn't believe it, it actually proved that she believed it in her heart.
"Believe it or not, we will know the news from the Royal Guards when we wait! "
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, something happened!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly.
"come in!"
After Duan Tianya came in, he quickly said, "Your Highness, a person was shot and killed on the way to the Northern Pacification Office. The Jinyiwei tracked him down but failed to catch him. The person was wearing... the clothes of Concubine Hu's guards."
"As for who is behind this, I don't know!"
Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I got it!"
"Go down and rest. Continue to strengthen the surveillance of the Hu Mansion. If we don't get the news in time today, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
Although I got the news today, I was still one step too late for the killer. Fortunately, Ye Youyue is not that naive.
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
Only after Duan Tianya left did Ye Youyue burst into tears.
"No, how could it be the Queen? It can't be the Queen's!"
"How could she be willing to kill me when she loves me so much!"
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, walked to her side and held her in his arms.
"It's not impossible. Even if she didn't send the person, she didn't stop him, so she still wanted to kill you."
"Okay, they don't want you anymore, but you still have me. From now on, this is your home. As long as I am here, no one can do anything to you!"
After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Ye Youyue gently held Xiao Yan's waist and started crying.
Ye Youyue was completely disappointed with Hu Shanxiang, and began to feel different towards Xiao Yan!
Xiao Yan ordered someone to help Ye Youyue wash up, and then he sat quietly beside her bed to accompany her.
Feeling the sense of security that Xiao Yan brought her, Ye Youyue fell asleep soon!
Seeing the person in front of me sleeping with just a frown on his face, I felt a little distressed.
If Xiao Yan had a revengeful mentality before, now he really regarded Ye Youyue as his woman.
"Hu Zhenghe? You dare to touch my woman. I hope you can bear my wrath next time!"
Hu Mansion.
"Sir, the people we sent out have been caught and have been dealt with!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhenghe was furious: "What are you doing? You can't even handle such a small matter?"
The servants dared not say a word.
"Have the killers sold us out?"
The servant quickly replied: "Don't worry, sir. They are all dead servants we carefully trained. Their families are in our hands. Even if they die, they will not reveal their origins!"
Hu Zhenghe then nodded with satisfaction.
"I failed to kill Ye Youyue today. It will be difficult to get rid of her in the future!"
"But it doesn't matter. How many secrets can a woman know?"
"Get rid of those Deadpool family members, before the news leaks out!"
Hu Zhenghe is such a unscrupulous person. He will never keep someone if he is no longer useful.
"Xiao Yan, ah Xiao Yan, you really make me look at you in a new light!"
“I hope you won’t regret it next time!”
The next day, the court was held.
"Your Highness, disaster relief in the north cannot be delayed any longer. We must set out immediately."
"A large number of refugees have already begun to flee. If we don't act now, there will be chaos!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan looked at Wan Tongfu who was standing aside.
"Is Master Wan ready?"
Wan Tongfu stood up with a tired look on his face and said, "Your Highness, I am ready and can set off at any time!"
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "This matter is of great importance. When you go there, comfort the people and explain to them the benefits of building water conservancy projects!"
"If anyone causes trouble or incites the victims to cause unrest, they will be arrested immediately!"
"To put it simply, if you work you get food, if you don't work you go hungry."
"It is absolutely impossible to get something for nothing. We in the Great Zhou do not support idlers!"
Wan Tongfu was very clear about Xiao Yan's determination on this matter, so he naturally did not dare to slack off.
"I obey your order!"
Xiao Yan nodded and looked at the exhausted Wan Tongfu and continued, "But Lord Wan, you still need to take a rest. If you fall down, this matter will be really difficult to handle!"
Wan Tongfu felt warm in his heart. Although Xiao Yan was very strict with him, he also cared about him very much.
"I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"
Xiao Yan understood that Wan Tongfu’s pressure did not only come from work, he was also afraid that Hu Zhenghe was trying to trip him up from behind!
"Don't worry about the family affairs. You can be assured with me here. I am not blind to those who have devoted themselves to our Great Zhou!"
In fact, Wan Tongfu's pressure came from his family. His family members had been threatened frequently in recent days.
He also understood who did this, but he couldn't back down because of this.
He wanted to do something, something big that would benefit the country and the people. If he backed down because of this difficulty, he would probably completely lose Xiao Yan's trust in the future.
Now that I have no worries, I dare to do it with all my heart.
"Okay, let's set off today. I will send you an army to ensure your safety."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
At this moment, everyone felt sorry for this opportunity, but they also knew that the Crown Prince would naturally not use people like them and Hu Zhenghe's faction as regent.
"Who has another copy?"
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Hu Zhenghe stood up.
"Your Highness, I have a report!"
When Xiao Yan saw Hu Zhenghe coming out, he knew that this guy was going to cause trouble again.
"speak!"
Hu Zhenghe took out a stack of papers from his sleeves and raised his hands above his head.
"Your Highness, I want to report the commander of the Royal Guard, Lord Duan Tianya."
When these words were spoken, not only Xiao Yan was confused, but all the officials were shocked.
It's a good thing that the Jinyiwei didn't cause any trouble for you, but you still dare to cause trouble for the Jinyiwei.
"tell me the story!"
Xiao Yan looked indifferently at the calm Duan Tianya standing aside.
"Your Highness, Lord Duan's servant reported that Lord Duan hid the dragon robe at home. This is a capital crime. If you don't believe it, Your Highness can go to his house and search it!"
"Duan Tianya has the intention of treason, we can't be careless at this time, please Your Highness, please be careful!"
When these words were spoken, all officials were shocked. Secretly keeping the dragon robe was tantamount to treason, and the entire family would be punished.
After hearing what Hu Zhenghe said, Xiao Yan knew that something bad was going to happen. He was afraid that Hu Zhenghe had bribed Duan Tianya's servants to frame him.
If we search now, we’ll probably find the exact answer!
Duan Tianya also frowned at this time, thinking of the seriousness of the situation.
Privately keeping the dragon robe is definitely a capital crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan and is considered treason!
"Does Lord Duan have any explanation?"
Xiao Yan looked at Duan Tianya standing aside!
"I am wronged. Please, Your Highness, make the decision!"
Duan Tianya knew that Hu Zhenghe would never say that if he was not absolutely sure.
But the dragon robe is probably already in his home, and anyone who searches will find it.
This is an unbreakable deadlock, a dead end!
