The man said, "Ye Sha is in the south, near … Yongzhou. When the other party came to find us, Prince Ding had not yet left the capital, so we did not plan on taking this job. However, the other party vowed that Prince Ding would definitely leave the capital within a month. Therefore, they offered a large sum of money to invite us to infiltrate the capital. If Prince Ding had not left the capital, we would not make a move. Ten days ago, Prince Ding had indeed left the capital. We observed for another ten days and found that the assassins did not know about Ye Sha. Therefore, we decided to make a move. "
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Very good. Where is your leader?"
The man was startled and looked at Ye Li in astonishment. Ye Li faintly said, "You guys were able to observe for ten days before taking action. This consort doesn't believe that the assassins from a few days ago didn't return. This consort doesn't believe that you guys didn't properly assess the strength of the Ding Palace. Knowing that it is impossible to do it, yet you still did it? That can only mean that you … are not the true leader of Ye Sha, right? " Seeing the man lower his head and not speak, Ye Li did not mind. She grabbed a piece of paper from the table and wrote for a while before raising her head and handing it to Qin Feng, "Take him down and ask him according to what is written. If you still can't get anything out of him, then there is no need to bring him back. This consort does not have that much patience. "Qin Feng glanced at the paper in his hand and waved his hand at the guard before taking him out.
Mo Hua looked at Ye Li and said, "Wang Fei already knew that he was not the true leader? Since that is the case, why waste time on him? "
Ye Li smiled helplessly and said, "Although he is only a scout, we really do not know where the rest of Ye Sha are, right? I feel that … if we can't find these people quickly, we will be in big trouble. "Mo Hua gritted her teeth and said," Even if that person in the palace is not involved, he definitely knows about these people's plan. The Shadow Guard has been obstructed in their search for the past few days, it is definitely that person's doing. "Ye Li calmly said," Has the Shadow Guard reached the point where they can be easily obstructed by the palace guards? "Mo Hua's face was ashen, unable to say anything for a long time. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what the princess consort has in mind!"
Ye Li shrugged and said with a smile, "I don't have any great moves. I'm just going to deal with all changes by sticking to the status quo."
Half an hour later, Qin Feng delivered the assassin's confession again. The expression on his face was even more austere than before. Ye Li was not in a hurry to look at the confession and asked, "Is he dead?" Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Not dead, he fainted." Ye Li nodded and lowered her head to look at the confession in her hand. A cold smile gradually appeared on her lips, "Very good …" She raised her hand and handed the confession to Mo Hua and Zhuo Jing. The two looked at it and their expressions became heavy. Mo Hua stood and said, "This subordinate will immediately call all the Shadow Guard near the capital back to the fu!"
"Stop!" Ye Li said calmly.
Mo Hua turned around and glared at Ye Li with some anger, "Princess, all the people have already joined forces to attack the wang fu. Once they …"
"Once they come in, I will make sure they don't return!" Ye Li said with a cold smile. Mo Hua stilled, as if frightened by Ye Li's unrestrained killing intent. She frowned and said, "Even though the wang fu is heavily guarded, it is impossible to guard against so many experts at the same time. It is not just Princess's safety, but also many important places in the fu … "
Ye Li's smile was warm, but it made the people who heard it feel a chill in their bones, "Don't worry. Send someone to tell General Sun to lead the Black Cloud Cavalry to guard all the exits in and out of the capital. Once the assassins escape, kill them without mercy. The Shadow Guard will be stationed in all parts of the capital. Once they find someone escaping, kill them! Also, if the Shadow Guard near the Prince Ding Mansion sees the situation in the fu, immediately surround the King's Mansion. No one can enter, no one can leave. "
"This subordinate obeys," Qin Feng and Zhuo Jing said respectfully.
Mo Hua looked at the two and also acknowledged. Ye Li nodded and said to Qin Feng, "Let out all of your people to train. Their first mission is codenamed 'Extermination.' "
Qin Feng nodded excitedly and said, "This subordinate understands. This subordinate will not disappoint Princess's trust."
Ye Li waved her hand to dismiss the three of them. She raised her head to look at the bright sunlight outside the window and couldn't help but sigh. In a short span of ten days, the King's Mansion had turned into a sea of blood. But … … no matter what, she had to protect this mansion. This was not only a grand King's Mansion, but it was also her home.
Ever since Prince Ding left the capital, the nobles in the capital could clearly feel the gloomy atmosphere of an impending storm. Not everyone was kept in the dark about the continuous attacks on the King's Mansion. After all, the commotion caused by the killings was not small. But there was no indication from the palace, so people could somewhat understand the thoughts of that person in the palace. But occasionally, there would be a faint uneasiness in their hearts. It was good that nothing happened to the King's Mansion. If something really happened, Prince Ding's return would be a very troublesome matter.
A few days later, there was news that Princess Ding had been frightened and was bedridden. Even the summons from the palace were all rejected. The King's Mansion closed its doors to visitors, so no matter if it was those who were worried or those who wanted to inquire about the news, there was no way to know the real news of the King's Consort. Many people also secretly believed the rumour that Princess Ding was seriously ill. After all, she was a teenage girl. No matter how powerful she was, without Prince Ding by her side, even a normal man would not be able to withstand the continuous assassination attempts for ten days, let alone a girl.
"Princess, Lord Xu from the Imperial Censor's Mansion requests an audience." Director Mo respectfully reported.
The brush in Ye Li's hand paused and she faintly said, "I won't see him. Please ask Lord Xu to return. When my body recovers, I will go to the Imperial Censor's Mansion to pay my respects to Uncle and Aunt another day. "
Director Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Xu is very insistent. He also said that if Princess insists on not seeing him, he will immediately enter the palace to meet the Emperor and recount the recent assassination attempts on the King's Mansion." In reality, it wasn't that no one had reported this matter to the Emperor, but all the memorials had been kept by the Emperor and not sent out, completely treating it as if there was no such matter. Some of these people were hindered by the Emperor's intentions, some were secretly appeased by people from the Prince Ding Mansion. So even though the assassination attempt on the Prince Ding Mansion was an open secret, but on the surface, everyone still accompanied the Emperor and acted as if they did not know.
Ye Li was silent for a moment and finally said, "Invite Uncle in."
Xu Hongyan followed Director Mo in. Director Mo excused himself at the door and invited him to enter the study alone. Ye Li put down the brush and stood to greet, "Uncle, why have you come?"
Xu Hongyan glared at her in exasperation and said, "If I didn't come, I would have left you in the Prince Ding Mansion without knowing if you were alive or dead?"
Ye Li smiled and pulled Xu Hongyan into the study to sit down, smiling as she said, "What do you mean by alive or dead, Li 'er is fine. I've made Uncle and Aunt worried these days. "
Xu Hongyan faintly glanced at her, "You know we're worried but you still stopped your second brother outside. If I personally came today, you wouldn't have sent any news to the family?" Ye Li looked with some difficulty at Xu Hongyan and said, "Uncle, these days, my fu … …" Xu Hongyan frowned and said, "These days, Jing has been very chaotic. The people in my fu were sent by you? " Ye Li nodded and said, "I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the capital in the next few days. Uncle and Aunt should be careful." Xu Hongyan frowned and said, "What does the Emperor mean?"
