Ye Li was satisfied, but the others were not. Ye Wangshi and Old Madame Ye screamed at Ye Wenhua angrily.
In the past, Ye Wenhua would compromise in front of his father and wife, but this time, he was very determined. No matter how Old Madame Ye scolded him, he refused to say anything. Ye Wenhua, who had been in the government for half of his life, was definitely more sensitive than Old Madame Ye, Ye Wangshi, and even Ye Yue. Once he compromised and expressed his willingness to leave with them, today would be the end of the Ye family. He believed that Ye Li would not kill him because of their father-daughter relationship, but Mo Xiuyao was also known for his ruthlessness.
Mo Xiuyao, who had been watching the show, seemed to be tired of the farce in front of him. He sat up and looked at everyone with a faint smile, "Old Madame Ye … Do you know that the Prince Ding Mansion and the Da Chu State have a grudge against each other?"
Old Madame Ye was stunned. Obviously, she did not understand what Mo Xiuyao meant.
Mo Xiuyao said casually, "Since the Ye family has settled down in Li City, then they are under the Prince Ding Mansion. Now you are telling me that I plan to bring the man who tried to assassinate I's concubine to Jiang Nan to seek refuge with the Li Palace. Can I assume that you are planning to … rebel? " Old Madam Ye's eyes widened in horror. She couldn't understand how this matter could be related to rebellion. But this did not stop her from knowing what kind of serious crime it was to rebel.
"How can this be considered?! We are not under your Prince Ding Mansion! "Wang Shi screamed.
Mo Xiuyao's lips curved into a smile, "Not someone from Prince Ding's residence? That meant they were Mo Jingli's men. Then … I can also treat you as spies. How about it? For the sake of Mr. Li, I will allow you to choose the way you like to die. " This time, Old Madam Ye and Madam Ye were really scared. They looked at Mo Xiuyao's handsome face and trembled. "No … Don't …"
Ye Yue, who had been silent all this while, took a step back and fell into the chair behind her. In the end, she had underestimated the abilities of the Prince Ding Mansion. She had planned everything well. She avoided the chaos of war and followed Wang Shi to Li City. She met Mo Jingli and persuaded Mo Jingli as she wished. However, he didn't expect to be defeated at this critical juncture. In the end, she was just a weak woman without the strength to truss a chicken. No matter how smart he was, without enough bargaining chips, he would not be able to withstand a single blow from a colossus like the Prince Ding Mansion. And obviously, Ye Yue was the type of person who didn't have enough bargaining chips. The bargaining chips in her hands were only useful to Mo Jingli. In the eyes of others, they were of little value.
Mo Xiuyao stood up and walked slowly to Ye Yue. He lifted her chin condescendingly and looked at her carefully for a long time. Then, he said lightly, "You are the first person who dared to make a move on Mr. Li. I … have always remembered you. " Hearing this, Ye Yue didn't feel the slightest bit of surprise. Instead, she shivered. Her beautiful eyes were full of fear.
However, Ye Yue could escape from the Empress Dowager and the imperial family. She could also escape the investigation of the Prince Ding Mansion. She had traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the Ye family's hometown in the southwest. She could even live peacefully for so many years. Naturally, she wouldn't be so easily frightened. After calming down, Ye Yue tried to make her voice sound calmer. She said to Mo Xiuyao, "Prince, what happened to Third Sister … It was the Empress Dowager who forced me. I also had no other choice. Prince, please be magnanimous. Ye Yue will repay Prince's kindness of not killing me even if it costs me my life. "
"Forced you to do it?" Mo Xiuyao sneered. He shook off Ye Yue's chin with disdain, "Do you think I will let that old woman go? I don't care if you were forced or not. Those who hurt Mr. Li deserve to die. Even if someone forced you, you should die yourself. Why don't you die? If you die, perhaps I will avenge you and let your son be the emperor. "
Ye Yue had seen many unreasonable people. However, this was the first time Ye Yue had seen someone ask "Why don't you die?" so matter-of-factly. For a moment, she couldn't come back to her senses. After a while, she trembled and said, "Prince, you mean … the Empress Dowager forced me to kill Third Sister, so I should die myself?"
"That's right." Mo Xiuyao nodded with satisfaction and said, "All of you can die. Only I, Mr. Li, can't be hurt. I will make anyone who dares to hurt her regret living. You should be satisfied after living for so many years. "
"Lunatic!" Ye Yue said with a trembling voice. She turned to look at Ye Li and smiled bitterly, "Third Sister, are you really not afraid of being with such a lunatic?"
Mo Xiuyao's face darkened. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He raised his hand and was about to slap Ye Li's head. Behind him, Ye Li raised her hand and grabbed his wrist. She pulled his hand back and interlocked their fingers. Seeing Ye Yue's shocked expression, Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Why should I be afraid? I believe that if there is only one person in this world who won't hurt me, it will be him. Don't you think it's a very blissful thing to have such a person by your side? "
"Blissful?" Ye Yue stared blankly at the two people standing side by side in front of her. A trace of confusion flashed across her eyes. Once she looked back, she realized that she had never experienced blissful in her life. The only time she felt happy was when she was a young girl before entering the palace. Moreover, it was after Lady Xu passed away and Lady Wang was promoted to the head wife. Because before that, she was just a concubine's daughter in the Ye family. These days only lasted for two or three years. When she entered the palace, she was walking on thin ice everywhere. How could she be happy? Mo Jingqi had never loved her. Of course, she had never loved Mo Jingqi. Therefore, she did not understand what Ye Li meant by blissful. But looking at the two's tightly interlocked hands, her heart was incomparably envious and lonely.
"Second Sister, tell me, what did you use to exchange with Mo Jingli?" Ye Li asked softly.
Ye Yue closed her eyes and did not speak. Ye Li did not get angry. She smiled faintly and said, "Second Sister, I don't want to torture you. With your body, I'm afraid you won't be able to endure it. "Ye Yue coldly said," What difference does it make whether I can endure it or not? Do you think Prince Ding will spare me? " Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "He won't. But … I seem to remember that the person who did the autopsy reported that the child burned to death in the fire was not the Fifth Prince. Hm? "
Ye Yue's expression finally became ugly, "Mo Xiuyao, you dare!"
"Is there anything in this world that I don't dare to do?" Mo Xiuyao asked, "You are very smart. You didn't bring that child to Li City. That child also looks a bit like Mo Jingqi. But you're not smart enough. That is, you shouldn't have brought him to the northwest. "
Ye Yue's face was pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll say … Back then, the Emperor gave Mo Jingli a drug. I have the antidote …"
Mo Xiuyao frowned, "Antidote? Didn't you say that there was no antidote? " At that time, he had also looked for Shen Yang to study the drug. Shen Yang had casually thrown it away after a glance, saying that there was no antidote.
