?
The streets became more and more lively and the restaurants also sang and danced to celebrate peace.
After a few rounds of drinking, everyone relaxed.
"Ye Chunnan, don't you have a sister? Why didn't you bring her out for everyone to see? " Sitting in the main seat was a handsome young man. He must have drunk a lot as his face was flushed and he glanced sideways at Ye Chunnan.
"So the Liu Family has this kind of habit. They often bring their daughters out to meet people? What an eye-opener. "Ye Chunnan smiled faintly, his slender fingers playing with the wine glass.
That young man was none other than Liu Hebin, who didn't get along with Ye Chunnan.
Hearing Ye Chunnan's words, his face darkened, "Ye Chunnan, which other family's daughters can't compare to yours? I heard that your sister entered the palace as soon as she arrived in the capital and even stayed in the Qian Long Palace for a few days. Don't you know what this means?"
Ye Chunnan smiled, "I really don't know what it means. Why don't you tell me? Right, I heard that the Eldest Prince was grounded and Imperial Concubine Liu was banished to the Cold Palace. What happened? Did I say something wrong? "
The punishment of Imperial Concubine Liu and her son was a taboo that the Liu Family couldn't touch. Liu Hebin looked coldly at Ye Chunnan, "Young General Ye, you've only made some military achievements. You're getting more and more powerful."
"I can't compare to General Liu." Ye Chunnan smiled.
"You're just a brat who hasn't even grown his hair. You want to compare to me?" Liu Hebin snorted.
Ye Chunnan smiled faintly, "There's really nothing to compare."
Sitting next to Liu Hebin, Zhou Liqin hurriedly persuaded, "General Liu, Young General Ye, let's drink and not talk about this."
Liu Hebin pushed away the wine glass Zhou Liqin handed over, "Get out of my way!"
Ye Chunnan looked at him with a faint smile, "General Liu, is there a need to be so angry? It's a festival today. You should be happy. "
"Someone harmed the prince. As his uncle, how can I be happy?" Liu Hebin said angrily.
"Uncle?" Ye Chunnan looked at him with a faint smile, "General Liu, those who don't know would think that your surname is Fang. The dignified Imperial Uncle hasn't even spoken yet. Is it your turn to worry? By the way, I heard that His Majesty evaluated you as a so-called uncle. What kind of uncle are you? "
Fang Yu was sitting next to Ye Chunnan. He was Queen Fang's only biological brother and also the Emperor's true uncle in Dongqing. However, the Liu family had never paid any attention to the Fang family.
Liu Hebin glanced at Fang Yu and then at Ye Chunnan, his face livid.
Ye Chunnan stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said, "What's the saying again? The evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear. General Liu, what do you think?"
"You …"
Fang Yu nodded with a smile. "You're right, General Ye."
"What did you say?" Liu Hebin glared at Fang Yu.
"General Liu, thank you for your invitation today, but I still have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now." Fang Yu didn't want to attend the banquet. If Zhou Liqin hadn't begged him to come, he wouldn't have come to witness Liu Hebin's arrogance.
Ye Chunnan smiled and said, "Uncle, what a coincidence. I also have something to do. Let's go together."
Liu Hebin was so angry that his face turned green and then white. Then, people left one after another.
"General Ye, would you do me the honor to go somewhere else for a drink?" Fang Yu asked as he and Ye Chunnan walked out of the restaurant. He knew his sister's situation in the palace. If she didn't help to win over the ministers in the court, the First Prince would become the Crown Prince in the future, and the Fang family wouldn't have a good life.
Ye Chunnan smiled and said, "Uncle, please."
…
…
In a small courtyard of the Ye family, which was different from the festive atmosphere outside.
Ye Yiqing pushed open the courtyard door. Two servants saw him and retreated to the side with their heads down. He walked slowly into the room.
The light in the room was weak. Ye Yiqing personally twisted the wick, and the light illuminated every corner of the room. Two figures appeared on the ground.
"Haha, Second Uncle, you finally remember that I'm a useless person?" Ye Chunming stood in the corner with his hands hanging down powerlessly. He looked at Ye Yiqing with hatred in his eyes.
"I have something to ask you." Ye Yiqing sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of hot tea. "Come and sit down."
Ye Chunming stood still and looked coldly at Ye Yiqing.
Ye Yiqing didn't force him and said lightly, "Have you heard of the name Cao Lei?"
"No." Ye Chunming's eyes twitched and he quickly denied it.
"What about Lin Zhanhong?" Ye Yiqing smiled and asked again.
Ye Chunming's expression froze. Why was Ye Yiqing asking about these two people? Did he know something? "I don't know. What do you want to know?"
"I want to know what secret your father told you before he died," Ye Yiqing said with a smile. It wasn't that he didn't find anything these days, but there were too many mysteries that he couldn't solve. Later, he thought of Ye Chunming.
If it wasn't for Bai Ziqi, he wouldn't have realized that this matter might have something to do with Ye Yisong.
Ye Chunming sneered. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You really don't know?" Ye Yiqing looked at him with a faint smile. "Your father was Prime Minister for so many years. Where is all the embezzled silver? I remember that there was always a problem with the salt tax in Jiangnan. I think your father must have gotten a big share. Where is the silver? "
"You want to know? Go ask my father. "Ye Chunming said with a sneer.
Ye Yiqing glanced at him. "I'm guessing that your father must have told you how to open the treasury, but you don't know where it is. You also don't know that Cao Lei has been killed, and his treasure map has been stolen."
"Impossible!" Ye Chunming's expression changed. "Who could have killed him? There are so many people in his Cao family. Who could have killed him?"
Ye Yiqing laughed. "It seems that you know very well. It seems that my guess was right. Ye Yisong really colluded with Cao Lei. You're so sure that you can avenge the Ye family because you think you can get the silver?"
"This was left to me by my father!" Ye Chunming shouted.
"Who wants to compete with you for ill-gotten wealth?" Ye Yiqing sneered. "If you have the ability to get it, I will also admire you."
Ye Chunming gritted his teeth and shouted. "You've already turned me into a cripple. How do you want me to get the silver?"
"Then you better not leave this place. If Bai Ziqi finds out that you have a way to open the treasury, you probably won't be able to keep your life." Ye Yiqing said in a low voice.
"Who does that Bai Ziqi think he is? He dares to covet my Ye family's things? "Ye Chunming asked angrily.
Ye Yiqing looked at him with a faint smile. Ye Yisong had indeed colluded with Cao Lei.
"No one knew about this. How did you know?" Ye Chunming asked.
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it." Ye Yiqing said lightly. "Do you plan to tell me the way to open the treasury or keep it a secret forever?"
