The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength
Chapter 174 The Fish Has Come Ashore
"Madam," a head popped out of the door and said to Ye Qiandai, "Madam, the pet fish you kept in the pond jumped onto the shore."
Ye Qiandai was stunned at first, then waved her hand at him, pretending to be displeased and scolded: "You tactless thing, can't you see we are busy looking for something?
"Just throw the fish back out once it's landed. Do you need to report this to me?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." The young eunuch nodded and agreed, then stepped out and ran away.
Seeing him leave, Ye Qiandai curled the corners of her mouth imperceptibly.
The fish is now ashore, great, now we can heat up the oil in a pan.
"Your Majesty~" She turned to Lu Shian and said anxiously, "I have been looking for it for so long and still can't find it. In my opinion, it must have been stolen by some dishonest servant."
"Oh? What do you think, my beloved concubine? How can we get the jade pendant back?" Lu Shi'an looked at her and asked.
“In my opinion, if a thief is bold enough to steal the emperor’s jade pendant, he would not dare to show it in the palace. He would most likely take it out of the palace and sell it.
"Why don't you have the emperor have the people guarding the palace gate strictly and search all people leaving the palace. This way, we can prevent the jade pendant from flowing out of the palace and effectively find the murderer."
Lu Shian nodded and agreed with her suggestion, "Okay, let's follow my beloved concubine's opinion."
After saying this, he instructed his personal eunuch, "Pass on my order and quickly notify the palace gate guards. Anyone leaving the palace, regardless of their status, must be strictly searched. No mistakes can be made."
"Yes." The eunuch responded and turned to run.
"Wait!" Ye Qiandai called him and added, "Tell them to set up a search point outside the palace gate. Don't let anyone in the palace see you when you search, so as not to alert the thieves. If they see someone searching, they will turn back."
"I understand." The man bowed to her and ran away.
After giving the order, she comforted Lu Shian again, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, let's wait first, there may be results in a while."
Lu Shian put his arm around her shoulders and nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Whatever you want to do, I'll listen to you.
An hour later, two eunuchs rushed in, fell to their knees on the ground, and kowtowed to Lu Shi'an in fear and trepidation.
"Your Majesty, something happened!"
Ye Qiandai frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did the emperor's jade pendant not find its place, or is it damaged?"
One of the eunuchs crawled to Lu Shian's feet on his knees, presented an envelope with both hands, and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the jade pendant was not found, but the Imperial Guards found a letter on Qin Yu when they searched for people who had left the palace."
Lu Shian took the envelope, opened it and asked, "Qin Yu? Which Qin Yu?"
"It's... it's Ye Baijiang's confidant Qin Yu!"
Lu Shian paused as he was opening the letter. He looked at Ye Qiandai, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
Ye Qiandai's face showed panic, and she nervously changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look at what is written in this letter. Did Ye Baijiang do anything bad?"
Lu Shian looked at her deeply, then looked away and continued to open the envelope.
The contents of the letter soon appeared before his eyes.
As his gaze moved downward, his face quickly became clouded over.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes were cold, and his whole body seemed to have fallen to freezing point in an instant, emitting a strong murderous intent.
"Ye Baijiang!" He roared and slammed his palm on the table, scaring all the servants in the room to kneel on the ground, nodding their heads and trembling with fear, for fear of being affected by the emperor's wrath.
"Go and bring that old thief Ye Baijiang to me!" He ordered with gritted teeth, and someone immediately did as he was told.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Ye Qiandai sat over to comfort him, gently stroking his chest with her delicate hands, trying to calm his anger.
"What's wrong with the emperor? What exactly is written in the letter? Why did the emperor get so angry?"
Lu Shian slammed the letter on the table and said angrily, "Look for yourself."
Ye Qiandai looked at him, reached out to take the letter and read it. After a moment, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, this is actually a letter written by Ye Baijiang to my royal brother?
"He actually wants to surrender to my brother, intending to... intending to collude with him and do something detrimental to Lingjiang State?"
Lu Shian was furious and said hatefully, "I had long expected that Zhu Jingguo had evil intentions, but I didn't expect that they would dare to collude with Ye Baijiang.
"No wonder Ye Beimo hasn't returned to the country yet. It turns out that he is secretly planning to plant a sharp blade next to me."
"Your Majesty!" Ye Qiandai hurriedly stood up and knelt, saying to him in fear and trepidation, "My brother, the emperor, has committed such a heinous crime and deserves death. I beg Your Majesty to punish him."
Lu Shian pulled her up from the ground and asked pointedly, "You don't know about this, right?"
Ye Qiandai shook her head repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I don't know. I only know that my father asked my brother to send me here to ask for peace. I don't know anything else."
Lu Shian patted her hands and asked again: "Now that you know, which side are you going to stand on?"
"Of course it's the emperor's side!" Ye Qiandai answered quickly, her big eyes full of determination.
"At home, I obey my father, and after marriage, I obey my husband. Although I was not married by the emperor in a formal way, and although I am not the emperor's legal wife, from the day I entered the palace, the emperor has been my husband. Naturally, I regard you as my heaven, and besides..."
She paused, pretending to be angry and said, "It was my father who started the war. Zhujing Kingdom was defeated, but Lingjiang Kingdom did not pursue the matter and was willing to have friendly relations between the two countries. This is truly the style of a broad-minded great country.
"Father and my brother not only don't care about the emperor's kindness, but also dare to secretly carry out evil deeds. They are really beastly and shameless. How can I stand on their side?"
Lu Shian nodded with relief, holding her hand and sighing, "I am very pleased that you are so reasonable. But in your opinion, how should I deal with this matter?"
Ye Qiandai rolled her eyes and thought for a while, then sighed, "Ye Baijiang is the former prime minister of Lingjiang State and the uncle of the emperor. He actually colluded with the enemy country and intended to rebel. His wolfish ambition is obvious.
“I heard earlier that he had hidden the city defense map in his mansion, and the emperor spared his life for the sake of the queen mother’s face, but he never changed his ways.
"If the emperor lets him off easily again this time, I'm afraid the ministers will be furious and the people of the world will not accept it!"
Lu Shian lowered his head and thought for a moment, still asking for her opinion, "My lady is right, then I will act according to the law and cut off Ye Baijiang's head to serve as a warning to others, how about that?"
Ye Qiandai quietly clenched her fists in her sleeves, a trace of blood appeared in her eyes, and a cruel word came out of her red mouth: "Kill!"
Ye Baijiang! You ruined my mother's life, and then teamed up with Mu Zhengrong to kill her! You also treated me harshly for seventeen years.
Now...it's not my fault!
Lu Shian's heart skipped a beat. He pursed his lips and looked at her with a frown.
He dared not think about what his baby had experienced in the prime minister's residence for more than ten years. Such a kind and weak person did not even blink when he said he wanted to kill his own father.
This...how much hatred is this?
He didn't mind her cruelty, he just knew that the reason she became like this was directly proportional to the harm she had suffered, and he felt sorry for her.
