Ye Feiyan glanced at Ye Baijiang with reluctance and answered cruelly: "That incident was all done by Ye Baijiang alone. I... had no idea!"

Ye Baijiang shuddered and looked at her quickly, his face full of shock and pain.

Lu Shian nodded and said, "It's good that my mother doesn't know about it. Now Ye Baijiang is colluding with the enemy and treason, and he has sent people to assassinate me and the concubine. All the crimes he has committed are punishable by death.

"As the Queen Mother of a country, I'm sure you won't plead for mercy for such a wicked person, right?"

Ye Feiyan closed her eyes in grief, tears streaming down her face.

After a long while, she seemed to have used up all her strength and replied in a trembling voice: "It's all up to... the emperor to decide!"

"Mother Queen (Aunt)!!"

The cries of Ye Baijiang's family resounded through the sky, and the deep sadness and despair seemed to drown them alive.

Ye Qiandai curled her lips and watched the tragic scene in front of her. She felt so happy in her heart, but she pretended to sigh with regret, "Oh, if I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

Ye Baijiang looked at her, and suddenly seemed to realize something. He stretched out his long arm and pointed at her, his eyes wide open and bloodshot, and he was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off.

"You! You bitch, you deliberately let Ye Beimo instigate me. I... fell into your brother and sister's trap!"

Ye Qiandai pretended to be surprised and waved her hands to deny it. "What nonsense are you talking about, Lord Ye? I haven't seen Ye Beimo for several days. What Ye Beimo did only represents him personally. I don't know anything about it."

Ye Yuqing's eyes turned red with hatred, and he screamed at her crazily: "You are siblings, and you don't know that he did such a despicable thing?

"Well then! This letter also proves that Ye Beimo still has rebellious intentions. Do you dare to ask the emperor to punish him?"

Ye Qiandai raised her eyebrows without blinking, and pleaded with Lu Shian again: "Ye Beimo is eyeing Lingjiang State with ulterior motives. I beg the emperor to strangle him to death!"

"You!" Ye Yuqing didn't expect that she would dare to say that, and was speechless for a moment.

Lu Shian frowned impatiently, no longer paying attention to their quarrel, and waved his hand and ordered: "Ye Baijiang colluded with the enemy and treason, his crime should be executed, and he is now in the death row, tomorrow..."

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and sighed sadly, "If I remember correctly, the day after tomorrow is his sixtieth birthday...

"Forget it, for the sake of our nephew-uncle relationship, let him celebrate his birthday before leaving.

"Put him in death row, and behead him in public three days later!"

"what--"

As soon as he finished speaking, they heard sharp cries. Ye Baijiang's family was in pain and fear, and they looked like crazy.

"Your Majesty~" Ye Qiandai held Lu Shian's arm and suggested, "Ye Baijiang committed treason twice, which is extremely abominable!

“Why not take him to the most prosperous market in the capital in a prison cart in three days and chop off his head in front of all the people in the capital.

"This will serve as a warning to others and deter the people from imitating others."

Lu Shian only thought about it for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Whatever you say, I'll do it."

Ye Yuqing was not happy when she said this. Her eyes were red and she angrily cursed: "Bitch! It's not enough that you took my father's life. You also want to humiliate him before he dies. You are so vicious!"

Ye Baijiang was also furious, glaring at Ye Qiandai with gnashing teeth, "Ye Qiandai! Just wait for me, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"Oh, Your Majesty, I'm so scared~" Ye Qiandai pretended to be panicked and threw herself into Lu Shian's arms, looking at them with provocation in her eyes.

Lu Shian patted her back to comfort her, and waved his hand impatiently to urge the servants: "Why are you still standing there? Follow my orders and take Ye Baijiang away!"

After saying this, the two guards ignored the crying and wailing that filled the room, and carried the limp Ye Baijiang out.

"Dad (Master)!" Ye Yuqing and Mu Zhengrong cried and tried to stop him, but were ruthlessly pulled away.

In an instant, they felt as if the sky above their heads had collapsed. How could words describe the horror and despair?

Ye Feiyan could no longer bear this intense stimulation. Her eyes went dark and her body collapsed.

"Mother!" Lu Shi'an and the others panicked and rushed to help.

At night, the sky was high and the dew was thick. The fragrant breeze blew the waves, and a crescent moon hung quietly in the southwest sky.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the earth like mist woven from hazy silver gauze, flashing a solemn and holy light on the bamboo tips and banana leaves, on the willows and painted bridges, and on the springs, rocks and trees.

Still behind the bizarre rockery, Ye Qiandai and Ye Beimo met secretly again.

Ye Beimo looked angry and reprimanded Ye Qiandai with lingering fear: "What's wrong with you? How could the letter Ye Baijiang sent to me be intercepted?

"Just when it seemed like it was going to succeed, Ye Baijiang was thrown into death row, and this prince was almost implicated!"

Ye Qiandai also looked annoyed, and explained to him: "Brother, please calm down. I didn't expect that someone like Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway.

"This morning, the emperor's jade pendant was stolen by some servant. The emperor guessed that the thief would leave the palace to sell the stolen goods, so he was furious and ordered people to guard the palace gate and strictly search the bodies of those who left the palace.

"I failed to persuade him, and I didn't expect it would be such a coincidence that Ye Baijiang sent someone out to deliver the letter at that time."

“Damn it!” Ye Beimo punched the rockery beside him, furious. “What should I do? All my previous efforts have been in vain!”

Ye Qiandai looked around and leaned close to him and whispered, "Brother, don't be discouraged. Ye Baijiang is not dead yet. It's not time to give up yet."

"What else can't be given up? Even if Ye Baijiang can't die, his intention to surrender to us has been made public. Lu Shian will not keep him by his side anymore, so what use is there for me to keep him?"

Ye Qiandai smiled and reminded him, "Brother, please think carefully. Although Ye Baijiang can no longer stay in the palace as our insider, he has been the prime minister of Lingjiang State for more than ten years.

"Let alone his strategies and talents, the things he possesses are priceless to us.

"For example, he knows all the archives of Lingjiang State's military, border defense, local officials, civil and military ministers, national records and various maps. He knows almost all the country's top secrets."

Ye Qiandai's wise eyes shone with cunning light, and she tempted him confidently, "Brother, after recuperation, father is preparing to attack Lingjiang again. Are you sure... you don't need that information?"

Ye Beimo was indeed moved by what he said, but he was in trouble again. He said anxiously: "Well, what you said sounds good, but the problem is that Ye Baijiang has been thrown into death row. How can this prince win him over?"

Ye Qiandai smiled faintly and whispered three words into his ear.

Ye Beimo's eyes suddenly widened, "Robbery of prisoner van?!"
