Longyang loves Qin

Chapter 58 Doubtful Li Si said

Because it was not the first time for Ye Yu to come here, he was familiar with at least the way to meet Li Si in the mansion, so the steward didn't continue to take him along.

After the steward turned and left, Ye Yu's expression immediately darkened.

Yes, he remembered, he had seen that servant before he left for the expedition, but it was gone after he came back from Fa Han.

This time is so sensitive that he subconsciously thought of a possibility.

"Pa——" Ye Yu patted his cheeks, forced a smile and said, "When did I get distracted..."

He walked towards where Li Si was, but there was always a hint of depression under that smile.

When Ye Yu walked in, Li Si was writing something on the wooden slip with his head down, completely oblivious to Ye Yu's arrival, "Tonggu?" Ye Yu called out.

Only then did Li Si come to his senses, put down the wooden slips, smiled, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you here at this time?"

Ye Yu's expression froze when he thought about what happened before, but he quickly came to his senses and replied, "I just went to the palace, and I'll drop by to see you."

Li Si seemed a little tired, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed Ye Yu's strangeness at that moment.He held the bamboo slips in his hand and replied, "I've checked part of the list you gave. If your majesty needs it, you can take these first." Li Si pointed to a stack of wooden slips on the table.

Ye Yu looked at the wooden slip he was pointing at, and asked blankly, "When will the king want this?"

Liston stopped, met his eyes, and said in astonishment: "Isn't this what the king needs?"

Ye Yu recalled what he said when he asked Li Si, "When did I say that?"

Li Si smiled and said: "Because you have never been involved in such matters, I thought you were entrusted by the king."

Ye Yu remembered that Li Si didn't ask anything that day, so it turned out to be a misunderstanding, he shook his head and said, "I'm not good at this matter, why would the king look for me instead of you?"

Li Si paused for a moment before saying, "Isn't looking for you the same as looking for me?"

"That's true."

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, and put the wooden slips in Ye Yu's hand on the stack, "It's what you want after all, let's see if it's useful."

Ye Yu looked at the charming handwriting in front of him, and at Li Si's tired expression, he pursed his lips, his heart suddenly softened, and the words he planned to say before coming here were all pressed in his throat, and there were two thoughts in his heart that made him He felt so ashamed, he just felt so dirty.

The wooden slips in front of him were full of characters he knew, but he couldn't read a word after reading it for a long time.

Li Si asked at this time, "Why do you suddenly want to investigate these people?"

Ye Yu was so entangled in his heart that he didn't dare to speak out, let alone answer Li Si.

Li Si finally noticed Ye Yu's strangeness, glanced at the list at hand, and asked, "These people are all officials in the same dynasty, did you offend someone?"

Although he already knew that the person that day was actually Lao Ai, it was hard to guarantee that the villain who plotted against him was not among them.

Ye Yu nodded, shook his head, and finally said, "I don't know either."

Li Si sighed weakly, "With your nature, even if you offend someone, you probably won't know about it if no one mentions it."

Ye Yu felt like he was being told, and moved his body uncomfortably.

Seeing his expression, Li Si showed a clear face, and said with a smile: "Si is not talented, but he knows a little bit about this journey, may Si help you as a staff member?"

Ye Yu hadn't figured it out yet, how could he have the face to tell Li Si right now, he tried to be vague, but he couldn't hide it from Li Si.

"It's just..." Ye Yu thought for a while and said, "I met a person with bad eyes earlier."

Li Si was skeptical, "I guess that's not all."

Ye Yu met Li Si's gaze, couldn't help turning his head away, and then replied, "I also just found out that that person's name is Lai Ai."

Li Si smiled in relief, "Then Lao Ai was castrated, so she naturally entered the palace to be the lowest servant, so it's normal for you to bump into her. If you don't like it, just find another place to let her hair fall."

His words fell into Ye Yu's ears, but they didn't have the effect of consoling him at all. On the contrary, Ye Yu's eyes revealed complicated expressions.

"That kind of gaze is not something castrated people can have." He said softly.

Lai Ai is very talented and proud of it. If this kind of person really loses his power, he will either become a lunatic and pervert, or become extremely inferior, but Lai Ai is neither crazy nor inferior. He even dares to miss Ye Yu all the time. .

What gave him such courage?How can eunuchs who have been castrated still have such obscene thoughts?

In connection with the historical records, he was sure that Lai Ai was not castrated, but was hanging out with the Queen Mother Zhao, and her ambition was growing day by day.

However, he had already guessed this possibility when he learned that Lao Ai's result was castration, and he wasn't that surprised, not even as surprised as he was when he heard Li Si's words.

Li Si's usual reassurance, whether it's tone of voice or even demeanor, was the same as usual, but Ye Yu thought it was a lie.

This was not because of Gan Luo's words before, but because he didn't think Li Si would know about Lao Ai.

At the beginning, the matter of Lai Ai was handled by Li Si single-handedly. At that time, Li Si hadn't moved out to open the house. No matter whether Lu Buwei hid it from him or not, it was impossible for him to know nothing about it.Having known each other for several years, Ye Yu was very aware of Li Si's prudence, and it was impossible for him not to ask questions after sending Lao Ai to execution.

Therefore, no matter whether Li Si participated in this matter with Lu Buwei the whole time, it is impossible for him not to know that Lai Ai was not castrated.

As for why a talented person who was protected by Lu Buwei pretended to be castrated and sent to the palace, it was impossible for Li Si to guess with his ingenuity.

Maybe Li Si has a reason?

Ye Yu thought subconsciously.

Although Ye Yu's words were a little soft, Li Si could hear them. His eyes flashed, and he said apologetically, "You know?"

Hearing Li Si's frank admission, Ye Yu was stunned.

Li Si sighed and said: "This matter has something to do with Lu Xiang, it's better for you not to know, just treat that Lai Ai as castrated, and don't show any surprise no matter who mentions it."

His words seemed to confirm Ye Yu's conjecture just now, dispelling part of Ye Yu's doubts.

At this time, an idea popped up in Ye Yu's mind, so he confronted his suspicions with Li Si. If the matter really had nothing to do with Li Si, proving his innocence would also make him feel better, so as not to affect the friendship between the two of them. No matter how angry Li Si was with him in the end, he was willing to bear it.

If it is true...

No.

There was still a voice in Ye Yu's mind subconsciously denying whether he and Li Si had any deep hatred or conflict of interest. Li Si didn't need to calculate him like this at all.

"Tonggu, I entrusted you to investigate people, but in fact, I want to find someone who plotted against me." Ye Yu summoned up his courage and said.

Li Si looked at him and asked with great interest, "Would you like to elaborate?"

"Naturally." Ye Yu took a deep breath and continued, "Do you remember that King Wei was willing to trade five cities to me more than two years ago?"

Liston paused, as if thinking about it, and replied, "I'm deeply impressed."

Ye Yu met his eyes and said, "I am related to King Wei's male favourite, Zhao, and he owes me favors, so he told me that King Wei would know that I was in Qin. Someone specially told King Wei that at first I I don't know who this person is, but I guess that most of them were under the same family as me at that time. Gan Xiang and Gan Luo also said that I had fallen into the trap of a villain, and the villain said he was a close person."

Li Si looked at him without saying a word, as if he was thinking along with his words, and couldn't help frowning again when he heard the second half of the sentence.

"Zhao said that the person who spread the news in Wei State was a peddler. Today I learned that the peddler was in Xianyang, and I confronted him just now. He told me his name..." Ye Yu took a long time before answering. on, "So I came to you."

Li Si fisted his hands, first he was startled and then he got up, annoyed, "Do you think that person is me?"

Li Si sat down again without tidying up his robes. He shook his head at Ye Yu and said with disappointment, "I know you are kind, but I don't think you would listen to other people's words so easily."

Ye Yu closed his eyes.

There was no smile on Li Si's face, and there was a sad look in his eyes, "Why should I plot against you? You are a military commander and I am a civil servant. If we rely on each other, we may be able to go higher and farther. Am I a fool who doesn't understand this? "

"Why should I plot against you?" He showed some annoyance, "I admit that I have concealed things from you about Lai Ai, but this fact is inconvenient for you to know."

"Why should I plot against you?" There was grief in his voice, "You think the house near the palace is really the opposite of who you are, who doesn't love the big house, but likes the small house? You think you Why is there only one satisfactory one after looking at the empty house? If I plot against you, why bother to turn around and ask someone to build it according to your liking?"

His eyes looked straight at Ye Yu, never flinching, full of sadness and anger after being suspected by a close friend.

Ye Yu sighed and was about to say something when he heard the voice of the steward.

The steward ran in hastily, with some sweat on his forehead, holding a long and narrow box, and said to Ye Yu, "General Ye, I brought you your things."

Ye Yu didn't expect to be in charge so quickly. He looked at the box with a complicated expression, and reached out to take it.

The box was placed on the table by him, but his hand was placed on it and he did not open it for a long time.
