Chapter 261
After Ye Wenyu left, the servants also retreated, and there were only three of them left in the huge room.

Liu Yi'an was lying on Ye Guichen's shoulder, apparently still not recovered from the shock just now, and was very disturbed.

Ye Guichen coaxed him softly, and asked Lian Yi to take him back to rest.

Liu Yi'an followed Lian Yi obediently.

As soon as the child left, Ye Guichen also turned around and prepared to leave.

"My lord..." Liu Qingli chased after him, "Can we have a chat?"

Seeing that Ye Guichen was willing to defend herself in front of Ye Wenyu before, Liu Qingli thought that Ye Guichen had already forgiven her, so she wanted to take this opportunity to apologize to him.

Unexpectedly, Ye Guichen's face was still cold, and he said expressionlessly: "This king has nothing to talk to you about."

Liu Qingli suddenly turned pale with disappointment.

The two were so close, but Ye Guichen didn't even want to look back, leaving her with a very indifferent back.

Liu Qingli only felt sad, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, I admit that at the beginning, I did it for An'an..."

She had only spoken halfway, and Ye Guichen left directly, really didn't want to hear a word from her.

Liu Qingli gritted her teeth, she couldn't hold back the sourness and sadness in her heart, her eyes were red.

She finally understood that Ye Guichen didn't say good things to Ye Wenyu just because of her, he just didn't want Liu Yi'an to be taken away.

It's her who is acting affectionate, this time she went too far, how could Ye Guichen forgive her so easily...

Liu Qingli was sad alone, and couldn't help but think of the sweetness of these days, but in just one day, Ye Guichen's tenderness and pampering had become a luxury in the past.

Liu Qingli regretted that she trusted Cheng Niang credulously, and even more regretted listening to Cheng Niang's words and taking advantage of Ye Guichen.

But it's useless to regret now, what should she do?
On the other hand, Ye Guichen has not always been caught in the entanglement of these children's personal affairs.

He still has a lot of things to deal with, so he can only suppress all the sadness and grief for the time being.

He asked people to conceal the news of Cheng Niang's death, and waited for the people behind Cheng Niang to show their feet.

Soon, this opportunity came.

In the court hall, everyone was discussing the theft of the defense map.

These ministers didn't know that the stolen defense map was fake, and they all attacked Ye Guichen.

A senior official who had always been against Ye Guichen stood up and asked in public: "King Zhenxi, seeing that the five-day period given to you by His Majesty has passed, have you found this defense plan?"

Ye Guichen stood with his hands behind his back, without expressing his expression, he replied extremely calmly and calmly: "Not yet."

The senior official suddenly smiled ironically: "Heh, look at it, everyone, this is the attitude of King Zhenxi, who lost such an important defense map, and still looks confident. He can be so confident without finding the map. lawless."

As soon as these words came out, countless people echoed.

Just as Qi Rufeng wanted to stand up and speak for Ye Guichen, Ye Guichen winked and forced him back.

Fearing that his plan would be ruined, Qi Rufeng could only wait obediently.

The prince and the other princes didn't say anything, they stood quietly, waiting for the attitude of the emperor above.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Zhou Yongxu hurried back from the outside holding a rectangular box in his hand.

As soon as he came, he held the box in both hands and knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I am late."

The emperor, who had been lazy all this time, regained some energy in an instant.

He sat up slightly, raised his eyes slowly, and stared at the things in Zhou Yongxu's hands: "Zhou Aiqing get up first, what are you holding in your hands?"

Before Zhou Yongyong replied, he glanced at Ye Guichen, and then said proudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, what I hold in my hand is the defense map that has been lost for many days, and I have no choice but to find this map." It's late."

A dark light flashed in Ye Guichen's eyes, and his expression was extremely cold.

The court hall became lively again because of Zhou Yongxu's words.

"The defense map has been found. Master Zhou is indeed the emperor's favorite Jing Zhaoyin, and he is really capable!"

"Master Zhou is still amazing."

Hearing this complimenting voice, Zhou Yongxu was even more proud, and it was very useful.

As many people praised Zhou Yongxu, more people were unhappy with Ye Guichen, but they didn't say it clearly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Guichen sneered, and asked unhurriedly: "I don't understand something, Lord Zhou."

Zhou Yongxu straightened his back, and now he seemed to have a little more confidence even talking to Ye Guichen, and said very proudly: "My lord, please speak."

Ye Guichen stared at him coldly: "Where did Lord Zhou find this defense map?"

After the incident, Ye Guichen suspected many people, but he never expected that the person behind Chengniang's plan would be Zhou Yongxu, who is usually the most timid and fearful.

The reason why Zhou Yongxu was able to secure the position of Jing Zhaoyin was not his ability to do actual performance, but his ability to flatter.

Unexpectedly, such a timid person almost gave him a fatal blow, Ye Guichen really found it quite inconceivable.

Zhou Yongxu said proudly: "I found this defense plan on a spy of Guiyun Kingdom."

Hearing that Guiyun Kingdom was actually involved in this matter, the faces of the ministers became serious.

There are also people who have already had terrible speculations in their hearts, suspecting that Ye Guichen is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and deliberately lost the defense map.

But before the situation is clear, no one dares to talk nonsense.

In the court hall, only Zhou Yongxu was talking non-stop: "After the defense map was lost, I wondered if this matter might have something to do with the people of Guiyun Kingdom, so I have been sending people to pay attention to the situation of entering and leaving the city in recent days."

"Early this morning, I heard a report from the people below that someone refused to cooperate with the search and wanted to forcibly break out of the city gate."

"I felt something was wrong. I brought people over to catch them for interrogation, and found the defense map!"

After he finished speaking, Ye Guichen immediately asked, "Where are the spies of Guiyun Kingdom?"

Zhou Yongxu was clearly prepared, and he said calmly: "The spies saw that the incident was exposed, and committed suicide on the spot. The body is now in Jing Zhaoyin. If the prince doesn't believe it, he can send someone to check."

Ye Guichen looked at him who was determined to win, and smiled coldly, this person is really capable.

After hearing Zhou Yongxu's words, all the ministers clamored for Ye Guichen to give an explanation.

Why did the defense plan fall into the hands of Guiyun's spies, why Ye Guichen didn't find any clues for five days, did he intentionally let go of Guiyun's spies!
Questions one after another hit Ye Guichen.

Some people took the opportunity to get the emperor to condemn Ye Guichen, saying that he not only failed to supervise, but also searched laxly, which almost made a big mistake.

Ye Guichen quietly watched the ministers who spoke for Zhou Yongxu, his face was slightly cold.
