The reborn prince's wife

After a tiring day, Liu Yun soon fell asleep, Dongfang Ye waited for her to fall asleep before leaving the room, let Ji Feng and Xue Han guard in the dark, and let Luo Chen send a team of people to hide in Linhua Palace , The palace is full of eyeliner, he has to deal with it carefully.

Turning to the nearby study room, Ling Xuan had been sitting and waiting for a long time, when he saw him coming, he nodded slightly at him: "The girl is asleep?"

"En." Dongfang Ye nodded, and sat opposite Ling Xuan. Seeing his solemn expression, he knew that the news he was going to say next might not be very good. He secretly thought that he might not be able to leave the capital in the short term.

In fact, he would agree to the emperor to stay in the palace, and he had his own reasons.

During the daytime banquet, Ji's family also attended, but they arrived late and were called to sit beside the emperor, plus the incident of an assassin happened later, Ji's family didn't have time to say hello to Liu Yun at all. , so I just missed it.

Now that they are temporarily staying in the palace, Liu Yun naturally has no time to go back to Ji's house, so he just gave him time to investigate some things, and it will not be too late to go back when he has some clues.

"The assassin is not from King An." Ling Xuan looked at Dongfang Ye expressionlessly, and told what he had found out.

Back then, Master Ling Xuan was like an exiled immortal, ignoring worldly affairs, but now Ling Xuan is dressed in black, his face is still calm, but he hides deep emotions, and he is completely different from him back then.

"Whose person?" Dongfang Ye had already guessed that it might not be King An's person, but his case filtered out other people, and he still couldn't think of anyone other than King An who would use the name of King An to act. Such a useless assassin really puzzled him.

"Concubine De." Ling Xuan revealed the answer, and as he wished, he saw surprise flashing across Dongfang Ye's face.

Concubine De has been married to the emperor for more than 20 years, and the fifth prince is Concubine De's son. She comes from a famous family, has a gentle temperament, and rarely even steps out of the palace gate. Of course, it wouldn't be too bad for her.

"Concubine De's natal family... is the Ji family." Dongfang Ye frowned. The Ji family was powerful, but generations of loyal and good ministers had never changed.

It's just that no matter how good it is, it's the past, and now the Ji family is becoming more and more restless.

In the past, when King An was around, the Ji family and King An were evenly matched. Now that King An is gone, the Ji family has suddenly become a thriving one. Naturally, the scenery is boundless.

The most important thing is that the Ji family has produced many queens and officials, but the Ji family has never produced a queen mother, and none of the emperors was born to a woman from the Ji family, which makes the Ji family always feel that there is a fly in the ointment.

But now, Concubine De's son is one of the candidates for the crown prince. How can the Ji family not be overwhelmed? The long-awaited prince's mother's family may be realized soon.

"You mean, those assassins were sent by the Ji family?" Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows. He had never dealt with the Ji family, but he had investigated the head of the Ji family when he was doing business before, so he was not a stupid person.

"I can only say that women in the harem don't have fuel-efficient lamps." Even though the concubine de concubine didn't even come out of the palace gate, she even dared to assassinate the emperor when she launched a ruthless attack. Although she didn't succeed, it at least proved her Also a cruel woman.

Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows and refused to comment on his comments. Ling Xuan didn't know much about the harem. Dongfang Ye often went to the palace to know better. The imperial palace is the place where kindness and kindness are most unacceptable, no matter how pure and naive In the end, a woman will become a woman full of scheming.

"Does the emperor know?" Dongfang Ye asked again. He didn't want the Ji family to be involved in these matters. After all, Liu Yun is the granddaughter of the Ji family. Mrs. Ji treated Liu Yun very well, otherwise It would not have been so many years to put pressure on the Mu family not to let her father continue, no matter what the old lady's purpose is, it is a good thing for Liu Yun.

"I don't know." Ling Xuan thought for a while, King Ling should also send someone to investigate, but he has already sent someone to mislead King Ling's people, so these things should not be tolerated so much.

"Cover it up." After Dongfang Ye finished speaking, he added, "Keep the evidence."

Maybe in the future, there will be times when it will be useful.

Ling Xuan obviously didn't expect that Dongfang Ye would have such a separation between public and private. He let the Ji family go for Liuyun, which really surprised Ling Xuan. He used to be a cold-blooded animal with no emotion at all. Not necessarily cold-blooded, he is extremely patient and kind to the people, but he will never easily let go of those who destroy the equality and fairness in his heart.

"Now the Ji family can't move." Needless to say, Ling Xuan also understands that the matter of King An has just passed. Although the foundation of the country has not been shaken, it still has a lot of influence on the court. Compared with King An, the Ji family has nothing to do with it. Inferior, it is really unnecessary to take another Ji's family at this time.

"The fifth prince's methods are vicious. I heard that the poisoning of the eldest prince was his fault a while ago, but he blamed the incident on the third prince. Now the emperor is very indifferent to the third prince, because there is no evidence, but he believes it in his heart. It was made by the third prince." Ling Xuan was actually aggrieved by the third prince, among the few princes, only the third prince still looks a bit like a crown prince, of course it would be even better if he could change his merciless style.

"Don't worry, who is Qi Xiuyu? If he wants to fight back, none of the fifth princes will be his opponent." Dongfang Ye waved his hand. He and the third prince Qi Xiuyu have a good friendship, and that guy is actually somewhat similar to Dongfang Jing. Similar, playful, suave, flamboyant, domineering, and reckless, not at all what a prince should be, but he just has no intention of power and throne, not really a fool.

But people like them live the happiest life.

"The fight between the princes is the emperor's family matter, we don't need to intervene, just pretend we don't know about it." Dongfang Ye glanced at Ling Xuan, expressing his attitude clearly.

King An's move was to seek to usurp the throne. In addition, King An's people have a vicious style, and the phenomenon of corruption and bribery is too serious, so he will intervene in it. He just wants to give the people a harmonious world, that's all .

As for the fights between the princes, it is the emperor's family background, who he wants to inherit the throne is also his business. As a subject, Dongfang Ye has no right to intervene in these matters, and he is not willing to intervene in these matters. He doesn't like it.

"Indeed." Ling Xuan nodded. After all, they are outsiders. There is no need to involve themselves in the battle for the throne. It is difficult to guess what the emperor is thinking. What's more, besides the five princes in the palace, the emperor who is high above him is even more important. It is obvious that the person outside the palace, I am afraid that there will be a competition for the position of the crown prince in the near future.

Dongfang Ye shrugged, he was not interested in these things, anyone could be the emperor, as long as he was a benevolent emperor, as long as he was willing to give the people peace and happiness.

"Who?" A figure was outside the door, Dongfang Ye narrowed his eyes, shouted sharply, and the palm had already been swept away.

"Ah..." With a tender cry, Dongfang Ye's face turned pale, and he rushed out.
