The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 313 Difficult decision
"Well, this is Crane Crest Red. Seeing blood seals the throat, you drink it, and it will be a hundred." Xi Gongjue used to kill people with a sword, but now he has learned to use poison. It seems that he must use it when necessary. means.

Fang Hezhou took the white porcelain bottle and smiled slightly: "My lord, from now on... I will ask you and An Ran to take care of Yaoyao."

"En." Jue Nishinomiya felt uncomfortable hearing these words, so he just nodded slightly.

Fang Hezhou opened the porcelain bottle, drained it on his back, and then slowly slumped on the ground. The last scene that came to his mind was when he was selling paintings on the street for a living, and a stunning woman was busy around him. , Still shouting in his mouth: "Scholar, stinky scholar."

"Yaoyao, you...you want to be happy." Fang Hezhou murmured in a low voice.

Then Fang Hezhou slowly closed his eyes and stopped breathing...

"Take him away." Xi Gongjue knew that the concubine's people and Shen Bilan's people were going to inspect Fang Hezhou's body, and after the inspection, he was buried secretly.

When the emperor sent Gaifeng to the clan's mansion, the witnesses were all dead and unconvincing, and even Wang Taiyi's house was flooded, burning the whole family to death.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hai Feng went back and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, we acted too late this time, and those people are dead without evidence."

"It's too early to act. The murderer is too aware of my movements, so no matter when I send you there, they will kill the witnesses before you." The emperor seemed to have expected it.

"Then what should we do now?" Haifeng was a little worried.

After all, this time is not a trivial matter. The loss of Empress Zhaoyi's child is still young, but she is still in the cold palace under the charge of adultery. You must know that adultery with a concubine is a serious crime that will punish the nine clans.

Of course the emperor dare not take it lightly...

"At present, I have nothing to do. This time, I really underestimated them." The emperor sighed.

"The emperor suspects that the empress did it?" Gaifeng asked clearly.

"Is there anyone else but her, but... this time she seems to have an extra helper, because I have been secretly monitoring her people, it is impossible for her to send people to Yangzhou to do these tricks, and there may be a mysterious force appearing , maybe related to the purchase of ironware some time ago." The emperor analyzed.

"The emperor suspects that King Rui'an helped her?" Gai Feng was startled.

The emperor shook his head: "I'm afraid King Rui'an didn't intervene this time, and even if he was confused, he couldn't design An Ran's sister himself."

"Then... who is this force? It's terrible, Bianjing is getting more and more chaotic." Haifeng didn't smile like before, because he also realized that the danger was getting closer.

"It's hard to say. Even if I know what she did, I can't do anything to her. Now that the witnesses are all dead, I can only think of other ways." The emperor seems to be unable to cheer up, and he is really depressed.

"Your Majesty, which palace do you want to stay in tonight?" Eunuch Zhu's voice came from outside the door.

"I'm not going anywhere, for a while... I really want to go to Lenggong to see Yao'er." The emperor said slowly.

"Yes." Eunuch Zhu took the order and left.

"Feng, don't take it lightly. Continue to stare at the queen's people to see what their next move is." What the emperor is most worried about now is that the queen not only framed Ye Anyao's child, but also murdered her.

Just like Concubine Ning, it is impossible for him to believe that Concubine Ning committed suicide. The emperor is extremely intelligent, and after spending so long with Concubine Ning, how could he not understand Concubine Ning's thoughts.

So the emperor sent a blast to keep a close eye on the queen, and if there was any disturbance, he would immediately report to himself.

"Yes, that subordinate will leave first." After taking the order, Gale retreated.

Under the lamp of Eunuch Zhu, the emperor went to the cold palace to see Ye Anyao...

Cold Palace
Seeing the emperor, Ye Anyao immediately paid respects: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor."

"Yao'er, you don't need to be polite, you are weak, you need to rest more." The emperor stepped forward to help Ye Anyao.

This is the first time since she entered the palace, the emperor behaved very intimately with Ye Anyao, but he never thought that it was actually in the cold palace, it was really cold in the world.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ye Anyao seemed to have calmed down, not as excited as before.

"Yao'er, I'm here today just to tell you, don't worry, it's safe to wrong you for the time being in the cold palace these days, and I'm helping you investigate the ins and outs of the whole matter. You are innocent, and you will tell the world immediately, so you only need to rest here to take care of your body, and tell me what you need." The emperor said gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't need anything." Ye Anyao smiled faintly.

Ever since she entered the cold palace, Cai'er has come in to serve, and the food is the same as that in Fuyao Palace. She has not suffered any grievances, it's just that it's a little deserted here.

"Yao'er, I'm sorry for what happened this time, and I really want the child to be safe, but...?" The emperor hesitated to speak.

"Your majesty, don't talk about it. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's because the concubine is too emotional. If you listen to your words and confess your relatives with blood, maybe it won't be like this." Ye Anyao smiled wryly.

"Yao'er, think about it, there will be more children in the future, you are still young." The emperor didn't know how to comfort people, because when he said these words, he felt ridiculous. Ye Anyao was not the first victim. It's not the first time to comfort someone like this, Concubine Ning did it before, and so does Ye Zhaoyi now.

"Well, this concubine understands, Your Majesty, this concubine dares to ask... how is Fang Hezhou doing?" Although Ye Anyao didn't know why Fang Hezhou framed her, she knew that he must have some difficulties, so she wanted to know his clues.

The emperor was silent...

"Your Majesty... Is something wrong with him?" Seeing that the Emperor did not speak, Ye Anyao faintly had a bad premonition.

"Yao'er, don't get excited, Fanghezhou... is dead." The emperor decided to tell Ye Anyao the truth.

"What? He's dead?" A thunderbolt from the blue sky, Ye Anyao abruptly took two steps back, Fangfo suffered a severe blow.

"Yesterday, I sent people to find out the ins and outs of this matter, but when I went to the clan mansion, Fang Hezhou was already dead. The people in the dungeon said that he committed suicide by taking poison. gone."

"Impossible, Hezhou...he won't commit suicide. How could he die? I still have to ask him why he did this to me? How could he die?" Hearing the news of Fang Hezhou's death, Ye Anyao cried In a mess, he didn't care about the emperor in front of him.

"Yao'er, calm down."

"How can I be calm, how can I be calm, this liar, who clearly promised me to live a good life, how can he do this?" Ye Anyao had always hoped that Fang Hezhou would live a happy life, so when she heard the news of her death, she could only say that she was helpless. accept.

"Yao'er, in fact, you have always had him in your heart, haven't you?" the emperor asked sadly.

"Your Majesty, I have never forgotten him, but the child is really not his." Ye Anyao burst into tears.

"I know, I believe in the innocence." The emperor nodded.

"But... without him, what would I do, he is a big liar, a Fanghezhou liar." Ye Anyao collapsed on the ground, crying heartbroken.

The emperor sighed and said: "Yao'er, this is the end of the matter, so I won't hide anything anymore. Since you love Fanghezhou so much, why did you admit that the person above the blue bridge is you?"

Ye Anyao suddenly stopped crying, then raised her head to look at the emperor blankly: "You...you know everything?"

"I've always known it, and you should know it too. I know that I'm thinking about her, so why do I have to be brave? You're just delaying everyone's happiness, yours, mine, Fanghezhou's, and... ... hers." The emperor finally spoke out what he had been holding back for more than a year.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. It is the happiness of three people, only you, mine, and Hezhou's, without hers, because she... is very happy now." Ye Anyao said seriously.

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Yes, I have forgotten, she is very happy now, but why did you do that in the first place? Is it because of the position of imperial concubine?"

"Hehe, do you think it's possible? Do I care about being an imperial concubine?" Ye Anyao smiled contemptuously.

"Why is that?" This question has been entangled in the emperor's heart, he has always wanted to know, he often thought, if Ye Anyao hadn't done this at the beginning, he would not have given Ye Anran to Jue Xigong in a fit of anger, and it would not have changed. into today's situation.

"Because... I just want to protect her. If she was the one who entered the palace, then she is the one who lost the child now. She is still the one in the cold palace. She is my own sister. I must... protect her." Ye Anyao Clenching his fists tightly, he said firmly.

After saying these words, the emperor's heart was deeply shocked...

It was the first time he saw Ye Anyao like this, it turned out that she would sacrifice so much for Ye Anran, including her own happiness...

"Yao'er, you... really shocked me." The emperor said slowly, his eyes were extremely complicated. Maybe he regretted it. He shouldn't have messed up the love story because of Ye Anyao's decision at the beginning, and he shouldn't be so obvious. He didn't like Ye Anyao but named her Zhaoyi, so that she and her beloved would be close to each other.

But it's too late for the club now...it doesn't make any sense anymore.

"These are nothing. Hezhou is my life, and so is An Ran... Your Majesty, I have a merciless request from my concubine." Ye Anyao wiped away her tears, got up slowly and said.

"Say it, I owe you what you want now, as long as I have it, I will give it to you." The emperor said word by word.

"Your Majesty, if the concubine narrowly escapes death this time, the investigation is clear, and after avenging the child, then please the emperor remove the concubine from the position of Zhaoyi and let the concubine out of the palace. The concubine must guard the spirit of Fanghe Prefecture." Ye Anyao resolutely Said decisively.

The emperor thought for a moment, then nodded: "I promise you, after this catastrophe, I will allow you to return to Yangzhou. From now on, you will still be Ye Anyao, not my Zhaoyi."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Anyao knelt down excitedly to thank her.

"You don't need to thank me, it's what I owe you." After speaking, the emperor turned and left.

Ye Anyao seemed to see hope again. Although Hezhou died, she also got freedom, right?

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Ye Anyao said slowly: "Hezhou, from now on... I will take you back to Yangzhou, and we will die of old age in Yangzhou together, okay?"

She believed that Fang Hezhou would hear her words, because that was their agreement...

Bianjing Inn
Lord Xi sent someone from the killer hall to say: "Hongye, go to the palace and tell Jue that if you don't do it, Ye Anran won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."

"Yes." A woman in red disappeared into the night in a flash.
