Chapter 318
Walking into Chunxiao Pavilion, Ye Anran had already woken up, leaning on the bed, with a dull expression and an embarrassing expression.

"Anran." Xi Gongjue softly called out distressedly.

Ye Anran raised her head and wanted to speak, but found that there was no sound in her throat: "#¥%"

"Anran, don't talk, I know you're not feeling well, just listen to me." Nishi Gongjue walked over immediately and grabbed Ye Anran's hand.

Ye Anran nodded with difficulty...

"An Ran, listen to me, you have to be strong, you know? I don't want anything to happen to you, do you remember we swore under the moon? I know your sister is very important to you, but she is no longer, since she If we choose to follow Fang Hezhou, we should bless her and pursue our own happiness, right? You must cheer up and don’t leave me behind, you know?” Xi Gongjue said emotionally, and hugged Ye Anran, She was afraid that she would disappear from sight by accident.

Ye Anran still didn't speak, she just kept crying...

Her heart is really tangled, her sister's death is a fatal blow to her, but she still has Jue, they love each other so much, she should cheer up, right?

Thinking of this, Ye Anran hugged Nishinomiya-jue tightly, and then burst into tears. Although her voice was already hoarse, she still wanted to release it once.

Xi Gongjue didn't have the courage to tell her that the imperial edict issued by the queen mother was to confiscate the Ye family. He was afraid that she would not be able to bear the blow, and said that misfortunes never come singly. As expected, even the heavens bullied her like this.

"Anran, you are well, I will take you back to Yangzhou to take care of yourself in a few days, okay? After a few months, I will take care of the matter here and pick you up." Xi Gongjue is actually reluctant to leave Ye Anran, But there is no way, the queen mother's will clearly stated that Ye Anran is already a concubine, and he promised his mother and concubine to marry Liu Qingqing, so these must be fulfilled.

But if An Ran found out, he must be very sad, so he wanted to send An Ran away for a few months, and come back when everything was settled.

Ye Anran just nodded, her expression was already numb, as if she couldn't see any expression of grief.

After comforting Ye Anran, Jue Xigong left the palace and asked Xiaorong to take good care of the princess before leaving.

A few days later, Xiao Rong saw that her master's complexion was still not good, and she wanted to go out to buy medicine, but Xiu Lei pulled her aside just as she went out...

"Xiao Rong, something serious happened." Thunder God Xiu said mysteriously.

"What's wrong?" Xiaorong was stunned for a moment.

"Something happened to your Ye family in Yangzhou. Fortunately, you are no longer in Yangzhou, otherwise your life would be in danger." Xiu Lei came back from a trip, and when he heard the news that Ye's family had been ransacked, he immediately planned to tell Xiao Rong.

"Don't talk nonsense, what big things can happen to our Ye family?" Xiaorong obviously didn't believe it. The death of the eldest lady had already hit her hard enough. She really couldn't bear too much torture, so her first feeling was to repair Ray was joking.

"Really, I won't lie to you, I just came back from work outside and read the court's announcement." Xiu Lei said solemnly.

"What announcement?" Xiao Rong began to panic.

"Yesterday, your Yangzhou Ye family was ransacked and beheaded. Dozens of members died, and all the family property was confiscated. It is said that there are more than 120 million taels, and the tea house has also been taken over by the court." Xiu Lei said every word. Said.

Suddenly, there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Xiao Rong staggered and felt that he was about to faint, but fortunately, he was supported by Xiu Lei.

"Are you okay?" Xiu Lei looked at Xiao Rong worriedly.

"You're lying, it's impossible." Xiao Rong roared.

"Look, I told you, if you still don't believe me, go out and see the notice yourself. I heard that this time it was the empress dowager's intention, and I heard that even the princess would be implicated. The queen mother had a falling out, but in the end she kept the concubine, so I said, it is the most correct choice in this life for the concubine to choose the prince, you know?" Xiu Lei has been with Jue Xigong for many years, so he naturally thinks that Jue Xigong is the best man.

"I don't believe it, it's impossible, master and wife are so nice, how could it be?" Xiao Rong's face was extremely ugly, and she shook her head frequently to express her disbelief.

"Forget it, if you don't believe me, go out and see for yourself, but don't let the princess know about this, the prince said not to tell the princess, for fear that she won't be able to withstand this blow, the princess is not in good health...?" Xiu Lei Before he finished speaking, Xiao Rong rushed out in a stride.

"Hey, Xiao Rong, why are you going?" Xiu Lei asked behind him.

But Xiao Rong didn't wait for Xiao Rong's answer, so Xiao Rong naturally didn't believe it. It is impossible to just listen to Xiu Lei's one-sided words for such a big matter, so he ran out of the palace to see the notice.

At this time, Nie Tian came out from the wing room: "What did you tell Xiao Rong?"

"She... I just told her about the Ye family." Xiu Lei scratched his head.

"Stupid, how can you tell Xiao Rong, if Xiao Rong knows, then the princess will know too?" Nie Tian was obviously dissatisfied, and blamed Xiu Lei for talking too fast.

"I don't think that she will know sooner or later, it's better to say it now, and I repeatedly asked not to tell the princess, it's okay, I don't think Xiao Rong is that stupid." Xiu Lei explained.

"In short, if the concubine finds out, if something unexpected happens, and the Lord blames it, you will be miserable." After modifying this sentence, Nie Tian left angrily.

In fact, he also knew that Xiu Lei told her the news to please Xiao Rong, but it didn't matter, now that the Ye family is in such a tragic situation, can Xiao Rong feel better?

Sure enough, after Xiao Rong came back, she secretly ran into the wing room and cried for a day, her eyes were red and swollen from crying...

at dusk
Xiao Guang came to pour tea for Ye Anran, Ye Anran asked hoarsely, "Where is Xiao Rong?"

"Go back to Princess Wang, Xiaorong... she is not feeling well, she is resting in the wing room, and if there is anything to do, I can tell my servants to do it." Xiao Guang naturally knew about it, and said falteringly.

"Oh." Ye Anran said casually, and then picked up the teacup to drink tea.

In the middle of the night, after Xiao Guang made sure that the concubine was asleep, he got up and came out to find Xiao Rong: "Xiao Rong, the concubine is already asleep, if you want to burn paper for your master and wife, hurry up."

"En." Xiao Rong's eyes were swollen, and she secretly took out a lot of gold and silver ingots she bought. For Xiao Rong, the Ye family is her benefactor. If there is no Ye family's shelter, she would have been sold into a brothel For so many years, she has provided her with delicious food and drink in the Ye family. She has become a member of the Ye family. Don't dare to be too obvious, for fear that the concubine and master will see the clues.

So even burning paper has to be sneaky...

Xiao Rong wiped away her tears, and in a small corner behind the palace with Xiao Guang, they started to light the gold ingots and paper money, crying and said: "Master, madam, let's go all the way, with you, Miss Huangquan road I won't be lonely anymore."

"Xiao Rong, who are you burning paper for?" A desolate and hoarse voice sounded.

Xiao Rong and Xiao Guang were startled, and when they looked back, it turned out to be the concubine, Xiao Rong's expression changed drastically: "No...it's nothing, my lord, don't think too much about it."

"Who the hell?" Although Ye Anran looked calm on the surface these past few days, Ye Anran was actually panicked inside, as if something bad was about to happen.

She didn't see Xiao Rong all day today, so she felt something was wrong, so she pretended to be asleep at night, tricked Xiao Guang, followed them here, and when she saw Xiao Rong burning paper, she couldn't help but ran out to question.

Now she really can't stand a little blow...

"Princess and master, it's cold outside, you should go back first, this servant is just... just seeing off the eldest lady." Xiao Rong lied.

But Ye Anran is not so easy to deceive, walked over a few steps, took advantage of Xiaorong's inattention, picked up a stack of paper money, it was written on it, master Ye Tong and his wife will accept it.

In ancient times, there was a custom of burning paper money for dead relatives and friends, that is, they must write their names when burning, because they feel that there are many ghosts in the underworld, and they are afraid that their relatives will not receive it. This form is a bit like sending letters today. Same.

Seeing his parents' names, Ye Anran widened his eyes and asked, "Why did you write my parents' names?"

"Princess and master...servant...?" Xiao Rong looked at Ye Anran with some fear, her voice trembling extremely.

"Tell me, why did you write my parents' names?" Ye Anran shouted heartbreakingly.

"Princess and master, slave... you have to hold on, the master and madam are... not anymore." After saying this, Xiao Rong couldn't hold back, and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Xiao Guang also wiped his tears aside, feeling that what happened to the concubine was really terrible. In less than seven days, my sister, parents, and dearest people passed away one after another. This may be something that no one can bear. blow.

"What? You...are saying it again." Ye Anran killed it immediately.

"Princess and master, servants and servants just found out. Today... after reading the announcement, the queen mother has ordered the whole family of our Ye family to be executed. The master and wife are... gone, and our Ye family's tea house has also been confiscated." Because Rong didn't believe Xiu Lei's words, he ran out to read the announcement, and it turned out that it was exactly what Xiu Lei said.

After Fang Hezhou's death, the emperor changed the magistrate of Yangzhou. The first major thing the new magistrate did was to confiscate the rich and powerful Ye family and confiscate all their property.

"Chop all over the house?" Ye Anran repeated foolishly.

"Master, you have to hold on, you can't be troubled anymore, you are the only heir to the Ye family." Xiao Rong cried.

"I'm the only one in the Ye family?" Ye Anran repeated softly, then raised her head to the sky and laughed.

Xiaoguang and Xiaorong laughed so hard that their hair stood on end...

"Hahaha, God, you are really eye-opening. What are you dissatisfied with? Just come here alone. Why torture my family? What's wrong with them? You took away my dearest person just to break Me, don’t you? You blind God, I, Ye Anran, just don’t believe in fate, I want to find them all, even if they are in the underworld, I want to be with them.” After saying this, Ye Anran turned around just run.

Xiao Guang and Xiao Rong immediately followed behind: "My lord, where are you going?"

Ye Anran ran very fast, she ran all the way out of the gate of the palace, looking at the vermilion gate, she smiled desperately, and then bumped into it.

"Second miss, don't want it." Xiao Rong also didn't care about calling the concubine master, and shouted in fear.

But it was too late, Ye Anran had already exhausted all her strength and slammed her head against the iron gate, because she believed that if she hit it, she would be free, and she would be able to see her sister and parents.
