NOVEL NEXT Chapter 294 Undercurrent surging
As soon as they entered the door, Mrs. Jiang grabbed Ye Qingran's sleeve and whispered: "You go first..."
She understood what Jiang meant and didn't want to drag her down.
If Concubine Xian starts to care about her now, they will all die here.
They were criminals to begin with, and no one would have any objection if she killed them. Ye Qingran could indeed escape, but she would never give up on her parents and brother just like that.
She shook her head and replied softly: "It's okay."
When they walked in, the guard exited, closed the door, and then stood guard outside the door with no intention of leaving.
"Third uncle, third aunt, you are finally back. I had a hard time looking for you..."
Before Ye Qingran could see clearly, Concubine Xian came over with red eyes and took Ms. Jiang's hand, "It's rare for us to meet again today. Come in and sit down quickly, have a sip of tea, and reminisce about the past."
She even put down her pretense as the Lord of the First Palace to talk to them, and she was so friendly that it was weird.
If Ye Qingran didn't know what she had done, he might have thought that she was really a kind person.
Mrs. Jiang was also a little surprised, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She sat down according to Concubine Xian's wishes, and then Ye Guodong was pulled to the side.
Ye Qingran was completely ignored by her and didn't even mean to look at her again.
Concubine Xian just asked Mr. Jiang to reminisce about the past, and asked how she was doing now. Ms. Jiang answered cautiously, and nothing went wrong.
After talking about this, Concubine Xian changed the subject and asked about her own parents, Ye Qingran's eldest uncle and aunt, and Mrs. Jiang's face became a little ugly.
On the way to exile, their whole family was not in harmony. Concubine Xian's parents even abandoned them, including the second family, in order to protect themselves. After the county magistrate whom Concubine Xian was angry with before was arrested, they were no longer together. No matter what happens to her parents, I'm afraid life won't be too easy.
When Concubine Xian asked, she must be testing them.
Ye Qingran and the others were able to find her even though they were so hidden, how could they not find her own parents?
Besides, if you are really worried, why don't you ask at the beginning, but ask after you have made some small talk to get closer?
It was obvious that Concubine Xian had bad intentions.
Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang did not take it lightly and said directly: "Brother and the others... died of illness on the road."
"what?!"
Concubine Xian covered her mouth and stood up in surprise. She even moved the stool behind her and almost lost her balance, but the maid on the side supported her.
"My condolences, I must know how difficult this journey of exile is."
"Is not likely to……"
But Concubine Xian still looked undeniable, and even Ye Guodong and Mrs. Jiang could see the clues.
She shed tears as soon as she closed her eyes, sat down again, and said while crying: "I have been with my parents, and I am also looking for my second uncle and you. I am just worried that something will happen to you on the road, and I am afraid that you will starve and freeze. , I didn’t expect that my parents... they had already gone..."
Ye Qingran's eyes almost turned black.
As expected of someone who has been in the palace for so long, his acting skills are so good that he can cry even if he wants to.
If you can even find this village, how can you not even know that your parents are dead? Is it possible that you are more interested in your parents than you are in them?
Ye Qingran looked around and saw that Ye Zhuoyu was not in this room. In this case, he probably didn't leave, but was just locked up somewhere else.
At this moment, she really wanted the investigation team to find out what had happened to Concubine Xian recently, and why she suddenly came to the village, but instead of arresting them, she came to pretend to have a relationship.
But the current situation is also obvious that she does not have this opportunity.
Not to mention returning to the Beijing Restaurant, I couldn't even step out of this door.
Before she could think of a way, Concubine Xian turned her attention to her. What should come will always come.
"We sisters may not have seen each other for a long time."
Concubine Xian looked at her with complicated eyes, but after wiping away the tears on her face, she put on a kind smile.
Ye Qingran said nothing, and the maid on the side spoke at the right time: "Our queen is talking to you."
Ye Qingran then raised his eyes and replied, "It's been a long time since we last met."
"My sister used to be a queen. She had such a noble status, but now she has only ended up like this. It's a pity."
Her tone at this time was not very restrained, it was full of ridicule.
Ye Qingran was not annoyed and smiled and said: "That was all in the past. Speaking of which, it was all thanks to my sister. If it weren't for my sister, I might have been trapped in the palace all my life, singing songs for the emperor. A spoiled canary."
Before Concubine Xian could speak, she continued, "Sister, I was Concubine Xian back then. Now, after all this time, I still have the same position. I guess my life in the palace is not so smooth, right? My sister has average means and cannot reach a high position. You don’t have to worry about being like me anymore, right?”
"You! How dare you speak to Nemiya like this?!"
Concubine Xian often fought with others in the palace, but these words coming out of Ye Qingran's mouth were particularly lethal to her, making her very angry.
"Now that the empress is still in a high position, why should she care about us commoners or even criminals?"
Mrs. Jiang was worried that Concubine Xian would actually do something murderous in her anger, so she had no choice but to speak up.
Concubine Xian didn't seem to be here to settle accounts today. After being interrupted, she didn't care anymore and stood up directly: "Today is just to reminisce about old times, so I won't stay here any longer."
After saying that, she got up and left with the people.
Ye Qingran thought she would let these guards stay here to watch them and not let them leave, but she actually took the guards away with her.
After confirming that they had left, Ye Qingran found Ye Zhuoyu who was staying in the house next door.
"She didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" she asked.
Ye Zhuoyu shook his head: "No, he just ordered us all to go to the house and not come out. He didn't say or do anything else."
"Then has she discovered the assassin team's martial arts?"
"Probably not. They didn't use force, so we weren't in a hurry to take action."
Ye Qingran breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
After saying that, she took out the jade whistle and blew it. After a while, Chu Qingyun flew over and landed in front of her.
"Concubine Xian is here," she said.
Chu Qingyun obviously didn't know about this, and was a little surprised: "Then you didn't encounter any danger, right?"
"Not yet, but that won't be the case in the future. I couldn't figure out her purpose today, but this place is definitely not safe. I hope you will take your parents to a safe place to hide first, and then we can discuss the next plan. .”
