NOVEL NEXT Chapter 310 Secret attack
Seeing that Ye Guodong really had no intention of taking military power again, the emperor just gave him a warning and left.
For him, killing is not difficult, but there are too many things to deal with later, which is really troublesome. It is better to look at the situation and confirm that there are no follow-up things before considering killing directly.
On the way back to Beijing, Concubine Xian was a little dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, if you let them go like this, wouldn't it be too easy for them? They also have to serve in exile, and they just came back like this because they didn't take your Majesty seriously. Plus, that If Jiang's crime of deceiving the emperor is not dealt with properly, wouldn't it be lawless in the future?"
"Let them go. He used to be a general and held military power. When I first came to the throne, I couldn't suppress him. In addition, Ye Qingran took the position of queen. The Ye family was too powerful, so we had to deal with them. .”
The emperor looked ahead, "But it's different now. I have already secured the throne, and the Ye family is no longer powerful and cannot make any waves, so why bother to execute them in vain?"
Concubine Xian wanted to say something more, but the emperor didn't seem to want to hear it and interrupted her directly.
"Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious. What's more, the Ye family was not a worry-free master when they were able to do that. As long as they can live in peace now, what if I let them go?"
He stopped and looked at Concubine Xian, "Don't forget, your surname is Ye. If we really want to punish them according to the charges you said, you can't run away."
After saying that, he continued to move forward, leaving the stunned Concubine Xian where she was.
After returning to the palace, Concubine Xian also adjusted her mentality.
No matter what, she was just a concubine. There was always no shortage of beauties in the emperor's harem, let alone powerful women in the family. The value of those people was much higher than hers.
She survived in this harem only by relying on the emperor's affection for her. The rest was just a tool to restrict and monitor the Ye family.
So she had no right to lose her temper with him, let alone ask for anything. She could only smile and invite him to share dinner after being treated like this by him.
"Your Majesty, you must be tired after traveling today. Why don't you go to Ningshui Palace for dinner later? I asked my concubine to stew soup in the small kitchen. It can relieve your fatigue."
"No need, there are still political matters to be busy with today, you can drink it yourself."
The emperor just left this sentence and let her leave, without even intending to let her say another word.
Concubine Xian looked a little ugly, but she still saluted and said, "Yes, I will leave."
After returning to the palace, she smashed the vase at hand into pieces, which frightened the palace maids on the side to kneel down and bow their heads, shrinking and not daring to make a sound.
Only Chuntao, the personal palace maid, tried to persuade her: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Maybe Your Majesty is really busy with official business and didn't miss it on purpose."
Concubine Xian glared at her: "What do you know? He just doesn't want to see me, just because my surname is Ye and I am from the Ye family. But so what if I am from the Ye family? I didn't do those things, and now they are following me when they come back. It doesn't matter to me, why should you blame everything on me?"
As she spoke, she dropped another vase.
The crisp sound was particularly clear in the quiet room. The water in the vase splashed into the brazier and turned into water vapor in an instant.
After being silent for a while, Chuntao finally spoke tentatively: "Then it would be better to let all the Ye family disappear, so that I don't have to worry about the Ye family anymore."
Fortunately, Concubine Xian did not get angry after hearing these words. Instead, she turned to look at her and asked: "Do you have any good ideas? Your Majesty has no intention of taking their lives now. If I do, the next one may die." It’s me.”
Chuntao understood the meaning of her words and wanted to do something, but not let the Ye family die. Isn't this simple?
"Mother, although we can't kill you, we can still use our hands and feet."
Chuntao approached her and lowered her voice, "What they care about most right now should be the restaurant. Right now, Ye Qingran is not here, and neither is the prince. Those two old guys and Ye Zhuoyu will definitely not be able to handle anything. We At once……"
She quietly told Concubine Xian her plan, and Concubine Xian smiled: "Yes, she is indeed my personal maid. She is just smarter than others. If this can be done, your reward will be indispensable."
"Thank you, Madam. Chuntao doesn't ask for rewards, she just wants to be able to help your Majesty share her worries."
Concubine Xian patted her shoulder and said, "Go and do it."
"Yes."
After the emperor and Concubine Xian left, Ye Guodong and Mrs. Jiang were still worried for several days, fearing that they would do something secretly, but after a few days they didn't hear anything, so they felt a little relieved.
After Ye Zhuoyu heard these things, he still planned to let the assassin team operate normally. At least he couldn't relax on patrols, otherwise he would die inexplicably one day if he couldn't protect everything.
Before they could feel at ease for a few days, something happened in the restaurant.
Originally, it was just someone who had a bad stomach and wanted to blackmail the restaurant and make the restaurant pay, but the shopkeeper used some tricks to solve the problem.
But in the next few days, more and more people came here and complained of stomach discomfort after eating.
One person said that it might just be blackmail, but everyone who had been here said that there must be something wrong with the kitchen.
Ye Guodong made a special trip back to Beijing for this matter and went to the restaurant to inquire about the situation.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: "Everything was fine the past few days, but I don't know why, but it suddenly became like this these days."
"Have you not checked the ingredients and utensils in the kitchen?"
There must be something fishy in it, but the investigation hadn't started yet, so Ye Guodong didn't dare to draw a conclusion.
The shopkeeper sighed: "Of course I checked, but nothing was found. I even tasted the food they cooked, and it was fine. But something happened after serving it to the customers. This... who can do this? Can you explain clearly?"
"Didn't those who felt unwell go to the medical clinic? Has the problem been found out?"
"I just said that the food was unclean and told me not to eat it in the future...As a result, almost all the guests in our restaurant will stop coming. If this continues, sooner or later the restaurant will be closed."
After hearing this, Ye Guodong frowned slightly: "Don't worry, the restaurant will be closed for a few days, and we will open it again after the matter is found out. We will just say that we are making rectifications."
This is the safest way. If this trend continues, I'm afraid it will be shut down by the government if it gets too big.
Not long after Ye Qingran left, the restaurant was handed over to him, so he couldn't just mess it up.
After receiving the order, the shopkeeper immediately went to do it. When the people nearby saw them closing the door, they all started talking.
Some people who didn't believe in evil were convinced when they saw them closing their doors.
