Chapter 334: The Death Of Huang Tai Hou
Xuan Ruiquan didn’t know that his elder cousin had already cursed him for becoming bald before he was thirty and was busy arresting all the rebels hiding in the imperial capital city. After the guests fled the imperial palace, news of Ye Cheng Xiang’s rebellion spread like wildfire in the imperial capital city. The news shocked everyone, and the whole city was in an uproar.
Those aristocratic families, ministers, and generals who had some relationship with Ye Tianchi quickly packed their bags and ran away. Unfortunately, Xie Yanghui and Jian Wu were already waiting for them at the four city gates.
With Jin Yi Army and Xie Army guarding the city gates and underground waterways, not even an ant or mosquito could leave the imperial capital city tonight. Without any effort, they were all arrested and sent to Dali Si for interrogation. When Xuan Ruiquan arrived, everything was over.
Early the next morning, Duan Yixin was awakened by the commotion outside. She opened her eyes and found herself sleeping in bed. She remembered waiting for Xuan Ruiquan in the courtyard. It seems that she accidentally fell asleep outside, and Xuan Ruiquan brought her in when he came back last night.
She yawned, put on her shoes, and went to wash up. Coming out of the side room used as a bathroom, Duan Yixin felt refreshed and completely awake. After changing her clothes and casually tying her hair, she left the bedroom.
When she opened the door, she noticed that the six maidservants were not around. Duan Yixin thought for a while and asked the young maidservant who was sweeping the courtyard.
"Girl, where are the other maidservants?"
The young maidservant stopped sweeping the ground and turned around. When she saw Duan Yixin coming, she saluted and said, "Good morning, Miss Duan. The other elder sisters have returned to the Jin Yi Army. Uncle Su said that he would send a group of maidservants and a momo to serve you here."
Duan Yixin nodded and heard shouting in the distance. The young maidservant saw her looking at the high wall of Yan Junwang’s Mansion and asked, "Miss Duan, do you want to go out?"
