Chapter 1647 - 1649: What’s Going On
Yang Chuxia originally thought the search last night would be the end of it.
Who knew that the next day, before she even opened her eyes, the Imperial Army raided again for another search.
And this time, it was led by Prince Le himself!
"Open the door, open the door! The Imperial Army is ordered to search for fugitives!"
Nobody knew how they got in, but they directly intruded right outside their bamboo courtyard.
"What’s going on? Didn’t they come last night? Why are they here again, and why have they come to our courtyard? Are the gatekeepers dead? Why didn’t they stop them?"
"Don’t worry, my lady. You tidy up a little, and I’ll go out to see what’s happening first."
Ye Zi’an said as he got up to dress.
"Fine, these people are really sick, aren’t they?"
Yang Chuxia cursed as she also prepared to get dressed.
However, Ye Zi’an was quicker. As she was grooming herself, she already heard Ye Zi’an speaking with Prince Le.
"Prince Le, what is the meaning of this? Searching for fugitives in our mansion early in the morning when you already searched last night. Or is it that His Highness Prince Le is convinced that our Prince An’s Mansion is hiding fugitives, so you come again and again?"
The anger Ye Zi’an had toward Prince Le had never dissipated, so naturally, his words were a bit harsh.
And in reality, Prince Le was indeed convinced that Prince Ning’s escape couldn’t be unrelated to them since someone from last night entered Prince An’s Mansion.
"Whether you are hiding them or not, I do not know, but a search will reveal the truth." Prince Le waved his hand and said, "Conduct the search!"
"Hold on!" Ye Zi’an thought of Yang Chuxia still inside, unsure if she had tidied up, and hurriedly stopped them.
But with just a command from Prince Le, a group of people paid no heed to Ye Zi’an’s words and kicked open the doors of each room.
Ye Zi’an’s face turned icy cold!
"I also hope that Prince An’s Mansion has nothing, otherwise, it would be hard for me to explain to Father Emperor. After all, Father Emperor holds Lord Ye in high esteem, and I also believe that Lord Ye wouldn’t do anything to disappoint Father Emperor."
Prince Le’s self-righteous words made Ye Zi’an feel increasingly uninterested; he didn’t bother to respond for a moment.
Prince Le was about to say more when suddenly two people flew out from inside and coincidentally landed right in front of Prince Le!
No need to look further; it was obvious they were his people! Moreover, all the Imperial Army members who stormed into the main house of the bamboo courtyard were kicked out one after another.
"What’s going on?" Prince Le asked angrily!
"I should be asking what’s going on, Prince Le!" Yang Chuxia, wearing a thin cloak, emerged from the house, utterly furious, her eyes nearly spitting fire, "Are you sure, Prince Le, that these are Imperial Army soldiers and not bandits from the countryside? What do you take our Prince An’s Mansion for? Come as you wish, leave as you wish, without regard for place, breaking in as you please? Let’s see who’s daring enough to search inside today!"
"Madam Ye, are you planning to rebel? Openly assaulting the Imperial Army, who gave you the nerve? Furthermore, I am under orders to execute my duties, yet Madam Ye stubbornly and baselessly obstructs us. I see Madam Ye no longer wishes to reside in Prince An’s Mansion." Prince Le was displeased, though inside, he couldn’t help but admire Yang Chuxia’s audacity.
"The virtues of Great Zhou gave me the courage of a bear, and the teachings of Great Zhou gave me the courage of a leopard."
"Are you alright, my lady?" Ye Zi’an stepped forward, seeing her hair was half-tied and draped in a cloak; he promptly kicked over a few people lying on the ground again with force, "Are you all blind and deaf? Didn’t I tell you to enter slowly, to enter slowly, each one of you rushing in like you’re in a hurry to be reincarnated. Are you truly here to search, or are you deliberately causing trouble at my house?"
