Chapter 1649 - 1651: What Bad Luck
Ye Zi’an did not answer his question, after all, this matter was not suitable for exaggeration.
Prince Le’s eyes flickered when he saw Old Mu, "How is it that General Luo is here so early in the morning?"
"In response to Prince Le, I drank too much last night and stayed over here," then Old Mu continued to ask, "Why? Is Prince Le in charge of this investigation?"
"Yes, Father Emperor has ordered the fugitive to be captured and brought back, and only gave five days. I can’t help but feel anxious. Most places within the residence have been searched, except for Madam Ye’s room, but Madam Ye has repeatedly blocked us from searching, which makes me have to suspect there is a problem inside."
"Prince Le, don’t sugarcoat it. If your men enter slowly and wait until I come out, would I stop them? I’m still inside the room, and you dare to barge in. If they see something they shouldn’t, even gouging their eyes out or cutting off their tongues won’t make up for my loss."
Yang Chuxia, furious, thought in her heart that that fool must be chained up next time to prevent drawing attention.
"If that’s the case, Prince Le should leave for now, this matter will be reported to the Emperor later to see what he says." Old Mu glanced at the Imperial Army, snorted, "What kind of soldiers does one raise under such a person? With this kind of demeanor, can they still be the Imperial Army? I think it’s better they go home and fend for themselves."
A single sentence darkened Prince Le’s face, and also the face of the Imperial Army leader who came along.
Prince Le, seeing this, knew that no matter what, he couldn’t search the room today, otherwise these people would really fight with the Imperial Army, and he did not have the upper hand here. After thinking it over, he waved for his men to withdraw first.
After the Imperial Army withdrew outside to the courtyard, Prince Le approached Ye Zi’an and Yang Chuxia, suddenly smiled, "Good, very good, I hope you’re always this lucky."
"I also hope Prince Le won’t bring such clueless people next time, or else it won’t be as simple as being kicked out." Yang Chuxia, in her speech, was naturally not willing to show weakness.
Prince Le snorted coldly at these words and flicked his sleeve as he left.
"So has he officially stepped out into the public eye now?" Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes, ever since Prince Ning was deposed, the affairs that were under Prince Ning’s jurisdiction have all been handed to him to manage. Only then did some court ministers discover that Prince Le is not as incompetent as they thought," Old Mu said, shaking his head. This Prince Le, if he had been hiding his true nature all along, had hidden it well, as if he were two different people.
"What happened just now, wife?" Ye Zi’an then asked.
"I’ll tell you later."
With that, Yang Chuxia went back inside, tidied her hair, rearranged her clothes before coming out, Old Mu and Linhao had already gone to the dining room, while Ye Zi’an waited outside.
"What happened?" Seeing her come out, Ye Zi’an hurriedly asked.
"What else could it be, that madman probably climbed from below to the ladder, banging on the cover on the ladder, making a loud noise that could be heard from the doorway." Yang Chuxia paused and said, "We must move him, Prince Le is already keeping an eye on our residence, who knows if he will have someone sneak in to look for him while we’re not paying attention."
"Hmm, I’ll discuss it with Uncle."
"Unlucky, even in such a state of confusion, he’s still not well-behaved, climbing up the ladder," Yang Chuxia thought with frustration.
