Chapter 192, First Corrupt Official Chen Chengsi
"Your daughter is having a lot of fun," Ji Xiao said in a low voice.
Ye Xiumu didn't remove his mask, his voice sounding cheerful, "It's good that she's satisfied."
Ye Yaoyao only stopped kicking after she stopped hearing Chen Guojiu's voice and kicked him twice more.
"Little sister, are your arms tired?" Ye Li'an asked with a smile.
"It was alright, it was a very enjoyable game."
"So, after beating him up, what should we do with him afterwards?"
Ye Xiumu and Ye Li'an each had their own thoughts, but they both looked at Ye Yaoyao.
"Hehe, this lecherous bastard has ruined people by opening the Peony Pavilion. We'll strip him naked and hang him on the city wall later."
[Let the entire city see that even the emperor's brother-in-law has lost all face and dignity.]
"Okay! Let's do it."
"You still have questions to ask."
Ye Yaoyao reached out to untie the sack, took two pills, and fed them to Chen Chengsi by pinching his chin.
Several acupuncture needles were inserted, but Chen Chengsi still hadn't woken up. Ye Yaoyao asked:
"Who are the parents of Chen Chengsi and Liu Yunshu's triplets?"
Ye Xiumu and Ye Li'an's hearts were in their throats once again.
"do not know."
"How could you not know?" Ye Yaoyao was so angry that she slapped him twice more.
"When Liu Yunshu was sent to the bridal chamber, there was already someone lying on the bed when I arrived. The candlelight had been extinguished, and I couldn't see clearly that the person wasn't Liu Yunshu."
"Then who is she?"
"Xue Ruoxue".
So that's how Xue Ruoxue and Chen Chengsi started having an affair.
The three looked at each other for a while, wondering where Liu Yunshu had gone.
"Have you found out where Liu Yunshu is?"
"The next day, she was found in the guest room of the Ye family's house. She had been drugged. The plan was so good, but I don't know which bastard got to benefit from it."
"Luckily it wasn't you, you bastard." Ye Yaoyao punched him on the head, and Chen Chengsi completely passed out.
[After that, Ye Mian thought he had succeeded. At first, he thought the triplets were Chen Chengsi's children.]
It wasn't until after the child's one-month celebration that, seeing Chen Chengsi's cold attitude, she asked him about it, and he denied that the child was his.
Ye Mian arrived here unaware that the person who entered the bridal chamber with his mother that night was Xue Ruoxue.
The alleyway returned to silence, and the triplets' origins remained a mystery.
Ye Xiumu ordered his guards to take the person away.
"Let's go back and have our meal."
At night, Ye Yaoyao was writing calligraphy in her room.
"This should be legible!" he muttered to himself, looking at the handwriting, which was slightly less messy than his previous prescriptions.
"Chen Chengsi, the most treacherous minister of the Qin Dynasty," Qin Jingyu's voice rang out.
"Handsome man, you've arrived."
"I heard you've gotten quite good at wielding that stick lately."
"Haha, you really can hide anything from me."
"Your actions are becoming increasingly audacious. This will surely cause a huge uproar tomorrow, and the Emperor will investigate thoroughly."
"Don't worry, you're here." Ye Yaoyao said naturally, putting away the two pieces of paper.
Qin Jingyu laughed, "Okay, I'll protect you if anything happens."
"Haha! It's good that there's still you, the emperor's thorn in his side."
"Would I stop protecting you just because I'm a thorn in your side?" Qin Jingyu affectionately pinched her cheek.
"Of course not!"
"However, there is still someone in the capital who can protect you."
"Who!"
"Your uncle."
"Oh right! The Prince Ding's residence is very special. Is there some secret behind it?"
"Yes! It concerns a royal rumor that Prince Ding's lineage is actually the direct line of the royal family."
"Why do the direct descendants prefer being emperors to monks?"
"Emperor Taizu gained the world through military force, and the crown prince was born with a Buddhist nature. At that time, the world had experienced war, and the next emperor needed a benevolent ruler."
"This crown prince never even got to sit on the throne; he went and became a monk."
"Yes! He does have the ability to foresee the future, but he once predicted that the Heavenly Kingdom would face annihilation."
"What does that have to do with each of the previous Prince Ding?"
"It is said that he left something behind, and each successive King Ding guards the Kingdom of Tianlin."
Although she didn't know if it was true or not, Ye Yaoyao agreed with the crown prince's actions.
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, every emperor has been careful not to touch this direct lineage, and they even treat them with respect. This ancestor was truly wise."
"The protection of Tianlin Kingdom is indeed a fact, and all emperors throughout history have known about it."
"Then you know?"
"Perhaps I've guessed something, related to dragons..."
Ye Yaoyao reached out and crossed her arms to stop him from continuing.
"Hey! I'd better not know that."
Qin Jingyu laughed, "This matter is mysterious, but it's not that scary."
"What if I know too much and get myself into trouble? I don't want to cause trouble for myself for no reason."
At this moment, Ye Yaoyao had no idea that Prince Ding would come looking for her in the future.
"Prince Ding is tasked with protecting the Tianlin Kingdom, so why didn't he intervene in the internal strife within the royal family?"
Ye Yaoyao couldn't understand why the Prince Ding's Mansion remained silent after the late emperor's death and the princes' coup attempt.
“As long as it does not endanger the country and the people, and does not lose the support of the people, Prince Ding will not care. However, if the reigning emperor is tyrannical, loses the support of the people, and kills loyal ministers, Prince Ding’s mansion will gather forces to replace the emperor.”
"No wonder Tianlin Kingdom has a history of over a thousand years and is still so prosperous. It turns out that there is a Prince Ding overseeing each generation. My uncle's position is really awesome."
"Hmm!" Qin Jingyu took away the words Ye Yaoyao had written.
"Get some rest early, you'll be busy tomorrow."
The next day, when it was time to open the city gates, many people outside the city were already waiting at the gates, but the gates remained closed for a while.
Did they say yesterday that the city gates would be closed?
"No!"
"My home is far away, and I've come all this way, I don't want to have made a wasted trip!"
"It's not easy for me to come all this way. Everyone, knock on the door and see if the official inside has misread the time."
People came early in the morning, sold their goods, and then went back for another day. Some of the bolder people even started banging on the city gate.
The city gate was knocked on, waking the gatekeepers who were still asleep inside.
"What's going on? Everyone's asleep, wake up soon."
The first person to wake up didn't have time to think much and quickly woke up the others. The soldiers rushed to open the city gate, but they didn't find a person hanging on the city wall.
The crowd surged into the market. On an oxcart, a woman held a little boy whose face was flushed, clearly indicating that he was ill.
The unfamiliar surroundings made him look around, his big, wet eyes gazing at the tall city gate.
"Shame on you, you're not wearing any clothes."
"What do you mean, 'not wearing clothes'?" the woman asked curiously.
"Up there." The little boy pointed to the city wall, and everyone on the oxcart looked over.
"Ah..." The women screamed, covering their eyes in fright.
"Ah! There's a person hanging up there, and they're not wearing any clothes."
The scream shattered the tranquility of the imperial city in the early morning, and everyone turned to look.
Chen Chengsi lowered his head, so his face could not be seen, but the words hanging on both sides revealed his identity.
"He's a big bad guy, but someone is doing justice for God."
"Does anyone recognize those characters? Please read them to us!"
"Chen Chengsi, the most treacherous minister of the Qin Dynasty, is guilty of heinous crimes and everyone has the right to kill him."
"Chen Chengsi seems to be the emperor's brother-in-law."
