In Ye Huaiyangs impression, she has never seen such a huge fire before. The billowing dense smoke had blotted out the sky and the sun while the burning smell which was extremely pungent with a kind of unspeakable weird scent could even be smelled from afar.

Rushing all the way from outside to Fuyu Xuan, Ci Yuan saw Ye Huaiyang sitting under the porch staring blankly towards the north as soon as he entered the threshold. The original limpid eyes had turned into a deep dark pool, just like the sky now. Fearing of startling her, he walked lightly to the bottom of the stairs when she turned her line of sight before he could even make a sound.

How?

Seemingly difficult to speak about it, Ci Yuan pondered for a moment before he spoke with the euphemistic tone, Reporting to Young Miss, the fire is too big and no survivors have been found for the time being.

Even you are starting to deceive me. The corners of Ye Huaiyangs mouth pulled up slightly while she got up sluggishly and walked before him. Her icy and frosty covered words were bitingly sharp, Ci Yuan, I want to hear the truth.

Ci Yuan immediately knelt down on one knee as soon as these words came out. From this angle, the back of his neck and shoulders looked extremely tense. It took a long time before he relaxed slightly and the raspy voice escaped from his throat.

Sneaking into the fire scene just now, this subordinate found that all the Xie familys people were lying motionlessly on the ground and had been burnt alive by the fire. This subordinate dragged one lightly wounded person to a clearing for questioning. He said that Xie Si had scattered the paralyzed powder into the well before instructing his men to set the fire. As for Xie Miao and Xie Yun they most probably have already been brutally killed.

Shuddering suddenly, Ye Huaiyang could not help but retched at once when she realized the scent she smelled just now was actually the smell of human flesh burning.

Young Miss!

Yueya rushed over to support her while Ci Yuan stretched out his arms too to protect her but she pushed both of them away. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she held back her retching with great difficulty.

It must be that person backing behind the son of a concubine, Xie Si, for him to dare mobilizing the troops to commit arson to his clan home and exterminate the whole direct descendant. On top of that, with the sound of iron boots coming from outside the King mansion at this moment and the disappearance of Meng Chen, where all these matters strung together, she regrettably had realized it too late as both Xie Miao and Xie Yun are already dead

Meng Chen, I will definitely demand these two lives back from you!

Straightening her back, Ye Huaiyangs body was clearly still very weak but she was ready for action like a sharp cold arrow being pulled on the bowstring.

The sound of armors frictions was getting closer and closer, seemingly about to burst through the door. Leaping up quickly to the eaves for a look, Ci Yuan then turned back and spoke urgently, Young Miss, theres no time to lose. This subordinate will have someone escort you to leave first!

No need. You take Yueya and go find Xiner.

Not expecting that Ye Huaiyang would refuse, Ci Yuan, who is always expressionless, actually revealed a frightened look and knelt down once again and pleaded, Young Miss, this subordinate will put this life of mine on the line to protect you. You cannot give up!

I am not giving up. A faint smile curled up at the corners of Ye Huaiyangs mouth that others could not see distinctively, I cant leave.

As all the guards of Tianqi House are excellent martial artists, it is not impossible for them to forcibly escort her to flee Wangdu but if she leaves, the Ye family will also fall into purgatory like the Xie family today. It is she who insisted on choosing this path in the first place, so how could she let her elders and brothers get implicated in this calamity? Either being condemned by speech or writing and even adding in the sword and knife, just come at her alone.

The two people beside her could not accept her determination of meeting death. Yueyas eyes turned red as she pulled her and refused to let go while Ci Yuan was ready to defy orders and forcibly take her away, but they eventually lost the ability to resist and refuse when her calm gaze swept over unhurriedly.

Go, help me get the Ye familys people out.

Even though Ye Huaiyang did not face him, Ci Yuan knew those words were for him. Seeing her walking step by step calmly towards the front courtyard, he gritted his teeth firmly before grabbing Yueya abruptly and leapt over the surrounding wall swiftly. The moment he landed, he heard the sound of King mansions door being slammed open.

The person who came was Zhang Chi, possessing the similar ingenuity of the other night.

He saw the desertion of the entire King mansion while only Ye Huaiyang standing gracefully tall and thin like the paper in the courtyard. Her snow-colored dress was fluttering in the wind setting off a radiant appearance and those pair of sparkling phoenix eyes staring straight at him seemingly as clear as the autumn water at first glance but were actually ruthless behind the gentle facade and frigidly imposing that he dared not rashly act presumptuously.

Damn it. She is about to become a prisoner, why is she still strutting zealously?

Snickering inwardly, Zhang Chi could not help stepping forward to speak sarcastically, Wangye is not here today, Wangfei most probably cant set up the acting stage?

The soldiers behind him all laughed.

Ye Huaiyang replied leisurely, It seems Deputy Commander Zhang has never heard this phrase, lunatics act while idiots watch.

You Choked, Zhang Chi turned his head to vent his anger at the soldiers. What are all of you still dazing about? Still not arresting her for this commander!

Hearing that, Ye Huaiyang took the lead and walked slowly with the outlook of strolling leisurely to meet them but her implied aura forced the soldiers around her to retreat half a step away as they watched. No one dared coming forward to seize her and she was actually given free rein to walk out of the King mansion herself.

Zhang Chi grumbled and cursed at the back, seemingly exasperatedly flustered but he did not dare delay the matter and hurriedly sent her to the palace.

Ye Huaiyang usually only went to two places whenever she entered the Imperial Palace in the past, the East Phoenix Palace and Hanzhang Palace. Although their size and layout are different, both are exceptionally majestic. Only did she know today that there is still such a hideous place in the palace once she arrived at the nook of Wutong Court.

The imperial army left after sending her into the courtyard where unpleasant looking four palace maids and two Momo guarding at the door. As Ye Huaiyang was feeling unwell, she was not in the mood to pay them any attention. Closing the door, she shut them out completely. Unknowing if they had been instructed or were confident that she could not escape, they did not even intend to come in to keep an eye on her. Ye Huaiyang breathed a sigh of relief faintly and began to look around the room she was in.

It was obviously summer yet this room was extraordinarily cold and damp. The furnishing was very simple and crude with one square table and two wooden chairs. It was also densely covered with cobwebs and dust. Barely enduring the surging nausea in her chest, Ye Huaiyang wiped the place clean with a handkerchief before sitting down.

She has really fallen into a dire straits.

It was only at this moment did dreadfulness hit her. Not dreading anything else except being afraid that Chu Jinglan will do the unimaginable things after learning this news and even more fearful that Chu Sanghuai will attack the Ye family.

No matter, worrying is futile since she is being imprisoned. It is better to carefully plan how to safely send the people of Ye family out.

Closing her eyes, Ye Huaiyang silently went through Wangdus current situation in her mind. Several ways came up but none was reliable. After all, the information she had in her hands was too little. She has to be warily cautious and only then can she keep her family safe. She wished she wished Uncle and Aunt would not blame her at this moment.

In the moment of anxiety, the sound of small footsteps was unexpectedly heard from outside. The door was pushed open once she opened her eyes. Dressed in the phoenix brocade dress, the Empress entered the room under the escort of a crowd and stared at her for a long while before waving her slender white hand suddenly. Jinxiu then led the people out and closed the door incidentally.

Ye Huaiyang, Bengong[1] has really deceived letting you leap and bounce right under my nose for so long.

The Empress face turned gloomy when she thought of the time she solemnly pledged to the Queen Mother that Ye Huaiyang would not turn traitor and felt that her face had been slapped soundly. Now the Queen Mother and the Emperor were putting the blame on her head while she could not do anything to this instigator which was truly maddening.

What is Niang-niang[2] talking about? Chenqie[3] does not really understand.

Dont play dumb in front of Bengong! The Empress berated sternly then sneered again, Come to speak of it, Bengong really wants to applaud you. The guards you kept were all rigidly tight-lipped that they refused to talk no matter how they were tortured. It was a pity that those under Xie Miao were not very useful as the matter of finding the testamentary edict tumbled out with just the use of a little torture. Otherwise, Bengong really has difficulty explaining to the Emperor.

Ye Huaiyangs eyes contracted slightly while her heartbeats sped up all of a sudden.

Since the Empress said so, Xie Si most likely had gone in to arrest the person before setting the fire. But there was no reason to put the cart before the horse by catching some underlings instead of Xie Miao. The only possibility was that Xie Miao managed to escape and as Xie Si could not get his statement, he had to use someone elses to serve as the stopgap.

As such, Xie Yun is also likely still alive!

Just when Ye Huaiyang desperately grasped this inner hope, the Empress poured a pot of cold water over again.

You are not actually waiting for Chu Jinglan to come save you? Bengong urges you to give up on that thought. The entire Wangdu has been sealed off by the Emperor, so not the least bit of news can leak out. Its almost as good as Chu Jinglan returning to collect your corpse!

So what? With an arrogant look, Ye Huaiyang glanced nonchalantly at her, Not only will my husband seize this country when he comes back, he will even kill all of you to avenge me. I am merely a step ahead waiting for all of you. Perhaps in the future I will even be able to set up a game of leaf cards when we meet in the underworld, dont you think so?

The Empress was so angry that her body shook. Taking large strides towards Ye Huaiyang, she easily knocked her to the ground.

Bitch! You dare to curse Bengong and the Emperor!

Slowly propping her frail body up, Ye Huaiyang revealed a cold smile.

The Empress became even more furious, catching sight of her expression. With heaving chest and trembling belly, it took a long time before she calmed down and immediately raised her voice to the people outside, Someone come and carry out the torture instruments for Bengong!

As soon as the words faltered, the door was opened once again. Jinxiu came in with the others who were carrying boxes of various sizes in their hands. Once placed on the table, all the opened boxes reveal the pincer pliers, snapping fingers-clamps and so on. Some of which still had dark blood stains stuck on it that the indistinct gush of foul fishy smell almost made Ye Huaiyang throw up.

The Empress gave a hinted glance to the Momo beside her, who immediately picked up a pair of pliers and walked to Ye Huaiyangs side. Her fiendish look was like coming to claim lives. Gazing silently at one place, half of Ye Huaiyangs face was obscured in the shadow that her expression was blurred. Thinking that she was finally scared, the Empress could not help laughing disdainfully, It seems that it wont work without coming up with some real stuff. Speak, where is the testamentary edict?

The imperial army had already searched and upturned the entire King Lan mansion but found nothing. This was why the Empress had rushed over to interrogate her.

I dont know.

Fine, just stubbornly keep your mouth tight. Dont come crying and beg Bengong later! Raising her eyebrows and throwing out those vicious words, the Empress walked out. But who knew, an unexpectedly clear laughter that seemed to taunt her sounded behind her. She turned around abruptly and happened to meet Ye Huaiyangs pair of crystal bright phoenix eyes.

Niang-niang, as you can see, I may not even last one round with my current physical condition. You will never be able to know where the testamentary edict is for the rest of your life by killing me like this. If the Emperor reproaches later, Im afraid you will have to take your child and sleep on the stiff plank bed in the Cold Palace.

You -

The Empress was immediately beside herself with anger after having her sore spot trampled. She rushed over and slapped her where three welts instantly were left on her face by the finger-sheaths.

Ye Huaiyang was knocked to the ground by the force and knowing that her face had been scratched, she did not touch it but only raised her head silently to look at her with a cold smile lingering on her lips.

The Empress finally spoke resentfully after this long confrontation, Fine, Bengong will accompany you if you want to dawdle. Since you cant be touched, Bengong will sort the Ye family out!

Ye Huaiyang felt a squeeze in her heart yet she pretended and spoke cold-bloodedly, As you wish, Niang-niang. It is their honor to be able to sacrifice themselves for the head of their family and Wangye.

The Empress gave her a fierce glare before walking away in anger.

The palace maids who heard the entire conversation on the sidelines naturally dared not lay a finger on Ye Huaiyang without authorization and left after hurriedly packing up all the things. Dust scattered once the door was heavily slammed shut. Unable to prop herself up anymore, Ye Huaiyang finally slumped on the ground after seeing the retreating black shadows on the window paper. Strings of sweat slid across her cheeks and she raised her hand to wipe it away with a slightly bitter smile.

When it rains, it pours and there are still many more tough battles to be fought. So how can this appearance of hers now work?
