The dark, shiny eyes glanced unobtrusively at the face of the Ye Family, worry hidden in the brows.
It was already not easy to take in one person, let alone another disabled one. Who could accept that?
Fortunately, Aunt Ye did not disappoint her.
The woman smiled and said, "Later, I’ll have Zheng Qi pick him up. The mansion is big, it’s just one more mouth to feed. This Lotus Patterned Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet is something I gave your mother. Your mother asked me to bring it to the Capital. If I can’t even fulfill this little request of yours, I wouldn’t be worthy of your mother’s trust."
And so it was settled.
Zheng Qi took a carriage, along with two guards, to follow Lu He to the Yuelai Inn to pick up the person!
The Ye Family instructed the servants to prepare the guest room as well as some daily essentials.
They appointed two young servants, Ye Cheng and Ye Gong, to take care of the Eldest Young Master, and additionally assigned a maid, Cui Xiang, to look after Lu He~
The two in the corner, seeing the dust settled, slunk away to find Huanhuan and Changzhou to share this story. Good friends are meant to share gossip together.
...
Yuelai Inn.
At the entrance was a luxurious carriage, with two Red Rabbit Horses, entirely blood-red except for a streak of white across their faces, standing majestically at the doorway, occasionally neighing once or twice.
The Red Rabbit is for none but Lv Bu to ride.
Astute individuals could recognize these two as Red Rabbit Horses worth a fortune, stopping in their tracks to admire them properly.
The carriage they carried, its shafts made of newly joined bamboo, with gold trappings, jade reins, and an embroidered saddle, adorned with emblems.
Sharp-eyed onlookers saw a plaque hanging on the carriage with "Ye" carved on it, immediately understanding it was the Ye Family in the Capital, famous for their saying, "In moments of triumph, pleasure must be fully embraced," and dispersing once more...
"Come, come, be careful here, there’s a table, sorry to trouble you two lads."
Lu He led the way, with two young men carrying Zhao Jun, heading towards the carriage at the doorway.
The carriage was high, requiring the use of a stool to step up. After a lot of effort, they finally managed to get the person inside.
The Red Rabbit Horses attracted a small crowd, among whom was a man in black with a blank expression, who blended in. Upon seeing the man being carried out, his eyes momentarily widened before he quickly concealed his emotions.
Watching the carriage depart, he also walked swiftly towards Prince An’s Mansion.
With a "bang," the cup on the pear wood table shook thrice, spilling its tea.
Sitting in the main seat, with a square face, sharp eyes, a hooked nose, and a moustache, Prince An’s expression was vicious, full of malice: "What’s going on? You can’t even kill one person. My care of you has been in vain! You can’t even handle this small task. Spread the word, those involved in this matter that night, go receive your punishment."
The man kneeling on one knee spoke: "Yes." His voice devoid of emotion.
The man in the main seat was murderously looking: "Ye Yuan, since you are involved in this, I can’t blame myself. Better to kill incorrectly than to let go. Immediately gather people and tonight, bloodbath the Ye Mansion."
The man in black kneeling on the ground contemplated, calmly speaking: "Prince, Ye Yuan is a First Grade Chief of Staff. If something were to happen to him suddenly overnight, the Emperor would likely command the Six Gates to investigate thoroughly. By then..."
The words unspoken, both understood.
The main task of the Six Gates was "to command the personal guards, train a large number of Death Warriors and Hidden Guards, reporting directly to Emperor Jingping, wielding significant power.
Once targeted by it, it’s hard to remain unaffected.
Li Shu nodded, if targeted by the Six Gates, the Emperor would surely pay attention. "Then I command you to silently and invisibly take Zhao Jun’s life tonight. In court, let me resolve Ye Yuan without spilling blood myself."
