As for the palace guard in front of him, his eyes lit up when he saw the two women in front of him.
In a daze, I felt that this woman looked so familiar.
Soon, he recognized Ye Xue'e.
The palace guards in front of me were the same palace guards who had protected the concubine before.
The palace guard discovered that the woman in front of him looked exactly like the concubine he had protected before.
He was drinking tea, but when he was surprised, he dropped the teacup in his hand and smashed it into pieces with a bang, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
"Ye... Ye Guiren..." After the palace guard saw Ye Xue'e, he subconsciously rushed over and knelt on the ground.
"Ye Guiren, why are you here? What happened? Why did they arrest you?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Xue'e thought to herself, it's over, it's completely over, someone actually recognized her.
The red sleeve next to me was also shocked!
The concubine and the empress may not necessarily know every palace guard, but these palace guards must know the empress!
When several palace guards nearby saw this scene, they all dropped what they were doing and gathered around.
After seeing Ye Xue'e in front of them, they thought about it and recognized her.
The people behind were also surprised when they saw this scene and didn't know what happened.
"Ye Guiren, why are you here? I seem to remember that a few months ago, His Majesty announced that you had died of illness."
"Ye Guiren, what on earth is going on?"
Ye Xue'e did not explain.
She changed her mind and immediately held her head high, exuding a very elegant temperament all over her body.
"I was ordered by His Majesty to live in seclusion here. I didn't expect that you would arrest me."
"Do you know your guilt?"
The palace guards didn't know what was going on. When they heard Ye Xue'e's words, they were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground.
"My Majesty, please spare my life! We also came to arrest the criminal under your Majesty's order. I really didn't expect to offend your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, the little ones don't know. They don't know that your Majesty is here. Who captured your Majesty? I'm going to arrest them and punish them!"
Ye Xue'e said: "Those who don't know are not guilty. If you don't know, I won't blame you. So many things have happened these days, and you have all worked hard. I have other things to do, so I will say goodbye."
The captain of the guard said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the palace? I will send someone to take your Majesty back."
"No need, I will go back on my own. I don't want to cause any trouble to you." Ye Xue'e was calm and composed from beginning to end, without any panic, and left with Hongxiu.
The guards didn't think much about it.
However, the captain of the guard was more thoughtful.
How could the noble empress live in a civilian area? Your Majesty announced earlier that the empress had died of illness, so why was she still alive?
The captain's eyes swept across the crowd in Yanghuafang and said, "Don't you know those two girls just now?"
Many people said they didn't know him.
At this time, a middle-aged woman in her forties came over and said, "I know, I know, the girl next to the empress just now often buys vegetables at my stall. I know them very well, she
Called Xiu'er."
After the middle-aged woman said this, several people came forward and said that they had seen Hong Xiu, and that she often went to buy some clothes or daily necessities, etc.
However, they have never met Ye Xue'e.
Several palace guards felt that this matter might not be simple.
They could only send people to keep an eye on Ye Xue'e secretly, and then report to the superiors layer by layer.
The news quickly reached Luo Longyu's ears.
Because Ye Xue'e is His Majesty's concubine, this matter is of great importance and must be reported to His Majesty.
"A concubine who was supposed to die of illness is still alive and living in a civilian area?" Luo Longyu was resting in the Qianqing Palace. After receiving the news, he was very surprised.
Next to Luo Longyu was the eunuch Feng Gao, and next to Feng Gao stood Qiu Nian.
These two people have been working for Luo Longyu and are loyal to Luo Longyu.
Now, Luo Longyu has told the two of them his true identity.
Because he wants to control the court and the harem, he needs a lot of people to help him.
Feng Gao thought for a while and said: "A few months ago, Ye Guiren suddenly fell ill and died suddenly. This old slave is also puzzled by this matter."
"It seems that things are not that simple. Although His Majesty announced that Ye Guiren has died of illness, he secretly sent Ye Guiren outside. There must be a reason for this."
Qiunian next to him said: "Your Majesty, the person who reported the news said that Master Fang's portrait was found in Ye Guiren's residence. Obviously this matter must be related to Master Fang."
"I thought it would be better to bring Mr. Ye back to the palace and ask him face to face, then he would know the answer."
At this moment, Ye Xue'e and Hongxiu hired a carriage, and they wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
However, when they arrived at the entrance to the imperial city, they found that there were a large number of guards guarding the place, checking their identities.
When the two got out of the car and were about to make an inspection, several palace guards quickly chased after them.
"Ye Guiren, where are you going?"
"Your Majesty already knows that Mr. Ye has been living in Yanghuafang."
"Your Majesty is very sad. He did not expect that the noble Lord has been suffering. Now, His Majesty has ordered that the noble Lord Ye be taken back to the palace."
Ye Xue'e thought to herself that it was all over now, and His Majesty would definitely not be lenient if he wanted to see her.
Even if I use my identity as empress to suppress the guards in front of me, it will probably be useless.
The palace guards brought Ye Xue'e and Hongxiu to the palace.
Qianqing Palace!
Ye Xue'e and Hongxiu knelt in front of Luo Longyu.
"Common people, please see Your Majesty!"
Today, Ye Xue'e no longer has the status of a nobleman and can only call herself a commoner.
Luo Longyu said calmly: "No need to be polite, Mr. Ye, get up quickly."
"Give me a seat."
Ye Xue'e was a little flattered, wondering why His Majesty didn't lose his temper when he saw her, and even asked her to sit down and talk.
"Ye Guiren, we need to have a serious talk. When we were arresting the criminal today, you were found. What on earth is going on?"
Luo Longyu started to talk nonsense, which is Luo Longyu's strength.
Seeing His Majesty's gentle eyes, Ye Xue'e also let down her guard in her heart: "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I have been living secretly in Yanghuafang and have never left that courtyard."
"But today a large number of soldiers came and searched my yard. They only found an unfinished painting, and they arrested me for interrogation, so my identity was exposed."
Luo Longyu was confused and continued to talk.
"This matter is not your fault. After all, Bai Ling'er has a close relationship with Fang Chen, and you were found to know Fang Chen. The officers and soldiers will definitely want to use you to find out Bai Ling'er's whereabouts, so you exposed your identity, but This matter is of great importance, do you have any ideas?"
