Every time the emperor listened to Ye Er finish, he would let Ye Er handle anything unimportant at his discretion.
…and for bigger issues, he would ask Ye Er how to handle them. After Ye Er expressed their thoughts, if he found the idea acceptable, he would let Ye Er take care of it.
The emperor today seemed far away. After Ye Er read several official documents to him, he suddenly asked an irrelevant question, “Ye Qing, which young master in the capital are you closest with on a daily basis?”
“……”
Ye Er’s hand paused mid-fold, a cold smile playing on his lips. He had expected this, the emperor hadn’t fully trusted him after all and now suspicion clouded their relationship.
But he was not flustered at the moment, slowly putting down the scroll in his hand. “Your Majesty, I have no familiar young masters in the capital.”

“Speaking of which, a trace of sadness flashed across Ye Er’s face. “After all, Your servant… used to be ill and unable to move freely. In this vast capital city, actually… no one wanted to be friends with Your servant. These past years, Your servant has rarely gone out, so there was no opportunity to make any friends.”
The Emperor raised an eyebrow, and who knew if he believed Ye Er’s words or not. However, he had heard about Ye Er before, so he nodded now and didn’t press further. He waved his hand and said, “Continue.”
Yes, Your Majesty.
……
On the other hand, Yun Si in Beijang王府 had also learned that Mo Yunze had rushed to the palace and then returned home dejectedly.
When Ye Yun told Mo Junyi about this, Mo Junyi sneered, “He wants to use the emperor’s power against this prince, but he didn’t expect to get into trouble. He deserves it!”
Yun Si nodded slightly, “Do you think this matter should be reported to the Princess?”
“No need, my mother’s body hasn’t fully recovered yet. It’s best not to bother her with such small matters.”
After he finished speaking, the sharp lines of his brow and eyes deepened with a chill. He lowered his voice and asked, “Have you still not received any news from Han Yun?”
A touch of sadness flashed across Yun Si’s eyebrows and eyes, “Yes.”

Logically speaking, given Han Yun and all the members of Qingyun Pavilion’s capabilities, they should have some news about Mo Yunjing by now, whether he is alive or dead after searching for so long.
It has been more than half a month since Mo Yunjing fell off the cliff, and there is still no news of him.
This left them feeling uneasy, but they were powerless to do anything about it.
……
Meanwhile, somewhere in the country of Xiliang <<<
Two villagers dressed in simple clothes huddled around a kang, muttering to each other and shoving one another.
“Brother, you brought this person here, so you should be the one to take care of them.”
“No, Xiao Mao, you can’t be like this. We agreed that we would each take turns feeding him one day. I fed him the rice porridge yesterday, so today it has to be your turn.”
“Big brother, I…I really can’t.”
The young man, nicknamed Xia Mao, spoke in a trembling voice, clearly afraid. He looked as if he was resisting with all his heart the approach of the man lying on the kang.

And the one Xia Mao called “Big Brother” was his elder brother, born to the same parents.
Damo helplessly looked at his younger brother, then at the man on the bed. To be honest, it wasn’t just his brother who was afraid, he was scared too!
The man in bed, though unconscious and bearing serious injuries, would sometimes react instinctively when he felt someone approaching or trying to touch him. It was unclear what caused this strange behavior.
The worst part was that this man was a highly skilled martial artist with unfathomable depths of skill. With just a casual palm strike, he almost took the lives of his brothers.
For the past two weeks, it has been his brothers taking care of him. He has been in a coma and they take turns feeding him some rice congee to keep him from starving.
But this person doesn’t know good from bad. Over the past month or so, they’ve already hurt their brothers countless times.
They were truly terrified, fearing that if they made a mistake, he would slap them to death.
The two brothers looked at each other in distress. Big Mao felt sorry for his younger brother, but he was also afraid of pain. He remembered how the man had slapped him last night when he fed him rice porridge. The blow nearly broke his ribs.
That kind of pain terrified him, he didn’t want to experience it again.
Right now, looking at his younger brother, he was genuinely scared, about to cry. He helplessly pursed his lips.

The two brothers glared at each other, not knowing how long they’d been staring. Xiao Mao suddenly blurted out, “Big brother, this guy is totally turning on us after we helped him! Otherwise… otherwise, shouldn’t we just throw him away?”

But whenever he tried to make up his mind, he felt unwilling, extremely unwilling.
Their brothers agreed to bring this man back, of course not out of kindness. They were willing to help because he threatened them and promised them benefits they had never dared to dream of.
He still remembered when he first met this person, they were lying on the ground covered in blood, and their face was bloody and terrifying to look at.
At that time, he and Xia Mao still thought this man was dead, but they looked at the clothes on his body which were very good. Although they didn’t know what kind of person this man would be, just from the clothes, they guessed that he must be either rich or noble.
Since they had to be either rich or noble, there might be some silver or other valuables on them. Driven by greed, the two brothers approached the man.
But no one had guessed that this person wasn’t dead at all. As they crouched beside him, ready to search his body for valuables, the man suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Xiao Mao’s throat with his hand.
He and Xia Mao instantly shivered with fear. Before they could even say a word, the man shoved a strange pill into Xia Mao’s mouth and said in a cold voice:
“It is a colorless and odorless poison, with no antidote after three months, it will inevitably burst to death.”

As soon as this person spoke, Little Mao instantly burst into tears, while Big Mao’s face turned pale with fright. He quickly knelt down to the person and kowtowed repeatedly:
“Spare us, sir! Spare us! We know nothing. We’ve done nothing wrong. Please spare our lives, noble hero!”
He and his younger brother had relied on each other for so many years, of course he couldn’t just stand by and watch his brother die from poisoning. He immediately begged this person to give him the antidote.
But the man simply glanced at the two brothers with his gloomy eyes and said, “Take me away from here. Throw my clothes off halfway through, and don’t let anyone see me before I wake up.”
“The antidote and riches and honor, as long as I wake up, you can all have them. Otherwise, we die together.”
“Having said that, his sharp gaze fell on Xiao Mao’s face. “There is no antidote. You will sleep worse and worse, gradually lose your appetite, you will slowly bleed from all seven orifices, and in three months, you will explode and die. Don’t even think about seeing other doctors, this poison is colorless and odorless, ordinary doctors can’t see it.”
