Although Ye Er wasn’t skilled in martial arts, his ears were sharp. He heard everything these two brothers said behind him.
At that moment, he suddenly turned around, his gaze fell on Xiao Liang, scaring him. He quickly lowered his head and said, “My lord, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have discussed your affairs.”
Ye Er’s eyebrows rose, unconcerned with his prattling on about whether or not he cared about her questions. Instead, she asked, “Do I look happy?”
Daliang and Xiaoliang looked at each other, and as smart people they could tell their parents were in a very good mood today.
Xiao Liang quickly nodded, “Of course, Sir, you don’t even know how obvious the smile on your lips is.”
Ye Er didn’t realize that his lips were still curving into a noticeable arc. It was only after Xiao Liang pointed it out that he deliberately pursed his lips, trying to appear more normal.
After finishing all that, he turned and continued walking toward the study, leaving Daliang and Xiaoliang behind him. The two brothers stared at each other in bewilderment, completely unable to understand what had just happened.

They adults stopped and asked what the meaning of this question was? What was the purpose?
……
After the three arrived at the study, perhaps they had thought about the day’s business. Ye Er’s expression became serious. After sitting down, his eyes looked at Da Liang and Xiao Liang, “Any news?”
“The Great Liang nodded, his brow slightly furrowed, “Replying to your lordship, the Emperor truly does what he says. Even before dawn today, he has sent over ten thousand Imperial Guards to surround the Northern Border Prince’s Mansion.”
Ye Er’s eyes sank. As expected, the emperor still hadn’t recovered from his shock this evening.
He frowned, remained silent for a while before continuing, “How did the people in the Prince’s Mansion respond? Did the Crown Prince go into the palace with them?”
“No, before I returned, all I saw was Yun Si with a few men guarding the front gate of the palace. However, the Imperial Guards sent by Your Majesty did not dare to barge in rashly. They must also be wary of the explosives held by the Northern Border Palace.”
Ye Er seemed deep in thought, his hand gently tapping on the table, his gaze distant and unspeaking for a moment.
Both Daliang and Xiao Liang couldn’t guess what their master was thinking.
After a while, Xiao Liang couldn’t hold back any longer and asked:

“Sir, if the Imperial Forest Army and the Northern Frontier Prince’s Manor clash, should we join the brothers of Qingyun Pavilion and help the Northern Frontier Prince’s Manor fight against those Imperial Forest Army soldiers?”
Ye Er came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, “This time, no one from the Ye family should make a move.”
After saying that, he looked at Daliang, “Also, pass down the order that everyone in the Ye Mansion must be on high alert this period. They mustn’t act rashly, and they shouldn’t cause any trouble outside. We mustn’t give anyone a handle to use against us.”
“Especially the two of you, don’t contact or associate with anyone from Qingyun Pavilion for a while. If you notice someone watching you secretly, ignore them and pretend nothing happened. All you need to do is keep an eye on the Ye Mansion at all times.”
Daliang and Xiaoliang looked at each other, obviously not understanding why their elders would say such things at this crucial moment.
Besides, weren’t the adults and the Beijiang Wangfu already on the same side?
If something were to happen to the Beijiang Wangfu, wouldn’t your lord also be in danger?
Why not let the two of them help out with the Bei Jiang Wangfu at this time?
After Ye Er finished speaking, he didn’t receive any response from his two brothers. At this time, he rarely spoke up and explained to the two:
“Yesterday at the palace, the most obvious one who was fanning the flames was Minister of Rites Jiang Rongwen, that is, Jiang Qingyang’s father. After last night’s events, I understand why he wanted His Majesty to take action against the Prince’s residence.”

“He probably already knew that his son, Jiang Qingyang, had been Mo Yunchen’s aide all along. Jiang Rongwen only had one son, Jiang Qingyang. He might not be happy with Jiang Qingyang’s choice, but since Jiang Qingyang had gotten this far, as long as Mo Yunchen didn’t ascend the throne, no matter who sat on that dragon chair in the future, Jiang Qingyang wouldn’t live to see another day.”
For Jiang Qingyang’s future, for Jiang Qingyang’s life and death, even Jiang Rongwen wanted to take a gamble.
“So yesterday, I deliberately added fuel to the fire in front of the Emperor and, together with the President of the Imperial Guard, subtly provoked the Emperor’s anger, causing him to make these decisions in his fury.”
“Perhaps the leader of the Imperial Guards wants to take this opportunity to see just how much gunpowder is still left in the Beijang Wangfu, and Jiang Rongwen should want to help Jiang Qingyang and push the Beijang Wangfu into a desperate situation.”
“Once the Bei Jiang Wang Fu is pushed into a desperate situation, as long as Jiang Qingyang comes forward in time to help the Wang Fu through the crisis, perhaps the Bei Jiang Wang Fei will hand over the antidote.”
It’s a pity that Jiang Rongwen probably didn’t expect that last night, Jiang Qingyang’s body would be transported back to the doorstep of the Jiang family.
“Jiang Qingyang’s death was a huge blow to the Jiang family. Jiang Rongwen would not let this go, he would definitely get to the bottom of Jiang Qingyang’s death.”
Last night, Jiang Qingyang’s plan to see the Duchess through the County Princess, as a father, Jiang Rongwen might also know.
“If he really knew, he would surely guess that Jiang Qingyang’s death was related to us.”
“So during this time, he will repeatedly cause trouble for the Ye family, and even try every means possible to turn our Ye family upside down, causing it to collapse.”

Speaking of this, Ye Er’s expression grew serious. He stared intently at the two people in front of him, “In the next few days, before the Jiang family is completely brought down, there will be many who will come to cause us trouble.”
“Since we are currently preoccupied, it’s best not to involve ourselves in the affairs of the Beijang Royal Manor. Not only would we be unable to assist them if needed, but revealing our connection to the Beijang Royal Manor could also alert the Jiang family. They might then turn their attention towards the Beijang Royal Manor as well.”
In Ye Er’s view, the best thing about this period of time was that everyone looked after themselves and solved their own problems.
After his explanation, both Dalian and Xiaoliang understood the intricacies.
Xiao Liang frowned at this, “Master, according to what you mean, it means that the Jiang family will definitely come to trouble our Ye family after they know about Jiang Qingyang’s death?”
Ye Er slightly nodded her head, and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid the troublemakers are already on their way.”
“…Daliang and XiaoLiang’s bodies stiffened instantly.”
Daliang frowned, “Then I’ll send more men to guard Ye Mansion’s gate.”
Ye Er’s gaze sharpened, and he nodded. “No matter what you plan to do, make sure they don’t disturb the County Lord.”
And if they really come to Ye Mansion and cause a ruckus, then you go report it to the authorities, make a big deal out of it. Only when things become a major scandal will I have a chance to make the Jiang family unable to turn over in front of His Majesty.

Hearing their master speak with such confidence, Daliang and Xiao Liang looked at each other excitedly and quickly bowed. “Yes.”
