Chapter 1077: Murdering (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xie Jingxing was right about one thing. Time was running out. They did not have much time left to plan their schemes.
Just as she was thinking, she saw MO Qing rush in with a strange expression. Over the past few days, Shen Miao had asked MO Qing to monitor the movements of Ye Mei and her brother day and night. Ye Mei had already hooked up with Jin Xinming, and Jin Xinming was about to leave the Daliang Dynasty. Shen Miao could not let Ye Mei succeed. In some ways, Ye Mei was more troublesome than Ye Maocai.
“The emperor has issued a decree to invite Ye Maocai to the palace,” MO Qing said.
Shen Miao was stunned. “To the palace?”
MO Qing nodded. “That’s right. The Ye family is in chaos now, and the servants are panicking. However, the Ye mansion is tightly surrounded by people from the palace.”
Shen Miao muttered to herself, “Why so quickly…”
It was obvious that Emperor Yong Le wanted to deal with the Ye family, so Shen Miao was not surprised. However, now that Xie Jingxing was in Ruyang and Emperor Yong Le was not in good health, it might be safer to carry out the plan after Xie Jingxing returned. However, on second thought. If even Shen Miao felt that Emperor Yong Le’s action was too sudden and swift, it would probably be even more so to Ye Maocai. The Ye family was also a cunning bunch. If they gave the Ye family a chance to catch their breath, Ye Maocai might take advantage of the situation to escape. Now, Ye Maocai was summoned to the palace. Without him, the rest of the Ye family would just be fish on the chopping board.
She thought for a moment and said, “Go to the Ye mansion immediately with Cong Yang and Tie Yi to keep an eye on Ye Mei and her brother. If they make a move, follow them first. If they want to leave Long Ye, stop them and take them back. If they fight back, kill them.”
“Is it necessary for the three of us to watch those siblings?” Cong Yang jumped down from the tree and said, “I heard that Madam Ye is not simple either. Why don’t I go and keep an eye on her?”
“Don’t worry about her.” Shen Miao said, “Although she’s smart, she’s a woman after all. The information I’ve gathered these days is that Ye Maocai won’t let Madam Ye interfere in his matters. The emperor didn’t summon her to the palace because he also knew that she was not a threat. She can’t do anything alone. On the other hand, Ye Mei and her brother are very cunning. I have a feeling that they won’t leave the Ye family without taking something from them. She definitely has a plan. This plan is beneficial to her. This is what you need to pay attention to the most.”
Cong Yang thought for a moment and felt that what she said made sense, so he nodded. Tie Yi had always been obedient, let alone MO Qing. Just as the three of them were about to leave, Shen Miao suddenly stopped them. “By the way, if you meet that crippled young master, don’t hurt him. If anyone wants to hurt him, help him.”
At this moment, the Ye family was in chaos under the dark night.
No one expected the royal family to suddenly send people to “invite” Ye Maocai to the palace. Although the servants did not know what was exactly going on, they had vaguely heard some rumors these days. When Ye Maocai was taken away, he struggled, which proved the rumors the servants heard. Without hesitation, they packed their things and were about to escape. However, the mansion was sealed by imperial guards and no one was allowed to leave. They felt that there was no hope of escaping and broke down, filling the mansion with wails and sobs..
