After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 280 Two People Open Their Eyes and Talk About Ghosts

The person Ye Wuwei sent to monitor Qi Yuli reported to him:

Qi Yuli quietly returned to Chamdo, and a group of people entered the palace with him.

As to whether Ye Yangzong is among this group of people, it is unknown.

Ye Wuwei thought about it and decided to go to Prince Ren's Mansion to test the waters.

Prince Ren's Mansion

As soon as Qi Yuli finished bathing, a servant came to report: The commander of Qi An's army wants to see him.

In terms of rank, the third-rank commander is several levels lower than the second-rank prince, but Qi Yuli dare not neglect Ye Wuwei.

Not to mention that Ye Wuwei is Qi Wushuang's confidant, just the way Ye Wuwei dealt with Master Zhuang and the former Minister of Personnel made Qi Yuli feel wary.

Qi Yuli had just returned to Chamdo from Chunyu Prefecture and was not yet aware of the affairs of the Yuwen family and Nancheng.

"Please ask him to sit in the main hall and serve him some good tea. I'll be there soon."

Qi Yuli speculates:

Ye Wuwei came to visit me just after I came back from Chunyu Mansion. Did he notice something?

Qi Yuli changed his clothes and came to the main hall. Ye Wuwei stood up and saluted him:

"Meet Prince Ren."

"There's some connection between you and me, so there's no need to be so distant."

Qi Yuli specifically asked Ye Yangzong about Ye Wuwei's identity, and Ye Yangzong told him that Ye Wuwei was the son of Ye Hongxia and Che Hongxing.

Qi Yuli didn't quite believe it.

Qi Yuli believed that Ye Wuwei was Ye Hongxia's son, but he did not believe that Ye Wuwei was Che Hongxing's son.

"I wonder what origin Prince Ren is referring to?"

"I heard that you are the son of Captain Ye, and Captain Ye is the person that my uncle trusts the most, so you and I have some connection."

"It turns out that the prince already knows that I am Senior Ye's son. I was worried that he would look down on me if I came to him to make friends with him."

"What did the commander say?

Everyone knows that you are His Majesty's most trusted confidant, and there are more than a few people who want to make friends with you. Why would you come to me, a prince with only a title but no real power, to make friends with me? "

"What the prince said was right. I came here this time because I have something to ask him."

Qi Yuli thought: Something happened!

Qi Yuli secretly raised his guard, but tried not to show it on his face:

"Excuse me, Commander."

"During the Spring Festival this year, I met Ye Yangzong, and all my old memories came back.

Ye Yangzong had tried to kill me twice. The first time, I didn't understand why. But the second time, after he tried to kill me, he thought I was dead and said some strange things.

He said that once I died, he would be the only one left in the Ye family, and no one would compete with him for the treasure left by the Ye family.

Having said that, Ye Wuwei paused for a moment, not missing any subtle changes in Qi Yuli's expression.

Sure enough, Qi Yuli tensed up when he heard the word "treasure".

It looks like this:

Qi Yuli was indeed going for the wealth left behind by the Qi family, but whether they have obtained it now is another matter.

Ye Wuwei continued:

“So after my memory recovered during the Spring Festival, I sent people to monitor Ye Yangzong until I knew he had gone to Chunyu Mansion.

Then the people who were monitoring Ye Yangzong told me that Ye Yangzong frequently went in and out of the Ghost Forest, so I wondered if the Ye family had hidden their treasure in the Ghost Forest.

Then, you also went to Chunyu Mansion and entered the Ghost Forest with Ye Yangzong.

What I want to ask is: Have the Duke and Ye Yangzong already taken out the Qi family's treasure?"

Qi Yuli tried to relax as much as possible and said:

"Since the commander's men have seen Ye Yangzong and I enter the Ghost Forest, it would be tactless for me to continue to deny it.

But I really didn't know about the treasure, and I didn't know that the commander and Ye Yangzong had a feud.

The reason I went to Chunyu Mansion was that Ye Yangzong sent me a message saying that he was my uncle's son and wanted to meet me.

Because the Ye family is guilty of treason, I don't want others to know about Ye Yangzong's existence, so I keep a low profile.

As for entering the Ghost Forest, it was because Ye Yangzong said that the Ye family had hidden several important things in the Ghost Forest and he wanted to take them out. I was worried about his safety, so I went with him.

However, I went into the Ghost Forest with him and found nothing.

After I came out of the Ghost Forest, I separated from him and returned to Qamdo. As for where he went, I don't know.

From Qi Yuli's words, Ye Wuwei couldn't tell whether they had taken out the wealth.

"It turned out that it was Ye Yangzong who took the initiative to contact the prince."

"That's natural, otherwise how would I know about Ye Yangzong's existence?

Let me tell you something that the commander may not believe:

If Ye Yangzong hadn't shown me the Ye family's token, I would have suspected that he was pretending to be my uncle's son.

But just now, I heard from the commander that Ye Yangzong had tried to kill you twice?"

“Yes, but that was many years ago.

Maybe I lost my previous memory because of the shock I received at that time."

"Has the commander's memory been restored?"

"I remember everything."

"Does the commander know who his father is?"

"I do not know either.

After regaining my memory, I remembered what Ye Yangzong once said, 'He is the only one left in the Ye family and no one will compete with him for the treasure', so I went to ask Senior Ye who my father was?

But Senior Ye refused to tell me and only said that I was her son."

Ye Wuwei naturally knew that he was the son of General Ye, but Ye Wuwei did not want to have any relationship with Qi Yuli, so he did not admit it.

"I heard the commander keep calling her 'Senior Ye'. Don't tell me you don't want to acknowledge her?"

“It was all thanks to Senior Ye that I became a beggar and begged alone for many years, so I can’t accept her for the time being.

Back then, the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Ye family. Senior Ye took Ye Yangzong and me and escaped.

But on the way, in order to avoid the pursuers, Senior Ye left me behind and escaped with only Ye Yangzong.

How can I forgive her when she's like this?"

These things are all true, and Ye Wuwei is not afraid that Qi Yuli will know.

Because Qi Yuli would not casually disclose the fact that Ye Wuwei was Ye Hongxia's son, Qi Yuli would also think of taking advantage of him at a critical moment.

"I didn't expect the commander's past to be so complicated."

When Qi Yuli said this, his tone and expression were full of sympathy, but whether it was true sympathy or false sympathy remains to be discussed.

Ye Wuwei waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent:

"It's all in the past, I'm living a good life now and don't want to dwell on it anymore.

But I once mentioned to Senior Ye that if the Ye family was wrongly accused of treason, I would ask Your Majesty to clear the name of the Ye family. However, Senior Ye told me that the Ye family had indeed made a serious mistake back then.

He also said that the matter was related to the death of your Majesty's biological mother, Concubine Yu.

It is said that many people are involved, including the prince's biological mother."

The last sentence was pure nonsense from Ye Wuwei, but he bet that Qi Yuli was unaware of what happened that year.

Sure enough, Qi Yuli was shocked:

"Commander, this is not something you can say lightly. If my mother is really involved in this, Emperor Jingzheng will never spare her life."

Ye Wuwei was surprised:

"Don't you know, Prince, that your biological mother's suicide was actually Emperor Jingzheng's way of protecting you?

Emperor Jingzheng once told Your Majesty in person that although your biological mother was wrong, the child was innocent, so he allowed your biological mother to commit suicide to save the child's face.

The child that Emperor Jingzheng was referring to is you."

This statement was again fabricated by Ye Wuwei.

Emperor Jingzheng did not say such words to Qi Wushuang. It was Ye Wuwei who analyzed from Ye Hongxia's tone that the Ye family was also involved in the events of that year.

The reason why Ye Wuwei deceived Qi Yuli in this way was to control Qi Yuli.

At the same time, it also prevents Qi Yuli from always using the excuse of "vindicating the Ye family".

Sure enough, Qi Yuli's expression changed.

Ye Wuwei turned around and pretended to be a good person to appease Qi Yuli:

“However, His Majesty has no intention of pursuing the matter any further. He said that the Ye family had been exterminated, and pursuing it further would seem too cruel.

So please rest assured, Prince:

As long as the prince does not commit any more crimes in the future, Your Majesty will never pursue the past matter again."

Implication:

If Qi Yuli commits a crime or makes Qi Wushuang unhappy in the future, then both new and old grudges will be settled!

The confrontation between the two was purely due to different positions, and it is hard to say who was right or wrong.

But in terms of victory or defeat, Ye Wuwei wins!

Although Ye Wuwei did not find out whether Qi Yuli had obtained the "treasure", he successfully planted "fear" in Qi Yuli's heart.
