“Yes, the Great Protector.”

"It seems a little different from what Yu Xin said."

"The great protector is wise."

The old man lowered his turbid eyes, and his black hood almost covered his entire face, and his face looked dark and unobstructed.

“Continue to pay attention.”

“Yes, the Great Protector.”

——

Qingzhou, Princess's Mansion.

The cold wind of winter swept snowflakes from the raised eaves and quickly merged into the snow on the ground.

A girl hurried past the snow with her cloak and a hand stove.

"Princess, the fifth lady is here." A Yuan stood in front of the thick and exquisite door curtain and said crisply.

Then, Nangong Lian's lazy voice came from inside, "Come in."

A Yuan gently lifted a gap of not wide on the door curtain, "Miss Five, please inside."

Ye Li crawled in sideways, and the curtain quickly lowered, fearing that the clear cold wind would blow in and blow the precious people inside.

The inside and outside are just two worlds.

A faint fragrance lingers in the warm air.

Ye Li stood by the stove at the door and scattered the cold air on her body. After taking off the cloak and putting it on the rack, she walked forward a few steps, "Daughter to pay tribute to my mother."

Nangong Lian lies on her side on the couch with her eyes closed, covering her body with a thin brocade quilt with a pomegranate red Five Sons passing the imperial examination.

Because of her pregnancy, she has not applied makeup for a long time.

His face was yellow and his cheeks could be seen vaguely. He was at least ten years older than Ye Li's impression.

The eyebrows were extremely light and the corners of the mouth were drooping. The tenderness that Ye Li had once greedy for was gone, and she had a bit of shrewdness and meanness.

For a moment, Ye Li actually vaguely saw Fan Zhiqiu's shadow on Nangong Lian.

She shook her head and quickly shook this absurd idea out of her mind.

"A Yuan, come in and help me up."

A Yuan outside responded and came in. Nangong Lian slowly opened her eyes and sat up with difficulty with A Yuan's help.

My belly is so big that it is a bit scary.

"Sit down." Nangong Lian pointed to the stool not far away and signaled Ye Li to sit down and talk.

"Yes, my mother." Ye Li sat down obediently, put her hands on her knees, her head slightly hanging, and she looked obedient to listen to the teachings.

"Last night, I received the news from going to Beijing." Nangong Lian gasped and said slowly, "It's about A Rui."

Because she is old and has a first child, she has worked very hard.

Ye Li's heart beat, her pale fingertips tightened, but she didn't answer, waiting for Nangong Lian to continue talking.

"More than two months ago, Arui was secretly taken to Chenliu by Prince Cheng. He was brought back yesterday. It is said that as soon as he came back, he was taken to the emperor."

Nangong Lian held her forehead. Although she was a little tired, her tone was relaxed and ordinary, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.

"It seems that A Rui forged letters in Chenliu and General Xu was unable to rescue him, which led to the fact that Chenliu was almost destroyed was discovered."

Ye Li was shocked. If Nangong Rui was discovered, did he confess her?

She couldn't help but look at Nangong Lian in a panic, "Amn, is the little prince..."

The more anxious she was, the less anxious Nangong Lian was. She stopped talking about Nangong Rui's affairs, and turned to talk about Ye Yunlang.

"The Chenliu crisis has been resolved, and your uncle has made great contributions. I believe the court will pay more attention to it. With the lessons from the last time, your uncle will definitely strengthen his defense. It seems that he has to think of another way again."

Ye Li understood what Nangong Lian meant. Her hand on her knees couldn't help but tighten, and bit her lip and said, "My daughter only knows the little prince. Now that the little prince's affairs are exposed, my daughter cannot protect herself, I'm afraid she can't help her mother."

Nangong Lian smiled. She clearly had the same smile as before. When she fell into Ye Li's eyes, her scalp became numb for no reason.

"How could it be? You are A Ming and Ahai's cousin." Nangong Lianyi said with some advice.

Ye Li was shocked and looked at Nangong Lian in surprise.

What does she mean? Could it be that she wants to deal with Ye Ming and Ye Hai!?

No, she can't do it! Ye Miao is coming back!

"My grandma, the second and third brothers treat their daughter very well. They are close relatives of their daughters, and their daughter has no choice..."

Before Ye Li could finish her words, she saw Nangong Lian smiled at her, with an indescribable sarcasm in her expression.

Fan Zhiqiu and Ye Jing are her closest relatives. Didn’t she burn it to death if she said she was burned to death?

Ye Li felt that the cold wind was blowing, and she felt guilty that she was seen through, and she couldn't help but change her voice.

"The grandfather is protected tightly, the academy is extremely strict, the second and third brothers have good kung fu, daughter...the daughter has no chance at all..."

"You don't need to do it yourself, as long as you cooperate."

In fact, after Nangong Lian received the news that Chen Liu's danger had been lifted in mid-October, she had sent someone to attack Ye Ming and Ye Hai in secret.

However, Ye Ming was extremely cautious and never separated from Ye Hai for a moment. In addition, the secret forces from somewhere protected them and failed every time.

So Nangong Lian decided to change her strategy.

Ye Li bit her lip and said nothing, but in fact she measured gains and losses in her heart.

The last time I wrote to Nangong Rui was forced to write, and it was because Ye Miao was not there that she dared to bite the bullet and write.

Now Ye Miao is coming back soon. With her intelligence, if she makes any small moves, she will definitely see through them.

In this way, Ye Miao will not only not help her, but will instead become enemies with her.

Ye Li doesn't want to be enemies with Ye Miao for the time being, she needs her to deal with Ye Rong.

"Ali, you should know that I did so much, all for your father and your brother." Nangong Lian said gently: "The imperial doctor has long said that this baby in my belly is a daughter."

Because of this, she cannot lose Ye Miao's support! Nangong Lian has her own biological daughter, and her stepdaughter will not be taken seriously by her at all! Ye Li thought to herself.

"My daughter went to see her grandfather yesterday, and her body was stronger than before. When it comes to the title, her daughter felt that there was no need to hurry up." She advised tactfully.

After the words came, Nangong Lian sneered coldly, "It seems that the whole story of A Rui forged letters. I should report to Emperor Ming to Brother Ming to check it out!"

The tone of slow voice was like a knife, placed on Ye Li's neck.

Ye Li's face immediately turned pale.

It was clearly the letter she forced herself to write! As a result, she used this incident to threaten her!

The room was as warm as spring, but Ye Li felt like falling into an ice cellar and felt cold all over.

After the false thoughts of the past dispersed, Ye Li thought she had nothing at most, so she decided to find another way out and create her own bright future.

But what awaited her was not nothing, but a more terrifying and powerless abyss!

"Daughter understands, my daughter obeys my grandmother's instructions in everything." Ye Li buried her head deeply in front of her chest.

"This is my mother's good daughter." Nangong Lian covered her mouth and yawned, "I'm tired, you go back."

"Yes, my mother." Ye Li stood up obediently, bowed and walked out the door.

When I picked up the cloak, Nangong Lian's faint voice suddenly sounded behind me.

"A Li, who has helped you behind the scenes over the past few months?"

Ye Li's whole body trembled, and the cloak in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Ye Miao is her last hope, and she must not let Nangong Lian know!

Ye Li used all her strength to squeeze out a surprised expression, "My grandma, why can't my daughter understand what you are talking about?"

Nangong Lian glanced at her lightly, her eyes suddenly sharpened, and soon returned to normal.

"It's nothing, go back."

"My grandma has a good rest, and her daughter is leaving."

After Ye Li left, A Yuan held Nangong Lian down and looked at the thin sweat that oozed out of her forehead. He couldn't help but feel distressed: "Princess, body is important."

Nangong Lian stroked her stomach, and under her palm, the life in her belly was beating.

The glory of maternal nature appeared on her face, "The Imperial Doctor said that if I take good care of this baby after giving birth, the second baby might be able to kill the boy in one fell swoop. There are some obstacles, so it is better to clean it up in advance to be at ease."

A Yuan took out a veil and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I think the fifth lady is right. The marquis is still strong, so there is no hurry to plan this matter."

"Ye Yunlang made great contributions this time, and with A Rui's affairs, the emperor's brother felt guilty and would make up for him. I guess after he returns this time, the emperor's brother will transfer him to Shangjing."

Nangong Lian closed her eyes, "If the big house and his family go to Shangjing, it will be much more troublesome to do it when they want to do it."

"So some things must be deployed in advance."

——

When Ye Miao returned to Lin'an Marquis' Mansion, Ye Ming and Ye Hai were both surprised but not surprised.
