407 This Time, My Son Really Met With A Misfortune!
At this moment, the moon was already bright and the stars were sparse. The surrounding lights were waning, illuminating a warm world.
The moonlight and lights shone through the carriage window.
Gu Nuo’er’s fair face seemed to be gently covered with a layer of light.
It was already late and Gu Nuo’er was a little sleepy. She lay on Ye Siming’s lap and fell asleep.
Ye Siming’s hand landed naturally on her back.
“I’m still curious. What did you say to the procuress? Why did her attitude change so quickly?” Ye Siming asked calmly.
Originally, he had planned to place his sword on the procuress’s neck if she didn’t agree.
Gu Nuo’er’s voice was sleepy, soft, and delicate.
“Oh, I said that I know the father-in-law and son-in-law who were fighting next door. At that time, Lord Wan will definitely vent his anger and come back to find trouble with Soft Fragrance Jade, blaming the older sisters there for seducing his son-in-law.
“However, it just so happens that I know Lord Wan and am very familiar with him. If she agrees to help me, I’ll help the procuress to mediate this matter.”
...
Ye Siming raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
“Gu Nuo’er, you’re getting more and more interesting.”
The child had already fallen asleep on his lap.
On her peaceful sleeping face, her long eyelashes were closed.
Ye Siming listened to the sound of the wheels moving on the gravel road.
The carriage was silent.
He thought quietly.
The human world was much more interesting than he thought.
He originally wanted to leave after repaying her kindness, but now, he felt that it was fine if he didn’t leave.
In any case, Gu Nuo’er only had a hundred years of lifespan.
At this moment, a blurry face suddenly flashed across Ye Siming’s mind.
...
Her black hair fluttered and her fishtail was orange and beautiful.
Her skin was as fair as pearls underwater.
Ye Siming frowned slightly.
He didn’t know who the person who saved him was, let alone what she looked like.
Could it be that there were water demons in Dingshan Lake?
Originally, according to the habits of the wolves,
He should also find this person and repay the favor.
However, he was very busy now and had to grow up with Gu Nuo’er.
He would think about finding the water demon in the future.
…
The next morning, Ye Siming went to attend court assembly with Bai Yi.
...
He was already Marquis Yongye and had the right to attend the court.
Moreover, he would also temporarily take on certain positions when the emperor required him to do so.
It hadn’t been long since the incident of the fifth prince’s assassination. The emperor had arranged for people to investigate the case, but there was still no progress till now.
During the court session, Gu Yihan’s expression was dark.
“You can’t even find the mastermind behind these few assassins. Am I keeping you guys for nothing?”
The officials below kept quiet.
Ye Siming, on the other hand, had a relaxed attitude. He looked sideways at General Song, who was not far away, provocatively.
General Song couldn’t hold it in after seeing Ye Siming’s glance!
He suddenly stood out and cupped his hands. “Your Majesty, please uphold justice for this subject’s son!”
Gu Yihan frowned impatiently. “I’m the emperor of the world and not an upright official who is supposed to be the judge for your family matters. Why does your family always like to look for me to distinguish right from wrong?”
General Song knelt on the ground and said sincerely, “This time, this subject’s son really met with misfortune!”
...
He pointed at Ye Siming and said, “Yesterday afternoon, Marquis Yongye suddenly charged into this subject’s manor, and this subject’s son was beaten up!
“Qi Yuan is still lying on the bed and can’t get up. The doctor said that he was just short of having his bones broken. Although his injuries are all superficial wounds, it was a shocking sight!
“This subject has always been responsible in fulfilling my duties. Your Majesty, please uphold justice for this subject’s son!”
Bai Yi was shocked and turned to look at Ye Siming.
He signaled with his eyes: Such a thing happened?!
Ye Siming glanced at him indifferently and nodded.
