Chapter 1065: Chapter 1065 Read Between The Line
Stepping into the carriage, only Ye Liuyun discovered there was an independent space inside it.
It couldn’t say this was a large space. But inside, it had a thatched cottage, a courtyard, and even a tea table. The decoration for this place was plain and simple.
Around the tea table, an elegant middle-aged man was drinking tea there. When he saw Ye Liuyun walking towards him, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a bow.
"Lord Ye!"
After seeing the man’s face, the doppelganger immediately confirmed with Xia Tianqiong his identity. It turned out that the man was the Left Grand Chancellor, Xin Moyu.
"Left Grand Chancellor." Ye Liuyun saluted with cupped fists.
In fact, Ye Liuyun was Prince Yonglie, his status was much higher than the Left Grand Chancellor.
Yet, he didn’t dare to put on a neglectful attitude toward the Left Grand Chancellor.
"I’m sorry for disturbing you. Hope Lord Ye won’t blame me!" The Left Grand Chancellor apologized politely.
With that, the Left Grand Chancellor invited Ye Liuyun to have a seat and made him a cup of tea.
"No worries, Left Grand Chancellor. Actually, I don’t really understand the rules of the dynasty. Just tell me your concern."
Ye Liuyun wasn’t a person who like to beat around the bush. He even didn’t like to waste his time to entertain people.
"Haha! Lord Ye is indeed a straightforward person!"
Putting up a fake smile on his face, the Left Grand Chancellor placed the teapot down.
"Since Lord Ye doesn’t like drinking tea, I’ll get straight to the point!"
Ye Liuyun nodded in agreement. "Just say it, Left Grand Chancellor."
"Are the Ninth and Thirteenth Princesses staying with you now?" The Left Grand Chancellor asked directly.
"Yes," Ye Liuyun replied with certainty.
"Oh? That’s the reason why Emperor Xiao find me?" Ye Liuyun murmured to himself. He then looked suspiciously at the Left Grand Chancellor.
However, the Left Grand Chancellor didn’t continue the topic. Instead, he discussed with Ye Liuyun the incident of the Fourth Prince getting robbed. The weird attitude of the Left Grand Chancellor confused Ye Liuyun at the moment.
"Lord Ye, who do you think will kidnap those witnesses?"
The Left Grand Chancellor curled up his lips and stared at Ye Liuyun.
As for this question, Ye Liuyun thought the answer was obvious enough. Yet, the Left Grand Chancellor was still asking him. There must be something fishy about it!
"What do you think?" Ye Liuyun simply threw the question back to the Left Grand Chancellor. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
He was lazy to figure out the answer. It would be better to let the Left Grand Chancellor to tell him the truth.
"Hehe. Look, both the palm and back of the hand are made of flesh!" The Left Grand Chancellor didn’t answer him. Instead, he looked at his hands and appreciated them.
In all this time, the doppelganger had been conveying the conservation between Ye Liuyun and the Left Grand Chancellor to Xia Tianqiong and Lingshuang.
At first, Xia Tianqiong and Lingshuang felt weird about the Left Grand Chancellor’s question. But then, only did they come to their sense.
"Father doesn’t want to punish the Crown Prince. He doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it!"
The two of them reminded Ye Liuyun. Upon hearing their reminder, Ye Liuyun came to a sudden realization.
"So that’s how it is! If that’s the case, then the people who robbed the witnesses must be arranged by Emperor Xiao!"
The Left Grand Chancellor returned a smile and muttered, "Who knows? The finding isn’t out yet. I guess they are robbers from somewhere!"
With that, Ye Liuyun also nodded. "That’s right! The Central Continent is so big, so it’s inevitable that there will be some bold bandits. Just let them do whatever they want, there is no effect on it."
The Left Grand Chancellor nodded with a smile. He then said appreciatively, "Emperor Xiao knew the severity of this incident. He promises he’ll find out the truth. Besides, he’ll compensate Lord Ye!"
Upon hearing the Left Grand Chancellor’s words, Ye Liuyun immediately understood what was going on. Clearly, Emperor Xiao’s intention was if Ye Liuyun no longer pursue the responsible, he would compensate him.
Ye Liuyun then replied, "Then help me to say thank you to Emperor Xiao."
The Left Grand Chancellor waved his hand and said, "Lord Ye, don’t be in a hurry to say thank you. Did you give all the witnesses to the Fourth Prince? With so many witnesses you have caught, don’t you keep some of them for yourself?"
Shocked, Ye Liuyun figured inside his heart. "So the dynasty has guessed that I’ve kept some of the witnesses. But given the situation, if I admit it now, then I’m clearly going to go against Emperor Xia and expose the Crown Prince!"
Xia Tianqiong said with certainty, "Yes, I think the reason why the Left Grand Chancellor here is to ask you to suppress this matter."
"That’s right! You’d better answer no!" Lingshuang also suggested.
"Since he’s already suspicious, he won’t believe it even if I say no!" The doppelganger helped Ye Liuyun to refute the question.
"Just say all the witnesses are dead!" Xia Tianqiong added.
In the meantime, Ye Liuyun told the Left Grand Chancellor the truth, "I did leave some of them with me..."
Upon hearing this, the Left Grand Chancellor’s expression turned cold as he stared at Ye Liuyun.
However, Ye Liuyun continued calmly, "However... I forgot to isolate them from the feral beasts. In the end, they were all eaten by the feral beasts! What should I do?"
"Hahaha! Lord Ye is humorous. Splitting of your sentence makes me feel nervous!"
With that, the Left Grand Chancellor’s expression immediately softened and turned back to normal.
Then he pretended to feel sorry and said in a pitiful voice, "All of them are dead? That’s a pity! Dead people are best at keeping secrets. In this way, we won’t have any clues to find out the truth!"
"That’s right! I haven’t had time to interrogate them yet!" Ye Liuyun also pretended to feel pity.
"This fellow! He has a great acting skills!" Looking at Ye Liuyun’s performance, the Left Grand Chancellor laughed quietly in his heart.
It was the same for Ye Liuyun. In his heart, he murmured, "This old fellow, he’s beating around the bush. I even need to cooperate with his acting. Now that we’re done talking, just allow me to leave now!"
What Ye Liuyun wanted now was just for them to end their conversation as soon as possible.
Yet, things went wrong. The Left Grand Chancellor was still chatting with him leisurely.
"I heard that the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Seventh Prince are fellow disciples of Lord Ye?"
"Isn’t that obvious? You still have to hear from it?" Ye Liuyun cursed in his heart.
However, he still replied politely, "That’s right. We are indeed from the Hidden Dragon Academy."
"Lord Ye seems to be closer to the Fourth Prince?" the Left Grand Chancellor asked tentatively.
"He is trying to know which prince you’re supporting." Lingshuang explained to Ye Liuyun’s doppelganger.
"Nah! Don’t say it out! Even if you have the prince you’re supporting, don’t tell him!" Xia Tianqiong immediately reminded Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun had already understood the Left Grand Chancellor’s intentions. Even if the two of them didn’t remind him, he wouldn’t expose himself.
"Actually, I’m not familiar with the princes. But since the Fourth Prince is willing to help, why not I just find him?"
"Oh! So that’s how it is! Lord Ye, in your opinion, which prince do you think has a better future?" The Left Grand Chancellor continued to ask him.
A chuckling sound rang up when hearing the Left Grand Chancellor’s question, Ye Liuyun then replied, "Emperor Xia should be more aware of which prince has a better future than I do. I’m not interested in the affairs of the dynasty! I’m just a martial practitioner. I only wish to cultivate and improve my power. As for the others, they are none of my business!"
Receiving the answer from Ye Liuyun, the Left Grand Chancellor nodded. "Indeed. Only Emperor Xiao knows which prince has the most promising future!"
He was stunned for a moment before he looked at Ye Liuyun. His intentions were quite clear; Emperor Xia had the final say in this matter. He now alerted Ye Liuyun to try not to mess up with Emperor Xiao.
Seeing that Ye Liuyun was listening to what he said, he continued to put on a fake smile and said, "Lord Ye is now a prince, how can you not care about the affairs of the dynasty? Besides... I don’t think you can simply hand off some matters since you’re the prince."
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun agreed with what the Left Grand Chancellor had said.
Just took the incident between the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince as an example. He had been involved in the matter unconsciously. It was not easy for him to get rid of them.
