After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Ye Qingyu said anxiously, "Master Cao, Sister Pei and I will just watch them from a distance and won't get close. I heard from my aunt that they seemed injured, and I'm worried if I don't check on them. Please give me some space."

Pei Xuqing said with tears in his eyes, "Please, Master Cao, we can just watch from a distance. Really, it won't take long, just a look will be enough."

As soon as she heard that Gu Yuanchen was injured, she knew that he must have been tortured, and she felt so heartbroken.

That man always had a bright smile and a healthy body. She had never seen him injured, so how could she see him injured? She still remembered the first time she saw that handsome figure. He was like a heavenly general descending from the sky. With a wave of his hand, he beat the hooligans who wanted to bully her into a pulp. He had a cold and handsome face when facing those hooligans, but when he turned to her, his smile was as dazzling as the summer sun.

He gave her his cloak to cover her torn dress, and he got a carriage from somewhere, but he personally sent her home before leaving. He didn't even tell her his name. He did not expect anything in return, and his thoughtful and considerate attitude touched her heart.

So, when the Gu family came to propose marriage, she hid behind the screen, and when she saw it was him, she agreed to the marriage.

When she knew that he had been deceived and wanted to cancel the engagement, she was angry and resentful, but when she saw how he had lost his edge and looked decadent and ashamed after being deceived, she couldn't bear to blame him.

Lord Cao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take you to have a look from a distance, but you can't make any noise and you'll leave immediately after you're done."

They both nodded at the same time, "Okay."

The two followed Lord Cao deeper into the cell. The further they went, the more empty cells appeared on both sides. Not far from a cell occupied by Jinyiwei, Lord Cao stopped and whispered, "They are inside. You can take a quiet look from here."

Ye Qingyu looked towards the prison cell not far away, and saw two people in blood-stained clothes lying on a straw mat under the dim candlelight. Ye Qingyu bit her lips tightly, and anger was surging in her cold eyes.

She knew her cousins ​​were not in any danger, but she didn't want to see even minor injuries.

Pei Xuqing covered his mouth, tears flowing silently.

Ye Qingyu looked at Lord Cao and nodded, and Lord Cao took the two of them away.

After leaving the Ministry of Justice prison, Ye Qingyu handed a bottle of medicine to Lord Cao, "Lord Cao, please give this medicine to my two cousins ​​at the appropriate time."

Lord Cao took the medicine bottle and nodded, "Don't worry, Miss Ye."

Ye Qingyu knelt deeply and bowed, "Thank you for everything." After saying that, she turned and walked towards the carriage.

Lord Cao suddenly spoke up, "Why doesn't Miss Ye ask the Duke of Zhenguo and General Gu?"

Ye Qingyu turned her head to look at Lord Cao, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and the light in her eyes startled Lord Cao.

Ye Qingyu bowed again and took Pei Xuqing into the carriage.

At this moment, a low-key green-shed carriage passed by Ye Qingyu's carriage and stopped in front of the Ministry of Justice.

Ye Qingyu lifted the car curtain and looked in curiosity.

Then a slim woman wearing a veiled hat took the hand of the maid and called out to stop Lord Cao who was about to leave.

The woman seemed to hand something to Lord Cao, and Lord Cao's expression changed. He took the woman into the Ministry of Justice prison with a respectful attitude.

As the carriage moved further away, Ye Qingyu lowered the curtains, wondering in her heart, who was this woman? Why did Lord Cao have that attitude?

Pei Xuqing, who had returned to the carriage, could no longer suppress her tears and sobbed uncontrollably. Cui Yu looked at her young lady, who was crying so hard, and was at a loss as to what to do. "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you? Miss Ye, what's wrong with my young lady? But, but has something happened to the Fourth Master Gu?"

Cui Yu had been with Pei Xuqing since she was a child, so she naturally knew how much her young lady cared about the Fourth Young Master Gu. She thought that something might have happened to the Fourth Young Master, and her eyes were filled with fear.

What if something really happened to Mr. Gu Si? What would her young lady do?

Ye Qingyu gently soothed, "Sister Pei, Fourth Cousin's injuries are probably just superficial. Don't worry, he's got thick skin and flesh. He'll be healed in a few days with the medicine."

After hearing Ye Qingyu's words, Cui Yu felt relieved. Fortunately, fortunately, Mr. Gu Si was fine.

She soothed him softly, "Miss, Miss Ye has already said that the Fourth Young Master is fine. Don't be sad. Quickly wipe your tears. If the Master and his wife see you, I wonder what they will think."

Pei Xuqing raised his tear-filled eyes and sobbed, "I, I don't want to cry either, but seeing him, covered in blood, I can't help it. Qingyu, do you think they will torture him again? If they do, what should we do? Can his body withstand it?"

The thought of Gu Yuanchen suffering further and getting hurt even more made her feel even worse.

Ye Qingyu softly comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Pei, Fourth cousin will be fine." There are some things that she cannot explain too clearly, just like she does not understand why Pei Xuqing has such deep feelings for Fourth cousin, and she is not in a position to ask.

Ye Qingyu first sent Pei Xuqing back to Pei Mansion before returning to Prince Chu's Mansion.

At the back door of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, in the hazy morning light, Ye Qingyu saw Shen Yanli waiting there quietly from afar.

Seeing Ye Qingyu get off the carriage safely, Shen Yanli didn't ask anything. With tenderness and tenderness in his eyes, he handed her a light cloak and said, "It's a little foggy. Put it on and don't catch a cold."

Ye Qingyu took it with a gentle smile, "I'm sorry to have worried you. Go back and take a nap."

Shen Yanli smiled and shook his head, "It's time for the morning court. Go back and take a nap. You don't have to wait for me for breakfast."

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."

"it is good."

Ye Qingyu watched Shen Yanli's carriage go away before returning to the palace.

……

In the court, Emperor Jingyou listened solemnly to the report of Liu Yong, the Minister of War. "Your Majesty, a hundred thousand troops have been assembled outside the city and are ready to set out at any time."

Emperor Jingyou asked, "Where are the food supplies?"

Minister Liu's expression froze. "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has not yet prepared all the food and fodder for the 100,000-man army."

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue knelt on the ground trembling with fear and panic. "Your Majesty, it's not that I haven't tried hard. You know we are short of food. A month's supply of food for an army of 100,000 is not a small amount. We haven't even collected the food we owed to the Northern Border Army this year."

Emperor Jingyou was furious. "You also know that the Ministry of Revenue still owes food and fodder to the Northern Border Army! What is your Ministry of Revenue doing?"

The Right Assistant Minister felt both aggrieved and afraid. He was only the third in command in the Ministry of Revenue. When would it be his turn to have the final say? What bad luck had befallen the Ministry of Revenue this year? All the grain and silver were lost, the Shangshu was still in jail, and the cunning Left Assistant Minister was feigning illness and staying at home, leaving him alone to clean up such a huge mess. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he would still be powerless without rice.

The Right Assistant Minister shed tears of grievance, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. How about you issue an order to let the Left Assistant Minister come back to work?"

It was the first time that Emperor Jingyou had seen such a shameless minister. He almost laughed out of anger, "Where is the Left Minister?"
