The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Shen Leyan stared at Ye Jinyu who was kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes. She wished she could execute her immediately.

Ye Jinyu vaguely sensed Shen Leyan's thoughts, and began to cry and beg for mercy in fear.

"Your Majesty, please understand. Princess Jiayin ordered me to do all this. This servant did not do it on purpose..."

"This humble servant is willing to atone for her crime and testify against Princess Jiayin."

"Please let me go. I will never dare to do it again."

Shen Leyan looked coldly at Ye Jinyu who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and slowly calmed down. She decided to let Ye Jinyu go first.

It’s not that she was moved by Ye Jinyu, but she felt that Ye Jinyu would be of great use if she kept him.

Perhaps Ye Jinyu can be of great help in bringing down Princess Jiayin and the eldest princess behind her!

Shen Leyan slowly said, "I will trust you for once. If you can redeem yourself from your crime and make meritorious contributions, I will not pursue this matter."

"If my brother knew, he would definitely not blame you."

Sure enough, when Ye Jinyu heard these words, her eyes lit up.

Shen Leyan didn't expect that her brother's title would be so useful, so she took the opportunity to say, "The most urgent thing now is to find my brother and sister Yueyin as soon as possible."

"I'm counting on Miss Ye's help."

Ye Jinyu nodded hurriedly, "I understand. I will do my best to find Master Shen and the others."

"only……"

Ye Jinyu hesitated whether to speak or not...

She was afraid that if Shen Leyan knew that the secret guards her father sent out were to kill Master Shen and the others, Shen Leyan would be so angry that she would take it out on her...

"Just what?"

"Hello, your father... It seems he has also sent many people out to look for Master Shen and the others..."

"I already know."

Seeing Shen Leyan's calm demeanor, Ye Jinyu immediately said anxiously, "My father wants to take their lives directly, so that they can die without any evidence..."

Ye Jinyu regretted it the moment she finished shouting, and immediately curled up and knelt on the ground, feeling extremely scared.

If she wasn't worried about Mr. Shen's safety, she wouldn't dare to tell this matter.

If Shen Leyan didn't know how urgent the situation was and didn't take it seriously, then it would be all over if Young Master Shen was found by her father first!

Now she only hopes that she can redeem herself from her crime and successfully rescue Master Shen.

Ye Jinyu thought happily that Master Shen would not only not blame her, but might even be moved by her!

She wished she could find him immediately!

"Your Majesty, I heard from my father that it seems that the footprints of Master Shen and his companions were found in a cave near the back of Lingquan Mountain."

"Please send someone to search in that direction quickly. My father has sent out the most powerful secret guards this time."

"We can't let them find Master Shen first!"

"I know."

"Miss Ye, please go back first. If you get any other news, tell the owner of Wangjiang Tower, and he will pass the news on to me."

"Remember, don't let anyone know what happened today."

"If you truly reform yourself, I will do what I promised you."

"Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Shen Leyan nodded, "As for Princess Jiayin, you just need to behave as usual and don't let her notice anything unusual."

After Ye Jinyu took her leave, Shen Leyan immediately summoned her trusted people.

"My Lady, do you want to send someone to monitor Ye Jinyu?"

"No need, His Majesty's people from the Ye family are always watching."

She believed that Ye Jinyu was serious about her brother's matter. After all, she had just betrayed Ye's father for her brother.

"Quickly go and explore the area around the back of Lingquan Mountain, especially along the spring, and then look for nearby villages."

She remembered that when she went there with Emperor Yong'an before, there seemed to be people living in the woods not far away.

If my brother and the others passed by there, they would definitely hide in the nearby villages.

After the confidant took the order and left, Shen Leyan frowned and thought to herself.

She knew very well that this matter was extremely dangerous. Since the Ye family had sent out their most powerful secret guards, they would definitely not give up until they achieved their goal.

Moreover, if they join forces with the bandits, it would be easier to find the person.

After all, the bandits have been entrenched in those places for many years and are quite familiar with the terrain in the mountains.

At this time, in Guiyun Village at the foot of the mountain, Shangguan Yueyin was crying while feeding medicine to Shen Lebai, who was unconscious on the bed.

They stayed near the clear spring for one night, and at dawn, they discovered smoke rising from the foot of the mountain.

Shen Lebai guessed that there might be a village below. Although it was blocked by the jungle, some light smoke could still be seen floating out.

It just so happened that this was the time when the peasant women got up early to cook, so he decisively carried Shangguan Yueyin on his back and headed towards Qingyan.

Although the smoke looked not far away, I walked for a long time but didn't see any sign of a village.

Shen Lebai was already struggling with his injured body, and because of hunger and overwork, his steps were a little unsteady.

Without paying attention, he rolled down the slope with Shangguan Yueyin on his back.

Shen Lebai also fainted completely.

Shangguan Yueyin was extremely anxious at this time and burst into tears.

She struggled hard to get up and drag him away.

But after trying so hard, he didn't move much.

Just when she was in despair, she met a woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood.

Mr. Chai was kind-hearted and took the two back to the village for treatment.

At this moment, the village doctor walked into the room.

Shangguan Yueyin saw this and hurriedly grabbed the doctor's sleeve, crying, "Sir, when will he wake up?"

The doctor looked at Shen Lebai's injuries, felt her pulse, and sighed, "Don't worry, young lady. I have tried my best to treat her."

"It's just that this young master was injured too badly, and now the wound is infected and has caused a fever."

"Now I can't say for sure when he will wake up. I can only wait until his fever subsides and then see how he develops."

Shangguan Yueyin asked anxiously, "How can we get his fever down quickly?"

"If you want to reduce his fever quickly, in addition to medication, you can also place a wet handkerchief on his forehead every once in a while to help cool him down."

After hearing what the doctor said, Shangguan Yueyin immediately wanted to go out and fetch some water.

Aunt Li, who was washing vegetables outside the door, saw Shangguan Yueyin limping out and hurried over to support her.

He asked enthusiastically, "Why are you out, young lady?"

Shangguan Yueyin explained with a smile, "I'll fetch some water."

"Oh, young lady, you are such a fool! Why are you being so polite to me?" Aunt Li scolded her. "I'm just outside. Just call me."

"Your foot injury hasn't healed yet. What if you fall or bump into something?"

"It's okay, Auntie. My feet don't hurt much anymore."
