At this time, after the palace gate was closed, Ye Feng was brought in by the servants.

The female servant asked in fear and trepidation, "Sir, how did you get this jade pendant?"

Originally, she also thought that Ye Feng was here to make connections. After all, there are often some families that face crises and want to seek help from the Ye family, just like the two girls just now.

Unexpectedly, the man took out a jade pendant with the word "Ye" engraved on it.

This jade pendant was obviously no ordinary item, so she naturally did not dare to neglect it.

"It's my family heirloom. What? You want it?" Ye Feng said casually.

"Don't dare!"

The female servant waved her hands repeatedly.

Such a jade pendant is not only priceless, but also engraved with the word "Ye". How could she dare to dream of it?

"Take me in, I want to see the old lady."

Ye Feng said.

Hearing this, the female servant said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, the old lady has been out for a day and hasn't returned yet."

"Oh?"

Ye Feng put the jade pendant away and said, "Then take me directly to see Ye Batian."

When the three words "Ye Batian" came out, the female servant was so frightened that her legs went weak.

Looking around the world, no one dares to call Ye Huang by his name. This guy is really looking for death.

"Sir, no matter who you are, if you speak disrespectfully to Emperor Ye again, I will call for help." The maid said angrily.

"do not."

Ye Feng spoke out of turn for a moment and only reacted after being reminded.

He then said, "Come on, take me to see your master."

"I'm sorry, Emperor Ye is seriously ill and is not seeing guests. If you want to see him, please go back." The maid said impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng fell into hesitation.

Grandma is not here, so it seems like I came at a bad time today.

"Then take me to see the person in charge of your family." Ye Feng could only say.

"Okay, please follow me."

The maid brought Ye Feng in.

After twenty years of absence, Ye Feng still felt very familiar when he stepped into this palace again.

The entire palace is magnificent and covers an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square meters, which is larger than the Forbidden City.

The glazed palaces with red tiles and green walls rise and fall one after another, shining with a warm luster in the sun. The flying eaves and corners are like a phoenix with spread wings, pointing straight to the sky.

Ye Feng slowly stepped onto the white marble steps, his fingertips lightly stroking the railings carved with dragons and phoenixes. The cold touch made him feel as if he had returned to twenty years ago. Back then, he was only eight years old, and now...

"Mom and Dad, Yawaer is back. Where are you?"

As Ye Feng walked step by step, the past events came to his mind!

And at this time.

In the courtyard of the west wing.

"Old man, are you going to tell me or not?"

Snapped!

A woman asked, then whipped the old man with a whip, "I advise you not to be ungrateful. Emperor Ye will soon pass away. After his death, the Ye family will be ruled by my father. Those who disobey me will not have a good ending."

Done.

Another whip was given.

The old man had been whipped more than a dozen times, with whip marks all over his body and blood dripping from his body.

He is the richest man in Jiangzhou, Li Zhengde.

Also a servant of the Ye family!

The one who whipped him was Ye Yazhi, the daughter of Ye Badao, the second master of the Ye family.

Ye Yazhi is in her early forties, with a graceful figure. She looks elegant and graceful in a cheongsam, and her sharp eyes are extremely powerful.

"The master will not die, and you will never find out his condition from me."

Even though Li Zhengde was whipped, he remained unyielding.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Ye Yazhi whipped him again.

Then, she grabbed his hair and threatened him, "If my investigation is correct, you have a granddaughter, right? What's her name?"

"Oh, by the way, his name is Li Anlan."

"She should be doing well in Jiangzhou, right? If I capture her and sell her, I wonder if you will be heartbroken?"

She said this with a sly smile.

After hearing this, Li Zhengde protested excitedly, "If you want to target someone, target me, don't touch my granddaughter."

As soon as he stood up, he was kicked by Ye Yazhi and fell to the ground.

Then, Ye Yazhi shook the whip in her hand and stepped on his chest. "One last question for you. What is Ye Huang's current physical condition? How long can he live?"

Pooh!

Li Zhengde spat at her and said, "Master will not die. If you bully me like this, Master will definitely stand up for me."

He guessed that Ye Yazhi wanted to know the news of her master's death so much because she wanted to usurp the throne.

"Haha, you're still stubborn even when you're about to die? I'll beat you to death like I'll crush an ant."

Ye Yazhi rubbed the whip and said with a smug smile, "Even if you don't tell me, I can guess roughly. The old man probably won't live for many days. When he dies, I will not let go of anyone who has disobeyed me, and you will be the first one to be punished."

"How about this." She took out a dagger and squatted down. "Since you are still useful, as long as you do one thing for me, I will let your granddaughter and your Li family go."

Li Zhengde was helpless when Lanlan was threatened.

"What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple."

Ye Yazhi patted his face with a dagger and said, "You don't need to do anything too difficult. As soon as the old man dies, just tell me immediately."

To be honest, even now, she suspected that Ye Huang was dead.

However, the death had not been announced, so she couldn't be sure.

If she is not sure, she and her father will be restricted and unable to do anything!

"impossible!"

Li Zhengde would not betray his owner, nor would he collude with her.

If he had no choice, he would rather die.

Seeing that he still refused to compromise, Ye Yazhi lost her patience and stood up. "Alas, I gave you a chance but you don't know how to cherish it. Then I can only send you downstairs to wait for the old man."

"Since you are so loyal, just serve him well down there."

"Also, I'm afraid you'll be lonely down there, so I'll also send your beautiful granddaughter, from your Jiangzhou Li family, down there to keep you company."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Kill him and throw him into the lake to feed the fish."

Reality is so cruel. In the face of absolute level gap, a life is not worth mentioning.

If Ye Yazhi wanted to kill someone, she only needed one word. Even if that person was the richest man in Jiangzhou, he was no different from an ant in front of her.

Upon hearing this, the two guards on the side walked towards Li Zhengde with knives in hand.

Li Zhengde was not afraid of death, but she was worried that the Li family would be implicated after her death.

"Madam, you can kill me, but please let my Li family go. They are all innocent." Li Zhengde cried.

"No, no, no, you killed them, not me."

Ye Yazhi grabbed Li Zhengde's hair again, glaring at him. "I'll give you one last chance. If you can be my informant and help me find out about the old man's condition, not only will I not kill you, I'll also help your Li family prosper. How about that?"

"Then you might as well kill me."

Li Zhengde was unable to resist and closed his eyes.

If he had to choose between the two, he would have to sacrifice his granddaughter. No matter what, he could not betray Ye Huang.

Ye Yazhi was annoyed.

I gave him chances again and again, but he still didn't know what was good for him.

"Okay, I'll make it happen for you."

Ye Yazhi waved his hand and said, "Pull him down and kill him!"

"stop!"

Just as the two guards were about to take Li Zhengde away, a deep voice came from not far away.
