After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Ye Zhuxi did not expect that what greeted them was not her mother's joy, but soldiers surrounding the entrance of the general's mansion.

As soon as they entered the city, everyone who saw them stared at the two of them with strange looks.

Seeing this, several men sitting at the stall drinking tea exclaimed in surprise, "These two wanted criminals are too bold! They're wanted by the whole city and they still dare to run out so openly. They really don't care about their lives!"

"Yes! I also saw the General's Mansion surrounded by a huge crowd before. I don't know if I was seeing things!"

Ye Zhuxi was startled, and she murmured, "The General's Mansion..."

As more and more people started talking, Ye Zhuxi couldn't help but worry about her mother. She gripped Fu Jingyuan's hand tightly and asked, "Brother, what do they mean?"

Fu Jingyuan pursed his lips and looked around at the passersby who kept turning their heads.

"I don't know, let's hurry back and check!"

With that, the two quickly headed towards home.

"Madam, something terrible has happened! Miss and Young Master are back!"

Gu was startled as she calmly drank her tea, and the bamboo cup fell to the ground.

She stood up in a panic and said, "Quickly, secretly stop them, don't let them..."

"I'm afraid it's too late!" At this moment, Ye Qizheng came out and interrupted her.

……

When Fu Jingyuan pulled Ye Zhuxi to the entrance of the General's Mansion, they were surrounded by a large group of soldiers before they even got close.

"..."

Ye Zhuxi's expression tightened, and she subconsciously shielded Fu Jingyuan behind her, saying coldly, "Who sent you? Don't you know who we are?"

"Of course I know who you are, but we're here to arrest Fu Jingyuan. Miss Ye, please move aside!" Major General Chen, who was leading the group, pointed his knife at the man behind her.

Ye Zhuxi glanced at Fu Jingyuan, who was pursing his lips and remaining silent, then turned her head and looked sharply at the person who had spoken.

"why?"

“Fu Jingyuan killed Prince Ye, the evidence is conclusive. I was merely carrying out my official duties, so please do not obstruct me, Miss Ye!”

"Ye Fan is dead?" Ye Zhuxi was shocked.

Fu Jingyuan was not surprised. He glanced coldly at the shocked Ye Zhuxi and gently removed her hand that was protecting him.

He stepped forward and solemnly declared, "I did not kill Ye Fan!"

Major General Chen sneered: "The witnesses all say you killed him, and you still want to deny it! Take him away."

As he spoke, several guards with knives stepped forward to seize Fu Jingyuan.

Ye Zhuxi fiercely defended him: "We say we didn't kill him, that's all. Ye Fan brought it on himself, it has nothing to do with us!"

Seeing that Ye Zhuxi was still obstructing him, Major General Chen drew his sword and held it to her neck, his eyes cold: "If Miss Ye continues to obstruct me, then I will have no choice but to take you with me."

"Let's see who dares!"

At this moment, Madam Gu no longer cared about her image. She quickly stepped forward, pushed away the knife pressed against Ye Zhuxi, and then shielded her behind her. She looked up at Ye Qizheng, who had come out.

"This has nothing to do with my daughter. Take the person you want away!"

Ye Zhuxi was shocked. She tightly gripped Fu Jingyuan's sleeve: "Mother, my brother didn't kill anyone. He didn't kill Ye Fan."

Fu Jingyuan lowered his eyes, his face expressionless, but the light in his eyes gradually faded.

Ye Zhuxi felt a pang of pain in her heart upon seeing this. "My brother didn't..." She tried to say something more despite the danger, but Gu Shi stopped her firmly.

"Ye Qizheng, take the people you want and get out of here!"

Madam Gu didn't care whether Fu Jingyuan had killed anyone; she was only focused on Ye Zhuxi. As long as Ye Zhuxi was safe, she would pay any price.

Ye Qizheng had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and seeing Fu Jingyuan was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

He stepped down and kicked Fu Jingyuan several meters away.

Fu Jingyuan was injured and was kicked. When he fell to the ground, his face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Big brother!"

Ye Qizheng was still not satisfied with what he saw, so he walked over and raised his foot to kick him hard.

"Don't hit my older brother!"

Ignoring the danger, Ye Zhuxi broke free from Gu Shi and ran over to block Ye Qizheng's kick with her body.

Although Ye Qizheng is old, he was a man of both literary and martial talents in his youth, so you can imagine how powerful his kick was.

"Ye Zhuxi!!"

Fu Jingyuan's expressionless face flashed with surprise. He stared blankly at Ye Zhuxi, then struggled to sit up and hug her.

"..."

Ye Zhuxi frowned in pain, but before she could say anything, her head lolled to the side and she fainted.

"Ruo Ruo!" Madam Gu's eyes widened. She ran over and shoved Fu Jingyuan aside, shouting in panic at He Ye, "Quickly, find a doctor!"

Ye Qizheng was not about to let Fu Jingyuan off so easily, and reached out to take him away.

Fu Jingyuan raised his eyes, his gaze turning sinister. He took out the poison from his waist and threw it at Ye Qizheng, but Ye Qizheng dodged it with lightning speed.

Ye Qi saw the poison lying on the ground, his eyes filled with malice.

"I knew you were something special, and I was right!"

In the end, Fu Jingyuan was taken away by Ye Qizheng. As he left, his gaze fell on Ye Zhuxi, and his hands clenched tightly at his sides...

When Ye Zhuxi woke up, it was three days later. She opened her eyes and asked He Ye with a pale face, "Where is my brother?"

“Ye Qizheng… took her away!” He Ye lowered her head, not daring to look at her.

"..."

Ye Zhuxi pursed her lips tightly. Ignoring her weak body, she threw off the covers and tried to get out of bed.

"Miss, you're not fully recovered yet, you can't run around like that!" He Ye quickly got up to stop her.

"If you still consider me your mistress, then don't stop me!"

"Miss, you can hit me or scold me, but I will not let you leave the manor today. Your body can't take any more abuse!" He Ye knelt down and cried out.

"Now Ye Qi is all-powerful, and even the Emperor can't do anything about him. So what if you go out and find Fu Jingyuan?"

"..."

Lotus Leaf's words awakened Ye Zhuxi. She stared blankly into the distance, but some details from her past life surfaced in her mind.

In his past life, Ye Qizheng was just like he is now, wielding immense power and often disregarding the emperor.

It can be said that, apart from the Third Prince and the Crown Prince, he was the most powerful person in the court.

In his previous life, Ye Qizheng was no pushover either. Unwilling to remain a minor marquis for the rest of his life, he secretly recruited soldiers and planned to rebel when the emperor passed away.

Although he ultimately failed, taking him down still cost Ye Xiaoran a lot of energy, and indirectly led to his being dethroned shortly after ascending the throne, before he could even consolidate his power.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhuxi's eyes lit up. If she remembered correctly, Ye Qizheng had already prepared everything and was just waiting for the emperor to die.

If she tells the Emperor this information, then Fu Jingyuan will be saved.

"..."

She seemed to see a glimmer of hope and hurriedly called He Ye over: "I'll drink my medicine now. You hurry up and prepare the carriage. Come with me to the palace. I have a way to rescue my elder brother."
