Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

The corpses on the ground could not be concealed. When Ye Mingyue and the others arrived, looking at the tombstones stained with blood, Ye Mingyue's eyes were so gloomy that he looked like he wanted to devour someone.

"Second brother, this... sigh." Ye Wanyu wanted to say something, but when she thought that the other party was Xie Bohuai, she had nothing to say.

Ye Ningde had risen to the fourth rank in recent years and was quite well-known in the capital, but even with such an official position, he was powerless against Xie Bohuai. He called Ye Mingyue aside and said, "Go and find Xie Bohuai. He's become even more fearless lately, but we all have a lot of people behind us. If this continues, the Ye family will be finished."

If someone can find this place to assassinate Xie Bohuai, then naturally others will come as well.

Ye Mingyue clenched his fist, glanced at his sister's tombstone, and rode his horse toward the capital.

Meanwhile, Xie Bohuai had already arrived at Prince Jing's residence. "Just hand this man over to your prince and let him think it over. Does he even want to live anymore?"

When the gatekeeper saw that it was Xie Bohuai, his legs trembled. "Master Xie...is there some misunderstanding?"

“If it’s a misunderstanding, then you need to use your brains. Why would it be a misunderstanding?” Xie Bohuai turned to leave, but was stopped by Prince Jing.

"Xie Bohuai, aren't you being too arrogant? No matter how much power you have, I am still a prince, and you must always bow to me!" Prince Jing angrily walked towards Xie Bohuai. If he hadn't been held back by his attendants, he might have rushed up to Xie Bohuai and attacked him.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Xie Bohuai gave a perfunctory bow and spread his hands in a gesture of respect, as if to say, "Is this alright?"

Prince Jing was even angrier. "Fine, fine, you look down on me, huh? I'm going to see my father and have him deal with you!"

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to go?" Xie Bohuai looked at Prince Jing with a half-smile. "Now, Prince Hui has been deposed, and the deposed crown prince is dead. All that's left are you princes. Who instigated you? Who wants to use someone else to do their dirty work? Don't you want to think about it?"

It was a normal thing that Prince Jing wouldn't have thought of right away, but Xie Bohuai's words were blunt enough that he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Prince Jing dislikes Xie Bohuai, but he's not stupid enough to be completely foolish. Who is trying to use someone else to do the dirty work?

Prince Jing had the answer in his heart; he clenched his fist and glared at Xie Bohuai.

"Since you've thought of that, you should think about your own affairs first. Don't become someone else's pawn and end up offending everyone. I'm not afraid of death, but aren't you?" Xie Bohuai said bluntly. He glanced at Prince Jing, then turned and left.

Qingshan asked if they were not going to pursue the matter further.

"It's more interesting when dogs fight each other. Prince Jing is a brainless dog. Letting him out will give Prince Cheng and the others a headache." Xie Bohuai had his own ideas.

Qingshan then understood his master's meaning. He was actually very curious about whose name was behind the "Upright and Just" plaque. Regardless of who it was, he felt it was detrimental to his master. He had secretly asked Siyan, but Siyan advised him not to know, otherwise someone might trick him into revealing information.

Qingshan agreed. If he knew, others would inevitably find out too. He figured his master knew, but if he did, why did he still offend these princes?

Qingshan couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it; his brain really wasn't working properly.

On the way back, Xie Bohuai encountered Li Mao, the heir apparent of Prince Duan. He was riding a horse, while Li Mao was sitting in a carriage.

"Lord Xie, did you come back from the Ye family's ancestral graves?" Li Mao called out to Xie Bohuai.

Xie Bohuai: "What's up?"

“I just want to give you a piece of advice: be forgiving when you can. Forgiving others is also forgiving yourself. Why offend Uncle Wu and the others so much?” Li Mao said sincerely. “I know I’ve said too much, but I know you have no intention of usurping the throne. In that case, leave yourself a way out.”

"Like you?" Xie Bohuai looked Li Mao up and down, his tone very impolite.

Li Mao blushed immediately. He didn't mean it that way, but Xie Bohuai had already ridden away.

Princess Jiahe, inside the carriage, said indignantly, "He really doesn't appreciate kindness. If it weren't for Wanning's sake, I wouldn't have let you persuade him. Let's go, brother, we should go see Wanning."

For the past three years, Princess Jiahe has visited Ye Wanning's grave every year.

The connections between people are wonderful. Even though they hadn't known each other for long, she just couldn't forget Ye Wanning.

When Ye Mingyue found Xie Bohuai, Xie Bohuai was already drinking tea at home. This was the house he had bought for Xu Zhuling from Ye Wanning.

"Xie Bohuai, can't you just let the Ye family go?" Ye Mingyue glared at Xie Bohuai with fury. He couldn't understand how someone like Xie Bohuai could be so obsessed with Wan Ning.

"Okay, I won't go again."

Xie Bohuai's answer stunned Ye Mingyue instantly. He had a bellyful of cursing words, but he didn't need to say them now.

"You agree?" Ye Mingyue confirmed.

Xie Bohuai said, "This is my third answer today. Yes, I will not go to your Ye family's ancestral graves again. Do you have any other requests?"

"I..." Meeting Xie Bohuai's eyes, which were as still as dead water, Ye Mingyue suddenly felt a hollowness in his heart, but this was the result he wanted. "I have no other requests. Just live your life from now on and stop making such a fuss. Even if you don't get married, there are still so many people in the courtyard. Do you want to watch them die with you?"

After listening to Ye Mingyue's rambling on and on, Xie Bohuai suddenly laughed, "Then ask them, who among them is afraid of death? Those who are afraid of death can leave at any time, and I will absolutely not pursue the matter. Ye Mingyue, do you also believe that I want to usurp the throne?"

Ye Mingyue really didn't know how to put it.

Sometimes Ye Mingyue felt that Xie Bohuai simply wanted to take revenge on society, but other times he thought that Xie Bohuai had gone to great lengths, so he couldn't just give up everything, could he?

He didn't understand.

"You'd better watch yourself." With those words, Ye Mingyue turned and left.

The imperial decree demoting Prince Hui had barely been issued when, not long after, Prince Hui rebelled. The court dispatched Lu Fengnian to suppress the rebellion, a task that took half a month.

After the war broke out, the powerful and wealthy in the capital were filled with fear, and everyone was afraid that they would be the next Prince Hui.

At this moment, Princess Longyu received a secret letter from an undercover agent, saying that Ye Wanning had used the jade pendant and exposed herself to the Zhenfu Division and Prince Hui's men, and that she would probably not be able to hide it any longer.
