Chapter Nine, is the Ministry of Justice really going to be visited?
Li Yun couldn't help but chuckle to herself; this person was indeed a little devil who feared no one
The women, who had turned pale with fear, became excited once again. Yun Qianyue, this time even the young prince of the dyeing family cannot protect you, let’s see who else can save you. Once you enter the prison of the Ministry of Justice, you can forget about coming out alive.
In the cold of dusk, your own younger sister has been imprisoned, yet you, as her elder brother, remain indifferent and sit there quite obediently. Those who do not know might think I am your biological brother!" Ye Qingran turned her gaze towards the young man who was still sitting steadily at the jade table, lost in thought over the chessboard and the scattered pieces, and smiled.
Ye Qingran watched Li Yun leave, not angry but instead smiling, the corners of her mouth slightly curling up; this little girl was much more interesting than she had been seven years ago
She does not believe that the ancient Ministry of Justice's prison can hold her
The viewing garden once again fell into silence, with only the sound of Li Yun being escorted away echoing. Not a bit disordered.
The night cast a piercing gaze, its light condensing into a fierce expression, as it silently observed Ye Qingran, lips pressed together without uttering a word
Indeed, while the two of us are here risking our lives to protect Sister Yue, you, as her biological brother, are sitting there quite complacently
The prince's hidden guards received the order and immediately stepped forward to apprehend Li Yun
Ye Qingran watched as Ye Tianqing approached, her eyes flickering slightly. Under the wide sleeves, she tightened her grip on Li Yun's hand for a moment, then released it, adopting a nonchalant demeanor as she smiled at Ye Tianqing
The entire viewing garden was filled with his laughter, as he laughed while watching Yun Muhan, who was unable to contain her joy. "Indeed, among those present, no one has killed fewer than her. This matter is merely a trivial one. The Crown Prince's hidden guards are truly making a mountain out of a molehill. Moreover, with Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang, the Empress, present, and with the old Lord Yun still alive, who could truly bully Sister Yue? Hahaha..." Moreover, with Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang, the Empress, present, and with the old Lord Yun still alive, who could truly bully Sister Yue? Hahaha...
Ye Tiankeng walked up to Ye Qingran and Li Yun, his slightly heavy gaze fixed on Ye Qingran for a moment, and he said lightly: "I am truly curious, how did Sister Yue manage to captivate our Heavenly Saint's chaotic demon prince, Young Master Ran? What makes you go to such lengths to protect her?"
Li Yun ignored the two and turned to leave. She was not a fool; on the contrary, she was exceptionally intelligent. Although she was new to this place, she had gathered enough information through the recent upheaval. If today, because of saving her, this pair of cousins were to turn against each other, then what was originally a minor incident of arson would escalate into a major affair. At that point, surviving would truly become a difficult task. Even if she had the ability to escape from the Ministry of Justice's prison, she would still fear being hunted down by the overwhelming power of the royal family, no matter how far she fled. It would be a case of losing more than gaining.
Li Yun averted her gaze to look at the scenery, not wanting to glance at this man even once
Still not keeping up, take Yun Qian Yue to the Ministry of Justice's prison! Ye Tianqing tightly clenched the initial momentum of his hand within his sleeve, as if he would strike the moment Ye Qingran made a move
Ye Tiankin's expression darkened as he warned, "This is not a joke; you need to think carefully. Not everything is a game."
Then you can certainly give it your best shot! Night Sky narrowed his eyes.
Ye Tiankin's expression softened slightly, yet he paid no heed. With a wave of his hand towards the hidden guard, the guard escorted Li Yun out.
Ye Qingran suddenly smiled and said, "Master Lu, it has been a long time since we last met. Have you missed me?"
Those young ladies turned pale with fear, as they were used to fighting fiercely with their half-sisters and concubines at home, but that was undoubtedly just child's play. They had never encountered such a grim scene. While they admired and revered the Crown Prince, they also felt an added sense of fear and trepidation. One by one, they involuntarily stepped back.
Hehe, I didn't expect that after seven years apart, the Crown Prince has become even more formidable. These hidden guards are truly elite warriors! I haven't fought in a long time, and I'm itching for a fight; I really want to test the strength of the Crown Prince's hidden guards. " After a moment, Ye Qingran raised her head and said with a light smile.
Ye Qingran's fingers suddenly moved, indicating that she was indeed about to take action. Li Yun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shook off the hand that Ye Qingran was holding and said indifferently: "Fine, it's just the Ministry of Justice's prison, I'll go."
The more Ye Qingran spoke, the happier she seemed, ignoring the dark expression on the Crown Prince's face. She waved at Li Yun, saying, "Sister Yue, you might as well go stay in the prison! Rest assured, the Ministry of Justice's prison is a good place, not just anyone can go there. The Crown Prince is also doing this for your own good; first, he takes you to silence the voices of the world. After you have your fun, you can come out just the same as before. As long as Uncle Emperor doesn't fall, and the Empress doesn't fall, and the Yun Wangfu doesn't fall, who can truly kill you?"

As long as Uncle Emperor doesn't fall, and the Empress doesn't fall, and the Yun Wangfu doesn't fall, who can truly kill you?
Ye Tianqing's expression was dark and filled with anger as he fixed his gaze on Ye Qingran. After a moment, he slowly stepped towards Ye Qingran and Li Yun, his strides steady. Although his steps were simple, they exuded a palpable aura of intense killing intent as he approached.
The man slowly raised his head upon hearing this, glanced over here for just a moment, then withdrew his gaze. His voice revealed no emotion, "With His Majesty the uncle and Her Majesty the aunt present, and although my grandfather at home is bedridden, he is still quite clear-headed, what Yue'er has done is merely a trivial matter. How could there be such a great uproar, even going so far as to dispatch the Crown Prince's hidden guards to apprehend her? It is truly an overreaction. This heir is not indifferent, but rather feels it is entirely unnecessary. How could there be such a great uproar, even going so far as to dispatch the Crown Prince's hidden guards to apprehend her? It is truly an overreaction. This heir is not indifferent, but rather feels it is entirely unnecessary. She is merely a small, weak woman. Among those present, who has not killed? Are they not all guilty?"
Ye Tiankeng could no longer remain seated, and suddenly stood up, angrily addressing Ye Qingran: "Ye Qingran, you have gone too far. Do not think that this prince's repeated indulgence of you means that you can act even more recklessly and disregard me. Do you dare to cause trouble again?"
A dense and oppressive atmosphere of secrecy pervades the entire viewing garden, which has fallen into a deathly silence
Night Qingran!" The prince's somber voice interrupted Night Qingran's words
Ye Qingran also squinted his eyes, seemingly stirred by the intense grip of Ye Tiankin, which ignited his anger. He spoke slowly, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so gracious, this humble prince shall give it a try. However, if all these hidden guards are lost, do not go crying to our royal uncle, claiming that I bullied you."
The Fourth Prince looked at Ye Tianqing, as if he had thought of something, and his expression changed repeatedly.
Ah, how boring it is. I originally thought that watching Sister Yue, such a flower-like beauty, suffer would inspire me to learn how to be a hero and save the beauty. I hoped that she would turn her heart away from the Crown Prince and instead devote her genuine affection to me, allowing me to experience the feeling of being loved to the point of life and death. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince did not give me, his younger brother, this opportunity, which is truly heartbreaking. Night Qingran's usually nonchalant expression rarely revealed a look of sorrow as he cast a resentful glance at Night Tianqing.

Night Qingran's usually nonchalant expression rarely revealed a look of sorrow as he cast a resentful glance at Night Tianqing.
Ye Qingran halted his steps, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. In an instant, he leisurely turned his head, looking at Ye Tiankong's furious expression and smilingly said: "How could I dare to not regard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Today, I can clearly see that you are wearing the Crown Prince's ceremonial robes. This bright yellow color is indeed striking; apart from the Emperor, you are the only one in the entire Tian Sheng who dares to wear it. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to not recognize you"
The queen averted her gaze, seemingly letting out a silent sigh, her brows and eyes gathering an indescribable shade of sorrow and concern. The gentle and dignified demeanor of the queen appeared to lose some of its luster due to her transformation.
What does it mean to do everything to protect her? Ye Qingran rolled her eyes dramatically, saying, I didn't even try my best, okay? If I had tried my best, would she still be here? She would have long been sleeping soundly in the boudoir of the Cloud King's residence.
At that moment, an elderly eunuch hurriedly ran over from a distance, approximately fifty years of age, well-preserved, dressed in the attire of a grand eunuch of the imperial court, holding a Buddhist whisk in his hand. While he ran and gasped for breath, he appeared slow, yet he quickly reached the front, just in time to block the steps of the Crown Prince's hidden guards escorting Li Yun away.
"Your Highness, this matter requires me, the old servant, to handle it personally. I fear that if someone else were to take on this task, I might fail in my duty to Young Master Jing. In that case, I would be unable to bear the consequences." Eunuch Lu glanced at Li Yun, and after responding to Night Tianqing, he turned to the restrained Li Yun. Seemingly oblivious to the murderous aura of the Crown Prince's hidden guards, he cheerfully said to her: "Young Master Jing instructed me to inform Miss Qianyue that he is aware she has also come to the poetry appreciation event today. He is currently playing chess with the Emperor, and the game is about to conclude. He asks Miss Qianyue to wait for him at the palace gate, and shortly, he will accompany her to visit Old Lord Yun at the Yun Wangfu."
Li Yun secretly praised, Ha, so the truly formidable person is here
Ye Tiankin looked at the old eunuch with a furrowed brow
"Oh dear, Young Prince Ran, this old servant has naturally missed you. Since you left seven years ago, I have thought of you day and night, eagerly hoping for your early return!" The old eunuch looked at Ye Qingran, and after finishing his sentence, his brows and eyes were filled with joy. He then bowed deeply to the Empress, Ye Tianqing, Ye Qingran, and the Fourth Prince, saying, "This old servant pays his respects to Her Majesty the Empress, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Young Prince Ran, and the Fourth Prince..."
Ye Qingran was taken aback and turned to look at Li Yun. Ye Tianqing also looked at Li Yun.
"Since Master Lu is not attending to His Majesty, what brings you to personally make this trip?" Ye Tiankong asked in a softened tone.
As he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, "If you think living alone in prison is boring, I can keep you company; it would be just right for us to be companions. Ah, just like that, do you know how to play dice games? Can you play the game of crickets and build the Great Wall? Can you play..."
Ye Qingran was taken aback for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, his voice once again exuberant, seemingly extremely pleased. "What you said makes perfect sense, truly makes perfect sense. Brother Mu Han, I must admit that I have underestimated you in the past, hahahaha..."
Let us go, we shall head to the Ministry of Justice's prison together. The more I think about it, the more interesting it seems. Rest assured, with me around, you will definitely have a good time and not miss home at all. Night Qingran ignored Night Tiankin, turned around, and in a few quick steps reached Li Yun's side, waving away the Crown Prince's hidden guards, pulling Li Yun along as she walked, not forgetting to wave at the Crown Prince, "Crown Prince, your Highness, there is no need to send anyone with us, I am very familiar with the Ministry of Justice's prison and naturally know the way. Ah... it has been seven years since I last visited, I wonder if the head of the prison has changed? Does he still remember me? We could have a drink..."
Since the Queen intervened in this matter after appearing lightly at night, she has remained silent, and now she is merely watching from the sidelines
The prince's hidden guards all looked at the prince, awaiting his instructions.
Li Yun was taken aback and followed Ye Qingran's gaze to look at the man. Was that person her biological brother
The Crown Prince looked at the solemn Yun Muhan and Ye Qingran, whose faces were growing increasingly dark.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince also followed Ye Qingran's gaze and cast a glance at the man, his expression slightly shifting
