My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 422 Sending Off from the Capital

Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Sending Off from the Capital

Yet she always felt something was off.

"I found out that although that herb can cause memory loss, it’s not permanent. There is a secret recipe that can restore memory."

However, due to the passage of time, the recipe had long been lost.

Searching for it would indeed require considerable effort.

"We can look for the truth after all the current matters are resolved."

Chu Nanli didn’t have the energy to spare for this matter right now,

but she wouldn’t just ignore it.

"As long as we clarify what happened at that time, I don’t care about the specifics."

She wasn’t the original owner of this body and had no feelings for Ye Yunting.

Even if the father of the child in her belly might be him, she still wouldn’t feel anything.

Since Ye Jiuxiao had given her the choice, he naturally wouldn’t object.

No matter what decision Chu Nanli made, he would support her.

...

Ye Jiuxiao’s actions were quite direct.

He directly sent the people from Yang Xuan, along with that packet of medicinal powder, to the War King Residence.

When Ye Yunting found out that the items were sent by Ye Jiuxiao, he initially didn’t want to look at them.

But after he heard from Ye Yi what those things were, he suddenly became baffled.

"What is Uncle Emperor trying to imply?"

Ye Yunting furrowed his brows tightly, and if possible, he truly didn’t want to have anything to do with Ye Jiuxiao.

Just the thought of Ye Jiuxiao’s designs on Chu Nanli was enough to make him murderous.

It was a pity that with his current strength, he was nowhere near able to confront Ye Jiuxiao head on.

Being a prince, there were times when he couldn’t be too blatant in gathering forces.

If that aroused suspicion from his father, the emperor, it would be more loss than gain.

"The Regent King said this person was dispatched by Miss Yang from the Yang Family."

Ye Yi observed Ye Yunting’s expression before continuing, steeling himself to speak.

"It seems Miss Yang planned to have someone assassinate the Princess Consort."

"What?"

Ye Yunting abruptly set down the teacup in his hand, and the splashing tea dampened part of his robe.

But clearly, he had no time to care about that.

He stared fixedly at Ye Yi: "What did you just say Miss Yang wants to do?"

"Miss Yang had someone bribe a servant in the Princess Consort’s quarters, planning to mix this powder into the Princess Consort’s daily food. I’ve already had people inquire about it, and the drug is extremely potent; if the Princess Consort really ingested it, I’m afraid..."

"How audacious of her! She dares to plot against my child!"

Ye Yunting said this without realizing that he had once thought of harming the child in Chu Nanli’s womb.

Moreover, the medicine Bai Wuheng used on his behalf was actually just as harmful as the one Yang Xuan had used.

It was just that he hadn’t succeeded.

"I believe the Regent King sent these things so that you would make the decision yourself."

If Ye Yunting, due to the power of the Yang Family, didn’t execute Yang Xuan, then Ye Jiuxiao would certainly take matters into his own hands.

But if Ye Yunting took action, he would surely offend the Yang Family.

After all, the Yang Family had always firmly supported the prince.

If this incident upset the Yang Family, it would indeed be a case of more loss than gain.

Ye Yunting clearly understood what Ye Yi left unsaid, "Do you think I would be afraid of the Yang Family?"

Over the years, the Yang Family indeed had provided him with a lot of support.

But would he really be unable to accomplish anything without the Yang Family?

"I was just thinking, before you take action, maybe you should inform Consort Shu first?"

After all, knowing the character of Consort Yang Shu, if she learned that Ye Yunting was going to act against Yang Xuan, it would likely cause an uproar.

If the Yang Family got involved at that point, it would probably be even harder to settle matters.

"I am a Prince, if Father Emperor were to know that I’ve been so deeply involved with the Yang Family, how would I be able to face myself?"

From the beginning, Ye Yunting had never intended for Yang Xuan to become the War King’s Princess Consort.

The blood of the Yang Family already flowed through his veins.

Even if the Yang Family wished to shift their support to other chips on the table, it might not go as they wished.

Those princes might not be able to trust the Yang Family one hundred percent.

"Prince, but..."

Ye Yi wanted to persuade him further, but Ye Yunting clearly did not want to listen anymore.

"Enough, bring that woman here!"

He had to ask Yang Xuan why she would harm his child!

Before Ye Yi’s men arrived, Yang Xuan was still proudly daydreaming.

She fantasized about eliminating Chu Nanli, that woman, and then returning to the War King Residence to fight Lin Fuying in a life-or-death struggle.

However, before her daydream could finish, Ye Yi arrived with his men.

"Why have you come at this late hour? Is my cousin looking for me?"

Having just done something conscience-stricken, even though Yang Xuan was typically overbearing, she couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty at the moment.

She nervously avoided Ye Yi’s eyes, "If my cousin has something to find me for, send someone to give me a message, and I’ll go to the Prince Residence tomorrow, there’s no need for you to make a special trip, right?"

"Miss Yang, the Prince indeed has something to see you for, please come with me to the Prince Residence right away."

Ye Yi’s expression was serious, making Yang Xuan more nervous.

Could it be that the medicine she had instructed the maid to administer had not worked?

Yang Xuan was not worried that those around her would betray her.

Their Indentures of Servitude were all tightly held in the Yang Family’s grasp.

But she had clearly underestimated Ye Jiuxiao’s capability.

If his people were set on prying someone’s mouth open, it certainly wasn’t a problem.

"I’ve already prepared to rest, whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Yang Xuan always had a bad premonition and did not want to go with Ye Yi.

But obviously, Ye Yi was not going to give her a chance to choose.

Without further discussion, he took Yang Xuan to the War King Residence.

All the way there, no matter how Yang Xuan tried to probe, Ye Yi remained silent.

This made Yang Xuan’s anxiety grow even worse.

By the time they arrived at the War King Residence, it was almost midnight.

The whole Prince Residence was pitch dark, only Ye Yunting’s study had a faint light.

Yang Xuan felt an ominous feeling.

But still, she had no choice but to brazen it out and enter.

"Cousin, it’s so late, are you looking for me because..."

As soon as Yang Xuan entered the study, she caught sight of the person she had sent.

Her complexion instantly turned deathly pale.

Ye Yunting looked at her with a face full of disgust, "Whatever you have done, I am fully aware of it, no need for further lies!"

"Cousin, I really don’t know anything!"

Yang Xuan knew very well that at this moment, she couldn’t admit to anything, no matter what.

As long as she didn’t confess, and then let Princess Consort Yang Shu intervene, this matter could easily be glossed over.

As for whether something had happened to Chu Nanli, she really didn’t care at the moment.

Ye Yunting intended to say that the one Yang Xuan wanted to harm was his child.

But considering the Yang Family, he still kept silent.

The fewer people knew about this matter, the better.

"You may not know, but the person you arranged has already spoken the truth!"

Ye Yunting’s eyes were icily cold, wishing he could strangle her on the spot.

He couldn’t even bear to think about how he would feel if Chu Nanli really were to come to harm.
