In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1001: The News Brought by Ye Han

Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: The News Brought by Ye Han

"Whimper... What time is it now?"

Su Pan’er pushed away his support and sat up by herself.

The light bedding slipped off, revealing fragrant shoulders and a neck dappled with dark marks that made one’s thoughts wander, causing Qin Yi’s eyes to instantly deepen immeasurably.

"It’s almost rooster time, do you want to continue sleeping, or get up and bathe?"

Since it was already rooster time, Su Pan’er’s drowsiness instantly disappeared, and she hurriedly threw off the bedding and got out of bed.

"I’ll bathe first! I feel sticky all over and very uncomfortable. Where are Little Yanyan and Little Sugar Bean? Are they still outside eating pastries?"

She spoke casually, reaching for her underwear to put on, but was embraced from behind by a pair of large hands.

"Your body is so fragrant, so soft; it makes your husband adore you in every way and unable to stop! Pan’er..."

His large hands held on to her, unable to let go.

Su Pan’er’s legs went weak, and she nearly fell to the ground, but Qin Yi caught her in his arms in a smooth motion.

"Pan’er, are you so eager to throw yourself into my arms?"

In her ear, a low chuckle sounded, making Su Pan’er’s ears heat up and burn!

She felt even less steady on her feet.

"Don’t be hasty! Let’s first have a full meal, and in the evening, let me satisfy you properly..."

Just as Su Pan’er took the opportunity to struggle, she bumped into the nearby screen with a thud, and the pain that shot through her forehead made her cry out in pain, which in turn caused Qin Yi to laugh heartily.

This bastard, he loved to see her embarrass herself!

Su Pan’er ground her teeth in anger.

Before she could speak, Eunuch An hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ye requests an audience."

With Prince Ye Han seeking an audience, Qin Yi naturally wouldn’t turn him away. He looked at Su Pan’er with a touch of disappointment, withdrew his hands, sat up straight, and coughed, "Let him in quickly!"

Ye Han entered, looking travel-worn.

Still clad in heavy armor and dusty from the road, he seemed like he had come from a long journey. As soon as he entered the hall, he bowed deeply.

"Ye Han pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

"Brother Ye, please rise quickly! We are brothers, there’s no need for such formality in the future. Please take a seat, and we can talk at our leisure!"

Qin Yi personally went forward to help Ye Han to his feet.

After his ascension to the throne, Qin Yi had made Ye Han a Prince of a different surname, sharing wealth and honor with him! However, Ye Han didn’t let the title go to his head and act recklessly; instead, he served Qin Yi with the same wholehearted dedication he had shown the former emperor.

"The rites cannot be disregarded, your subject dares not presume."

Ye Han expressed his thanks and then turned to greet Su Pan’er, sitting to the side. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, clearly not expecting to see her here.

He lifted his head, swiftly glanced at Su Pan’er, and then quickly lowered it, "Your subject pays respects to the Empress!"

Pan’er was even more beautiful and captivating than before!

Every move she made exuded allure and nobility, along with the charm unique to mature women, like a peony in full, luscious bloom!

"Brother Ye, it’s been a long time since we last met."

Upon learning that Ye Han had arrived, Su Pan’er, realizing that it had been some time since she last saw him, deliberately stayed behind.

Ye Han seemed more haggard than before, the wrinkles between his eyebrows had deepened. It gave one the urge to reach out a hand, just to smooth away the furrows between his brows.

"This humble official has been busy with state affairs recently and seldom in Shengjing City, so it has been some time since I have seen the Empress."

Ye Han explained in a low voice.

It felt as though the Purple Zen Hall had inexplicably warmed up.

He greedily stole a glance at her, then carefully buried the joy in his heart.

"We’ve recently sent Brother Ye to handle some matters, so it’s normal for Pan’er not to have seen him. Please, have a seat!"

Qin Yi spoke to Su Pan’er and gestured for Ye Han to sit.

Ye Han thanked him and then took a seat at the edge of the chair that Eunuch An had personally brought over.

"Everyone, leave us!"

Qin Yi dismissed everyone around him, and after the Court Ladies and Internal Attendants had left, he then waved his sleeve, "Brother Ye, you hurried to the palace at such a late hour, is there something urgent?"

According to tradition, there were rules for locking the gates of Shengjing City and the palace at the Hour of the Dog. Any later, and Ye Han wouldn’t even be able to leave the palace!

"Indeed, there is something urgent."

Not a hint of relaxation was visible on Ye Han’s face, "Your Majesty, some days ago you had me investigate the monks at Huangjue Temple, but we haven’t seen any results so far. I have been pursuing Monk Liao Jue’s whereabouts recently. Now that I have received news about him, I rushed to the palace to report to Your Majesty."

"You’ve found the whereabouts of that old bald donkey, Liao Jue?"

Qin Yi stood up abruptly, his face unable to hide his elation, "Brother Ye, speak quickly, where has Liao Jue hidden himself!"

That bald donkey, Liao Jue, had almost brought his family to ruin. How could Qin Yi rest until he has settled this grudge?

Unfortunately, ever since he ascended the throne, he immediately ordered Ye Han to personally lead troops to Huangjue Temple to arrest Liao Jue. Unexpectedly, the bald donkey Liao Jue got the jump on them and escaped first!

This became the most regrettable matter for Qin Yi since his ascension to the throne!

"He has not gone far. On the contrary, he is hiding right under our noses."

Ye Han naturally knew of Qin Yi’s deep hatred for Liao Jue and hurriedly continued, "In these past days, this humble official has been tracking down Liao Jue’s whereabouts. For this purpose, I even turned Huangjue Temple upside down several times, causing the monks to complain bitterly. They even jointly submitted a petition to Your Majesty, causing you trouble."

Speaking of which, Ye Han felt a lingering fear of the craftiness of these monks.

These monks appeared pious and detached on the surface, claiming to be above mundane affairs, yet each was crafty and cunning. They hid Monk Liao Jue so well that, no matter how severely my men interrogated them, they couldn’t force them to disclose Liao Jue’s whereabouts.

Ye Han had no choice but to keep a close watch on everyone at Huangjue Temple, while secretly spreading a wide net, searching for Liao Jue’s whereabouts everywhere.

Persistence pays off!

As Ye Han repeatedly tracked down Liao Jue, someone secretly reported having seen Liao Jue near the outskirts outside the South City Gate!

This time, Ye Han was there to confirm the truth of this report.

"When I arrived, I found a manor hidden in a mountain valley. From the outside, this manor looked no different from any ordinary one. If there had to be a difference, it might be larger than a normal farm, and it was strange to find a farm in a mountain valley."

"I personally led men there, only to discover upon arrival that the farm was deserted, with no one inside. However, unintentionally, we discovered several secret passages beneath the manor..."

Upon hearing about secret passages, Qin Yi and Su Pan’er exchanged a look, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.

"Did you send someone to explore it?"

"This humble official ordered men to enter the secret passages, and they followed the trail. However, midway through, the tunnels collapsed, and my men were forced to return without success..."
