In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1171 - 1083: The Centipede Dies But Never Falls Down

Chapter 1171: Chapter 1083: The Centipede Dies But Never Falls Down

Yet another thought occurred to her, and it seemed quite normal.

Liu Xuan’er, although confined within the palace, surely must have heard about the fire at the Liu Family’s Mansion.

If she couldn’t think it through and decided to make a move against Su Pan’er, it would be understandable.

As Qin Yi reflected on these matters, Su Pan’er naturally did the same. Their gazes met in the air and both flickered with a cold glint.

"I am already aware of this matter, you may leave. And send in King Ye while you’re at it."

After instructing the secret guard to leave, Qin Yi stood up to help Su Pan’er as they walked towards the inner chamber, "I still have state affairs to deal with today. Your health is not like before, so rest early and don’t catch a cold, it’s still chilly out."

"I understand. Your Majesty, you should also take good care of your health."

Su Pan’er actually wanted to stay, but knowing their discussion of state affairs would be inconvenient with her present, she changed the subject, "Very well, I shall return and rest. Since the weather is cold, why don’t I have the Imperial Kitchen prepare some light wine and dishes to send over?"

Remembering that King Ye would be coming soon, Qin Yi swallowed his initial urge to refuse.

"That would be good, trouble Pan’er for this."

"Are you being silly? There’s no need for words of hardship between husband and wife."

Su Pan’er smiled at once and after making arrangements for what would follow, she left for the Warm Pavilion before Ye Han entered.

No sooner had she left than Ye Han strode in, greeting Qin Yi with a fist clasped, "Your Majesty."

"Come, have a seat."

Qin Yi gestured for him to sit down, "These wine and dishes are prepared by Pan’er, concerned that you are cold and chilled, specially arranged from the Imperial Kitchen to warm you up. Have a cup, don’t let her kind intentions go to waste."

"Does Your Majesty feel jealous that the Empress cares for this humble subject, her elder brother? Listen to how sour Your Majesty sounds, the tang of it could spread ten miles away."

Ye Han jestingly said, his face however remained dead serious, which made Qin Yi unable to help but stare wide-eyed.

"I never imagined King Ye to be one for jests!"

Qin Yi suddenly burst into laughter!

This was his first time hearing Ye Han speak in such a tone.

A blush crept across Ye Han’s face, but due to his habitually stoic expression and the candlelight of the night, no flaws were discernible.

"This subject is not joking," he emphasized soberly, "This subject fears that the Empress might not believe what you had the secret guard report in front of her. However, fortunately, it can still round out the account."

"Though I did not reveal the truth to Pan’er, Liu Jieyu indeed acted against her. I couldn’t tell her too much, just the most acceptable outcome to her, for her sake, and more so for the child in her womb. You also know how much I am looking forward to that unborn child."

Clear in his mind, Qin Yi remembered that to prevent any future trouble, he had ingested the decoction that made it impossible for a man to father children. Maybe the twins in Pan’er’s belly were his last chance at fatherhood.

"You have considered everything thoroughly."

Ye Han also thought he spoke well, "However, does Your Majesty not intend to investigate further? The Liu Family might be weakened now, but a camel thinned by starvation is still larger than a horse. Now that they’ve stretched their hands into the Imperial Palace, their overextending arm should be chopped off decisively. Some people know when to restrain themselves, but others, even if they have been hurt, scared, they won’t turn back even after hitting the South Wall! Against such people, one cannot afford to be lenient."

Ye Han spoke ferociously!

The Liu Family had indeed quite the audacity, to incite Ye Han to murderous thoughts, truly living up to the saying, "An insect with a hundred legs dies but never falls stiff."

"How have I treated the Liu Family over the years, are you not very clear on that?"

Qin Yi personally picked up the wine jar and filled Ye Han’s cup, "If I were to act against the Liu Family, what would people think of Pan’er? I don’t care about my own reputation, but I cannot tolerate those who plan to mock and maliciously frame Pan’er."

No matter how capable he was, sitting high on the dragon throne, anything that could harm Pan’er was something he was unwilling to do.

But the Liu Family’s audacity was too much!

Thinking of what the Liu Family had done, Qin Yi gripped the wine jar so tightly that his veins bulged, a clear sign of extreme anger.

Ye Han didn’t say a word but picked up his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.

"The Liu Family? Is there still a Liu Family’s Mansion now?"

Ye Han glanced at him, his eyes holding significant meaning, "Since there’s no longer a Liu Family’s Mansion, what do the others matter? Your Majesty, you are too persistent, and that’s why you complicate simple issues."

He wasn’t being too persistent; he simply couldn’t bear to see Pan’er suffer the slightest grievance.

So he would rather suffer himself to give her the best of everything.

He understood his own heart, but there was no need to lay it out for Ye Han to hear. He then raised his eyebrow, "Since such an incident has occurred, keep a close watch on the Liu Family, and report back immediately with any news!"

This time, he would not be lenient!

Ye Han nodded in agreement and then stood up to take his leave.

Leaving Qin Yi behind, who began to flip through the dossier again and soon summoned two ministers for entering the palace.

While Qin Yi was busy, Su Pan’er was not idle either.

She undid her hair bun, staring at the gauze fabric in her hand for a while before asking Jiu Lan, "How’s the investigation going that I had you look into before?"

She had sent Jiu Lan to investigate the matter between Feng Xiyue and that man after she came back Yesterday.

Jiu Lan, who was arranging Su Pan’er’s bedding, turned upon hearing her, "Your servant has already sent people to investigate, but no definite news has come yet. It was too chaotic Yesterday night, and with no witnesses around and the special identity of the other party, to continue without alerting them will probably not be swift."

"Understood. Tell the people you’ve sent to accelerate their efforts. If they can’t avoid alerting him, then don’t bother hiding. Have them clarify the matter as soon as possible."

Su Pan’er was losing patience with that affair.

Right now, her belly was growing by the day, and so was Feng Xiyue’s, and she could not wait any longer.

And that man, that man...

Thinking of this, Su Pan’er subconsciously clenched the Nine-tailed phoenix hairpin in front of her, as if the familiar voice was still echoing in her ears...

"Your servant understands."

Jiu Lan complied, finished arranging the bedding, and stepped forward to support Su Pan’er to lie down.

Su Pan’er let her take care of herself, and once she lay on the pillow, her eyes fixed on the void, she suddenly remembered something, "Keep an eye on Imperial Concubine Feng as well, report in detail where she has been, what she has done, and who she has met!"

Jiu Lan paused slightly, "Your servant did hear that a couple of days ago, someone sent in a New Year’s gift from her brother from outside the Imperial Palace, and she was very fond of it, keeping it close to herself."

Feng Jiu, Feng Xiyue’s brother, was certainly known to Su Pan’er. The moment she heard about him, a stubborn face appeared before her eyes.
