The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 451 Joy of Life 7

Could it be that Ye Qingmei was secretly harmed by the court because she touched upon the court's interests?

Logically speaking, even if the imperial court coveted the enormous wealth Ye Qingmei had accumulated with those novel items, it would only fabricate charges to justify its actions against her and take over her assets. How could it possibly resort to such complicated and secretive methods?

Moreover, if the imperial court were truly involved, how could it not leave any trace?

Ye Qingmei brought about earth-shattering changes to this world, but in the end, she disappeared without a trace, as if she had never existed, leaving no mark on this world.

It was as if someone had deliberately erased her existence.

Who exactly erased the traces of Ye Qingmei's existence in this world?

Why did he do this? And why did he choose such a complicated method?

And what is his identity? How could he possess such power, and so completely erase all traces of someone who has had such a significant impact on the world?

But who exactly is Ye Qingmei?

Aside from the novelties she used in daily life, what else did she do for the world? Why was she treated this way in the end?

A series of questions rushed into Li Chengze's mind.

Li Chengze took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and sort out all his thoughts little by little.

Don't rush!

In this world, everything that happens will inevitably leave its mark.

If no trace can be found, it means that a more complex problem is hidden behind it.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and a ray of orange-red afterglow pierced through the doors and windows, gently falling on Li Chengze.

He closed his eyes and sat crosswise on the swing in the room, his body swaying with the gentle swing.

Swing! Swing!

One beat after another, with a distinct yet gentle rhythm.

As he swayed rhythmically, the turmoil in his heart gradually subsided, and his thoughts slowly became clearer.

Ye Qingmei, Ye Qingmei.

known conditions:

First, Ye Qingmei is a time traveler;

Second, in a very short period of time, she produced many things that were enough to influence the entire world.

Third, she has been deliberately erased from this world, and is now very likely dead.

Based on the above information, it can be reasonably inferred that Ye Qingmei's initial status in this world was not very high.

Because if she were born into a powerful and influential family, then once the family knew that she possessed something of such immense value, they would certainly have carefully planned to maximize the value of that thing.

And before it is exposed, they will definitely make full preparations to prevent the court from easily getting its hands on it.

It was precisely because Ye Qingmei's initial status after transmigrating was not high that she chose to take out all these things at once, hoping to quickly accumulate wealth and gain a certain status in this world.

Today, Qingyutang, which has amassed a fortune through its products such as glass, soap, perfume, and wine, has proven that these things can indeed bring enormous wealth.

Secondly, Ye Qingmei must have a powerful force supporting her; otherwise, she could not have introduced these advanced things into the world so smoothly, let alone safeguard such a vast fortune.

This leads to the third point.

The reason why Ye Qingmei was ultimately erased from existence was most likely due to the backlash from this force behind her.

After all, wealth is a powerful motivator, and it's hard for anyone not to be tempted by such a vast fortune.

However, since Ye Qingmei chose to ally with this force in the first place, it means that she had a certain degree of trust in that person.

But where does this trust come from?

Family? Friendship? Love?

Li Chengze raised an eyebrow, deciding to skip this question for now and continue thinking.

Since the other party chose to target Ye Qingmei, killing her would have been enough. Why go to such lengths to erase all traces of her existence?

Does this mean that Ye Qingmei is hiding other secrets?

In other words, did Ye Qingmei only bring about material changes to the world, such as glass, soap, perfume, and sugar?

After all, if the people behind her could tolerate her controlling so much wealth, why would they suddenly turn on her so ruthlessly?

Therefore, Ye Qingmei must have other secrets.

It was precisely because of this secret that the person who killed Ye Qingmei then erased all of her information.

As for who killed Ye Qingmei, it will be clear at a glance who inherited her wealth in the end.

After Ye Qingmei's death, all her money-making skills fell into the hands of the imperial court and became Emperor Qing's private property—the Imperial Treasury.

Li Chengze suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

Therefore, the person behind Ye Qingmei is Emperor Qing.

This would reasonably explain why Ye Qingmei's information was so thoroughly erased.

But what reason did Emperor Qing have to put Ye Qingmei to death?

Li Chengze couldn't help but sigh; he currently had far too little information.

It's just a name; the rest is speculation.

If any link in the reasoning is wrong, all the subsequent conclusions will be invalid.

However, deep down, Li Chengze had a vague premonition that there must be some intricate connection between Emperor Qing and Ye Qingmei.

Oh dear!

They finally encountered a time traveler, but he was very likely dead.

This huge psychological gap left Li Chengze feeling somewhat frustrated.

They had hoped to find more clues to return home through Ye Qingmei, but now it was all for naught.

Just then, the rays of the setting sun moved and shone down on him, warm and gentle, giving him a dazzling halo.

However, Li Chengze, feeling agitated, found the sunlight too bright and was too lazy to move, so he simply closed his eyes again.

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu had been silently observing Li Chengze for a while. Seeing his fluctuating emotions, sometimes excited, sometimes sighing, and now unusually irritable, they couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

The two thought back and realized that nothing seemed to have happened recently. Everything was calm on Emperor Qing's and the Crown Prince's side as well. They really couldn't understand why Li Chengze would act this way.

Could it be that the prince has some plan in mind, but is too embarrassed to speak up because of some difficulties?

Therefore, Xie Bi'an, who felt it necessary to share the burden of his prince, finally couldn't help but ask directly after Li Chengze sighed again: "Is there something troubling your prince?"

Xie Bi'an didn't beat around the bush; instead, he chose to ask directly.

Upon hearing his question, Fan Wujiu put down his book and turned his gaze to Li Chengze on the swing.
