Prime Minister Zuo was scolded by Ye Yutong in front of so many people today, and he looked a little embarrassed.
When he got on his carriage waiting at the palace gate, his face darkened.
When he returned to the house, he wrote a letter and gave it to his personal servant, saying in a low voice: "Send it to Chunxiang Hutong, and then ask the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple to come in the evening."
"Yes, sir."
But Prime Minister Zuo still doesn't know that his every move is being monitored.
Before the boy who delivered the letter returned to the house, Ye Mingxuan had already received the news.
He and Ye Mingzhe were helping his sister approve memorials in the palace.
Ye Yutong was sitting on the recliner eating fruit. Hearing Prime Minister Zuo's little move, he sneered. It seemed that the fox's tail was about to be exposed.
She thought for a while and said to her two brothers: "Brother, I don't know what's going on. I've been feeling restless during this time. Please tell Lin Jiang and Zhang Daqian to pay more attention to what's going on in the city."
Ye Mingxuan said: "Don't worry, sister, your second brother and I have already made arrangements. You can take good care of your baby in the palace, and there is no need to worry about things outside."
Ye Yutong smiled and nodded.
Looking at the two steady and handsome brothers, I suddenly remembered that the two brothers were not engaged yet.
I will discuss this with my mother later, as my brothers' marriage will be put on the agenda.
And Chaoyang will also start to help him keep an eye on suitable girls.
At this time, Linglan walked in quickly and whispered to Ye Yutong: "Mother, the guards around the emperor are back."
"What?" Ye Yutong stood up immediately, "Hurry up and tell him to come in."
Before the guards could salute after coming in, Ye Yutong quickly asked: "How is it going in the south? Did the emperor say when he will be back?"
"Your Majesty, we have captured the capital. The Emperor left the city with us, but his carriage is slower. It may take several days to arrive."
Ye Yutong frowned after hearing this. According to Ping An's character, how could he come back by carriage?
Thinking of this, her heart tightened and she asked: "What happened? Is the Emperor injured?"
The guards didn't dare to hide it, but seeing that the Queen was pregnant, they didn't dare to answer truthfully.
He handed the letter to Ye Yutong and said in a low-key manner: "Your Majesty, the Emperor only suffered a little skin injury, nothing serious."
Ye Yutong knew that he was not telling the truth, so he opened the letter and read it quickly.
Ye Mingzhe poured some tea for the guards and asked about the situation in the capital.
The guard told them in detail, "We came back quietly. Now everyone in the capital knows that the emperor was seriously injured, and even Doctor Lei can't do anything.
This news will be rushed back to the capital eight hundred miles away in the afternoon. The emperor was afraid that the empress would be worried, so he asked me to come back in advance to inform him.
These are all schemes devised by the emperor. The emperor wants to take advantage of this time to test and see who in the court is King Pingnan's person? "
Ye Yutong gave the letter to his two brothers, "Eldest brother, second brother, the whole city is under martial law. It is best to tighten it internally and loosen it externally. Once the eight hundred miles urgent letter arrives, spread the news."
To exaggerate Ping An's condition a little more, I want to see how many moles there are in the capital? It's best to catch them all this time. "
Ye Mingxuan nodded, "Okay, Brother Lin Jiang and I will make arrangements for your second brother to stay here to protect you, and Erqian and Dayuan will come over later."
Ye Yutong thought for a moment and then told him, "Brother, send someone to keep an eye on the princess's house. No matter what they do, don't stop them. I want to see if the two princesses are involved?"
"yes."
After sending Ye Mingxuan away, Ye Mingzhe said to the guard who came back to deliver the letter: "It's been a hard journey. Go wash up and have a good rest for two days after eating."
"Yes, sir."
Ye Yutong had just finished lunch when someone came to report that there was an urgent letter from 800 miles away.
When she read the contents of the letter, she fainted from fright.
If the maid hadn't been quick to catch her, she would have fallen to the ground.
Although the person didn't fall, the fetus was still loose.
Linglan quickly asked someone to go to the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor checked her pulse and prescribed anti-fetal medicine with a serious look on her face.
The emperor was seriously ill, and the empress had fetal contractions again. The news soon spread throughout the capital.
The two grounded princesses laughed happily after hearing this.
Princess Fanghua clapped her hands and gloated: "Okay, that's great. Even God can't stand their arrogance."
She flicked the whip in her hand and told her servants, "Get your horses ready. I want to go into the palace to see my great-nephew's wife."
At this time, the prince-in-law came over and said cautiously: "Princess, why don't you wait until you go out, and I'll go out to inquire first to see if this news is true?"
Princess Fanghua remembered Ye Yutong's insult to her and gritted her teeth and said:
"Why are you waiting? The little emperor is almost dead. I want to see if that bitch still dares to be arrogant?"
"Princess, don't forget, the Queen is pregnant with a dragon." The consort reminded her.
Princess Fanghua said arrogantly: "So what? It's not certain whether I can give birth to a baby. Even if I give birth, who can guarantee that it will be a boy?"
Besides, if the little emperor dies, do you think it will be the turn of that bitch’s child to become emperor? When the time comes, Li Yunhao and Ping Nanwang will definitely lead people to fight back. "
The consort knew what she said made sense, but he was always cautious, so he still advised her to wait.
"Princess, there is only news that the little emperor is critically ill, but there is no news that he is dead. Are we too impatient?"
"Since everything has been spread, death is definitely not far away." Princess Fanghua pushed him aside and said impatiently: "Don't stop me, I want to go into the palace to teach that vicious woman a lesson."
As soon as she reached the door, she met the pleasure princess who came to see her.
The aunt and nephew murmured for a while, then led the guards of the princess's palace to the palace in a menacing manner.
Now the emperor's life and death are uncertain, the empress has fetal contractions again, and the whole palace is in chaos.
The guard at the door had already received Ye Mingxuan's order, and he stopped them intentionally. After being whipped by Princess Fanghua, he let them in pretending to be afraid.
The two princesses shook their whips and entered the palace arrogantly.
All the ministers also came, but the Queen was unconscious and everyone was helpless here.
After waiting in the palace for more than half an hour, Ye Yutong showed no sign of waking up.
The people at Tai Hospital were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads. Although they didn't say anything, everyone knew from their faces that the situation was not optimistic.
Ye Mingzhe bowed his hands to everyone, "My lords, it's getting late. Why don't you go back first? If you have any questions, we'll talk to you tomorrow morning."
Zuo Cheng winked at the person next to him, and the Minister of Punishment nodded lightly, stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Master Ye, what is the situation in the south now? Your Majesty, is he okay..."
Ye Mingzhe looked a little panicked after hearing his question.
But he immediately shook his head, forced out a smile and said to everyone: "Ministers, don't worry, the emperor is fine."
The Minister of Punishment saw his expression, and when he heard that the emperor was fine, he pretended to be relieved and said, "That's good, that's good."
All the ministers saw Ye Mingzhe's expression just now, and their faces were a little heavy, but they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.
The courtiers walked out one after another, with Wu Zunxian walking at the end.
When he passed by Ye Mingzhe, he stopped and said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"I heard that Prime Minister Zuo used to have a good relationship with Prince Ping Nan, and the Minister of Punishment was very close to Prime Minister Zuo. Brother, at this critical juncture, you must be on guard against someone with serious intentions."
Ye Mingzhe nodded lightly and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother, for reminding me."
Wu Zunxian sighed, patted his shoulder, and walked out of the hall.
Although he is a realistic person, he is not a heartless person.
Since you and Ye Mingzhe are sworn brothers, you must tell him what you know. Besides, the emperor and queen treated him well.
Wu Zunxian had just walked to the door when Princess Hedonism and Princess Fanghua came in with riding whips.
