Ye Shengxin, wearing a brand new official uniform, walked to the palace road to attend court. He looked back for the thirteenth time, but still did not see a single official attending court.

She covered her face and asked the system in a panic:

[I didn't meet any colleagues when I went to court today. System, do you think I will not go to court today?]

The system also feels a little strange, but——

[If I don't go to court, there must be a eunuch at the palace gate to notify me. Since there is no one there and it is not a day off, I must go to court. 】

Ye Shengxin felt a little flustered after hearing what the system said.

【Am I late? 】

System: [Perhaps you are too early. ]

Ye Shengxin was a little delayed in getting up this morning because of the injury on her face. She didn't quite believe what the system said, and she felt that she was late.

This realization took root in his head, and the more Ye Shengxin thought about it, the more panicked he became. He no longer bothered to cover his face and started running wildly on the palace road.

I ran all the way to the Golden Palace, and when I entered, I saw that there was no one inside.

Ye Xingxin glared, [No, are you really not going to court today? ]

[Some officials get a day off after they get promoted. Am I the only one who doesn’t know about this custom?]

Ye Shengxin felt heartbroken when he thought about how he had lost a lazy sleep because of the lack of information.

[System, I am at a disadvantage, I...]

"Master Ye." A voice came from behind.

Ye Shengxin looked back and saw that it was Pingqing Hou Rongping and his daughter Rong Anle.

"Lord Rong, you will be attending court today..." Seeing that there were ministers attending court, Ye Shengxin's heart was already tense again before he could even let it go.

She looked at the two men in their casual clothes and was unsure: "Aren't you going to court today without wearing your official uniform?"

Rong Ping paused, and looked at Rong Anle, both of them with conflicted expressions.

After turning to meet Ye Xingxin's clear, puzzled gaze, Rong Anle thought of her great kindness to them, and his eyes were firm:

"Don't worry, Lord Ye. No matter what happens today, I will do my best to protect you."

"what?"

Rong Ping also said: "Lord Ye made an unintentional mistake, I don't blame you."

"Ah?" the third time.

Ye Shengxin’s doubts did not last long.

When she stood in her position, she was dumbfounded to see ministers coming in one after another from outside the Golden Palace, and none of them were wearing official uniforms.

Ye Xingxin looked down at the crimson official uniform on his body.

[What do you mean, these people exclude me? Or isolate me? ]

She made a bitter face, [System, I am the only one wearing official uniform in court today, isn't that inappropriate? ]

The ministers glanced at Ye Shengxin calmly, then looked at their own casual clothes that they had to wear because their official uniforms were suddenly missing, and their faces darkened.

I've screwed them over so badly this time, and they still have the nerve to feel wronged.

Bah! I have never seen anyone so shameless.

Ye Xingxin's frustration was too obvious. The system really didn't know why the ministers were like this. After thinking for a while, it said;

[Host, you are not sociable in your clothes, but you are sociable in your wounds. ]

[Look carefully, are all the ministers who came to court today injured to some extent? ]

The ministers' faces tightened, and after looking at each other, they covered their bruised and swollen faces with their sleeves.

Thinking of the tragic experience of the past seven days, some generals could not help but move their feet to come over.

Rong Ping and Rong Anle were quick to act. When they came in front of them, they whispered, "General, calm down. General, calm down."

The civil officials were blocked by Prime Minister Shangguan and several others. Most of them could not save face for the civil officials and snorted coldly, choosing not to look at Ye Shengxin, this troublesome person.

Ye Shengxin was unaware of the undercurrents in the system. She listened to the system and looked carefully. To be honest, she actually saw a lot of things.

[System, I noticed that the one with the most serious facial injuries seems to be the most conservative and pedantic old man. Could it be that they were beaten by their father at home like me?]

The most pedantic ministers: "..."

They rolled their eyes and at the same time told themselves in their hearts to be patient and to endure it.

[Look, the prince also has a wound on his face. Did the emperor beat him last night as well? ]

The prince who was mentioned coughed lightly and turned his body to prevent Ye Shengxin from looking at his face.

[Hey, I remember that General Meng Dameng seems to have no parents at home, so who beat him so hard? ]

[Amazing, really amazing. ]

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shengxin was startled when he suddenly met Meng Da's angry eyes.

[No, why is General Meng looking at me like that? I didn't cause the injury on his face, it's really unreasonable.]

Meng Da: “.”

He clenched his fists and was about to say something, but Rong Ping blocked the eye contact between them, and Ye Shengxin then changed his target.

[System, I noticed that except for Lieutenant General Rong Anle, everyone else was injured to varying degrees. Was yesterday a special day?]

[Why do all the ministers get hurt after going home? ]

[Hahaha, I was worried about the wound on my face before I came here, but now that so many people are with me, I am no longer the most conspicuous one.]

[Who is helping me like this? What a kind person. 】

Ye Shengxin was gloating, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a deep resentment in the palace.

Those gazes, visible or invisible, were like slaughtering knives, all floating towards her.

Ye Shengxin felt very proud.

She asked cautiously: [System, why do I feel like everyone wants to hit me? ]

[Am I feeling wrong? ]

All the ministers clenched their fists: You are right.

Rong Anle glanced at Ye Shengxin and found that Lord Ye’s thoughts were quite accurate.

Xu Changyu quietly moved away from Ye Shengxin and felt a little angry.

System: [No, everyone may have been beaten and is in a bad mood, don't think too much about it.]

[Besides, you stayed at home yesterday. How could the beating of the ministers have anything to do with you?]

Ye Xingxin nodded, agreeing: [That’s true. ]

[Then why did they get injured? Why didn't they wear their official uniforms to attend court? ]

Before, he was just playing around with the system, but now Ye Shengxin is serious.

Even the emperor couldn't let all his ministers get beaten overnight.

The system didn't know the answer either. It was a little curious about one thing: [Host, do you think the emperor would also be bruised and battered when he went to court today? ]

[Or, the emperor doesn't have a dragon robe to wear today? ]

Emperor Jingming, who was wearing a dragon robe, said: "..."
