The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The Kyoto government office, which was usually relatively peaceful, was now surrounded by crowds of people inside and outside.

A large number of ordinary people, some officials with backgrounds and their families, all poured into the yamen.

They knelt down in front of Lord Yi Zong of Jingzhao, crying out the crimes of the person they were accusing, and waving paper evidence in their hands.

Lord Zong was dumbfounded. It was the first time he saw so many people coming to complain, and the targets of the complaints were all people from the same family.

He investigated carefully and found that the person present was suing someone from the Ye family, namely a branch of the Ye family from a small county near the capital.

There are quite a lot of people with the surname Ye involved, among whom Mr. Ye, the seventh-rank county magistrate of the county, is the main target of complaints.

The most coincidental thing is that Lord Ye is the father-in-law of the current Left Prime Minister and the biological father of Yun Mansion’s mistress Ye.

Those who knelt on the ground had their reasons and evidence, and some of them had rushed to the capital from outside in order to appeal for justice in the most serious and high-ranking government office in the capital.

As the noisy citizens gathered at the gate of the yamen, groups of people came to join in the fun near the yamen, gossiping about things related to the Ye family.

A man said angrily with a joking expression: "Have you heard? So many people have reported the Ye family. Many of them are officials or businessmen, but what they do is not decent!"

"Alas! These bad guys, for the sake of money and power, even the most basic morals and consciences have been eaten by dogs!"

"Stop! Don't insult dogs! Dogs are loyal and honest, and they are good!"

One person exclaimed: "Have so many people been harmed by the Ye family?"

Another person stood on tiptoe to look at the situation inside the government office and replied, "That's right! I heard that the group of people kneeling inside are all victims of the crime. Behind each representative is a small group of people. What they hold in their hands are real evidences."

A woman said sourly: "Ye is the daughter of a seventh-rank county official, but she is so lucky to marry the prime minister of the dynasty. That's fine, but Ye and her mother's family are so conscienceless. They have done countless bad things and secretly gained a lot of benefits by using the name of the Yun Mansion!"

"It's not that I don't want to take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet!" A little girl pouted. She had long disliked Ye and Yun Shirou. "Bah! They usually pretend to be nice."

Before, this mother and daughter had a very good image to the outside world. However, when Yun Mujiu revealed the affairs of the Yun Mansion, she was shocked to realize how hypocritical this vicious mother and daughter were. It was a pity that she had praised them before.

There were also some scholars mixed in the crowd. Because they had read some books, their thinking and analytical abilities were somewhat different from those of ordinary people.

They began to wonder, how come the Ye family was caught with enough evidence and all the victims just happened to gather together to file a complaint?

Did the victim plan this for a long time and was only fully prepared to make his statement in court today?

Or was it that the Ye family's scandal was exposed because of the help of a noble person? And it was also because of the secret help of a noble person that all the victims had complete evidence of the bad guys' crimes?

Because there was a topic to discuss, and it involved matters related to a first-rank minister and prime minister, everyone chatted more enthusiastically, gossiping one after another.

...

Such a hot event happened in the capital, and even ordinary people were well-informed about the gossip, not to mention a considerable number of people in the palace.

They don't need to leave the palace, as someone will naturally report to them in a timely manner any major events happening in the outside world.

Therefore, some people in the palace quickly received this message.

Ye Chuhe's reaction was flat, not too surprised. Although he had no substantial evidence, he always felt that the strange woman was responsible for the trouble with the Ye family.

Since that woman started to make a high-profile appearance recently, the Yun Mansion has encountered one bad thing after another...

A few days ago, Yun Xiang and Ye Shi were just punished by the emperor. Now Ye Shi’s mother’s family is in trouble again, and Yun Xiang is also involved.

Ye Chuhe said to Concubine Yu: "Mother, we don't need to participate in this matter. We can just watch the fun from the sidelines."

Concubine Yu was quite surprised. She raised her willow-like eyebrows and said calmly, "Many officials in the capital have been reported anonymously. I didn't expect that a small county magistrate near the capital would also be reported, and it just happened to coincide with the turmoil in the court..."

She speculated: "Is it possible that someone wants to use the Ye family's maternal clan to cause trouble for Yun Xiang, take the opportunity to interfere with Yun Xiang, and suppress Yun Xiang?"

"It's possible," Ye Chuhe pretended to think, "but I think the person behind this doesn't just want to attack Yun Xiang, but mainly wants to attack Ye's mother's family."

In other words, the mastermind behind this was to attack Ye and the family behind her directly, rather than using the attack on Ye and others to finally deal a heavy blow to Yun Xiang.

Concubine Yu couldn't figure it out, "Who could it be?"

This time Ye Chuhe did not answer directly, but raised the corner of his lips slightly. "Mother is thinking about it carefully, and she will figure it out soon."

Concubine Yu laughed, "Chu He has already thought of it, right? He is still teasing mother..."

Ye Chuhe smiled but said nothing. He changed the subject and reminded, "Mother, please ask Grandfather to be careful and secretly attack the people in the Queen's faction. Otherwise, the Queen will think that we are easy to bully and attack us again..."

Ye Chuhe was reminding: Don't forget to put various pressures on the people in the Queen's faction.

Concubine Yu's smile froze immediately, "Mother knows, you can rest assured." The bitch Queen had played tricks on their Gao family and caused them to be punished by the Emperor, this anger must be returned to the Queen!

Concubine Yu looked at Ye Chuhe's legs and paused.

"Chu He, when do you plan to leave the palace? Mother wants to select a few secret guards with strong martial arts skills to protect you."

"Mother, you worry too much about me." Ye Chuhe was a little helpless. He had the idea of ​​leaving the palace a few days ago, but he had not chosen the right time to go out.

He said calmly: "When Princess Ye leaves the house, I will leave the palace."

At this time, Ye Chufeng also received the news of the Yamen incident. He picked up the wine pot, tilted his head back, put the spout of the pot to his mouth, and drank the wine straight away.

Cang Feng held the small wine glass in his hand, stunned, and murmured: "Your Highness, I brought the wine glass."

Ye Chufeng took a few gulps of wine, and then he stopped with satisfaction. He waved at Cang Feng, "Don't use that thing."

Cang Feng said silently: "Your Highness, what happened today? You don't usually drink so generously."

Ye Chufeng felt better and asked, "Do you know who pushed for the Ye family to be reported?"

Cang Feng thought hard, but before he could come up with an answer, he heard Ye Chufeng's impatient voice.

"It's her! I know she won't let these bad guys off."

Ye Chufeng added: "She will never tolerate any bad people and will never take revenge. This is very similar to me."

He was happy for Yun Mujiu.

Cang Feng's eyes lit up, knowing that Ye Chufeng was talking about Yun Mujiu, and praised: "Your Highness is thoughtful and your speculation is very reasonable."

"I feel like I understand her a little bit..." Ye Chufeng's lips curled up, "The Yun Mansion must be in a mess right now..."
