The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The next morning's court was more lively than ever. The emperor frowned and glared coldly at the noisy officials below.

The person involved, Yun Xiang, happened to be away. He had been caned twice and had to take leave and stay in bed to recuperate during these days.

Yesterday, many people in the Beijing government reported the case and jointly sued the Ye family, and the evidence they presented was solid. The Ye family's corruption, bribery, rape, oppression of innocent people, defrauding people of money and other evil deeds were exposed one by one.

It just so happened that the previous Jingzhao Yin had just stepped down, and the new Jingzhao Yin was named Zong Quan, who was quite upright. In addition, the new official had three fires when he took office, and the Ye family was sued for making a big fuss, so Lord Zong was even more concerned about the case.

The ministers and soldiers in the court were divided into three factions. One faction was neutral and advocated punishment according to the law.

Officials led by Emperor Yun took the initiative to make big things out of small things and avoid making small things disappear.

Yesterday they learned about the Ye family case, and Yun Xiang sent someone to ask them for help. Therefore, today they secretly excused the Ye family in their words, and claimed that the evidence might not be complete. So many officials have been reported recently, maybe someone deliberately targeted the Ye family and wanted to frame the Ye family.

The last group is the serious and radical group. They said that they would not only punish the relevant personnel, but also punish them severely, and restore a gentle, clean and harmonious public opinion atmosphere in Beijing. Among this group of people, a considerable number of them are followers of Ye Xiaohan. They have received Ye Xiaohan's instructions and are very concerned about punishing the Ye family case.

They were so excited that they shouted, "Your Majesty, this matter has caused a great disturbance. We must handle it impartially and punish the perpetrators severely!"

"Your Majesty, we cannot spare any sinner! The people are watching..."

In addition, a small part of the radical faction is from the Right Prime Minister faction. They have long disliked Prime Minister Yun. Now that they have a good opportunity to severely step on Prime Minister Yun, how could they miss it?

They all solemnly advised: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. The defendant has some relationship with Prime Minister Yun. As Prime Minister of a country, both he and his relatives should set a good example in terms of moral character!"

The right prime minister looked solemn, "Your Majesty, we must not let everyone down! The Ye family incident has also affected the reputation of our officials, we must not easily condone them!"

The emperor thought of the recent incidents at the Yun Mansion, and his eyes became more gloomy. The Ye family was just a small family, and they had established a relationship with the Yun Mansion through the Ye family, but now they are so ignorant of restraint and have caused so many scandals!

As for who pushed the Ye family's affairs to be exposed, Prime Minister Yun could guess that it was Yun Mujiu, and the Emperor would naturally guess that it was Yun Mujiu.

The emperor frowned, thinking. Eunuch Li came over hurriedly and whispered to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Lord Zong sent someone to report that many new evidences were found at the gate of the government office early this morning, and they all pointed to the Ye family."

The emperor paused and waved his hand to signal Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li flicked his whisk and shouted in a shrill voice: "Everyone, please be quiet!"

The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked up at the emperor sitting on the high throne, not daring to say a word.

The hall was unprecedentedly quiet, as if even the sound of a needle dropping to the ground could be heard.

The emperor fixed his eyes and swept them down.

Many officials standing in the center of the hall couldn't help but tremble. The emperor was ruthless, and they couldn't figure out what the emperor meant at this time. Thinking carefully, the emperor didn't say anything at the right time, but let them make a lot of noise. Could it be that the emperor was holding back some big move and was about to show his anger to them?

The emperor ignored everyone's expressions and snorted. He stood up straight, shook his sleeves, and made a decision immediately.

"My mind is made up! I hereby order..."

In the Yun Residence, Yun Xiang was lying on the bed, looking extremely anxious. There was an empty bed next to him, and Ye Shi was also lying on it, her lips trembling from the pain of her injuries.

Yun Xiang said to Ye Shi impatiently, "I sent people to seek help from other colleagues and subordinates yesterday. They will also speak for the Yun Mansion and the Ye Family in the court."

Ye said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Master! Without you, I and my family would have no idea what would have happened to us!"

Yun Xiang looked sullen and asked, "How is the matter going with the one I asked you to contact your parents?"

"Yesterday, I sent someone to tell them to refuse to confess their guilt and to not involve the Yun Mansion. Otherwise, if the Yun Mansion cannot protect itself, no one will help them."

Yun Xiang's expression looked better and he turned around to meet Yun Shirou's worried gaze.

Yun Shirou hurriedly said, "Father, will the emperor help us?"

A complex look flashed across Yun Xiang's eyes, "Yes."

The emperor's attitude towards the Yun family was not very clear at the moment. If he took the initiative to ask the emperor for help, even if the emperor was dissatisfied with him, he would still help the Yun family and the Ye family out of past friendship.

In addition, if he was unable to move around and had secret news to inform the emperor, he would choose to send a letter by carrier pigeon.

He sent a pigeon message to the emperor yesterday, once during the day and once at night. The emperor would definitely help him after receiving the message. If he did not take the initiative to ask the emperor for help, the emperor might assume that he was capable of solving the problem on his own and then wait and see.

More importantly, based on the current relationship between the Yun Mansion and the Emperor, the Emperor would most likely not help the Yun Mansion. So he had to take the initiative to plead with the Emperor.

Yun Shirou nodded, feeling somewhat relieved. "Father, the government generally doesn't issue results quickly when handling major cases. Judging from the current situation, we still have time to maneuver and save the situation."

"Yeah." Yun Xiang gritted his teeth, "What a pity. Last night I sent assassins to kill those who reported to the police, but I didn't expect that they were well prepared and had secret guards with powerful martial arts around them."

Yun Shirou sighed silently, "It doesn't matter. Grandfather and his men are refusing to plead guilty, and with the measures taken by my father, even if those people continue to sue the Ye family in the short term, Jingzhao Yin will not sentence them all at once."

Yun Xiang's analysis was the same, but for some reason his right eyelid kept twitching and his heart rate was unstable. He always felt that something bad was going to happen. The long-lost feeling of uneasiness enveloped his heart, making him almost breathless.

What other tricks do Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan have up their sleeves?

Yun Xiang calmed his mind and said to Yun Shirou, "Shirou, you went to the Ye Mansion yesterday to ask for an audience but was rejected. Now go to the Ye Mansion again. Today is the seventh day of the Ye Mansion's closure. The Ye Mansion may be unsealed today. Even if the Ye Mansion is unsealed tomorrow, today is the day when it will be unsealed. If you insist on asking for an audience with Yun Mujiu, she should come out."

Yun Shirou recalled the scene of being ruthlessly rejected by Ye Mansion's personal guards yesterday. A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

"Don't worry, father. Your daughter will be there soon."

At the Ye Mansion, Yun Mujiu smiled and praised, "Ying Liu, you did a good job! I didn't expect that besides Ying Yi, Ying Yi, and Ying San, you can also shoot pigeons so accurately."

Ying Yi, who was standing in the dark, frowned. Last time, they had to follow the prince's orders to shoot birds with slingshots so that the princess could have a good rest. But Ying Liu shot birds this time in order to intercept the news from Yun Mansion. There was a difference between the two things.

Yingliu bent down, feeling a little embarrassed to hear Yun Mujiu's straightforward praise.

Butler Zeng came in a hurry and said, "Princess, Miss Yun is standing at the gate of Ye Mansion, clamoring to see you."

Yun Mujiu's face suddenly turned cold...
