The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

After a while, Ye Xiaohan summoned Wei Song and Wei Bai to discuss matters in the study.

It took several days since they last parted on the day they arrived in Beijing before they met again.

The only thing missing is Du Ziheng. Du Ziheng received a message yesterday saying that Du Digu, the pharmacy where he used to work, had an urgent matter and needed him to go back to handle it.

In addition, Du Ziheng had already taken care of Ye Xiaohan's body, but he was helpless about Ye Xiaohan's leg disease, so it should be okay for him to leave Ye Mansion temporarily.

So Du Ziheng left overnight last night and it would probably take some time for him to come back.

"Wei Song, how is the investigation going into the dark forces that attacked us on the day we arrived in Beijing?"

That night, Xiao Han led his troops only a few dozen kilometers away from the capital, but was suddenly ambushed by a united force. Later he found out that it was a dark force consisting of Zhongyue, Beihan, Xiyi, Nantai and the Dongyang Empire that was in collusion with each other.

Ye Xiaohan continued:

"Zhongyue, Beihan, Xiyi, Nantai, Dongyang Empire, all the countries are involved. The assassins sent by Zhongyue are a group of assassins trained privately by the emperor. I have sent people to strangle them in the past two days, and also destroyed their lair."

Wei Song said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, except for the assassins sent by the Emperor, the troops sent by the other four countries have already prepared a retreat route. After the sneak attack, they quickly withdrew to their own country. We can find a suitable opportunity to take revenge later."

Ye Xiaohan nodded slightly, his eyes cold and fierce.

It won't be long before he starts to implement his plan step by step and realize his ambitions of many years.

None of those who have dealt with him will ever escape!

"How is the progress of the dark forces sent by the Eastern Empire that I asked you to investigate?"

"We have found out that he is a prince from the Eastern Empire, but we don't know which prince he is yet."

When Wei Bo heard that it was the prince of the Dongyang Empire, he was surprised. "Prince? Wasn't it sent directly by the Dongyang Emperor Huangfu Pu?"

As the god of war of Zhongyue State, the prince's true strength and influence pose a subtle threat to the autocratic rule of the Oriental Empire.

The Dongyang Empire will never allow any of the three countries, Zhongyue, Beihan and Nantai, to become stronger. As the king of a country, Huangfu Pu will definitely regard the prince as a thorn in his side.

Ye Xiaohan was not surprised to hear Wei Song's answer, as if this answer had been expected.

His throat tightened slightly, "It's hard for Huangfu Pu to take action because he is particularly careful to maintain his image as a benevolent monarch."

"Even if they were playing dirty tricks on us, it's impossible for them to intervene directly."

"Wei Song, I will send you another secret guard team. Go and check in the direction of the First Prince Huangfu Gong and the Second Prince Huangfu Xu of the Dongyang Empire."

"Yes! I obey your command!" Wei Song answered loudly, his eyes full of respect and admiration for Ye Xiaohan.

Ye Xiaohan turned to look at Wei Bai, "Wei Bai, has there been any unusual movement in the capital recently?"

"Your Highness, last time we sent more people to guard the bodies of the assassins that we placed in the Dali Temple and the Privy Council, and now no one dares to destroy the bodies."

"The longer the body is left, the more anxious the emperor and his men will be. And I have already spread the news of the assassination in the capital according to your instructions, and stirred up some rumors."

"The people are talking about it. They are worried that such a dangerous thing happened in the palace of a prince under the feet of the emperor. They also feel unfair for you and want to thoroughly investigate the murderer and protect the war god of Zhongyue country."

Although the emperor secretly sent people to set fire to the bodies in the Dali Temple and the Privy Council morgue last time, fortunately, they were discovered by the people arranged in advance by Ye Xiaohan and the crisis was resolved in time.

The emperor also sent spies several times to try to find out the news about the Ye Mansion, but there was no way to find out any information.

Ye Xiaohan had already found out the traitor in the Ye Mansion and replaced and reinforced the defense of the Ye Mansion. Now, no matter what top killers and assassins they were, as long as they approached the Ye Palace, they would be immediately noticed by the Ye Palace guards.

Therefore, the emperor could not get any information from Ye Xiaohan.

When Yun Mujiu entered the palace to express his gratitude, the emperor did not detect any useful information. He only knew that the "idiot" Yun Mujiu had caused Ye Xiaohan a lot of trouble!

Ye Xiaohan ordered: "Continue to increase the pressure of public opinion, and at the same time let our people in the court intensify their condemnation of this matter, strive for an explanation, and force the emperor to respond as soon as possible."

Wei Bai replied calmly: "Yes! I obey your command!"

Ye Xiaohan had almost arranged everything, and then he remembered that the military power had been taken away by the emperor, and even the Jinxiang Guards that he had trained had been taken away by the emperor.

"Wei Bai, start allocating a sum of money from the palace warehouse to the Jinyu Guard, saying it is the pension and military pay for the victory over the Western Barbarians." When they first returned to the capital, before they had time to arrange for the money to be given to the Jinyu Guard, the emperor could not wait to send people to attack the Ye Mansion and tried his best to suppress his own men.

The Jinxiang Guard was a troop that he had spent a lot of time, effort and money to carefully forge. No matter who held the military power, the Jinxiang Guard would regard him as the only leader.

Given the emperor's penny-pinching nature, there is no way he would treat this army well.

Therefore, he had to allocate funds to the Jinxiang Guard and keep a close eye on the Jinyu Guard at all times so as not to disappoint these loyal soldiers.

After a period of time, he will definitely take back Xiangwei, return to the battlefield, and achieve his goals step by step.

Ye Xiaohan's face was calm, like a peaceful sea, hiding all the ups and downs of emotions underneath.

-

In the imperial palace, in the royal study.

Emperor Ye Haolian sat on the dragon couch with a furious look on his face.

The next second he picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground.

With a "crack", the fragments of the blue and white porcelain cup were scattered everywhere. The three people kneeling on the ground were all startled at the same time.

Kneeling on the far left was Zhao Guang, one of the captains of the emperor's dragon staff team. He curled up, not daring to look up and meet the emperor's gaze.

"Your Majesty, late last night, a group of men in black suddenly came to our group of death warriors' base and clashed with our troops. The enemy was below us, so we immediately gave chase."

Zhao Guang knocked his head hard several times, blood oozing from his forehead. "Unexpectedly, the enemy pretended to be defeated by us, and the soldiers we chased out were soon ambushed and no one survived."

He choked up and said, "Another group of enemy personnel also attacked the remaining death squads in the base. Our base was destroyed! The enemy attacked in the middle of the night and was very powerful. I was the only one who survived. They just kept me here to report the news."

The emperor did not say anything. He had carefully trained these assassins for many years and seldom sent them out on missions.

Recently, they were sent to work with other countries to assassinate Ye Xiaohan who had returned to Beijing. Although the assassination was not completely successful, Ye Xiaohan's legs were completely crippled, leaving him seriously injured.

I didn't expect that all my soldiers would be wiped out so suddenly!

The emperor felt like his chest was about to explode with anger, and shouted angrily, "Who is it?"

"Who is it?"

"Is it Ye Xiaohan?"
