The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Ye Qiandai shuddered and answered nervously, "I...I went to the toilet. Your Majesty, why are you awake? Did I wake you up?"

Lu Shian nodded, hugged her and stopped talking.

He was so nervous about her that he could immediately notice if she moved. How could he not know when she left?

Going to the toilet...how could it take nearly fifteen minutes?

It doesn't matter, no matter what, as long as she doesn't leave him, he will allow her to do anything.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'll be more careful next time." Ye Qiandai apologized to him sheepishly, and reached out to hug him back, gently stroking his chest with her jade hands, "Go to sleep, Your Majesty, it's already the second watch."

Lu Shian kissed her lightly on the lips, hugged her and asked softly: "You won't leave me, right?"

Ye Qiandai nestled tightly in his arms and replied with a smile: "No matter where you go, I will never leave you, and I will always be with you through thick and thin!"

No matter where you are, we will never leave each other, and we will be together through life and death...

Lu Shian's eyes were moist. What a beautiful oath, spoken from the mouth of his lover, worth all the flattery he had ever heard in his life.

That was enough. With her words, he wouldn't blame her even if she exposed the truth.

"Go to sleep, Your Majesty." Ye Qiandai yawned and murmured softly.

Ever since he hugged her and cried last time, he started to stay in her bedroom at night, sleeping in the same bed with her and in her arms.

But... he still didn't touch her and never let her sleep with him. She was a little confused.

Since Ye Qiandai entered the palace, Ye Baijiang's already frustrated life has become even worse.

The old man has been a powerful official for decades, but now he has fallen into a quagmire and is bullied by loaches all day long. Over time, he feels a little depressed.

Feeling really bored, Ye Baijiang picked up Ye Feiyan's pet bird and went to the Imperial Garden to walk the bird out of boredom.

When he reached the pond, he put down the bird cage and sat on the ground, looking at the fish swimming in the pond and continued to feel depressed.

"Fish should go to the sea, but they are confined to the pond; birds should fly in the sky, but they are imprisoned in cages. How sad and lamentable!"

A sympathetic male voice came from behind him, successfully attracting Ye Baijiang's attention.

He was a young man wearing a brocade dragon robe, a golden crown and a jade belt. One could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person.

"Who are you?" Ye Baijiang asked in confusion. He didn't remember there being such a person in the palace. Judging from his attire, he was obviously not a servant.

Ye Beimo walked up to him with a smile on his face and introduced himself in a friendly manner, "I am Ye Beimo, the Crown Prince of Zhujing Kingdom. Prime Minister Ye, I have heard a lot about you."

The prince of Zhujing Kingdom? Ye Baijiang frowned upon hearing this and snorted unhappily, "So he is the brother of our Imperial Concubine.

"Your sister is the Imperial Consort. How can the Crown Prince address me as 'Your Highness' in front of me? I cannot bear this."

Ye Beimo smiled, not caring about his ridicule, still with that good-natured expression, "This prince has heard that my little sister is a favorite at home, so she has developed a rude and unreasonable temper.

"It was her fault for offending Prime Minister Ye. I will teach her a lesson later and ask her not to embarrass the Prime Minister again. Please don't bother with her."

Seeing his humility and tact, Ye Baijiang didn't know what to say, but the anger in his heart was not so easy to dissipate. He snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Ye Beimo sat down next to him, picked up the bird cage beside him, and sighed: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a young eagle, right?

"What a pity! The goshawk used to fly freely in the sky that belonged to it, but now it is locked in a cage and people have to take it out for a walk from time to time. It's so pathetic!"

Ye Baijiang was not a fool, so he naturally heard the hidden meaning in his words. He said unhappily, "What does your Highness mean by this? Are you hinting at me being bullied by a dog when I am in a desperate situation?"

Ye Beimo laughed and did not deny it, "The Prime Minister is indeed in a desperate situation now, but this prince is not mocking the Prime Minister, but I am just feeling sorry for him."

Ye Baijiang angrily retorted: "What about ridicule? What about pity? I am in such a state because of my bad luck.

"But a moment is a moment. One day, the young eagle will return to the sky, the fish will return to the sea, and the dragon will eventually escape from this filthy quagmire!"

Ye Beimo just smiled without saying anything. He held the bird cage in his hand and looked at it for a long time before he said meaningfully, "Really? But I see that the bird cage is locked. Although someone feeds it well, that person doesn't have the key.

"And the person who holds the key seems to hate this young eagle and even wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. How could he let him go?"

Ye Baijiang was speechless, a feeling of annoyance running through his limbs and bones, making him feel so frustrated that he seemed like he was about to explode.

Yes, at the beginning he also thought that the empress dowager treated him well and the emperor was filial, and it would not take long for the empress dowager to persuade the emperor to let him return to his post.

But things don't seem as simple as he thought.

It was unknown when the emperor started to gradually break away from the empress dowager's control.

He was no longer as obedient to the Queen Mother as before, and the relationship between mother and son became increasingly strained. Eight out of ten times they met ended in quarrels, and their relationship was simply as hostile as fire and water.

No matter how high the empress dowager's status is, she is still just the empress dowager. The real power lies with the emperor. As long as the emperor does not speak up about anything, the empress dowager's power is not worth mentioning at all.

Not to mention anything else, her own brother was bullied by a concubine, and the empress dowager couldn't even do anything to help him.

She is always irritable and throwing tantrums, but she has no way to deal with the emperor and Ye Qiandai.

Looking at the state of the two mothers and sons, and the emperor's inexplicable disgust towards his family, how could he possibly get out of the current predicament? He really didn't see any hope.

Ye Beimo knew that what he said had touched his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and continued to speak cleverly: "Do you think this young eagle will stay in this cage for the rest of his life?

"Alas, he was second to none in the past, but now... it's such a pity!"

"No!" Ye Baijiang suddenly shouted, clenching his fists with a determined look on his face, "An eagle is an eagle, the overlord of the sky, how could it stay in a birdcage for its entire life?"

He was unwilling to give up! He couldn't wait any longer in the hopeless darkness.

He wants to do something, he's tired of being a local dog!

"But... the person who feeds him doesn't have the key, and the person who has the key is cruel and heartless, so the cage can't be opened!" Ye Beimo smiled as he watched the fish in front of him gradually take the bait.

Ye Baijiang was silent. He had fallen into such a situation and he really didn't know what to do to turn things around.

Seeing that the groundwork was almost done, Ye Beimo began to quietly get to the point and whispered in his ear: "Prime Minister, why don't I open the cage for this young eagle and let it return to the sky that belongs to him. What do you think?"

"You?" Ye Baijiang was shocked and asked in confusion, "Why would you help me? What's your purpose?"

“Because this prince values ​​talent, I heard of Prime Minister Ye’s name when I was in Zhujing Kingdom, and I know that you are a rare hero.

"This prince really can't bear to see such a talented person buried, so I want to help the Prime Minister who is in trouble. As for the purpose, Prime Minister, this prince wants to recruit the Prime Minister to work for me. What do you think?"
