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

A maid rolled her eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction: "What's the big deal? Do you still think you are the powerful prime minister?"

"What did you say?!" Ye Baijiang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. His face was getting redder and redder, and it was obvious that he was on the verge of exploding.

The maid was not afraid of him. She stood up and sneered disdainfully: "Am I wrong? Do you still think you are the first-rank prime minister?

"You have been demoted and your property confiscated by the Emperor. How can a common person be more noble than servants like us?"

Another palace maid also followed up sarcastically: "That's right, a criminal minister and a deposed prime minister, what capital do you have to show off your power?"

A guilty minister? A deposed prime minister?

Ye Baijiang was so irritated by these two words that his eyes almost burst into tears and he almost vomited blood.

Oh my God, I used to be so powerful and in a high position, but now I have fallen to the point where I am laughed at in front of two slaves!

What's even sadder is that what they said was the truth, and although I was furious, I was powerless to refute them.

"Empress Dowager... I am your elder brother! Sooner or later, one day..."

"Come on~" Before he could finish his weak rebuttal, the palace maid interrupted him with an arrogant look on her face.

“If you still want to turn over, then I advise you to give up this ridiculous idea.

"We were working at Youlan Residence, and we heard the Emperor tell the Imperial Concubine with our own ears that he would never let you return to your post, and would never let you have a chance to rise again, so as to prevent you from causing trouble and upsetting the Imperial Concubine again."

Ye Baijiang was dumbfounded. These words hit him like a heavy blow on the head.

Shock, pain, despair, unwillingness and resentment swept through his body and mind like a raging flood.

"This...did the emperor say this himself?" His eyes were so red that they seemed like blood could drip out.

The maid glanced at him and said speechlessly, "What else? Why would we lie to you? Even though you are the Queen Mother's biological brother, no one actually looks down on you.

"Because the emperor is now strong, the queen mother can't control him at all. Just like what happened between the two of us today, if you have the guts, go tell the queen mother.

"We are the people around the Imperial Concubine. Let's see if the Queen Mother can do anything to us."

Ye Baijiang was exhausted and had no intention of arguing with them anymore. He turned around and left with a frivolous step until his back disappeared.

"Well done." A graceful voice sounded, and the two palace maids quickly turned around and knelt down towards the person who came, "Madam."

"Get up." Ye Qiandai raised her hand, took out the golden hairpin on her head and handed it to them, "I am very satisfied with what happened just now, this is a reward for you."

The two were overjoyed and took the hairpin and thanked him repeatedly.

"Remember, don't tell anyone what I told you to do. If the Queen Mother or Ye Yuqing causes you trouble, come to me. I have plenty of ways to deal with them." Ye Qiandai instructed again.

"Yes, yes, yes. We've made note of it." The two of them nodded rapidly.

In the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Ye Feiyan frowned and sighed, her face full of helplessness towards the angry man in front of her.

"Brother, I..."

"So, the Queen Mother is not going to take care of this matter?" Ye Baijiang interrupted her, heartbroken.

"I am an old man, and not only was I humiliated in public by that bitch Ye Qiandai, but even the lowest servant in the palace dared to mock me in person. And the Queen Mother said that you can't do anything about it?"

Queen Mother, I am giving you my last chance. If you cannot seize it, don’t blame me, your brother, for being heartless and ungrateful.

Ye Feiyan's face was filled with sorrow, and she sighed dejectedly, "Brother, you are my elder brother, and if they humiliate you, it is like humiliating me, how can I not be angry and hate them?

"It's just... you know what happened recently. The emperor has been bewitched by Ye Qiandai and has quarreled with me over her time and again.

"He even threatened that if I messed with Ye Qiandai again, he would put me under house arrest in the palace.

"Alas, I don't know why things turned out like this. The emperor really seems to have become a different person. He no longer has any mother-son affection for me.

"He is the emperor after all. He holds all the real power. With one order from him, I can't even see Ye Qiandai. Tell me... how can I vent my anger for you?"

Ye Baijiang closed his eyes in despair, "Does that mean the Queen Mother will just let me suffer this humiliation every day?"

"I...brother, if you are fine, just don't leave my Changshou Palace. People here respect you very much, and I can make the decision." Ye Feiyan comforted him with a worried look.

"You..." Ye Baijiang looked at her in disbelief, his heart sank.

"Queen Mother, you want me to be a coward? You want me to hide so that I won't be laughed at or humiliated by the servants?"

Ye Feiyan also felt cowardly, but she did not dare to force Lu Shian anymore. Facing his questioning, she had to lower her head and stop talking.

Ye Baijiang's hands and feet were cold. Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he asked again: "The Queen Mother promised me before that she would plead with the Emperor to let me return to my post. Is that true..."

Ye Feiyan was embarrassed and said without any confidence, "Brother, I will tell the emperor if I have the chance."

"Given your current irreconcilable attitude with the emperor, when will there be a chance? One year? Five years? Or ten years?" Ye Baijiang asked aggressively, almost collapsing.

Ye Feiyan was speechless after being blocked by him. After thinking for a moment, she whispered: "In fact, you are old, so why not retire from officialdom and spend your retirement with me in Changshou Palace.

"At least I can live a life of luxury and comfort, and spend my old age in peace."

Ye Baijiang clenched his fists tightly, he was in despair.

From beginning to end, from heart to body, I was like an ant facing a flood, no longer holding on to the slightest hope.

Queen Mother, I have already given you a chance. From now on, don't blame me for being heartless.

You were the ones who first sacrificed your own relatives for the sake of justice, so don't blame me for being heartless.

The next day, Youlan Residence became bustling before dawn. The servants were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, while the two owners stood by and watched them rummaging with anxious faces.

Ye Qiandai's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she kept urging them, "Hurry up and search carefully for me. The emperor's dragon-patterned jade pendant was given by the late emperor. It is a matter of great importance. You must find it for me even if you have to dig three feet underground."

"Yes, yes, yes." The servants nodded rapidly, each of them wanting to pop their eyes out to search for the jade pendant.

Ye Qiandai stroked Lu Shian's chest and comforted him warmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you will find it."

"Yeah." Lu Shian pursed his lips and pulled her to sit down with a serious expression.

It's really strange. The jade pendant my father left for me was still there when I undressed before going to bed last night, but it disappeared when I woke up this morning.

Who on earth could have stolen something from him?
