Chapter 77: The Deposed Crown Prince Exiled to the Frontier vs. the Protective General Jin (21)

After hearing this, Shi Yubai frowned slightly, turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "Is there any new news from the court recently?"

The last time there was news was when the emperor was seriously ill and the court was in chaos. Now that the imperial edict has been received, it means that the court has been cleared up.

The two were slightly stunned and looked at each other for a moment. They both saw something wrong in each other's eyes, as if they had not heard news from the court for a long time.

Moreover, Eunuch Mu just said that the imperial edict stated that Yun Xirou should remarry the Third Prince! ! What does this mean? It can only be said that the Second Prince was most likely defeated, and they don’t seem to have any news!

"I'll go take a look. Maybe this is an opportunity? Our chance to go to the capital. Aren't you going back? The opportunity is right in front of us!"

Yun Airou touched the whip at her waist, looking at the person coming downstairs with a bit of contempt in her eyes, and was about to go downstairs. But before she could do anything, she was stopped by Ye Lin.

"Let's go together. I want to see how capable my useless brothers are!!"

After saying that, Ye Lin stroked his sleeves lightly, closed the folding fan in his hand, put on a nonchalant look, and put it on her shoulder.

Eunuch Mu has come a long way just for him, so how can he not go and meet him?

"Your Highness, it is indeed time, but do you want to reveal your identity now!?"

Shi Yubai suddenly stood up and looked at the two figures with some worry in his eyes. He couldn't guess what he was thinking.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and before there could be a result, Yun Xirou's voice broke the silence.

"How ridiculous! This is the first time I've heard of His Majesty decreeing such a thing, allowing a married woman to remarry? Why not just forcibly rob a commoner girl?"

Eunuch Mu looked up, his face became increasingly gloomy, and he was so angry that the whisk in his hand shook. The two men in front of him were more outrageous than each other.

Yun Xirou hid under someone's umbrella. In his eyes, she looked carefree and unrestrained. She was very consistent with the image of women from the four cities. Her clothes were all half-riding clothes.

"I heard that someone wants to steal my wife? It's not appropriate to poach her right under my nose, right? Eunuch Mu, what do you think?"

Ye Lin held an umbrella in one hand and a fan in the other, and looked Eunuch Mu up and down, grinning at him and not taking him seriously at all.

Eunuch Mu's harsh voice sounded, and he asked angrily: "How dare you not kneel after seeing His Majesty's decree! This is His Majesty's order, you want to disobey it? This is a crime of disrespect!"

"Oh? Disrespectful?! You're talking about me? Eunuch Mu, you're talking about me?!"

Ye Lin walked up to the execution ground step by step. His aura was obviously ordinary, but it made everyone stop and look at him alone.

He was so presumptuous, but no one present tried to stop him. The four guards were either aware of the situation or there to watch the show.

I can only say that I hope the world will not be in chaos!!

"Do you know what the consequences of this are?" Eunuch Mu said gritting his teeth, with a threatening look in his eyes, as if warning Ye Lin not to act rashly.

However, Ye Lin was not frightened. This was not the first time he had seen such a scene, so he was naturally not afraid.

He smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corners of his mouth, and his eyes fell on his whisk, which was much older than it was back then.

In the void, he faced Eunuch Mu, stopped, looked up at him, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He replied coldly: "Consequences? Of course I know. But some things are more important than the so-called consequences."

There was a sense of determination and firmness in Ye Lin's voice. He used to think that Eunuch Mu was quite tall and he could only look up every time he saw him, but now it seems that he is not that tall.

Eunuch Mu was stunned. He didn't know how to deal with such a situation. He originally thought that as long as he read out the imperial edict, these unruly people would obey obediently, but now it seems that he underestimated this group of people.

"Everyone, you better get up quickly. It's raining now. It's not good to get wet!"

Ye Lin's voice was not loud, but it was not covered by the drizzle at all, and it fell clearly into the ears of everyone present.

At this moment, Yun Xirou stood beside him and really felt that he had the noble air of a child favored by heaven, as if he was born to stand high up and look down on all living beings.

"Pfft... You're right, my legs are almost numb, it's not good to be caught in the rain!!"

General Wu Qing didn't care about anything. She had a bad temper and had long been displeased with this man, so she just stood up.

If there is one, there will be two. If there are more people, there will be no need to be afraid. But in a moment, the heads on the execution ground were all black and moved.

"You...you dare to disobey the emperor's order, aren't you afraid of being beheaded?" Eunuch Mu's voice trembled, revealing a hint of fear.

Yun Xirou sneered and raised her hand to point. The people standing below were the people they swore to protect with their lives.

"Behead? Whose head do you want to behead? Don't forget, this is our territory. When the four cities were facing life and death, we managed to survive it by ourselves."

Where were the people from the imperial court at that time?! Even the food was not provided by the Ministry of Revenue. The internal strife in the imperial court gave them time to successfully build a defense line in the four cities, so that they no longer had to fear!

"The imperial court can no longer rule over us, don't you understand? Here, the emperor is far away and we have the final say, understand?"

There was a gleam of determination in her eyes, and there was no trace of fear in every word she spoke.

Eunuch Mu was shocked by General Wu Qing's momentum and was speechless for a moment.

Ye Lin took a step forward and approached Eunuch Mu, his eyes full of majesty: "Eunuch, you have come from afar and have worked hard. But I am sorry that I cannot accept this imperial decree."

He took the imperial edict sent by Eunuch Mu and threw it lightly, letting it fall to the ground.

"You..." Eunuch Mu was so angry that he was shaking all over and could only say one word while pointing at them.

Ye Lin turned to face the crowd, tapped his fingers on the umbrella handle, and said loudly: "Everyone, although we are in the four cities, our hearts are with the court. But I cannot accept the current situation."

Cheers broke out in the crowd, and everyone expressed their support for Ye Lin.

"Since His Majesty has ordered it, I will go with my wife. As for Eunuch Mu, please come with me. Everyone, it's raining heavily, it's time to go home."

After saying this, his eyes fell on Eunuch Mu, and the crowd's cheers subsided, and they dispersed when they saw the rain getting heavier.

"Eunuch Mu, the coldest place in the palace is the cold palace. Your whisk is bald, I wonder if it hurts when it hits you?!"

Ye Lin looked coldly at the whisk in his hand, and spoke in a low voice that only the three of them could hear.

Eunuch Mu's eyes widened, and his fingers trembled nervously as if he remembered something. Back then, he used this whisk to beat Ye Lin half to death in the cold palace.

Under Eunuch Mu's surprised eyes, Ye Lin showed a strange smile, then suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the whisk in Eunuch Mu's hand.

Eunuch Mu was startled and tried to take back the whisk, but Ye Lin's strength was far beyond his imagination, and he could not get the whisk back from Ye Lin.

"Eunuch Mu, do you know? I have been waiting for this moment for a long time..." Ye Lin's voice was full of teasing and ridicule, "Back then you used this whisk to beat me all over my body, let me try it today!"

After saying that, Ye Lin threw Eunuch Mu to the ground with all his strength. Eunuch Mu looked at Ye Lin in horror, his eyes full of disbelief.

"You...you are...you are Ye Lin. Ah...you, you lunatic! How dare you lay hands on this eunuch!"

Eunuch Mu roared angrily, covering his head and screaming. The rain wet his clothes and mud splashed on his face.

He was just helpless and furious, and he ran away in panic, rolling down the stairs and falling into the mud.

However, Ye Lin ignored his threat and raised his whisk again, lashing it hard at Eunuch Mu.

Each whipping was accompanied by a crisp sound, and Eunuch Mu's screams echoed throughout the execution ground.

"Shut up, this is not a place for you to act wild. As for Yicheng, don't even think about going back. I'll check it out for you. It's time for me to go home."

Ye Lin spoke every word clearly, not worrying at all that his voice would be heard by others. The raindrops falling on the ground covered his voice.

Those who want me to go back and those who don’t want me to go back, I’m going home.

Yun Yurou looked at Ye Lin, but she had no intention of stopping him. It was only natural to take revenge and to repay grievances! !

"He... this?! What the hell is this!? Who is he?!"

Jiang Liujun looked at the scene in disbelief, cast questioning looks at several people, and even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Uh……"

Looking at the Ji Yun and his family members present, General Wu Qing sneered, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, patted his brother on the shoulder, and said, "It seems that we are the only ones who don't know?!"

Just now, she thought she was the only one who didn't know, but she didn't expect that she had a brother who shared the same pain. Suddenly, she didn't seem so angry anymore.

"But it's pretty cool to watch this. This eunuch has bullied others a lot in the past. He deserves to be beaten!!"

General Wu Qing felt relieved when she saw him being beaten. This man was used to taking advantage of the power of others. If it weren't for the fact that the Ministry of Revenue in the imperial court controlled the food and grass of the Duanzhou garrison, she would have disrespected him long ago.

"He...he, he is the Ye Lin? The...the one who was abandoned?"

Ji Shuang glanced at him with a smile, holding up the umbrella and covering the corners of his mouth. He really looked like a silly teenager.

"No?! After all this time, we are the only ones who don't know. Then...then then then...we usually ignore him, so he won't be retaliated against, right?"

I don't know why, but Jiang Liujun couldn't speak clearly. His way of thinking was different from others. He was actually worried about being retaliated against.

"Fool, what are you afraid of if you offend him?! What's more, you are a family!!"

Ji Shuang rubbed her forehead helplessly, she really didn't know what Jiang Liujun was thinking. She couldn't help but sigh and silently turned the bracelet on her hand.

After Eunuch Mu was beaten, he was detained in Aozhou. Ye Lin had no intention of letting him live.

The next day, according to the news from the two sisters Lianyan, a big event had indeed happened in Yicheng. His Majesty has been in poor health since he was poisoned last time.

The third prince Ye Yi joined forces with court ministers to impeach Ye Chen. If it was just an ordinary impeachment, it would have been fine, but it had to be brought to the court.

It is said that a woman who was humiliated by the second prince Ye Chen went to the Yong'an Gate and beat gongs and drums to file a complaint directly to the emperor.

Not only that, this woman’s brother is Zhang Yuanrong, the newly-crowned top scholar in the imperial examination, and he can also be considered Yao Wenjin’s disciple.

After Zhang Yuanrong passed the imperial examination, he took his elderly mother and sister to Beijing. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a thing on the first day in Beijing.

What would happen if that happened? My mother fainted from anger that day, and my sister cried so much that she almost committed suicide.

As a scholar, Zhang Yuanrong originally had a very strong scholar's character and pride. He had just arrived in the capital, was unfamiliar with the place, and had no foundation at all.

When he learned that his sister had been insulted, his anger and grief were imaginable, and he chose to seek justice for his sister without hesitation.

The brother and sister had a big fight, which even aroused the resonance and indignation of other scholars and students.

They all stood up to support Zhang Yuanrong and voiced their solidarity for his righteous actions. The incident quickly spread and became a hot topic.

Empress Feng was a smart woman. She spread rumors to make amends for her son, saying that she had always intended to make Miss Zhang a concubine, and she hosted a banquet for Miss Zhang and asked her to agree.

It must be said that this does seem to be beneficial to Miss Zhang, as it would allow her to become the prince's concubine, and the girl originally wanted to agree.

But her brother Zhang Yuanrong disagreed. After all, Ye Chen had always been surrounded by many flowers, and every flower stuck to him. He said something to his sister.

"Wouldn't that encourage his style?! We can't let him off so easily just because he's a prince! What's more, he doesn't really care about you. Once you enter the mansion and get wronged, it won't be so easy for your brother to help you."

Because of this, Empress Feng's plan ultimately came to nothing. Miss Zhang refused to agree and kept shouting and making a scene all day long: "A noble descendant of the Emperor bullies the sister of a minister in broad daylight. I think there must be more than one person who has been bullied by him!? Where is justice?!"

Miss Zhang declared that she did not want power or status, but only justice, and a stable life with no worries about food and clothing.

The matter was at a stalemate for a while. It would be easy to agree to her request for food and clothing, but the difficulty was that the law could not stop people from talking nonsense.

Ye Yiyou took the opportunity to add insult to injury, exposing his secret hoarding of minerals and listing several wrong things he had done.

After a few rounds of fighting, His Majesty was so angry that he vomited blood and fell in the court.

Prime Minister Han submitted a memorial to the emperor, requesting that a crown prince be appointed as soon as possible. The emperor was already exhausted and after much deliberation, he finally agreed to his memorial.

In this way, Ye Yi became the new crown prince. Although Empress Feng was not deposed, she no longer had the power to rule the six palaces, and Concubine Chen became the only one in power.

At this time, good news came from the four cities again, and they seemed to have just remembered that the four cities were still in battle.

At this time, someone else suggested that the four cities were too powerful and must be checked and balanced.

After half a month of discussion, they came up with this shady trick. It's really speechless.

Yao Wenjin strongly opposed it in the court, and tried to dissuade him by saying that Yun Xirou was already a married woman, but in the end he was no match for the majority.
