Chapter 658: Control the overall situation and bide one’s time
The minister's suggestion was not wrong. If the emperor's original plan succeeded, Yun Mujiu's reputation would be ruined, affecting the reputation of the Night King. Now would indeed be a good time to interfere with the Night King and his wife.
But the plan failed...
"Bang!" The emperor was so angry that he kicked the minister who had no sense of tact. "What reason do you have to complain about the King and his wife?"
The emperor was angry, and everyone in the palace dared not breathe a word. They all kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The minister who was kicked down kowtowed in panic. If he had known this earlier, he would not have asked. Alas!
The emperor shouted angrily and waved his hand: "Get out! All of you, get out!"
They all kowtowed and ran out with their backs bent. If the emperor got angry again, they might lose their heads.
The emperor thought of his former confidant, Yun Xiang, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. In the past, Yun Boliang was indeed a useful lackey, but now this waste Yun Boliang can't even beat Yun Mujiu. What's the point of keeping such a waste!
Yun Xiang failed in his work, and the emperor did not punish him further because he did not want people to think he was angry. If the emperor punished Yun Xiang again, wouldn't it prove that the emperor and Yun Xiang and others conspired to frame Princess Ye!
In order to avoid suspicion, the emperor could only put Yun Xiang aside for the time being. He knew that the Yun family's treasury was in deficit and the Yun family's family members were extremely injured. There was no good doctor to see them and no good medicine to treat them, so he decisively chose to stand by and watch.
Although Yun Xiang cannot be dealt with now, the emperor has other ways to torture Yun Xiang.
For example, the emperor no longer provided financial support to the Yun Mansion, nor did he allow the Ministry of Revenue to pay Prime Minister Yun's salary to the Yun Mansion. Instead, he withheld Prime Minister Yun's salary on the day the court paid the salary.
The Yun Mansion will have to go through a long period of time without any salary income. After all, Prime Minister Yun was fined ten years' salary by the Emperor!
In Fengyi Palace, the queen was lying on the couch leisurely. A little palace maid was fanning the queen gently, and another little palace maid was massaging the queen's shoulders gently.
The Queen's information network is also quite good, and she can find out the truth that the Emperor can find out.
But the queen was not as angry as the emperor. Anyway, nothing happened to the prince, so why should she care about what happened to his followers?
The queen looked relaxed, without any negativity or anger on her face.
In addition to finding out that so many young masters had gotten into trouble, the emperor and the empress also discovered signs of something happening.
That is, the prince instigated other followers to discredit Yun Mujiu, and those followers all got into trouble and were punished by the Night King. So why didn't the Night King take action against the prince?
Nanny Pei looked puzzled and couldn't help asking, "My Queen, there is one thing I don't quite understand."
"You said."
"Empress, why didn't the Night King punish the others who intended to harm the Night Princess, but didn't punish the Crown Prince? Could it be that the Night King has lost power recently and doesn't want to make a big fuss, and doesn't dare to punish the Crown Prince?"
The Queen also had the same doubt as Nanny Pei, but she figured it out earlier than Nanny Pei.
The Queen first said meaningfully: "Your refusal of the Night King's power is reasonable, but I always feel that the Night King will not be completely defeated so soon..."
"If the Night King really wants to take action against the Crown Prince, he has the power to do so." As long as the Night King is alive, there will be a group of people following the Night King and the Night King's Palace.
Nanny Pei understood a little and continued to ask, "Does your Majesty think that the Night King really took action against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
On the night when the prince was beaten to the point of death, the empress suspected that it was the Night King who did it. However, Nether Nine Levels later showed up and said that it was him who did it. Thus, Ye Xiaohan's suspicion was removed.
The Queen thought for a moment and said, "The Night King is protective of his own people, so it's not impossible that he would take action for the Night King's Concubine."
The Queen said deeply, "But the last time the Crown Prince got into trouble, Nether Nine announced that he was the one who did it, and the Crown Prince also said that the real culprit was Nether Nine."
"The Crown Prince and the Netherworld Nine Layers have the same story. If the Night King had attacked the Crown Prince, he would have definitely told the truth. Therefore, it is impossible that the Night King had harmed the Crown Prince."
"Perhaps the Night King thought about warning the prince, but the Nether Nine had already admonished the prince before him."
Nanny Pei understood, and she heard the queen say at the end: "In short, the Night King did not do anything bad to the prince."
The Queen was so confident, but she didn't know that the clues she and the Emperor had were specially released by Ye Xiaohan, and everything was in the control of the Night King.
Ye Xiaohan sent people to spread clues in a targeted manner in order to mislead everyone, including the emperor and empress - King Ye did not interfere in the affairs of the royal family.
This, on the one hand, is in line with Ye Xiaohan's current characteristics of keeping a low profile, so people will no longer pay so much attention to Ye Xiaohan and the Ye Palace. On the other hand, it also removes the suspicion of the Ye Palace harming the prince, and preserves the safety of the Ye Palace.
...
There was no news from the palace this afternoon. As Ye Xiaohan expected, the emperor, empress and others had successfully fallen into the misunderstanding he had created.
Ye Xiaohan's eyes were cold, and his handsome face was also cold.
Wei Bai and Wei Song were filled with joy as they had successfully completed the task assigned by the prince.
Wei Bai then asked, "Your Majesty, will the Emperor and the Empress investigate the truth behind the incident involving the Crown Prince and his lackeys?"
Ye Xiaohan said: "They won't investigate again."
Wei Bo asked: "Your Majesty, what else do we need to do next?"
Ye Xiao said coldly: "It's not enough to do it now."
Wei Song and Wei Bai became interested. The prince was so handsome and awesome! They bent down and said respectfully, "We will listen to your orders!"
Ye Xiaohan waved his hand, signaling Wei Song and Wei Bai to come to him.
Wei Song and Wei Bai rushed to the desk. Ye Xiaohan picked up the pen to write and threw the paper away.
Wei Song grabbed it and looked at the paper, his brows relaxed. Wei Bai came over to take a look and smiled wickedly, "Your Majesty, what a great idea!"
The prince's methods are really powerful. Now he will definitely make those bad guys obey him completely!
Ye Xiaohan said "hmm", and Wei Song and Wei Bai wanted to go down as ordered.
"Wait, Wei Bai, stay." Ye Xiaohan suddenly spoke.
Wei Bai was originally smiling, but when he saw Ye Xiaohan's cold eyes, he felt uneasy. Seeing this, Wei Song asked with a questioning look: Wei Bai, what trouble have you caused again? Brother, I will burn incense for you.
Wei Bai didn't dare to confront Wei Song in front of Ye Xiaohan, and quickly asked: "Your Highness, is there anything you want me to do for you?" Wei Song saw that Wei Bai was acting like a lackey, and he knew that Wei Bai was making trouble again. Then Wei Song left with a smile.
"What do you think?" Ye Xiaohan said lightly.
"My subordinate, I was wrong!" Wei Bo admitted his mistake directly, no matter what mistake he made! He had to get his attitude right first.
Ye Xiaohan glanced at Wei Bai sideways, but did not directly point out Wei Bai's mistake.
He thought about it and recalled the strange look on Yun Mujiu's face when he talked about his previous life this morning. His eyes suddenly became very deep and he suddenly changed the subject.
"Wei Bo, have you ever heard the words of the previous life?"
"Or in other words, which country or dynasty had the concept of 'reincarnation from a previous life'?"
