Chapter 624 The storm is rising
At the main courtyard, we learned that Ming Cejun was not seriously ill and that the fall and bleeding were just a minor ailment.
Di Ran just told people not to come to the main courtyard to disturb Wang Jun unless necessary, and sent the person away without mentioning that Wang Jun had pushed him.
Mingxuan was relieved to learn that the prince did not pursue the matter. However, he felt jealous when he saw the prince defending that bitch.
……
……
The court is about to change
Ever since the Demon Noble entered the palace, he not only charmed the empress into favoring him all day long, but also left all the other royal servants aside.
The empress also wanted to build the Changle Palace for her, and even confers the title of Phoenix Lord to Yao Guijun, and even brought him with her to court in recent days.
What will happen if this continues?
The court officials were fed up and felt that the evil noble king was trying to disrupt the government and deceive the emperor!
They jointly petitioned the empress to execute the evil concubine in order to restore order in the court!
And what about the empress?
Naturally, the emperor was furious and lost his temper.
She felt that these old guys had nothing to do and were deliberately going against her.
She was just doting on a noble lord, but these people were complaining that this and that were inappropriate.
Who has the final say in this country? !
These old guys are meddling too much!
The empress was unhappy, and when she was unhappy she wanted to kill people.
The empress has been in a very bad temper recently, moody and easily irritated.
Yao Guijun is the apple of the empress's eye. Which minister dares to talk about him behind his back? Once Yao Guijun cries, won't the empress vent her anger for her apple of her eye?
The evil noble prince dominated the harem, and the empress became more and more foolish and violent. The ministers were miserable and tried their best to persuade her.
Empress: You all want to murder me! I won't listen!
The ministers had no choice but to go to the Queen Mother.
Although the Queen Mother is not your Majesty's biological father, she is your Majesty's adoptive father. Your Majesty is very filial to the Queen Mother. I think your Majesty will listen to what the Queen Mother says.
"Queen Mother, you have to make the decision for me! Her Majesty..."
After hearing what the minister said, Queen Mother Feng was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up.
"Snapped!--"
"How can this be possible! Your Majesty is truly confused!"
The Queen Mother immediately decided to persuade the Empress, but she didn't expect that this trip not only failed to persuade her, but also caused a quarrel. The Queen Mother hated the evil noble monarch for causing a rift between her and her daughter, and planned to secretly punish the foxy woman.
Yao Guijun was naturally not someone who would swallow his anger. Whenever he suffered any injustice, he would try every means, openly or covertly, to let Ji Yao know.
This led to Ji Yao becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the Queen Mother.
In the confrontation between the Queen Mother and Yao Guijun, it was obvious that Yao Guijun was the winner, and the palace maids in the harem became even more wary and jealous of him.
……
Today, the Imperial Study
The empress listened to Zhao Ting's report and was very angry when she learned that Jiangzhou's group did not kill Di Ran.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Ting's heart trembled, and he knelt down immediately.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I failed in my duties."
Ji Yao's face was gloomy, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was cold: "Get up, King Beichen is not an ordinary person. If he can be easily eliminated, I will not be so afraid."
Zhao Ting stood up cautiously.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the people I sent, there are two other groups of assassins. Those assassins are not only targeting King Beichen, but also King Rui and the Fourth Princess."
"The third and fourth?"
"How does this have anything to do with the two of them?"
Ji Yao narrowed his eyes, his face darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Can you find out the origins of those two groups of assassins?"
"Your Majesty, those assassins were well-trained and acted cleanly and efficiently. It seems that they were organized and premeditated. I am incompetent and have not been able to find out the assassins' origins."
Ji Yao's face looked a little ugly, because of Zhao Ting's failure in doing things well and also because of that daring assassin.
"Lingrong, how is the investigation of the Ye family's matter that I asked you to investigate going?"
An Lingrong, who was standing respectfully at the side and being asked the question, was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Your Majesty, I have found a clue..."
"When the entire Ye family was executed, the fourth son of the Ye family, Ye Jingxiu, was not at the Ye family..."
Ji Yao frowned: "Ye Jingxiu?"
