Chapter 677: Chapter 659: What a Great Move of Drawing a Stake from under the Cauldron!_1
"Yes, commander!"
The person obliged quickly and left.
As he watched his trusted subordinate leave, Ye Han turned his head and was surprised to see His Majesty silently appearing at the corner on the left!
Ye Han was startled!
He quickly knelt to pay his respects:" Your humble servant pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
Qin Feimo kept silent and walked slowly up to Ye Han, who knelt on one knee. He looked down at Ye Han from above.
"Are you having someone investigate me?"
Although his words were spoken in a normal tone, Ye Han could sense a hint of coldness in it.
He quickly bowed his head even lower.
Bowing once more, he said:" Your Majesty, as your humble servant, I am entrusted with your safety and the security of the Shangqing Palace. It is my duty, and I dare not to overstep my bounds. I have to unravel every doubt and prevent those traitors from causing harm to Your Majesty. So..."
At this point, Ye Han stopped talking and dared not look up, still bowing on the ground.
The glimmer of coldness in Qin Feimo’s eyes grew stronger!
"Well said! The traitors want to harm me!"
Qin Feimo laughed, then changing the subject:" By the way, if I remember correctly, Uncle Ye Wu should be thirty in virtual age this year, right?"
There was a faint surprise in Ye Han’s eyes, but he still responded.
"Your Majesty truly cares for your humble servant to remember my birthday, and my mother’s death anniversary. As Your Majesty mentioned, I am now thirty-one."
At twenty-eight now, his vigorous age was when his mother, the Empress, first entered the palace. Considering Ye Family and Hua Family were close, if the gossip he heard earlier was true...
At the thought of this possibility, Qin Feimo shivered, unable to suppress a chill!
"Uncle Ye Wu, you’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to find a well-educated and warm-hearted beauty, someone to look after your needs." Qin Feimo thought for a moment, then added: "The other day, the Empress Dowager spoke of this too. Her sentiments are also my own."
Ye Han could no longer suppress the shock in his heart, looked up at Qin Feimo foolishly, and then quickly bowed his head again.
In that moment, he formulated a counter-strategy.
"Your Majesty, current circumstances are unstable, and the world is in chaos. Not only is Young Mister Qin causing trouble in Shengjing, but the rebellion of various feudal lords who have declared themselves kings is not easily solved. This is hardly a good opportunity for your humble servant to get married."
Although his Majesty was still young, his attitude towards Ye Han was unusually strange, so Ye Han naturally avoided head-on confrontation and chose a roundabout approach.
"It is precisely because of the unstable situation that our dynasty urgently needs the joyous atmosphere of a wedding to dilute the bloody air, doesn’t it?"
Qin Feimo did not back down:" Even though Young Mister Qin has occupied Shengjing, he doesn’t have the Imperial Jade Seal, he is not a legitimate threat. Both sides are involved in a protracted war, while Uncle Ye Wu, has reached the age of maturity and can’t wait any longer. I have already made up my mind, I will order the Supervising Army to find a well-matched woman of the appropriate age to arrange a good marriage for Uncle Ye Wu."
Ye Han naturally disagreed and wanted to argue.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant..."
"Alright! This matter is decided! I think Uncle Ye Wu must be busy with official matters in the court, so I won’t keep you any longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Ye Han to say anything, Qin Feimo turned around and left quickly.
Ye Han slowly rose from the ground, staring in the direction where His Majesty had left, falling silent.
Whatever had happened to force His Majesty to disregard the Empress Dowager and himself, and just leave!
Little did they know, when His Majesty, then Eighth Prince, was in danger during an imperial visit, Ye Han risked his life to save him from the Gates of Hell. His Majesty was certainly not an ungrateful man. Currently, he was the Prince Regent, below only one and above everyone else, basking in glory and riches.
His Majesty had always greatly respected him, something apparent in his every word and deed. And Ye Han, in return, cherished him as if he were his own child.
Especially now, amidst the internal unrest in the Great Zhou Dynasty, with feudal lords declaring independence and the tumultuous situation, there should be no reason for him to deliberately discredit Ye Han like this. Yet, he had done so. What was going on?
The capable subordinate who was dispatched to investigate returned quickly. He leaned over to Ye Han and whispered into his ear.
"What?"
Ye Han was startled and nearly fell off his chair.
Such rumours were being spread, trying to put him and His Majesty in a situation where death was certain!
A perfect strategy to cut away the foundation of their support!
This completely unfounded rumour, with no origin and no evidence, would only cause more damage and confusion with each passing moment! Once the news that "Qin Feimo is not of the previous emperor’s blood" was spread, Ye Han’s life was not worth mentioning. His Majesty and the Empress Dowager might not be able to escape death either!
At this thought, he was immediately drenched in a cold sweat. Turning around, he quickly gave his orders!
"Quick! Arrest and kill those who are spreading rumours and causing confusion!"
The capable subordinate dared not lift his head:" The palace maid and the eunuch had their tongues cut off by His Majesty and were thrown into the Snake Cave as snake feed. As for those present at the time, two eunuchs and two palace maids committed suicide afterwards. However, we don’t know how, but the news leaked and is now being wildly spread within and outside the palace. It might be difficult to stop it now..."
It’s too late...
The capable subordinate didn’t finish his last few words.
Ye Han’s tall body suddenly swayed!
He gritted his teeth!
He roared furiously at the capable subordinate by his side!
"What are you waiting for? If that’s the case, go arrest people quickly. Anyone who dares to speak nonsense, grab them, throw them into the Imperial Prison and torture them severely. I want to see just who these demons are that are trying to cause chaos!"
The capable subordinate was taken aback, without any delay, he left quickly with the Imperial Special Guards to arrest people.
In a short while, the entire Jingzhao Prefecture was plunged into chaos!
The crying was earth-shaking, and the wailing filled the air!
Despite Ye Han’s thunderous rage, he was unable to prevent the spread of the news.
Soon, the news reached the ears of the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager - the former Imperial Consort Hua, was dumbfounded for a long time when she first heard the news. As she finally grasped the meaning, her face turned ashen, and she collapsed on the ground.
"It’s over, it’s over! This must be a conspiracy set up by those with ulterior motives. Their goal is to instigate a rift between the Emperor, Uncle Ye Wu, and me. With this situation, the disturbance in tomorrow’s morning court session is bound to be significant! What should we do now?"
The Empress Dowager was in a state of constant agitation.
