Prime Minister's Office
"General Cheng?"
When Prime Minister Ye Zhiyuan saw Cheng ye who suddenly appeared in his room, a trace of surprise appeared on his face. In addition to surprise, he looked calm.
Cheng Ye was Qi xuyao's confidant. He had been demoted out of the capital because of the rebellion.
That's why Ye Zhiyuan was so surprised when he saw him!
Cheng Ye arched his hand at him, took out a letter in his arms and handed it to him, "Prime Minister Ye, I don't have much time, so I'll get straight to the point. This is the letter the crown prince asked me to bring to the prime minister. The purpose of my coming here is also explained in the letter. You can see it at a glance!"
The prince's highness mentioned in his mouth is naturally Qi xuyao.
Even though the crown prince has been abolished, in his eyes, Qi xuyao will always be the crown prince!
Ye Zhiyuan took the letter in his hand with a suspicious face and looked at it. After only a few lines, his expression gradually became dignified.
He raised his eyes, gave Cheng ye a deep look, then bowed his head and continued to look down.
"General Cheng, is the jade seal really in your hand?"
After reading the letter, he only asked one sentence.
Cheng Ye nods, "The jade seal is hidden in a place that only I know. Now the death of the empress is the poison of the saints. This matter will spread in Beijing soon. At that time, our people among the people will take the opportunity to fan it, and other courtiers who support your highness will contact them one by one. Prime minister, the saints are unkind, so we shouldn't stay on the throne at all I want to take this opportunity to force the palace directly.
We have arranged all the other things. What the prime minister needs to do is to find a way to contain Xiao lie, and it's best to take ye Xiyue out of the palace. At that time, the emperor will die of serious illness because of guilt and guilt, and his highness will rise to the top. At that time, his highness will never forget the credit of the prime minister! "
Hearing this, ye Zhiyuan frowned as if he were meditating.
He turned over his emotions and said after a long silence, "well, contain Xiao lie. I'll give it to me, and the rest will be helpful to the general. But I need to explain to the general that your highness must do it again without any risk. The last failure like that can't be done again!"
"The prime minister's worry will be understood at the end. The prime minister can rest assured that his highness will never fail again!"
Last time, Emperor Zichen was kind and didn't hurt his highness. But the rebellion like forcing the palace will happen again. If they fail again, all of them will die!
Ye Zhiyuan nodded, "Weichen naturally believes in your highness. This time, we must succeed in one fell swoop. If we don't succeed, we will become benevolent!"
Cheng Ye smiled at the speech. "This is nature!"
"Well, if the general says so, I'm relieved.
Ye Zhiyuan also had some contact with Cheng Ye. He knew that he was the confidant of the crown prince. In addition, this letter in his hand was also his Highness's handwritten letter. Naturally, he would not be suspicious!
The two talked about the matter in detail for another hour. When Cheng Ye left the prime minister's house, it was dark. Ye Zhiyuan intended to keep him, but was declined.
"Father, can you believe what Cheng ye said?"
Ye Wei came out from the inner room. He had just heard all the words said by Cheng ye and ye Zhiyuan clearly. He didn't expect that the waste prince was so bold and cruel. He even wanted to attack Zichen emperor and force the palace to rebel while the queen died!
"Of course I believe it."
Ye Zhiyuan sat down beside him, frowning and looking very dignified.
"The death of the queen is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the crown prince. It doesn't matter how small things are. Since the crown prince wants the throne, it should be so!"
When ye Wei heard this, he was full of sarcasm.
It's better to be cruel and ruthless and waste ethics!
No wonder Ye Zhiyuan will follow the waste prince. He is like a bird of a feather!
"Xiao Wei, haven't you just met Ye Xiyue recently? You must find a way to set her words and see how your Majesty's health is. If possible, you'd better find a way to take her out of the palace!"
When ye Wei heard Ye Xiyue's name, her eyes flashed cold, but then she returned to normal.
He looked at Ye Zhiyuan and nodded, "OK, I'll find the third prince tomorrow and follow him into the palace."
Ye Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction when he heard his words.
At this time, ye Wei bowed his head and smiled with self mockery. At least his previous efforts were not in vain. Now ye Zhiyuan really believes him and dares to tell him such an important thing.
Oh, it seems that ye Zhiyuan's death is not far away!
The next morning, a rumor began to spread among the people in Beijing. At first, it was only whispered in the teahouse. Slowly, more and more people said it, and it spread all at once.
"It's said that the empress was in good health before she suddenly fell ill. The imperial doctor prescribed the medicine and died. It's strange to think about it!"
"No wonder, isn't it that the emperor dotes on the concubine nachen alone? The queen is old and yellow..."
"I think it's because the abandoned prince was involved in the rebellion before. The empress is also a poor person. She died in vain!"
"Even if the former crown prince rebelled, didn't the queen always stand on your Majesty's side? It's really chilling for your majesty to do so!"
"Hey, people are unpredictable!"
Rumors spread everywhere and people were terrified. The ministers of the central court also heard folk rumors and gathered together in private to discuss. They had different ideas.
"Don't talk about your majesty. All these messages in Beijing must be blocked!"
Hearing this, Xiao lie's expression immediately became gloomy. Such rumors will not rise for no reason. Someone must have fanned the flames behind his back and deliberately let people spread them!
"Don't worry, general. I'll handle it!"
My men went to do it immediately. Emperor Zichen was not feeling well. Today, Xiao lie dealt with his business and went to Ziyang palace.
Ye Xiyue was called to Ziyang Palace by the little eunuch sent by Duke Wei early in the morning. Zichen emperor's health was suddenly bad and the situation was worrying.
He walked as fast as the wind.
At this time, in Ziyang palace, ye Xiyue just took out her acupuncture bag and was stopped by the imperial doctor.
"Mrs. Xiao, never!"
The old doctor with white beard stood directly in front of the bed and made it clear that ye Xiyue was not allowed to apply needles.
Ye Xiyue raised her eyes and glanced at him with a cold look, "doctor Xu, what do you mean?"
Early in the morning, a hundred thousand people called her to Ziyang palace in a hurry, but didn't let her give the emperor an injection. Why did you ask her to come here?
Doctor Xu, no matter what she thought, stood in front of her like a bull's temper.
"Madam Xiao, your majesty is too weak at this time to bear your injection!"
