The Ye Family's large and flourishing tree was about to fall. This was something everyone in the imperial court could feel, including the Prime Minister Ye himself.
Some of the officials who had been on his side were dismissed from their posts and investigated. For a moment, everyone felt threatened. Some of them were already standing on top of Xuanyuan Chen's boat like fence-sitters.
The officials who were standing in the hall presented their reports one by one, more and more discussions about Ye Wenfu, while Ye Wenfu coldly watched from the sidelines.
Previously, the Ye Clan's branches and leaves were flourishing, so it was easy to enjoy the shade. But now, when the tree falls, the monkeys would scatter. Indeed, this was the case.
Zhangsun Xiuming looked at himself with eyes filled with sympathy and pity. Ye Wenfu sneered in his heart, even if he dies, he didn't need the pity of others.
Emperor Xuanyuan had already started boldly supporting the eldest grandson's family, the branch family of the eldest grandson's family.
Meanwhile, the Zhang Sun family's business was also flourishing day by day.
On the other hand, in the Ye Family, there were often rowdy people coming to the Ye Family's store, either to destroy the store or to destroy the items.
From the imperial court to the shop, Ye Wenfu was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, but he could only forcefully swallow it down.
Ye Wenfu knew who was the mastermind behind all of this, but he was helpless. There were not many people under his command, if he sent more, it would be a loss to him, a loss to him, a loss to him, a loss to him.
Ye Jiaze looked at his father's body that was becoming thinner and thinner, and clenched his fists, unable to swallow his anger. Today, he had heard that Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong were going to eat at Gourmet, so he planned to barge in alone.
The door was pushed open heavily, and Ye Jiaze entered the private room. Standing in front of the dining table, he stared at Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong without saying a word.
Xuanyuan Chen had already guessed that Ye Jiaze would definitely come looking for him sooner or later.
Xie Qingrong had originally wanted to eat, but when she saw Ye Jiaze enter the private box, she turned his chopsticks and placed them on the table at night. She chuckled, seeming to be disdainful, but at the same time ridiculing him.
"Is it a noble deed for you to come here uninvited, Lord Ye?"
Ye Jiaze had always bragged about being a gentleman, but his actions today had greatly reduced his impression of a gentleman, but at the moment, he could not care less as he said coldly: "Prince Chen, Princess Consort Chen, those thugs came to ruin the situation, did you send people to do it?"
The Ye Family was already on the downhill path. Even if he were to kindly speak to Xuanyuan Chen, the two of them might not stop.
"So what if I am? "So what if it isn't?" Xuanyuan Chen waved the wine cup in her hand and said indifferently.
Just as Ye Jiaze was about to speak, he saw an ice-cold smile appear on her beautiful face.
"They were indeed sent by the I, but they didn't do it ruthlessly enough, they are just a bunch of useless trash." Xie Qingrong said coldly as she stared at Ye Jiaze with her deep and cold eyes.
Ye Jiaze clenched his hands tightly, anger surfaced in his eyes, "Princess Consort Chen, if you want to destroy the Ye Family, I have no objections, but for you to do such a small thing in secret, what kind of hero is that?"
Xie Qingrong squinted her eyes, she then raised her hand, releasing a few sharp rays, like the edge of a sword, her hand slammed onto the table.
"Ye Jiaze, what qualifications do you have to accuse the I of being sinister? Back then Ye Wenfu's daughter, Ye Ningyu, drugged the Duke, and wanted to use this to get into a relationship with the Prince. Why didn't you criticize yourself for your tricks at that time and use underhanded methods? "
"Moreover, at that time, you did everything possible to stop I. This grudge, I still hasn't been avenged yet and you're already anxiously asking for mercy, it's really interesting."
The things that Ye Jiaze had prepared, were immediately choked in his throat because of what Xie Qingrong had said. He was indeed in the wrong for what happened back then, but later on, their relationship with Ye Ningyu was not Xuanyuan Chen, but Xuanyuan Jing, so they did not suffer any losses.
Xie Qingrong seemed to have thought about what Ye Jiaze was thinking in her heart, and laughed coldly in disdain, "Ye Jiaze, do you think that the one who was related to Ye Ningyu in the end was the King Jing, and not the Prince Chen?
"Truly ridiculous, shameless to the extreme. Do you really think that the I doesn't know why Ye Ningyu would stake everything on this and drugged the Prince? Isn't it because I was bewitched by you? "
Xie Qingrong's tone became even more serious, and her ice-cold voice started to linger around Ye Jiaze's ears.
Ye Jiaze pursed his lips and said: "The reason I did that, was to fulfill little sister's wish. If there is anything that would let Princess Wang Fei down, Princess Wang Fei can come after me, and show mercy to the Ye Family."
Xie Qingrong said coldly, "Impossible. Ye Jiaze, do you remember what I said that day? "
Ye Jiaze remembered the Xie Qingrong from that day, it was as if she came from hell, her entire body was filled with killing intent, her eyes were pitch black and terrifying, she seemed to have said something back then, she could not remember it herself.
Xie Qingrong stared straight at Ye Jiaze with a venomous glare, repeating every word she had said that day: "If Xuanyuan Chen really did something that let me down, I swear, I will make you regret forever thinking up such an idea for Ye Ningyu."
Xuanyuan Chen thought about how Xie Qingrong was injured all over and was stopped by Ye Wenfu and Ye Jiaze when he was looking for him and he felt a sense of sorrow in his heart.
Her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, as killing intent seeped out of her narrowed eyes and enveloped Ye Jiaze's body layer after layer.
"Ye Jiaze, this king may as well tell you this. This king's second royal brother was saved by a group of black-clothed men in the Graveyard of Gods. This king's two royal sister-in-law s have fled the capital overnight and have not been seen since. "
"The King Jing Palace has completely collapsed. What's next is your Ye Family. Without King Jing and Imperial Consort Ye, how long can your Ye Family live? This king will wait and see."
Ye Jiaze knew that the Ye Family's anger was reaching its end, but he still didn't understand. Even if the Prince Chen won the battle between them, why must the Ye Family be exterminated?
He clenched his hands tightly, hesitating on whether or not he should ask, but in the end, this thought gained the upper hand, "I do not understand why the Prince Chen is targeting the Ye Family and the King Jing. I can see that what the Prince Chen really likes is the battlefield, not the imperial court. "
"Now that the King Jing and the Imperial Consort Ye have fallen, there are no other princes in the court who can contend against the king. Why can't the king let the Ye family go? Leaving the Ye Family with a chance to catch their breath? "
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Chen smiled, the disdain at the corner of his mouth was obvious, as if he had heard something funny, "Ye Jiaze, why would I give the Ye Family a chance to rest? What makes you think that I would let go of such a good opportunity to deal with the Ye Family? "
