Seeing Dong Shu's expression, Old Madame Xu only felt it was funny.

Seeing that Xu Nuanwen was looking at her and smiled, she immediately smiled and said to Dong Shu: "Don't enter the palace for the next two days, wait till after Your Majesty has decided on this matter."

Old Madame Xu felt that the palace would not be peaceful in the near future, so she did not recommend Dong Shu to enter the palace.

Dong Shu was also not a person who did not know what was good for him.

"Then I'll stay at home for the next few days. I'll come visit the Empress in two days." As she spoke, Dong Shu recalled the three months which Xu Shiqiu and the Emperor Ruikang had agreed upon earlier.

"Mother, there's still a few more days until the three month deadline between His Majesty and his husband. At that time, if our husband is promoted, do we have any guests attending the banquet?" Saying that, Dong Shu thought for a moment before continuing: "Recently, my family has received many posts, just that Empress also said that I should not have anyone invite me, so I don't know what to do right now."

"When you receive the post, bring it to me. Although some people are still related to us, they haven't moved around in these years." Old Madame Xu knew that after her daughter-in-law was bestowed the title of village ruler, many people, who had almost stopped interacting with her Xu Family, had now sent her posts.

In these people's homes, if possible, Old Madame Xu naturally did not want to bother with them.

However, before they decided on their next course of action, they had to take a look. If these people didn't have a team at home, there was a reason why they were able to get away from them.

Even though they weren't that close, they still had to pay attention to their reputation.

This time, although Old Madame Xu didn't explain it too clearly, she had told Dong Shu everything before.

Dong Shu took Old Madame Xu's instructions and engraved them in her heart, preparing to follow her mother-in-law's instructions in the future.

At the same time, the palace was also bustling with noise and excitement.

Those who were well-informed knew that the matter regarding the Third Prince Residence was the doing of the Empress Hu.

What made people even more baffled was that even after such an incident had occurred, after a long time, the voice of the Emperor Ruikang could not be heard from within the palace, berating or punishing the Empress.

On the other hand, Third Prince had just been ruthlessly scolded by his eldest son, Ye Rong.

"Idiot, I wouldn't even tell on you!" Emperor Ruikang threw the envelope in his hand towards Ye Jingche. Seeing that he had lowered his head to pick up the envelope, he then continued to speak: "Take a careful look, what exactly did you send over to us?"

The Emperor Ruikang scolded Ye Jingche until he was a little dazed. He was actually quite familiar with the envelope in front of his eyes; it was precisely the one which he had thought of ways to send it to the palace after the Sixth Prince had sent it into his residence.

Ye Jingche did not understand why the Emperor Ruikang scolded him until he opened the letter and saw that the letter was as white as new.

"Royal Father, this …" Ye Jingche suddenly didn't know what to say. He clearly remembered that the letter Old Sixth wrote to him saying that it was the Empress's doing.

But now, why was it gone?

After being stunned for a moment, Ye Jingche finally regained his senses and looked at Emperor Ruikang: "Royal Father, this son really saw some words on this paper yesterday." Then, Ye Jingche shook his head as he saw Emperor Ruikang looking at him in disappointment. He suddenly continued with bloodshot eyes: "Royal Father, Ol'sixth schemed against me! When Ol'sixth delivered this letter to me yesterday, it did indeed have words on it. "

Emperor Ruikang's head hurt even more when he heard that there was actually the matter of the Sixth Prince.

"Enough, don't bring up this matter again. Regardless of whether you were tricked or not, you should stay in the mansion and meditate during this period. Teach your son. "

Emperor Ruikang sounded very tired, and didn't want to talk to Ye Jingche anymore.

However, Ye Jingche was unwilling to leave just like that. He had clearly seen the words on the letter yesterday, but he didn't see it today.

He wasn't willing to let Royal Father see him like this, so he didn't know what to think, nor did he greet Emperor Ruikang.

Seeing his actions, Emperor Ruikang was so angry that he covered his chest, not knowing what to say.

After Ye Jingche pulled the Sixth Prince, who was waiting outside, into the great hall, the Emperor Ruikang closed his eyes and revealed a look of reluctance to speak.

Ye Jingde was pulling Ye Jingde along leisurely. When he saw Emperor Ruikang, he could still calmly pay respects.

As for Ye Jingche, when he saw that Ye Jingde was not afraid at all, he immediately opened his mouth and said angrily: "Old Sixth, what is the meaning of believing this?"

"Third brother, what do you mean?" Ye Jingde looked at Ye Jingche with a face of puzzlement, seeing him bring the letter in front of him, he took it and looked at it, then continued: Third brother, why did you give me an empty piece of paper?

"What blank letter?" "Yesterday, you clearly wrote something on the letter, but today, the words on this letter are gone." After saying that, Ye Jingche saw that Ye Jingde still had a face full of puzzlement, he immediately grabbed's sleeves and said angrily: "Old Six, don't you admit that you sent a letter to my house yesterday?"

Hearing Ye Jingche's words, Ye Jingde had an expression of finally understanding as he sighed: "Third Brother, I indeed sent a letter to your house yesterday."

"Royal Father, listen up. Ol 'Six admits it!" The moment Ye Jingde's words fell, Ye Jingche could not wait to see Emperor Ruikang speak.

Emperor Ruikang only closed his eyes slightly. After hearing Ye Jingche's words, he merely gave a light "En".

Out of the corner of his eyes, Ye Jingde saw that the Emperor Ruikang was not even looking at him, and his hands hidden in his sleeves could not help but tightly clench.

At the same time, Ye Jingche also quickly spoke out the contents of the letter Ye Jingde wrote yesterday.

By the time Ye Jingche had finished speaking, Ye Jingde had already regained his senses. He looked at Ye Jingche with a shocked and sorrowful expression and said, "Third brother, the letter little brother wrote to you yesterday was obviously because he was worried about you. He told you not to get too angry …" Ye Jingde had not finished speaking, seeing how Ye Jingche was already looking at him with eyes, wanting to eat him, he immediately stopped.

Ye Jingde stared at Ye Jingche for a while, then sighed at Emperor Ruikang: "Royal Father, there is nothing much to say." After saying that, Ye Jingde saw the Emperor Ruikang nod his head, and then continued: "This son will take his leave."

When Emperor Ruikang nodded again, Ye Jingde left without even looking at Ye Jingche.

Ye Jingche did not expect Ye Jingde to actually dare to leave, but just as he was about to speak, he heard the Emperor Ruikang above suddenly open his mouth and interrupt: "Enough! Third, do you know what's going on with Sixth Brother? "

Hearing Emperor Ruikang's words, Ye Jingche suddenly asked hoarsely.

How could he forget that from the moment Ol 'Six was born and had this name, he was destined to not have any fate with the throne?

Since there was no such thing as fate, he probably wouldn't scheme against him.

But if it wasn't him, who could it be?

Seeing that Ye Jingche had stopped talking, the Emperor Ruikang waved his hand and said: "Go out of the palace, I am tired."

It was true that Ye Jingche had been scolded by the Emperor Ruikang, but he was not stupid. He knew that continuing to pester him would not change anything, so he could only leave in this manner in the end.

Only after Ye Jingche left did the Emperor Ruikang spread the word that the other sons who were waiting outside should leave.

Ye Jingxing had been standing outside the entire time, and no matter what happened, the expression on his face did not change much.

Hearing the words that came from the Emperor Ruikang, he did not ask any further, respectfully bowed, and then left.

When the Seventh Prince saw that Ye Jingxing was about to leave, his figure quickly flew past the Sixth Prince and followed closely behind Ye Jingxing. He said in a spoiled manner, "Fifth brother, do you want to pay respects to Concubine De? Saying that, Seventh Prince put his face close to Ye Jingxing's and laughed.

Ye Jingxing was the one who had been stuck in front of his mother's concubine since childhood, his seventh brother had no solution. Hearing his words, Ye Jingxing knew that he wouldn't be able to get rid of him today, so he could only nod his head and bring him to the Consort De Palace.

What the two brothers didn't know was that after they left, Ye Jingde stared at their backs for a long time.

Consort De was very happy to see Ye Jingxing and Seventh Prince. After asking them about the situation of the children in Ye Jingxing's residence, she pulled Seventh Prince along and began to talk.

After she had finished talking to Seventh Prince, she finally heard what Ye Jingxing had to say about the matters at Emperor Ruikang's place.

"I wonder if the letter that sixth brother wrote to third brother is true or not."

Just as Ye Jingxing finished speaking, the Consort De snorted coldly as if she did not care about her image, "This palace sees him as the schemer for Ye Jingche." After saying this, the Consort De frowned in displeasure and continued, "He's the same as his own mother, she knows how to scheme against people in secret."

When Ye Jingxing heard his mufei mention Ye Jingde's biological mother, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Speaking of which, Ye Jingde's own mother was also his own mother's younger cousin, but she had plotted against his own mother from the moment he entered the palace.

The most important thing was that after she gave birth to her baby, she bled profusely and asked for the name Ye Jingde for her son.

The word 'De' was clearly the title of her mother's consort!
