Emperor Ruikang's action was to pour another bucket of oil on the already lit bonfire.

Inside the Third Prince Palace, the Madame Zheng's eyes were completely red as she looked at Ye Jingche: "Are you still hesitating? For your sake, the last remnants of the Zheng Family's military might have been withdrawn. "In the future, the Zheng Family will be like a tiger without teeth or claws. Anyone can bully them.

Thinking that Ye Jingche making a move on Dong Shu would actually affect the Zheng Family, Madame Zheng's heart had always been bleeding.

She was a daughter of the Zheng Family. For the sake of her son and the Zheng Family, she had endured in the Third Prince Palace for so many years.

He hadn't thought that His Majesty would take the last bit of military power from the Zheng family at this critical moment.

After the Zheng Family lost their military power, they would gradually lose their status in the imperial court. Without status, what would happen to the descendants of the Zheng Family in the future?

What would she do if her son lost the support of outsiders?

Madame Zheng was infuriated inwardly, but her expression naturally revealed a little unhappiness. Adding to what she had said before, it caused Ye Jingche, who was seated at the head's side, to be even more unwell.

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm implicating the Zheng Family? "Since that's the case, you can go back to the Zheng Family while I'm still in Third Prince and haven't been taken out yet."

Just as Ye Jingche finished speaking, the originally angry mood of the Madame Zheng immediately stopped, and after that she instantly changed her mood. She looked at Ye Jingche and asked: "What? Are you unhappy about what I've said? Back then, I had warned you before that the imperial family's attitude towards Dong Shu was too weird, and it would be best if they didn't lay their hands on her. But did you hear that? " Finished speaking, Madame Zheng did not care about Ye Jingche's ugly expression and continued: "Why am I so angry, it's all for you, for our brother Rong'er."

Hearing Madame Zheng's words, Ye Jingche's originally ugly expression finally became slightly better.

Although Ye Jingche did not control himself with regards to women, he still valued his two grown sons. Of these, his first son was naturally more important.

Hearing Madame Zheng's words, she thought that if she was truly adopted out, then in the future, his eldest son might even inherit the throne, but what about the son born to another side concubine?

As for the daughters of the concubines, Ye Jingche didn't really care about them at all. However, he couldn't help but think that if he really could sit in that position, not only would his eldest son become the crown prince, he would also become the king's second son. As for the daughters of the concubines, they would naturally become princesses.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Jingche found it harder to calm down.

Seeing that Ye Jingche did not say a word, and was obviously thinking about something, Madame Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Madame Zheng understood in her heart that in this situation, she could only advise Ye Jingche to go all out.

How could a throne be worthy of her son? Her son was going to be the crown prince, and in the future, he would definitely ascend to that position.

Only then could she sit on the throne of the Empress Dowager and become the most respected woman in the world.

Other than the peace in Third Prince Palace, the Xu Family and Fifth Prince Palace were also not peaceful either.

In the Fifth Prince Palace, a family of five all sat down to eat together. The originally happy atmosphere, however, was due to this royal decree of the Emperor Ruikang, causing Ye Jingxing's face to turn ugly.

Ye Shuo looked at his elder brother at the side, and then looked at his parents who were at the opposite side. Only then did he muster up the courage to speak: "How about, I accept this bit of military authority?"

"Nonsense!" Just as Ye Shuo finished speaking, Ye Jingxing immediately opened his mouth and scolded him.

Hearing Ye Jingxing's reprimand, Ye Shuo was not afraid at all. He glanced at his big brother, whose expression had not changed at all, and said: "Even if I do not accept now, I will still have to take charge of some of the military power. With the emperor grandpa's personality, he would only be relieved if the Ye family had the military power. At most, he will just be cousin Yanhao. After all, he has half the bloodline of the Ye Family. "

Ye Jingxing's family all knew that Ye Shuo's words were true, but he couldn't surpass Xu Shiqiu and the other seniors and extended his hand towards the military.

After Ye Jingxing finished reprimanding Ye Shuo, he also realized that Ye Shuo's words just now were on purpose.

Even though he said those words on purpose, he couldn't help but admit that his subsequent analysis was correct.

Based on his Royal Father character, he really wanted to hand over all the authority of the troops to the Ye Family. However, he did not think so.

Whether it was a martial general or a civil servant, they all belonged to the capable, not to their bloodline.

But now, with his status, there was no way for him to say what he was thinking.

Seeing that Ye Jingxing did not say a word, Xu Nuanwen guessed what he was thinking about. After glaring at Ye Shuo, Xu Nuanwen then picked up a piece of bamboo stick and placed it onto the plate in front of Ye Jingxing.

"Don't think too much into it. Your current identity is only that of an ordinary prince. As for what will happen in the future, we'll think about it when our identities really change. "

Xu Nuanwen's words were straightforward, but Ye Jingxing listened to her words.

Now was the critical moment for him. At this moment, he really couldn't speak carelessly and do things.

But if he really didn't say anything and did nothing, wouldn't that be bad?

Ye Jingxing thought about this matter. Just as he was about to ask about his own good wife and help, he suddenly remembered that the three brats were still here.

He picked up his bamboo stick, and picked up the food Xu Nuanwen had just given him, then nodded: "My wife is right, I listen to everything my wife says." Saying that, Ye Jingxing seemed to have thought of something and started to eat seriously.

Ye Huan, Ye Shuo, and the three Ye Clan brothers were most likely the youngest among them, Ye Xuan, because of his poor health and the fact that he was the youngest son of his family. For reasons that his parents and brothers couldn't understand, his father was pretending.

However, they both knew that they had to give face to their father in front of their mother, so after the two brothers looked at each other, they seemed to have forgotten what just happened and started to concentrate on eating.

As Xu Nuanwen was the only woman in the family, she was very clear about the temper of the men in the family.

Seeing Ye Huan and Ye Shuo staring at each other, he guessed that they must be muttering to themselves about his father in their hearts. They would probably come together to talk after the meal.

However, she would not care about this matter, she reckoned that after finishing her meal, she would be dragged into the house by Ye Jingxing to talk, not to mention that her sons were on good terms with each other, which was what she wanted to see happen.

Xu Nuanwen had thoroughly understood the temperament of her family. After eating, Ye Xuan left by herself and went back to her own courtyard to read. Ye Huan and Ye Shuo then moved closer to her side and whispered to each other.

Ye Jingxing didn't think it was shameful for him to ask his wife about this matter on his own accord, because there were some things that even if he couldn't figure it out from his own perspective, his wife might be able to understand it.

After so many years, Xu Nuanwen had helped Ye Jingxing analyze the Emperor Ruikang more than once, and the facts proved that Xu Nuanwen's analysis was correct.

At this moment, Xu Nuanwen saw Ye Jingxing's expression and guessed what he was thinking. Without even needing Ye Jingxing to speak, she took the initiative to say, "Actually, Royal Father's thoughts are already very clear. There was only one throne, and he could only choose the most suitable son to inherit, but the other sons were his blood. Without the throne, he will try his best to give his other sons the best he can. "

The moment Xu Nuanwen opened her mouth, Ye Jingxing took the initiative to pour her a cup of warm water. After Xu Nuanwen finished drinking a mouthful of warm water, she continued, "I think the main reason why Royal Father chose you last would be because your relationship with his other sons seems to be pretty good. At least, you don't seem to be the one who would take the initiative to attack your brothers. "

As Xu Nuanwen spoke, Ye Jingxing kept nodding his head when he heard her words, thinking that she was right.

Of course, he could understand this himself.

"Now that Ye Jingche has done something wrong, the first thing he thought of isn't to punish his son, but to divide his son, who has angered you, so there is a need to do more. Only, the Royal Father should not have expected Ye Jingche to be so daring to actually attack his sister-in-law. " As he spoke till here, Xu Nuanwen clearly paused, then looked at Ye Jingxing and continued: "We are also not clear what exactly happened to sister-in-law's face. But from the attitude the Master Xuan Ling and the Royal Father had towards him, it was not hard to see that they still valued their sister-in-law very much. So now that the Royal Father has made a move against the Liu and Zheng Families, it is no more than cutting off all of the helpers around Ye Jingche, forcing him to calmly wait for adoption, in the future, he will become a idle king who only has riches in his wake. "

As Xu Nuanwen spoke, she nodded her head, and it wasn't until now that Xu Nuanwen realized what had happened. Ye Jingxing could understand all of these things.

She awkwardly stared at Ye Jingxing, and under Ye Jingxing's fawning smile, she continued to speak.
