The more he looked at Dongfang Ye, the more his eyebrows furrowed, and his expression became more and more unfathomable.

"What's wrong? Is the account book useless? " Xia Sizhu couldn't help but ask when he saw Dongfang Ye's frown increase.

"It's useful, but the content on it makes me feel cold." Dongfang Ye gently kissed Xia Sizhu's forehead as he spoke.

"It records that for so many years, Xia Wei had colluded with his wife's family and disguised himself as a bandit to kill and rob. Hawaii used the money to recruit soldiers and horses to increase their strength."

As Dongfang Ye's magnetic voice narrated the events of the day, Xia Sizhu could hear the thick anger in his voice.

"Xia Wei is actually so crazy, using someone else's blood and money to strengthen his own power!"

Hearing this, Xia Sizhu's heart was naturally filled with anger. Killing for one's own benefit was the most detestable, the most ruthless, and the most cruel.

"Xia Wei's motive for robbing money to raise his private soldiers is probably impure. I can't allow him to continue like this. Just based on the fact that he made a move on my woman, he should be hacked into pieces.

How could I let him go? Ah Zhu, sleep on your own later, I want you to bring this account book to royal father in the middle of the night. Bring troops to capture him, he might run away after this. "

They had rescued Aunt Liu, and Xia Wei definitely knew that the account book would fall into their hands.

With this account book, they would be able to deal with him and the land of death. Whether they wanted to rebel or not, they would certainly choose to rebel. There was still a chance for them to do so, so they had to move quickly.

"Go!" Xia Sizhu also knew the seriousness of the situation, so she naturally didn't say anything.

"Be good and wait for me to get revenge for you." Dongfang Ye's tone was very light, but it caused Xia Sizhu to fall into chaos for no reason. Her earlobes were tinged with a faint red color.

Seeing Xia Sizhu's reaction, the smile on Dongfang Ye's face became even more brilliant before he disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

"When does Ye'er need to perform all night?" In the palace, the emperor had long since gone to bed. His eyes were still sleepy, and his voice carried a sense of weariness.

"Father, please look at this." Dongfang Ye held the account book with both hands and the eunuch came down to hand it to the emperor.

"Ye'er, I'll give you a hand. Go capture Xia Wei, we'll have him be executed as soon as possible!"

When the Emperor read the contents of the accounts book, Long Yan's expression turned cold.

"Yes, royal father." Dongfang Ye led his men and rushed to the Prime Minister's Estate.

When Dongfang Ye arrived at the Prime Minister's Estate, other than the servants who didn't know what had happened, Xia Wei had already brought his people and evidence and disappeared.

"Let's go!" Dongfang Ye's eyes flashed. He rode his horse to the palace to report back.

After Dongfang Ye left, Xia Wei walked out from the shadows not too far away. Xia Wei looked in the direction Dongfang Ye left and revealed a smile.

"Is everyone ready?" Xia Wei's voice was filled with excitement.

"I'm ready." The man in black beside Xia Wei said respectfully.

"Haha, good. Let's go meet them." Xia Wei's eyes were filled with madness. Success or failure depended on this one move.

The atmosphere in the court was frighteningly cold. When the ministers saw the angry emperor sitting on the throne, they all lowered their heads without saying a word.

"Read this to our ministers!" The emperor handed the account book in his hand to a nearby eunuch, his face dark.

"Chirp!" The eunuch took the imperial edict from the emperor. He tried his best to make the sharp voice sonorous and forceful, but it was as if the tiger had become a tiger instead of a dog.

Not a single one of the ministers laughed, and every single word the eunuchs read caused the heads of the crowd to drop lower.

When the eunuch finished reading, the hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.

"What is it? You're not even talking? " The emperor swept his gaze over the crowd, his expression cold and indifferent.

"You bunch of trash, Xia Wei was killing and robbing under your noses, recruiting for troops and horses, yet none of you noticed, allowing him to expand freely. If you can't even do this, what's the use of us raising you?"

The Emperor's angry words were like a blade that hung over everyone's head. Everyone fell to their knees with a 'pa' sound. "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

"Calm down? "You must have a way to pacify me." So many people, and yet there wasn't a single useful person. This infuriated him.

"Li'er, as the crown prince, don't be so idle all day. You have to learn from Ye'er, it was him who presented this secret. Do you understand?"

"The Emperor looked at the kneeling Dongfang Li and said.

"Your son will listen to your teachings!" Dongfang Li lowered her head. She looked respectful, but her eyes were cold.

He has done so much for the South Tomb because if he did not discover this matter, he would erase his contribution.

Dongfang Li's heart had already started to alarm him. He had to regain the attention of her royal father as soon as possible.

"Did you catch Ye Xiao and Xia Wei?" The Emperor restrained his anger and asked.

"Reporting to royal father, when this son went there, Xia Wei had already left with his men. Other than some servants who didn't know the truth, I didn't find any other evidence."

Dongfang Ye calmly said.

"I'll hand over the matter of capturing Xia Wei to you, arrest him and bring him back to justice ten days from now."

The Emperor's eyes revealed a sinister light. Before Xia Wei removed the stone from his heart, he could not let it go.

"Yes." Dongfang Ye replied, but he was still thinking about how it was that he hadn't gotten up yet. He wanted to go back and accompany Zhu …

Just as Dongfang Ye finished his words, the sound of fighting came from outside.

"What's going on?" The emperor's expression instantly changed as he heard the sound of battle.

The ministers looked at each other, baffled.

"The Prime Minister is leading a large group of people to attack the Imperial Palace. This subordinate can't hold on much longer!"

At this time, a guard dressed in ordinary clothes ran in from the entrance. He was covered in blood as he spoke anxiously.

"Send the imperial guards to assist us immediately." The Emperor ordered calmly.

Not all the people guarding the palace were there. There were also some people waiting inside the palace, all to numb the enemy so that they would think that the palace's forces were only so, never to the point of being able to catch them off guard.

"Yes sir!" Those who ran over went back to inform the Janissaries.

"Ministers, would you all be willing to go with me to see this Prime Minister who wants to take his place?"

Anger flashed in the Emperor's eyes. It was obvious that Xia Wei's actions had provoked the Emperor.

"We are willing." Even if the various ministers were unwilling, they could not say they were unwilling. They could only brace themselves and speak.

How could the outside be as safe as the main hall?

The emperor stood up and walked towards the entrance of the grand hall. The officials followed him out. Naturally, Dongfang Ye and the other three sons of the emperor couldn't fall behind as well.

"Xia Wei, how dare you! How dare you rebel!" The Emperor brought everyone to the entrance of the palace. The Emperor didn't even look at the battle between the two parties and immediately found a place to sit for Xia Wei.

"This is not rebellion, but making a good future for myself."

At this moment, Xia Wei no longer had the caution of an official. His eyes were cold and dark, filled with viciousness.

As the Prime Minister, your power is already not small. In addition to that, your two daughters are the Crown Prince's main concubine and may even become the Empress of the Western Tomb in the future.
