Chapter 924: Taking Advantage

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

During this period of time, the Second Prince had been working with the court officials to deal with government affairs and had received the praise of many ministers. Even the Fourth Prince, who had a low status, had begun to participate in the court and befriend the ministers.

Meanwhile, they had the advantage from the beginning, but they had repeatedly suffered under that little b*tch, Yu Youyao. Even their original advantage had been weakened.

After thinking about it, Imperial Concubine Xu felt that she couldn’t continue to sit still and wait for death, so she quickly drove to the Jingren Palace where the Third Prince, Yin Huairui, lived.

Ever since the Flower Festival in Duke Rong’s Residence, the emperor had ordered to seal the palace gate of the Jingren Palace and lock the Third Prince in the palace, not allowing him to take half a step out. After that, the Third Prince had been living in seclusion in the palace.

Now that the emperor was busy refining pills and did not leave the palace, Concubine Xu and the Xu Residence had already given bribes. The ban on the Jingren Palace only existed in name.

However!

As soon as Imperial Concubine Xu stepped into the main hall of the Jingren Palace, the sound of laughter, fighting, and cursing could be heard.

The Third Prince was only wearing a white undershirt. The belt was loosely tied around his waist, revealing a large part of his chest. He looked unrestrained. The palace maids were only wearing a tube top and chiffon. Their clothes were not covering their bodies, and they were playing hide-and-seek with the Third Prince.

After taking the Hanshi powder, the Third Prince’s body felt hot. He grabbed a palace maid like a hungry tiger pouncing on a wolf and couldn’t wait to hug her…

When the other palace maids saw that someone had received a blessing, they also gathered around…

The unbearable scene made Imperial Concubine Xu furious. She raised her voice and said, “Someone, drag these b*tches out and beat them to death…”

When the palace maids heard Imperial Concubine Xu’s voice, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground with a thud. Their bodies also trembled, and they quickly cried for mercy.

The eunuchs rushed into the house and dragged the palace maids away one by one.

The Third Prince quickly pulled up his pants.

Seeing that he had made a fool of himself, Imperial Concubine Xu looked as if she expected better from him. Her gaze swept across the eunuchs kneeling on the ground and she said angrily, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and wash the Third Prince…

Only then did the eunuchs panic and crawl up to help the Third Prince change…

Imperial Concubine Xu was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

After Rui’er was imprisoned, his days in the palace were boring. For some reason, he imitated his father and secretly refined medicinal pills in his palace.

Even she did not know that Jingren Palace had been sealed.

When she found out, Rui’er had been addicted to the Hanshi powder for a long time. She had thought of countless ways, but he couldn’t stop taking the powder. What was even more ridiculous was that not only would the Hanshi powder change people’s temperament, but they would also become even more ridiculous among women. He had even visited any palace maid in the palace who was slightly beautiful. He had even caused the ridiculous matter of more than ten women serving him at night.

She had no choice but to use the matter of the emperor sealing off the Jingren Palace to cover it up. It was not appropriate for the others in the palace to spy on the Jingren Palace, so this matter had never been made public.

The Third Prince followed the emperor’s decree and never left the palace. He stayed in the palace to reflect on his mistakes and accumulated some good reputation for him in the court.

However, compared to the Second and Fourth Princes, who were both outstanding in the court, he was still inferior.

Imperial Concubine Xu was indignant. The Second and Fourth Princes had gained power in the court, and now that the Han Clan was being suppressed by the royal family, it was not appropriate for Rui’er to continue “restricted” in the palace.

After the court session ended, Elder Ye and Elder Yu left the palace together.

Elder Ye sighed. “The Ye family of Linjiang has lasted until now and has also experienced a rise and fall. We can’t put all the eggs in one basket. More descendants of the Ye family will be sent to work elsewhere. If they can make some political achievements locally and be transferred back to the capital, that will be because of their own ability.”

Elder Yu put his hands in his sleeves and said calmly, “That’s good!”

However, he did not say why.

The Ye family, which had always been neutral, suddenly cooperated with King Yue Fei. On the surface, all of this was the result of the changes in the situation after the Imperial Court issued the national policy.

However, only Madam Ye knew how many political games were involved.

Elder Ye turned to look at Elder Yu. “The Ye Clan of Linjiang can be considered a pawn of the Yu Clan in this matter. Don’t you have anything to say?”

At this point, Princess Shaoyi had gained both fame and fortune and had obtained all the benefits.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoci was busy “overthrowing the Han family”. The entire Ye family of Linjiang was implicated and was forced to change from a neutral faction to a radical faction, becoming the main force to deal with the Han family of Xi’an.

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the Han family of Xi’an was a deep-rooted noble family in the North. If someone wanted to “overthrow the Han family”, they first had to obtain the support of the Imperial Court.

King Yue Fei cleverly used Princess Shaoyi’s identity to obtain the support of the royal faction.

Princess Shao Yi also beat him at his own game. She used King Yue Fei’s reputation to strengthen the reputation of the royal faction. The cooperation of the two of them would benefit the Imperial Court and the country. It was a

win-win situation.

One declined while the other flourished!

While King Yue Fei gained power, the nobles on the other side couldn’t sit still anymore. For a moment, they used all their tricks, but how could they win? Princess Shaoyi and King Yue Fei had joined forces to set up a trap.

The state government office was sandwiched in between. Now that King Yue Fei was powerful and the balance was broken, it was time for the Ye family to make a choice that was beneficial to them.

From the perspective of the overall situation, the Ye family had no choice.

Elder Yu glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “Don’t talk nonsense with me. We’ve been officials in the court for decades, so it’s not to the extent that we can’t see the situation clearly. Look at the entire court. There are demons dancing wildly. In the future, the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty will still depend on King Yue Fei! The Ye Clan is just taking advantage of the situation!”

He who understood the times was a wise man. The current situation was no longer the same as before. The Weining Marquis Residence was like the sun in the sky. The Ye family had no choice but to watch coldly as the nobles fought with the vassal lords, not daring to get involved.

Elder Ye shut his mouth.

It was precisely because the nobles of the North had seen through this that they took advantage of the Empress Dowager’s serious illness to jump up and down happily so that they could make plans for themselves in advance.

After all, they were old enemies who had fought for many years. Old Yu did not give up any chance to retort. “Both our families are families that have been passing down their inheritance from the previous dynasty. Don’t we know each other?”

At this point, he glanced sideways at Elder Ye.

“Can the Ye family really watch helplessly as the nobles brush off the national policy and cause trouble for the more than a million refugees in the camp? No matter if it’s an epidemic or a riot, how many people will die or be implicated? Do you feel guilty, let alone Ye Xiaoci? As the governor of Youzhou, he’s a parent official. How can he ignore the lives of the commoners?!”

At the end of the day, it was still the actions of the nobles who had violated the bottom line of the Ye family. If the Ye family still had a trace of benevolence, they couldn’t just watch the tragedy happen.

Elder Ye took a deep breath. “You’re right. This drought has been going on for almost three years. The Great Zhou Dynasty has suffered a calamity, and the grassland has suffered even more. The Di people aren’t good at farming, and they’re even more lacking in supplies. Ever since the end of autumn last year, the large and small battles at the border haven’t stopped. Chang Ningbo is guarding the army, and the Great General of the Cavalry is in charge of the war. While King Yue Fei coordinates the situation, he has to personally manage the relevant matters of national policy..”
