As the emperor listened to the music, he heard Concubine Yu say, "Your Majesty, you've seen it all. For so many years, Prime Minister Yakeshi has been taking advantage of his favor and becoming arrogant. These days, he's even more lawless. Look, he's now targeting my brother and doesn't even take Your Majesty seriously."

After hearing what Concubine Yu said, the emperor gradually came to believe what she said and began to get angry. He said to Concubine Yu, "This Yin Yichen, for so many years, has wasted my trust in him. He really disappoints me."

"That's right, Your Majesty. You must teach him a lesson. You absolutely cannot let him continue to be so arrogant and domineering." Concubine Yu continued to speak to the emperor, playing the zither in her hand. "Your Majesty, what are you going to do now? I'm afraid you already have a plan in mind, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor looked at Concubine Yu in confusion and asked, "Concubine, what do you think I should do to curb his arrogance?"

Seeing that the emperor had taken the bait, Concubine Yu immediately said to him, "I suggest that you lock him up and put him in solitary confinement in the palace to reflect on his mistakes. When he is willing to admit his mistakes to my brother, Your Majesty will release him. What do you think?"

After hearing this, the emperor immediately began to think about the feasibility of this matter. He still felt a little doubtful and said, "Yin Yichen is the prime minister of the dynasty. If he does something like this, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court will have opinions."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look at the people in this entire palace. I'm afraid that few of them like Yin Yichen. This opportunity to kill his arrogance will give Your Majesty the chance to establish your prestige in front of civil and military officials. Your Majesty, just listen to me. I won't harm you." As soon as Yu Meiren said this, the emperor beside her also began to be tempted.

The emperor immediately said to Concubine Yu, "Very well, then. Tomorrow during the court session, I will sentence Yin Yichen to the palace to reflect on his mistakes. I will release him when he apologizes."

"Your Majesty, I just knew it. Your Majesty treats me the best." Things were getting better for Yu Meiren. She immediately put down the zither in her hand, stood up and sat next to the emperor.

The emperor put his arm around Concubine Yu's shoulders and said to her, "My beloved, I am truly blessed to have you."

"Of course. Your Majesty, you can't find anyone in the entire palace as gentle and loving as me." Concubine Yu leaned against the emperor's chest, her heart filled with affection. "Having your majesty's favor in this life is already a thousand times greater than anyone else's. As for anything else, I wouldn't dare ask for anything more."

The emperor lived up to Concubine Yu's expectations. The next morning, in the court, he immediately reprimanded Yin Yichen, "Yin Yichen, as the prime minister of this dynasty, you are not doing your job. You only know how to fight for power with Gu Jie. Gu Jie was promoted by me. You are picking on him like this. Aren't you just slapping me in the face?"

Seeing the emperor's reaction, Yin Yichen seemed to have expected this. He immediately stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this was not intentional on my part. It's simply because Commander Gu acted too ostentatiously and wronged many good people. As the prime minister, I have no choice but to intervene in this matter. I beg Your Majesty to investigate. If you send someone to investigate, you will know that what I said is true."

After hearing this, the emperor looked at Yin Yichen and slowly said, "You think you have the right to pick on Gu Jie? I have really given you too much face these days, but you have developed such an arrogant and domineering personality. You don't give face to me or the civil and military officials in the court. Who do you think you are? Your glory and wealth are all given to you by me. Without me, you would definitely not be able to take a single step in the court and the capital."

The Prime Minister Yin Yichen had never been treated so harshly in the capital or the imperial court in all these years. Seeing this scene, the entire imperial court was immediately terrified.

Yin Yichen used to be able to call the wind and rain in the court. Although new ministers replaced old ministers in a day, Yin Yichen was at the prime age. Although the current emperor favored Gu Jie, it was a rare thing for him to reprimand Yin Yichen like this.

Yin Yichen remained calm upon seeing this scene. He simply said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I understand. I will definitely reflect on my mistakes in the future and not let Your Majesty worry about me anymore."

The emperor saw Yin Yichen say this, but still refused to forgive him. He immediately said to Yin Yichen, "Do you think I will forgive you if you surrender now? You are so disrespectful to Commander Gu. If you apologize to Commander Gu now, I will consider whether to forgive you. Otherwise, you can stay in the palace and reflect on your mistakes. When you apologize, you can leave the palace."

After hearing this, Yin Yichen simply smiled faintly and said, "Since Your Majesty has already made up his mind, why does he need to ask me to apologize in front of you?"

"How dare you! I have spoiled you too much these days, allowing you to yell at me like that. Come on, drag Yin Yichen out and make him reflect on his mistakes in the Yellow Palace. Let him out when he has figured it out." The emperor had a dark face and seemed to be really angry.

Yin Yichen looked at the guards around him and immediately said to the emperor sitting on the throne, "Your Majesty, thank you very much."

Yin Yichen wasn't in a hurry, but Song Jing and Song Lan, who were standing behind him, were extremely anxious. Song Jing immediately stepped forward and pleaded with the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is still young after all. Please, Your Majesty, consider your Majesty's dedication to the court over the years and forgive the Prime Minister this time. I'm afraid the Prime Minister will understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts when he reflects on his mistakes in the future."

After hearing what Song Jing said, the emperor immediately said with a dark face, "Yin Yichen, I have really spoiled you too much these days, allowing you to actually shout at me like this. Come, drag Yin Yichen away and take him to the palace to reflect on his mistakes. Release him when he has figured it out."

The emperor repeated what he had just said, which surprised all the court officials. Now, many people realized that something was wrong with the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor sitting above covered his forehead with his hands, looking like he had a headache.
