Chapter 155 Where does the confidence come from
“Teacher Li is really fickle…” Xia Yunxi was not at all flustered, and even mocked Li Yuan: “Just now you said that the Regent was a traitor, and now… you are asking me to explain…”
Su Xing was once again amazed at Xia Yunxi's acting skills. Even at this time, she could still remain calm.
Where does she get the confidence from?
"Empress Dowager!" Li Yuan couldn't hold back his expression, so he said more emphatically, "I am not slandering anyone for no reason, but I want to live up to the trust of the late emperor!"
Speaking of the late emperor, he finally regained some confidence: "Anyone who wants to harm the emperor, I will not sit idly by!"
Xia Yunxi smiled meaningfully, but then turned into a look of disdain: "The late emperor's entrustment? Just you?"
Li Yuan's eyes suddenly widened. He didn't expect Xia Yunxi to be so disrespectful to him.
But what he didn't expect was yet to come. Xia Yunxi suddenly became a different person, with a venomous look in her eyes and a distorted face. "Since you said that the late emperor had given us instructions, I would like to ask you, what kind of life have we lived for all these years? Why have you been standing by and watching?"
"How dare you say that you were entrusted by the late emperor? Are you worthy of the late emperor?"
Li Yuan was shocked. He didn't even have time to think about whether Xia Yunxi's accusation was reasonable. He was shocked by the question of whether he deserved it.
He subconsciously opened his mouth to explain: "This old man..."
Su Xing was extremely anxious. This Xia Yunxi was really good at brainwashing people. It was clearly her fault, but she actually fooled others first...
He hurriedly looked towards Ye Linghan, hoping that Ye Linghan would stop him immediately, otherwise Li Yuan would be taken away by Xia Yunxi...
Ye Linghan did not speak, but Ye Lingchen stood up and said, "The Queen Mother is wrong."
After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and the next moment they all turned their attention to Ye Lingchen.
"The Queen Mother said that the past few years have been difficult?" Ye Lingchen asked with a half-smile, "The Emperor was still young when he ascended the throne, and the other countries are all eyeing him covetously. The people of Ye Country are also confused about the future."
"If it weren't for my brother conquering the other countries with his strength, would the people have confidence in the future of the Night Country? Can you and the emperor stay in this palace safely?"
Ye Lingchen became more and more excited as he spoke: "At that time, what do you want Master Li to do?"
He sneered and said, "Let my brother leave all these messes to you and the emperor?"
As Ye Lingchen questioned, everyone couldn't help but recall the situation of the Ye Kingdom when Ye Lingrui had just ascended the throne, and also recalled everything Ye Linghan had done for the Ye Kingdom.
Ye Linghan is certainly terrifying, but it is precisely because of his terrifying stature that the Ye Kingdom has its current status and prosperity.
Thinking of this, their opinions of Ye Linghan changed instantly.
Su Xing finally felt relieved and immediately gave Ye Lingchen a thumbs up in his heart.
“Your Highness Prince Ning is right!” Although Li Yuan did not approve of Ye Linghan’s cruel approach, he recognized Ye Linghan’s achievements: “The Queen Mother should stop trying to cover up the truth and give us an explanation as soon as possible!”
Xia Yunxi did not answer immediately, but she did not appear flustered or uneasy as everyone thought.
She still had that smiling face, and looked slowly at the people who were waiting for her explanation.
After a while, he said indifferently: "I didn't do anything. There is nothing to explain."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.
Everyone showed an expression of disbelief. What on earth was this?
Guilty?
Not really.
Cheating?
Not really.
"Empress Dowager!" Li Yuan immediately had a guess in his mind. He ignored the shock and regret and continued to ask: "If you insist on doing this, I can only act according to the law!"
The others also showed angry expressions and all agreed with Li Yuan's statement.
At this moment, Ye Lingrui, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, took two steps at a time and ran to Xia Yunxi, then opened his arms to protect Xia Yunxi: "You can't hurt my mother, I will never allow it!"
Although Ye Lingrui is young, he has been the emperor for several years. He has people kneeling to him every day, so he has developed some aura.
At this moment, as it concerns his mother, the momentum is quite terrifying.
The ministers were all well-read and had always believed in the relationship between the ruler and his subjects. They were so frightened that they dared not say a word. Even Li Yuan didn't know what to do.
In desperation, he actually looked at Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan was like watching a play, with a hint of sarcasm on his handsome face the whole time.
Especially when Li Yuan looked at him, the mockery on his face became even stronger.
After a moment, he turned to Ye Lingrui and asked in an oppressive voice: "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to help the tyrant?"
Ye Lingrui had always been afraid of Ye Linghan, and his body trembled.
But he quickly gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "I won't let you touch my mother!"
Ye Linghan didn't get angry, but instead curled his lips coldly, but then his face darkened: "Your Majesty, don't forget your status!"
"These people..." Ye Linghan pointed at the civil and military officials in the court: "And your people, where do you put them?"
Ye Lingrui was so frightened that he took a step back and stared blankly at the scene below.
"Your Majesty!" The ministers immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!"
Ye Lingrui stopped talking. His little face showed struggle, confusion and anxiety, which was particularly pitiful to look at.
During the entire process, Xia Yunxi didn't say a word and just hid behind Ye Lingrui...
Su Xing was extremely angry. This Xia Yunxi was so vicious, she was almost as bad as Concubine Rong.
He couldn't help but sigh that there was nothing to envy about being a prince. He couldn't even get the love of his parents that ordinary people had. What was the point of having all the wealth and glory?
Just as Su Xing was deeply emotional, there was suddenly a commotion around him.
He quickly looked up and saw Ye Lingrui turned around and walked towards his seat with heavy steps.
Ye Linghan immediately ordered: "Come here, take down the Queen Mother!"
Ye Lingrui's small figure paused violently, and then his whole body trembled, but he never turned around.
Two guards walked quickly to Xia Yunxi, and instead of taking action directly, they made a "please" gesture.
Xia Yunxi was unmoved. Instead, she looked at Ye Linghan with a smile on her face: "Regent, are you sure you want to do this?"
Ye Ling looked at her coldly without responding.
Xia Yunxi didn't mind and continued, "I remind you to think twice..."
"If I make any mistake, there will be no turning back..."
After saying this, she actually looked outside the hall meaningfully.
Everyone has always wondered where Xia Yunxi got the confidence from as she was always so calm.
After hearing these words and seeing Xia Yunxi's strange behavior, they suddenly thought of something and immediately showed expressions of fear...
Su Xing naturally thought that since Xia Yunxi dared to threaten Ye Linghan like this, she must have some conspiracy with Mu Yuanhou.
As long as she is captured in the palace, Marquis Mu Yuan will do something horrible...
