"Seventh Prince, this is the Prince's private courtyard. You cannot go in."
The guards at the door stopped Ye Yueze outside, but dared not be violent towards him for fear of hurting him. The Seventh Prince was the Regent's darling, and if the Seventh Prince was injured, there would be no way out but death.
"Get out of my way!"
Ye Yueze pushed the two guards aside and ran into Su Luo's courtyard, looking around nervously.
Lian'er didn't recognize Ye Yueze and immediately stopped him, saying, "You're so rude. This is our princess's courtyard."
Ye Yueze looked very anxious, but when facing Lian'er, he still took a step back.
"I am the seventh prince of Northern Liang, and I request an audience with the Vice Minister of Agriculture."
"Another prince. Are all the people of Beiliang so rude? Locking our princess in this small courtyard and not letting us out."
Lian'er disliked the people of Beiliang, especially the royal family. Although she had never met Ye Yueze, she still disliked him from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know my brother had locked you up here, but I'm here to see the Deputy Minister of Agriculture. I have something urgent to discuss with her."
"Little sister, could you please go in and tell the Vice Minister of Agriculture that we met in Nanning, and she will definitely see me."
Lian'er raised her chin and crossed her arms proudly in front of her. The princess would not help the people of Beiliang.
"Lian'er, don't make things difficult for the Seventh Prince."
Su Luo saw Ye Yueze enter the room, but she didn't know if he was sent by Ye Beihan.
“Vice Minister of Agriculture, I’ve finally met you. I only found out this morning that you’ve arrived in Beiliang and are staying at my brother’s residence. With you here, I feel much more at ease.”
Judging from what Ye Yueze said, Ye Beihan did not tell everyone that she had come to Beiliang.
"Does the Seventh Prince want to see me?"
“Yes! I heard Manyu mention in Nanning that the Deputy Minister of Agriculture has exceptional medical skills. I came here today to invite the Deputy Minister of Agriculture to come to the palace with me so that I can see my father, the Emperor.”
"Enter the palace?"
Being able to leave this small courtyard might not be a bad thing, especially since she had been in Beiliang for several days and had not heard any news from the Beiliang emperor.
"Yes, Father Emperor is seriously ill and bedridden. He has been seen by almost all the famous doctors in the entire Northern Liang, but there has been no improvement."
I was also worried about my father's health, and I heard that the Vice Minister of Agriculture was at my brother's residence, so I came here on my own initiative.
As long as he can get out of this impenetrable Regent's Palace, Su Luo is willing to go see him no matter what his illness is.
“I can try, but I can’t guarantee that my medical skills will be able to cure the Emperor of Northern Liang.”
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, Ye Yueze was overjoyed and immediately gestured for Su Luo to proceed.
"Vice Minister of Agriculture, please..."
Su Luo took Lian'er and went with Ye Yueze. The guards at the door knew they couldn't stop Ye Yueze.
Seeing that Ye Yueze had taken Su Luo away again, the two discussed it and had no choice but to go and report to Ye Beihan.
Once inside the palace, carriages were not allowed, so Ye Yueze and Su Luo had to walk.
Looking at the palace, which is decorated with gold and jade everywhere, it is extremely luxurious on the surface, but when people walk under these high walls, they feel a chill.
Like resentment, or perhaps a sense of unwillingness to accept defeat, how many unfulfilled grievances lie beneath these high walls?
Su Luo turned to look at the innocent and naive boy beside her. It was really hard to imagine that he and someone as extreme as Ye Beihan were siblings from the same mother.
"Seventh Prince, what kind of person do you think the Regent is?"
Su Luo couldn't help but ask the question.
Speaking of his brother, Ye Yueze smiled knowingly: "My brother is a very good person. He is good to me too. In short, he is good in every way. With him around, I have nothing to be afraid of."
"I heard that in the Northern Liang royal family, there seem to be only two princes, you and Ye Beihan, and you are the seventh prince. So besides Ye Beihan, there should be five other princes ahead of you. Have they all gone to their fiefdoms?"
Su Luo asked the question knowingly. Nangong Chiyu had already told her that the royal family of Beiliang had killed each other, all the princes were dead, and the throne of Beiliang was destined to fall into the hands of Ye Beihan and Ye Yueze in the future.
However, Ye Yueze was too naive. In the hearts of the people across the country, Ye Beihan had long been the only choice to become the Emperor of Beiliang.
"this……"
Ye Yueze lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "I only have my brother. Everyone else has committed crimes and been punished by Father."
The current state of Northern Liang is a consequence of their own actions.
Ye Yueze knew that his brother had a miserable childhood, so his brother had protected him since he was a child, not wanting him to repeat the same mistakes, and also hoping that he could grow up in a good environment.
My brother's chronic illness had always been a laughing stock in the royal family. They used to ridicule and mock him behind his back. Now that they're all dead, it's their retribution.
"So that's how it is. I noticed that the Seventh Prince is rather thin. Have you never practiced martial arts?"
Unable to get any further information from the Regent's Palace, Su Luo did not let any opportunity to find poisonous insects slip by.
"Of the six arts of a gentleman, I learned horseback riding and archery. As for the others, I didn't have much exposure to them. My brother would have preferred me to study more."
Ye Yueze had no idea that Su Luo was trying to trick him into revealing information, and besides, what Su Luo said to him was just some casual conversation.
"So it seems the Seventh Prince has never been to the battlefield? I wonder how Beiliang and Nanning fought each other."
"The conflict between the two countries is in their interest. I just need to do my job well, and my father and brother will take care of the political situation."
After saying that, Ye Yueze realized something was wrong and immediately changed the subject.
"Vice Minister of Agriculture, we have arrived at the Emperor's Residence."
Su Luo was incredibly clever; she learned a great deal just from Ye Yueze's few words.
Ye Beihan cherishes his younger brother like a treasure, and he certainly wouldn't want him to learn martial arts.
However, the art of emperors lies in checks and balances, and a situation where two opposing sides are more suitable for the court.
The emperor of Northern Liang couldn't possibly be unaware of such a basic thing, so why would he leave behind his two brothers who were of the same blood?
Su Luo concluded from her analysis that there was only one possibility: the Emperor of Beiliang was being controlled by Ye Beihan.
With that thought in mind, Su Luo looked up at the boy walking in front of her.
Everyone says that Ye Beihan will be the future emperor of Beiliang, but Su Luo doesn't think so. She believes that the future of Beiliang will definitely fall into Ye Yueze's hands.
If Su Luo really thinks this way, then the royal family of Bei Liang is even more chaotic than she imagined. Ye Bei Han controls everyone, and seizing the throne would be effortless for him.
Why did he end up only serving as regent, while clearing away all obstacles to his ascension to the throne?
What he wants is definitely to put Ye Yueze in that supreme position.
Upon entering Yangju Hall, the place was so deserted that it didn't resemble an emperor's residence at all. There were no imperial physicians or palace maids, only an old eunuch by the emperor's side.
Beside the dragon bed was a woman dressed in a magnificent purple robe. She looked elegant and graceful, and her silk robes indicated that she was of extraordinary status.
