Chapter 486: The Imperial Court Punishes
Of course, this idea can only be thought of for a moment. Rebellion is not as simple as just killing the emperor. If people's hearts are not on Yue Fuli's side, she will not be able to sit firmly in that position.
She can't just kill everyone, right?
However, there must be a reason to rebel.
What Yue Fuli lacks now is a reason.
But she believed that the reason would come soon.
The news that Zhou Mu and Yue Zhenhu were executed by Yue Fuli in front of the army soon reached the capital. The emperor was furious and scolded Yue Fuli for ignoring the court and the law. He ordered the Ministry of Justice to arrest her.
When the imperial edict was issued, Prime Minister Ye and his men also took action. However, the imperial edict was sent to the border, while their men went directly to Qianzhou.
Previously, Ye Kai had gone to Baihua Valley, only to discover that Yue Fuli had wiped out all but one or two of their people. As for the treasures left behind by the previous dynasty, Ye Kai hadn't been able to enter, but he did find footprints at the entrance to the underground palace, and he suspected someone had tampered with the contents.
Therefore, Ye Kai immediately reported the news back to the capital, making Prime Minister Ye and his men furious. Initially, they did not suspect Yue Fuli was the one who took the items. It was not until she led her men to the border alone and captured Zhou Mu and Yue Zhenhu, making them publicly reveal the truth about their framing of Yue Zhenhai that Prime Minister Ye realized that he had underestimated Yue Fuli and had begun to suspect her.
Therefore, when the emperor wanted to punish Yue Fuli this time, they all put in a lot of effort.
Lou Chenfeng, who was on his way to the border, also received the news from the capital at the first opportunity. He was extremely anxious. In the end, he simply abandoned his fast horse and used light skills to rush to the border.
After such a rush, he finally arrived at the border the night after he received the news.
The first thing he did when he arrived at the border was to contact Yue Fuli.
Before, Yue Fuli gave him a token of contact, and he took it directly to the dark building.
When the people in the Dark Building saw Lou Chenfeng coming with the token, they immediately contacted Yue Fuli.
Yue Fuli rushed back from the military camp after receiving the news. When she saw Lou Chenfeng, who looked exhausted and dusty, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Lou Chenfeng, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is there something urgent?" Yue Fuli thought that Lou Chenfeng came here because of the money.
Before, Lou Chenfeng sent her a message saying that the place to store the silver was ready and Yue Fuli could deliver the silver at any time.
At that time, Yue Fuli also replied to him, telling him that it was not convenient during this period and it would probably take a month.
But she didn't expect that Lou Chenfeng would chase her to the border.
"Ah Li, I received news that the emperor has issued an order to punish you, so I came here specifically to tell you. I don't think you can stay here any longer. Once the imperial edict is delivered, you won't be able to leave."
After hearing what he said, Yue Fuli laughed and said, "So that's what you're talking about. I thought you were here to ask me for money."
"How could that be? The money issue is not urgent. It's your issue that's more urgent now. I wonder what your plans are."
"It's okay. I received the news as well. However, I plan to meet with the imperial envoy first, and then change the governor for this border area."
"Ali, this is no small matter. You can't be careless." Lou Chenfeng was a little anxious. The imperial envoy had arrived, and he would definitely bring not only the imperial edict, but also the imperial guards. Who knew if there would be secret guards from the palace among those guards?
