After returning to Yu Mansion, Yan Xi was restless and had no appetite. He was in a very bad mood, and even System 5555 could sense it.
"Host, are you okay?"
Yanxi didn't speak.
System 5555 sighed, "Host, don't be sad. Even though you slept, he still didn't increase your mission progress. But you have to be open-minded. Perhaps this method won't work. Let's think of another way."
Who knew that after he said that, Yan Xi felt even more uncomfortable, and said in a muffled voice: "System, I feel uncomfortable."
System 5555: "Hey, Mu Beichen's freeloading behavior is a bit stingy. How about we knock him out and beat him up to vent our anger? I guarantee he won't have a single scratch on his body. He'll think he's dreaming."
Yan Xi shook her head: "No, I don't want to see him for the time being."
System 5555: "Okay, then you can eat something sweet to relieve your anger."
Yan Xi hugged her knees, feeling a little helpless, "I can't eat."
System 5555: "...Then I really have no idea what to do. Just calm down."
After that, it went offline.
Yan Xi sat for a while, and because he was exhausted and felt sleepy, he simply lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
At dinner time, Yu Zhiyi found that he had not come out to eat all day. He was very worried and went to call him in person.
Yan Xi was woken up. He rubbed his eyes and went out to see him, "Father."
"Xier, why haven't you come out since you came back from the Third Prince's palace? The servants said you didn't even have lunch. What's wrong with you?" Yu Zhiyi's eyes were full of worry.
Yan Xi shook his head, "Nothing, I'm just too sleepy."
"Are you too sleepy? Doesn't the Third Prince let you sleep?" Yu Zhiyi had just finished speaking when he accidentally glanced at the red mark on his neck and was stunned for a moment.
Yan Xi noticed his gaze, her face panicked slightly, and she covered her eyes randomly.
Yu Zhiyi understood what it was, but he didn't point it out. "Even if you're too sleepy, you have to come out and eat. Let's go and have dinner first."
"Yeah, okay." Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief and followed him.
Fortunately, Yu Zhiyi did not ask him why he stayed at Mu Beichen's house yesterday, nor did he ask what they did yesterday.
Yan Xi let down his guard and ate his meal peacefully.
After eating, Yan Xi couldn't sleep, so he practiced sword in the back garden to divert his attention.
Yu Zhiyi asked someone to investigate what happened last night, and the result left him speechless.
Since Yan Xi didn't want to talk about it, he didn't mention it and pretended not to know.
But the Sixth Prince was unlucky. He was attacked from both sides by Mu Beichen and Yu Zhiyi. An official revealed all his shameful deeds in the past. The emperor was furious and punished him to go to a cold and bitter place and never return to Beijing.
When leaving court, Mu Beichen asked Yu Zhiyi about Yan Xi's recent situation.
Yu Zhiyi stopped and said, "Third Prince, this kind of thing is a bit sudden for everyone. I hope you can keep it a secret and forget about it."
Mu Beichen opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"I still have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now." Yu Zhiyi clenched the jade token in his hand and hurried away.
Mu Beichen stood there, looking at his back for a long, long time, until he disappeared from sight. Then he lifted his feet, but unexpectedly, his legs became weak for some time, and he couldn't stop shaking when he walked, and his whole body was swaying.
Since then, Yan Xi did not go to find him, and he did not go to see Yan Xi.
The two seemed like strangers.
During the days when they were not together, Mu Beichen studied very hard and worked hard to improve himself. Because he was very smart, the Grand Tutor liked him very much and praised him many times in front of the Emperor.
The emperor was very pleased and began to take him to handle government affairs, and also used some problems from the previous dynasty to test his abilities.
Mu Beichen was so favored that the princes became a little anxious.
I thought it was just a country bumpkin who wouldn't cause any trouble, but it turned out to be a small poisonous snake.
The princes each had their own ulterior motives and began to plot against Mu Beichen.
The emperor knew what was going on and did not intend to interfere in everything. Instead, he allowed them to target Mu Beichen.
In fact, Mu Beichen did not disappoint him. He handled every matter very beautifully, which made the princes even more wary.
Three years passed in a flash, and Mu Beichen's power grew stronger and stronger. On the Prime Minister's 50th birthday, he led the Imperial Guards to the Prime Minister's residence and killed him. The general who attended the banquet was poisoned and died on the spot.
The scene was in chaos. The prime minister's wife, her son's daughter, and the general's wife were clamoring for the emperor to give them justice.
Mu Beichen was very calm. When he arrived at the hall, he directly threw out the evidence that the prime minister and the general were attempting to rebel.
There are witnesses and evidence, including the dragon robe that the prime minister had secretly sewn.
Everyone was speechless, and soon after, the prime minister and the general were both implicated along with their entire clans.
Before the imperial concubine had time to feel sad, she was banished to the cold palace.
Before entering the palace, he laughed loudly and threatened to make a comeback like a madman.
After listening to Eunuch Feng's story, the emperor smiled coldly.
There are no restrictions in the cold palace where the imperial concubine lives, and everyone can go there.
The concubines who had been bullied by her secretly used tricks against her, and the palace maids and eunuchs even insulted her to the utmost. However, they did not dare to go too far for fear of angering the emperor.
After all, she was once the Imperial Noble Consort. If you hit her in the face, isn't that the same as hitting the Emperor in the face?
However, the emperor's indifferent reaction made them lose even the last bit of fear, and they began to escalate.
The imperial concubine could not bear the humiliation and hanged herself.
The emperor listened and said nothing.
