Princess Qinghe noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Jue and called out to him, "Jue'er, Jue'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother."
Zhao Jue looked at Princess Qinghe and quickly grabbed her arm. "Mother, please ask Daddy and my cousin to restore my position as Crown Prince. As long as Daddy and His Majesty plead, His Majesty will restore my position as Crown Prince."
"This..." Princess Qinghe hesitated to speak.
Zhao Jue said, "Mother, please talk to father and ask His Majesty to restore my position as Crown Prince. Without the title, how can I marry Ruhuan? Mother! Please help me, mother!"
"You bastard!"
Prince Qinghe walked quickly into the room, looked at his only legitimate son Zhao Jue, and felt very disappointed with him. He raised his hand to slap him, and then scratched another one with the other hand.
Princess Qinghe threw herself on Zhao Jue to protect him, "Your Highness, please show some mercy. Jue'er is our only son. If you kill him, I will die too."
Prince Qinghe was raging with rage, and he even scolded Princess Qinghe, "A loving mother often spoils her son. Jue'er was spoiled by you. If you hadn't indulged her in everything, would Jue'er have done such a shameless thing?"
Princess Qinghe was so aggrieved that she burst into tears. "Whatever the prince says is true. It's all my fault. You're not at fault at all. It's just a trivial matter, isn't it? Even if the Ye family is favored by His Majesty, they are still servants of the royal family. So Ye Ruhuan is showing respect to Jue'er by warming her bed!"
"Fools, all of you idiots! You still have the nerve to ask me to beg His Majesty to reinstate you as the Crown Prince. I'm telling you the truth, His Majesty personally abolished your position as the Crown Prince, and there's absolutely no chance of it being restored. You have no shame, but the Qinghe Palace still has some!"
Prince Qinghe was completely enraged by Princess Qinghe and her son.
"Father, I cannot be without the position of Crown Prince. I must marry Ruhuan." Zhao Jue said.
Prince Qinghe raised his hand to slap the rebellious son, but Princess Qinghe tightly protected Zhao Jue, so Prince Qinghe had to give up. He said, "You evil creature, you still want to marry Ye Ruhuan! His Majesty just wanted to give the Ye family an explanation, so he abolished your position as Crown Prince. Even if His Majesty does not give the Ye family an explanation, based on what you have done in the palace, His Majesty will also depose you!"
Prince Qinghe didn't want to look at his evil son any longer, so he turned away.
Prince Qinghe's words reminded Princess Qinghe that Zhao Jue was usually very well-behaved and obedient, but since he met Ye Ruhuan, he seemed like a different person.
If it wasn't for that vixen Ye Ruhuan who bewitched her son, her son wouldn't have done that kind of thing, leading to His Majesty deposing Zhao Jue from the position of Crown Prince?
All the mistakes were Ye Ruhuan's fault.
Princess Qinghe's eyes were filled with hatred. She not only hated Ye Ruhuan, but also hated the Ye family.
Ye Zelin was not surprised to learn that Zhao Jue's position as crown prince had been abolished.
Zhao Jue is the prince of Qinghe Palace. It is precisely because of this identity that he dares to openly bully Ruhuan. Without the blessing of this identity as a prince, he is nothing.
It is more cost-effective to make Zhao Jue lose the position of Crown Prince than to beat him up. If Zhao Jue is just beaten up, he can still live happily as the Crown Prince of Qinghe after he recovers.
If Zhao Jue lost the identity he was proud of, even if he was still the son of King Qinghe, he would hardly be as prosperous as he is today.
A memorial caused Zhao Jue to lose his position as crown prince, but this was only the first step.
My father took the first step, so let him take the second step.
If he doesn't deal a heavy blow to the Qinghe Palace, he is not Ye Zelin!
Ye Zelin called Si De over and said, "Si De, I remember Bao Changzhou was a student of the Minister of Chancellery. It was he who recommended Bao Changzhou to the prefecture of Tokyo with His Majesty."
Side said, "Yes, Shangshu Ling has been supporting Bao Changzhou a lot over the years, and the two of them have had private interactions. Shangshu Ling was also the chief examiner for Bao Changzhou's imperial examination that year. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was half a teacher to Bao Changzhou. I've heard people mention that Shangshu Ling once said that Bao Changzhou was one of his most proud students."
Ye Zelin asked, "I asked you to investigate the gambling house before. You should have found a lot of things."
Side nodded. "That gambling house has been involved in numerous incidents, including cheating and forcing people to gamble. A few years ago, someone was killed, but we settled the matter with a small sum of money. The real issue isn't that. The man behind the gambling house is Mu Hongguang, the Minister of Revenue. He used the gambling house to lend money at high interest rates, accepted bribes, and forced several people to death. Quite a few officials were implicated."
Ye Zelin seemed to be thinking about something. "Mu Hongguang? He is that person's man. Side, send the evidence you collected to Bao Changzhou. Let's give Bao Changzhou some credit."
Si De asked, "Who can we ask to deliver it? It's not necessary for you to do it yourself."
Ye Zelin smiled and said, "It was sent by the victim."
Si De responded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
"Do it nicely so no one can notice anything." Ye Zelin said.
Si De patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry about me doing the job. There is no follower in the general's mansion who can do the job better than me."
Ye Zelin laughed, "Yes, he's even more capable than your father."
The ability to get things done with the four virtues is not empty.
Side was delighted to receive Ye Zelin's praise, and his eyebrows curved into two crescents. The young master trusted him the most, so he must do things beautifully.
After the man left, Hua Fushu poked his head out from behind the screen and said, "Hey, is that how you fooled Xiao Dezi?"
Ye Zelin corrected her choice of words, "How can that be considered deceiving? I was praising the Four Virtues, how can that be considered deceiving?"
Hua Fushu said, "What's the difference? You're exaggerating so falsely that Xiao Dezi actually believed your lies."
Ye Zelin said calmly, "You eavesdropped."
"It's you who doesn't avoid me." Hua Fushu said.
"No need." There are some things that you don't need to hide from the person next to you.
Hua Fushu felt a lump in her stomach and a little uncomfortable. He said there was no need to avoid her, but what she had always done was to avoid Ye Zelin.
He trusted her so much, but she couldn't say a word.
At least, she couldn't say it until she was sure of their true thoughts about the heir of Plum Blossom.
Hua Fushu winked at him, "Husband, why would you avoid me?"
"If there is something I need to avoid you for, would I still tell you?" Ye Zelin asked back.
"Too."
Hua Fushu made a face and then retracted his head.
Ye Zelin was avoiding her about the successor of Meihua, and she was also avoiding him, they understood each other tacitly. Hua Fushu thought so in her heart, comforted herself, and felt much better.
The next day.
As a military general, Ye Shiheng did not need to attend the morning court every day. This time, it had been nearly half a month since the last morning court.
After the court meeting, the faint sunlight shone on the green glazed tiles, and the white marble steps still retained traces of night fog. Ye Shiheng whistled and was in a particularly good mood.
He went to court to report on military affairs in the western border, and at the same time, His Majesty ordered him to serve concurrently as the commander of the camp in the western suburbs of Kyoto.
"General Ye, wait."
Prince Qinghe called out Ye Shiheng and walked to Ye Shiheng's side in two steps.
Ye Shiheng's face darkened immediately. He looked at Prince Qinghe as if he was looking at Zhao Jue who bullied his daughter.
Zhao Jue bullied his daughter, so Ye Shiheng was naturally unhappy when he saw Zhao Jue's father.
