Ye Xingchen was shocked: "What's going on?"
"My brother sent me news this morning, saying that the Third Young Master was captured by the Imperial Guards early in the morning, and the Ye family was also surrounded by the Imperial Guards. As for what happened, it is not clear at the moment , and my brother has already gone to investigate.
I got the news and wanted to report it to you, but the regent said he would handle it and not disturb you, so I waited until the princess woke up before telling you." Tang Yu told what happened.
Ye Xingchen's face turned cold: "Where is the Regent?"
"Study. I just saw Su Ruoan go to the study." Tang Yu replied.
Just as Ye Xingchen was about to leave, Cang Boyi came in from outside.
"Regent, I heard that something happened to the Ye family. How is my third brother?" Ye Xingchen asked worriedly.
"My people came to report that someone had reported the Third Young Master for treason and collision with the enemy. They found letters of illicit communication in his office documents, so he was arrested by Your Majesty.
As for the Ye family, someone reported that your father took advantage of his purchasing position to enrich himself and embezzle the royal family's money, so the Ye Mansion was surrounded." Cang Boyi explained.
Ye Xingchen's expression became even uglier, his eyes were sharp and cold: "My third brother doesn't have the guts to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and my father will not embezzle money. The Ye family is rich enough to rival a country, and they don't even look down on the money of the royal family.
So, someone framed the Ye family and deliberately designed it. That person should be the emperor. "
Cang Boyi's face showed a little more guilt: "Xingchen, I'm sorry, it was me who implicated the Ye family. His Majesty is targeting me. After all, I never told you about our wedding, and I hurt so many of his people, so he took this as revenge. But he didn't dare to touch me, so he could only vent his anger on the Ye family.
Don't worry, I have already informed the Dali Temple, and they will not torture your third brother. I have already sent people to investigate the people who framed the Ye family. I will never allow anyone to harm your family.
I will go to the palace to see the emperor now. Since His Majesty is targeting me, I will see what the emperor wants. "
"I will go into the palace with you." Ye Xingchen said solemnly.
In fact, Cang Boyi didn't want Ye Xingchen to enter the palace. The emperor was obviously targeting the Ye family and himself, but he also knew Ye Xingchen's temper and couldn't persuade him at all.
"Okay, then let's go together." Cang Boyi nodded.
No matter what happens, he will not let the emperor hurt Ye Xingchen.
The Imperial Palace.
When the emperor heard that the Regent and Ye Xingchen had arrived, he did not let them in immediately, but had already instructed Eunuch Wu.
Eunuch Wu said respectfully: "This old servant has seen the Regent. His Majesty has ordered that he will not see anyone. Please go back, Regent."
Cang Boyi's face was stern. He didn't care about the emperor's tricks at all: "Get out of the way. I want to see His Majesty today."
Eunuch Wu looked embarrassed: "Please don't embarrass me, Regent. Your Majesty is really in-----"
"Get out of here!" Cang Boyi roared, kicked Eunuch Wu, and pulled Ye Xingchen straight to the imperial study.
The guards at the door immediately tried to stop them. Cang Boyi glared at them angrily and said, "Who dares?"
The guards were all shocked by the powerful and cold aura of the Regent. Their hands holding the swords trembled. "Please stop, Regent!"
"What? Even you dare to stop me?" Cang Boyi roared.
The guard was so scared that he was about to say something before Cang Boyi slapped him and sent him flying, and the door of the imperial study was opened as well.
The emperor had heard the noise outside a long time ago, and the reason he didn't let anyone open the door was just to deliberately humiliate the regent, but he didn't expect that he would actually use force.
"Regent, do you want to rebel?" the emperor roared in the imperial study.
Then all the imperial guards outside the imperial study rushed over, leading Cang Boyi and Ye Xingchen.
It seemed that as long as the emperor gave the order, Cang Boyi and Ye Xingchen would not be able to leave the palace.
But Cang Boyi was not afraid at all, and looked at the emperor coldly: "If I want to rebel, do you think you can still sit firmly on the throne? If Your Majesty forces me to do so, I don't mind doing as Your Majesty wishes!"
The voice was cold and domineering, without a trace of warmth and extremely cruel.
It was the first time that the emperor had seen Cang Boyi so bloodthirsty and cold-blooded. In the past, he always kept silent because of his physical condition. He looked extremely weak, as if he would fall down at the slightest breeze. But at this moment, Cang Boyi was extremely ruthless, with a strong aura and no mercy at all.
It seemed as if, if the emperor insisted, he would really do so.
The emperor immediately felt guilty. He had lost thousands of people at Cang Boyi's wedding a few days ago. The emperor was extremely angry.
He didn't know that Cang Boyi had hidden so much strength over the years.
"Regent, you are so insolent. After all these years you finally stop pretending and admit that you have been unwilling to let me inherit the throne?" The emperor snorted coldly.
Cang Boyi sneered: "This king doesn't care about the throne at all. It's you, Your Majesty, who cares too much and thinks that everyone will be like you."
"Really? Then why didn't you tell me about your wedding to Ye Xingchen?" asked the emperor.
"If I tell His Majesty, will He still let me get married?" Cang Boyi said coldly.
"Of course not." The emperor did not hide it any more.
"In that case, Your Majesty, why are you still talking nonsense? Please release the people from the Ye family." Cang Boyi's voice was cold and stern. It was not a request, but an order.
The emperor was naturally furious: "The third son of the Ye family colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the Ye family embezzled the money for the purchase. I must be vigilant."
Cang Boyi sneered and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, do you really have to expose this trick of framing me?"
The emperor was so angry that his face turned black: "Prince Regent, if you continue to make trouble like this, don't blame me for being rude. The informant has solid evidence. I have ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. Naturally, I will not frame anyone!"
"Really?" Cang Boyi said sarcastically.
Ye Xingchen looked at the tense situation between Cang Boyi and the emperor, his face solemn: "Since Your Majesty said that someone pointed out my third brother and father, could Your Majesty please bring the witnesses up and let them confront my third brother and father on the spot."
The emperor glared at her angrily: "Ye Xingchen, you are so bold! How can a woman like you interfere in government affairs!"
"She is my princess, so she is naturally not an ordinary woman." Cang Boyi immediately defended her.
The emperor was so angry that he said angrily, "So what if she is the regent princess? I am the emperor of Cang Yue Kingdom. I have the final say over the entire Cang Yue Kingdom."
"So, Your Majesty, you won't release them?" Cang Boyi's voice was cold and threatening.
"Collaboration with the enemy, treason and corruption are both serious crimes. I will naturally investigate them slowly." The emperor snorted angrily.
He just won't let him go. What can Cang Boyi do to him? Does he really dare to rebel?
"Since my royal brother said so, please don't blame me if I do anything out of line." Cang Boyi's forehead was bulging with veins, and he pushed towards the emperor coldly.
That fierce look was like a blade, shooting towards him fiercely. It was too aggressive and made the emperor feel inexplicably guilty.
"Regent, don't forget that I am the only one who can cure your health," the emperor threatened.
Since the Regent knew that he had poisoned him, then let him know. He didn't believe that Cang Boyi would not care about his own health.
Cang Boyi sneered: "The poison that Your Majesty gave me has been cured, so Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it."
The emperor was shocked: "How is this possible? Who, who helped you to remove the poison?"
