The emperor's face was tense, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes: "What's going on? Has the imperial physician seen it?"
The young eunuch trembled and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xuan's personal maid came to report that Concubine Xuan suddenly fainted when she heard that Prince Mo was in trouble. She came to report to Your Majesty in a hurry, and it seems that she has not yet asked the imperial physician to see her."
"Stupid servant, summon the imperial physician to treat Concubine Xuan immediately. Ask all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau to go and make sure to wake Concubine Xuan up." The worry in the emperor's voice was self-evident.
"Yes!" The young eunuch went to do it immediately.
"She didn't faint earlier or later, but at this time. Concubine Xuan really knows how to pick the right time." Yan Tianming muttered softly.
Zhou Cai was so scared that his face turned pale: "Do you want to die? You must not say this in front of His Majesty, otherwise I will be implicated by you."
"I know. I'm not stupid." Yan Tianming curled his lips.
Fortunately, the two people were standing at the back and their voices were low, so no one noticed them.
The emperor wanted to go see Concubine Xuan, but when he saw Cang Tingchen kneeling on the ground, he was furious: "It was you, a fool, who caused Concubine Xuan to faint. If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you!"
Cang Tingchen, who had wanted to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, now dared not even breathe: "Father, you are teaching me that this is all my fault. I deserve death. Please go see my mother. My mother doesn't know what I did. She is innocent."
The emperor's stern expression finally eased a little: "You have some conscience." Then he was about to leave.
When Father Ye saw this, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the matter of Prince Mo's embezzlement has been investigated clearly. Please punish him severely."
The emperor glared at him and said, "Why, do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Father Ye was so frightened that he trembled: "I dare not, it is my fault, Your Majesty, please punish me."
Seeing that His Majesty had no intention of punishing Prince Mo, Mother Ye made a compromise and said, "Your Majesty, Xingchen was killed by Prince Mo. If she was buried in the royal tomb after her death, others would definitely point fingers at her. Now I have no other requests, but only ask Your Majesty to let her and Prince Mo divorce, so that Xingchen can rest in peace. Please grant me your wish!"
Cang Tingchen looked disdainful: "She still wants to be buried in the royal ancestral tomb, don't dream."
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he warned him: "Shut up, it's all your fault. Now that Ye Xingchen is dead and the Ye family wants a divorce, Prince Mo, you should write the divorce letter."
"Ye Xingchen is shameless and has ruined the reputation of Prince Mo's Mansion. I will never divorce her and have no choice but to divorce her!" Cang Tingchen said reluctantly.
Before the emperor could speak, Ye's father was furious: "Prince Mo is so cruel, after all, my daughter has been with you for three years, and in these three years she has been worse than a servant in your house, being humiliated and bullied by you all day long.
Now that she has been killed by you, my Ye family only wanted to preserve our daughter's reputation. Prince Mo is so heartless that he even humiliates my daughter in his death. This is really too much.
Although my Ye family is only an imperial merchant, and does not have the status and position of Prince Mo, I am willing to use all the wealth of the Ye family to fight Prince Mo's Mansion to the end, and never give up.
After all, Xingchen is my only daughter."
Cang Tingchen's expression was also cold and angry. He just wanted to humiliate Ye Xingchen: "Just come at me, I will accompany you to the end!"
The emperor looked at the two sides and cursed until his eyes turned red. Then he said quietly: "Ye Xingchen and Prince Mo are both wrong in this matter. Now that Ye Xingchen is gone, her title of Princess Mo will be abolished. Prince Mo, you should write a divorce letter immediately. From now on, Prince Mo's Mansion and the Ye family will have no relationship!"
"Father!" Cang Tingchen wanted to say something, but was instantly killed by the emperor's fierce glare.
"Do you want to disobey my order? The Ye family only wants a divorce. They don't ask you to pay with your life. This is already giving you enough face. Don't be ungrateful!" the emperor cursed.
Cang Tingchen was startled, and reluctantly agreed: "Father, your Majesty has taught me this, and I will write it down right away."
Father Ye was extremely grateful: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting my daughter rest in peace. From now on, the Ye family will follow your Majesty's lead."
The emperor was extremely satisfied. He knew that the reason why Prince Mo had been so successful in recent years and won over many ministers in the court was because of the support of the Ye family.
Now that Ye Xingchen has died tragically and the Mo Palace and the Ye family have broken up, it is a good opportunity to conquer the Ye family.
"Don't be too sad, Ye Qing. You don't have to go to court these days. Just take care of Ye Xingchen's funeral." The emperor comforted.
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I am grateful." Father Ye said as he raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears that did not exist on his face.
Eunuch Wu immediately brought paper and pen, and Prince Mo wrote the divorce letter.
Father Ye took it and looked at it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he immediately put it in his arms like a treasure and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
The emperor nodded: "Step back."
Ye Xiaosha glanced at Ye Xingchen who was lying on the ground, and without saying a word, he carried his sister on his back and left. The two elders of the Ye family followed closely behind.
"Now that everything has been resolved, it's time for me to go back." Cang Boyi said.
At this time, the doctor came over with a bowl of medicine and said, "Your Majesty, the medicine for the regent is ready."
"Regent, please don't let me down." The emperor looked concerned.
Cang Boyi glanced at the bowl of black medicine and said with great respect: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Then he took it and drank it.
Seeing that he had finished the bowl of medicine, the emperor finally relaxed his tense heart: "In that case, you can go back."
"Yes." Cang Boyi turned and left.
"Father, are you really going to let him go like this? I'm sure he has a special relationship with Ye Xingchen. Your uncle must want to win over the Ye family?" Cang Tingchen said, fanning the flames.
The emperor rolled his eyes at him and said, "Idiot, if you can see it, how can I not see it? When will Cang Boyi, who was indifferent when someone died in front of him, meddle in other people's business?"
Fortunately, Ye Xingchen is dead. The Ye family is just a merchant family and can't make any waves. But you, a bastard, actually dared to embezzle the money for disaster relief. If this matter gets out, you will lose your head!"
Cang Tingchen's face turned pale: "Father, please calm down. I was confused for a moment. I didn't touch the silver at all. Isn't it all returned to you, Father?"
"If it weren't for the silver, do you think your head would still be hanging around your neck? Go back and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to enter the palace without my order!" the emperor roared.
"Yes!" Cang Tingchen walked away with his tail between his legs.
Outside the palace, Cang Boyi just walked out of the palace gate and got on the carriage. He immediately used his inner strength to force out the medicine he had drunk, then picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Send someone to tell the victims of the disaster that it was Prince Mo who embezzled the money for disaster relief, causing their families to be broken up and displaced."
"Yes!" Su Ruoan went to do it immediately.
"Zhan Bai, you go and protect Ye Xingchen yourself. The Ye family will not be peaceful tonight." Cang Boyi frowned slightly.
With Cang Tingchen's vengeful personality, he will definitely not let Ye Xingchen and the Ye family go.
"yes."
