Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 236 Ye Zhong’s powerlessness and Emperor Qing’s questioning!
Qing State, Hanging Temple.

The Hanging Temple was very quiet at night. The only sound was the friction of armors worn by the imperial guards on patrol, and not even the sound of insects.

It’s so quiet that it’s a little eerie!
Ye Zhong narrowed his eyes, clearly feeling the heavy atmosphere around him.

Even though he's a little slow in reacting, it doesn't mean he's stupid!

Even if you don’t know what happened, you can at least guess that it has something to do with Northern Qi!
Today is Northern Qi's Queen's coronation ceremony. Based on his understanding of Emperor Qing, Emperor Qing will definitely want to sabotage the ceremony!

The current solemn atmosphere clearly shows that Emperor Qing’s plan has failed!

As Ye Chong frowned in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of armor swinging and the sound of quick running from behind him.

"General, His Majesty summons you!"

After hearing the soldier's report, Ye Chong frowned even deeper, and the hand holding the sword tightened involuntarily.

It is probably not a good thing that Emperor Qing suddenly summoned him at this time!

Maybe she was angry with him because her plan failed!

But since Emperor Qing has summoned him, he cannot not go, otherwise it would be disobeying the Emperor's order!
That would really piss off Emperor Qing!

Ye Zhong loosened his fist weakly, walked past the soldiers without saying a word, and flew towards the highest hall.

In a few quick moves, he arrived in front of the hall and knelt down without any hesitation: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Ye Zhong!"

Even though he tried his best to control his emotions, his voice trembled uncontrollably.

It was not until this moment that he truly realized how insignificant he was!

He is the patriarch of the Ye family, the chief envoy of the Military Affairs Council, the commander of the Kyoto garrison. It can be said without exaggeration that he controls half of the Qing Kingdom's military!

He usually thinks so and is proud of it!
But his experiences during this period made him realize that his official positions and rights were nothing!

He is nothing in front of Chen Luo!

He is nothing in front of Emperor Qing!

The things he was so proud of could be destroyed by others in a snap!

The feeling of powerlessness made him depressed, but he had no way to resist!
"You haven't even come in yet, so how can you come to see me?"

"Forget it. I am burning incense and bathing, so it is not convenient for me to see anyone!"

"I called you here for two things!"

"First, I have been praying for the country of Qing for more than half a month. In my dream at midnight, I seemed to have gone to the temple and met the immortals in the temple!"

"The immortal was grateful for my piety, so he promised me that next year my Qing Kingdom will have good weather and good harvests!"

"So my miracle will end early. You should prepare in advance and set off for Kyoto early tomorrow morning!"

Emperor Qing's calm voice came from the hall, and Ye Zhong's heart, which had been in his throat, instantly calmed down.

Without any hesitation, Ye Zhong immediately responded, "Your Majesty, rest assured. We will prepare overnight and will not let anyone disturb your majesty!"

He didn't know what Emperor Qing wanted to do!
He said he would come here to pray for a month, but now that the one-month period is almost up, he suddenly wants to leave!

The reason is still the same...not convincing!

But he didn't dare to ask, and even expected that Emperor Qing would say something similar to this one!
"Well, there's no need to make a big fuss. Extravagance and waste are not what I want!"

"Another thing, I heard that many people have been talking about the Fan family recently? They said that the Fan family is too powerful and has won over the ministers in the court. I'm afraid they have the intention of rebellion?" "Ye Chong, is there such a rumor among the people?"

Ye Zhong's body stiffened, his nerves tense, his face full of indecision.

Everyone knows that Fan Jian is Emperor Qing’s confidant and they grew up wearing the same pants!

Even if some people say that Chen Pingping might betray Emperor Qing, no one would say that Fan Jian would betray!

Those rumors were obviously targeting the Fan family!
If he can figure this out, there is no reason why Emperor Qing wouldn't figure it out!

Emperor Qing asked this now, and he couldn't figure out what Emperor Qing was thinking for a moment, and couldn't think of how to answer!

If the answer is not good, not only will it anger Emperor Qing, but it may also cause trouble for the Fan family!
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "There is indeed such a rumor among the people. We have sent people to investigate, but we have not yet found out who spread the rumor!"

Emperor Qing in the hall was playing with his wine cup, sneering at Ye Zhong's answer!
Haven’t found out who spread the rumor yet?

Everyone in Qing Kingdom knew that Fan Jian was his confidant, so who would target the Fan family?

The only one who might target the Fan family is Northern Qi!
Although he couldn't think of any benefit this would bring to Northern Qi, it didn't stop him from taking the opportunity to give the Fan family a warning and make those people shut up again!

"Si Nan Bo Fan Jian is a close minister of our Qing Kingdom. If such rumors spread, it will surely cause our Qing Kingdom to fight among itself. He is so evil that he should be killed!"

"I have specially ordered you and other Kyoto garrisons to cooperate with the Inspection Bureau. Even if you have to search the entire Kyoto, you must find out who is spreading rumors and causing trouble for me!"

"In addition, an imperial decree is issued to the palace. Fan Ruoruo, the daughter of Si Nan Bo Fan Jian, is gentle, virtuous and talented, and is a role model for women all over the world. She is specially granted marriage to Li Hongcheng, the son of Jing Nan Wang. The wedding will take place on a chosen date!"

"Go down and pass on the message. I want to hear the people talking about this matter before I return to Kyoto tomorrow!"

Granting Fan Ruoruo in marriage to Li Hongcheng, the prince of Jingnan, is equivalent to holding Fan Ruoruo as a hostage!
Based on his understanding of Fan Jian, although Fan Jian did not show his love for his children, that love was deep in his bones!

Fan Xian is also a man who values ​​friendship!

As long as they control Fan Ruoruo, Fan Jian and Fan Xian will never have any inappropriate thoughts!
If the Fan family refuses the marriage and disobeys the imperial order, then he can naturally eliminate most of the Fan family's power and then force Fan Ruoruo to get married!

By then, the Fan family will understand that everything they have was given by him, and if he wants to take it back, it is just a decree!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will deliver the message immediately!"

Ye Zhong let out a long sigh, spoke anxiously, and then stood up and wanted to leave.

But he had just taken two steps when he heard a groan coming from the hall.

The sighing sound was like it was right next to his ear, causing him to stop subconsciously.

"Is the martial arts of Northern Qi really that good? So good that you sent your only daughter to Northern Qi to learn martial arts? Is there no one in Qing who can teach your daughter?"

Emperor Qing's words made Ye Zhong's breathing stagnate. He turned around stiffly to salute, and thought for a long time with his mouth open, but he couldn't think of how to answer.

At this moment, his heart was beating like a drum and his thoughts were extremely confused, but among his confused thoughts, there was no solution that could help him solve the current dilemma!
How could he answer this question?

The answer is yes? The answer is no?

If so, wouldn't that belittle Qing and elevate Northern Qi?

If not, why did Ye Ling'er go to Northern Qi to learn martial arts instead of staying in Qing?
"Forget it, everyone has their own destiny, you can't force it!"

"Go and give the order!"

Ye Zhong didn't hesitate at all after hearing that. He quickly saluted and flew downwards.
