The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Ye Lanfeng waved his hands tiredly and said:

"Everyone, go down. I want to be alone."

Ye Jinan had been waiting for Ye Chuji to be crippled. After finally catching him for such a serious crime, how could he be allowed to get away with it so easily?

"Father, the Crown Prince must be involved in this matter! We can't let this go so easily!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Buhuo glanced at Ye Jinan. He had thought that if Ye Chuji was deposed, it would be a good idea to let Ye Jinan take that position. He didn't expect that he was actually a fool. How could he take on such an important responsibility if he was so ignorant?

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Jinan finished speaking, Prime Minister Shen took over the conversation.

"Your Highness, what does this mean? Are you trying to force the prince to confess his guilt by holding his head down?"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Queen is doing this for..."

"enough!"

It was Shen Yuehua who caused Ye Lanfeng's guilt with her own death. Now, Ye Lanfeng will definitely not punish Ye Chuji. On the contrary, he will protect him.

Ye Lanfeng interrupted Ye Jinan, looked at him unhappily, and said:

"I will make the decision on this matter myself, there is no need for you to say more!"

Ye Chuji hugged Shen Yuehua, feeling truly grief-stricken, and didn't care at all what Ye Jinan said.

Seeing this, Ye Lanfeng felt even more compassionate and ordered:

"Someone, help the prince back to the East Palace and serve him well!"

It was already late at night when Ye Buhuo returned to the palace. He walked outside and found that the light was still on inside.

When I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw Hua Wu Ke sitting on the bed with his back against the headboard, his eyes closed and his head nodding, obviously very sleepy.

Ye Buhuo walked over lightly, let her lean on his arms, took out the soft pillow behind her, and helped her lie back on the bed.

As soon as Hua Wu Ke lay down, he opened his eyes in a daze.

Ye Buhuo was still supporting her as she bent over, but Hua Wuke stretched out his hands and put them around his neck.

My voice is still a little hoarse after waking up:

"It doesn't involve you, does it?"

"No."

Ye Buhuo was still waiting for Hua Wuke to ask the next question, asking what to do with Ye Chuji, but after hearing this, Hua Wuke fell asleep peacefully.

I thought she waited until so late because she wanted to know what happened in Dongshantou, but I didn't expect that just to confirm his safety, Ye Buhuo curled the corners of his mouth and rubbed it against Hua Wuke's smooth forehead again and again.

On the day when Hua Wu Ke was coming back, the two of them had breakfast and went to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

As soon as Hua Wu Ke saw Hua Zhu Kong, he hugged his arm and acted coquettishly:

"Grandpa, I miss you so much!"

Hua Zhukong patted her head and joked, "How come you are still so childish now that you are Princess An?"

Hua Wu Ke replied as a matter of course: "In front of grandfather, Sui Sui is of course a child!"

Yesterday, when Ye Lanfeng asked them to leave, Ye Buhuo stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, regarding the shortage of weapons at the North Desert Pass, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Ye Chuji had just openly told the truth about their lack of weapons in order to escape punishment, and it was difficult for Ye Lanfeng to shirk responsibility now.

After all, it was for the sake of Ye Country. Thinking this way, Ye Lanfeng agreed:

"You can do with the mine map you handed in."

After chatting about family matters with Hua Wuke and Hua Zhukong for a while, Ye Buhuo went to arrange the mining matters with Hua Rongyu and his son.

After staying in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion for one night, the two of them set off to return to the palace the next day.

As soon as I returned to the palace, I received news from the palace:

The matter of the private mine was suppressed by Ye Lanfeng. The palace only said that the Queen had passed away, and the funeral was held with the Queen's ceremony soon.

The envoys from the Northern Kingdom will leave the capital in the next few days. As a princess married to a foreign prince, Jialan will naturally leave with the envoys.

However, after Shen Yuehua passed away, although Jialan had many complaints about Shen Yuehua marrying her to the Northern Kingdom as a concubine, she still remembered her mother's love for her and wanted to observe mourning for her.

"My mother knows what my sister means. There is no need to observe mourning. Leave with the Northern Kingdom envoy as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, Ye Chuji would not even agree to this matter, but Jia Lan was not here to seek his consent.

"It is my own decision to mourn for my mother, and I do not need the Crown Prince's consent."

Ye Chuji sneered at her and then instructed her guards:

"My sister is in a bad mood because of the death of our mother. You should serve her well these few days and do not delay her wedding."

"Yes."

Jia Lan looked at Ling Xiao, the leader of the guards who answered him, in disbelief, then looked at Ye Buhuo and asked in disbelief:

"You place your people around me?"

Ye Chuji: "My mother and I are also worried about my sister. With my people guarding my sister, everyone can rest assured."

So the Queen Mother also knew about this... Jia Lan staggered and almost fell, luckily Ling Xiao behind her helped her avoid falling to the ground. She struggled to break free from Ling Xiao's hand viciously.

"Get out of here, don't touch me!"

After venting her anger on Ling Xiao, Jia Lan turned her head and looked at Ye Chuji and murmured:

"What am I in your and my mother's eyes?"

Ye Chuji looked at her sad face with cold eyes and said indifferently:

"As long as my sister is at ease getting married and can win support from the Northern Kingdom for me, I will naturally be grateful to her and help her ascend to the throne of the Northern Kingdom."

So if I am of no use to you, then I am not your sister, not your mother's daughter, right?

Jia Lan looked at his expressionless face and finally did not ask the question.

"I know it."

After saying this, Jia Lan left without looking back.

After returning to the princess's mansion, Jia Lan found that she was being watched closely.

What he said about serving her well was just to keep an eye on her and make sure she married to the North.

Her mother and her younger brothers viewed her as a tool to gain power. Their original love and affection for her were just sugar coating on poison. Even Ling Xiao, the person she trusted the most, was Ye Chuji's man.

Jia Lan felt very sad when she saw the person standing guard outside the door.

"Princess, please have a meal. You haven't eaten anything since you came back from the palace last night. I'm so worried about you."

Wan He tried to comfort Jia Lan worriedly, hoping that she could eat something, but this only made Jia Lan even more upset.

"Alright, I have no appetite, everyone leave."

Wan He had no choice but to take the plate and walked out. Ling Xiao saw it and left the house soon after.

There is a wonton shop three streets away from the Princess Mansion. The shop is not big but there is always a constant stream of customers, which shows how delicious the wontons are.

Three streets are not close, and the wontons are fragile after being soaked in the soup for too long. In order to let Jialan eat the whole wontons, Ling Xiao rode as fast as he could and carefully placed the wontons on his chest, holding them carefully with one hand.
