The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Yu Hai gritted his teeth and said:

"Well, you two actually sneaked into Fengcheng disguised as merchants!"

Hua Wu Ke was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and said directly:

"Where is the list of soldiers?"

All military camps have a roster of soldiers, and even private soldiers are no exception.

Yu Hai thought that these two people just sneaked into Fengcheng to seek revenge on him because of some grudges with him, but he didn't expect that they knew about the private soldiers. He thought for a moment and replied:

"Please put the dagger away. I will get you some military books now."

Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke looked at each other, pretending not to understand Yu Hai's tricks, and released the sharp dagger from his neck.

Yu Hai stood up and took a few tentative steps. Out of the corner of his eye he saw that Ye Buhuo behind him did not threaten him with the dagger. He had an idea and stood up and ran, shouting loudly as he ran.

"Someone come! Someone broke in..."

He ran towards the door, and before he could finish his words, the door in front of him was slammed open.

The person who broke the door open was a man who was kicked in. The man rolled on the ground holding his stomach and screaming in pain. Yu Hai looked closely and found that it was one of the generals who had just left the room.

"You, how did you..."

Yu Hai looked at him in shock, not knowing what had happened.

The man on the ground answered with a voice hoarse from pain:

"City Lord...someone has attacked Fengcheng..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hai looked up and saw a man and a woman with a group of people wearing the same black clothes surrounding the entire house. The soldiers hiding in Fengcheng were either killed or surrendered, and they were completely unable to fight back.

A group of people who were ready to go surrounded outside with a fierce look in their eyes, forcing Yu Hai to subconsciously retreat into the house.

After taking a few steps back, he turned his head and looked into the room, and saw Hua Wu Ke sitting in the seat that originally belonged to him, his head supported by his hands, looking at him with a smile. Ye Buhuo put one hand on the back of the chair behind Hua Wu Ke, his eyes fixed on him coldly.

Hua Wu Ke pointed at the chair beside him with his chin and said:

"City Lord Yu, sit down."

Yu Hai subconsciously walked over, and after he sat down he realized that he had actually obeyed his words. His face turned pale and blue. He was still in Fengcheng, but he, the city lord, was no different from a prisoner.

"Who are you? Why are you against Fengcheng?"

Hua Wu Ke curled his lips and smiled:

"City Lord Yu, you really misunderstood. This princess is not your enemy, but Ye Chuji's enemy."

There aren't many princesses in the Ye Kingdom, and the only one who is hostile to Ye Buhuo is...

Yu Hai's pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked at the two people in shock, and asked in disbelief:

"Prince An? Princess An?"

Unexpectedly, the people who came were them. Yu Hai knew that Ye Chuji's raising of private soldiers must have been discovered by these two people.

Fengcheng was located in a remote area, there were not many crops worth producing in the city, and the people in the entire city lived in poverty.

When Ye Chuji sent people to find him, he gritted his teeth and agreed to such a rebellious thing in order to find a way out for himself and the people in the city.

Unexpectedly, Ye Buhuo discovered this.

"What do you want?"

Hua Wu Ke raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Buhuo. Is he giving up resistance so easily?

Ye Buhuo and she smiled at each other, and felt relieved. Without Ye Chuji, there would be no one targeting the Xuantie Army and the Hua Family Army day and night.

Ye Buhuo's thoughts on the sea route:

"It's very simple. City Lord Yu only needs to come forward and identify Ye Chuji. I will do my best to protect the lives of the City Lord and all the people in Fengcheng."

Behind the two people in front of him are the Xuantie Army and the Hua Family Army. There is no other way out except to cooperate with them.

Yu Hai nodded without further hesitation, "As the prince and princess command."

They took Yu Hai and several generals with them and headed back to Beijing. As soon as they arrived, they went straight to the palace.

"Weren't you two out sightseeing? How did something happen on the way? As soon as you came back, you hurried to the palace."

The fact that the Queen committed suicide in front of him dealt a heavy blow to Ye Lanfeng. He has only just recovered from his shock, and he still looks a little exhausted.

"Your Majesty, I and your brother passed by Fengcheng and found something strange here. We concealed our identities and went into the city to investigate. We indeed found something strange."

"Today, I have brought Fengcheng City Lord Yu Hai and several important suspects to report to the emperor."

After listening to Ye Buhuo's words, Ye Lanfeng felt his heart pounding and a bad premonition arose.

"What's wrong?"

"I have discovered that someone is raising private soldiers in Fengcheng."

Ye Lanfeng frowned and asked:

"Is this true?"

"Your Majesty, you can summon Yu Hai and others to come in and ask them questions."

Ye Lanfeng ordered Yu Hai and others to be brought up, and asked in a deep voice:

"You raise private soldiers?"

Yu Hai knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and answered tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, I was coerced and bribed by the Crown Prince to do such a treasonous thing. Please spare my life!"

After these words were spoken, it took Ye Lanfeng a while to react to what Yu Hai said. He picked up the inkstone beside him and threw it out, smashing it hard not far from Yu Hai, shaking him so much that his body shook uncontrollably.

"You dare to slander the prince? I think you are tired of living!"

Yu Hai quickly continued:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince told me about this personally, and I have also written to Your Highness the Crown Prince several times to report this matter."

"Your Majesty, please understand!"

Ye Lanfeng looked deeply at Yu Hai, then looked at Ye Buhuo, and then ordered:

"Let the prince come to see me."

About a cup of tea later, Ye Chuji walked in calmly. Without looking around, he walked past Yu Hai and went straight forward to salute Ye Lanfeng.

Then he called Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke considerately, "Uncle Emperor, Princess An," as if he had nothing to do with the people on the ground.

Seeing that he was not panicked at all after seeing Yu Hai, Hua Wu Ke was paused and felt that Ye Chuji's reaction was really abnormal. How could anyone remain so calm after seeing the truth exposed?

Ye Lanfeng asked Yu Hai to raise his head, then looked at Ye Chuji and asked:

"Does the prince know this person?"

Ye Chuji looked at Yu Hai who was kneeling on the ground for a few seconds, frowned and thought for a moment, then replied:

"Your Majesty, I don't know this person."

When Ye Lanfeng heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Even if he was dissatisfied with Ye Chuji's performance as the crown prince, he didn't want him to do something rebellious like raising private soldiers.

Hearing Ye Chuji deny his relationship with him, Yu Hai couldn't remain calm anymore and immediately said anxiously:

"Your Highness, it's me! I'm Yu Hai! For so many years, I have been raising private soldiers for you in Fengcheng. How could you not recognize me?"
