My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Sensing these emotions keenly, Ye Xingxin pursed her lips and asked with some distress: "If I remember correctly, the eldest prince is your brother-in-law, right? Doesn't he care about you at all?"

Li Aotian sneered. Even the princess he married didn't care about him, let alone his own uncle.

Ye Shengxin understood.

Later, when she saw Dong Lihuang, who had time to see her, she heard from him how her fellow countryman had suffered over the years at the hands of the Dongli Kingdom's eldest prince and his sister, and she couldn't stop her anger.

Dong Lihuang observed that Ye Xingxin's anger was ignited and continued to add fuel to the fire:

"If such a person becomes the emperor of Dongli someday, the people of Dongli will be as worthless as dogs in his hands. The court officials who rely on him will become more harsh on the people and deprive them of their power. By then, half of the people in Dongli will be buried with this stupid emperor."

When Ye Shengxin thought of that scene, everything went dark before his eyes.

For someone like her who grew up under the red flag, especially someone who is well-versed in history, meeting such a future tyrant, and having severely offended her fellow villagers and her future tyrant, she almost had a heart attack.

Her face darkened, and she complained in dissatisfaction: "For a tyrant like him, why didn't God do justice and let an accident take him away?"

Dong Lihuang's eyes sparkled brighter than ever before, and he almost stood up: "Does Lord Ye really think so?"

Ye Xingxin realized that he had said something wrong and quickly covered his mouth. "No, no, no, your country's eldest prince is of noble status, how could he die? Your Highness heard it wrong. I didn't say anything just now."

Dong Lihuang waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, my lord. If this intention is fulfilled, I will reward you handsomely."

After four times of experience, Dong Lihuang had a better idea of ​​Ye Shengxin's bad mouth.

Because of a single sentence, Ye Shengxin actually received Dong Lihuang's polite hospitality. She found it unbelievable. When she came out of Sifang Pavilion with several valuable gifts, she was still a little dizzy.

"Aotian, do you think the prince gave me these to bribe me to do something, or to frame me..."

"No," Li Aotian interrupted her in time to prevent Ye Shengxin from saying anything that would be detrimental to her.

Guessing Dong Lihuang's thoughts, he explained seriously: "These gifts are priceless, save your trouble and keep them, he owes you."

Ye Xingxin bit her lip and guessed, "Is he apologizing to me?"

Li Aotian's voice was a little difficult: "I guess so."

"I didn't expect that the apology from the royal family of Dongli Kingdom would be so sincere." Ye Shengxin glanced at the gifts. There were four pieces in total. One of them was made of top-quality jadeite. The jade Buddha, which was the size of a head, was worth 50,000 taels.

Now Ye Shengxin is holding something worth at least two hundred thousand taels of silver.

She was a little panicked.

Li Aotian chuckled: "For you, it's worth this sincerity."

-

When Ye Xingxin came to Sifang Pavilion again, he came with Crown Prince Xuanyuan Fu and the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

During the morning court session, a palace servant suddenly came to report that the Dongli envoy had been assassinated in the Sifang Pavilion, and Prince Consort Li had fallen from the roof and was unconscious. Everyone was stunned.

Then they were horrified and lifted their robes and ran towards Sifang Pavilion.

Ye Shengxin was worried about Li Aotian, and came here in a restless mood. He saw Rong Anle, with his wound bandaged, standing at the gate waiting for them.

"General Changning, is Prince Dongli safe and sound now?" Xuanyuan Fu exempted Rong Anle from the salute and asked worriedly, his furrowed brows could pinch a fly to death.

Rong Anle glanced at Ye Xingxin who was looking at her eagerly, and lowered her head in shame: "Your Highness, Crown Prince Dongli is fine, he just got a little frightened."

"Prince Li was held hostage by the thieves. I made a mistake in rescuing him, and the thieves threw him away, causing him to fall to the ground. The imperial physician said that Prince Li is in critical condition, and I'm afraid..."

At this point, Rong Anle knelt down and apologized, "I failed to protect Prince Consort Li, please punish me, Your Highness."

This matter had been expected, so the prince was not too worried. The plan that the ministers had made for Prince Consort Li was of no use, and he was just stunned when he heard the news.

Knowing full well that Prince Consort Li would go back for this reason, everyone secretly glanced at Ye Shengxin's expression.

Master Tongshan reminded him that since Li Aotian fell from the roof, even if he was seriously ill, Ye Shengxin's worry was mixed with envy and unexpected loss.

She finally met her fellow villager, but after only a few days of spending time together, he had to go back, leaving her alone here.

Ye Shengxin blinked, sighed secretly, and when he raised his eyelids again, he was caught off guard by multiple gazes and was startled.

[Why are these people looking at me? I am not the thief behind the scenes. Do you think I can catch the thief? ]

[No, I am the Jingzhao Yin, and also the main host. It is very likely that the task of catching the thief will fall on my head. How unlucky.]

[Who is this blind person who came here to assassinate others and add to their workload? Aren't you afraid that you will be struck by lightning one day? ]

Ye Shengxin had a stern face and looked back calmly, but his mind was filled with a lot of drama.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present's eyes lit up and searched everywhere, and many of them moved their eyes up and down, with anticipation almost overflowing on their faces.

[System, at such a heavy moment, did these ministers have eye cramps? Why are they so restless? ]

System: [It's okay, host. It's just thundering. Don't worry about it.]

what?

Ye Shengxin subconsciously looked up and saw a flash of lightning flying by. After the strong light, several bolts of lightning fell from the sky and struck various places in the capital. The scene was quite spectacular for a moment.

Ye Xingxin opened his mouth wide: [No, a few thunderbolts falling in broad daylight, isn't it... a little unreasonable. ]

The system kindly reminded her: [Host, Prince Consort Li doesn't have much time left, are you sure you don't want to go and see him. ]

This one sentence brought everyone back to their senses.

Ye Shengxin followed Xuanyuan Fu, who had forgiven Rong Anle, into the Sifang Pavilion. After meeting and greeting Dong Lihuang, Ye Shengxin could no longer stay.

He hurried to Li Aotian's room next door.
