The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows and thought. The emperor is old now. Although he is not in good health, he has never been in such a bad condition. At present, the emperor not only suddenly felt unwell and fainted for a long time, but also woke up only under the full treatment of the imperial doctors. It seems that the emperor's condition is not very good...

The emperor would always get nervous if there was any news about him. Ye Xiaohan had a flexible information network, so he could naturally know some of the news.

However, this was the first time that the emperor's health condition was so critical that the entire Imperial Hospital had to stay on guard all night.

Ye Xiaohan pondered in his heart - could it be that during the two years when he was on the expedition to the Western Barbarians, the emperor's health condition had become very bad?

It was so bad that the emperor tried his best to hide the news of his illness, and even the people in the Night Palace could not easily detect that something was wrong with the emperor...

At this time, Wei Bai and Du Ziheng, who had also received the news from the palace, came over. They had the same thoughts and doubts as the Night King.

"Your Highness, could it be that the Emperor is pretending to be sick?" Du Ziheng asked uncertainly.

"No." Ye Xiaohan shook his head slightly, "There is no need for him to do that."

The reputation of the emperor's faction has deteriorated recently due to his suppression.

In the past, the emperor had lost the support of the people and caused dissatisfaction among the generals and ministers. At that time, the emperor would use the self-torture strategy and pretend to be sick because of overwork for state affairs. Once the emperor showed his difficult situation, others would not say anything in private, and in this way, the emperor could also save a little reputation.

Ye Xiaohan didn't think that at this critical juncture when so many major events were happening, the emperor would feign illness for the sake of his ruined reputation.

Ye Xiaohan continued to say to Du Ziheng: "What's more, the emperor deliberately concealed the illness, which shows that he has no intention of using the self-torture tactic."

"I understand." Du Ziheng understood completely and said, "If the emperor wanted to use his illness to gain the people's concern and sympathy, he would definitely not hide the news of his illness, but would spread it widely."

Ye Xiaohan said "hmm". Wei Bai, as Ye Xiaohan's confidant, slowly said a key sentence: "According to the prince's analysis, the emperor's illness is not simple."

He went on to say: "I'm afraid this disease has such a great impact that the emperor doesn't dare to speak out?"

"Maybe it's a hidden illness..." Ye Xiaohan said in a cold voice.

The Queen Mother had always been in poor health and suffered from many illnesses when she was young. When she gave birth to her first child, Ye Yihao, she almost died during childbirth.

Even though Ye Yihao had many imperial doctors to look after him and had access to the finest medicines, his body was still somewhat weaker than that of an ordinary person.

The Queen Mother later gave birth to her second child, Ye Haolian, the current emperor. The birth process was not smooth either, and both mother and child almost died. Ye Haolian was also very weak when he was young.

The simple words spoken by Ye Xiaohan at this time revealed a huge amount of information, guiding Wei Bai and Du Ziheng to think in the right direction.

Although the emperor's intervention was involved in Ye Yihao's death due to illness, one thing was unavoidable, that is - Ye Yihao was born weak and sickly.

According to the medical knowledge that Yun Mujiu usually taught to the people in the Ye Palace, it can be understood that the two brothers Ye Yihao and Ye Haolian both inherited genes for some diseases from the Queen Mother.

These diseased genes, which have already become diseased or are still in a latent state, are lurking in the human body like piles of firewood. That is, at some point, a cluster of flames lurking under the pile of firewood will completely ignite the pile of firewood.

Wei Bai and Du Ziheng quickly understood Ye Xiaohan's analysis, and their faces became a little grim. To a certain extent, the life and death of Emperor Haolian would still have an impact on those of the Yewang faction.

To be honest, if possible, they really wished the emperor would die immediately, because the emperor was not a benevolent monarch and was always thinking about taking the life of their prince.

They wished the emperor would die immediately, but they couldn't let him die right away.

Because the prince still had to prepare to go to the battlefield to maintain the stability of Zhongyue, the situation in the court had to be temporarily managed by someone, and the emperor was the right person to maintain the stability of the rear. Even if the emperor was not very good at being the emperor, it was still acceptable to have someone to stabilize the people's hearts.

The prince can choose someone else to take the throne, but it may be somewhat troublesome. Right now, the prince has other things to focus on, so it is okay for Emperor Haolian to continue to sit on Zhongyue's throne for a while.

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyes and took a look. The messenger guard who was being stared at by him couldn't help but shudder.

Ye Xiaohan ordered: "Continue to track the information in the palace."

"Also, send some people to inquire with the Imperial Hospital to find out the specific physical condition of the emperor, whether the emperor is ill, and what hidden disease he suffers from."

Ye Xiaohan's morning meeting with his subordinates ended quickly. The matter in the palace was resolved, and then they discussed the matter of the imperial spies...

At this time, the sun rose outside the window. The strong sunlight caused the surface temperature to continue to rise, and the frosty cool air in the morning began to gradually fade away.

The door of the study was closed, and the other windows were half open, allowing the strong light from outside to shine on the many furnishings in the room.

Even so, the room with the Night King still seemed eerily chilly.

Ye Xiaohan suddenly spoke up and asked a servant, "Has the princess woken up?"

The servant's face tensed up, and he quickly replied, "Your Highness, when I came here just now, I heard that the princess was busy in the medicine room, and she also told the people in the Qi Chi Courtyard not to disturb her unless they had something else to do."

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly, said nothing, and waved his hand to let the servant leave.

Wei Bai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, once the princess enters the medicine room, it is not easy for others to disturb her. Let's have a meeting first."

Ye Xiaohan didn't say anything. He tapped the table with his slender fingers, and a personal guard came forward.

The guard half bent over and presented a small rolled-up piece of paper with both hands.

This is Ying Yi’s carrier pigeon message.

Ye Xiaohan opened the note and read through it. He also learned that Yingyi and his team were about to take Wanyan Sen back to the capital. Wanyan Sen's injury was not very good, so it delayed Yingyi and his team's journey. However, Yingyi said that Prince Sen was thick-skinned enough, and even if the prince whipped Prince Sen a few more times that day, Prince Sen would not die.

Ye Xiaohan waved his hand and quickly wrote another note as a reply. He told Yingyi and the others to settle Wan Yansen near the capital immediately, because many people were watching Wan Yansen's whereabouts and many wanted to snatch Wan Yansen from him.

Of course, some people want to use Wanyan Sen as a bargaining chip to extract benefits from Youming Jiuchong or other people who want Wanyan Sen. Some people really want to save Wanyan Sen so as to make friends with Wanyan Sen and the Nantai royal family.

He asked someone to bring Wan Yansen back, but he would not let Wan Yansen enter the Night Palace. Wan Yansen could only stay somewhere else outside the Night Palace...

At the same time, Ye Xiaohan also knew that the emperor was extremely anxious and specially sent a small group of dragon staff guards to search for the whereabouts of Youming Jiuchong. Firstly, the emperor wanted to teach Youming Jiuchong a lesson for the sake of the royal family's face. Secondly, he also wanted to snatch the sixth prince of Nantai back from Youming Jiuchong.

Ye Xiaohan's eyes were cold, as if they were ice, with no other emotions revealed.

He instructed a Frost Shadow Guard: "Let the people in the Nether Palace release the information about the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld, and disrupt all the investigation routes of the Dragon Staff Guards in searching the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld."

The emperor wants to take revenge on Netherworld Nine, but this is impossible...
