The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Zhongyue is the pillar of the four countries on Xingyue Continent. With it as the backbone, the big trunk, and the fixed star, plus the unity and harmony that the four countries intentionally create on the surface, the Dongyang Empire will not send troops to attack Zhongyue immediately. After all, Zhongyue, Beihan, Xiyi, and Nantai are still in a harmonious state on the surface.

You can’t hit him! You can’t hit him!

The four countries are not at war with each other. If you, the big brother, suddenly attack one of the younger brothers, won’t the other three younger brothers be scared and fight back to the death?

Even if they are just fighting each other, if the powerful country like the Oriental Empire really wants to swallow them up, they will unite to fight against the Oriental Empire in order to survive.

Therefore, after a reasonable and comprehensive analysis, His Royal Highness Ye Wang was certain that the Dongyang Empire would not dare to directly launch a war against Zhongyue at the moment. Even if the Dongyang Empire wanted to annex Zhongyue, at least it would not take major actions so soon, and it would not happen in the next few months.

Today's Zhongyue is recuperating and can be described as a sleeping lion.

The regent of Zhongyue, His Royal Highness the Night King, is the dozing golden dragon with two wings. If anyone attacks, they will certainly have to endure the fatal damage brought by the golden dragon's awakening and strong pressure!

...

At that time, it was a hot summer day. In the northeast and northwest of the capital, an army was heading to the east and west borders of Zhongyue.

In the northern part of the capital, there was another large group heading north. This group set out from the capital, and their destination was the coldest part of Zhongyue in the northernmost part. By the time they got there, I'm afraid the winter would be halfway over.

The journey was long and the team moved slowly. It would definitely take until the end of summer, the entire autumn, and then winter to reach the place of exile.

This group was a team of yamen runners escorting exiled prisoners. They were exhausted from the long journey, and the environment was harsh. Many prisoners died on the road before they reached their exile destination.

Among the exiles, most were officials whose crimes were exposed in the capital over the past half month. Chief among them was Xu Houshan, the former Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and his family. Others were Xu Houshan’s colleagues and subordinates and their families.

Almost all of these exiled officials were under the Emperor's name. Because they had committed too many crimes, they were exposed and reported by the Night Palace both openly and secretly. Combined with the evidence of the court officials' crimes that someone in the capital secretly spread throughout the city with letters a few months ago, in the end they ended up with a deserved end.

This was the Night King's initial strategy to suppress guilty officials. It not only cleared out and suppressed the emperor's power, but also served as a warning to others, helping and maintaining Zhongyue's prosperous scene of peace and prosperity.

On the outskirts of the small town, on the side of an official road, a group of yamen runners announced that they would rest on the spot. Then they counted the number of people to see how many prisoners were left alive in the less than half a month since they set out from the capital.

Although it is summer now, the season of exile, which means prisoners won't freeze to death as easily as in winter, it can still be very hot.

There is no trace of Xu Houshan and his cronies in the team now...

...

At this moment, the study in the Ye Palace was quiet for a while. In the past few days, housekeeper Zeng had taken people to catch cicadas in the palace, and the noisy sound of cicadas in summer was no longer in the ears. The chirping sound of cicadas disappeared, and what was left was naturally a peaceful place.

Ye Xiaohan was sipping tea calmly, Yun Mujiu was holding the cup in deep thought, and the others also looked thoughtful.

In short, now under the leadership of the Night King, the people of the Night King's faction are developing step by step in a good direction, and those who try to murder them will end up in vain.

Ye Xiaohan withdrew his thoughts and no longer spoke another cold and calm word to his subordinates.

People all heard that Prince Zhongyue Ye had a cold temper and didn't like to talk much. Even the people in Prince Ye's mansion knew that the legend was true. The prince usually spoke briefly during discussions, instead of elaborating on every word, and his attitude was gentle.

But after the princess appeared, the prince became less cold. But the prince also treated the princess in a special way. To other people, he still retained his usual cold and arrogant aura.

Yun Mujiu had a deeper understanding of her husband's ability during the discussion just now. Sometimes Ye Xiaohan only said a few words briefly, but it could make people feel enlightened and instantly understand many key points.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Ye Xiaohan is a rare strong man in the world. In business, he led his subordinates to build countless industries and support many people. In the army, the reputation of the God of War spread throughout the continent. In politics, as the regent, he did a lot and won the hearts of the people.

As Yun Mujiu was thinking about it, he subconsciously looked at Ye Xiaohan.

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked silently what was wrong?

Yun Mujiu shook her head slightly, lowered her head, and sipped her tea. She pretended to be fine, but she didn't know that her eyes full of emotions had already exposed her inner feelings.

Ye Xiaohan raised his lips slightly, and a faint smile flashed across his eyes. It seemed that his Mu Jiu was still somewhat satisfied with him.

Ye Xiaohan did not ask other subordinates to report, but looked at Yun Mujiu. It was rare for him to inform everyone of the matters in detail.

As they had initially expected, the emperor did not dare to have people attack Xu Houshan and his group in the prison, but chose to quietly use various means to clean up his fallen and useless subordinates during the exile. Of course, the emperor did not dare to do it too obviously, and would not clean up all the exiled prisoners, but instead focused on some of the people he had used.

Xu Houshan, who had already gone mad in the capital prison, did not die in the cell, nor did he die in the harsh environment on the road of exile. Instead, he died at the hands of the master he had always been loyal to, the emperor.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu were not at all surprised by the emperor's cruelty. A man as cruel as the emperor would never change his sinister and dark way of doing things.

At the beginning, the emperor abandoned Yun Xiang, and recently he abandoned Xu Houshan and his group of subordinates. Now, how will those ministers who are intended to be supported by the emperor, as well as other ministers, view the emperor?

Today they are abandoned pawns, so you can imagine what your fate will be in the future?

A new round of fear began to spread in the court. All civil and military officials, whether they were followers of the emperor's faction or not, were worried about their future.

When they looked at the emperor again, these people had already considered and weighed the pros and cons in their hearts, and they all even thought of Zhongyue's most famous prince, the Regent.

The Night King's rebellion has begun to take effect...

At the same time, some states within Zhongyue have already exploded with heavy news related to the Night King...
