The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu began to think about what reward he should ask Ye Xiaohan for. Wei Bai took over the report from Suixi and Fuso and continued speaking with a smile.

The case of Xu Houshan also involved several other cases of officials committing crimes in the court.

The emperor saw some of his subordinates being dismissed, imprisoned, or demoted. Only then did he realize that Ye Xiaohan had been on guard against him? Was Ye Xiaohan just waiting for his men to make a move, and then taking the opportunity to strike them down?

What the emperor didn't know was that when he was planning to take action against Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu some time ago, Ye Xiaohan had already made relevant arrangements when he quietly left the capital. Ye Xiaohan would not let Yun Mujiu suffer any injustice, nor would he let Xu Houshan and others keep jumping around, and would not damage the couple's reputation and image in Zhongyue as the emperor wished.

On the other hand, the emperor could no longer allow people to spread bad rumors about the Night King and his wife, because the Xu Houshan incident showed the innocence and justice of the Night King's Mansion. The emperor and his people's reputation gradually declined in the hearts of the people who were just watching the show. In this way, the dirty water that the emperor and his people wanted to throw away ended up pouring on their own heads.

And this is exactly within Ye Xiaohan's plan.

At that time, Ye Xiaohan, after a night of traveling, also heard people's discussions about the hot events in the capital during his short rest time.

The capital is the center of public opinion in Zhongyue. Generally speaking, any important news will spread quickly around the capital and continue to spread to more distant places.

Ever since the day Xu Houshan was sent to prison by Yun Mujiu, news about the situation in the capital's court had spread like a sudden gust of wind, blowing out from the center of the capital in gusts. Wherever it went, everyone knew about the tense situation in the capital.

Ye Xiaohan did not seem surprised by these results. With the resignation of Xu Houshan and other officials, the emperor's prestige among the people declined.

Ha...it would be best if when he goes back to see Yun Mujiu, Yun Mujiu has not suffered any injustice or harm because of those people of the emperor, otherwise he will have to kill more of those useless officials!

...

In Qichiyuan, Yun Mujiu listened to what Wei Bai said, and then said to everyone: "Xu Houshan's case has basically come to an end. The next step is to wait for him to be exiled."

Suixi thought of the servant from Xu's mansion who wanted to beat up Shopkeeper Wang that day, and asked, "Princess, that skinny servant shouldn't be absent by accident, right?"

"Hmm." Yun Mujiu thought for a moment and replied, "That skinny boy was someone the emperor had planted next to Xu Houshan. Xu Houshan has been imprisoned and the emperor didn't have a suitable opportunity to deal with him. But that skinny boy received relatively little attention, so it's normal for the emperor to choose to destroy him in prison in order to silence him."

Anyway, that skinny servant deserves to die, so it’s also a good idea to let the emperor’s men kill each other.

Du Ziheng nodded. He did not show up at the Herb Hall that day, and he did not know what kind of poison Xu Houshan was poisoned with. However, the poison that the emperor had ordered must not be a simple poison.

Du Ziheng asked Yun Mujiu: "Princess, what kind of poison is in Xu Houshan?"

Yun Mujiu recalled, "It is a poison made from powder made from poisonous insects. It is colorless and tasteless. It is very toxic, but the poison will not take effect that quickly."

Yun Mujiu continued, "Xu Houshan also ate the powder without knowing it, and the poison only started to take effect when he arrived at the Herb Hall."

This is exactly what the emperor was thinking. The emperor did not let Xu Houshan know that he was really poisoned. Instead, he chose to keep Xu Houshan in the dark and then directly eliminate this chess piece in order to completely discredit the reputation of Herb Hall and Night Palace.

Yun Mujiu searched for another memory and added: "Last time, the emperor's people poisoned the water source for the people in the slums, and those toxins were also related to poisons." The people were poisoned by drinking the poisonous water, and in the end they were instigated by the emperor's people to seek revenge on her, the "witch".

Du Ziheng understood the emperor's intention and praised him with a smile.

"The princess's medical skills are superb, which is why Xu Houshan was lucky enough to save his life. However, I don't think the emperor's people will let him live any longer."

Yun Mujiu confirmed this guess. "It's hard to take action against the emperor's men now, but there will be more opportunities to take action when they are in exile."

"So what should I do to deal with it?"

"No need. Xu Houshan will no longer pose a threat to us. If something happened during his exile, it was the result he deserved."

The emperor has a strong foundation, has been on the throne for many years, and has enormous power, so he is naturally very cautious in doing things. So if he wants to do something secret, he will not easily leave a handle that can be used to catch him.

Even if others sometimes associate him with the crime, or find some clues related to him, due to his power, no one would say anything about him openly. Moreover, even if all the evidence of the crime points to the emperor's involvement, the emperor can push other subordinates to take the blame.

But this does not mean that the people in the Night Palace are afraid of this. After all, Haolian is the emperor of a country, and he did not leave any evidence of his involvement in the matter, so for now, the result of dealing with Xu Houshan and his group is already the best result.

And in fact, the people in the Night Palace did not let the emperor take advantage!

Ye Xiaohan had made some arrangements early on. As soon as the emperor wanted to cause trouble, Ye Xiaohan's subordinates acted according to his orders, and each of them dealt with the emperor and others according to Ye Wang's plan.

Rather than saying that the emperor's plan to harm Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu failed, it would be better to say that the emperor fell into a trap that Ye Xiaohan had woven long ago because of his dark thoughts!

Now, those who tried to slander Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan were arrested and imprisoned, and received corresponding punishments. Other officials and restless people among the people who were ready to make a move were also suppressed by the subordinates of the Night King faction and his many followers.

At present, Emperor Haolian, who has always shown the image of a benevolent monarch, is criticized by the people of Zhongyue. This is because under the guidance of Prince Ye's Mansion, everyone also thinks that he is the biggest mastermind of the crimes committed by Xu Houshan and others.

Whether it was the conspiracy against Yun Mujiu and Ye Wang, or the crimes committed by those officials during their tenure, these private and public affairs were all related to the emperor...

The emperor's prestige dropped significantly, and it even caused a storm of discussion among the people...
