The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 501 Ye Wenyan receives the order

The announcement of the decree from heaven made the two princes in the palace's heads buzz, and also made Ye Jingsheng's family's eyes widen.

However, the people in the first house did not react too strongly. They just looked at Ye Wenyan with interest, and there was even a hint of teasing in Mu's eyes.

Ye Chulian clenched her fists. The will of heaven was the will of the Emperor. The Emperor had finally come to support her fourth sister.

Ye Qingmei also breathed a sigh of relief. That man finally agreed to acknowledge her as his sister.

Ye Feiyu frowned, with a hint of reluctance in his emotion, and his memory uncontrollably returned to the second day of the twelfth lunar month. He saw his sister get on a sedan chair once, but she married the wrong person. He didn't know whether it was good or bad this time... Ji Rong and Ji Ma both straightened their backs, and the master came to support them.

Zhuier tugged at Ye Wenyan's sleeve, "Miss, the Emperor has issued a decree from heaven, this is a big deal!"

It’s a big deal indeed!

How many years had it been since the people of Northern Qi had seen the Heavenly Edict? Especially the younger generation, if it weren't for the legends passed down by the older generation, I'm afraid they wouldn't know what the Heavenly Edict represented.

Emperor Shiliyuan is the spiritual belief of people all over the world. People stubbornly believe that as long as the emperor is there, the sky will not fall.

But in fact, the Emperor is just a spiritual belief. He rarely appears in front of people. Even among the royal family, many people have never seen the Emperor in their entire lives.

The last time people saw the Emperor was at the coronation ceremony of the new emperor. But even if the new emperor was crowned, it was not worthy of the Emperor to issue a decree to praise him. Even if he personally appointed this emperor, the Emperor only said it verbally, and still did not issue a decree to make this matter more legitimate.

The emperor had not issued an imperial decree to appoint a new emperor, but why did he issue one today? And it was sent to the mansion of the first-rank general. What was going on? Who was the imperial decree issued to? What did it say?

The two princes looked at each other, and saw shock and fear in each other's eyes.

That's right, it's fear. This is the innate fear that mortals have of immortals. It's the awe that mortal bodies have from the inside out towards those who have undergone marrow cleansing and have immortal bodies.

Soon, another group of people came in from outside the palace gate. The two leading them were Yun Chen, the director of the Imperial Observatory, and Lian Shi, the eunuch in charge of Yanhua Palace. Following behind them were the five officials of the Imperial Observatory in spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as a group of purple-robed palace maids of Yanhua Palace.

The two princes subconsciously made way for them. The imperial guards they brought with them were more than three inches shorter in front of the purple-robed palace people. They retreated one after another and did not even dare to raise their heads. Yun Chen and Lian Shi walked to the middle of the courtyard, stood there, and began to examine everyone in the Ye Mansion. Finally, they finally set their sights on Quan Qingshu and Quan Qingzhao. Then Yun Chen asked, "I wonder what brings you two princes to the First-Rank General's Mansion?"

Before they could answer, Lian Shi asked again, "Why did you bring so many imperial guards? Are the imperial guards in the palace under your control? If I remember correctly, the imperial guards in the palace are all under the command of the emperor himself. When will it be your turn to share the power?"

Lian Shi's words were very impolite, almost slapping the two princes in the face.

Whether it was Quan Qingshu or Quan Qingzhao, they had never been treated like this since they were young. They could not help but clench their fists and hated Lian Shi so much that their teeth itched. They hated him, but they could not do anything to Lian Shi. Just because Lian Shi was wearing a purple palace dress, it represented Yanhua Palace, the highest authority in the world, and was definitely an existence that could not be provoked.

Quan Qingshu took a deep breath, calmed himself as much as possible, and then said: "It is true that the Forbidden Palace is under the direct command of the Emperor, but what the eunuch does not know is that there is a part of the Forbidden Army that does not enter the palace, but only guards the inner city of Lin'an. This part of the Forbidden Army is under the jurisdiction of the King, so the King brought that part of the troops today."

"Oh, so that's it!" Lian Shi nodded, "Okay then, I'll tell the emperor later that the command of the Imperial Guards must be taken back. We can't just move it here and there like the previous emperor did. The Imperial Guards must be under the control of the emperor alone, so that Lin'an can be stable and people with ulterior motives won't have a chance to take advantage of it. After all, people's hearts are hard to predict. Who knows who might suddenly go crazy and mobilize the troops to surround Lin'an City!"

Yun Chen immediately agreed, "Eunuch Lian is right. This supervisor has always had such concerns. Last night, I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about this matter, so I went to the observatory to observe the stars. I saw that there were two noble stars in Lin'an that were showing signs of restlessness. If they were not stopped and suppressed in time, they might threaten the imperial star. So today I planned to go out and take a look according to the star map. I didn't expect it to be true..." As he spoke, he looked at the two princes and smacked his lips and said, "This is a rebellion!" "Lord Yun! Don't talk nonsense!" The eldest prince glared and was angry at the time, "Although you are the supervisor of the Imperial Observatory and are under the jurisdiction of the Yanhua Palace, it is still an office of the court. Don't make trouble for me, otherwise I won't be too polite to you."

"Ouch!" Yun Chen hid behind Lian Shi and sighed repeatedly, "I used to think that the Imperial Observatory was under the jurisdiction of the Yanhua Palace. After all, they are disciples of Lord Emperor. No one in the world would dare to challenge the Imperial Observatory. I didn't expect that the eldest prince is so powerful that he doesn't even take the Yanhua Palace seriously. Eunuch Lian, please protect me, the director of the Observatory, and don't let the eldest prince chop me down."

"You——" Quan Qingshu was so angry that he really wanted to chop Yun Chen, but he didn't dare. Saying a few harsh words to vent his anger was the limit. If he really pissed Yun Chen off, people would file a complaint with Yanhua Palace and he wouldn't even know how he died.

Quan Qingshu stopped talking. Quan Qingzhao watched this scene from the side. The more he watched, the more he felt something was wrong. So he asked as humble as possible: "Just now, there was a report outside that the decree from heaven had arrived. I wonder what this decree is..." "The decree from heaven is not urgent." Lian Shi waved his hand, "Let's deal with the two princes first. I asked a question just now, and you two haven't answered yet!" At this point, he looked at Quan Qingshu and smiled, "By the way, Your Highness is a noble, and I am just a palace slave, a servant. I am not qualified to ask questions to Your Highness. But there is no way! I am a servant of Yanhua Palace. As the saying goes, the third-rank official in front of the prime minister. My master's status is strong, and my status as a servant will naturally rise with it. So today I ask you, no matter how unhappy you are, you have to stand up, otherwise we will go back to Yanhua Palace to complain and see if the emperor is willing to be fair and reasonable, or just overturn your palace without saying a word."

These words slapped Quan Qingshu's face, and it hurt. This was simply a beating on the head! A slave insulted him in front of so many people, and he didn't dare to refute. What kind of thing was this? What was he doing standing here to humiliate himself?

Thinking of this, he decided to leave here first. There was no rush to capture Ye Wenyan, he could come back after Lian Shi left.

As for who the decree was issued to, although he was very curious, he did not want to get involved in this matter anymore. If he said something wrong and was hated by the people of Yanhua Palace, he would have to die here for the rest of his life.

Quan Qingshu turned around and was about to leave, and he even pulled his second brother to help. However, before the two of them could take a step, they were stopped by a group of purple-robed palace people. Lian Shi's voice rose again: "Did our family let you go?"

"What on earth is Lian Gonggong going to do?"

"What for?" Lian Shi was also angry, and his voice instantly increased several times - "I have said it twice, I just want to know why you came to the First-Rank General's Mansion! This is the third time I ask, if you don't tell me again, don't blame me for letting Your Highness see the palace rules of Yanhua Palace today!" He was holding a whisk in his hand, and suddenly shook it casually, and the wind blew.

Quan Qingshu was startled, and only then did he realize that Lian Shi had used his internal force to swing the whisk, creating a gust of wind.

How much internal strength does Lian Shi have? Seeing him in a daze, Quan Qingzhao couldn't hold on any longer and quickly replied, "My brother and I came to the First-rank General's Mansion to arrest the murderer who killed the eldest princess, who is Miss Ye Si of the First-rank General's Mansion."

"What?" Yun Chen stood back from behind Lian Shi again, "Arresting Fourth Miss Ye?" At this point, he suddenly laughed, and his stomach hurt. He looked at the Second Prince as if he was looking at a fool, and even pulled Lian Shi's sleeve and said, "Listen, listen, they said they want to arrest Fourth Miss Ye, this world is too crazy!"

Your Highnesses, don’t you understand? Arresting Ye Wenyan means the world is crazy? What does this have to do with whether the world is crazy or not?

Quan Qingshu could no longer hold back his curiosity, so he asked, "Then why did Lord Yun and Eunuch Lian come to the First-Rank General's Mansion? Who was the decree issued by Heaven for?"

Lian Shi cleared his throat, "What a coincidence, it was also ordered for Miss Ye Si!"

When these words came out, not only the two princes were stunned, but also Ye Jingsheng and the others. But they quickly reacted and were ecstatic - "See it! You all saw it! The emperor knows that Ye Wenyan killed the princess, and has issued a decree to arrest her and put her in death row. The emperor is wise! The emperor is wise!"

As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Yanhua Palace.

Second Prince Quan Qingzhao frowned and watched for a while. He could feel that Ye Jingsheng wanted to kill his niece, but he always felt that Ye Jingsheng might be wrong. The Emperor's decree was probably not to arrest Ye Wenyan. On the contrary, why did he have a hunch that the Emperor's decree was to support Ye Wenyan?

After all, he had heard that Lian Shi, the chief steward under the Emperor, and Yun Chen, the chief supervisor of the Imperial Observatory, had visited the First-Rank General's Mansion more than once, and each time they spoke for Ye Wenyan. Ye Wenyan even had a few accounting slaves around him!

This time can't be an exception, right?

Lian Shi looked at Ye Jingsheng with disdain, and naturally did not look kindly at the two princes. But when he turned his gaze to Ye Wenyan, he immediately put on a warm smile, shook the Heavenly Edict in his hand, and said loudly: "Fourth Miss Ye Wenyan, accept the order!"
