Zhongshu Province.

Yang Dechang's face was as gloomy as he sat upright in the main seat.

Gao Yunhe, standing by, had an extremely grim expression on his face. As soon as he arrived at the Secretariat, he couldn't help but ask, "Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

"Ding Fang, although those on death row have been sentenced to death, they won't die immediately. After all, death row prisoners will be executed later in the autumn."

Yang Dechang shook his head, but said in a calm tone, "Brother Dingfang, the only solution for now is to wait. If the Tatars don't withdraw their troops in two months, I will be able to legitimately and completely dethrone the young emperor."

"By then, all the noble families in the palace's death row, all the imprisoned old ministers, and even those who were exiled, will be able to return to the capital, and the verdict spoken by the little emperor himself will be nothing but bullshit!"

Hearing this, Gao Yunhe finally calmed down.

"Prime Minister, but there are still more than two months left. My relatives are all spoiled. When have they ever suffered the kind of torture that death row has?"

“Ding Fang, only those who endure the most hardships can become the best.”

Yang Dechang shook his head and said, "After we overthrow the young emperor and rescue all the children of your Gao family, I promise to give the Gao family sufficient compensation."

"Oh well."

Gao Yunhe finally nodded, but then he gritted his teeth and said, "Prime Minister, do we still need to destroy that lakeside building?"

"No need, the little emperor is too smart, let's just keep it stable for now."

Yang Dechang shook his head. His actions were repeatedly frustrated. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that Ye Chen's methods were really clever.

It seemed as if all his actions were predicted by Ye Chen in advance.

It's like being at the poker table and having all your cards exposed to others.

Yang Dechang understood that facing an opponent like Ye Chen, he must never act rashly again.

"Okay, Prime Minister, I will listen to you."

Gao Yunhe finally nodded, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then Prime Minister, should we still kill the little emperor?"

He now has a deep hatred for Ye Chen.

Because of Ye Chen, he first lost his younger brother, and now so many relatives and members of the Gao family were thrown into death row, and even more members of the Gao family were to be exiled three thousand miles away. He didn't know how much suffering and pain they would have to endure.

All these things combined made him completely hate Ye Chen.

"If there's a chance, we can take action. If there's no chance, let's just stop."

Yang Dechang shook his head, indicating that he needed to stay calm for now.

We must not lose our composure again.

Without absolute certainty, he would never take action again.

Hearing this, Gao Yunhe could only say, "That's the only way. That little emperor is too difficult to deal with."

"If I had known that this little emperor would be so difficult to deal with, I should have killed him sooner!"

Hearing this, Yang Dechang felt deeply regretful.

He also didn't expect that Ye Chen would be so powerful after he woke up.

And in the capital, he really couldn't think of a better way to deal with Ye Chen.

None of the people he recruited outside the court could surpass Wu Ba's skills. Even if he transferred people from other places, they would definitely not be able to threaten Ye Chen.

However, he also did not expect that Ye Chen, whom he and Gao Yunhe thought was very powerful, had already left the capital in a carriage.

Outside the capital.

On the banks of the rolling Yellow River.

In a long pavilion beside a tributary.

A girl with stunning appearance, graceful and noble temperament, and confidence in her eyes and eyebrows, is cooking wine.

Behind Murong Yan, Yu Niang stood gracefully with a palm-leaf fan in her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on the outside of the pavilion.

It was not until she saw a carriage coming that Yu Niang's eyes lit up and she walked out with light steps.

"Mr. Ye is here? My boss has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."

Seeing Ye Chen getting off the carriage.

Yu Niang gently waved the palm-leaf fan, a sweet smile on her face, and she naturally exuded a charming and mature temperament.

"Oh, Yu Niang, besides your boss, aren't you waiting for me?"

Ye Chen already knew that his identity was exposed, but he did not try to hide it. He walked forward, shook Yu Niang's hand, and said with a smile.

"Ye, Master Ye, no, Your Majesty, I am not worthy of waiting for you."

Yu Niang felt as if she had been electrocuted. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Lin Ziyun held it tightly. She struggled several times, but found that she couldn't get free, so she could only kneel on the ground and said.

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows. Although he held Yu Niang's hand tightly, he would still let go as long as Yu Niang persisted in struggling.

But Yu Niang didn't struggle for long, instead she knelt down directly.

Lin Ziyun was speechless for a moment. This made him feel like he was using force to oppress the other party.

He couldn't help but let go of his hand, then touched his nose awkwardly.

"Yu Niang, get up quickly. From now on, when you see me, as long as I'm wearing casual clothes, you can call me Master Ye. Treat me the same way you treated me before. Don't be too restrained, understand?"

"this."

Yu Niang's heart trembled, and she said, "I dare not."

"What's there to be afraid of? I don't mind, and you don't have to mind either!"

Ye Chen took the initiative to help Yu Niang up, and said: "And Yu Niang, you must know that every time I leave the palace, I take risks. If you behave like this, it will easily expose my identity. Wouldn't that put me in greater danger?"

Hearing this, Yu Niang was finally convinced.

"Okay, okay."

"Then Yu Niang, ask Master Ye to come and listen."

"Ye, Master Ye."

Yu Niang smiled slightly, feeling somewhat happy in her heart.

Ye Chen, an emperor, was actually willing to get along with her as a young master.

This really flattered her.

"Good shout!"

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth quickly rose up, but when he walked past Yu Niang, he suddenly slapped Yu Niang's perky buttocks hard with his hand.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

Yu Niang screamed, then looked at Ye Chen with some anger.

Ye Chen walked into the pavilion and saw Murong Yan staring at him with a complicated expression.

Murong Yan held a wine glass in her hand.

"Your Majesty, should I call you Master Ye or Your Majesty?"

Murong Yan placed the wine glass in front of Ye Chen and said.

"Boss Murong, when we meet next time, you should just call me Master, just like Yu Niang. Of course, if you want to be more affectionate, that's fine too."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, but his eyes narrowed.
