Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

After leaving some imperial guards beside Murong Yan to make sure that she would not run away again.

Ye Chen returned to the palace.

That night.

Ye Chen turned over the imperial concubine's sign.

Qin Man entered the bedroom.

Ye Chen held Qin Man's hand. Qin Man's face was full of shyness and her eyes were full of love.

"Mian'er, are you used to living in the palace?"

"Your Majesty, I am used to it."

"What, Your Majesty? Meng'er, how could you forget again? If you do this again, I will be angry."

"Xiang, Xiang, my husband."

Qin Man's pretty face flushed, but it was much better than the first time she called Ye Chen "husband".

Obviously, I have adapted to it.

Ye Chen smiled slightly.

He reached out and gently untied Qin Man's clothes.

Qin Man did not resist.

Soon, she was left with only a pink bellyband on her upper body.

There was a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the bellyband.

Just as Ye Chen reached out to take off his bellyband.

"Your Majesty, don't."

Qin Man took a step back.

And this is her final bottom line.

When she slept with the emperor in the past, she always kept to this bottom line.

Seeing this, Ye Chen stopped.

He didn't want to use force.

Anyway, Qin Man is already his, and this last bottom line will be broken sooner or later.

Ye Chen was confident that he would soon be able to make Qin Man willingly give her all.

He grabbed Qin Man's waist in a domineering manner, picked her up, and walked towards the dragon bed.

Hibiscus warm tent.

Contrary to the dragon and the phoenix.

The candlelight in the bedroom was quickly blown out by a gust of wind.

The next day, Ye Chen was awakened by the bell.

But he did not get up, but continued to hug Qin Man tenderly.

Until the sun was shining brightly outside the window.

Ye Chen pulled Qin Man out of bed, had breakfast with her, and then called Hua Rui.

He then began to practice in the yard.

Stand in horse stance and practice swordsmanship.

I was sweating all over after practicing.

While he was resting, Hua Rui brought him some cut fruit, and Qin Man wiped his sweat with a towel.

Ye Chen is surrounded by beauties and enjoys all the happiness.

Both women acted shy and had no intention of competing for each other's favor.

Ye Chen was delighted when he saw this.

What would it be like if the two women could get on the dragon bed together one day?

Ye Chen's heart was burning with passion.

In the afternoon, he took Qin Man to inspect the imperial garden.

The one hundred people from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion had now completely adapted to the training methods arranged by Lin Ziyun.

When a hundred people march in step, they give the impression that they are one body, like a moving giant beast.

Beside Ye Chen, Qin Man couldn't help but take a few steps back when faced with the hundred people coming towards her, and her eyes were shining.

The spirit and energy displayed by these people from the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion moved Qin Man.

This was because Qin Man often walked around in the Imperial Garden and had come into contact with these people. Otherwise, she would not only be moved, but also shocked.

Seeing this, Ye Chen felt a little excited.

"Where's the commander?"

"Chen is here!"

Xia Ju stepped out from the crowd and clasped his fists.

"Count!"

"Yes!"

Xia Ju turned around immediately.

"Count!"

"one two three four."

After the hundred people quickly reported their numbers, silence fell.

Xia Ju then turned around and walked in front of Ye Chen.

"Your Majesty, the count is complete! No one is absent!"

Xia Ju knelt on one knee and clasped his fists towards Ye Chen.

"Ah."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said domineeringly: "Start training."

Xia Ju retreated and directed a hundred people to go for daily training in batches.

Ye Chen became more and more confident as he observed the training of these hundred people. He felt that there would be no problem in the competition with the Imperial Guards soon.

Then more than ten days later.

Ye Chen did not leave the palace.

Practice in the morning.

Military parade in the afternoon.

He supervised the training of the people in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion and actively prepared for battle with the imperial guards.

"Your Majesty, Yan Fan said last night that his parents are almost recovered and has returned to the Imperial Guards."

It’s the last day of the month.

Shen Qiu suddenly came to the Imperial Garden and said to Ye Chen.

"Humph!"

Ye Chen's face darkened and he said, "Qiu'er, find a reason to punish this man with a cane!"

"Your Majesty, Yan Fan only went to the palace to report and then left. He said he would return to the Imperial Guards to resume his duties tomorrow, but tomorrow is the day of the competition."

Shen Qiu said to Ye Chen.

"Oh, then have the people from the Supervisory Department keep an eye on Yan Fan at all times, and take action if there's an opportunity."

"If there is no chance, then we can wait until tomorrow's competition to deal with Yan Fan."

Ye Chen snorted coldly.

He would do his utmost to eliminate anyone who might pose a threat, and he didn't care what means were used.

However, if those gangsters from the Supervisory Office cannot find an opportunity to deal with Yan Fan, he will not let the Supervisory Office break into people's homes. After all, the impact will be too great and it will easily lead to gossip.

Moreover, he has 100% confidence in the battle against the Imperial Guards tomorrow.

Whether there is a strict ban or not, there will be no waves.

"Yes."

Shen Qiu then clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

"explain."

"Di Gui has sent back news that he has collected 6,000 men from Taiyuan. Together with the yamen runners he previously mobilized from various places, he has gathered 7,000 men. In ten days at the latest, Di Gui will bring these people to the capital. Di Gui also said that we need to prepare some military rations in advance."

"And how's the wheat business? And the paper business?"

As soon as I heard that they needed military rations.

Ye Chen asked immediately.

"The wheat business is doing well. The flatbreads and boiled noodles are selling well. As for paper, it's been fetching a high price these days. There's no demand for it on the market."

"We've earned over 60,000 taels of silver from paper these days, and our stockpile of flour has reached about a ton, and the amount is still increasing. However, according to our estimates, after ten days, we will still only have enough flour to feed 7,000 people for ten days."

Shen Qiuze said to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown.

The enemy Di Gui are looking for people too quickly, and we haven’t stored enough military rations yet.

If there is not enough food.

This is going to be a big problem.

This matter must be resolved somehow.

But where can we find food?

Ye Chen fell into deep thought.
