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

Ye Chen rode in a carriage out of the village and headed towards the capital.

He has already gotten what he wanted from Murong Yan.

The next step was to wait for Liu Chengyu and Di Gui to quickly replace the soldiers in the Beijing camp who were loyal to Edward Yang.

Then, he can take action.

"It would take Kou Yu half a month to travel from the northwestern border to the capital, even if he traveled day and night."

"Everything must be done during this period of time."

Ye Chen's eyes became sharp.

Time is running out, we have to act quickly.

"Your Majesty, news has come from the palace that Marquis Fenxin has requested an audience, saying he wants to plead for his daughter."

When the carriage just entered the capital, Shen Qiu suddenly received the news and said to Ye Chen.

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He immediately thought of Yun Fuyao who was still imprisoned in the palace.

He had no thoughts about Marquis Fenxin, but Yun Fuyao could be his first female aide.

To deal with a smart woman like Murong Yan, Ye Chen also has to find another smart woman to balance things out.

"Forget about that Fenxin Hou, let's go back to the palace first."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

The carriage quickly returned to the palace.

Shen Qiu got off the carriage and planned to return to Kunning Palace.

"Qiu'er, have someone send Yun Fuyao to the Yangxin Palace later."

Ye Chen lifted the car curtain and said to Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu was slightly stunned, then clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"

When Ye Chen returned to the Yangxin Palace and had just put on the dragon robe, Yun Fuyao was escorted here by Shen Qiu himself.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Yun Fuyao was obviously much thinner than before, but his clothes were still very clean.

Although Ye Chen had Yun Fuyao captured and brought to the palace, he did not allow her to be treated unfairly.

The place where she was imprisoned was not the palace's Sky Prison, but the Cold Palace.

But even so, Yun Fuyao's face still looked haggard.

These past few days, she couldn't eat.

"You, it's you."

As soon as Yun Fuyao saw Ye Chen, she was stunned.

Ye Chen was wearing a golden dragon robe and an emperor's crown on his head. Just by seeing this, Yun Fuyao already understood Ye Chen's identity.

Her body trembled, and she was extremely shocked.

But he never expected that Ye Chen was actually the emperor's.

"Yun Fuyao, do you know your crime?"

Facing Yun Fuyao's shocked gaze, Ye Chen asked calmly.

His tone was steady, yet with a hint of dominance.

The powerful aura of the emperor spread out like a raging storm.

"Pfft."

Yun Fuyao knelt down instantly and prostrated himself on the ground with a look of panic on his face.

"Sin, the sinner knows his sin."

"I didn't ask you about the crime of impersonating someone else during the exam. I asked you if you knew you had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Sin, sinner."

Yun Fuyao bit her lip hard. She felt a lot of pressure now. When she faced Ye Chen before, although Ye Chen's aura was still awe-inspiring, she only regarded Ye Chen as an examiner after all.

But now, she already knew that Ye Chen was actually the emperor of the current dynasty. For a moment, she felt the pressure doubled.

After all, deceiving the emperor is a serious crime!

This kind of crime is not comparable to deceiving the examiner.

"Your Majesty, I have never committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Please investigate!"

"Oh, good, very good, Yun Fuyao, do you think you can deceive me?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, but in his heart he admired Yun Fuyao even more.

Even though he knew that he was the emperor and faced the imperial power, Yun Fuyao still did not surrender.

If you ask him to keep a secret in the future, he will probably never tell it.

This is a woman with a very strong character.

This is a woman who can do great things!

"Your Majesty, I dare not."

Yun Fuyao knelt on the ground and said.

"Yun Fuyao, as the concubine daughter of the Yun family, I have heard that your mother almost raised you single-handedly, and your father has never cared much about you since you were a child."

"But when it came time to take the exam to select generals, they pulled you out and asked you to take the exam on behalf of Yun Peng. I wonder if your father had a hold on your mother and forced you to submit?"

Ye Chen suddenly said.

If someone is found taking the exam on someone else's behalf, they will definitely be punished. Even if Ye Chen is lenient with these people, Yun Fuyao had already come to take the exam before Ye Chen showed any intention of being lenient.

This made Ye Chen suspect that Yun Fuyao was forced by someone.

Hearing this, Yun Fuyao was shocked. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Ye Chen with a panicked look. Then he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, this matter was done by Yun Fuyao alone. It has nothing to do with others, and no one has ever threatened Fuyao."

"good very good!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.

If Yun Fuyao had admitted that she was forced before, the entire Yun family would have been implicated.

But she was able to get a reduction in guilt.

But when faced with the choice between himself and his family, he once again chose his family.

This is not a selfish person.

Ye Chen walked in front of Yun Fuyao and let out a long breath.

"Yun Fuyao, since you are so stubborn and unyielding, then I will punish you severely."

Hearing this, Yun Fuyao bit her lip hard, her body trembling with fear, but she didn't say a word in defense.

Even if it means death, as long as I can protect my family.

Protect his mother.

Yun Fuyao felt that her death was worthy.

The only regret is that I may not be able to continue writing the book on raising children.

"Yun Fuyao!"

"The sinner is here."

Ye Chen paused, and every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting Yun Fuyao's heart, making her feel despair.

"I will punish you severely."

"You will be punished for your crimes!"

"Ok?"

Yun Fuyao suddenly looked up and looked at Ye Chen in surprise, only to find that Ye Chen was also looking at her.

When their eyes met, Yun Fuyao suddenly felt that Ye Chen's gaze was very gentle.

It was like a ray of sunshine, shining into her eyes.
