When Su Mengjiao left, Zhen Jiaoxue's voice trembled slightly: "Farewell, Queen."

Ye Chen looked at Zhen Jiaoxue and said gently, "Xue'er, get up and follow me back to the palace."

"promise."

After Ye Chen took Zhen Jiaoxue onto the carriage, they rushed to the Yangxin Palace.

In the carriage, he gently put his arms around Zhen Jiaoxue's slender waist.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here and I won't let you suffer any injustice. From now on, you will live in the side hall of the Yangxin Palace and serve me exclusively."

"Yes."

Ye Chen's voice was low and gentle, like a spring breeze blowing through Zhen Jiaoxue's heart, gradually calming her panicked heart.

Zhen Jiaoxue looked at Ye Chen, her eyes full of love and dependence: "My lord, no, your majesty, I will definitely serve you well."

"Ah."

After the carriage stopped.

Ye Chen took Zhen Jiaoxue out of the carriage and walked towards the Yangxin Palace.

Cheng'en had already brought people to greet him at the palace gate.

After entering the Yangxin Palace, Ye Chen pointed to a side hall, stopped, and said to Zhen Jiaoxue, "Go and settle down first. If you need anything, tell the palace maids and eunuchs. I will call you if there is anything."

"promise."

After Zhen Jiaoxue left.

Ye Chen waved his hand.

"Change my clothes!"

Put on the dragon robe and the emperor's crown.

Ye Chen had just sat on the dragon throne.

Cheng'en bent his body, walked lightly to his side, held a letter in his hand, and handed it forward respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Tuoba Liye."

He lowered his head, humble and respectful.

Ye Chen took the letter and unfolded it.

"The assassin is already on the grassland and has contacted Tuoba Lieye. He has also pointed out the way for the assassin. However, Tuoba Lieye said that this assassination attempt may not succeed."

Ye Chen finished reading the letter, sighed softly, and said, "Cheng'en, pass the message on. Tell the assassins not to rush and wait for the right opportunity to strike. There's no need to rush to death."

"promise!"

Cheng'en retreated, but soon came back.

Then, Cheng'en handed over the second letter.

"Your Majesty, this was sent by the Supervisory Office in the capital."

Ye Chen took it and after browsing it, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Gao Yunhe wants to escape by disguising himself as a vegetable vendor?"

"Go tell Lu Niudan to attack Gao Yunhe immediately, but don't kill him. Tie him up and send him to his house to continue his house arrest."

Yes, these aristocratic families must be dealt with with a gentle knife, and cannot be killed directly.

Ye Chen gave the order.

"Yes."

Cheng'en hurriedly retreated.

Ye Chen then pondered the situation and felt that he should take action against the aristocratic families in Guanzhong next, and then began to farm in Guanzhong.

Wait for Cheng'en to return.

"Go call Fuyao."

"promise!"

Cheng'en took the order and left.

Soon, Yun Fuyao entered the Yangxin Palace.

At this time, Yun Fuyao was wearing a light yellow brocade dress. She had a graceful figure and a temperament like orchid. She exuded a scholarly air and had an intellectual beauty.

As soon as Yun Fuyao saw Ye Chen, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Fuyao, come in front of me."

"His Majesty."

Yun Fuyao stepped forward obediently, and then Ye Chen grabbed her hand.

Then, she was pulled into Ye Chen's arms.

But she did not resist, instead she hugged Ye Chen.

"Fuyao, do you miss me?"

"think."

Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then his face became serious again.

"Fuyao, I'm going to take action against the wealthy families near Chang'an. Go and prepare all the evidence. I'll need it when I go to court tomorrow."

Ye Chen's tone was filled with an unquestionable command.

Yun Fuyao bowed slightly and leaned close to Ye Chen's ear and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Her voice is clear and sweet, like a mountain spring, and her eyes reveal a hint of charm and a variety of styles.

Ye Chen nodded.

"Go."

Yun Fuyao retreated obediently.

Just as Yun Fuyao left, Cheng En came in again and said, "Your Majesty, the three concubines have sent letters, all of them are concerned about your well-being and want to see you."

"And Madam Xue has also sent people to inquire."

Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Forget it, tell the concubines that I will go to see them."

Although he had been gone for three months, Su Mengjiao had been handling all the political affairs.

He was fine, though.

Just enough time.

So he quickly left the Yangxin Palace and went to the Guifei Palace with the emperor's ceremonial guard.

When Qin Man heard that he was coming, she took the initiative to come out to greet him.

"I respectfully welcome your Majesty."

Seeing Ye Chen coming in a sedan chair, Qin Man stepped forward and bowed. Her pure temperament was even more obvious at this moment, like a lotus emerging from water.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Mian'er, stand up."

His voice was gentle as he stepped down from the sedan chair, took Qin Man's hand, and said, "Man'er, do you miss me very much?"

"Yes."

"Come, let me chat with you."

"Ah."

Ye Chen pulled Qin Man into the Imperial Concubine Palace, sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard, and chatted with Qin Man about his experiences over the past three months.

And listened to Ye Chen's words.

Qin Man was sometimes nervous and sometimes relieved.

However, he also felt that Ye Chen's outing this time was still somewhat dangerous.

After all, Ye Chen killed people personally.

However, when she heard that Ye Chen had returned safely, she was completely relieved.

After talking with Qin Man, Ye Chen thought of Hua Rui and said to the attendant beside him, "Go, call Hua Rui over."

The attendant took the order and left. After a while, he returned and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Huarui has caught a cold and cannot come."

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned, feeling a little worried: "Then I'll go and take a look."

He then left the Imperial Concubine's Palace and, with Qin Man's respectful farewell, arrived at Chunrui Palace in the emperor's procession. He saw Huarui lying on the bed, her face slightly pale, as if all the energy in her body had been drained away.

Ye Chen walked to the bedside and asked softly, "Hua Rui, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Rui forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I am fine. I just feel a little unwell. I am sorry to trouble Your Majesty."

Her voice was weak, but still contained a hint of tenderness.

Ye Chen reached out and touched Hua Rui's forehead. Finding that it wasn't very hot, he felt relieved and told Hua Rui to have a good rest. After exchanging some pleasantries, he left Chunrui Palace.

Then, Ye Chen went to the palace where Xiang Fei was.

But as soon as he entered the palace, Direza pounced on him like a joyful female leopard, hugged him, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are back. I missed you so much."

Her tall and graceful figure was pressed tightly against Ye Chen, her green eyes sparkling with passion.

Ye Chen pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to leave today. Stay and accompany me."

Ye Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Okay, I'll accompany you today."

Direza then took the initiative to pull Ye Chen towards the bedroom.

Ye Chen: I think this guy is a little too wild.

It's still broad daylight.

More than an hour later.

Ye Chen walked out of the palace in high spirits.

Ye Chen left with the emperor's ceremonial procession. Direza leaned against the wall and slowly walked out of the bedroom. He bit his lips hard and looked at Ye Chen's receding back unwillingly.

She had planned everything, but she hadn't anticipated Ye Chen's strong body from long-term martial arts training.

Even though he had gotten Zhen Jiaoxue last night, it was her first time after all, so Ye Chen was gentle with her and did not let her go.

But it can be used against Direza.

Ye Chen released all the energy he had accumulated over the past three months.
