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

In the carriage.

Shen Qiu and Ye Chen fought against each other and soon broke out in a sweat.

Ye Chen only smelled a faint fragrance, but felt relaxed and happy.

"Qiu'er, you smell like orchids."

“It smells so good!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu's whole body trembled, then he glared at Ye Chen, and with a move of breaking bones, he grabbed Ye Chen's wrist.

"Ah, it hurts! Qiu'er, let go!"

Ye Chen felt pain and said quickly.

Shen Qiu loosened his hand, and then said to Ye Chen with a cold face: "Your Majesty, when fighting with others, you must avoid being distracted!"

"understood."

How could Ye Chen not see that Shen Qiu was reminding him? After rubbing his wrist, he said, "Qiu'er, come on, let's continue!"

To be honest, even if we put aside Shen Qiu's extraordinary grace, the bone-breaking technique that Shen Qiu taught him is also quite powerful.

After encountering the enemy, this move can defeat the enemy at the fastest speed.

Ye Chen also studied very seriously.

Only when I am serious about it, I will occasionally take advantage of others and take advantage of them.

Until the carriage entered the palace.

Shen Qiu just stopped.

"Your Majesty, I must first go to Kunning Palace to report to the Queen Mother!"

"Go."

Shen Qiu jumped off the carriage and left quickly.

Ye Chen went straight back to the Yangxin Palace.

As soon as he arrived outside the Yangxin Palace, Cheng'en, who had been waiting there, immediately brought people to greet him.

Ye Chen's attention was quickly attracted by the pistil beside Cheng'en.

At this time, Hua Rui was wearing a dark blue brocade dress, with a vibrant body, delicate skin, and a perfect tall figure, fully displaying her youth and vitality.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up and he walked straight forward.

But Cheng'en and others were there.

He didn't attack the pistil directly.

"Hurry up and change my clothes. I have to go to Taiqian Palace soon!"

Ye Chen coughed lightly, his tone calm and domineering.

Upon hearing this, Cheng'en did not dare to delay and quickly welcomed Ye Chen into the Yangxin Palace.

Ye Chen changed out of his civilian clothes and put on his dragon robe again.

Then, Ye Chen suddenly put his arms around Hua Rui's slender waist.

"Your Majesty~."

"Button me up."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

Huarui lowered her head silently and opened her lips slightly.

She has become quite skilled at buttoning her clothes.

The tongue has become much more flexible.

And just as Hua Rui was buttoning Ye Chen's shirt.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shen said that Minister Gu has been taken to the Taiqian Palace."

Hearing this, Ye Chen knew that something important was going on, so he let go of the blushing pistil.

Look at the graceful pistil.

Ye Chen's heart was getting hotter and hotter, and he felt that he could never see enough, and now he and Hua Rui were just one step away from getting on base.

"Once the people from the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion are placed in the Imperial Guards and they control a portion of the armed forces, then when the time comes, even if I want a palace maid, the Empress Dowager won't dare to complain."

Ye Chen made up his mind, turned around and walked out of the Yangxin Palace.

He left the Yangxin Palace, got on a sedan chair, and headed towards the Taiqian Palace.

Wait until you reach Taiqian Palace.

Ye Chen saw a minister wearing a fourth-rank official uniform standing guard there.

Gu Zhichun is a middle-aged man with black hair and beard and a dignified appearance.

But when he saw Ye Chen go to the palace.

Gu Zhichun had already knelt on the ground.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!"

Ye Chen strode onto the dragon throne and sat upright.

"Gu Zhichun, do you admit your guilt?"

"Your Majesty, my good-for-nothing son has been a bit overbearing. I haven't disciplined him properly. Please, Your Majesty, spare my son for the sake of my years of diligence!"

Gu Zhichun kowtowed and begged for mercy.

He mobilized all his connections and found out that the prison car holding Gu Tong was taken into the palace.

He already realized that something was wrong.

"Ah."

A sneer appeared on Ye Chen’s face.

Do you want to cover up all the guilt just by saying something a bit domineering?

"Minister Gu, I remember you've been a minister for about ten years, right?"

Ye Chen suddenly asked doubtfully.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I have been working in the Ministry of Works for sixteen years!"

"Sixteen years! In these sixteen years, Minister Gu's good son has done a lot! Do you only now realize that he is domineering?"

Ye Chen picked up a bamboo slip and threw it in front of Gu Zhichun.

Gu Zhichun was slightly stunned.

"Take a look for yourself, and then tell me how I should spare your good son."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhichun reached out and picked up the bamboo slips. He nervously opened it and read it line by line. But before he had read for long, his hand holding the bamboo slips began to tremble.

"Your Majesty, these."

"These were all acknowledged by your good son himself."

Ye Chen's tone was cold as he said, "Gu Aiqing, do you think all these things are just domineering?"

"Your Majesty, I am unaware of these matters!"

Gu Zhichun's head was covered in cold sweat.

Ye Chen was so angry that he laughed.

"Gu Zhichun! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?!"

Gu Zhichun trembled all over and fell to the ground shivering.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know. I really don't know."

Beads of sweat the size of beans fell from Gu Zhichun's forehead as he pleaded.

"Alright, your son has so many lives on his hands. I will have the Imperial Guards investigate, investigate the relatives of these people, and investigate the fate of their loved ones. As long as one person dies a tragic death, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

"You think I can't find evidence?"

"Or should I call your son here and have you confront him in court?"

The imperial aura emanated from Ye Chen, captivating everyone.

Gu Zhichun didn't dare to refute at all.

Ye Chen brought him tremendous pressure at this time, which made him tremble with fear.

Moreover, he didn't dare to refute a single word Ye Chen said.

He knew clearly how many times he had wiped Gu Tong's butt and whether he had done it cleanly or not.

After a while.

"Your Majesty, I, I, I, I am guilty."

"Oh, just plead guilty."

Ye Chen's face showed a serious expression, and he said: "Minister Gu, I ask you, do you want to live?"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to spare my life!"

Gu Zhichun kowtowed like crazy, sweating profusely and his face was pale.

"Since you want to live, then tell me, three years ago, when the old Marquis Jing'an died in battle, along with 30,000 men, did your Ministry of Works have any involvement, and what did you do?"

Ye Chen's eyes were bright, and every word he spoke was filled with endless majesty, which was deafening.

Hearing this, Gu Zhichun was shocked and looked up at Ye Chen in horror.

"Say!"

The feeling of oppression came over me.

Gu Zhichun's heart skipped a beat, and he finally said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I can't remember clearly."

"Oh, then do you want me to recall it for you? Gu Zhichun, you are already guilty of a capital crime. If you still dare to conceal it, don't blame me."

Hearing this, Gu Zhichun looked terrified and didn't dare to look Ye Chen in the eye.

"I don't know, I really don't know, I know nothing!"

Gu Zhichun gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, even if you kill my entire family, I still know nothing!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, then waved his hand.

"Someone, come! Take Gu Zhichun to the death row!"

Two imperial guards rushed in immediately.

"Your Majesty, please spare me! Please spare me! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!~"

Gu Zhichun begged for mercy loudly but was forcibly dragged away by two imperial guards.
