Surprise! The Crown Princess drives a mecha into the battlefield

The atmosphere in the imperial study was so oppressive that it made people breathless.

Si Minghui's face was terribly gloomy. Si Ye, this rebellious son, actually dared to betray him.

He also brought Si Yuan into the palace and took away Wu Zhaoyi.

So many days have passed, and the person still hasn't been caught.

"You bunch of useless people, four living people just disappeared from the capital like that? Could it be that they can escape underground?" Si Minghui's angry roar echoed in the empty imperial study. Several ministers headed by Minister Ye knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

The entire capital was in a panic during this period. People were only allowed to enter but not leave. Even after such a long period of martial law, Si Yuan and his companions were still not found.

Si Yuan and others really don’t know how to escape underground, they left from the sky.

Si Minghui rubbed his temples. He had been having severe headaches lately, and the pain was becoming more and more frequent.

The imperial physician simply said that he was overworked and needed to rest.

But Si Minghui didn't have the leisure to do that. He clenched his fists and vowed to make the person who betrayed him pay the price.

When Minister Ye saw this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Ya Ru's tonic was working.

"Your Majesty, does the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion know some kind of sorcery? She emptied the palace overnight and disappeared with Concubine Wu without anyone noticing. If it wasn't sorcery, how could she do it so easily?" Minister Ye whispered, trying to divert Si Minghui's anger to Mu Wanwan.

Si Minghui had also heard Concubine Ye talk about Mu Wanwan before, so he agreed with what Minister Ye said to some extent.

"Your Majesty, the old prince has been missing for many years. Why did he suddenly return some time ago? But we haven't seen him in person. I'm afraid there is some secret hidden in this. If it is true, the old prince and the deposed prince colluded with the witch, the consequences will be unimaginable. Your Majesty, think about it, did these things start after the witch married the deposed prince?" Minister Ye further guided. Although his voice was low, it pierced Si Minghui's heart like a sharp arrow.

Si Minghui's eyes turned cold, and Ye Shangshu's words echoed in his mind.

His thoughts seemed to be stirred up by a violent storm, and his expression became even gloomier.

Indeed, ever since he arranged the marriage for Si Yuan's rebellious son, everything has been out of his control.

The deposed crown prince, Gu Hong, Mu Chongli, Si Ye and Si Yuchen...

Everyone who is mortal is still alive.

That witch must be the culprit behind all this!

"Then according to what the Minister said, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this witch possesses considerable abilities, and ordinary people are no match for her. However, Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, and you can draw upon the blessings of your ancestors to combat this witch." Minister Ye raised his head slightly, his eyes glittering with cunning, and continued, "I believe a grand sacrificial ceremony should be held. On an auspicious day, Your Majesty should personally visit the ancestral temple, notify all officials and royal relatives, and pray for the ancestors to grant divine power to aid Your Majesty in eradicating the treacherous villains and restoring order."

Minister Ye secretly planned that as long as the emperor left the palace, he could arrange for someone to take action on the way, and then put the crime of regicide on the deposed prince.

Although the tonic could not reveal anything now, it could be found after death. Just in case, it would be better to let the emperor die outside the palace so that the Ye family could escape suspicion.

At that time, the eldest prince will be able to ascend the throne legitimately.

Si Minghui was silent for a moment after hearing what Ye Shangshu said. A true dragon emperor? Was he really one? Would his ancestors really protect him?

However, he soon figured it out. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It was his ability that allowed him to sit on the dragon throne, so he was naturally the true dragon emperor.

Moreover, the ancestors would definitely not tolerate Si Yuchen colluding with the witch.

"Just as you said. Pass on my order and order the Ministry of Rites to immediately prepare for the sacrificial ceremony and select an auspicious day. I want everyone in the world to know my respect for my ancestors and my determination to eradicate evil spirits and maintain the order of the court." Si Minghui said.

The entire capital city began to get busy, preparing for the sacrificial ceremony in full swing.

The people are angry but dare not speak out about this waste of money and time.

"Bitch, I'll make you laugh." When Minister Ye arrived at the Iris Palace, Ye Yaru was holding a pair of scissors and gesturing at the maid's mouth.

The palace maid opened her eyes wide in horror, tears welling up in her eyes, but she dared not make a sound, and her body trembled violently.

It’s no wonder the palace maid laughed. Ye Yaru looked so funny now.

A few sparse hairs on one side of my head were floating around, and I really couldn't help laughing.

Since Wei Lingyue's death, Ye Yaru has become more and more crazy and transferred all her hatred to the innocent palace maids.

The vicious eyes and distorted face made Ye Shangshu feel cold in his heart.

Ye Yaru ignored the palace maid's pleading look, exerted force with her hands, and forcibly cut open the palace maid's mouth.

"Ah..." The palace maid let out a shrill scream, and blood gushed out from her lips, staining her clothes red.

"Hahahaha, laugh. I asked you to laugh. You look so beautiful when you laugh now." Ye Yaru looked at the slits on both sides of the maid's lips with satisfaction and laughed happily.

The other palace maids were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground, not daring to look up. They knew all too well how cruel Concubine Ye was, and they were afraid they would suffer the same fate.

"Okay, let's deal with the person. You should know what to say and what not to say. Everyone, leave." Minister Ye frowned and looked at the bloodstain on the ground.

Ye Yaru sneered, her eyes as cold as a knife as she swept over the trembling palace maids, her heart full of satisfaction and madness.

The palace maids retreated tremblingly, leaving only Ye Yaru and Ye Shangshu in the entire Iris Palace.

"Look at what you look like now? If the emperor sees you like this, will he still come to you?" Minister Ye looked at Ye Yaru's hair and couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Yaru glared at Ye Shangshu in dissatisfaction, walked to the dressing mirror and put on the wig.

It’s all Mu Wanwan’s fault. Now even my father despises me.

Ye Yaru looked at herself in the mirror, a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.

"Heh~~Your Majesty? Isn't he dying soon?" Ye Yaru sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

After hearing this, Ye Shangshu's face changed slightly and he quickly scolded: "Shut up, is this what you should say?"

"Okay, Dad. I know my limits. I'm just letting off some steam. What do you want from me?"

Minister Ye told Ye Yaru what had just happened in the imperial study.

"Dad, did you really make the emperor decide to hold the sacrifice?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Yaru's eyes.

"Humph, that's natural. As long as he leaves the capital, hehehe..." Minister Ye smiled grimly.

Ye Yaru also laughed sinisterly, as if she had already seen Yu'er ascending the throne.

When the time comes, she will make Si Yuan and the others suffer a fate worse than death!

At this time, the door was opened and Si Yu walked in from outside.

Ye Yaru and Ye Shangshu looked at each other and were shocked.

They didn't expect Yu'er to show up at this time.

Si Yu's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with indescribable complex emotions.

He had actually guessed his own background a long time ago, but he just didn't dare to admit it.

Seeing Si Yu's expression was not right, Ye Yaru hurriedly walked up to him and wanted to explain, "Yu'er, listen to what your mother said..."

"Okay, at this point, there's nothing left to be said." Ye Yaru was interrupted by Minister Ye before she could finish her words.

Minister Ye looked at Si Yu, sighed, and said, "Yu'er, we won't hide it from you anymore. You should already know your life experience. Just think about what will happen to us if the emperor knows. So..." Minister Ye didn't finish the rest of his words, but Si Yu already understood what he meant.

Si Yu was silent for a while, "Mother, Grandfather. Don't worry, I will fully cooperate with you."

Ye Shangshu and Ye Yaru didn't expect Si Yu to figure it out so quickly.

"Yu'er, you really have the aura of an emperor." Minister Ye looked at Si Yu with satisfaction and nodded in praise.

Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. It doesn’t matter if you are not of the Si family. As long as you can control the world, the grace of raising you will be nothing.
