After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

"Your Majesty, Ye Zhuxi, General Ye's daughter, requests an audience!"

The emperor was happily eating the grapes that Yu Niang had fed him when he heard Li Si's voice.

He knew that Ye Zhuxi would definitely plead for Fu Jingyuan now that she was in the palace, so he waved his hand unhappily: "I'm tired, let her come in a few days!"

"Yes!"

Li Si accepted the order and withdrew.

The entrance to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Ye Zhuxi paced anxiously at the door. When she saw Li Si come out, she quickly went to greet him: "How is it?"

Li Si bowed respectfully to her and said with some helplessness, "Miss Ye, please come back in a few days. The Emperor doesn't have time to see you right now!"

"Eunuch Li, I really have something to ask the Emperor, please help me!"

Li Si frowned: "Oh, my lady, the Emperor has said there's something urgent, how dare this servant say anything?"

Ye Zhuxi's face was pale. She bit her lip and said, "I really have something to say. It's about Ye Qizheng. I must see the Emperor today!"

When Ye Qizheng was mentioned, Li Si's eyes lit up. He leaned closer to Ye Zhuxi, looked around, and seeing that no one was around, quietly asked, "Is it good or bad?"

"..."

Ye Zhuxi took a few steps back, staring straight at him, and asked in a cold voice, "Why is Eunuch Li asking this?"

Ye Qizheng has too many henchmen, and it's hard to guarantee that Li Si isn't one of his men, so Ye Zhuxi remains very vigilant.

Li Si glanced around again and said in a low voice, "To be honest, I've always disliked Ye Qizheng and wished I could..."

He paused for a moment, but it was clear from his tone that he was not one of Ye Qizheng's men.

“It’s bad!” Ye Zhuxi said through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Upon hearing this, Li Si shouted and rushed straight to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Ye Zhuxi: "..."

It seems Ye Qi has made quite a few enemies; even Emperor Li Si's most trusted advisors wish they could kill him...

Upon hearing Li Si's voice, the emperor paused in his drinking motion and angrily slammed the wine cup down.

"I'm perfectly fine!"

"No, Your Majesty, it's Miss Ye who has urgent news to report, concerning Ye Qizheng's 'major matter'!" Li Si steadied his hat, which was about to fall off, and said in a low voice.

The emperor frowned deeply and glanced at Yu Niang beside him.

"What important matter has frightened you, the chief eunuch, like this?"

"This servant does not know, but Miss Ye said it is a very important matter, Your Majesty should still grant her an audience!"

Li Si highly recommended it.

"..."

At this moment, Yu Niang, who had been silent all along, spoke softly: "Your Majesty, since it is an important matter, please listen to it!"

Generally, the Emperor would listen to whatever Yu Niang said, and this time was no exception.

His expression softened considerably. He picked up a handkerchief from the table and wiped the spilled wine off his hands, then said impatiently.

"Let Ye Zhuxi come in and speak!"

As soon as Ye Zhuxi entered, she noticed the alluring woman beside the emperor.

At this moment, she was wearing a beautiful white gauze dress, leaning softly against the emperor, her eyes always carrying a hint of a smile, her gaze so captivating that it was impossible not to look at her more. Her already pretty face was slightly flushed, giving her an enigmatic beauty.

She withdrew her gaze and slowly knelt before the emperor in the hall.

"This humble woman greets Your Majesty!"

The emperor casually raised his hand: "Rise!"

After she stood up, the emperor frowned and said with some displeasure, "What important matter is it? Speak!"

Ye Zhuxi stood up, glanced at Consort Yu beside him, and hesitated before speaking.

If this plan succeeds, Ye Qizheng will have no chance of recovery. However, if it is accidentally leaked, Ye Qizheng will definitely strengthen his defenses, or even launch a rebellion.

The Emperor, aware of her concerns, turned gently to Consort Yu and said, "Yu'er, go back to your palace and wait for me. I will come to be with you after I have finished my business!"

"Your Majesty is busy with important matters, so there's no need to worry about me!" Yu Niang said with a light laugh.

"Yu'er is so considerate!" The Emperor took Consort Yu's hand and said gently.

Ye Zhuxi frowned: "..."

When the emperor looked at Consort Yu, he seemed to be under a spell, his eyes gentle but lifeless, like a puppet being manipulated!

As Yu Niang stepped down, she looked up at Ye Zhuxi.

For some reason, even though she was smiling, she gave Ye Zhuxi a very strange feeling, especially when she got close, there was a faint scent on her body.

"..."

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

After everyone had left, the emperor spoke.

Ye Zhuxi came to her senses, looked at the man in the hall, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I hereby accuse Ye Qizheng of hoarding weapons and embezzling disaster relief funds!"

The emperor's face immediately paled, his gaze turning grim. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, exclaiming, "Ye Zhuxi, how dare you!"

Ye Zhuxi's eyes showed no sign of backing down, her gaze unwavering.

"I dare not speak recklessly before His Majesty."

Looking into Ye Zhuxi's determined eyes, which didn't seem like she was lying, the emperor thought for a moment and then asked, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty is unaware that Ye Qi has been secretly buying and selling official positions. He did not fully implement the disaster relief plan proposed by Prime Minister Li some time ago, but instead secretly embezzled a large amount of grain and salary!"

"Ten years ago, Ye Qizheng led a group of people to find a silver mine in a remote mountainous area, but he did not report it to the imperial court. Instead, he mined it privately and then privately minted official silver..."

"Now, all his filth is hidden in a bandit den called Night Wind Village in the northwest, where he is guarding everything under the guise of being a bandit."

Seeing the emperor's skeptical look, she continued, "Now, as long as Your Majesty sends people to search, everything will be found."

The emperor stared at her intently, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"I knew nothing about what Ye Qi was doing. How did you, a young lady who rarely leaves her home, find out?"

Ye Zhuxi had anticipated the emperor's question, and respectfully bowed to him, saying, "Your Majesty, I have spoken; please do not be angry!"

"Say!"

"It was all said by Ye Fan!"

“Back then, my elder brother and I were kidnapped by him. I said that if the Emperor found out, he would definitely punish him severely, but he wouldn’t listen. He even said… he even said that the Emperor’s current position was given to him by his father, and if Ye Qizheng were ever unhappy, he could take it back at any time.”

"Perhaps thinking we were doomed, he boasted to me and my elder brother about how many disciples Ye Qizheng had taken on in the court and how much benefit he had received."

Ye Zhuxi, taking advantage of Ye Fan's death and lack of evidence, relentlessly pinned accusations on him!

"..."

The emperor's greatest fear was that others would endanger him. His expression grew increasingly grim, and he took a deep breath.

"No matter what, Ye Qizheng is still my uncle. Ye Zhuxi, if what you said is false, I will not forgive you!"

Ye Zhuxi raised her hand: "I swear to Heaven that everything I have said today is true!"

The emperor nodded.

"So what do you think we should do next? Or who should be sent to retrieve Ye Qizheng's stolen goods?"

Without hesitation, Ye Zhuxi replied, "Third Prince Ye Xiaoran!"
