After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a
Chapter 84 continues to drop bombshells.
"Imperial Censor Liu, is what Ye Yaoyao said true?" The Emperor looked at Imperial Censor Liu with a stern expression.
"Your Majesty...I...I am innocent! Those things are not true, I..."
"The swindler dares to cry foul, but you are not wronged at all. Just investigate and you'll know."
Ye Yaoyao approached Imperial Censor Liu, pointed at him, and shouted insults at him, her finger almost poking his face.
Imperial Censor Liu, who was usually sharp-tongued, was now in a panic and couldn't utter a single word to defend himself. The Emperor saw this and was probably convinced it was true.
"Guards, lock Imperial Censor Liu in jail and investigate him thoroughly."
Ye Yaoyao revealed all the account books, and Imperial Censor Liu knew he was doomed. He was pushed off the stage before he could even react.
[Pull one down, it won't make a difference if a few more follow. The person next to you is also cursing at you, quickly yell at him.]
"You scolded me too." Ye Yaoyao looked at Lord Zhang, who was sitting at the table next to Imperial Censor Liu.
"No...no," Lord Zhang denied fearfully.
"You're not a good person either."
There was something clearly wrong with Imperial Censor Liu, and everyone was wondering how Ye Yaoyao knew about Imperial Censor Liu.
Unable to walk steadily, she simply sat down on the ground, and Ye Jingyang brought her a cup of tea.
The Emperor frowned. This was the imperial palace. These two siblings were really acting recklessly. He wondered what else Ye Yaoyao might say, so he decided not to argue with her.
Apart from Ye Mian, the others from the Ye family looked on with a calm and composed demeanor, having initially been uneasy.
The Emperor suddenly realized that Ye Yaoyao, who had emerged from the coffin, might be someone extraordinary.
After finishing her tea, Ye Yaoyao leaned comfortably against Ye Jingyang's lap and started pointing at Lord Zhang.
"Hmph! You're no good official either. As the Director of the Imperial Household Department, you abused your power to embezzle a lot of good things and colluded with merchants to pass off inferior goods as superior ones."
"Items like musical instruments, silk, and the ostentatious but impractical jewelry worn by lower-ranking concubines were all replaced with high-quality imitations by you."
Lord Zhang's face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Your Majesty, I did not. Ye Yaoyao was just talking nonsense while drunk. Your Majesty should not believe her ramblings."
"Go and get a few pieces of silk jewelry to check their craftsmanship. Go check them quickly."
The Emperor's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, looking at Ye Yaoyao with a meaningful gaze. How did she know about what was happening in the palace?
Ye Mian didn't have that ability yet, so he couldn't help but look at the Liu family. The Liu family members looked like they were watching a show, showing no signs of worry.
The Emperor once again felt that perhaps Ye Yaoyao was extraordinary.
“And you too.” Ye Yaoyao pointed at Madam Zhang.
"No...I didn't." The two adults were silenced by Ye Yaoyao, and Madam Zhang was frightened.
“You often steal your husband’s family’s money to support your own family. You secretly bought a villa without telling Lord Zhang and kept two lovers there. When Lord Zhang is not around, you go there to find him.”
Lord Zhang could hardly believe it; his always virtuous wife was such a person.
"You...you actually hid this from me and did such a despicable thing."
Lord Zhang has now forgotten what was just exposed; his mind is filled with the humiliation of being cuckolded.
"I didn't..." Madam Zhang felt that everyone's eyes were on her, and she wanted to run away.
[Host, this is to your right front.]
"And you, you are the most jealous. You are jealous of your sisters who are prettier than you. You used a poisonous scheme to disfigure your elder sister, causing her to contemplate suicide, while you took her place and married Lord Li."
You've abused all the pretty maids in the Li family, huh! You vicious woman.
Madam Li, who was called a poisonous woman by Ye Yaoyao, was so terrified that she couldn't utter a word. She didn't know how Ye Yaoyao knew. Her face was pale and her hands were trembling as she tried to express that she hadn't done it.
Ye Yaoyao, who was sitting on the ground looking shorter, stood up and pointed out one by one those who echoed Liu Yushi's insults, exposing their hidden moral character.
"You've colluded with Imperial Censor Liu; you're no good either."
"Your Majesty, I only had tea with Imperial Censor Liu a few times, nothing else."
The Emperor ignored him and kept looking at Ye Yaoyao.
"Ye Yaoyao, if what you said is true, I will not blame you for your drunken misbehavior. On the contrary, I will reward you handsomely."
Take a closer look and see which other officials have engaged in misconduct.
Upon hearing the Emperor's words, many officials felt fear, while others thought the move was absurd.
"Your Majesty, Ye Yaoyao is talking nonsense while drunk, and I believe it should not be taken seriously."
The Right Chancellor always acted with propriety, so it was absurd for the Emperor to have a drunken girl inspect all the court officials.
"Your Majesty, I believe the Right Chancellor's words are quite right. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider."
"Your Majesty, Ye Yaoyao is just a young girl, she couldn't possibly know so much. I'm afraid she'll talk nonsense and disrupt the court."
"Your Majesty, Ye Yaoyao may know one or two things. I think it would be better to cancel the palace banquet. It's getting late, and you and the other officials have to attend the morning court tomorrow!"
“Your Majesty, I think the Princess is right. Ye Yaoyao is just a young girl. How could she know so much?”
Ye Yaoyao's repeated rudeness displeased the Empress, who now felt that the Emperor was confused.
“Your Majesty, please understand that what my daughter said was just something she happened to hear; she knows nothing else about it.”
Liu Yunshu was worried that her daughter would reveal the secrets of the entire court and offend people, and that no one would let her off the hook.
Ye Mian, worried that Ye Yaoyao's nonsense might implicate him, quickly said:
"Your Majesty, the lady is right. My daughter doesn't understand these things. Let her leave and sober up!"
At this moment, the emperor was determined. He was diligent in his duties, but there were still many ministers who outwardly obeyed but inwardly defied him. Now was the perfect opportunity to take decisive action under Ye Yaoyao's guidance.
How many court officials were there that he couldn't see clearly? Perhaps Ye Yaoyao could give him the answer.
【Host, the emperor wants to use you to expose the scandals of all the officials. Alas! You're drunk again, and the emperor is suspicious. Don't try to talk to any good people about this.】
Let's deal with the bad guys without family connections first; we can't touch the big ones yet.
The second prince rose and addressed the emperor:
“Father, I almost married Zhao Qingrou a couple of days ago. It was Liu Langyue and Ye Yaoyao who exposed the evil deeds of the Zhao family. I think it’s worth listening to.”
"Absurd! This is baseless! If you slander an honest official and cause chaos in the previous dynasty, can you bear the responsibility?" the Empress coldly rebuked.
"Mother, don't be anxious. Let's hear how Ye Yaoyao knows about Imperial Censor Liu and the others."
The Second Prince found Ye Yaoyao interesting; she could even tell him where other people's evidence was hidden, which piqued his curiosity.
[Host, you said it was a deity who told you this.]
The system, fearing that the host might get too drunk, kept giving her pointers.
The second prince walked up to Ye Yaoyao and looked at her with great interest.
"Ye Yaoyao, can you tell me how you know about the crimes of Imperial Censor Liu and the others?"
Ye Yaoyao looked at the handsome Second Prince with a smile on his face, smiled at him, put her hands to her mouth, and told him mysteriously and in a low voice.
"The gods told me."
"A deity? This prince doesn't believe in that." The second prince glanced at Ye Yaoyao, his face still bearing his usual smile.
Ye Jingyang looked at the Second Prince warily, not understanding what he wanted to do.
There are many women in the Second Prince's residence, but he is impotent. You must not reveal this secret.
Find those corrupt officials with no real substance, understand?
