Chapter 124 Old Madam Ye is going to be the Empress
It was really easy to spread rumors, but it was very hard to dispel them. If this was spread out, what would happen to her? What would happen to the First-Rank General's Mansion? Although it was all true, it was precisely because it was true that she would never admit it.
But Yun Chen just said all the thoughts of the Ye family in public, what would happen if outsiders heard it? Especially the sentence "I don't take the emperor seriously", is it easy to say this?
She glared at Yun Chen, her eyes filled with undisguised anger, and the majesty of an old lady from a first-rank general's mansion also came with it, which was quite shocking.
Yun Chen was not affected by this kind of power at all, and even pinched his fingers. After pinching for a while, he said, "I have been feeling that there is an evil star in Kyoto. The last time this evil star appeared in the First-Rank General's Mansion, I thought that catching that Madam Cui would eliminate the root of the evil, but I didn't expect that there is another one now..."
"Master Yun! It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Before Yun Chen could finish his words, Jun Tao knelt down in front of him. "Master Yun, please stop talking. It's all a misunderstanding. My old lady is just not feeling well. She is definitely not angry with you. Please calm down, Master Yun!"
Jun Tao's words instantly woke the old lady up, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
What's wrong with her? Why did she have to go against the people of the Imperial Observatory when there were so many other people to offend? If they pointed out that she was an evil star, she would be dead for sure! Even if the Empress Dowager spoke for her, it would be useless. The people's spit could drown her, and the court would never let her go in order to maintain stability in the world.
Thinking of this, he lost all his aura and no longer had the awe-inspiring look he had just had.
Yun Chen put down his hand and laughed twice, "It's a misunderstanding. I thought Madam Ye was going to punish the court official!" The old lady took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, "Master Yun, you worry too much. I don't have the ability to do that."
Lian Shi snorted coldly, very dissatisfied: "Don't worry too much, Madam Ye knows it herself. Don't take advantage of Minister Yun's youth and use your age to pressure him. The Imperial Observatory is not a place where people are ranked by age. If you don't believe me, go out and ask around. Apart from you and the Emperor, who else in the world has ever gotten angry with Lord Yun? Humph! You simply don't know your place!"
The old lady's legs were trembling. How could this bring her and the Emperor together? Was it really necessary to be so exciting and scary?
Lian Shi ignored her and turned to Madam Mu, smiling as if changing his face, and said, "Is my voice too loud? Madam, are you scared? Don't be afraid, Miss. I just felt that I was too kind during my previous visits, so that some people forgot where I was from. This is just a reminder, so that I won't break the taboo at the palace banquet tomorrow and embarrass the whole family."
The old lady started to grind her teeth again. She called herself "our master" in front of her, but called herself "a servant" when she was with Mu Qianqiu. How did she rank them? How did she decide who was the king?
She just stood there, listening to Madam Mu chatting with the three of them for a while, and then Lian Shi said, "Now that the invitation has been delivered, there's nothing else to do. It's cold outside, so Madam should go back home early. These are new clothes prepared for the three of you in the palace. They were prepared by thoughtful people. They are beautiful and warm, so don't worry about wearing them."
Mu took a piece of clothing, kept groping at it, and then held it tightly in her arms.
Ye Feiyu also smiled, took the clothes and said, "Thank you for your trouble, eunuch." Then he bowed to Yun Chen and Wu Fei, "My three great masters, I will remember your name."
Wu Fei bent his body even more, "No, no, you are too polite, Master."
Lian Shi pondered and asked Madam Mu: "What happened to Madam's face? It looks swollen to me." As soon as he said this, Madam Ji immediately followed up: "It is swollen! The day when Eunuch Lian came to take Madam Ye's desk, chairs and bed, as soon as you left, Madam took out all the anger she had with you on our Madam and slapped her in the face. The corner of her mouth was bleeding."
The old lady panicked and wanted to say that this was all untrue, but this was the real fact and she could not deny it.
Looking at Lian Shi, Wu Fei and Yun Chen again, they were all looking at her with questioning and angry eyes.
The old lady subconsciously took two steps back, and heard Yun Chen speak first: "I have been to the First-Rank General's Mansion several times, and I thought that I could support the Fourth Miss's family under the banner of the Imperial Observatory! I didn't expect that the old lady didn't take the Imperial Observatory seriously at all."
Wu Fei also said: "We have also been to the General's Mansion. We thought that we could support the Fourth Young Lady's family under the banner of the Fairy Palace! I didn't expect that the old lady didn't even take the Fairy Palace seriously."
Lian Shi sighed, "Alas, I don't know what kind of world this is. The whole world respects Yanhua Palace. I thought that under the banner of Yanhua Palace, the fourth young lady's family could live a good life. I didn't expect that the old lady didn't take Yanhua Palace seriously at all. I can't figure it out. Where does your fearlessness come from, old lady Ye? Are you going to start a rebellion and overthrow the Northern Qi Dynasty? This is going to cause chaos in the world!"
Yun Chen continued, "Even if you want to overthrow the Northern Qi Dynasty, you can't ignore the Emperor. The Emperor and the Dynasty are two different things! Madam Ye is crazy. Do you think you and your forces can overthrow the Emperor?"
Wu Fei laughed when he heard this. "It could be that the soldiers were sent from heaven, or the soldiers on the ground fighting the enemy, no matter how many there are, it would only be a matter of the emperor waving his sleeves. But we have to be vigilant about this matter. The emperor has nothing to worry about, but our emperor has to be vigilant. After all, the old general and the great general left behind so many old subordinates. Who knows if Madam Ye secretly bought people's hearts and secretly formed a few battalions of private soldiers."
Several people talked and praised each other, and soon they told a story about an old lady named Ye who started a rebellion. In the end, the old lady sat on the dragon throne and proclaimed herself emperor.
Nanny Ji was enjoying the fun and asked, "Then there must be a reign title!"
Yun Chen pinched his fingers again, and after pinching for a long time, he said, "Let's call him Ye Sheng!"
Old Madam Ye finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted, collapsing directly at the door of the First-Rank General's Mansion.
Wu Fei took one look and said, "Let's go quickly. Don't let anyone get scammed. If that happens, they'll blame us for pissing her off to death and delaying her ascension to the throne. Let's go quickly!"
Yun Chen and Lian Shi nodded, turned around and left, and "accidentally" stepped on the old lady's foot before leaving.
The imperial carriage finally left. Jun Tao asked people to carry the old lady back to Fuluyuan. She didn't even bother to say hello to the Mu family and almost ran away.
The servant who was carrying the old lady was so anxious that he tripped on the threshold, and the old lady fell again.
The group ran all the way to Fuluyuan and put the old lady on the bed. Jun Tao then drove everyone away, closed the door, and then dared to lie down beside the bed and gently called: "Old lady, everyone is gone, you can open your eyes."
The old lady finally opened her eyes, her dark and thin face turned pale with fear. She grabbed Jun Tao and asked in panic, "Are they all gone? Really gone?"
Jun Tao nodded hurriedly, "They really left. I watched them leave with my own eyes before I dared to bring the old lady back."
The old lady let out a long sigh, and she almost lost all her strength. She grabbed Jun Tao and said, "Fortunately, all the mansions are waiting to receive the invitation to the palace banquet today, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so every household is busy, so no one gathered here to watch the fun. Otherwise, because of the mouths of those three ancestors, the Ye family would be in an irreparable situation."
Jun Tao was also filled with fear, and even her voice was trembling. "They are so bold, they are blatantly making up stories, and we have no way to stop them. What should we do if they continue like this in the future?"
The old lady didn't know what to do. She only knew that she had escaped today by luck. Next time she met those three people, she would definitely take a detour. If she couldn't avoid them, she would have to say nothing, otherwise she didn't know what they said would get her into a lawsuit.
She lay on the couch, looking at the beams of the big wooden couch, feeling so depressed.
When the old man was around, he always disagreed with her. Whenever the two of them discussed something, it would end in a big fight.
For example, the old man disagreed with her choice to get close to Empress Dowager Li and to support the Sixth Prince.
In the eyes of the old man, the title of His Royal Highness the Prince is useless. As long as the emperor is still in power, the only person the Ye family must be loyal to is the emperor. Even if the emperor is seriously ill, as long as he has not appointed a crown prince, the Ye family must not express their position. But she doesn't think so. In her opinion, the country will be handed over to the next generation sooner or later. The Ye family has a large number of troops and is the common choice of all the princes who covet the throne. Only with a strong backer like the Ye family can the throne be won.
The Sixth Prince is the legitimate son. In addition, Madam Xiao of the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion is a distant relative of the Li family and is also close to Empress Dowager Li. Therefore, she believes that it is the right thing for the Ye family to take this path and protect the legitimate son.
Unfortunately, the old man always disagreed, so she had a hard time on this path.
Later, the old man died. She personally visited many of the deputy generals' former subordinates within a month, trying to persuade them with words of friendship and reason. In short, she tried every possible way to make those former subordinates remember that she was General Ye's widow and pass on their affection for General Ye to her.
People tend to be nostalgic, and even if the old general had a disagreement with his wife at home, such matters could not be discussed in the military camp.
Therefore, for those soldiers, the general's widow must be taken care of. If Madam Ye has any requests in the future, they will rush forward to help as long as they can, and will never let the old general feel disappointed in his grave.
However, unexpectedly, before the plan was implemented, the late emperor died and the Sixth Prince was deposed.
"This is all fate!" The old lady sighed, "I am unlucky. All the things I have been secretly planning for many years failed at the last moment."
Jun Tao also sighed and felt sorry for the old lady, but she was thinking about something else at the moment...
