Dongqing Kingdom, the capital of the king.
"My lord, there are imperial guards outside, and the whole mansion is surrounded. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today." Tian Jiu walked in from the outside and said to Ye Yiqing who was behind the desk.
Ye Yiqing smiled lightly, "If the emperor doesn't let me resign, he will definitely not let me leave the capital city."
"Then what should we do?" Tian Jiu asked.
"Don't worry, I still have some things to finish, it's not too late to leave after I finish." Ye Yiqing said in a cold voice.
Tian Jiu could vaguely guess what Ye Yiqing was talking about, he nodded lightly, "Master, then I'll go and prepare the things I need on the way."
"Go." Ye Yiqing nodded.
Ye Yiqing was the only one left in the study. He lowered his eyes and wrote a letter. After writing several letters in a row, he put down his pen and called his confidant outside, "Find a way to send the letter before dark."
"Yes, Master Xiang." This confidant is Ye Yiqing's bodyguard, a young man who was originally just a slave. After being rescued by Ye Yiqing two years ago, he brought him home, taught him martial arts, and trained him to be his bodyguard. .
Ye Yiqing looked up at the sky outside. When he walked out of the study and was about to go to the backyard, he saw Cao Yu arguing with the imperial guards at the gate.
"I am a student of the Prime Minister, why can't I go in and visit the Prime Minister?" Cao Yu asked angrily to the soldiers who stopped him.
"The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the prime minister's mansion, Mr. Cao, please don't make things difficult for us." The commander of the imperial guards said in a low voice.
Cao Yu said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you going to put the prime minister under house arrest?"
The commander sighed helplessly, "Lord Cao, we also obey orders, please forgive me."
"You..." Cao Yu's face changed drastically with anger.
"Cao Yu, don't argue with the Commander here." Ye Yiqing interrupted Cao Yu, stood behind the door with a faint smile, "What do you want from me?"
When the commander saw Ye Yiqing, he cupped his hands and bowed politely, "Your Excellency."
"Don't dare to do it. I have already resigned from the position of prime minister, and I am no longer prime minister." Ye Yiqing glanced coldly at the imperial guards in front of the door, then turned to look at Cao Yu, "What's the matter?"
Cao Yu took a step forward, "The students heard that the teacher was trapped at home, so they came here to take a look. The teacher has been wronged."
The leader who said this couldn't hold his head up. Everyone in the court knew the reason why Lord Ye wanted to resign, but what the emperor did now was too chilling. What can they say as ministers? I'm just ashamed of Mr. Ye.
Although Ye Yiqing is a civil servant, he is a special existence in Dongqing Kingdom. He is able to govern civilly and has been on the battlefield. He is admired by civil officials and respected by military commanders. This is why Li Heng ordered him to be placed under house arrest here.
"I'm not wronged, you go back, don't wade into this muddy water." Ye Yiqing drove Cao Yu away with a big wave of his hand.
"Teacher!" Cao Yu said with reddened eyes, "Teacher has been wronged, but he has to be treated like this. The students will definitely unite with scholars from all over the world to seek justice for the teacher."
Ye Yiqing glared at him, "Don't make trouble for me, don't do these things, I said it, I don't feel wronged."
How could he be wronged, whoever made him uncomfortable, he would make the other party more uncomfortable.
"Teacher..." Cao Yu wanted to say a lot, but he couldn't say anything because he was surrounded by imperial guards. He could only look at Ye Yiqing anxiously.
"I will go back to Jin Country. You can come to Jin Country to drink and play chess with me." Ye Yiqing said while looking at him with a smile.
Cao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood, "Teacher, if you return to Jin Kingdom, please take care."
Ye Yiqing glanced at him, turned around and walked into the door, "Go back and do your job well."
He walked towards the backyard without looking back, and saw Jin Shanshan outside the door of the upper room.
"Father." Jin Shanshan bowed, "I heard that the outside is surrounded, and I just want to go out to see what's going on."
Ye Yiqing took a look into the room, "Is your mother feeling better?"
Jin Shanshan said with a smile, "After taking the pills you brought back, I feel much better. I just got out of bed and walked a few steps."
"That's good." Ye Yiqing showed a gentle smile, "You have worked hard these few days."
"I should take care of my mother. Father, I'm going to see if the porridge in the study is ready." Jin Shanshan knew that Ye Yiqing was going to visit Zhaoyang, so she took a few mouthfuls and left.
Ye Yiqing nodded lightly, and walked into the room.
The curtains in the room were all drawn up, the sun shone in from the window, and the room was bright and bright, making people feel a little warm in their hearts. Ye Yiqing sat down by the bed, looked at Zhaoyang who had lost a lot of weight, and said softly Say, "Is today feeling better?"
"Well, it's much better." Zhaoyang smiled and nodded, "What happened outside?"
"It's nothing, it's just that some people blocked our door." Ye Yi said calmly, "Don't worry about this, we will leave when your body recovers."
Zhaoyang sat up and leaned gently on Ye Yiqing's arms, "If only I had been more careful, I wouldn't have given Li Yu a chance to frame me."
Ye Yiqing held her tightly in his arms, "This has nothing to do with you, since Li Yu intends to harm you, no matter how careful you are, she will find a chance."
When Ye Yiqing went to Xiliang, Zhaoyang was invited by the empress to the palace to attend the little prince's first birthday ceremony. During the banquet, Zhaoyang was lured away by the maid, and when she came back, the things on the banquet were tampered with. The aphrodisiac wine made her whole body feel uncomfortable when she left the palace. Li Yu sent someone to take her away and humiliate her. It was Queen Fang who noticed something strange about Zhaoyang and asked people to chase after her, so she was saved. However, Zhaoyang was saved because of drinking. He had a miscarriage due to the drugged wine, and almost died of bleeding. If it wasn't for the pill Ye Zhen left before, he would not see Zhaoyang when he came back, but a pile of bones.
Although Li Heng knew that Li Yu did this, but because she was the eldest princess, he only put her under house arrest and punished her. As an official, I don't want to defend myself in front of Li Heng.
Fuck him! He worked so hard outside for the sake of the Dongqing Kingdom, but his wife and children were wronged in Wangducheng, and the children were gone. Li Heng actually favored Li Yu, and Ye Yiqing suddenly felt that he was playing a big fool.
Li Heng thought that putting Li Yu under house arrest would protect her. Hehe, Ye Yiqing sneered in his heart. He is not in a hurry to leave Dongqing now because he has not taken revenge. He will leave willingly when he completely destroys Li Yu.
As for the future fate of Dongqing Kingdom, that's none of his business!
