The Xi family has been operating in the court for decades, so they are naturally powerful, and their power is not small.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the original owner, who was still the princess and still struggling to win the rightful son, to choose Xiyue Ye, the legitimate son of the Xi family, as her official husband among the many young masters from wealthy families, over the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the original owner came of age, the late emperor ordered her to choose a husband. She originally wanted to choose her sweetheart Pei Yu.
But Pei Yu was just a concubine, and she was the princess vying for the throne and the most powerful to inherit the throne. Naturally, Pei Yu was not qualified to be her official husband.
If she married a concubine and became a real husband, wouldn't she be laughed at by everyone in the world
Even the late emperor would give up on her immediately. In desperation, she had no choice but to choose Xiyue Ye, who had the most powerful backer, and ask the late emperor to grant her a marriage decree.
The Xi family is full of loyal people. General Xi and the late emperor were close friends by fate. They treated each other like sisters in private and were highly respected by the late emperor.
Xi Yueying, the daughter of Xi's eldest daughter, is good at conquering and wielding troops like a god. She is the new generation of war god general of Lingcai Kingdom. She was awarded the title of Divine Power General by the late emperor.
His mother and sister were so powerful, and he himself was granted the title of County Prince by the late emperor. One can only imagine how famous Xi Yueye was at that time, and how tough his backstage was. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was the number one son of Lingcai Kingdom.
She was the late emperor's favorite princess, and Xiyue Ye was the late emperor's most valued brother. Therefore, the original owner requested a marriage. The late emperor sent the old general from Zhenguo to the palace for discussion that night. The old general couldn't bear to go against the late emperor's good intentions. He nodded in agreement.
The imperial decree of marriage was passed to Xi Yueye that night. Xi Yueye didn't want to marry into the royal family, but she couldn't bear to make it difficult for her mother. Thinking that she didn't like the woman either, she accepted her fate and married the original owner.
Unexpectedly, after three years of marriage, they are still in perfect condition.
Unfavored and without heirs, the Mingyue County Prince who was once the envy of everyone, after the original owner ascended the throne, blatantly flirted with the prince from the Prime Minister's Palace, held Pei Yu in the palm of his hand, and completely became the laughing stock of Lingcai Kingdom.
As long as the young masters in the imperial city get together, they will definitely talk about him and laugh at him. Even the palace officials will not take him into consideration at all.
Let’s not mention these things for now, let’s talk about the members of the Xi family.
Previously, it was because of the alliance between the Prime Minister's Office and Ning'an Hou's gang, and because the Emperor favored the Prime Minister's party, that the officials who were close to the Xi family were unable to protect the Xi family, and could only watch the entire Xi family suffer unjust injustice. , were all arrested and sent to death row.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!
The Xi family was too powerful and had long been a thorn in the emperor's side.
The so-called rebellion was just an excuse for the emperor to get rid of the Xi family. Someone just happened to create this opportunity for the emperor, and then the two parties hit it off immediately to achieve this common goal.
The courtiers who were good friends with the Xi family saw it clearly, but were unable to change it. They could only feel a sense of sadness like a rabbit dying or a fox dying.
But now, for some unknown reason, the emperor changed his mind and did not intend to kill the Xi family. Therefore, many colleagues immediately stood up to support the Xi family.
The court was instantly divided into two factions. The courtiers trying to protect the Xi family were quarreling with the Prime Minister's party, and the court was like a bustling city.
All this had been expected. Yun Xi watched with cold eyes. Suddenly, she grabbed a heavy memorial and smashed it on the head of Ning'an Hou Linglan, who was the loudest and most powerful.
Ling Lan was skilled in martial arts and immediately noticed something flying towards her, and subconsciously dodged to avoid it. Suddenly, as if the unidentified flying object had eyes, it hit her head quickly, accurately and hard.
There was a bang, and blood instantly flowed from his forehead.
Her forehead was injured by the sharp horn of the memorial.
The ministers suddenly fell silent, trembling and panic-stricken.
The emperor was always gentle when in court, but this was the first time they had seen her lose such a temper, and it happened to be directed at Marquis Ning'an, whom she had always respected and feared.
It's really amazing. Isn't the Emperor not afraid of Marquis Ning'an today
It seemed that she was really angry.
Being injured in front of many courtiers, Marquis Ning'an sneered again and again, looking at Yun Xi dangerously and intimidatingly.
"Why did the emperor want to hit the injured minister?"
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes without leaving any trace. Naturally, she hurt you because you deserved a beating.
"I am the most powerful person in this court. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous in front of me? If I said that I had withdrawn the imperial edict of the Zhan Xi family, I withdrew it. What? You are arguing so fiercely, because you are not taking my words seriously. Do you take it to heart? Don’t you take me seriously either?"
When she finished speaking, she patted the imperial case hard, and the loud sound resounded, causing all the ministers to tremble subconsciously.
"I don't dare, my emperor, please calm down..."
Many courtiers' legs weakened and they immediately knelt on the ground.
What a joke, this is the Lingcai Kingdom where the imperial power is supreme, how dare they not take the emperor seriously
Yun Xi raised her chin, glanced over the trembling courtiers, and looked at Ning'an Hou with sharp eyes.
"Only you, Marquis Ning'an is the most powerful and wanton in jumping around. If I don't beat you, will I still coax you? Can you bear it?"
Ning’an Hou:…
These words were completely irrefutable. If an emperor coaxed her, wouldn't she be going to heaven
Marquis Ning'an clenched his fists tightly and endured it again and again, suppressing the anger in his heart.
He sneered and kept silent.
In this way, under Yun Xi's tough attitude and fierce momentum, the imperial decree to copy the Zhan Xi family was successfully withdrawn.
The execution turned into imprisonment with Dai Zui. Yun Xi personally supervised it and sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The Prime Minister and his party were so angry that they almost vomited to death, but they had no choice but to wait to renegotiate the strategy after retreating from the court.
…
Let’s talk about Pei Yu.
The fact that his servant had his arms chopped off by Yun Xi last night and was thrown into the hospital did not alarm him.
Until noon today, he stayed in bed until he woke up naturally, and then he habitually called the boy's name and planned to get up.
This boy has been serving him since he was a child, so he is used to relying on him for everything.
However, after hearing his call, the person who came in to serve her was not her servant, but the palace servant assigned to Chenxiang Palace.
Pei Yu suddenly became unhappy. After asking, he found out that his favorite servant had his arms chopped off by the emperor.
The reason turned out to be that the emperor happened to see him beating Fengjun, so the emperor wanted to vent his anger on Fengjun.
Pei Yu was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
Isn't it just to beat Feng Jun
As for cutting off his servant's arms
Is it because he didn't go to bed last night that the emperor was dissatisfied with him
In the past, she would never make him sad because of others, but in Zuiye, she knew clearly that he was his favorite boy, but she still ruthlessly chopped off his arms.
Humph, for the sake of a Fengjun, she actually hurt his own people, so he ignored her.
Pei Yu planned to leave Yun Xi alone and wait until she came to court to apologize to him, but he would never forgive her.
