Chapter 207: 206 Cold Palace Abandoned Concubine (4) Second Watch of the Night

In Yuwen Zhe’s heart, Ye Shaohua was doomed to die sooner or later, otherwise the malignant tumor that was the Ye Family could not be removed.

This was also the result of Yuwen Jing’s discussions with his confidants.

Qu Huashang had always been kindhearted. If she developed feelings for Ye Shaohua and the latter died, Qu Huashang would inevitably be heartbroken, which would lead to another set of problems.

Yuwen Zhe lowered his gaze, absolutely not allowing anything harmful to Qu Huashang to happen.

"I will handle this matter," Yuwen Jing said, glancing at Yuwen Zhe. He was aware of the thoughts in his brother’s heart; when Qu Huashang forced the literary master to apologize to her on the spot with a seven-step poem, she had caught the eye of the Imperial City’s noble disciples.

That the prince had such thoughts did not surprise Yuwen Jing at all; in fact, he felt somewhat proud that he had managed to marry Qu Huashang among so many competitors.

The two continued to talk as they walked toward the Imperial Study Room.

Yuwen Zhe’s visit to the Imperial Palace was naturally not for the sake of Ye Shaohua.

"The crown prince from a vassal state will come to our Royal Court in a few days. Coming just as you have taken over governance, his intentions cannot be good," Yuwen Zhe said. "I have already made preparations with the Royal Guard. Does the emperor have any other orders?"

Though the vassal state’s visit was officially to pay respects to the new emperor, Yuwen Jing understood they were here to probe the situation.

If he appeared weak in any way, it wouldn’t be long before the vassal state’s army would attack the city while they were severely weakened. However, this was also an opportunity to showcase the Royal Court’s prosperity.

Yuwen Jing took this very seriously as well.

While they were discussing, a eunuch reported that Laifu had come.

Yuwen Zhe and Yuwen Jing were in the middle of a discussion, and Yuwen Jing had previously stated he would not see anyone else. If it were an ordinary person, the eunuch would have ignored the request, but the visitor was the empress’ most favored attendant.

Knowing how much the emperor doted on the empress, the eunuch dared not delay and immediately reported Laifu’s arrival to Yuwen Jing.

On a normal day, Yuwen Jing would not have found this troublesome, but he had just been on the receiving end of Ye Shaohua’s words and wondered if he had given Qu Huashang too much privilege.

Even though he thought this, he still let Laifu come in with a response.

"This servant mistakenly mentioned that the Phoenix Robe was made of painstakingly obtained gold cicada silk, and her majesty is extremely distressed. She now has a severe headache and cannot sleep," Laifu said with a respectful bow.

Yuwen Jing looked at Laifu and, after a long pause, finally said, "Have Imperial Physician Liu accompany you to Changchun Palace."

Laifu was somewhat surprised. Yuwen Jing wasn’t rushing to see the empress?

Nevertheless, he dared not speculate further, promptly bowed his head to accept the command, and left without once daring to look directly at the emperor’s face.

Only after Laifu had left did Yuwen Zhe speak, "That Phoenix Robe is worth a fortune, elder brother. That woman’s palace gate must be sealed. She’s always been ruthless, and you remember she never blinks when killing. It’s extremely dangerous to leave her in the palace for long. I’ve experienced her martial arts myself; I fear there are few in the Royal Guard who could subdue her."
