Chapter 214: 213 Cold Palace Abandoned Concubine (11) First Watch of the Night

Hearing General Ye’s words, Yuwen Jing felt as if the blood in his body was about to solidify.

At this moment, he couldn’t even bring himself to look up, let alone move; the box holding the military talisman felt as heavy as a thousand catties.

Seeing Yuwen Jing silent, General Ye cautiously glanced at him, his expression changing slightly, "Your... Your Majesty, is the Noble Consort, is she not convenient to meet this subject?"

The ever-fearless General was actually somewhat nervous, however, Yuwen Jing saw nothing out of place with him.

Everyone in the Imperial City knew how much the Ye Family father and son doted on Ye Shaohua.

It was not hard to guess that General Ye, having returned in triumph, would want to see Shaohua.

But what could Yuwen Jing say? Could he tell General Ye that your daughter has been locked up in the Heavenly Prison for days and nights?

The father and son of the Ye Family had loyally done their duty for the Royal Court, even their only son was crippled, and what was he doing? Not only had he discarded their daughter, but he had also locked her up in prison.

"General," Yuwen Jing simply had no face to say it, just deeply bowed to General Ye, "We will have Shaohua return to the General Residence soon."

Seemingly receiving this news, General Ye finally expressed his thanks joyfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Royal Guards outside had already withdrawn under Yuwen Zhe’s orders.

After General Ye left, Yuwen Jing slumped into the chair, completely drained. He looked at Yuwen Zhe, who was also unable to recover his senses, and chuckled bitterly, "Younger brother, this time we’ve made a terrible mistake!"

Yuwen Zhe hadn’t quite reacted himself; he just stared at the military talisman in Yuwen Jing’s hand, thinking about the words he’d forced out of Ye Shaohua over the past few days, and suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Yuwen Jing didn’t see his expression and directly issued an order to bring Ye Shaohua out of prison. He didn’t take her to the Cold Palace, but to one of the Four Palaces, and instructed a group of people to take good care of Noble Consort Ye.

However, hesitating, he didn’t dare to see Ye Shaohua; he simply had no face to see her.

He could only delay it, day by day.

Yuehua Palace was the leading palace of the Four Consorts, previously inhabited by the Previous Emperor’s most favored consort, the mother of the Seventh Prince.

Thus, even though it was not the Empress’s Changchun Palace, it was even more luxurious and magnificent.

The Previous Emperor had only recently passed away, and the lavishness of Yuehua Palace remained undiminished.

However, there were few people; basically, all those from Shaohua’s palace had moved to Changchun Palace, and now only the palace maids temporarily assigned by Yuwen Jing were left.

Shaohua had taken a bath and changed into fresh clothes; Imperial Physician Liu was tending to her wounds.

As he bandaged her, he couldn’t help but gaze curiously at the Noble Consort Ye, who had been cast into the Cold Palace and then thrown into the Heavenly Prison, yet she had actually been released, and not only that, but she was now residing in the much-envied Yuehua Palace.

Especially considering the unyielding aura coming from this Noble Consort, Imperial Physician Liu knew she must be an extraordinary person.

Meanwhile, General Ye had left the Palace Gate completely unscathed.

Immediately following was the new emperor’s reward: exotic treasures, fine silks, and a large amount of gold and precious medicines, one batch after another being sent into the Ye Family.

Not only that, but Yuwen Jing also ordered most of the staff from the Imperial Hospital to stay at the Ye Family’s residence, until Young General Ye was completely out of danger.

The news in the Imperial City could not be hidden from those cunning and crafty individuals, and within half a day, everyone knew that the famous Ye Family was not only not suppressed by the emperor, but was also highly favored.

Furthermore, Ye Shaohua was not only released from prison but had also moved into Yuehua Palace.

Those who stood with Grand Tutor Qu could barely contain themselves.

Almost none could wait for the next morning’s court session, and these senior ministers submitted petitions to see the emperor.

Yuwen Jing was troubled by the affairs of the Ye Family and at this time did not want to see these ministers, nor did he want to listen to their clamor.

"Your Majesty, you cannot ignore Grand Tutor Qu and the others," in the Imperial Study Room, Yuwen Jing’s confidant and chief counselor, the Right Minister, shook his head, "because it’s not just Grand Tutor Qu alone; there are also the Left Minister and the Secretaries of the Civil Administration, Revenue, and Works. These are all pivotal people in the court. Now that you have just ascended the throne, others may be ignored, but you cannot ignore these senior ministers."

Hearing the Right Minister speak, Yuwen Jing suddenly realized that the power entwined with the Qu Family was too great.

The Qu Family, the Left Minister, and the heads of the Civil, Revenue, and Works departments had banded together, already occupying half of the Royal Court.
