Ye Liuyun was forced to leave by Emperor Qing to protect the Ye family, and was forced to stay away from the capital without imperial decree.
As his nephew, Ye Zhong was bound to be involved.
As for what Li Chengxian wanted to do, Ye Zhong had many ideas, but he still answered honestly.
"Someone, loosen his shackles, apply some medicine, and bring him some wine and food while you're at it."
After saying that, Li Chengxian placed her hand on Ye Zhong's chest.
The sword energy formed from the residual longevity energy within the body was extracted.
Then, with the arrival of a gentle stream of true energy, Ye Zhong's injuries improved somewhat.
Li Chengxian withdrew his hand.
"Alright, just stay put. You've had your fill of suffering, you'll behave yourself now."
I was just trying to ease your injuries.
"I'll ensure your martial arts skills don't decline or deteriorate; with some rest, there shouldn't be any major problems."
A complex look appeared in Ye Zhong's eyes; he had discovered something.
Although I had only met this person a few times, I saw in him a powerful, domineering, and kingly demeanor.
To ruthlessly slaughter everything is the mark of a hegemon.
A king is one who manipulates the applause while simultaneously applying both kindness and severity.
It's unbelievable that such a young man could possess the kind of aura that only an emperor could cultivate.
If he really was a prince, a glint of light flashed in Ye Zhong's eyes as he thought of this.
"Yes, thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness."
"You are flexible, consider the big picture, and act in accordance with the trend. I admire you for some reason."
Li Chengxian smiled faintly, then turned and left.
Soon, Tianquan came in personally and unlocked Ye Zhong's pipa lock, and also prepared a medicinal meal.
Compared to before, the treatment Ye Zhong received was vastly different.
Curious, he sensed Tianquan's strength and was immediately taken aback.
At this moment, Tianquan had just swallowed the pill that Li Chengxian had bestowed upon him that morning, and had already stepped into the ninth rank.
"General, I'm just sitting here all by myself anyway, would you mind keeping me company for a chat?"
Tianquan knew exactly what Ye Zhong was planning, so he smiled and said:
"Alright, Your Highness will forgive you. You are the second person since the Palace Ceremony to have a drink with me."
"Oh, that would be my honor."
Tianquan did this because he received a hint from Li Chengxian, to help the other party resolve his doubts.
As for why Li Chengxian didn't come in person, he was busy continuing his cultivation.
I've wasted a whole night, so I need to make up for it as soon as possible.
After eating a little something, Li Chengxian picked up the books on the table and began to read them.
……
At this moment, Guo Youzhi and Ye Wan had already entered the Princess's residence.
Li Yunrui was also curious, as these two people seemed to have nothing in common, and Guo Youzhi, in particular, had always been at odds with her.
Why did they all suddenly come together?
"Your humble servant greets the Princess."
Li Yunrui frowned. Such respectful manner must mean something's up.
"No need for formalities. The Minister of Rites is always busy, and isn't General Ye Wan stationed with the city guards?"
"Why have you all come to my place today?"
Get straight to the point.
Ye Wan and Guo Youzhi exchanged a glance.
“You said I only found Guo Baokun.”
Guo Youzhi sighed, without straightening up, and shouted loudly:
"Last night, my son accidentally bumped into a nobleman, and now the fate of Ye Zhong, the garrison commander of the capital, is unknown. I beg the Princess to save him!"
Li Yunrui was startled.
It was definitely not a good thing.
The son of the Minister of Rites?
Isn't that Guo Baokun? The Crown Prince actually dodged it.
And most importantly, Ye Zhong killed him. What does that mean?
The only one who could suppress the Ye family to the point of being unable to raise their heads is probably the one on the dragon throne.

"You've offended His Majesty and now you want me to plead for you? You're dreaming!"
Li Yunrui turned around with a flick of her sleeve, as if preparing to see the guest off, and continued to stare at the blooming flowers in front of her.
This was a fine wine she planned to brew herself, with some added ingredients, to send to Li Chengxian of Yuntian Palace.
We must be cautious.
These rare and exotic flowers and trees alone took her a lot of effort.
Guo Youzhi and Ye Wan stood frozen in place.
"It's not that we offended the Emperor. If that were the case, the Ye family would accept it. We also inquired with the Prince of Wei before, and he said there was still room for negotiation."
Ye Wan began to speak.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunrui pondered for a moment and came to only one conclusion.
There is another person in the capital who can secretly plot against the Ye family.
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Li Yunrui's eyes, and she said coldly:
"I know who it is, but who gave you the audacity to plead with me?"
Do you know that the best-case scenario is that I haven't killed you all?
What!
Guo Youzhi and Ye Wan suddenly felt a cold wind pass by; the winter tiger, which was almost in the height of summer, was truly chilly.
Ye Wan was almost in despair; he felt utterly trapped with nowhere to turn.
puff.
Before Ye Wan could even react, Guo Youzhi knelt down first.
He knew that if he couldn't resolve Ye Zhong's situation, Guo Baokun's life would be in danger, and he only had this one son.
That's why they spoil him so much; if something happens, his branch of the Guo family will be completely cut off.
How could a high-ranking official like the Minister of Rites be so childless and without descendants?
Li Yunrui was also stunned.
This is one of the six ministries of the Southern Qing Dynasty, and is about to become the head of the civil officials.
"Get up! If you kneel here, people will think I'm the emperor!"
"Please, Your Highness, save Ye Zhong. It would be a great relief to save my son. I will follow Your Highness's lead from now on."
As he spoke, Guo Youzhi bowed down. For his son, he was willing to abandon even his dignity.
She even cried.
Ye Wan, who was standing nearby, jumped back in fright.
This is a pledge of allegiance, even he wouldn't dare to pay such a price.
Li Yunrui sighed.
This is a dead end.
It's true that Li Chengxian spoils and pampers her.
However, it is impossible to allow Li Yunrui to use his name to gather power.
That's no longer a matter of feelings, it's about exploitation.
Li Yunrui would never do that.
She dared not, for although she was bound by emotional ties, she was also afraid of Li Chengxian's ruthless methods.
"Get up. It was Li Chengqian who told you, wasn't it?"
Guo Youzhi got up and wiped away his tears.
"Indeed, the Crown Prince provided guidance."
Li Yunrui snorted coldly.
"How pathetic. He's completely washed his hands of this. I can even introduce you to someone. I took what you said before as a joke."
That person has a special status; if you were as sincere as you were just now, you might be able to move him.
Guo Youzhi was stunned. This meant Li Yunrui wasn't going to accept him!
How could that be? In the entire Southern Qing court, who doesn't know that Li Yunrui has gone to great lengths to win over all the officials?
If I had the assistance of a Minister of Rites, I would have been overjoyed long ago.
The closer Guo Youzhi got to the truth, the more terrified he became.
From Ye Wan's visit to the Crown Prince's evasiveness, to the door of the Imperial Study, and then to the Princess's residence.
Each step was taken with the utmost care, as if walking on the edge of an abyss.
