C197 (1/2)

Emperor Ruikang's action was to pour another bucket of oil on the already lit bonfire.

Inside the Third Prince Palace, the Madame Zheng's eyes were completely red as she looked at Ye Jingche: ”Are you still hesitating? For your sake, the last remnants of the Zheng Family's military might have been withdrawn. ”In the future, the Zheng Family will be like a tiger without teeth or claws. Anyone can bully them.

Thinking that Ye Jingche making a move on Dong Shu would actually affect the Zheng Family, Madame Zheng's heart had always been bleeding.

She was a daughter of the Zheng Family. For the sake of her son and the Zheng Family, she had endured in the Third Prince Palace for so many years.

He hadn't thought that His Majesty would take the last bit of military power from the Zheng family at this critical moment.

After the Zheng Family lost their military power, they would gradually lose their status in the imperial court. Without status, what would happen to the descendants of the Zheng Family in the future?

What would she do if her son lost the support of outsiders?

Madame Zheng was infuriated inwardly, but her expression naturally revealed a little unhappiness. Adding to what she had said before, it caused Ye Jingche, who was seated at the head's side, to be even more unwell.

”What do you mean? Do you think I'm implicating the Zheng Family? ”Since that's the case, you can go back to the Zheng Family while I'm still in Third Prince and haven't been taken out yet.”

Just as Ye Jingche finished speaking, the originally angry mood of the Madame Zheng immediately stopped, and after that she instantly changed her mood. She looked at Ye Jingche and asked: ”What? Are you unhappy about what I've said? Back then, I had warned you before that the imperial family's attitude towards Dong Shu was too weird, and it would be best if they didn't lay their hands on her. But did you hear that? ” Finished speaking, Madame Zheng did not care about Ye Jingche's ugly expression and continued: ”Why am I so angry, it's all for you, for our brother Rong'er.”

Hearing Madame Zheng's words, Ye Jingche's originally ugly expression finally became slightly better.

Although Ye Jingche did not control himself with regards to women, he still valued his two grown sons. Of these, his first son was naturally more important.

Hearing Madame Zheng's words, she thought that if she was truly adopted out, then in the future, his eldest son might even inherit the throne, but what about the son born to another side concubine?

As for the daughters of the concubines, Ye Jingche didn't really care about them at all. However, he couldn't help but think that if he really could sit in that position, not only would his eldest son become the crown prince, he would also become the king's second son. As for the daughters of the concubines, they would naturally become princesses.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Jingche found it harder to calm down.

Seeing that Ye Jingche did not say a word, and was obviously thinking about something, Madame Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Madame Zheng understood in her heart that in this situation, she could only advise Ye Jingche to go all out.

How could a throne be worthy of her son? Her son was going to be the crown prince, and in the future, he would definitely ascend to that position.

Only then could she sit on the throne of the Empress Dowager and become the most respected woman in the world.

Other than the peace in Third Prince Palace, the Xu Family and Fifth Prince Palace were also not peaceful either.

In the Fifth Prince Palace, a family of five all sat down to eat together. The originally happy atmosphere, however, was due to this royal decree of the Emperor Ruikang, causing Ye Jingxing's face to turn ugly.

Ye Shuo looked at his elder brother at the side, and then looked at his parents who were at the opposite side. Only then did he muster up the courage to speak: ”How about, I accept this bit of military authority?”

”Nonsense!” Just as Ye Shuo finished speaking, Ye Jingxing immediately opened his mouth and scolded him.

Hearing Ye Jingxing's reprimand, Ye Shuo was not afraid at all. He glanced at his big brother, whose expression had not changed at all, and said: ”Even if I do not accept now, I will still have to take charge of some of the military power. With the emperor grandpa's personality, he would only be relieved if the Ye family had the military power. At most, he will just be cousin Yanhao. After all, he has half the bloodline of the Ye Family. ”

Ye Jingxing's family all knew that Ye Shuo's words were true, but he couldn't surpass Xu Shiqiu and the other seniors and extended his hand towards the military.

After Ye Jingxing finished reprimanding Ye Shuo, he also realized that Ye Shuo's words just now were on purpose.
