C315 (1/2)

The guard did not dare to be negligent and informed the eunuch at the door. The eunuch also received Chen Mingxi's order to slow down before entering to report to Ye Feihan.

Chen Mingxiong held Ye Feihan's arm and was in a good mood playing chess with him. When she saw the young eunuch come in humbly, she did not lift her white fingertips and placed the white jade chess piece on the ebony board.

”Your Majesty, you've lost.”

At this moment, Ye Feihan was worrying about the fluorite mine. Fluorite is a hard commodity to sell abroad. Every year, Westerners will buy a large amount of fluorite from Xuanzhou. Fluorite mines were managed by the Crown Prince, and were not allowed to circulate among the people. Ye Feian had discovered the fluorite mine a long time ago. He had given out funds to secretly build a spy network for external businesses and had secretly arranged for it to be given to Minister Hu. The reason Minister Hu came to Grand Dominance this time was because he had discovered that Ye Feian had the heart to disobey.

He had expected this long ago, that Endless Night had other intentions in mind …

Otherwise, how could he have exhausted his mental and physical strength to create an iron plate in the sixteen prefectures of the Mountain Sun Sect under the eyes of Ye Lianhe? This action of his had not only prevented Ye Lianhe from spying, but also blocked his supervision.

Looking at the note that Minister Hu had handed over a few days ago, the unease in Ye Feihan's heart grew.

Ye Feihan had perfectly inherited his father's sentimentality and suspicion, so no one would believe him. Not to mention his younger brother, who had already exposed his identity. The reason why he chose to be patient was only to deal with this disaster with a fatal blow in the future.

Once a person's heart had been planted with the seeds of doubt, it would be difficult for them to maintain their calm.

Chen Mingxiu looked at the imperial report in Ye Feihan's hands with a frown. She was very happy, so she forced down the corners of her lips, pretending to be in a hurry to resolve the problem for Ye Feihan.

There's always a way. There's always a way. Your Majesty, do you want to take a sip of ginseng soup to rest for a while?

Ye Feihan frowned with worry as he thought of a way to fly in the sky without saying a word. Chen Mingxi didn't get angry. Instead, he considerately and generously reached out his hand to add some incense to the gold-plated dragon incense burner on the table in front of Ye Feihan. He put away the chess pieces and stood aside to grind the incense for Ye Feihan.

Ye Feihan remained silent, but she also did not speak. Ye Feihan's heart ached the most, but he also liked Chen Mingxi's appearance of not fighting over anything, not wanting anything, not wanting anything. It was just like how a common woman revered and valued her husband. It was something that the women of the imperial harem, who only knew how to fight for their mothers' interests, did not possess.

”Your Majesty, Empress.” The eunuch entered the room and reported, ”Imperial Consort Jin wishes to seek an audience.”

Chen Ming was half-relying on Ye Feihan to study ink. Ye Feihan heard the eunuch's words and thought of Imperial Concubine Jin's haggard and miserable appearance, and waved his hands in annoyance. ”I don't want to see you, Imperial Concubine Jin. As for the empress, did she forget about the harem just because she was too engrossed in the banquet? ”

The eunuch glanced at Chen Mingxi, who gave him a wink. ”The imperial concubine told this servant that if His Majesty doesn't want to see her, he'll have to kneel before the foreign minister.”

Mo Sha's hand paused, and a thoughtful and reluctant smile instantly appeared on Chen Mingxi's face. ”Elder sister, I presume you have something important to discuss, right? If Your Majesty had invited elder sister over to take a look.” After all, even the Emperor's eldest son, the Spirit of Heaven, doesn't want his mother to … ”

When he thought of his son, who had died early, Ye Feihan's gloomy expression eased a bit.

”Serve Imperial Consort well, let her go back.”

Ye Feihan didn't plan to meet Imperial Consort Jin. Minister Hu was currently losing his Sacred Heart and was rolling back to Grand Dominance in a sorry state, pretending to investigate the situation of the vassal lords. The empress had openly cooperated with Ye Feian, and now meeting Imperial Consort Jin was no different from taking the initiative to expose herself. It would be a waste for Minister Hu to lie low and hibernate.

Imperial Concubine Jin was scared and had a high fever in the cold night wind. She became muddle-headed. Remembering the dying jade, she stubbornly knelt on the cold stone steps, unable to be pulled up by anyone. Under the pitiful gazes of the eunuchs, she cried for Ye Feihan.

”Your Majesty! Your Majesty!” ”Ye Feihan!”
