1148. Chapter 1148 Resignation

Dongqing Kingdom, the capital city.

"Master, there are imperial guards outside, and the entire mansion is surrounded. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today." Tian Jiu walked in from the outside and said to Ye Yiqing who was behind the desk.

Ye Yiqing smiled lightly and said, "If the emperor doesn't let me resign, he will definitely not let me leave the royal capital."

"What should we do?" Tian Jiu asked.

"Don't worry, I still have some things to do. It's not too late to leave after I finish them." Ye Yiqing said in a cold voice.

Tian Jiu could vaguely guess what Ye Yiqing was talking about. He nodded gently, "Master, then I will prepare the things I need on the road."

"Go." Ye Yiqing nodded.

Ye Yiqing was the only one left in the study. He lowered his eyes and wrote a letter. After writing several letters in a row, he put the pen down and called his confidant outside, "Find a way to send the letter before dark."

"Yes, Prime Minister." This confidant is Ye Yiqing's bodyguard. He is a young man who was originally a slave. He was rescued by Ye Yiqing two years ago and brought him home. He personally taught him martial arts and trained him to be his bodyguard. .

Ye Yiqing looked up at the sky outside. When he walked out of the study and was about to go to the backyard, he saw Cao Yu arguing with the imperial guards at the gate.

"I am the Prime Minister's student, why can't I go in to visit the Prime Minister?" Cao Yu asked angrily to the soldiers who were blocking him.

"The Emperor has an order that no one is allowed to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mr. Cao, you'd better not make things difficult for us." The leader of the imperial guards whispered.

Cao Yu said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you going to put the prime minister under house arrest?"

The commander sighed helplessly, "Master Cao, we are also doing things according to orders. Please forgive me."

"You..." Cao Yu's face changed with anger.

"Cao Yu, don't argue with the commander here." Ye Yiqing interrupted Cao Yu and stood behind the door with a faint smile, "What do you want from me?"

When the commander saw Ye Yiqing, he raised his hands and bowed politely, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister."

"I don't dare to accept it. I have resigned as prime minister and am no longer prime minister." Ye Yiqing glanced at the imperial guard in front of the door coldly, then turned to look at Cao Yu, "What's the matter?"

Cao Yu took a step forward and said, "The student heard that the teacher was trapped at home, so he came over to take a look. The teacher was wronged."

The commander who said this couldn't hold his head up. Everyone in the court knew the reason why Mr. Ye wanted to resign. But now the emperor's behavior is so chilling. What can they say as ministers? I'm just ashamed of Master Ye.

Although Ye Yiqing is a civil servant, he is a special being in Dongqing Kingdom. He is capable of civil administration and has been on the battlefield. He is highly praised by civil servants and respected by military generals. If Dongqing Kingdom loses him, it will be like losing his left arm. This is why Li Heng ordered him to be placed under house arrest here.

"I'm not wronged. You can go back and don't wade in this muddy water." Ye Yiqing waved his hand and drove Cao Yu away.

"Teacher!" Cao Yu said with red eyes, "Teacher has obviously been wronged, but yet he is treated like this. The students will definitely unite the world's scholars to seek justice for the teacher."

Ye Yiqing glared at him, "Don't make trouble for me. Don't do these things. I told you, I don't feel wronged."

How could he be aggrieved? Whoever makes him uncomfortable will make the other person even more uncomfortable.

"Teacher..." Cao Yu had a lot to say, but he was surrounded by imperial guards. He couldn't say anything at all and could only look at Ye Yiqing anxiously.

"I will return to Jin Kingdom. You can come to Jin Kingdom to have a drink and play chess with me." Ye Yiqing looked at him with a smile and said.

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, then understood, "Teacher, if you return to Jin Kingdom, please take care of yourself."

Ye Yiqing glanced at him, turned around and walked into the door, "Go back and do your job well."

He walked to the backyard without looking back and saw Jin Shanshan outside the door of the upper room.

"Father." Jin Shanshan bowed, "I heard that they were surrounded outside, and I wanted to go out to see what was going on."

Ye Yiqing glanced at the room and asked, "Is your mother feeling better?"

Jin Shanshan said with a smile, "I feel much better after taking the pills you brought back. I just got out of bed and took a few steps."

"That's good." Ye Yiqing showed a gentle smile, "I've worked hard on you these past few days."

"I should take care of my mother. Father, I'm going to see if the porridge in the study is ready." Jin Shanshan knew that Ye Yiqing was going to visit Zhaoyang, so she took a few bites and left.

Ye Yiqing nodded gently and walked towards the house.

The curtains in the room were all drawn up, and the sun shone in from the window. The whole room was bright and bright, making people feel a little warm in their hearts. Ye Yiqing sat down on the bedside, looking at Zhaoyang who was losing weight, he said softly Say, "Are you feeling better today?"

"Well, it's gotten a lot better." Zhaoyang smiled and nodded, "What happened outside?"

"It's nothing, it's just that some people are blocking our door." Ye Yiqing said quietly, "Don't worry about this, we will leave when you recover."

Zhaoyang sat up and leaned gently into Ye Yiqing's arms, "It would have been better if I had been more careful at that time. I wouldn't have given Li Yu a chance to frame me."

Ye Yiqing held her tightly in his arms, "This has nothing to do with you. Since Li Yu has the intention to harm you, no matter how careful you are, she will find an opportunity."

When Ye Yiqing went to Xiliang, Zhaoyang was invited by the queen to the palace to attend the little prince's first birthday ceremony. At the banquet, Zhaoyang was led away by the palace maid. When she came back, the things on the banquet had been tampered with, and she drank and was raped. The aphrodisiac wine made her whole body feel uncomfortable when she left the palace. Li Yu sent people to kidnap her and humiliate her. Empress Fang noticed something was wrong with Zhaoyang and had people chase her after her. However, Zhaoyang was saved because of drinking. She had a miscarriage after drinking drugged wine, and almost died of hemorrhage. If it weren't for the pills Ye Zhen had left behind, he would not have seen Zhaoyang when he came back, but a pile of bones.

Although Li Heng knew that Li Yu was responsible for the incident, he just punished her under house arrest because she was the eldest princess. It was out of intention to show partiality. When Ye Yiqing came back and learned about the incident, he did not immediately go to Li Yu to settle the score, but resigned directly. After becoming an official, I didn’t want to defend myself in front of Li Heng for one more word.

Damn it! He worked hard outside for Dong Qing Kingdom, but as a result, his wife and children were wronged in the capital city, and the children were gone. Li Heng actually favored Li Yu, and Ye Yiqing suddenly felt that he was making a fool of himself.

Li Heng thought that putting Li Yu under house arrest would protect her. Haha, Ye Yiqing sneered in his heart. He is not in a hurry to leave Dongqing Kingdom now because he has not taken revenge yet. He will not be willing to leave until he completely destroys Li Yu.

As for the future fate of Dongqing Kingdom, it’s none of his business!
