The Physician Wife Who Overturned The World

44. The Imperial Uncle's

News of the imperial decree quickly reached Lian Bingyu's ears. He was so angry that he slammed the teacup in his hand onto the ground. "Whatdidyou say? The Emperor actually betrothed that whore, Yan Jinfeng, to His Highness the Third Prince?”

All along, he had been thinking about how to deal with Li Yaoyao. However, the other party seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. There's no trace of him. The people he had sent to look for him had yet to find any news about him.

Who knew that before she could find Li Yaoyao, the imperial decision to marry would make her feel like she was struck by lightning. He was very angry and angry.

He had thought his greatest enemy was Li Yaoyao, but in the end, Yan Jinfeng suddenly swept across the stage.

“Yan Jinfeng, how dare you snatch His Highness the Third Prince from me! I'll make you die without a burial place!”

Yan Song never expected that by giving advice to Emperor Nanling, he would eventually dig his own grave. Now that the imperial decree for the marriage had been publicly announced, unless Emperor Nanling was willing to bear the loss of his reputation and take back the imperial decree, there was no way this marriage could be changed.

However, if the imperial edict for the marriage was not to be retracted, their Imperial Adviser Residence would have to endure the wrath of Lian Bingyu. What do they have to do?

After learning about the imperial decree for the engagement, Yan Song rushed to the palace to discuss countermeasures with Emperor Nanling.

"Your Majesty, why has the imperial edict for marriage been changed?"

"If you ask me, to whom should I ask?" Emperor Nanling was in a bad mood. Not only did he misdid down the decree, but he also gave Ye Jiushang the chance to be the first to get engaged to Xue Fanxin.

Now that Xue Fanxin was already the fiancee of the Ninth Empire's Uncle, her original plan was impossible to execute. Without Xue Fanxin, his bargaining tool, he did not know how to make Xue Batian fight for him wholeheartedly.

The current situation was quite unfavorable for him. Dongxiang Empire watched his land greedily, and he was unable to find the best general to fight in this battle. He was filled with regret!

If he had known this would happen, he would not have rushed to get rid of Xue Batian in the first place, causing things to deteriorate to such a state.

A long time ago, when the Ninth Imperial Uncle stepped forward to speak on behalf of the Xue family army, he should have sensed it and not rushed to attack Xue Batian.

"Someone, come and prepare a carriage for the Ninth Imperial Uncle's Residence."

"Your Majesty, are you going to meet Ninth Imperial Uncle?" Yan Song asked weakly. When mentioning the unexpected Ninth Empire Uncle, he felt nervous and scared.

In the past, the Ninth Empire's Uncle had often disappeared and was unconcerned with the affairs of the palace. There was no conflict of interest between him and the Ninth Empire's Uncle, so they had lived in harmony all along. But now, the Ninth Imperial Uncle had proposed to the daughter of the Duke's Residence. This meant that the Ninth Imperial Uncle would stand on the side of the Duke's Residence.

No wonder the imperial decrees had changed. It must be something that the Ninth Imperial Uncle had done. Only the Ninth Empire's Uncle could do this without anyone realizing it.

What could Yan Song think, Emperor Nanling could as well. That was why he was in such a hurry to meet the Ninth Imperial Uncle and discuss the matter with him.

However, right now, the Ninth Imperial Uncle was playing chess with Xue Batian in the Duke's Residence. He looks very relaxed.

Xue Batian, on the other hand, was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. He hesitated for a long time, but it was still a loss, making him extremely depressed. “You punk, your chess skills are impressive. I admit defeat, okay?”

“Because the Duke has admitted defeat, I will take little Xin'er away. I guarantee I will send him back unscathed a month later,” Ye Jiushang said with a mysterious smile.

Xue Fanxin watched the two of them play chess and felt extremely bored. He yawned a few times. Just as he was about to fall asleep, the butler suddenly came to report, “Duke, the emperor is here. She's almost at the door.”

Ye Jiushang played with a chess piece on his finger and smiled coldly.. "He should have been looking for me."

When Emperor Nanling went to the Ninth Imperial Uncle's Residence to look for Ye Jiushang, he discovered that Ye Jiushang was in the Duke's Residence. Although he was very unwilling to go there, he had to endure it if he wanted to sit on the throne steadily.

If the Dongxiang Empire really attacked and the Nanling Empire was destroyed, its throne would also disappear. In order to protect her seat, she could no longer be bothered with her little grudge. Even if he felt humiliated, he had to travel to the Duke's Residence.

Xue Batian did not want to see Emperor Nanling at all, so when she learned that he was coming, she found an excuse to leave. He handed the rest to Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang.

After this entire joke, he finally found out about Emperor Nanling. He would never sell his life for such a person again.

The purpose of Emperor Nanling's visit to the Duke's Residence was Ye Jiushang. As for Xue Batian, he did not think too much about it. When he arrived, he only saw Ye Jiushang and Xue Fanxin sitting there playing chess, drinking tea, and eating snacks. They did not even look at him, which made him very angry.

To think that he, the dignified ruler of the country, had actually been ignored to such an extent. This was simply underestimating the dragon's strength and the imperial authority. This crime deserves ten thousand deaths.

But the other party was not someone he could fight against.

Yan Song came with Emperor Nanling. When he saw that Ye Jiushang did not submit to the emperor, he did not dare to think. He also had no complaints about Xue Fanxin, who was sitting beside Ye Jiushang. He just waited quietly, which was enough to make him nervous. If he were to talk to the Ninth Empire's Uncle, wouldn't he be sweating?

It was best for the emperor to resolve the current situation. He could only stay here obediently.

“Uncle of the Ninth Empire, you are the Ninth Ruler of the Nanling Empire. Now that the Nanling Empire is in danger, shouldn't you contribute?” No matter how dissatisfied Emperor Nanling was with Ye Jiushang, he did not dare to speak too harshly. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and use nice words.

“I'm just an unemployed master. Even though I have the title of master, I have no real power. How can a lord who has no authority or military power help you?” Ye Jiushang replied casually while playing chess. There was indifference in his words.

He did not care even if the Nanling Empire was destroyed.

When Emperor Nanling heard this, she was furious, but she still had to maintain her polite demeanor. "Uncle the Ninth Empire, the others may not know, but I know that you have the ability to save the Nanling Empire, as long as you will."

"What if I don't want to?"

"This ..." Emperor Nanling was speechless. Indeed, if Ye Jiushang did not want to, he really could not do anything to her.

Ye Jiushang placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and raised his head to look at Emperor Nanling. He asked solemnly, "Do you know what the name of this game is?"

Emperor Nanling raised his eyes to take a look and completely did not understand why the Ninth Imperial Uncle was making a chess game where he was preparing to lose. That move had clearly cut off his own escape route. "Uncle the Ninth Empire, why did you cut your own path?"

“Because this is called seeking your own death.”

"I don't quite understand what Ninth Empire's Uncle means."

“You understand very well. You're just playing dumb with me. Xue Batian indeed had incredible achievements, yet he had the ability. If he really craved the throne, do you think you can still sit on it for so long? The reason the Nanling Empire is facing a crisis right now is on you. You should interrogate the people who fan the flames in your ears all day and speak ill of Xue Batian. Ask what their intentions are. They did not care about the profits of the state and insisted on targeting meritorious servants. Also, you should go back and reflect on yourself. If you kill Xue Batian, is your throne really safe? The art of the emperor is about balance. If Xue Batian died, the Imperial Advisory House could become independent, right?”

Hearing the last sentence, Yan Song was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his entire body bathed in cold sweat.
