However, he was suspected of treason after all. Even if he was not killed, it would not be a loss if he took the opportunity to impose a heavy punishment.

So the emperor immediately issued an order to remove Ye Xuanchen's military power and demote him to a commoner.

The pale-faced Shen Chenbi was taken back to the sky prison again, but this time the jailer changed Shen Chenbi to a clean cell with a simple wooden bed and a pair of tables and chairs, which was suitable for her to recuperate.

Sun Xuemei, on the other hand, took advantage of Shen Chenbi and was imprisoned next door to her.

Although this cell is not as comfortable as the boudoir in the mansion, it is still much better than the previous cell.

Because of the emperor's oral instructions, the queen and Zhaohua did not cause trouble again, and Shen Chenbi lived a stable life.

Within a few days, battle reports came from the north, saying that they were fighting Daxia and the barbarians, and they were defeated one after another.

After hearing the news, the emperor was so anxious that he could not sleep at night.

Just when he was worried, news came that Su Ming had fled back to Beijing overnight.

The barbarians were already fierce. Su Ming only knew how to fight on paper and had little actual combat experience, so his defeat was reasonable.

What's more, Su Ming invited himself to fight in this battle. If he were blamed, it would definitely chill the hearts of the soldiers.

By then no one in Daxia will be willing to stand up!

Thinking of this, the emperor had to suppress the anger in his heart and paced back and forth in the imperial study room, feeling impatient.

But he didn't expect that what made him anxious was yet to come.

Early the next morning, many people stood outside the city gate. As soon as the city gate opened, these people squeezed in with all their strength.

Before the soldiers guarding the city could suppress them, many refugees fled in.

After the refugees entered the city, the entire capital became smoky!

After hearing this, the emperor had a headache and quickly summoned his ministers to make suggestions.

But facing so many refugees, the ministers were helpless and no one dared to stand up.

Seeing this, the emperor was furious. He slapped the table with his big hand and said angrily: "Now is the time when Daxia is in crisis, but no one dares to stand up! What use do I want from you?"

After hearing this, the ministers all looked at each other.

After that, they all knelt down towards the emperor and said in unison: "I beg the emperor to take action and the King of Chu to fight!"

But not long ago, the King of Chu had just been deposed as a commoner by him. If you go to ask him now, wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face?

The emperor's face turned livid, but looking at the room full of civil and military ministers, he found that there was really no one he could use.

At the request of all the ministers, he had no choice but to put down his dignity and go to Ye Xuanchen.

When the emperor found the person, Ye Xuanchen was wearing plain clothes, but even so, it was difficult to conceal the cold nobility on his body.

"What kind of wind has brought the Emperor here?" Ye Xuanchen just glanced at the Emperor lightly, with no expression in his eyes.

Hearing this, the emperor's face stiffened, and he smiled dryly at Ye Xuanchen and said: "The King of Chu must have heard about it. Our country has been defeated in successive battles. Now the refugees have fled to the capital. If this continues, the land of Daxia will not be protected. I am afraid today I came here just to ask the King of Chu to lead his troops into battle, repel the enemy troops, and defend the territory!"

Ye Xuanchen raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said sarcastically: "I'm afraid your emperor may have remembered wrongly, there is no King of Chu here, only the common people Ye Xuanchen, the land of Daxia and me What's the matter?"

"I know that you feel aggrieved, but the matter at this time is so important, how can you be a child's play?" The emperor's expression changed, and he said to Ye Xuanchen with a gloomy expression.

Ye Xuanchen tapped the table with his fingertips, with a nonchalant look on his face, and said calmly: "The land of Daxia is the emperor's, and how it is guarded is the emperor's business. If the emperor has the skills, it is better to go back and think about it. Think about who else is available in this court!"

Seeing him like this, the emperor shivered with anger and immediately threw up his sleeves and left.

Looking at the emperor's walking back, Ye Xuanchen curled his lips, as if everything was as expected.

Seeing the barbarians rushing towards the capital like breaking bamboo.

Even if the emperor was dissatisfied with Ye Xuanchen, he did not dare to say harsh words and offend others severely.

But at this moment, Ye Xuanchen has no intention of sending troops, which is a bit difficult to handle.

Suddenly, the emperor remembered someone.

Soon after, Master Wen came to the door.

When I was young, I heard that the Grand Master once taught Ye Xuanchen, saying that once he is a teacher, he will always be a father. He must give it to the Grand Master's face!

When he saw Grand Master Wen, Ye Xuanchen had already guessed the purpose of his trip.

As expected, when they met, Grand Master Wen recounted his achievements over the years and praised him to a high point.

Then the conversation changed, Grand Master Wen talked about the barbarian war and persuaded Ye Xuanchen to send troops.

Ye Xuanchen did not refuse directly. His face was full of sadness, his hands were clenched into fists, and he said to Grand Master Wen: "I have been taught by Grand Master since I was a child, so I understand these principles. But now, my wife is in trouble." How can I leave her when she is tortured in prison? Xuan Chen just wants to keep his wife and protect her health for the rest of her life."

After hearing this, Master Wen was slightly startled.

Then, Ye Xuanchen poured out all the bitterness in his heart.

After hearing this, even Master Wen felt a little sad and angry.

Soon after, Master Wen hurried back to the palace.

The emperor stepped forward to inquire about the result, but was scolded by Grand Master Wen, "Duke Shen led troops to fight and made many achievements. Now that Duke Shen's body is still cold, even if his daughter is at fault, the emperor should not make things difficult for his daughter like this. Confused, the emperor is confused!"

Hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed in the emperor's eyes.

In front of Grand Master Wen, he could not help but nod, "What Grand Master said is true, but I just wanted to detain her first and wait to find out the truth before making a decision. Who would have thought that that ignorant woman would actually execute her in private! Only then did I It became so embarrassing.”

After saying this, the emperor sighed deeply, as if he was also a victim.

His words directly put all the blame on the queen. He is really a hypocrite.

"If you want King Chu to change his mind, your Majesty must handle this matter properly, otherwise Daxia will probably perish!" Master Wen sighed, dropped these words, and turned around to leave.

He has already told the emperor the method. As for what to do next, it is up to the emperor.

The emperor's eyes were fixed on Master Wen's leaving figure, his eyes were a little distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, there was a noise in Zhaoyang Palace.

"If you hadn't secretly intervened in this matter, how could it have led to the current situation? I advise you to be more peaceful in the future, otherwise even the death of Grand Master Su will not be able to save you!" The emperor glared at the queen fiercely and warned her.

The queen's eyes were as dark as water, and she looked at him and sneered, "How could I act like this without the emperor's instructions?"

"Don't say anything more, I will let you go, and you can take care of yourself in the future!" After saying this, the emperor waved his sleeves and left without mercy.
