Chapter 421
When the sky was dark, five brocade boxes were delivered to Ye Junran.

A little finger was placed in each box, and under the little finger was an apology written with blood.

Ye Junran was very satisfied with this.

Regardless of what these people were thinking when they cut off their fingers, at least they obeyed his order, which comforted his unhappy heart because of Queen Mother Li's reckless behavior.

So, he ordered someone to put away the box and went to Fengyi Palace.

……

Empress Dowager Li, who was discussing with Aizi, Long Nanny and other confidants on how to frame Su Yun, when she heard the eunuchs yelling "Your Majesty is here!" After tidying up his appearance with Ye Chongyan, he stood dignifiedly and solemnly in the center of the hall.

Seeing Ye Junran's figure, Ye Chongyan couldn't wait to kneel down and shouted: "Brother Huang!"

Empress Dowager Li was also full of smiles, and said, "Why does Your Majesty have time to come to my side?"

Ye Jun smiled and said: "I sent a few gifts from outside the palace, I think it's good, so I specially sent them to Fengyi Palace."

"Your Majesty, you can just send a servant for such a trivial matter as delivering things. Why come here in person?" Queen Mother Li said happily, but Ye Junran actually delivered things to herself, which shows that he still cares about himself as the Queen Mother.

Ye Junran didn't answer right away, he looked at Ye Chongyan on the side, and said, "How is my brother?"

"Please trouble your Majesty to be concerned, my brother is fine." Ye Chongyan hypocritically replied, since he was a child, he couldn't figure out the mind of this half-brother, and now that he is divided into monarch and minister, of course he dare not talk nonsense up.

Ye Junran nodded: "If I remember correctly, Huo Yuebing's younger sister Huo Bingxiao is your fiancee, right?"

"Brother Huang did remember correctly, but it's a pity that Huo Bingxiao... She... Ever since Brother Huang ascended the throne, this Huo Bingxiao always felt that I was not good enough for her, and forced her brother to divorce. Now she and I Nothing to do with it anymore..." Ye Chongyan said smoothly, he knew that Ye Junran had almost no interest in women, and suddenly asked about Huo Bingxiao, it must be related to Su Yun's matter!

So not only did he clean up the relationship between Huo Bingxiao and himself in a few words, but he also accused Huo Bingxiao of being a stalker.

"Is there nothing to do with it anymore?" Ye Junran smiled meaningfully, and said, "Why do you sound like you intend to redeem the old relationship, but she refuses to give up?"

"...That was indeed the case. I did try to save her, but she..." Ye Chongyan said awkwardly. The old relationship was not over, and he hurriedly argued, "She repeatedly rejected me and hurt me. No matter how long I am in love, after so many rejections, I should wake up! Besides, I have married two side concubines, the main concubine's The candidate has also been determined...I..."

"What if I sent Huo Bingxiao out of the palace and made you my side concubine?" Ye Junran sneered, he didn't believe that Ye Chongyan, who was always ruthless and ruthless, would suddenly turn into an infatuated man.

Sure enough, when he heard that Ye Junran was going to give Huo Bingxiao to him, Ye Chongyan's face suddenly became weird.

"This reward from the emperor, I... I..." He stammered, "Huo Bingxiao looks down on me, and he is not willing to marry me as a concubine. My God! Unless Brother Huang can give me a concubine who is above the Huo family and has a very stable temperament, otherwise... after the big wedding, my brother and I will definitely have a restless home and sleep and eat!"

"That is to say, you don't want her?" Ye Junran asked back.

Seeing his strange smile, Ye Chongyan quickly said, "It's not that I don't want her, it's just that she refused to marry me as a concubine back then, I... how could I accept this woman again! Besides, Huo Bingxiao is notoriously savage." Willful and lawless! I... When she voluntarily proposed to divorce, I really wanted to keep her, but she refused, so I completely gave up. Looking back on her past behaviors, I even began to rejoice that she took the initiative Retire!"

"That's what happened!" Ye Junran nodded with a smile on his face, and then said to the female official behind the Empress Dowager, "Zhang Shanggong, you should be the one who knows best what kind of virtuous family background a woman hired into the palace must have. yes, right?"

"Women who are recruited into the palace must first of all be of good character and unmarried..." The female officer answered in a smooth manner. Halfway through the speech, she suddenly came to her senses and bit her tongue and looked at the Queen Mother.

Ye Junran sneered and said, "Zhang Shanggong, why don't you continue talking?!"

When Zhang Shanggong heard the words, he knelt down, kowtowed and said loudly: "My servant is wrong! This servant should not have accepted bribes from the Huo family and fabricated that the daughter of the Huo family is virtuous! This servant... I am sorry for the Queen Mother!"

"I know I'm sorry for this palace, so what nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and find a white silk and settle it yourself!" Empress Dowager Li said angrily, and kicked Zhang Shanggong who was kneeling on the ground!
She finally understood why Ye Junran asked Huo Bingxiao abnormally after coming to Fengyi Palace!It turned out that he deliberately set up a trap for himself!

"...Slave understands! Slave will kill herself now!" Zhang Shanggong said with tears in his eyes, and stepped back with three kowtows.Empress Dowager Li's ruthlessness chilled her heart, but for the sake of her family, she could only grit her teeth and commit suicide!
Not long after, the palace people came to report that Zhang Shanggong had drowned himself, and asked how to deal with the bones.

Empress Dowager Li waved her hands in distaste, and said: "This lowly servant girl will dirty the water in Fengyi Palace even after she dies! Take out the corpse, chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

Then he flattered Ye Junran: "Your Majesty, Zhang Shanggong committed suicide in fear of crime, you should calm down."

"When did I say that I was very angry?" Ye Jun asked with a burning smile, "It's you, Queen Mother, who made a big fuss."

"Zhang Shanggong pretended to be the old man in front of me, cheated, deceived others, and tried to tarnish the dignity of the royal family. As the queen mother, I will naturally deal with it severely!" Empress Dowager Li said awkwardly, she hoped that this matter could be resolved immediately. Finish.

Ye Chongyan also echoed from the side: "Brother Huang, the Huo family is a famous family after all, so we need to give some face. What's more, Zhang Shanggong has committed suicide, and Huo Bingxiao was also punished by his sister-in-law to copy the palace rules. This matter That's all for now, how?"

"Is that the end?" Ye Jun laughed strangely.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Li changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, you said that you have something for me, but what kind of treasure is it?"

"It's a very rare treasure." Ye Junran said coldly, and motioned for the person behind him to deliver the brocade box.

"This is—" Empress Dowager Li became even more curious when she saw the exquisiteness of each of the five brocade boxes.

Ye Junran gestured, "Open it and have a look."

Empress Dowager Li stepped forward and opened one of the boxes with her armor.

In an instant, the woman was scared out of her wits!

"...This... This is!"
