Chapter 498 Threats to Death
When the square was so quiet that you could even hear a needle drop, Ye Junran suddenly let out a burst of laughter.

Everyone raised their heads and stared at him.Ye Shengfeng was especially nervous. He pressed the sword with one hand, afraid that Ye Junran would say something that seriously humiliated the old minister in order to protect Su Yun!
"Cao Kexin, what are the rumors? Tell me about it." Ye Jun said, full of provocation.

Cao Kexin said neither humble nor overbearing: "They are all low-sounding words from the streets and alleys. I dare not tell the truth for fear of polluting His Majesty's ears."

"Lawful words?" Under the eyes of everyone, Ye Junran sarcastically sarcastically said, "Master Cao is already a man of his age, yet he still cares about ignorant women's nonsense! It's beyond my expectation !"

"Your Majesty!" Cao Kexin said sadly, "What I'm discussing with you now is not some ignorant woman's gossip, but a major matter that concerns the life and death of the country!"

"Life and death? How come I don't know who will accompany me in the carriage to decide the life and death of the country?" Ye Junran's words were as cold as ice.

"Your villain is far away from a virtuous minister, which is a sign of the country's ruin!" Cao Kexin contradicted each word, "Your Majesty can ignore the early court and important ministers for a woman today, and he will definitely do even more excessive things in the future!"

"You think far-reaching." Ye Jun said sarcastically, "It's not just someone who is so arrogant, dare to say that my queen is not a virtuous minister!"

"Even if a virtuous woman is invited by His Majesty, she will definitely decline! Instead of sitting in the car, ostentatiously smug!" Cao Kexin's words were extremely difficult to hear.

Ye Junran also felt that his patience was reaching its limit.

"It turns out that the virtuousness in your eyes means hypocrisy. No wonder you have been in the seat for so many years, and nothing has grown except for your age!" He reprimanded angrily, and the harsh words followed one after another, stabbing Cao Kexin. Some became angry from embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you insult me, but you can't insult the late emperor!" Cao Kexin said angrily. He has followed the late emperor for more than 30 years, and his family has the approval of "the pillar of the country" bestowed by the late emperor.

"Who insulted the late emperor first?!" Ye Junran squeezed Su Yun's hand, "The marriage contract between her and me was made by the late emperor himself. The late emperor thought she was a virtuous woman worthy of the queen. If you Thinking that she was riding with me is a sign of the country's ruin, so doesn't that mean that the late emperor saw it wrong and did something wrong?!"

"The old minister dare not!" Cao Kexin said with trepidation, he didn't expect Ye Junran to be so vicious, and he used his own way to treat him, forcing him to make a choice!

"Don't you dare? Why do I think you are actually enjoying your current life?" Ye Jun commented sharply, "You are a foreign minister after all, and it is your duty to govern the country and benefit the people! From now on, you are not allowed to Reach out to the harem and intervene in my private affairs!"

"Your Majesty—" Cao Kexin argued for the last time, "As the emperor, none of the things around you can be said to be trivial or private! What's more—the title of the woman next to you is Queen, the mother of the country! Sometimes, she can even act as an agent of state affairs and enjoy the same status as you! A woman with such status, shouldn't she be more cautious in her words and deeds, and be an example for all women in the world!"

"She is already a role model for women in the world." Ye Junran said affectionately, "Confidence, self-esteem, self-love, beautiful but not proud, humble but not inferior, not easy to give in, not easy to give up, mighty can not be subdued, poor and humble cannot be moved." ...Cao Kexin, in this world, you will not find another woman who is better than her and more suitable to be a queen!"

"I only saw her returning with His Majesty, and I didn't know how to avoid it!" Cao Kexin said stubbornly.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Ye Junran didn't bother to waste any more words, and said to Su Yun: "Let's go, ignore this group of old stubborn people who chase after their butt every day and want to replace the late emperor as my father!"

"But—" Su Yun hesitated.

But Ye Junran held her hand tightly and insisted on not retreating!
Seeing such scenes, Cao Kexin suddenly felt a burst of despair and confusion. Could it be that he was really wrong?Or, is the country wrong?

"Your Majesty—please listen to my last advice!" The old man roared hoarsely, "I don't regret my death, but the world cannot be ruined by this woman!"

"If you listen to everything, it will really destroy the world!" Ye Jun said without looking back.

Seeing this desperate scene, Cao Kexin gritted his teeth, and suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve, and——

"The first emperor, the old minister is here to accompany you!" He yelled loudly, stabbing the dagger into the lower abdomen in front of everyone, and then made a long gash!

"My lord! My lord!"

A group of people hurriedly gathered around, and many of them took out life-extending pills.However, although Cao Kexin was in excruciating pain, he was sane.He struggled to push away every pair of hands that were trying to save his life, dragging his blood and chasing Ye Junran to climb more than 100 meters, cursing as he climbed: "I can't bear to see the world be ruined by you, go underground to accompany the late emperor in advance! After I die, Please dig out my eyes and bury them at the gate of the city, I want to watch the army of the Shendu Kingdom break through the gate with my own eyes! I—"

He stretched out his blood-stained hand, trying to grab Ye Junran's foot, but unfortunately, his physical strength had reached its limit, and after waving his hand in the air for a long time, he was finally unable to fall down!
"Your Majesty, Cao Kexin...is dead..." Ye Shengfeng said with some pity, "...According to the rules, it is a capital offense for him to see the king with a knife in his arms. But..."

Hearing the words, Ye Junran stopped, looked up at the majestic city wall, and said loudly: "As he wished at the end, bury his eyes at the gate of the city! Let him see with his own eyes that the world is getting bigger and bigger in my hands. Strong, the God King of Shendu Kingdom personally led the mission to Huangluo to celebrate for us!"

"In addition, let's deal with his affairs according to his identity! As for the two matters of seeing the king with a sword and threatening death, no one is allowed to spread it!" Ye Junran said indifferently, "At any rate, it must be given to the late emperor. Some face."

"Yes!" Ye Shengfeng said excitedly.

Su Yun felt a cold palm.Her intuition told her that the matter of Cao Kexin would not end here, and what happened today would just be the beginning of a series of things to come!
……

Three hours later, the bad news came back to the palace!
In order to show the monarch's importance, Ye Shengfeng led all the veterans to send Cao Kexin's bones home. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, what he saw was a tragic scene of piles of corpses!
Cao's family, including nearly 100 servants, were all slaughtered by a mysterious force within less than half an hour of Cao Kexin's suicide!

Several ministers who had good relations with the Cao family couldn't bear it for a while, and fainted on the spot!

The rest of the people were also filled with righteous indignation and demanded to investigate to the end and punish the murderer severely!
All of a sudden, rumors filled the sky!

The truth of Cao Kexin's death, which should have been kept secret, was spread widely and everyone knew it!

Both Ye Junran and Su Yun were pushed to the forefront!
