Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 28
Chapter 28: I Really Consider You My Son-in-law
Ye Qingshuang also reacted, “I really didn’t expect this good-for-nothing’s scheming to be so deep, he actually secretly won Yan Ji over. ”
“Elder Sister’s judgment is correct, this good-for-nothing is a vicious person, their heart is full of desires for the Crown Prince’s position! ” Ye Qingxuan’s eyes were cold, full of killing intent.
But the next moment, both of them were stunned.
They saw Yan Ji walk to the unconscious Ye Yu, stretched out his foot and kicked Ye Yu’s face, confirming that he had fainted.
He actually took out a white Spirit Fruit from his bosom. Seeing no one around, he quickly rubbed it in Ye Yu’s bl00d before leaving.
“This is…White Spirit Fruit? ” Ye Qingshuang recognized the fruit in the image at a glance.
Her expression then changed, and a memory surfaced in her mind.
That was about half a year ago, Ye Qingshuang had returned to Great Yan once because Ye Xuan was about to reach Foundation Establishment, and she came back to refine Foundation Establishment Pills for Ye Xuan.
And this White Spirit Fruit was the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
White Spirit Fruit is naturally miraculous and cannot be contaminated with bl00d qi. Once contaminated, not to mention the medicinal properties will greatly decrease, even the pill refinement will become extremely difficult.
That time, Ye Qingshuang failed because she used a White Spirit Fruit contaminated with bl00d qi, and almost caused the furnace to explode.
Later, it was found out that the bl00d qi on the White Spirit Fruit came from Ye Yu, so Ye Yu was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison and tortured for half a month. Ye Xuan pleaded for him before he was released.
But now, what’s going on?
Ye Qingshuang was dumbfounded.
Not to mention Ye Qingshuang, Ye Qingxuan was also stunned in place, her face full of disbelief. Yan Ji was Ye Xuan’s man!
And judging from Yan Ji’s actions towards Ye Yu, this didn’t seem to be feigned!
Could it be that the incident back then was directed and acted by Little Xuan to frame Ye Yu?! No… it’s impossible! Little Xuan is so kind, he wouldn’t do such a thing! Absolutely impossible!
“Se…Second Sister, should we continue watching? ” Ye Qingshuang wasn’t stupid, and easily had the same guess as Ye Qingxuan.
She was now somewhat afraid to watch further.
From the previous rescue of Fourth Sister Ye Qingqing, to the White Spirit Fruit matter now being cleared up, she didn’t know what else she would see if she continued watching.
The images in the Recording Stone couldn’t be fake.
“Go back, and watch it with Elder Sister. ” Ye Qingxuan pondered for a while before making a decision. The facts were right in front of them; it wasn’t that she didn’t believe it, but that she dared not believe it was true.
Now wasn’t the time to solve the Bl00d Poison.
“Okay! ” Ye Qingshuang nodded absentmindedly.
On the other side, Ye Yu returned to the Great Qin Imperial Palace and returned to his Palace to refine pills. However, before he could begin, he was called away by Qin Wushuang.
In Xianyang Palace, besides Qin Wushuang, there was another figure.
Qin Han, the Great Qin Crown Prince, with Golden Core Initial Stage cultivation.
Ye Yu glanced at Qin Han, his brow furrowed slightly. In his past life, this Qin Han colluded with Ye Xuan and gave away most of Great Qin’s territory. If it weren’t for Qin Ruoxian’s strong rise in seizing control of the situation, Great Qin would have long become Ye Xuan’s possession.
At the same time, Qin Han was also looking at Ye Yu, the hostility in his eyes was undisguised.
Both being Crown Princes, similar to Ye Qingxuan and Qin Ruoxian, the two were often compared.
The result was that Qin Han was completely defeated, falling short of Ye Yu in every aspect. Even Qin Wushuang was lavish in her praise of Ye Yu, but excessively critical of him.
“Father Emperor, we are formulating national policies, why call an outsider here? ” Qin Han said lightly, with a tone of disdain. His relationship with Ye Xuan was not bad, one could even say they shared a kindred spirit.
Qin Wushuang frowned upon hearing this, glared at Qin Han, but didn’t rebuke him. After all, Qin Han was the Crown Prince, and face must be given.
Then Qin Wushuang asked Ye Yu, “We received news that Great Qin is preparing to implement a curfew, what are your thoughts? ”
“Curfew? ” Ye Yu was taken aback. This proposal had been brought up to him when he was still the Crown Prince, but he had rejected it. “I think it’s not feasible. ”
“Not feasible? Heh, short-sighted, do you know how many benefits a curfew has? ” This curfew matter was proposed by Ye Xuan, and he sent a message to Qin Han that day. After hearing Ye Xuan’s explanation, Qin Han thought it made sense and proposed it to Qin Wushuang.
“Oh? I’d like to hear more. ” Ye Yu smiled.
“If a curfew is implemented, firstly, safety will be greatly improved, preventing foreign spies, or even Demonic Cultivators from taking advantage of the chaos. ”
“Secondly, it’s about population. If a curfew is implemented, the people will have nothing to do at night, and this will naturally increase fertility. ”
“Thirdly, it’s about cultivator reserves. Once the population increases, the number of mortals with Spiritual Roots will also greatly increase. In the long run, a huge cultivator group will inevitably be formed. ”
Qin Han spoke eloquently, and Qin Wushuang on the stage listened and nodded repeatedly, thinking it made sense. Then she looked at Ye Yu.
Ye Yu shrugged indifferently and said, “How is the income of the common people in Great Yan? ”
Hearing this, Qin Wushuang instantly understood, nodding repeatedly, her gaze towards Ye Yu even more filled with admiration. This one sentence hit the nail on the head.
But Qin Han was completely baffled, and asked, “What does this have to do with income? ”
“Take Great Yan as an example, ordinary people can support a family of four, adding one more person will be difficult, and adding two more will lead to starvation. ”
“Blindly stimulating the people to have children, while ignoring their livelihood, will be effective in the short term, but in the long run, it will lead to widespread starvation. At that time, not only will the number of cultivators not increase, but even the existing number may not be guaranteed. ”
Ye Yu explained.
This was also why Ye Yu had refused to implement a curfew in Great Yan back then. Great Yan at that time was even worse than Great Qin now.
Qin Han’s face turned pale upon hearing this. He wasn’t stupid; he obviously knew that what Ye Yu said was true.
Lack of foresight leads to imminent worries; the same applies to a Crown Prince.
“Alright, Han’er, you can leave first. I still have some things to discuss with Ye Yu. As for the curfew, we’ll talk about it later. ” Qin Wushuang waved her hand and said.
Qin Han glared angrily at Ye Yu and turned to leave.
“My apologies. ” After Qin Han left, Qin Wushuang smiled at Ye Yu.
“It’s alright, it’s normal to have such an idea. It can indeed increase national strength in the short term. ” Ye Yu said.
“Alright, let’s end this matter here. How about the Secret Realm? When are you planning to set off? I received news that people from the Yunlei Two States have already arrived. ” Qin Wushuang asked.
Ye Yu thought for a moment and said, “In a few days. Going now would put us at a disadvantage. ”
The appearance of the Secret Realm would inevitably cause spatial storms, especially in the early stages. Blindly approaching, not to mention them, even Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Powers would be killed by the storm.
“Okay, you arrange it yourself. You don’t need to be so restrained. If you need anything, just tell me. After all, I really do treat you as my son-in-law! ” Qin Wushuang chuckled, patting Ye Yu on the shoulder.
After bidding farewell to Qin Wushuang, Ye Yu returned to his Palace Chambers. As soon as he sat down, Xue Li’s voice rang out in his mind.
“Master, it’s not good, something’s happened! ”
