I insist

Chapter 563: Overthrowing

Mrs. Deng was speechless. No one would believe her explanation, but what she said was true.

Deng Yaoyao was just unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to try her luck. Unexpectedly, she actually ran into Yu Huailin and Song Miqiu, but the ending was something she didn't expect.

Seeing that Madam Deng had nothing to say, Yu Huailin continued, "Madam Deng, everyone can see what your daughter is up to, or as I would put it..."

I know perfectly well what these ministers are up to by bringing their daughters here. It seems you haven't heeded my words.

I only want one Empress. I've never taken your petty tricks seriously; I consider you mere clowns. However, what your daughter did today...

This has crossed my bottom line, and I will definitely punish her. Do you understand?

Madam Deng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand."

"Very well, I advise you not to think that just because the Empress is easy to bully, you can disturb her at will. If what happened today happens again, I will show no mercy."

"Step down." Yu Huailin said with a grim expression.

Madam Deng could only leave the tent with her head down. She hadn't expected that not only would her daughter's problem not be resolved, but she would also be scolded by Yu Huailin. It was truly a case of losing more than she gained.

Moreover, she was too ashamed to stay there any longer. After returning to their camp, she packed her things and left, going back to her own home.

The ministers' families witnessed her packing and leaving, but they didn't know why. Soon after, they received the news:

The Emperor issued an edict reprimanding Lord Deng for his lax household management, pointing out that Deng Yaoyao and Madam Deng were shameless, and ordering Lord Deng to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.

This imperial edict immediately reminded everyone of what had happened that morning, and also served as a warning to the other legitimate daughters.

"Deng Yaoyao's actions have really ruined her parents' lives. The Emperor said she was shameless, so who would dare to marry her? She really brought it on herself."

"However, isn't His Majesty's punishment a bit too harsh this time? We've also deliberately appeared before His Majesty before, but he simply ignored us."

Instead of such severe punishment, what's going on?

"Our appearance was purely coincidental. Although it was intentional, everyone already knew about it. But Deng Yaoyao is different."

The Emperor and Empress went out early in the morning; only the two of them should know this, right? How did Deng Yaoyao find out? Even if it was just a lucky guess...

"The timing is too coincidental! The Emperor and Empress had just arrived, and she was already there. Who wouldn't suspect something?"

"Yes, Deng Yaoyao's condition is indeed quite serious, but the Emperor is also warning us. If we continue, we might be the next shameless ones."

Upon hearing this, all the legitimate daughters frowned. Although they longed to enter the palace, it didn't mean they would gamble with their reputations.

Therefore, this imperial decree made the legitimate daughters somewhat give up their plans and no longer want to enter the palace.

Yu Huailin handled the matter without Song Miqiu even having to lift a finger, and in a way that left Song Miqiu extremely dissatisfied.

"This matter was handled well, but aren't you afraid? For the Emperor to have to deal with such a thing... what if the officials found out?"

"I wonder what they're going to say about me again," Song Miqiu said with a smile.

Yu Huailin said, "Didn't I tell you before? There are some things you don't need to worry about at all; I can handle them all for you. I married you because I wanted to keep you by my side."

Instead of having me do all the things you don't want to do.

Song Miqiu leaned against him and smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll leave the things I don't want to deal with to you from now on."

Yu Huailin reached out and hugged Song Miqiu, a slight smile playing on his lips. He loved nothing more than holding her, just being together quietly, even without saying a word, and he would still feel great.

"By the way, how's the assassin situation? Did they find out who ordered it?" Song Miqiu suddenly remembered the assassin.

Yu Huailin nodded repeatedly: "They said they were sent by the Night King, but of course, it was just talk."

Song Miqiu was somewhat helpless upon hearing this news: "I feel like those people aren't quite right in the head. They're so determined to bring down the Night King, don't they find it troublesome?"

"Who knows? Everyone thinks they're smart, but unfortunately, very few of them actually are," Yu Huailin sneered.

"So what do you plan to do? They haven't achieved their goal, so they'll definitely continue. This kind of thing is incredibly annoying, although we don't doubt it."

But you can't stop the others; they'll definitely make you make a decision.

Song Miqiu began to speak.

Yu Huailin narrowed his eyes slightly: "I know, I will come up with a complete solution to this, you don't need to worry."

"Fortunately, only the two of us knew about this. If the ministers had also known about it, they might have said something, especially the person who orchestrated this."

Song Miqiu was having a headache. Solving one problem would inevitably lead to another, and she was truly annoyed.

"This matter will be resolved, so don't worry," Yu Huailin reassured him.

The Seventh Prince did not go out on this trip. He was unaware of the scheme he had been set up against. He stayed in his residence the whole time and did not go out.

"Your Highness, there are guests outside requesting an audience," the steward said.

The seventh prince did not refuse: "Let him in."

The Seventh Prince naturally wouldn't refuse to see someone so late, but he never expected that the person would be Lord Yu.

"Your humble servant greets the Night King," Lord Yu said, bowing to the Seventh Prince.

Although the Seventh Prince was puzzled, he still smiled and said, "Lord Yu, you are too kind. Please have a seat. Did you not travel with His Majesty?"

"Like the Night King, I did not travel with Your Majesty," Lord Yu said with a smile.

The Seventh Prince laughed and said, "I thought I was the only one left in the capital. I didn't expect Lord Yu to be here as well. So, Lord Yu isn't resting at his residence?"

What brings you to me, Your Majesty? And at night no less.

"I have something to discuss with the Night King, of course. Night King, your current situation is not good. Don't you realize that, Night King?"

Lord Yu spoke directly to the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince smiled slightly: "My situation? I don't think there's anything wrong with my situation. It's fine. What exactly does Lord Yu want to say?"

"Is it really that good? Night King, you shouldn't deceive yourself. You are a prince of the previous dynasty. How can the current emperor completely trust you?"

He only granted you the title of prince and allowed you to attend court for the sake of his own reputation; it was merely to distinguish himself from other emperors.

"Could it be that someone as intelligent as the Night King really didn't notice?"
