Most people have the impression that the eldest prince is a person who is calm and personable when he encounters anything.

It was definitely not the dusty, haggard and trance appearance of this night.

Ye Mujing also knew that no matter how pretentious he was, the sickly madness in his eyes could not be hidden.

Leaving the ancestral hall of the Zhou family to this day, for more than half a month, he has not been free from suffering for a day.

These marks of psychological torture have been deeply imprinted on his body and heart, along with the word "Chen" on his back shoulder, which made him feel ashamed, and cannot be washed.

At this moment, he has only one thought, that is, he can't let Zhou Yinchen die easily.

- That person's life is his own......

This impulse may be dissipated when the first rays of sunlight fall on the world the next day.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Mujing had to rush to the palace overnight.

Because in his life, he has never been so impulsive.

Even abolishing the crown prince for Ling Shang and promising him to be Dong Changyou's pet was a choice made by Ye Mujing in a rational situation.

Why is it so impulsive and crazy...... Ye Mujing didn't think about it, and he didn't want to think about it.

He just wants to follow his most instinctive will, like an unfettered layman, putting aside all considerations and doing what he wants.

Outside the imperial study, the father-in-law, who had no blood but did not show any slackness, saw Ye Mujing and respectfully bowed.

Hearing that Ye Mujing wanted to see His Majesty, his father-in-law asked him to wait for a while, and then went in to pass the ceremony.

After a while, the father-in-law returned outside and waved the dust, "Your Highness Jing, Your Majesty has something important to do......

"It's okay, then I'll wait." Ye Mujing took over disappreciatively, "This matter...... The stakes are high, and I'm willing to wait as long as I want. ”

"This ......"

"Is Lord Zhongshu Ling here?" Ye Mujing changed his mind.

The father-in-law's expression became ambiguous, "Lord Zhongshu Ling has been busy with the case of Guozijian recently......"

Ye Mujing was slightly stunned, and then smiled dismally, "Father has also had a headache about this case recently, right?" ”

"Hey...... Isn't it...... father-in-law sighed, "This case is related to the imperial examination system......"

"Please ask my father to do it again—I'm here to ask for a meeting, and it's also for this case."

The father-in-law stared at him silently for a second, then entered the imperial study again with a slight bow.

After a while, the father-in-law turned back, and this time he asked the eldest prince to face him with him.

The temperature inside the imperial study didn't seem to be much warmer than outside—which meant that the emperor was in a particularly restless mood.

came to the emperor, and there were several books on both sides along the way, which must have been thrown by Ye Hongchu in a fit of anger.

It was not the first time that Ye Mujing had dealt with such a situation, and the flaming frenzy in his heart was endless, and his expression was calm and without any panic.

Ye Hongchu was dressed in a gold-threaded Xuanfu, with a graceful bearing, a cold face, and a sharp gaze looking directly at the prince he most doted on but also disappointed him the most - he had long since stopped treating Ye Mu Ginseng as his own flesh and blood.

"The son visits his father." Ye Mujing respectfully knelt on the Persian blanket a foot away in front of the desk.

"Mu Jing......" Ye Hongchu waved his hand and motioned for him to be flat, "I heard that you have some eyebrows about Guozijian's case?" ”

Ye Mujing got up and stepped forward, still bowing his head and bowing, "That's right." ”

"Tell me what you know." Ye Hongchu casually spread out a notebook, as if he didn't intend to take his words to heart.

"Please ask your father to punish your sons." Ye Mujing's waist leaned even lower.
