Just after returning to the city, Ye Hongyi heard people gathering and talking in the streets before she could even enter the house.
"Have you heard that the doctor Fang who cured the old prince turned out to be a despicable villain?"
"He arrived in the capital earlier and deliberately didn't take action. He only showed up to turn the tide after all the famous doctors from all sides were defeated and gave the old prince a death wish..."
"This... when you say it, it seems like this. He was born out of nowhere, but he came here in the name of the Imperial Medical Bureau and Huo Shenxian!"
"No way……"
"Then if someone cured the old prince before he took action, how could he show off his medical skills?" Some people think it is too much of a conspiracy theory.
"This is what I want to say about another, more terrifying possibility..."
A man with a sly eyebrow carefully whispered:
"Old Duke's illness could not be cured by famous doctors across the country, but it was cured by a young boy overnight... Don't you think this is fake?"
"Hiss...what do you mean?"
Everyone was surprised and thought of a possibility.
After all, people from the imperial capital of Jinling, especially some scholars, can easily be provoked to have their own whims.
"What this brother is saying... is that the old prince is not ill, but something has been done secretly. Only that can solve it... right?"
Hearing such a voice, Ye Hongyi's forehead was covered with black lines.
She had already seen that there were several people in the crowd who were raised by Duke Ye's mansion.
She just smiled at such conspiracy theories. As far as Xuanjiansi was concerned, there was no undetectable method in the world.
If it was really Fang Jue who directed and acted, he would have been taken to Caishikou long ago.
"Uncle and the others have already taken action..."
Ye Hongyi originally wanted to come back to dissuade him, but unexpectedly they had already taken action and started a public opinion war against Miracle Doctor Fang.
Rumors are always easy to create and spread. Fang Jue is just a white man with no backer to speak for him, so the Ye family can discredit everything.
When things have reached this point, it is considered a war.
What worries Ye Hongyi is that the matter has already been heard by Datian. She realizes that the people in the Ye Mansion can no longer be persuaded. They are just a bunch of shameless people who want money.
But she could no longer pretend not to know. As an official of the Xuanjian Division, and her family was involved in it, Ye Hongyi had to report it to the Holy Spirit.
Otherwise, the censor may be charged with dereliction of duty and cover-up.
Even though the Xuanjian Division has great power, the Censorship Station is full of trolls. They troll whoever they arrest, and they dare to write a letter to the emperor if he makes any mistake.
"And the Emperor's Pavilion..."
Ye Hongyi always had some worries in her heart. She knew that Fang Jue came down from Taihuang Mountain and was a disciple of the old Pavilion Master.
For such a relationship, if Emperor Zun Pavilion came forward to protect it... Ye Mansion would definitely not be able to displease it!
So she went to the palace without stopping.
…
In the palace.
"Your Majesty, Ye Hongyi, the swordmaster of the Hanging Sword Division, is asking for an audience outside the palace." Wang Feng saw the emperor's gloomy face and whispered.
Xiao Pingsi didn't speak, and Wang Feng didn't say it a second time, but stepped aside knowingly.
Just because he knew what the emperor was upset about.
There are three memorials on the desk in front of Xiao Pingsi.
They are from Yushitai, Jingzhao Yinfu, and Xuanjian Division respectively.
They are all talking about the same thing, implying or making it clear that the Ye family has been very negligent towards the doctor Fang who saved the old Duke's life, and is suspected of being accused of cheating the emperor.
This made Xiao Pingsi, who was in a very good mood just after learning that the old Duke had woken up and received the envoys from Western Chu, became a little angry.
He was not offended by the crime of deceiving the emperor.
"Mr. Ye, you have served your country as a soldier all your life. You have experienced life and death many times. You never expected that you would have such children and grandchildren in your old age..."
Xiao Pingsi sighed and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Wang Feng echoed: "Yes, when Mr. Ye was young, he was always at the top of the list of famous generals in Emperor Zun Pavilion... Unexpectedly, his unworthy children and grandchildren would end up losing him in the later years."
Everyone has to say it's a pity.
But Xiao Pingsi just sighed. As an emperor and an arbiter, no matter how regretful he was, he could not deliberately cover up.
If no one reports it, it can be treated as if nothing happened, but if someone reports it, it must be handled appropriately.
"Is there any news among the public now?" Xiao Pingsi closed the memorial, threw it into the basket next to the desk, and considered it a read.
Seeing that the emperor did not summon Ye Hongyi, but first asked about the situation outside, Wang Feng did not dare to think too much and continued to talk about the news that was coming in one after another.
"..." After listening, Xiao Pingsi was speechless for a while.
Even as an emperor, he is used to seeing fights between dragons and tigers, as well as conspiracies and traps, but it is rare to see such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.
After all, as an official in the government or as a person in the world, you all care about the issue of face.
This is the capital city!
Are you really not afraid of being accused? As an emperor, you have to be careful, for fear of being caught.
All the actions of the Ye family completely treated him, the emperor, as if he were blind and deaf.
Or... what's even more disgusting is that they rely on the merits of their elders and think that the emperor can't bear to deal with it, so they do whatever they want.
This is not a good sign.
"Your Majesty, rumors are spreading everywhere, and there are people in the palace talking about the character of that miracle doctor..." Wang Feng added.
He shouldn't have said this, but he knew it, and if he didn't say it, he would be cheating.
As an old slave who had served the emperor for decades, Wang Feng knew very well who the emperor liked the most.
You can be a little nosy, but you can never deliberately hide it.
"Haha... I heard that Ye Hongyi returned home early in the morning, but none of these three memorials were written by her."
As soon as Xiao Pingsi said this, Wang Feng didn't dare to answer it and lowered his head to count the prints on his shoes.
But the ears are erect. Some words cannot be heard, but some words must be responded to immediately.
"Invite her in."
"yes."
Wang Feng walked quickly and walked out of the hall briskly.
After a while, Ye Hongyi came in, and Wang Feng stood a little in front of her, his muscles all tense.
Wang Feng knows that Ye Hongyi is the ninth master on the Emperor Zun Pavilion master list, which means the ninth martial arts master in the world!
"His Majesty……"
Ye Hongyi knelt down and worshiped. She caught a glimpse of Manager Wang, who was ready to take action at any time.
She immediately realized that she had been questioned by the emperor. Wang Feng was worried that the palace would be in danger, so he was so close to her.
Therefore, originally, the officials of the Xuanjian Division did not have to kneel down, but Ye Hongyi immediately knelt down to dispel the doubts of the two people in the palace.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Pingsi asked knowingly.
Ye Hongyi kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I'm a little late..."
"What's the delay?"
Ye Hongyi understood that this was to make it clear that the emperor did not want to be careless and cover up the Ye family's mercy.
She could only say: "I... have something to report. Duke Ye's mansion is suspected of bullying the emperor!"
Seeing that she didn't make any excuse, Wang Feng nodded secretly and took a step back.
Xiao Pingsi: "You are too late... Yushitai, Jingzhao Yinfu, Xuanjian Division... have all submitted memorials. Why are you hesitating?"
"Could it be that when relatives were involved, they lost their judgment and forgot their duties?"
"I don't dare!" Ye Hongyi said hurriedly, "I went to express my gratitude to Divine Doctor Fang first and apologize..."
Now you can make an excuse.
When talking to the emperor, you must admit your mistakes first, and he will give you a chance to defend yourself. Otherwise, you will be shirking responsibility and will not be reused.
Although Ye Hongyi is young, she already knows the principle of accompanying the king and the tiger.
"Speaking of Mr. Fang... let's take a look."
Xiao Pingsi dropped a memorial from the desk and motioned for Ye Hongyi to read it.
He raised his hand and asked her to stand up.
Ye Hongyi picked it up and glanced at the cover: "Memorial from Mount Taihuang?"
"Could it be that the lists of Emperor Zun Pavilion have been updated this year?" Wang Feng was also a little jealous. He wanted to see if he could be on the list after studying hard this year.
But this thing will spread soon. The palace only has first-hand news, so there is no rush...
Xiao Pingsi pointed to the memorial in Ye Hongyi's hand: "It's this year's list. You'd better take a look."
His tone was cold and angry, as if he hated iron.
Ye Hongyi didn't know that he was just updating the list, but he had offended His Majesty again, so he checked it carefully.
The memorial opens, and the first page is the master list...
"Look at yourself, where you are now!" Xiao Pingsi snorted.
Ye Hongyi saw at a glance that she had slipped from ninth to tenth on the master list.
She was a little dissatisfied, so she took a closer look at the master list and found that there was an extra name in the fourth place.
"Norichi?"
"Who is this?"
Xiao Pingsi said coldly: "For a whole year, you have not been able to challenge a master, and you have even fallen one place. Where do you want me to put my face?"
Back then, the emperor promoted Ye Hongyi and let a woman enter the Xuanjian Division. This was something that had never happened before and caused a lot of discussion.
It is because Ye Hongyi is the first woman in hundreds of years to break the monopoly of male warriors on the master list, and she deserves to be honored.
But now, this role model is so disappointing!
Ye Hongyi choked and did not dare to say a word. It turns out that Your Majesty is angry with me...
She felt a little aggrieved... Your Majesty, do you think this is a street fight? In a competition to compete for the world's ranking, someone could be killed accidentally. Can I just find someone to challenge me?
Besides, your Majesty, how many tasks have you arranged for me? I have no time, don’t you have any idea?
