You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman-Chapter 1004 (Hanging on the City Walls)

Chapter 1004 (Hanging on the City Walls)

Huang Fei squinted slightly at Ye Hua, "It seems that Prince Ye has lived comfortably for the past millennium."

"Not bad," Ye Hua's tone remained indifferent, maintaining a steady emotional line, which irritated Huang Fei a bit.

Huang Fei nodded and smiled, "By the way, Prince Ye, there's a surviving old subordinate of yours. He heard about your return today and came to see you."

Old subordinate?

Huang Fei was probably trying to stir up something again, knowing well that Ye Hua had amnesia, yet mentioning an old subordinate.

"Oh? I'd like to meet him," Ye Hua said softly, playing along with the emperor's game.

With a "commanding shout" from the eunuch, a middle-aged man walked in. He wore plain clothes, not very splendid, and his face was deeply wrinkled, like scars etched into his skin. Despite no longer being on the battlefield, a faint aura of killing intent emanated from his tiger-like eyes, proving he was a seasoned warrior.

Ye Yuanqing looked at the man entering, feeling puzzled. He didn't recognize this man. While his elder brother had brought home some old comrades for a drink in the past, he had never seen this one before.

"Commoner Yang Yao pays respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be prosperous!" Yang Yao stopped in the middle and knelt, both knees touching the ground.

"Rise," Huang Fei said with a faint smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Yao stood up, bowing his head slightly.

"Yang Yao, General Ye used to sit here. Why didn't you greet him when you came in?" Huang Fei spoke, obviously targeting Ye Hua again.

Yang Yao kept his head lowered and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, Prince Ye and General Ye are different!"

These words caused a commotion throughout the room. It was evident that the emperor had arranged this to distinguish the true from the false.

"Oh? Explain yourself, Yang Yao." Huang Fei inquired, looking directly at the man. It was clear he intended to use this to provoke Ye Hua.

Yang Yao remained composed and replied, "Your Majesty, I dare not lie. I'm just speaking the truth!"

As these words came out, the whole hall erupted in a stir. It was apparent that the emperor had brought Yang Yao as a pawn, and his intentions were clear.

Huang Yun felt secretly delighted. This must be another move by his father.

Huang Fei's expression darkened, and he sternly rebuked, "How audacious! To dare show disrespect to Prince Ye!"

Ye Hua found it amusing. In the realm of acting, who could be a match for him?

"I don't dare, but I speak the truth!" Yang Yao remained firm, displaying an air of righteousness.

Huang Yun suddenly spoke, "Insolent! How dare you speak arrogantly in front of the Emperor!?"

Huang Fei gave his eldest son a glance, and the latter immediately trembled, quickly taking his seat. The warning from his father was quite apparent.

Huang Yun also realised that his second brother had misunderstood earlier.

"Yang Yao, tell the truth then! If you're lying, it's a crime of deceiving the emperor!" Huang Yun coldly declared. It was time for him to step in. His father had set the stage, and now he had to play his part.

"I don't dare deceive. I'll speak the truth!" Yang Yao asserted.

Ye Hua was curious about how this "old subordinate" planned to deceive him. Hopefully, he wouldn't be disappointed!

Yang Yao suddenly clasped his hands, speaking with a tone filled with sorrow, "Hearing that General Ye narrowly escaped death, even returning to the capital, as a survivor, I am overjoyed! Because General Ye can serve the Emperor again. However! General Ye has disappointed the departed spirits!"

With Yang Yao's words, everyone present began to ponder. Why would the departed spirits be disappointed?

"After General Ye returned, he never paid respects to those departed spirits. Back then, if it weren't for the deputy generals sacrificing themselves to protect General Ye, he might not have survived. However, General Ye has shown no concern for those who saved his life, including the deputy generals and the hundred thousand soldiers. Such a general, how can he not let the departed spirits feel heartbroken?"

Ye Yuanqing's expression became increasingly serious as he listened. The emperor seemed intent on tarnishing his elder brother's reputation; this was truly ruthless.

After all, his elder brother held a high position in people's hearts. If he carried an unjust reputation, it would be a form of indirect blow.

Little Tian also felt exasperated. Why didn't he remind his elder brother earlier? Now, they were being caught by the enemy.

Many started thinking along these lines. Prince Ye should have paid respects when he entered the city. Now, they were handing their enemies an opportunity to exploit.

Ye Hua thought there would be some truth or falsehood discussion, but unexpectedly, it deviated from the expected path again. Yang Yao played the emotional card.

This caught Ye Hua off guard. After all, he was ignorant of past events.

However, this made things more interesting. Originally, it was a standard scenario, but now it seemed to have shifted to a challenging mode.

Trying to tarnish Ye Hua's reputation? It wouldn't be that easy!

"Prince Ye's actions indeed lack dignity," Huang Yun joined in, not holding back in attacking Ye Hua.

On the side, Qian Yuqing wished he could slap Huang Yun away. 'When did it become your turn to criticise my man? Get lost!'

Huang Fei chuckled, "Prince, it's not entirely Prince Ye's fault. After all, Prince Ye has lost his memory. Therefore, he didn't pay respects. Is that correct, Prince Ye?"

Ye Hua felt that this was the most formidable opponent he had ever encountered, fully suppressing him, not allowing him to step down.

But Ye Hua wasn't one to follow the common rules! This might disappoint you!

"No," Ye Hua said indifferently.

With Ye Hua's "No," the discussion among the people resumed. Prince Ye's words seemed inappropriate; regardless of the circumstances, he should have paid respects to those who sacrificed their lives. It was a matter of duty and righteousness.

However, some people noticed that this was the second time Prince Ye had confronted the emperor, not giving any face.

Ye Yuanqing sincerely admired his elder brother. Even daring to confront the emperor of the Spirit City—his elder brother had become even more remarkable than before.

In the past, his elder brother wouldn't directly confront but would use silence as a form of confrontation. Now, he spoke directly. His elder brother was truly amazing.

Ye Shen was on the verge of despair. Since Ye Hua returned, his heart had never been at ease. To be precise, ever since Ye Hua came back, he knew something would happen.

Qian Yi's perception of Ye Hua was also changing. He even felt a sense of familiarity with the current Ye Hua. This familiarity wasn't with the Ye Hua of the past but with... he couldn't recall who.

Suddenly, Yang Yao let out a mournful cry, "All the deceased warriors, you died in vain!"

It was likely that after tonight's performance, news would quickly spread. With the emperor's meticulous arrangements, they would tarnish Ye Hua's reputation.

"Oh? Does Prince Ye think I'm wrong?" Huang Fei asked indifferently.

Ye Hua spoke softly, "Brothers are kept in the heart! Instead of spending time paying respects, it's better to think about how to avenge them! Hang the heads of those villains at the city gates, expose them until their bones turn to ashes!"

Once those words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent again! Even Shan Junren couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This Prince Ye, how audacious! To actually say such words!

Even Huang Fei was astonished. Anyone with a bit of brains would know that it was the emperor's arrangement.

This Prince Ye dared to call the emperor a villain and even mentioned hanging the emperor's head at the city gates!

Damn! How bold is this Prince Ye! 𝖋𝔯𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝖇𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝖈𝔬𝖒
