Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents Chapter 290 - 71: Like to Show Off? I’m Here to Smack You Do
,,,
Just about as Fu Zhengqing expected.
On Yan Shuzhu’s side, she really did learn from Lv Lan that the one who broke into Purgatory was her imperial brother, Prince An—Yan Jiang.
But after thinking for a while,
Yan Shuzhu just told Lv Lan not to let this news spread, but didn’t an to arrest anyone.
"Your Majesty, don’t we need to guard against this?"
Yan Shuzhu shook her head with a bitter smile.
No reason for it—she really felt that being Emperor was a suffocating job.
"I still rember, back when Yan Jiang was Crown Prince, Pri Minister Fu Zhengqing was his tutor in the palace, teaching him personally. Even if now it seems like there’s no contact between them, behind the scenes—!"
There are so things—
Without hard evidence, imagination alone is enough.
"No way do I believe Yan Jiang could’ve arranged for people to break soone out of Purgatory without Fu Zhengqing’s help."
After all, ever since it was built, Purgatory was a place where nothing unexpected ever happened.
"This..."
Lv Lan naturally understood what Yan Shuzhu ant by these words.
If Yan Jiang has Fu Zhengqing backing him,
then even if Yan Shuzhu wanted to act, she wouldn’t be able to do much.
"Enough!"
Seeing Lv Lan standing there quietly, as if trying to think of so way to help her,
Yan Shuzhu instead let out a gentle laugh.
She waved her hand as if she didn’t mind at all.
"There’s nothing to worry about. Father is about to return from seclusion. These matters aren’t for us to worry about anymore—when he arrives, soone will deal with them."
Yan Shuzhu definitely didn’t think—
that these people would dare to treat her father the sa way they treated her.
,,,
Lv Lan kept quiet.
She wasn’t stupid.
How could she be unaware that what Yan Shuzhu was saying was actually just self-mockery, making light in a situation full of bitterness?
After all—
Once the old Emperor returned, the first person he’d want to deal with would surely be Yan Shuzhu, who’d taken the throne.
At this thought, Lv Lan said seriously,
"No matter what happens, I’ll protect Your Majesty with my life!"
Lv Lan wasn’t soone who forgot her roots. Yan Shuzhu had helped her many tis. If Yan Shuzhu was in danger and she just ran away, what kind of person would she be?
"Good!"
Seeing Lv Lan like that,
Yan Shuzhu also answered with a light laugh, saying nothing more.

The next morning, at court—
Sure enough, Ye Liuyun didn’t see Prince An, Yan Jiang.
Tch, chickened out already? Boring.
But what Ye Liuyun didn’t expect was that although Yan Jiang didn’t show up for morning court, there were plenty of his supporters in the hall, standing up for Prince An!
"Your Majesty, I have sothing to report!"
Court had barely begun before an official stepped forward.
"I am here to accuse Embroidered Uniform Guard Southern Governor Ye Liuyun of disregarding the law and defying his superiors!"
"Hm?"
Hearing this—
The previously bored Ye Liuyun perked right up.
He turned with amusent to look at the man accusing him.
Pissed off? As if—
Ye Liuyun was never one to hold grudges over sothing so small.
"I also accuse Southern Governor Ye Liuyun of offending Prince An, an unforgivable cri!"
"I also accuse him!"
,,,
A bunch of people stood up—clearly, back when Yan Jiang was Crown Prince, he’d won over a whole group of ministers in Court, even if he hadn’t beco Emperor.
So of them were truly loyal to Prince An Yan Jiang.
As Ye Liuyun watched with arms crossed, amused—
Lei Zheng leaned over and whispered,
"Most of these people are from the Ministry of Revenue."
The Ministry managed the Great Qian treasury. Yan Jiang had tried to win them over first.
Lei Zheng ant one thing: the Ministry people, they’re rich!
As for anything else, Lei Zheng wasn’t worried. Seriously, Ye Liuyun had dared to raid Prince An’s ho; would he care about being accused by these n?
With Ye Liuyun’s petty streak, he’d probably rember every single one of them right here in court!
Of course, Ye Liuyun didn’t know what Lei Zheng was thinking.
If he did, he’d have to say sothing—what do you an petty, he was actually very generous!
"Alright, lend your n for a bit."
"No problem, use them however you want!"
Hearing Ye Liuyun say that, Lei Zheng instantly realized what he ant to do.
He gave a decisive wave.
Totally fine—just use them however you like.
,,,
Yan Shuzhu, sitting on the Dragon Throne, seed to expect these accusations and didn’t look rattled at all.
She just swept her gaze over the crowd.
Then turned to Ye Liuyun,
"Ye Liuyun, what do you have to say?"
Yan Shuzhu had no intention of punishing Ye Liuyun outright, instead inviting him to speak for himself.
This attitude made it clear to everyone—
Ye Liuyun is my person. If you want to charge him, that’s pointless!
"Your Majesty!"
This crowd was coming straight at him, so of course Ye Liuyun wouldn’t sit back and watch.
He stepped forward.
And spoke up solemnly.
"Everything I’ve done is for the safety of Great Qian. What these people say is nothing but baseless slander!"
"Bullshit!"
Listening to Ye Liuyun spout such self-righteous lines at a ti like this, claiming his conscience was clear, soone finally lost it—pointing right at Ye Liuyun’s nose and cursing him out.
"Didn’t you just lead the Embroidered Uniform Guard yesterday, surrounding Prince An’s manor and seizing a huge amount of money?"
So who knew about it didn’t think much,
but others who hadn’t heard—
were stunned by the news.
What the hell?
Ye Liuyun, Southern Governor of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, really raided Prince An Yan Jiang’s mansion?
Damn!
This kid is brave, huh?
Everyone knew he was a young Grandmaster, full of spirit, but wasn’t this a bit too brazen?
