The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2374 - 2376: I Don’t Want to See You Right Now

Baili Yan thought darkly: if he’s going to sit in this position until he dies, then Ye Zi’an must accompany him until death.

Otherwise, it would be too boring. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Before standing in this position he didn’t feel it, but once seated here, he realized that people changed. Even the Empress he personally chose treated him with more self-interest than sincerity.

The only ones who could still say a few true words to him were Ye Zi’an and Mu Shaoling. As for Linhao, in his eyes, he was a knife, not a mirror.

But Mu Shaoling was not in the court, and he could only discuss court matters with Ye Zi’an. As it turned out, Ye Zi’an was leaving too, causing Baili Yan to suddenly feel a bit uneasy.

Thus, Baili Yan’s temper became uncontrollable!

"I’m telling you, don’t even think about it! I’ve never seen a Lord Marquis retire and return to his hometown."

"Emperor, when I leave the capital, I will pass the title of Marquis Changning to Qingqing." Ye Zi’an had anticipated Baili Yan might oppose his departure from the court, but he hadn’t expected such a furious reaction.

"Shut up!" Baili Yan snorted coldly, "Get out! I don’t want to see you, nor do I want to hear from you right now."

"Yes, I shall take my leave!"

Lowering his head, Ye Zi’an exited.

On the way back, he boarded a carriage within the palace. Those waiting outside the palace gates, trying to figure out what trouble Ye Zi’an might have caused, were again left in the dark.

"Alright, what are you all looking at?" The original heir of Prince Qing, now Prince Qing, spoke, "Coming and going from the palace in a carriage surely means it’s nothing serious; disperse, disperse."

The crowd thought about it, realizing it was true, as very few could have the honor of entering the palace by carriage.

Such honor still being present meant that even if something had happened, it wasn’t serious, leaving a sense of disappointment.

Ye Zi’an had been blocking many of their paths in court.

Returning to Prince An’s Mansion, Yang Chuxia and the children were still waiting.

"Is everything alright?"

"All is well." Ye Zi’an took off his cloak and told Lele, "Tomorrow, you will report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"I’m going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Lele scratched his ear, "Did you really say this would happen? It wasn’t a leisurely department the Emperor agreed to send me to?"

"Sending you to the Ministry of Criminal Justice was the Emperor’s long-standing intent." Ye Zi’an recounted the Emperor’s words to Lele.

Lele clapped his hands, laughing, "I didn’t expect our Emperor to have such a broad mind, respect, respect!"

Yang Chuxia wasn’t too concerned with major matters of the court, caring more about Ye Zi’an’s ability to step down.

"And what about you? What did the Emperor say?"

Ye Zi’an recalled Baili Yan’s furious demeanor, shaking his head slightly, "Temporarily, he hasn’t agreed."

"His disagreement is understandable." Yang Chuxia was not too disappointed.

After all, with Ye Zi’an’s age, there was no one so young in the entire court calling for retirement.

"Then will Father go to court tomorrow?" Lele asked.

"No!" Ye Zi’an shook his head, "The Emperor said he doesn’t want to see me, so I’ll avoid his eyes."

"You’re quite willful!"

Thus, when Baili Yan ascended to court the next day, he once again saw Ye Zi’an’s seat empty.

The atmosphere was sullen, chilling the entire Golden Throne Hall.

Suppressing his inner fury, he passed Ye Zi’an’s book to the ministers below.

"What do you think? Written by Marquis Changning!"

The newly appointed Prince Qing was most straightforward, "It’s good, but it’s too advanced. Raising the position of merchants might incite dissatisfaction among the people?"

"That’s right, Emperor, I share the same sentiment."
