Chapter 1143 (You Can Also Claim the Throne)
Qian Yuqing blushed, “You, this unmarried girl, really have no filter. No one will want you when the time comes.”
“Haha, Sister-in-law is embarrassed.” Ye Yuanqing teased, noting that only in front of his elder brother could his sister-in-law be like this.
Ye Yuanqing’s arrival indeed improved the atmosphere and brought a slight moment of happiness to Ye Hua.
“Big Brother, Emperor Huang Fei has died…” Ye Yuanqing said solemnly, then looked at her elder brother.
Qian Yuqing’s eyes widened, exclaiming, “What? The Emperor is dead? When did this happen?”
“A few days ago.”
It seemed like Ye Hua did not hear it at all, continuing to contemplate his own matters.
“Big Brother?” Ye Yuanqing called out softly.
Ye Hua looked up at his sister, then sighed lightly, not seeming to care at all.
However, Ye Yuanqing had a speculation in her mind. The Emperor’s death must be related to her elder brother. She came this time to inquire about it.
“Big Brother, about the Emperor’s death…”
Before Ye Yuanqing could finish speaking, Ye Hua said softly, “I ordered it.”
“Ah!” Both Ye Yuanqing and Qian Yuqing exclaimed simultaneously.
Ye Yuanqing only had the speculation, but never expected it to be her elder brother. Her mind was a bit slow to respond.
“Big Brother, why?” Ye Yuanqing didn’t understand. Why would her elder brother act at this time? If he wanted, he could have done it earlier. Why now?
“I don’t like him!” Ye Hua said coldly. That damn Huang Fei! He died without any pain!
Indeed, Huang Fei himself didn’t feel anything; he simply passed away.
Qian Yuqing was a bit afraid, worried that Ye Hua might start a war with the Spirit City. The strength of the entire Voidless Empire was scarce, especially compared to the Spirit City, which could be a problem.
Having lived with Ye Hua for some time now, Qian Yuqing knew little about the military strength of the Voidless Empire. Even if the Seven Deadly Sins fought individually, like Qing Xu, he could poison a large area wherever he went. Adding the sucking technique of Ye Zizi, and even with Wei Chang’s technique, many people were powerless!
Unfortunately, Wei Chang was currently missing, whereabouts unknown.
“Big Brother, why did you suddenly take action now? Big Brother, do you want…” Ye Yuanqing asked.
Ye Hua lightly waved his hand, and the conversation with Huang Fei appeared.
Ye Yuanqing was shocked, quickly asking, “Big Brother, what about Mother Le Jing?”
“Mother’s supply of Spirit Spring is running out and was wasted by a palace maid!” Ye Hua said coldly, full of anger.
“Huang Fei sent this palace maid?”
Ye Hua said in a deep voice, “Yes.”
“This Huang Fei is truly despicable!” Ye Yuanqing exclaimed with hatred. He deserved the punishment!
Ye Hua calmly asked, “What’s the situation in Spirit City now? With Huang Fei dead, who will become the Emperor?”
“Big Brother, your popularity is soaring right now. As long as you are willing to go back, Prime Minister Shan said that you can definitely become the Emperor of the Spirit City!” In Ye Yuanqing’s mind, if her elder brother really killed the Emperor, then he should have aspirations for the throne.
However, Ye Yuanqing was mistaken. Ye Hua killed Huang Fei not for the throne. In Ye Hua’s heart, the throne was just an accessory.
“No interest. I still have many things to deal with here.” Ye Hua replied calmly. The throne was nothing compared to his mother’s illness and Wei Chang.
In Qian Yuqing’s mind, she also felt that Ye Hua should go back and fight for it. After all, the Emperor of the Spirit City had more deterrent power here. That Emperor could control many planes, and even the Sapphire Continent was just one of the larger planes.
However, when Ye Yuanqing heard what her elder brother said, she felt a sense of disappointment. Her elder brother was not interested.
Ye Hua got up and walked to his sister, patting her shoulder, and said, “Yuanqing, you can also claim the throne.”
“Me? Big Brother, don’t joke. No woman has ever become the Emperor of the Spirit City.” Ye Yuanqing said nervously, shocked by her elder brother’s terrifying idea.
Ye Hua chuckled lightly, “Yuanqing, big brother killed Huang Fei with the intention of paving the way for you. If you sit on the throne, what’s the difference between you and big brother?”
Ye Yuanqing never expected such a layer of thinking from her elder brother. She was deeply moved. Her elder brother actually paved the way for her and even offered her the throne, a throne that made everyone envious. He trusted her so much.
“Tell that Prime Minister Shan, whoever stands on my side is wise. Otherwise…” Ye Hua issued a death warning. Standing with him meant at least avoiding death, while standing against him meant only one possibility – death.
“Big Brother, I… I’m not mentally prepared yet.” Ye Yuanqing was, after all, a woman. This throne was not like a daughter-in-law’s position. From her elder brother’s perspective, it was about letting anyone sit on it.
Ye Hua was not in a hurry and said softly, “It’s okay. You’ll get used to it. Spend these days playing around with big brother. Think about how to go in the future. Big brother does want you to sit on the throne. Who said women can’t sit on it? Big brother wants you to break this tradition!”
Hearing her elder brother’s words, Ye Yuanqing was also filled with passion. Yes, for years she had been trying to prove that women could do what men could do!
“Thank you, big brother. I will think about it carefully.” Ye Yuanqing said respectfully.
Ye Hua was very good to his sister in his heart. He felt that Yuanqing was also very sensible, even more so than his own younger brother.
“In a while, Juetian is going to get married. Attend the wedding and then go back.” Ye Hua added.
Ye Yuanqing exclaimed again, “Ah!!! Little Tian is getting married? With whom?”
“Yuqing, take Yuanqing to have a look. I still have many things to consider.”
Qian Yuqing knew that Ye Hua had been troubled during this time and had many things to do. She gave Ye Yuanqing a meaningful look, and Ye Yuanqing understood immediately.
“Big Brother, Sister is going.”
Ye Hua nodded.
The two women walked outside, and Ye Yuanqing curiously asked, “Sister-in-law, what’s the story with that palace maid?”
Qian Yuqing sighed helplessly, “Too much has happened during this time. Little Tian likes that palace maid.”
“Little Tian likes that palace maid? What’s going on? Didn’t that palace maid harm Mother?” Ye Yuanqing felt her brain was not enough. This relationship seemed a bit complicated.
“Yuanqing, actually, I think that palace maid might not have been sent by Huang Fei. Ye Hua might have misunderstood, but Ye Hua is very sensitive about this matter, and he doesn’t have a good expression no matter who mentions it.”

Chapter 1144 (Despicable Maids)
“It’s because of Mother’s reason, big brother is still very filial.” Ye Yuanqing could understand her big brother.
“Sigh, that palace maid actually has a tough time.” Qian Yuqing sighed.
“Sister-in-law, let’s go see Little Tian first.”
“Mm.”
The two quickly arrived at Ye Juetian’s sleeping palace. In broad daylight, Ye Juetian sat in a pavilion drinking tea.
And Gong Yue sat beside him playing the zither, the melodious music lingering in the air, very pleasant.
Indeed a talented woman, Gong Yue, had all eighteen skills. Such a woman is indeed a good marriage prospect.

However, Ye Juetian never felt it, all his thoughts were on Yi Yi.
Gong Yue, playing the zither, could sense that, although she deceived him, Ye Juetian still yearned for Yi Yi…
‘Why! Why am I, Gong Yue, inferior to a despicable maid! I play the zither for you, pour water for you, and in the future, I can even bear you children, help you in your career, what can that Yi Yi give you!?’
‘Apart from being coquettish, what else?!’
“Little Tian.” Ye Yuanqing called out, this guy seems to… have matured, unlike before in the Ye family.
Men only mature through experiencing emotions.
“Second sister.” Ye Juetian stood up directly upon hearing, very excited.
Gong Yue, on the side, also stopped playing the zither, respectfully standing behind Ye Juetian.
When Ye Yuanqing approached, Gong Yue also obediently called out, “Sister-in-law, second sister.”
Ye Yuanqing looked at Gong Yue, feeling that the two standing together looked quite compatible. Being able to see Little Tian get married is also good.
“Little Tian, you’ve turned from a boy into a man now.” Ye Yuanqing couldn’t help but tease, patting Ye Juetian’s shoulder.
Ye Yuanqing is a general, surrounded by men when on the border, so sometimes she speaks a bit like a man.
But before her big brother, she still behaves like a woman.
Ye Juetian chuckled, indeed there is such a thing as a boy becoming a man, but that was an accident…
Gong Yue blushed directly, not expecting this second sister to be so bold.
Qian Yuqing pulled Ye Yuanqing’s sleeve, indicating she’s being a bit inappropriate now.
“I’ll go pour water for sister-in-law and second sister.” Gong Yue hastily ran off, her face flushed from being teased.
After Gong Yue left, Ye Yuanqing chuckled lightly, “Not bad, Little Tian’s flirting skills are quite good. Haven’t seen each other for long, already got a beauty.”
“Second sister, you don’t have to make fun of me, me and Gong Yue… are just pretending.” Ye Juetian sighed deeply. His sister-in-law knew about his affairs, so Ye Juetian didn’t need to hide anything.
Qian Yuqing sighed lightly.
Ye Yuanqing glanced at her sister-in-law, puzzled. “Little Tian, what’s going on with you? Getting bullied by others and still pretending?”
“Second sister, this is a long story, I… I like someone else.”
“That palace maid?” Ye Yuanqing asked in a deep voice.
“Mm.”
“Do you know that maid harmed Mother?” Ye Yuanqing questioned.
Ye Juetian looked up at Ye Yuanqing, firm in his response. “Second sister, Yi Yi would never do such a thing. I can guarantee it with my life!”
“Little Tian, what do you want now?” Ye Yuanqing asked softly.
Ye Juetian sighed helplessly. “I can only marry Gong Yue, that’s the only way to save Yi Yi’s life. Big brother promised me.”
No wonder big brother didn’t kill that palace maid. So it was an agreement with Little Tian, that makes sense. After all, with such a big incident of trying to kill Le Jing happening and still not being executed, that’s a miracle.
“Little Tian, Emperor Fei is dead now,” Ye Yuanqing said solemnly.
“What! Dead?!” Ye Juetian exclaimed. He had been planning to help clear Yi Yi’s name, but now that Huang Fei is dead, who can clear Yi Yi’s name? There’s no one! Yi Yi will have to bear the stigma of plotting against his mother for her whole life!
Ye Juetian covered his forehead with both hands, appearing very distressed.
“How did he die?”
“Big brother had someone kill him,” Ye Yuanqing said softly. An Emperor’s death, when they said it like this, it seemed so ordinary, not worth paying attention to at all.
Huang Fei’s death was not undeserved in Ye Juetian’s opinion, but now there’s no evidence…
At this moment, Gong Yue walked over with a tray of tea. Ye Yuanqing showed a gentle smile, suddenly feeling that this woman was quite pitiful. It was obvious she liked Little Tian.
But Little Tian liked another woman, the most painful thing in life is liking someone but they like someone else.
“Juetian, sister-in-law, second sister, have some tea.” Gong Yue respectfully called out, serving tea to the three of them.
Ye Yuanqing could only smile and say, “Sister-in-law is very virtuous.”
“Second sister is jesting, I’m just doing my duty,” Gong Yue smiled faintly.
If it weren’t for Little Tian liking another girl, Ye Yuanqing would have thought Gong Yue was very suitable for Little Tian.
But Ye Yuanqing was also very curious about this Yi Yi. What kind of girl is she that captivated Little Tian like this?
The four of them sat together chatting, and Ye Yuanqing decided to go see this Yi Yi.
Exiting the sleeping palace, Ye Yuanqing whispered, “Sister-in-law, take me to see that Yi Yi.”
“Really want to go?”
“Mm, I want to see what kind of person she is and have an estimate in my heart.” Ye Yuanqing wanted to see why Yi Yi gained Little Tian’s trust, whether she was truly a spy of Huang Fei.
Qian Yuqing nodded, and the two immediately headed towards the woodshed.
During the day, the woodshed door was wide open.
Before Qian Yuqing and Ye Yuanqing even entered the woodshed, they heard bursts of harsh cheers, mixed with the sound of whips!
“This despicable maid actually likes Prince Ye!”
“She even shouts Prince Ye’s name in her dreams!”
“Doesn’t even know her own status, can she climb up to Prince Ye? Does the ugly duckling dream of eating dragon meat?”
“Thinking she looks good, dreaming of becoming a princess, watch me beat you to death, you despicable maid!”
Slap, slap, slap…
Qian Yuqing’s face sank, hurriedly rushing in, and Ye Yuanqing quickly followed!
The scene before them made both Qian Yuqing and Ye Yuanqing’s faces darken!
They saw four or five palace maids mocking and taunting another palace maid, while that maid was curled up, enduring even a whip being used on her by one of the palace maids.
Although they were all ordinary people, being whipped was still extremely painful…
And their clothes were torn, the cruelty level was outrageous!
“What are you doing!” Qian Yuqing coldly shouted!
These palace maids were sent here as punishment for committing offences, so they were not virtuous women, quite jealous in fact. Yi Yi had been bullied for some time now, but she had always endured it, still waiting for Ye Juetian to explain himself.
