Chapter 1003 (No Advantages)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Huang Fei chuckled lightly after hearing Ye Hua's words, "Prince Ye is truly considerate for General Ye."

"Naturally, after all, General Ye is my sister!" Ye Hua replied nonchalantly, implying that if anyone wanted to harm her, they would have to deal with him first.

Ye Yuanqing felt grateful for everything his elder brother had done. After so many years apart, his big brother was unexpectedly protecting him so much, even more than he did for his sister-in-law.

"What if this emperor insists on it?" Huang Fei said calmly, diverting everyone's attention to Ye Hua, waiting to see how Prince Ye would respond and what choice the emperor would make.

Qian Yuqing hoped Ye Hua would not act recklessly. If he continued to confront the emperor, it would lead to a passive situation, providing the emperor with an opportunity to gain an advantage.

Huang Yun wished Ye Hua to continue his confrontation, thinking it would be impressive. Meanwhile, both Huang Li and Qian Yuqing considered that stepping back at this moment might be wise. They could plan their moves later.

Ye Shen's emotions were complicated, but he couldn't speak at the moment. Regardless, the Ye family was bound to be ruined by Ye Hua.

Ye Yuanqing gritted her teeth. At this point, if the big brother were to confront further, the emperor might act! After all, this was a delicate situation.

But was Ye Hua someone who feared trouble? Sometimes it's better to confront first and then figure things out, adding another layer of difficulty to the game.

Just as Ye Hua was about to speak, Ye Yuanqing preempted, saying, "I thank His Majesty for the marriage!"

With Ye Yuanqing's words, everyone was stunned. They all felt that the Ye family's sibling bond was deep. The brother confronted the emperor for his sister, and the sister gave up her own ideals for her brother.

Such siblings were indeed rare.

Ye Shen also didn't expect his daughter to act like this; he was truly shocked!

Qian Yuqing also didn't expect Ye Yuanqing to agree; perhaps it was to prevent Ye Hua from offending the emperor.

But Ye Hua was not happy now. Turning his head, he looked coldly at his sister. 'Your words just now were equivalent to saying that your brother is inadequate!'

'I lost face!'

'You silly sister, you're not helping your brother at all; you're just making the enemy happy!'

'That's why I often say, women, with their long hair and short sight…'

'Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi also have this annoying habit.'

Huang Fei chuckled lightly, feeling annoyed inside. He was waiting for Ye Hua to confront him just now! He didn't expect Ye Yuanqing to come up with such a line!

"Prince Ye, it seems General Ye is still quite sensible, don't you agree?"

Ye Hua knew it would be like this. The emperor was indirectly criticising him for being unreasonable. Fine! He was someone who held grudges; he would remember this account, and when the time came, he would make you pay back everything with interest!

'Damn it, I really need to figure out a solution!'

"My little sister here is just a bit timid. Your Majesty, please don't take offence," Ye Hua said with a soft laugh.

Huang Fei's face darkened upon hearing this. Even Shan Junren and everyone present felt the same. The implication behind Ye Hua's words was a direct challenge to the emperor.

Saying his sister was afraid while he wasn't.

"Prince Ye! What do you mean by that?" Huang Yun asked with a stern voice, feeling the need to ask certain questions himself.

Ye Hua looked at Huang Yun and calmly replied, "When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt."

Everyone: "..."

According to seniority, Huang Yun was indeed a child before Ye Hua.

Huang Yun's face turned unpleasant. This Ye Hua treated him like a child! Didn't he know that the child he referred to was about to sleep with his woman?

Huang Fei wanted to get angry, but he didn't have a handle. If he erupted in anger now, it could negatively impact his reputation.

It was all because he had given Ye Hua a posthumous title back then. If he hadn't, things would be much easier now.

"Huang Yun is not a child anymore. Isn't he about to get married and have children soon? It's hard work for you, Qian Yuqing," Huang Fei asserted. He wanted to test whether Ye Hua could endure it. Your woman is about to give birth to my grandchild; can you stand it?

Qian Yuqing's pretty face paled. She wouldn't do such a thing! She definitely wouldn't!

"Well, congratulations, Your Majesty."

Most people thought Ye Hua would clash again, but the result was unexpected.

Prince Ye dared to confront the emperor for his sister, but this former woman didn't receive such treatment.

Poor Qian Yuqing indeed.

Qian Yi sitting below couldn't bear to watch. Her daughter was just their pawn, manipulated by them! Perhaps he had made a wrong decision by involving his daughter in this power struggle.

Qian Yuqing was uneasy after hearing Ye Hua's words. 'Ye Hua, do you really want to abandon Yuqing?'

Huang Fei laughed heartily and raised his cup, "Double joy has come today! Let's drink to that!"

"Long live the emperor!" The courtiers immediately congratulated.

This double joy referred to Huang Yun and Qian Yuqing, and Shan Yu and Ye Yuanqing.

From the current clandestine struggle, Ye Hua seemed to be at a slight disadvantage. After all, it was an away game, and they had too many advantages!

'If this matter had happened within the Voidless Empire, hehe…'

'A complete loss.'

'But even now, it's still a loss. However, this time, I don't want to beat you with force. That would be too unfair!'

After finishing the drink, the people below took their seats again. Ye Yuanqing bowed her head in silence. For her elder brother, who offended the emperor for her, she was willing to give up her own prospects.

On the side, Ye Shen remained silent, his thoughts unclear.

Shan Yu and Ye Yuanqing had similar attitudes. Marrying a woman he didn't like was akin to a death sentence. However, since it was the emperor's decree, there was no choice.

The banquet continued, and Ye Hua waited for the emperor to make his next move. He needed to salvage the situation. Otherwise, if his subordinates found out, they would mock him for losing face on someone else's territory.

"Prince Ye, how did you survive the past millennium? How did you escape death back then?" Huang Fei curiously asked, genuinely interested in knowing how Ye Hua had lived all these years, especially considering his near-death experience.

Ye Hua chuckled lightly, "Your Majesty, on that day, a master helped me, saving my life. However, my injuries were severe, and during the treatment, I lost my memory."

"A master? Do you still remember what this person looked like?" Huang Fei asked quietly.

"I don't remember the appearance of that person. He took me to the Sapphire Continent," Ye Hua replied in a low voice.

Huang Fei was puzzled; what Ye Hua said contradicted what Han Ya had mentioned. One of them must be lying.

"Oh? So, Prince Ye, you've been living in the Sapphire Continent all these years?"

"Yes," Ye Hua replied nonchalantly.
