528. Chapter 528: I Didn't Expect to Take Your Seat So Soon

Ye Jin Ying's face changed, and he knelt down anxiously: "Your Majesty, I was also impatient for a moment, so I forgot to report to you."

Impatient for a moment?

The Emperor, blaming Ye Jin Ying, stared at him with a cold gaze and said, "Whatever the reason, it does not justify you secretly sending people to search. This is no small matter!"

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

Ye Jin Ying lowered his head in acknowledgment.

The Emperor had already harbored doubts about him, and took this opportunity to demote him.

That is to say.

From today onward, Ye Jin Ying is no longer the Nine Gates Commander.

The Emperor said little to Shi Lin, letting them leave together.

They exited the Yuqian Palace.

Shi Lin caught up with Ye Jin Ying, his voice neither loud nor soft, and said, "Lord Ye, are you very angry? Unfortunately, even if you're angry, you can't wrong us! Oh dear, why are you even angrier? Be careful, don't let your anger kill you. I've been eating greasy food these days, and I certainly don't want to take your seat so quickly!"

"You…"

Ye Jin Ying's figure wavered; had he not steadied himself in time, he would have fallen to the ground.

Shi Lin laughed and left.

"Damn!"

When Ye Jin Ying returned home, his elder brother and father were waiting for him.

He heard that the Dragon Robe had not been found.

Ye Jinwen hurriedly asked, "How could this happen? Didn't we already have someone bring the Dragon Robe into the Lanxiang Embroidery Workshop? Could it be that she changed her mind in the meantime?"

Ye Jin Ying pressed his lips together and said, "No, it's likely that Shi Lin and his group discovered the Dragon Robe and hid it."

Before they could say anything.

Ye Jin Ying told them that he had been demoted to Assistant Guard General.

From First Rank down to Third Rank; don't be too upset.

Ye Jinwen opened his mouth and said, "Second Brother, you were too impulsive."

Ye He said to Ye Jin Ying, "Second brother, today's matter was indeed not thought through. The Emperor probably already doubts you; for the coming days, don't do anything for now."

Hearing that.

Ye Jin Ying said without anger, "I thought this matter was foolproof; how could it turn out like this! Father, elder brother, where do you think they hid the Dragon Robe? We've searched everywhere and still haven't found it; even body searches turned up nothing."

His words had just fallen.

Ye He spoke up, "You went and didn't find it; how could we have guessed where it was hidden? After today's events, it's clear Shi Lin and his group aren't easy to deal with. In the future, discuss matters with us clearly before acting."

"Understood, Father."

Ye Jin Ying, knowing his father meant well for him, said nothing further.

Lanxiang Embroidery Workshop.

Shi Lin dismissed the others, called Qiao Sheng into an empty room and said, "Madam, is the Dragon Robe…"

"Yes."

Qiao Sheng replied.

Shi Lin asked nothing further.

In less than half an hour.

They returned home.

After washing up and turning off the lights, without waiting for Shi Lin to say anything, Qiao Sheng led him into the space.

They arrived at the bedroom of Qiao Sheng's space.

Shi Lin saw the so-called Dragon Robe.

Having looked.

Shi Lin was extremely relieved, "little Sheng, it's fortunate you have a space; otherwise we'd have been in trouble today."

Having heard.

Qiao Sheng said, "I think our trouble is just beginning; the mastermind behind this should be the Empress. She intended to eliminate us by secretly forging a Dragon Robe. Since it failed, she certainly won't just let it go."

"She definitely won't just let it be, but she probably won't act in the near future."

Shi Lin also thought of something.

Result.

The next day, during the morning court.

The Emperor indeed, as he expected, appointed the Grand Prince as Crown Prince.

He is typical, a slap followed by a treat.

Even though his rank was demoted.

Ye Jin Ying, however, was quite happy.

His nephew is now Crown Prince; is he still far from becoming Emperor?
