"How do you know?"
"The whole street is abuzz, how could I not know?" Yang Chuxia said. "Now everywhere is buzzing with rumors that the Emperor favors treacherous ministers, officials shielding their peers to the detriment of the people, the court is dark and corrupt, the people have no peaceful days, and so on. Anyway, nothing good is being said. Tell me, how did you become a treacherous minister?"
"Tsk tsk, people's words are truly frightening."
And so, Ye Zi'an recounted to Yang Chuxia what happened at the palace gate today.
"Damn it!" Yang Chuxia got angry as soon as she heard, "Did you owe him something in a past life? Why is he always giving you a hard time?"
"Who knows?" Ye Zi'an shrugged, "I feel like he's deliberately making things difficult for me."
"So what do we do now? What did the Emperor say?"
