Chapter 335: Direct Confrontation

The task of blocking the village road naturally fell upon Ye Yunting's shoulders.

After leaving the court, he ignored the surrounding officials and walked directly toward Ye Jiuxiao.

"It really surprised your nephew that Uncle Emperor came to the court today," he said.

His voice was well controlled; apart from the two of them, no one else could hear what he said.

"With such a significant incident occurring, it was naturally this prince's bounden duty to attend," replied Ye Jiuxiao.

Ye Jiuxiao gave him a look that was both amused and indifferent, still maintaining the demeanor of an elder.

"Uncle Emperor isn't here for that woman's sake, is he?"

Seeing his nonchalant manner, Ye Yunting felt extremely irritated.

Although he had never shown it, he had always been somewhat envious of this uncle of his since he was a child.

How could he not be when Ye Jiuxiao was entrusted with important tasks while he was still learning from his teachers at the Imperial Academy?
