Ye Ning knew very well that as long as she left this home, she would never come back. She still had three children, and she would never leave even if she died.
"Ye Binghuai, let me tell you, I know exactly what you have done over the years, don't force me."
Ye Binghuai had a headache. This woman was crazy and could do anything.
"Do you think I want to do this? It's because I won't give up. Otherwise, why don't you go back to your parents' house for a while?" Ye Binghuai retreated and settled for the next best thing.
Ye Ning said coldly and arrogantly: "I won't leave, Ye Binghuai, you'd better give up."
The next day, Xia Chunyu came to pick up Ye Jiayao as promised.
Ye Jiayao pursed her lips and said nothing along the way. Her silence and cold hands revealed her inner uneasiness.
Xia Chunyu also remained silent, just holding her hand tightly and giving her courage and comfort.
This is already her third time entering the palace. If she could, she would never come again. Ye Jiayao looked at the towering palace wall and thought to herself.
Arriving at Zichen Palace, a group of people were waiting outside the palace. Ye Jiayao saw that they all knew each other. The two brothers from the Helian family, Zhao Qixuan and Su Su, and Xia Chunfeng were accompanied by an elderly man. Chunyu is quite similar.
"Why are they all here?" Ye Jiayao asked in a low voice.
Xia Chunyu sighed slightly: "Of course I'm here for you."
Is there strength in numbers? Ye Jiayao's nose was sore. A friend in need is a friend indeed. These friends are not in vain.
Zhao Qixuan looked Ye Jiayao up and down with his eyes, a little puzzled: "Why didn't I see it?"
Su Su rolled her eyes, I didn't even expect it, can you imagine it
He Lianjing really didn't want to see this scene today, but he came anyway because he was afraid that Yaoyao wouldn't be able to pass the test. So, early in the morning, he called Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi over. With one more person to talk to, he could always Some use.
Xia Zhuofeng was also sizing up this young man with delicate features. Is this Miss Ye that Chun Yu mentioned? He actually hid in heaven and worked as a cook, and his cooking skills were very good. Last night, when Chunyu confessed to him, he was really surprised.
"When people arrive, let's go in!" Xia Zhuofeng said. This matter is too complicated. If one mistake is not made, even Chunyu will be guilty of deceiving the emperor. As a father, he had to come to help himself.
He Lianxuan said to Xiao Jing and others: "Just wait outside."
Ye Jiayao followed Xia Chunyu into the Zichen Hall.
When Eunuch Wei led them in, he said, "Your Majesty is not in a very good mood today. General Huo's attack is not going well."
Xia Chunyu glanced at He Lianxuan.
Don’t you know the military situation best? Why didn't you tell me earlier
He Lianxuan shrugged helplessly. This was the 800-mile rush last night, and he couldn't count it.
Ye Jiayao tugged on Chunyu's sleeve: "How about we come back another day?"
Xia Chunyu said in his heart: You have come, the emperor has summoned you, how can you go back
Forget it, it’s better to choose the day than to hit it. It’s a blessing, not a disaster, but it’s a disaster that cannot be avoided. The emperor is not an unreasonable person.
"Chunyu, you said you have found Miss Ye, where is she?" The emperor is indeed in a bad mood, his face is not good-looking, and his tone is cold, becoming more solemn and solemn, not only because of the unfavorable military situation, but also because he should not have appeared. People appeared.
Three months, only a few days have passed, and the person has been found? The emperor felt that he had been fooled.
Xia Chunyu knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have brought you some of my ministers, including Li Yao, who is walking in the imperial kitchen."
"Public girl Ye Jinxuan, please bow to the emperor, may the emperor be blessed." Ye Jiayao forced herself to announce her real name.
The emperor was furious: "How dare you deceive me? Someone, pull Ye Jinxuan down and chop her down."
Ye Jiayao's mind went crazy, no way, are you going to kill someone now? Was there any mistake
Xia Chunyu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you want to punish Ye Jinxuan for deceiving the emperor, and the humble minister refuses to obey."
The emperor said angrily: "Ye Jinxuan disguised herself as a man, sneaked into the palace, deceived the emperor, and cheated her into the position of serving in the imperial kitchen. Her crime is unpardonable."
"Your Majesty, Ye Jinxuan disguised herself as a man just to make a living. How could she, a weak woman, come all the way from Jinan to Jinling if she didn't disguise herself as a man? She fell off a cliff and lost her memory. She also came to Jinling to see Helian Jing off. There is God's will in the dark to let her return to me."
"As for sneaking into the palace, how can we talk about it? Doesn't the emperor know very well why she entered the palace in the first place? The emperor asked her to cook the royal kitchen, did she dare to disobey? The emperor asked her to enter the royal kitchen, didn't she refuse? Your Majesty How can she refuse to accept the offer of walking in the imperial kitchen and repeated favors? How could she cheat? If she had admitted that she was a woman, wouldn't the emperor have punished her? "
"Your Majesty, Ye Jinxuan has done a great job in presenting dishes to the emperor. The emperor showed pity for the talented people and gave him a special gift to travel in the imperial kitchen. It has been passed down among the people as a good story. Even if Ye Jinxuan made a mistake, it was forced by the situation and unintentional. Please forgive the emperor." He Lianxuan knelt down. plead.
The emperor thought about it for himself. It did not make sense to blame Ye Jinxuan for this matter, but he couldn't just let it go.
"Your Majesty, Ye Jinxuan is just an ordinary woman with limited knowledge. Your Majesty, for the sake of this veteran, please forgive her this time." Xia Zhuofeng said with a shy smile.
The old Marquis had to give him face, and the emperor said: "For the sake of your love, I don't need to pursue this matter. However, how should you explain the so-called three-month period, Chunyu?" the emperor asked. .
"Back to the emperor, I have some last resort. Ye Jinxuan has lost her memory. I have been thinking of ways to revive her memory and don't want to embarrass her. If she can't remember the past, she will always be Li Yao, not Ye Jinxuan, even if she is in a small state. It's like a stranger around me, so Wei Chen's statement that she has disappeared is not false. The emperor has set a deadline of three months, and Wei Chen has no confidence in his heart. He dare not expect to be able to recall her memory within these three months. With no choice, Wei Chen had to invite her uncle from Zhenjiang. She had lived in her maternal grandfather's house for eight years. It was her happiest time. It was so pitiful that it finally reminded her of the past." Xia Chunyu's voice was full of emotion. When he said the emotional part, tears welled up in his eyes.
Ye Jiayao knew that Xia Chun was a good actor and had seen him before, but at this moment she still couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, he was so good at acting.
"Your Majesty, everything Chunyu said is true, and I can testify to it," He Lianxuan said.
"You two are breathing out of the same nostril, and you are the same person. Why do you think I am so easy to deceive because you have lost your memory? What did you say in the Queen Mother's Palace last time? The preface is wrong and the backword is incorrect." The emperor questioned coldly.
"Your Majesty, if she had not lost her memory, Wei Chen would have brought her back to the Marquis Mansion long ago to prevent her from suffering and suffering in heaven. Why would she wait until the Emperor granted her a marriage before revealing her existence? Moreover, Wei Chen said that she had saved Wei Chen This is a fact, Wei Chen did not lie." Xia Chunyu said.
"Xia Chunyu, no matter what your reasons are, it is true to deceive the emperor. You have stayed with me for a long time. Do you think I am a foolish emperor? Can you fool me?"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare."
The emperor suddenly rebuked loudly: "What else do you dare not to do? Even I dare to plot."
Xia Zhuofeng's head was covered with sweat. Just when he was about to say something for his son, the emperor glared at him with a sharp look, making him quickly lower his head in fear.
"This farce ends here. I may not pursue Ye Jinxuan's crime, but your crime is unforgivable. I will demote you three levels in a row and demote you to a third-class bodyguard to see the consequences. In three months, I will marry Princess Liuli. As for Ye Jinxuan, I allow you to take her as your concubine." The emperor said majestically.
Xia Chunyu kowtowed heavily: "I beg your Majesty to take back your order. I am already married to Ye Jinxuan. There is no reason to stop marrying again."
"Xia Chunyu, do you want to resist the decree?" The emperor's eyes darkened.
Ye Jiayao couldn't stand listening anymore. After all the talk, didn't the emperor want to force Xia Chunyu to marry Liuli
"Reporting to the emperor, the daughter of the people has said that all the people in the mountains and rivers of the world belong to the emperor. As soon as the emperor opens his mouth, he will force the ministers to stop their wives and remarry, and let the first wives go down to the court to become concubines. We dare not disobey. , Of course, humanity would rather demolish ten temples than destroy one family. Yin virtues and blessings have their own conclusions, right and wrong, and their own comments. The daughter of the people will ask herself to come to the court today and give her husband to Princess Liuli. Who will let her do it? Why don't you have an uncle who is the emperor? You can't win over someone else's house! Although a common girl is lowly, she still has some integrity. It is absolutely impossible for her to be a concubine, so I don't bother Your Majesty. Give me a chastity memorial arch! A common girl will never marry in this life. It is quite cost-effective to give up a husband and get a chastity memorial arch." Ye Jiayao said calmly.
Everyone gasped, Ye Jinxuan really dared to say that.
The emperor's face was uncertain, and Ye Jinxuan's words were heart-wrenching.
"Your Majesty, you'd better grant death to me!" Xia Chunyu said decisively.
Yaoyao didn't play her cards according to the rules and disrupted all his plans.
"Why are you dying? The emperor wants to marry Princess Liuli to you because he thinks highly of you. You don't have to worry about being infamy for all eternity. Everyone knows that this is the emperor's order. The emperor's order is more powerful than the sky. Do you know that? I am destined not to be. As for marriage, the person I wanted to marry was snatched away by a group of dogs. Now someone else has come to snatch the person I am marrying. Although I don't want to, I can't help it. It's because I have no ability and can't even keep a husband. "Ye Jiayao wiped away her tears now, looking sad.
The emperor couldn't help but feel angry and blood boiling. Damn it, wasn't that bitch just scolding him
Xia Chunyu has black lines all over his head. Yaoyao, this is the emperor. Is it really okay for you to say this
"Your Majesty, the matter between Xia Chunyu and Ye Jinxuan is now known to the whole city and has become a good story. If the Emperor insists on breaking them up, I'm afraid it will be difficult for everyone in the world to stop talking." He Lianxuan said solemnly. He knew that Ye Jinxuan was bold and continued to do so that day. He dares to scold? Today I finally saw how courageous she was, and the emperor was still scolded by her. Well, how should I put it? He admired this woman.
"Prince Helian, please stop talking. Good stories usually end in tragedy. I am not afraid of death. Anyway, I only have one life, but Chun Yu cannot die. He is the prince and has a bright future. It is only because he is too good. , maybe it was because all the good men in the world were dead that they targeted him. Forget it, everyone will understand." Ye Jiayao said magnanimously.
