Because of Nie Fengxing's words, this palace banquet had long lost its flavor to Ye Huangyu. She drank wine and ate vegetables numbly, and answered the emperor's questions carelessly.
"My lord, it's been a long time since you and Feng Xing talked about the past. The concubine looks at you, it seems that you have endless things to say, why don't the concubine take Vice General Ye for a walk in the palace, and you and Feng Xing have a good chat."
After drinking for three rounds, Empress Liu got up on the grounds that she was too strong to drink.
She kindly invited Ye Huangyu to visit the imperial garden with her.
It is summer in the summer capital, and the lotus blossoms are in full bloom in the river pond of the Imperial Garden.
Emperor Xia agreed to the two, and left Nie Fengxing to continue drinking.
When Empress Liu was gone, Nie Fengxing suddenly put down his wine glass.
"Uncle, Fengxing has something important to tell you."
Seeing that Nie Fengxing suddenly became serious, Emperor Xia understood, he waved his hand, signaling all the maids and eunuchs beside him to retreat.
Only then did Nie Fengxing tell Emperor Xia everything about Xia Houhong's collusion with Beiqing, who was not of royal blood.
After hearing this, Emperor Xia's expression changed.
"Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true, if you still don't believe my cousin, you can immediately summon Concubine Luo to confront her. I have also found someone to find the old eunuch who chose Concubine Luo to enter the palace, and proved that Concubine Luo was in the palace when she entered the palace. She is no longer a perfect body, she was already a month pregnant at that time."
Although Nie Fengxing firmly believed in Ye Lingyue's words.
But slandering the imperial concubine is a capital offense, and this matter also involves the blood of the royal family.
So Nie Fengxing investigated very carefully, arrested the eunuchs and palace maids who were sold by Concubine Luo, and interrogated them to confirm that what Ye Lingyue said was true.
Emperor Xia immediately summoned several witnesses to prove that what Nie Fengxing said was true.
"Come on, bring that bitch Luo Wan to see me." Emperor Xia was furious when he heard the news.
He actually wore the green hat for more than ten years in vain, and even almost made this bastard enthroned as emperor.
"My Majesty, Concubine Luo Gui is no longer in the palace. Even the maids and eunuchs who served her have been killed." The Imperial Army went to Concubine Luo's palace and found that there was no one in the palace.
A few days ago, when the news of the fourth prince's death came back, Concubine Luo Gui was heartbroken, and no one dared to disturb her. Unexpectedly, she had already sneaked away.
Unexpectedly, the person next to him for many years is a white-eyed wolf, Xia Di is depressed, and his mood at this time is full of mixed feelings.
"Your Majesty, about Deputy General Ye..." Nie Fengxing hesitated, wondering if he should explain Ye Huangyu's gender to the emperor.
"I have already ordered the military department to file a record. If his innocence is investigated, he will be named a general in a few days. I am tired today, you can step down."
Emperor Xia waved his hand, unwilling to listen further, Nie Fengxing had no choice but to back down.
After Nie Feng walked out of the imperial garden, he searched around, but he didn't see Ye Huangyu and Queen Liu. He was anxious, so he searched around in the summer palace.
After walking a few steps, I saw an old nanny walking towards me, and at first glance, it was the old nanny in front of the empress dowager.
"Senior Nie, this old slave is looking for you. The Empress Dowager heard that you entered the palace and asked you to go to Baifeng Palace to see her."
Nie Fengxing had no choice but to follow the old mother to the Empress Dowager's Palace.
In a side garden of the Imperial Garden.
The nao green pool water is full of red, white, pink, yellow and purple lotus flowers.
The lotus is either in full bloom, or half-closed, swaying slightly in the summer wind, and the dewdrops on the lotus leaves are crystal clear and rolling gently, forming a summer scene of a lotus pond.
Ye Huangyu followed Empress Liu, one behind the other, Empress Liu asked some interesting things about the frontier from time to time, without any airs.
Ye Huangyu replied casually, but her mind was still on Nie Fengxing's background.
"Vice General Ye, you are guilty!" Empress Liu, who was originally kind and kind, walked to a secluded place in the imperial garden, and suddenly retreated from the left and right, angrily reprimanded.
Ye Huangyu, who was still in a daze, suddenly raised her head when she heard the scolding.
"The empress made atonement, I deserve to die, I offended the empress." Ye Huangyu was shocked, thinking that her lack of focus just now had offended Empress Liu.
"Ye Huangyu, how long are you going to hide your identity?" Empress Liu sighed and helped Ye Huangyu up.
Ye Huangyu was startled.
"That girl Ling Yue has already written a letter to tell me. There is no one else here, so you don't have to be nervous, just get up and talk." Empress Liu received an urgent letter from Ye Lingyue a few days ago.
In addition to talking about Xia Houhong's life experience, the letter also mentioned that his mother Ye Huangyu pretended to be a man and joined the Tiger Wolf Army.
In the letter, Ye Lingyue hoped that Empress Liu would try her best to help her mother.
Empress Liu was a little angry at Ye Huangyu's reckless behavior at first, but thinking of Ye Huangyu's miserable experience, she felt that it was not easy for her.
Now that she has made great contributions to Da Xia, after all, the mother and daughter of the Ye family are both considered strange women.
What's more, Ye Lingyue eradicated Empress Liu from Xia Houhong, and eliminated the trouble of Concubine Luo Gui for her. For this alone, Empress Liu had to return the favor of Ye Lingyue.
Empress Liu had already made up her mind to keep Ye Huangyu no matter what.
"Speaking of which, we almost became in-laws. It's a pity that Qi'er is not lucky enough to marry a good girl like Ling Yue." Empress Liu sighed. It has been almost three months since Ye Lingyue left Xia Du. Moody all the time.
The Empress Dowager and Empress Liu talked about everything, but Xia Houqi was still unwilling to accept a concubine.
Empress Liu, as a mother, can only be anxious.
Ye Huangyu, the mother, was even more embarrassed when she learned that her daughter was pulling the needle.
Although she gave birth to her daughter, how does Ye Huangyu feel that since her daughter became smarter, she has been secretly taking care of her.
"The Holy Majesty has ordered the military department to file a record. You have made great achievements this time, and you will definitely be named a general. But how long do you plan to hide your identity? And between you and Nie Fengxing?"
Empress Liu is someone who has been there, and just now Nie Fengxing is so devoted to protecting Ye Huangyu, Empress Liu can see that Nie Fengxing, who has always been a slut, has been sincerely moved this time.
It's just that Ye Huangyu's status as a married woman is probably unacceptable to Guanwuhou's mansion, especially the stubborn old Guanwuhou.
Ye Huangyu could also hear the implication of Empress Liu's words.
She said slightly bitterly.
"I also know that this time, I have committed the great crime of deceiving the emperor. I will personally apologize to the Holy Majesty. As for General Nie, I... have never thought of climbing high." Ye Huangyu said at this time, her nose seemed to be stuck in a bug. Like, slightly sour.
Ye Huangyu's fingers were twisted together, her knuckles were all white, her heart was very painful.
