The emperor's pupils shrank suddenly, Ah Fu was from Lao Qi
What's the meaning? Lao Qi let someone harm someone and then put the blame on Xiu'er. He wants to deal with Xiu'er
Ah Fu suddenly turned around and glared at Ye Chip, yelling angrily, "Shut up, who told you to meddle in other people's business?"
This statement is obviously trying to hide the truth, there is no silver here. The emperor's expression changed, he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair suddenly, and shouted, "Qianqiu, go ahead and call Lao Qi."
"Yes." There was cold sweat on Miao Qianqiu's forehead, and he said to himself that it was bad, then he bowed and retreated.
Ye Xiu stared coldly at Ah Fu's glaring look, saying nothing but slightly tugging his lips.
Qi Hanwei narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ye Xiu, then moved his eyes to Ah Fu and Ye Zhao.
This Ye Chip... was obviously frightened just now, but at this juncture, he suddenly spoke out fearlessly and revealed Ah Fu's identity. Judging from his behavior of letting Ah Fu go, there must be some shady dealings between him and Ah Fu, and it is impossible to betray him at this moment.
So to say…
Qi Hanwei laughed, interesting, who does this Ah Fu belong to
The Seventh Prince Ye Haoting quickly walked into the main hall, followed by Concubine Meng who had been waiting in the wing for the rain to stop. Xu Shi had just passed under the rain curtain. When the two of them entered the hall, there was still a touch of moisture on their bodies, and their trouser legs were also slightly damp.
The two men stepped forward and saluted the emperor, then raised their eyes to look at the situation in the entire hall.
When she saw Ye Xiu alone, Concubine Meng's lips tightened instantly, and she immediately looked away.
However, when their eyes fell on Ah Fu who was tied up in an embarrassing manner, their eyebrows knitted deeply at the same time.
The expressions of Concubine Meng and Ye Haoting caught the emperor's eyes without missing a beat. The emperor looked gloomy and asked coldly, "Old Qi, do you know the person kneeling on the ground?"
"Back to my father, this person's name is Ah Fu, and he was a servant in the Erchen Villa many years ago." Ye Haoting did not hide anything, calmed down slightly, and answered loudly.
"Oh?" The emperor's gaze fell on him, "Then do you know that he killed someone and put all the blame on your fifth brother?"
Ye Haoting was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and knelt on the ground, speaking sincerely, "Father, Ah Fu had escaped from slavery many years ago and left my son's home. What he will do in the future, I have never known. I have asked him about it. Since he killed someone, he has committed a crime. Killing someone must be punished with a life, and my father will deal with it in accordance with the laws of Feng Cang Kingdom. My son and I have nothing to do with him and will not intercede for a murderer."
The emperor squinted his eyes and stared at Ye Haoting for a while.
After a long while, he spoke lazily, "But this Ah Fu... said he was under your orders."
Ye Xiu laughed alone. Ah Fu never said this. Is the emperor planning to blow up Lao Qi
The Seventh Prince frowned and stared at Ah Fu for a long time. When he turned around, he was still neither arrogant nor humble, "Father, if Ah Fu says he is under my orders, then it means he has a grudge in his heart and is using this to wrong his son and minister."
"Resent?" The emperor was confused.
Concubine Meng glared at Ah Fu fiercely and walked up to the emperor's head. "Your Majesty, Ah Fu once fell in love with a woman many years ago. However, the woman was of unknown origin and acted strangely. She was caught on the spot by Haoting. She stole and harmed others. The concubine made the decision and ordered the woman to die. Ah Fu held a grudge, but after all Ah Fu was a servant of another house and had taken care of Haoting for many years. The concubine and Haoting felt guilty about him, so they got rid of him. As a slave, let him be an ordinary citizen."
After that, he sighed secretly to Ah Fu, "I thought that doing this would make Ah Fu feel better, but I didn't expect that he still couldn't let go of what happened back then. Haoting is Xiu'er's biological brother, and they The two brothers have always been friendly, so why would Haoting hurt Xiu'er? Doesn't this make Chen Concubine sad? Afuruo said it was Haoting who instigated it, fearing that he wanted to sow discord between the brothers and take revenge on Chen Concubine. Concubine."
This statement makes perfect sense. Although Concubine Meng is just guessing, it is in no way different from the facts.
She was very calm, and even though she was suspected by the emperor, she still spoke clearly and explained properly.
The emperor nodded slightly, feeling that what Concubine Meng said was reasonable.
However, there has never been such a thing as brothers and sisters in the royal family, and besides, the relationship between Xiu'er and Haoting... he also knew it. He believed that Xiu'er and Ye Haoran had a closer relationship.
In any case, Ah Fu's behavior just now, and his current behavior of lowering his head and saying nothing to defend himself, are more like that. Some seeds of doubt were planted in the emperor's heart.
Ye Zhao knew this, and Ah Fu knew it. So sometimes silence may be more powerful for them.
After a long time, Ah Fu suddenly chuckled lowly. His eyes staring at Concubine Meng and the Seventh Prince were full of emotion and tragedy. The corners of his lips moved, and he didn't know what he said. But the emperor frowned and saw clearly that the silent words were clearly a kind of farewell.
Ah Fu seemed to be saying, 'Master, I can no longer serve you. Take care and see you in the next life.'
As soon as the emperor understood what Ah Fu meant, he was suddenly startled. Before he could react, Ah Fu quickly stood up from the ground and slammed into a pillar on the side.
He hit hard, and it was clear that he looked at death as if he was going to die, and he didn't want to save his life at all.
Ye Xiudu just narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his fingers, but he had no intention of saving anyone. Peng Ying wanted to stop him, but Ah Fu calculated the timing and the direction exactly, and didn't give him a chance to take action.
Ah Fu slowly slid down the pillar, and the blood on his forehead gurgled out.
But those shimmering eyes were looking at Ye Haoting with reluctance.
The emperor's face darkened, and he squeezed it tightly with his fingers.
Ye Haoting was shocked and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ah Fu's collar, "What are you doing? Get up and speak clearly. Who in the end instigated you to frame me and slander Fifth Brother? Get up, Ah Fu."
Ah Fu was breathing heavily, but soon, his breathing gradually dissipated and slowly stopped.
Concubine Meng's face was ashen as she stared at Ah Fu, who suddenly hit a pillar and died. The fingers hanging on her sleeves suddenly tightened, and her fingers were deeply embedded in the palm of her hand.
The emperor suddenly waved his sleeves and said in a cold voice, "That's enough, Old Seventh. Everyone is dead. There is no evidence to prove their death, and they can't speak. It's useless no matter how you scream."
Ye Haoting suddenly froze while holding Ah Fu's hand, raised his eyes and quickly looked at Concubine Meng.
Wha, what do you mean? Is the emperor... doubting him
