The eighth prince was imprisoned by the emperor.
The crime was that he was not doing things well and violated the emperor's orders.
These eight simple words confused everyone who knew the news. Without any specific incident, a dignified prince was thrown into jail. This incident instantly caused a sensation within the royal family and the ministers.
Some people tried to inquire about this matter and plead for Ye Haoting, but they were all kicked out by the emperor on the grounds that "those who plead will be punished with the same crime."
Some people were gloating over the misfortune, and the third prince, fourth prince, and others were trying every means to add insult to injury.
There are also people who are just watching from the sidelines, waiting for the situation to develop.
But no one knew the reason for this. Everyone just thought that Ye Haoran, who was sent by the emperor to perform a secret mission some time ago, messed up the matter, which made Long Ting furious and made the emperor go to war.
Only a few people knew the inside story. Concubine Meng held the note in her hand and laughed softly.
What's not going right? It just sounds a little nicer.
After all, the crime of elopement was placed on Ye Haoran. The person who was insulted was not Ye Haoran alone, but the entire royal family.
Concubine Wan knelt directly in the imperial study and begged the emperor to see her.
Although the emperor did not allow intercession, she was Ye Haoran's mother-in-law and could not turn a blind eye.
Ye Xiu turned around and looked at the study window, his fingers tightly grasping the window frame, his expression solemn.
Shen Ying was behind him and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Is there any way to save the Eighth Prince?"
"The top priority is not to rescue Lao Ba. He is the prince after all. No matter how angry my father is, he will not execute him because of this matter."
Shen Ying was puzzled, "Then..."
Ye Xiu Duhan said, "Father will not kill Lao Ba, but he will not show any mercy to Jin Liuli."
The royal family's methods have always been like this. As long as Jin Liuli is framed for seducing someone, and the following is an unfounded crime, no one can say anything.
Shen Ying was shocked, he didn't expect this level.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then we must get Miss Jin out of here as soon as possible."
Ye Xiu shook his head alone, "Mother Xiao said that Jin Liuli's injuries are too serious. Now is the critical moment and he cannot move. Otherwise, if the injury worsens, there may be no way to save him."
Wouldn’t that mean we can only sit back and wait for death
Shen Ying's face darkened, and his uneasiness gradually deepened.
After a while, Peng Ying's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Your Majesty."
"Come in."
Peng Ying quickly ducked into the study and handed the note in his hand to Ye Xiudu.
"The Eighth Prince secretly sent someone to send a message to his subordinates, saying that the Emperor was furious and could not accept any explanation from him. Before the Eighth Prince said a word, the Emperor hit him with the inkstone on the table and hurt him, scolding the Eighth Prince. There were a lot of charges, and the person was thrown into jail without saying a word. Now I'm afraid I have to deal with Miss Jin. The Eighth Prince asked the prince to save Miss Jin's life no matter what."
Ye Xiudu squeezed the note tightly, then placed it on the candle and burned it to ashes.
Shen Ying on the side listened and opened his mouth slightly. The prince's prediction was indeed correct. It seemed that Miss Jin was in less danger this time.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." While the three of them were silent, Butler Yang's somewhat panicked voice came from outside the door.
Peng Ying hurriedly opened the study door and let the housekeeper in.
Butler Yang wiped his sweat and panted, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Miao is here."
"Why did you come so fast?" Shen Ying's eyes widened and he nervously turned back to look at Ye Xiudu.
Ye Xiudu's face darkened, he suddenly flicked his sleeves and said in a cold voice, "Let's go."
Several people walked out of the study door and walked to the front yard. After walking a few steps, they saw Eunuch Miao walking inside with two people.
When he saw a few of them, he immediately stepped forward and saluted with a smile.
"My slave, please pay your respects to Lord Xiu. May the Lord be blessed."
"Mr. Miao, is there something wrong?" Ye Xiudu pretended to be ignorant and was led to the front hall.
Miao Qianqiu did not move, and continued to smile, but went straight to the topic, "My lord, wait a minute, this servant is following the emperor's instructions to bring a girl named Jin to the palace."
"A girl named Jin?" Ye Xiu turned to look at Butler Yang aside and asked, "Is there a servant named Jin in Prince Xiu's residence?"
Butler Yang seemed to think about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "Go back to the prince, there is a servant named Jin in the house. Is this old servant going to call him over to show Eunuch Miao?"
Ye Xiu nodded alone, "Well, go ahead."
Butler Yang nodded slightly, turned around and went down.
Within half an hour, I saw Butler Yang leading a short, dark-faced woman this way.
"Your Majesty, I've brought you here." Butler Yang pushed the woman.
The woman didn't even raise her head, and immediately knelt on the ground to say hello, looking a little frightened, "Slave, slave..."
"Get up." Ye Xiudu interrupted her hesitation and lowered his voice a bit.
He glanced at Miao Qianqiu and asked her slowly, "What's your name?"
"My name is Jinhua."
"You raise your head and let Eunuch Miao take a look."
Jinhua was startled for a moment, then slowly raised her head.
Miao Qianqiu only took one look and felt numb all over her body, and her legs couldn't help but take half a step back.
This woman was in her forties at worst. How could such a woman be the target of the Eighth Prince's elopement
Miao Qianqiu calmed down and soon realized that this was intentional by Prince Xiu. That's right, how could Prince Xiu hand over the girl that the Eighth Prince liked so easily? And it is said that the woman was obviously injured, and the Jinhua in front of her... was physically strong, so it was impossible.
"Eunuch Miao, is this the woman you are looking for? What has she committed? Father wants to summon her?"
When Jin Hua heard what her prince said, her face turned pale with fright, and she shook her head vigorously, "Your Majesty, this servant has been doing her duty. She has been burning firewood in the kitchen of the prince's palace and has never done anything wrong."
Butler Yang glared at her and told her to stop talking.
Jinhua lowered her head in grievance, but felt very uneasy in her heart.
Miao Qianqiu laughed, sighed and shook his head at Ye Xiudu, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing this servant. Your Majesty is a smart man, how could he not know who this servant is taking away?"
"I really don't know."
Miao Qianqiu had a headache, and the emperor just asked him to find a solution on his own. But how could he, a slave, be able to fight against the dignified Prince Xiu
The emperor himself had no choice but to leave this drudgery to his son.
But he couldn't afford to offend the prince.
"Your Highness, I have been worthy of you for all these years. Please don't embarrass me. If this matter is not handled well, my life will be in danger." Miao Qianqiu knew that Ye Xiudu had always been soft-hearted. Eat hard.
Besides, besides, he can't be hardened.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of my servant's devoted service to you and my loyalty to you these many years, I would like to save my life and let the girl named Jin go back with my servant."
