The emperor announced to the world that the eighth prince, Ye Haoran, would be demoted to a commoner from today on and would no longer have anything to do with the royal family.
Everyone's jaw dropped in shock, common people
This result not only shocked those in the court, but also Yu Qingluo, who couldn't help but be stunned.
"I thought the emperor would confine him to the Eighth Prince's Mansion and have his every move monitored. From now on, he would not have any contact with the outside world." Yu Qingluo frowned and leaned on the soft couch in the study, " Or, what’s more serious, if you were directly sent into exile, how could you be... demoted to a commoner?"
"You think this result is not good?" Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows alone, sat behind the desk, looked at the note in his hand, and slowly crumpled it into a ball.
Yu Qingluo stared at his movements strangely, quickly stood up from the soft couch, walked to him, and quickly took out the note from his hand.
After just reading one word, she felt that the handwriting on it seemed familiar. She should have seen it somewhere.
Looking further, his pupils couldn't help but widen, "Is this... the news Ye Haoran gave you?"
"Yes." Ye Xiu put the note on the candlestick alone, and after a while, it turned into a ball of ashes.
Yu Qingluo understood that it was Ye Haoran's wish to be demoted to a common people.
If he is still a prince, but loses his freedom and becomes a forbidden puppet who can only be confined to a small prince's palace for life and is not allowed to go out, he might as well not have such an identity.
It just so happened that since the emperor was not at ease with him, and since he felt that he might avenge Concubine Wan, or ignite his ambition, it would be better to... avoid future troubles forever, and make him lose his status as a prince and lose his qualifications to compete for the throne.
Yu Qingluo glanced at Ye Xiu and said thoughtfully, "I remember, when you came back yesterday, you said that the emperor planned to ban Ye Haoran. You went to the palace at night, and today... the result changed. .”
Ye Xiu laughed alone and said nothing.
How many people in this court hope that Ye Haoran and Concubine Wan are related, and how many people hope that Lao Ba will disappear. The morning sessions these past few days have been filled with denunciations of Lao Ba.
It is also a good thing for Lao Ba that this matter can be decided as soon as possible.
Ye Xiu stretched out his hand alone, pulled Yu Qingluo onto his lap and sat down, gently stroking her back with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Lao Ba will be out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Over there, Jin Liuli, you can come back." Go ahead and say it.”
Lao Ba was demoted to the common people, and Jin Liuli was able to achieve enlightenment.
Yu Qingluo nodded, her mood couldn't be said to be happy or uncomfortable, it was very complicated.
But the good thing is that from now on, the emperor will probably not arrest Liuli again.
When Yu Qingluo thought of this, she pursed her lips and relaxed.
Jin Liuli's injury slowly recovered, but after all, it was quite serious, and she was worried about Ye Haoran. The condition would inevitably relapse, and recovery would be slow.
Fortunately, she was quite obedient. Yu Qingluo didn't allow her to get up and go out, so she lay in bed obediently and slept most of the time.
When Yu Qingluo walked in the door, she had just woken up. When he saw her, he twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.
"I just dreamed about you."
Yu Qingluo moved a stool and sat in front of her. In fact, she knew that even if Jin Liuli slept, he did not sleep peacefully and was probably having nightmares.
Hongye poured her a glass of water and exited the room with a smile.
She was also very busy these days. She was the only one in the house who learned some simple medical skills from Yu Qingluo, so she took care of Wen Tian and Jin Liuli at the same time. Fortunately, Wen Tian was almost recovered. As long as she kept an eye on him and didn't let him mess around, she felt that her life was quite fulfilling.
Yu Qingluo took a sip of tea and gently placed her fingers on the edge, but hesitated to speak.
"You have something to tell me?"
Jin Liuli asked her with a smile, but the hand that was placed on the brocade quilt was quickly clenched.
Yu Qingluo had been chatting with him a lot these days, but it had always been random chatter about the north and south, or interesting things about the south and the south, but he had never looked like this, and it was so difficult to talk about it.
Jin Liuli knew that she was probably going to tell him about Ye Haoran.
Taking a slow, deep breath, Jin Liuli twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "It doesn't matter, just tell me, I'm mentally prepared, after all... I haven't seen him appear during this time, and you guys have been silent. I knew something was wrong."
Yu Qingluo was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw her smiling face that was even uglier than crying. She couldn't help but frown, and put her fingers on the corners of her mouth, tugging gently, "Okay, don't laugh. In fact, although something happened , but for you, it may not be a bad thing."
Jin Liuli was surprised, "It's not a bad thing? Then he... was he injured?"
"No injuries, but after staying in the prison for a few days, I guess she won't be in good spirits. Also... Concubine Wan is dead."
Jin Liuli gasped suddenly and stared at Yu Qingluo in shock, "Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan..."
Yu Qingluo nodded, sighed, and then told her in detail what happened during the period after she was injured.
Jin Liuli was stunned when he heard this. His fingers tightened and loosened, then loosened and tightened again. There was no response for a long time, and he even held his breath.
"Concubine Wan is also bold, and she actually attacked the emperor." Yu Qingluo glanced at her, and after a long time he said softly, "That poison was actually half a year ago, Concubine Wan let Xiao Bingzi be in the emperor's meal." I got it. Now that she knew that Ye Xiu had come back alone and brought me with her, Concubine Wan felt some scruples, so she asked Xiao Bingzi to stop the medicine. It was just that Jian Xiang betrayed Concubine Wan, and Concubine Meng caught her At this point, someone sent a message to Xiao Bingzi to start again."
"Speaking of which, Concubine Wan did do such a treacherous thing. It doesn't mean that she was wronged. It was just that Concubine Meng was behind it to add fuel to the flames and let the matter be exposed."
After Yu Qingluo finished speaking, she glanced at Jin Liuli again and saw that she was still silent with her lips pursed. He put the cup in his hand aside, patted her shoulder and said, "You have a good rest. I think you will meet soon. Then, let's have a good chat."
She knew that Jin Liuli needed to digest this information. What happened these days was so sudden that even she was a little confused.
Jin Liuli was injured, Ye Haoran was imprisoned, Concubine Wan was poisoned, Concubine Meng did something behind her back, the emperor was furious, Concubine Wan was sentenced to death, and Ye Haoran was demoted to a commoner, these things happened one by one, not to mention Jin Liuli, who had been involved in it from the beginning, felt that things developed a bit unexpectedly.
But overall, the solution isn't too bad.
The next day, a familiar yet unfamiliar person came to Prince Xiu's mansion.
