"Tell me, what is there about you that is worthy of my framing you, is it your favor, your family background, or your offspring?" Ye Jun sneered and retorted bluntly.
After hearing this, Yao Xiang became a little more out of breath.
Indeed, Ye Jun was not weaker than her in any aspect, and was even much stronger than her. There was really no need to go to the trouble of framing her.
However, Yao Xiang only paused for a moment, and immediately said, "Because I found out that you used someone else's knife to murder Miss Wan!"
"Your Majesty, I have always felt that there are doubts about the incident with Lady Wan, so I ordered someone to investigate secretly. I think that the fragrant dew mentioned by the poisoned maid was possessed by both Ming Shunyi and Xie. Even if Xie has admitted it, it is possible that Ming Shunyi knew about Xie's scheme and used it to destroy Lady Wan."
Yao Xiang quickly started to bite, glanced at Nian Wen next to him, and immediately added.
"Nianwen is the senior maidservant beside me. It's not surprising that she can hide things beside me. She must have been instructed by someone to hide these things beside me!"
At this moment, Yao Xiang was trying every possible way to shirk responsibility.
If she admitted this, she would die without a burial place.
Ning Chen looked at the woman in front of him who was desperately defending herself, and his heart was already chilled.
Last time, because of the grace of saving her life, she did not investigate the matter of Su's miscarriage and blaming her for it. Now that such a thing happened again, he had no trust in Yao Xiang at all.
He just asked Huai'an who was standing beside him, "Where did you find these things?"
"Your Majesty, we found it at the third princess' residence," Huai'an said.
Ning Chen's eyes became even colder. "You just said that you shouldn't disturb the child. Ming Shunyi said that she would not search the child's residence, so you agreed to search the palace. You also said that Ming Shunyi asked someone to hide these in your palace. Don't you know where she hid them?"
Yao Xiang moved his mouth, "Maybe... it was Huai'an..."
"You don't want to say that Ming Shunyi bribed Huai'an, do you? Remember, I just told you in person in front of you not to disturb the child. The reason why Huai'an searched the residence of the third princess is that I don't believe you!"
Ning Chen shouted angrily, interrupting her directly.
At that moment, Yao Xiang froze.
Then he knelt down as if all his bones were pulled out, and began to laugh inexplicably.
"Hahahaha, you don't believe me, you don't believe me. It turns out that in your heart, Your Majesty has never believed in me." Yao Xiang raised her head, tears in the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were full of sarcasm and sadness. "Your Majesty, is this the reason why you never favor me? I have been with you in two lifetimes, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen didn't quite understand such crazy talk and frowned slightly.
But Ye Jun understood and was deeply shocked.
So Yao is the one who lived a new life
Living a second life, you will naturally have a better control and understanding of the development patterns and layout of things, and then many things will make sense.
At this moment, Yao Xiang's gaze had already moved to Ye Jun, and his eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, like a ghost.
"Ye, why haven't you died yet? You should die. Only when you die will everything return to normal. It's all your fault. Everything I have has been ruined by you. Go to hell!"
As he was speaking, Yao Xiang suddenly jumped up, pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed Ye Jun in the chest.
At the critical moment, Ning Chen reacted quickly, pulled Ye Jun away, and kicked Yao Xiang hard.
This time, Yao Xiang was kicked to the ground, but the hairpin in her hand also cut Ning Chen's robe and stabbed Ning Chen's calf.
"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor, quickly hold down this crazy woman!" Yuan Jiu was horrified and hurriedly moved over to protect his master.
The eunuchs in the room immediately rushed forward and held Yao Xiang down.
But this still couldn't make Yao Xiang shut up.
"Ning Chen, you betrayed me. It was you who betrayed me. I have lived two lives for you. Why do you want to betray me? Ye, you bitch, you shall not die well... wuwuwu"
"Shut up! Your foul language is polluting the ears of the Emperor and Shunyi!"
Kong Qing pulled out a handkerchief without hesitation and stuffed it into Yao Xiang's mouth.
"Take her away and lock her up. Put all the servants around her in jail for interrogation." Ning Chen said angrily.
The servants quickly tied the man up and dragged him away.
Ye Jun didn't care that there were other people in the room at this time. He immediately squatted down, took off Ning Chen's shoes, and rolled up his trouser legs to check his injuries.
The cut was neither shallow nor short, which showed that Yao had put in a lot of effort.
I didn't even dare to think about what would happen if this thing really stabbed me in the chest.
"Your Majesty, how could you be so stupid as to rush forward to block it for me? If I get hurt, I will be a sinner for eternity!"
Ye Jun was blaming her, but her eyes were full of heartache.
Ning Chen smiled, took her hand and let her stand up, "I said I would protect you. I am the emperor, how can I break my promise? This is not a serious injury. I can ask the imperial physician to bandage it. Don't worry."
As he spoke, Ye Jun suddenly turned his face away.
"What's wrong?" Ning Chen wondered and turned the man straight.
But there were two tear marks on Ye Jun's face.
"Why are you still crying? I'm fine, don't cry. Were you scared just now? Where's the imperial physician? Call him to come and take a look. Prescribe some tranquilizer and you'll be fine."
"Your Majesty treats me so well, I am afraid I am not worthy of your kindness."
Ye Jun suddenly reached out and hugged Ning Chen, whispering in his ear.
Because Ye Jun knew in her heart that no matter how good Ning Chen was to her, she could never accept that Ning Chen would never belong to her completely.
She may love Ning Chen, but this love appeared in the harem where it should not appear, so she can only restrain and suppress it, and perhaps she will never be able to release it in this lifetime.
Unlike Ning Chen, he clearly protected, favored and trusted her.
This is something Ye Jun cannot do at the moment, and may never be able to do it.
After all, from the very beginning, she positioned their relationship as one in which both parties got what they wanted.
"Okay, stop imagining nonsense. I said you are worthy, so you are worthy. It's almost dawn now. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. Hurry up and wipe your face and go to sleep for a while. I will accompany you."
Ning Chen had no idea what Ye Jun was thinking. He just thought she was scared, so he said a few words to comfort her.
Ye Jun did not make any excuses and just responded obediently.
After lying down, for some unknown reason, she had a very long dream.
This harem was also in my dream, but it was completely different from now.
She died of illness less than two years after entering the palace. On the contrary, Yao Xiang schemed all the way and gave birth to the fourth prince Ning Yuyan, overthrew Queen Xie, entered the central palace, and helped her son ascend to the throne.
In the harem of the dream, there are many people who do not exist in this life. They seem vaguely the same yet different.
When I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
I slept for such a long time, it was like I experienced another story.
Ye Jun thought vaguely, maybe this was the previous life that Yao Xiang was talking about
She suddenly wanted to meet Yao Xiang.
But when she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the news that Fang Xiuyuan had committed suicide.
She died a tragic death when the exquisite hairpin given to her by the emperor when she entered the palace pierced her chest deeply.
