In less than ten days, the rumors have spread all over the sky, and the content has become more and more excessive. The Queen has also sent people several times. Ye Huaiyang has deliberately refused to show that she would rather die than be with Chu Jinglan. The Queen is watching After confirming her loyalty, he began to win her over as his own eyeliner, coercion and temptation to perform in turn, Ye Huaiyang seemed to be unable to hold it under the great pressure, but in fact it was for others to see, in fact The move hit her heart.
The only disappointment was Chu Jinglan's attitude.
He has never been to the palace since his work, and he has never expressed any opinion. He never leaves the house despite the chaos outside.
Ye Huaiyang knew that this time he really annoyed him.
She has always been very sure of everything she does. Even if she deviates from the original line, she can correct it in time. She has always been proud of this, but when she encounters Chu Jinglan, she is completely out of control. When I was thinking, I was always full of phantoms in my palms like a moon in the water, mixed with reality and reality.
Crescent Moon looked at her gloomy and thought she was influenced by gossip, and was about to enlighten her, but she turned her back and went to sleep, and asked Crescent Moon to wake her up shortly after.
"Miss, are you going out this afternoon?"
She said briefly, "I want to enter the palace."
Before, she also thought that the queen mother would not let her marry Chu Jinglan easily, but she didn't expect that the additional condition was to let her monitor him. This idea should be the queen's idea, otherwise she would not have sent people to lobby her repeatedly. After a long time, she seems to have done almost the same, and it may be counterproductive if she drags it on, so she decided to agree to it today.
Yizhi, she is his princess.
She hid this expectation in the bottom of her heart, and came to the Donghuang Palace on time as usual, but she never expected to see a bright yellow figure when she walked into the gate of the palace, her gloomy eyes shrouded her, and her palm instantly overflowed with thinness. sweat.
The emperor is actually here today!
She realized that something was wrong, and she became more cautious in her words and deeds. Her face painted with a touch of rouge showed almost no emotion except respect.
"The ministers and daughters respectfully invite the emperor and the queen to be holy."
She has been in contact with her a lot recently. The queen has always been smiling at her, but her face is not very natural. Even though she was in her palace, she couldn't go beyond the rules without the emperor opening her mouth. She had to watch Ye Huaiyang kneeling there. The ice is really driving away the heat, Ye Huaiyang gradually dissipated the sweat, and his heart became more and more calm.
"Are you Ye Huaiyang?"
The emperor's cold voice filled the hall, with a distant and irresistible pressure, Ye Huaiyang bowed his head and replied softly: "Back to the emperor, it is the minister's daughter."
"I don't know when the Queen and Ye Shi got so close."
After speaking, the emperor slowly turned his head to look at the queen, with an intriguing smile on his face, the queen secretly tightened her mind, but her demeanor was as gentle and submissive as ever.
"The emperor didn't know anything. The queen mother has been sick for the past few days, so she has handed over the matter of the white nobles to the concubine. The concubine must understand all the details before making a judgment, so she summoned the Ye girl several times. "
"Since that's the case, I just happened to hear the ins and outs, Ye Huaiyang, you might as well say it from beginning to end."
The emperor raised his legs high, and took the tea cup and flicked it again and again, as if he was going to spend it with them.
It has been so many days, someone has already reported the cause to the emperor one by one, but now he wants to listen to Ye Huaiyang's own words, he must want to pick out the thorns in order to justify Bai Zhixuan, this cheap Woman, she must have said something in front of the emperor, she is really haunted!
Ye Huaiyang had been quietly observing for a while when the queen was secretly slandering her. She intuitively told her that the emperor was not just here for Bai Zhixuan. clues.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the queen timidly, and said softly: "Qi, the emperor, the matter is like this, more than ten days ago, the noble invited the ministers and daughters to enter the palace to talk, and the ministers arrived as promised, and then the nobles said that they would like to When I went to enjoy the flowers, I took the courtier to the side garden. Who knew that as soon as I walked into the palace, Miss Xing'er closed the door, and... and forced the courtier to drink the cup of tea. On the ground, Miss Xing'er was furious, and suddenly took out a dagger and put it on the court lady's neck, and forced the court lady to take another pill, and later... Later..."
Ye Huaiyang couldn't tell her words again, crystal tears rolled in her eyes, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she played the grievance and shame of a girl in her boudoir who suffered such an unbearable thing. Even the queen looked a little bit. He couldn't bear it in his heart, but the emperor was not moved by it.
"What happened afterward?"
Ye Huaiyang bit her lips, her face flushed red, and she involuntarily cast a look of help at the queen.
The queen was in a state of confusion. She was afraid that Ye Huaiyang would be forced by the emperor to temporarily change her rhetoric, and she was afraid that the emperor would get angry and do something to her. No matter what the outcome was, it would be beneficial to Bai Zhixuan's exoneration. She must not let it go. This kind of thing happened, thinking of this, the queen said softly: "Your Majesty, Miss Ye was already unconscious at that time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to tell what happened next, the concubine was also at the scene at the time, and she could see clearly, Miss Ye grabbed the door and walked away. She came out and almost fell down the steps, but it was the emperor's younger brother who saved her."
"Rescue? When the queen mentioned this word, it reminded me of an old incident." The emperor raised his arms, walked slowly to Ye Huaiyang, pinched her chin and said word by word, "Ten years ago, Bai Lian It seems that the emperor's younger brother also saved you when the teaching was in trouble, right?"
He actually knew this!
Ye Huaiyang's heart suddenly turned violent, and she was about to suffocate. At this moment, she realized how terrifying the man in front of her was, but within a few seconds, she had calmed down and responded.
"Ten years ago... White Lotus Sect?"
Seeing her ignorant face, the emperor said with a half-smile, "You were young at the time, so it's normal that you don't remember."
Ye Huaiyang knew that the emperor was testing her, and the alarm bell rang in his heart, thinking that if he followed his words, it would definitely arouse his suspicions, so it would be better to do the opposite.
"No, Your Majesty, the minister remembers that someone saved her back then, but if that person is the prince..." Her tears rolled down her eyes, but her eyes were very firm, "The minister would rather be ungrateful than marry him!"
Seeing that her hard work for so many days was about to be ruined, the queen did not care about etiquette, and interjected to persuade: "The most important thing is women's festivals in ancient times, what are you talking about..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was pierced by that cold gaze, and she didn't dare to make a sound for a moment, and then she heard the emperor say, "Oh? Why is this?"
"Because the elder brother of the minister and daughter said he had wolf ambitions!" Ye Huaiyang gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and shouted these words before lying on the ground, his back trembling faintly, sweat dripping from his cheeks, looking very frightened.
The emperor's reaction was somewhat intriguing. He neither reprimanded her nor continued to ask questions. His voice was light and soft: "Ye Huaiyang, do you know that slandering the prince in private is a serious crime of looting and annihilating the family?"
"The courtier knows." She raised her head and straightened her neck under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, her face full of righteousness, "But the elder brother has taught the courtier, and the Ye family should be loyal even if they die."
The emperor was silent, with a sharp light in his eyes, pressing down on her heartstrings, extremely heavy.
Needless to say, Ye Huaili's loyalty has been diligently stationed in Guanzhong for so many years. The sentence "I think that His Royal Highness Prince Lan is not suitable for entering the court and discussing politics" on the reception banquet is even more popular with the emperor. The second time he mentioned his teachings, the words were convincing, and they were like oracles, which made the emperor put down some suspicions.
Just at this tense moment, the queen suddenly walked up to her and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine has something to announce."
The emperor looked at her indifferently: "Say."
"My concubine and my concubine discovered that the date of the paternity of nobleman Bai had been tampered with during the inspection of the daily life note a few days ago. I wanted to wait until someone was caught and then report it to you, but..." Before she could finish her words, the emperor turned his face sharply. Come on, the gloomy look made her automatically mute her voice.
A sneer overflowed from Ye Huaiyang's lips, who was lying on the ground, and disappeared in an instant.
The queen is really shrewd. She specially picks shots when the emperor is hesitant, avoiding the wrath of thunder and selling her own favor. It really serves multiple purposes. Having said that, this living note must have been faked by the queen, the purpose is to make the emperor suspect that Bai Zhixuan is having an affair, and this piece of meat in her stomach may soon become a reminder.
Light footsteps sounded in my ears. It turned out that the palace maid came holding the living note, and then walked to the emperor. He raised his hand and lifted it out a long way. He knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Your Majesty, calm down, your concubine..."
"Shut up!" The emperor was furious, exuding terrifying anger, "Queen, you are really my good queen!"
After all, he flicked his sleeves and left, and the sound of his clothes being loosened came to everyone's ears like rolling thunder, and even his heart was numb, and it took a long time to recover.
The queen was supported by Qian'er to get up. After sitting back on the throne, her face was still a little pale, and she slowly exhaled and said: "Ye Huaiyang, this palace has offended the emperor for you."
Ye Huaiyang was still in shock, so he just kowtowed and didn't say a word.
"Get up, don't just know how to kowtow, your Ye family's loyalty and righteousness will let Ben Gong see and see."
Ye Huaiyang murmured and asked, "Maiden's meaning is..."
The queen glanced at her with a displeased expression on her face, "It's a fact that the Bai family is seeking refuge with King Lan, you should contribute to the emperor and the court, and you should also think about yourself, this palace has protected you today, I can't tell tomorrow."
There were two more lines of tears streaming down her cheeks, and there seemed to be thousands of disagreements in her heart, but she forcefully squeezed four words out of her teeth: "My servant... as ordered."
"That's right." The queen smiled lightly with her lips raised, and waved her hand to order her to step back, "Okay, go back and wait for the order."
She saluted again and left the hall silently, showing no expression all the way, until she sighed in relief until she got out of the palace gate and got on the carriage.
At this moment, Xie Guogong's residence—
Bai Xizhi had been waiting in the front hall for an hour, and finally saw Xie Yuan, who had arrived late. It is reasonable to say that this was already a neglect, but he couldn't care about so much, and he hurried forward to chat as soon as the servant left. .
"Mr. Xie, listen to me. The Ye family has joined forces with King Lan. This time it's for my Bai family. It's your Xie family who will be destroyed next time, so be careful!"
Xie Yuan turned the gold and silver beads in his hand and said indifferently: "Bai Gong, what you said last time was these words, but so far I haven't been able to produce any evidence. Instead, your daughter's guilt has been revealed one by one, forgive me. Honestly, I really can't believe you..."
Bai Xizhi's face turned white and red, embarrassment, shame, and anger surged into his heart, and he almost carried his back in one breath. However, the Bai family was at the point of life and death, and he had to hold on to this tone no matter what to ask for help from the Xie family. , otherwise there is no hope.
What kind of cunning and cunning is Xie Yuan? Not to mention that he doesn't believe what Bai Xizhi said, even if he did, he would probably sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. In his eyes, the Ye family would be able to fight with the Bai family. If he really wanted to move him, the Xie family might not have that strength. .
"Xie Gong, you believe me, I really..."
Just hearing a click, and there was a change from the window, Xie Yuan immediately walked over to the window and pushed open the window. The breeze came outside, the green willows were green, and no one passed by as usual. He carefully checked for a long time before Re-close tightly.
Xie Yun, who was huddled in the corner of the stone corridor, was relieved and quickly slipped out of the yard.
