"Which one of your eyes sees, I'll dig out which of your eyes."
With blatant threats, and regardless of the presence of Lu Zhengchun and Emperor Yong Le, he dared to say such outrageous words. Lu Zhengchun almost raised his head angrily, Xie Jing Xing meant that it was clearly to make Ye Hongguang change his words in front of him! There are such bastards in the world!
“Now, tell me again.” Xie Jing Xing played with the gold ingot in his hand and said casually, “What did you see?”
Ye Hongguang had never seen such a battle before, and probably never thought that there would be someone who would dare to be unreasonable in front of the emperor. Under the tension, he looked at Ye Mei as if asking for help. Because of the crowd, the only one who had the closest relationship with him was Ye Mei.
But to Ye Hongguang's disappointment, Ye Mei did not help him, but lowered his head to avoid Ye Hongguang's gaze. In this way, Ye Hongguang was even more at a loss.
Neither Emperor Yong Le nor Empress Xian De spoke a word, originally Lu Zhengchun's arrogance was irritating, but Xie Jing Xing was not a bad person. When the two of them faced each other, it was Lu Zhengchun who was at a disadvantage when they looked horizontally and vertically, so the two of them would not speak.
Although Lu Zhengchun was also annoyed at Xie Jing Xing, he did not dare to act easily. Emperor Yong Le was considering the identity of the emperor, and Xie Jing Xing was different when it was time to tear his face. When Xie Jingxing returned to Long Ye, there were courtiers who pointed out their suspicions about Xie Jingxing at the Golden Palace, this one answered with a smile, not long after that, what happened to those courtiers? Xie Jing Xing was a ruthless man, and he was ruthless and would report back. Unless it was a last resort, one must not openly tear his face with him.
Ye Hongguang refused to speak, but Shen Miao calmed down at this time. She stepped forward and happened to be side by side with Xie Jing Xing, looked at the young man in the wheelchair, and said, "Did you really see me pushing Concubine Jing down?"
Ye Hongguang raised his head and looked at her, Shen Miao was a woman after all, Ye Hongguang was not so afraid of her, although his expression was still a little unnatural, he was much more daring, he hesitated for a while and nodded firmly.
She said, "Okay, then tell me, where were you?"
Ye Hongguang was stunned.
“Are you above the steps or below the steps?” Shen Miao followed suit. She slowed down her tone, like a gentle elder sister, but Ye Hongguang suddenly shrank his neck nervously because of her question.
Ye Mei, who was kneeling on the ground motionless, also trembled slightly.
Shen Miao did not give him a chance to think, she pressed step by step and asked, "Do you remember, above or below."
"Down, down." Ye Hongguang said.
Shen Miao laughed lightly.
Lu Zhengchun and Mrs. Lu looked at her furiously, as if they were annoyed that she could still laugh on this occasion. Empress Xian De's eyes relaxed slightly, Emperor Yong Le stared at Shen Miao, Xie Jing Xing hugged his chest and looked at Ye Hongguang with a smile that was not a smile.
“That is really strange.” Shen Miao said, “The steps are very long and steep, and it is precisely because of this that Concubine Jing fell so hard. With such long and steep steps, how can you clearly see who is standing on top of such long and steep steps? Me? I'm afraid I can't even see the shadow of Concubine Jing."
Ye Hongguang was stunned for a while, he was not very old and he did not leave the house all year round, he was already nervous when he saw Emperor Yong Le today, when Shen Miao said this, her expression became panicked.
Ye Mei slowly clenched his fists.
Shen Miao asked, "Young Master Ye, if you think about it again, you may have misunderstood, is it above or below?"
Ye Hongguang hurriedly said: "Above, I forgot, it's above!" He repeated it affirmatively.
Ye Mei on the ground suddenly shrugged her shoulders, as if she was a little discouraged.
Shen Miao was still smiling, but her eyes turned sharp and she said, "Oh? Young Master Ye has inconvenient legs and feet, so long stairs, I think I can't go up by myself, someone should carry you up, or hold you. You should also have your own servant by your side. How can you say that you are the only one who sees me pushing people, but there is no servant of yours?"
The house fell silent for a moment.
Large drops of sweat appeared on Ye Hongguang's forehead. His face was flushed red, and he was speechless for a while, as if he was guilty of being exposed to a lie.
Emperor Yongle said coldly, "Do you know what is the crime of deceiving the king?"
The crime of deceiving the king is to lose his head. It was also Ye Hongguang who could not be frightened, to know what Shen Miao said, if she was clever, she could find other excuses. For example, if a servant goes to get something and leaves him alone for a while, or something else, after all, most people will not confess their sins obediently, and they have to fight for it according to reason. But Ye Hongguang admitted his lie so easily. Obviously, he didn't do this often before, and he wasn't very skilled. If it were a veteran like Ye Mei, it would be much easier for Steam Eyes to talk nonsense.
The corners of Xie Jing Xing’s lips curled up, “Brother Huang, the officials and family members knowingly committed the crime, and the crime will be added one more level, so let’s just throw it to the Punishment Department, maybe parade through the streets?” He said lazily, “Otherwise, anyone can bully the people of Prince Rui’s residence, I Can't get over the day?"
Xie Jing Xing was clearly avenging his personal revenge, but he was not a kind person and never had a good impression of the Ye family. It only made Ye Mei's face pale, and Lu Zhengchun's face was also very ugly.
Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey. It is clear at a glance who is the chicken and who is the monkey.
Empress Xian De said, "Ye Hongguang, how dare you lie in the palace and try to slander the princess."
She spoke sternly, and Ye Hongguang almost cried out in fright. But Ye Mei ignored him. He had no familiar people in this palace, so he was very helpless.
“The young master of the Ye family is very young, so it is understandable to see things wrong for a while. Thinking of seeing Concubine Jing’s accident at that time, he was impatient for a while. Based on catching the murderer, it is possible to misunderstand anything.” Shen Miao excused Ye Hongguang.
Everyone was surprised by her actions like this, but Ye Hongguang slandered Shen Miao, although Shen Miao was not vicious, she would never show mercy to those who harmed her. Looking at the second and third bedrooms of the Shen family and even the Ming Qi royal family, she had never been soft-hearted. Therefore, at this moment, it is doubtful for Ye Hongguang to be open to the Internet.
Xie Jing Xing also frowned.
Shen Miao bent slightly, her eyes were level with Ye Hongguang, she said warmly, "Or, you misunderstood me because of what others said? Did someone teach you to say this?"
Ye Hongguang's body shook suddenly, Shen Miao was so close to him, one could clearly see the panic flashing in Ye Hongguang's eyes.
Ye Hongguang is really not good at lying. Although he doesn't show much, almost anyone with discernment can see that he is lying. Xie Jing Xing frowned, but Ye Hongguang raised his head again and looked at Shen Miao and said firmly, "No one taught me."
No one taught, but no longer insisted that Shen Miao was the murderer.
Shen Miao said, "I know."
Empress Xian De frowned, thought about it, and then said: "The matter of Concubine Jing will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial. Ye Hongguang, since you lied, you can't take it seriously. The body of Concubine Jing needs to be restrained." Finally, he looked at the Lu family and his wife and said, "What else does General Lu have to say?" At the end, his tone was already sarcastic.
Lu Zhengchun glanced at Empress Xian De, holding a sigh of relief in his heart. Back then when Emperor Yongle favored Concubine Jing, they were looking forward to Concubine Jing taking the place of Empress Xian De, but Empress Xian De's daily work was so hard to grasp that she failed to succeed for so many years. Lu Jing blew the pillow wind for Emperor Yong Le countless times, but in the end, Emperor Yong Le didn't have any thoughts of abolishing the queen. Finally, Lu Jing became pregnant with the dragon seed, and at this delicate time, she thought she could pull back a round.
In fact, Lu Zhengchun himself knew that Lu Jing was dead, and it was too late to say anything now. But he was not reconciled, and hoped that Emperor Yong Le could compensate him for something. Although he was annoyed by being so messed up today, he was not sad because of the tragic death of his daughter, but was just pity for the grandson of the dragon seed. Xie Jing Xing suddenly appeared, but Lu Zhengchun had to put away his arrogance, when it came to being ruthless, this Prince Rui was even worse, even more ruthless.
Knowing that there is nothing to gain today, Lu Zhengchun reluctantly said: "The minister follows the order."
On the side of Emperor Yong Le, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The Lu family left. From entering the palace to leaving the palace, they did not look at the dead concubine Jing from beginning to end, as if they were not their own daughters.
After they left, Emperor Yong Le said, "You guys should go back too."
Empress Xian De glanced at Emperor Yong Le in surprise. Ye Mei and Ye Hongguang were together with Concubine Jing at the time. Even though there was a talented person from Xiao Zhuli to testify, they were not able to clear up all the doubts. The other was simply red-mouthed and white-toothed to slander Shen Miao, these two were not the murderers and they would definitely not be spared. However, Emperor Yong Le did not intend to pursue it. Empress Xian De was puzzled, but when she saw Emperor Yong Le's body shaking slightly, she was shocked, but she didn't care about anything else, and immediately said: "Yes, let's go back now."
Xie Jing Xing frowned, but didn't say anything, just glanced coldly at Xie En's Ye Mei and the servant who pushed Ye Hongguang to stand up slowly, and hurriedly backed out. He said, "Since it's all right, my younger brother will step back first." Xie Jing Xing would never hide his emotions in front of Emperor Yong Le before, obviously, he was not very happy with Emperor Yong Le's treatment like this.
Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing left Jinghua Palace together, and when they were walking outside the palace, they happened to meet Ye Mei sister and brother. Shen Miao was slightly stunned, but Ye Hongguang suddenly ordered the servant who was pushing him to stop and turned to look at Shen Miao, as if he had something to say.
Xie Jing Xing's face was not very good-looking immediately, all the people of the Ye family were now classified as dangerous people by him, dangerous people approached Shen Miao, what should be done if something happened. So he followed closely, but the dagger in his sleeve came out of the scabbard quietly.
Shen Miao watched the young man stop in front of her, Ye Mei was looking towards here not far away with a nervous expression on her face, it seemed that she wanted to come over and stop Ye Hongguang's movements, but Tie Yi and Cong Yang stopped her, she could not dare not move.
Ye Hongguang raised his head and looked at her, blushing and seemed to be very shy and said, "I'm sorry." He seemed to want to say something, he hesitated for a while, and finally didn't say anything, then looked at Shen Miao again and pushed it by himself. Left in a wheelchair.
Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows as if he did not understand what Ye Hongguang meant, Shen Miao looked at his back with a complicated expression.
On the carriage back, Xie Jing Xing saw that Shen Miao had not spoken much, and said, "Let Mo Yu's army capture that kid in the tower, lock him up for a day or two, and then explain who is behind it honestly."
What he was talking about was Ye Hongguang, and today Ye Hongguang’s performance in the Jinghua Palace, if it was said that no one taught him to slander Shen Miao, no fool would believe it.
Shen Miao rolled her eyes at Xie Jing Xing, "Is there anything to explain, who else is there besides Ye Mei?"
Ye Mei's little actions of details could be hidden from others but not from her.
“Then why are you unhappy?” Xie Jing Xing pinched her face: “Seeing that kid today is very strange. Is there anything I don’t know?” He narrowed his eyes.
Shen Miao pushed his hand away: "You still remember the dream I told you that I had a son and a daughter in the dream."
Xie Jing Xing looked at her with a joking expression.
"The first time I saw Ye Hongguang, I felt that he was too similar to the child in my dream, my child. I thought he was the child in my dream. But he stood on Ye Mei's side and helped Ye Mei. Come to slander me, to be honest, I am very sad.” Shen Miao said, “But then I looked at it carefully and found that they are not the same, they just look alike. Speaking of which, thinking about it now, they only look alike. There are still many differences.”
After a brief period of surprise and sadness, Shen Miao kept paying attention to that beautiful young man. At first glance, he and Fu Ming looked almost the same, but their temperaments were completely different. Because Fu Ming was not favored by Fu Xiuyi, and because of her tit-for-tat relationship with Mrs. Mei, she was particularly precocious since she was a child. Fu Ming is generous, magnanimous, upright and kind. Fu Ming has the qualities that an excellent prince should have. But the child in front of him is an ordinary official young master, probably because of the inconvenience of legs and feet, and a little low self-esteem. Fu Ming would not lie, Fu Ming would not stand beside Ye Mei, and Fu Ming would not help Ye Mei to deal with her. The most important thing is that Shen Miao stood in front of the child without any ups and downs in her heart. There is a feeling between mother and son, if Fu Ming, she can feel it, her heart will not be so calm.
Ye Hongguang is not Fu Ming, but he is very similar to Fu Mingsheng. She was almost distracted, but quickly came to terms with it. No one knows his son better than a mother, so Ye Hongguang has no trace of Fu Ming. This made Shen Miao very disappointed, but also relieved at the same time. If Fu Ming really became a member of the Ye family in this life and the Ye family used him to deal with Shen Miao, that would be the last thing Shen Miao would like to see.
“Similar?” Xie Jing Xing wondered, “That’s why you are so tolerant towards him?”
“There is a reason for this.” Shen Miao said, “You can’t use a ruthless hand against that face. Besides, you also know that the culprit in this matter is someone else. Ye Hongguang was only used by others, I’m afraid he himself I don’t often lie, and it makes me laugh and cry when I tell a lie. It’s just that I am very strange,” Shen Miao said, “If this matter is really related to Ye Mei, why did Ye Mei push Concubine Jing down? This is not her behavior. , it always feels a little too hasty."
Xie Jing Xing smiled, "Or is it just an accident?"
"Accident?"
At the same time, Ye Mei and Ye Hongguang were on the carriage back to the residence.
Ye Hongguang was always very uneasy, the servant took him into the carriage and sat beside Ye Mei. Ye Mei, who was always soft-spoken on weekdays, didn't say a word to him after getting on the carriage, and Ye Hongguang's face showed some uneasy expression. He was about to speak, but Ye Mei suddenly said, "Third brother, what did you say to the princess before?"
Ye Mei was also smiling, this smile was the same as usual, but for some reason, Ye Hongguang felt a little scared. He hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I said sorry to her."
Ye Mei's face changed slightly.
"Prince Concubine looks like a good person." Ye Hongguang lowered his head and whispered: "I slandered her like that, she is not angry, she is also kind to me. She is a good person, and she doesn't look down on me as a lame... Big sister , I lied and wronged a good man, and I felt very uneasy."
"Didn't I say so?" Ye Mei frowned and said, "If you don't say so, the emperor and the empress will definitely suspect me, and it's fine if they suspect me, it's the whole Ye family who will be affected. I hope to see that my parents are also implicated. The royal people don't care about right and wrong, my parents are old, they are so tossed, and the face is small, what if they hurt their bodies?"
This is almost a bit rude. Ye Mei has always been polite and kind to Ye Hongguang, and Ye Hongguang also likes this fairy-like sister. It was the first time that Ye Mei was reprimanded like this, and he was still a little angry, and Ye Hongguang felt very uncomfortable. He didn't dare to say anything else, he just heard Ye Mei say again: "Besides, how do you know that she was wronged?"
"Prince Concubine herself said it wasn't her. The emperor and the empress also trusted her." Ye Hongguang whispered: "Sister, why do you have to lie? Why don't you let them suspect you and have to identify the princess? "
Ye Mei finally showed anger on her face, she looked at Ye Hongguang almost gloomily: "Would you rather believe her than my sister?"
Ye Hongguang shook his head: "I just think that the princess is not such a person."
She kept believing in Shen Miao, Ye Mei was annoyed beyond words. So did Emperor Yong Le, so did Empress Xian De, so did Prince Rui, and now even Ye Hongguang, what kind of magic trick Shen Miao had could always win the trust of others. Even she could not get any good in Shen Miao's hands.
Thinking of what happened before, Ye Mei couldn't help trembling.
She didn't expect that Lu Jing would be so arrogant and stupid. Ye Mei just listened to Ye Maocai's order and came over to inquire about the news with Lu Jing. Who knew that Lu Jing's jealousy was obvious. A person who can hold his breath.
It's just that Lu Jing was the first to get angry, and Lu Jing actually wanted to ruin her appearance.
Ye Mei had a bad temper. During the dispute, he missed and pushed Lu Jing down. She fled in a hurry, originally thinking of escaping in the chaos, Ye Maocai would definitely not blame her for her, Ye Mei could only rely on herself. However, it was only at this moment that she realized that she had not managed to find some way out for herself after being in Long Ye for such a long time. Even the backer of the Ye family is a situation where friends and enemies are unknown.
However, her luck is not too bad, she can always survive in desperation, and Lu Jing actually died. There is no evidence of death, and after a hundred deaths, she doesn't have to run away.
After Ye Mei slowly calmed down, she managed to bribe the unloved little talent. She knew that she could not clear up all her doubts no matter what, so she simply stirred the water in the pool to make it even more chaotic. She asked Ye Hongguang to testify. Ye Mei threatened Ye Hongguang. If he didn't lie, the entire Ye Mansion would be implicated. Ye Hongguang was timid, and he had grown up in Ye Mansion since he was a child.
But Ye Mei did not expect Ye Hongguang to be so useless, and Shen Miao caught the wrong place and pressed him step by step. This framed scene was almost useless in the end, and the fear displayed by the Lu family in the face of Xie Yuan also made Ye Mei finally understand how terrible it was to offend Prince Rui's mansion.
Having proposed to Ye Maocai to assassinate Shen Miao, and now instructing Ye Hongguang to slander Shen Miao, Ye Mei always felt that once Xie Yuan found out that she was involved in it, she would definitely not let her go.
And today, even though Empress Xian De and Emperor Yong Le finally let her go unexpectedly, Shen Miao did not go into it, but Ye Mei felt that something was wrong the more she thought about it, suspecting that they had a deeper conspiracy. Taking 10,000 steps back, Ye Maocai would know about this sooner or later. She accidentally killed Concubine Jing by mistake, and she was also in trouble. Ye Mei really didn't know how someone as shrewd as Ye Maocai would treat her.
Ye Mei felt anger, fear, and depression in her heart. This place in Long Ye seems to be similar to her. When she was in Qinzhou, she had to experience the wind and the rain, but in Long Ye she ran into a wall many times. It was thought that the Ye family would surely flourish in the future, but not only the Ye family themselves were in a difficult situation, but they also offended people who shouldn't have offended.
I can't stay in Long Ye anymore, I have to leave the Ye family. A thought suddenly popped into Ye Mei's heart.
She glanced at Ye Hongguang subconsciously. Ye Hongguang was holding his head down and silently grabbing the fur on the blanket on his knees, not seeing her eyes.
Ye Mei's eyes turned cold.
It is not easy for her to escape from the Ye family and Long Ye. It's easy to get on the boat, but difficult to get off the boat, and Ye Maocai's eyes are on.
But if she continued to stay here, Ye Mei had a feeling that she would not even know how she died.
It's better to discuss it with Ye Ke.
…
As the matter of Concubine Jing in the palace today delayed a lot of time, it was already late when Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing returned to Prince Rui’s residence. After bathing and eating, Shen Miao sorted out some letters on the table and said to Xie Jing Xing, "I didn't expect it to be such a thing."
The people under Xie Jing Xing came to pass the letter, probably to find out what happened in the palace today. It was probably speculated that Ye Mei killed Lu Jing with the wrong hand, Shen Miao shook her head and said, "The Lu family is only afraid that they know Ye Mei's hand, and they secretly hate it and will not show it."
Xie Jing Xing leaned on the couch, watched her clean up, and said “um”.
Shen Miao asked, "Then what will happen if the emperor finds out the truth? Will he deal with Ye Mei?"
“What if we don’t find out?” Xie Jing Xing said indifferently, “If Ye Mei murdered by mistake, the Ye family would not stay, and if Ye Mei killed by mistake, Ye family sacrificed a daughter that was taken in halfway, and Ye Maocai would not stay. It hurts.” Xie Jing Xing shrugged, “Concubine Jing and the child in her stomach, who cares?”
Shen Miao sighed, Emperor Yong Le hated the Ye family deeply and had no expectations for the child that Lu Jing had conceived by all means, so naturally he would not care, perhaps Lu Jing's death would even make Emperor Yong Le feel relieved. He didn't love Concubine Jing, but it was always his flesh and blood. How would he face his son when the Ye family died in the future? Of course, this child born is born with insufficiency, and living in this world is also a suffering.
God made the choice for him, maybe everything is clearly destined.
“Speaking of which, when entering the palace today, something happened to Lu Jing, the emperor is here but you are not here, what are you doing?” Shen Miao asked. It was natural for her to ask, Xie Jing Xing was a very frank person and he would answer almost as long as Shen Miao asked about these royal secret matters.
But today, he saw that Shen Miao did not speak.
Shen Miao was still waiting for his answer, seeing that he did not respond for a long time, the movement of her hand stopped, and she saw Xie Jing Xing smiling at her. His eyes were gentle, as if he regarded her as something he cherished.
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, Xie Jing Xing's lips curled up, "Come here."
She was stunned for a while, seeing Xie Jing Xing's insistent appearance, she stood up, walked to the side of the collapse, and asked, "What's wrong?" Xie Jing Xing grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms.
Shen Miao was caught lying in his arms, struggling to support her body, but Xie Jing Xing did not let her move, resting her chin on her head, said lightly, "I once asked you a question, do you still want to be a queen now, remember ?"
“Remember.” Shen Miao paused before answering.
"Then I'll ask you now," he said.
“I don’t want to.” Shen Miao said, “My wish is very simple, to protect the people I love and live well. It’s good to be a queen, but I don’t like it.”
"What should I do?" He said with some distress: "I don't like it either, but I have to do it now."
"The head of the Gao family said that the imperial brother will not survive for half a year. Today, the edict was written."
“I don’t believe in fate, but there is no time.” He sighed lowly and put Shen Miao’s hand in his palm.
"I know you don't like it, but can you tolerate it for me? At least I can assure you that I will never let you become a queen."
“You will become the only woman of the Great Liang Emperor, the price you have to pay is,” he pressed close to Shen Miao’s ear and said ruthlessly, “In this life, there is no way out.”
