Emperor Sheng Yuan's words made Ye Zhen fall into the abyss, and her answer determines whether she can land safely, or be crushed to pieces. Of course, what is the difference between choosing a father and choosing yourself? In the end, it was still the word "death".
No, no, how can you die? If he chooses to protect himself, then he will still be Ye Jieyu, who is aloof and sole power in the palace. He can also protect the remaining members of the Ye family, and he will be able to regain the favor of the emperor at the right time. But if he chooses his father, he will have nothing, and the death penalty can be avoided. The Ye family's family business will not be able to be preserved, and he has no rights and status. Don't fall into the trap and attack it
It's worse than death! Keeping the green hills so as not to be afraid of running out of firewood, Ye Zhen, only choose herself to take care of the overall situation, to lead the clan to escape from the predicament, and to bring the Ye family back to glory one day in the future! Your choice is right, your choice is right... After repeating this sentence in my heart, Ye Zhen's face has a faint madness.
Her mind was in a turmoil, and countless thoughts were spinning in the gust of wind, as if they were about to explode. However, in the midst of so many distracting thoughts, she didn't dare to think about what would happen if she lost everything she had, and what would happen if she lost the favor of the emperor. She didn't even realize that this problem was probably just a trap or a temptation. .
The toxins in the body are haunting, and the pain is like a knife from time to time, and there are successive blows, destroying her spirit and will. But in just a few days, Ye Zhen's whole body was almost overwhelmed.
Emperor Shengyuan didn't rush, he tapped the table with his fingers, and quietly observed the other party's expression changes. After carefully scouring his mind, he realized that he seemed to have only seen her sadness, sadness, smile, tenderness, and other gestures that could arouse a man's desire to protect her. Other than that, it was completely blank.
On the other hand, Mrs., even though she only met a few times, her smiling face, hearty laugh, just like a smile... All kinds of smiles are bright and warm; Vertical and horizontal, heroic; when facing the shredded paper, it was clearly so heartbroken and uncontrollable, but there was only a layer of water mist in his eyes, and there was no teardrop, but he was iron-clad and proud.
Putting the two together, although they are equally splendid and beautiful, and the city is peerless, one seems to exist in the darkness full of gloomy moisture, and it is dark to people; the other blooms under the clear sky, bathed in bright light In the bright sun, people can only feel the spring and surging vitality.
The more he recalled the man's frown and smile, the more painful and sharp his heart became. Emperor Shengyuan finally didn't dare to think about it any more. He lifted his eyelids slightly to look at Ye Zhen who was going crazy.
"The concubine is convicted and asks the emperor to spare the concubine this time." Ye Zhen directly said to save herself without a face, and she only wept bitterly.
Yong He, who was standing beside him, was already sweating profusely. As a bystander, she knows what the empress is like in front of the emperor these years. She is pure kind, gentle, infatuated, and nostalgic, but she has a case of peeping at the emperor's trail, coupled with the absurd choice of her talent, she has worked hard to create a beautiful image. has completely collapsed. Even if the emperor spared her this time, after seeing her ruthless true face, how could he give her a chance to regain his favor? On the other hand, if she chooses to protect her father and clan, there is a chance that the emperor will be able to show her kindness for her filial piety.
Madam can't!
It's a pity that Ye Zhen couldn't hear Yong He's cry, she was devastated physically and mentally, and her mind was plunged into chaos, she acted only by instinct.
What an instinct to act! Emperor Shengyuan stopped tapping on the table and pondered, "You will still be Ye Jieyu in the future, and Ye Quanyong will order the Tingwei Mansion to act in accordance with the law, and there will be no pardon for the crime of death."
Ye Zhen froze in an instant, her chest heaving violently, as if she couldn't bear more bad news. Emperor Sheng Yuan didn't even look at her, he turned around and wanted to leave, but she heard her calling out, "Your Majesty, wait, my concubine still has something I want to give you. Yong He, hurry up and get it."
With tears in her eyes, Yong He took down the brocade box placed on the Bogu shelf, opened it and saw that it was a small table screen half a foot square, fixed on the shelf with a bearing in the middle, which could be rotated back and forth, simple black on a white background. The pattern is a piece of silk cloth, but it has been embroidered on both sides in fine detail, and no matter how you look at it, you can't find any flaws. There are two other well-framed paintings, one of Rakshasa and the other of Buddha.
"Your Majesty, this is the table screen that you entrusted to embroidered by your concubine. She did not dare to delay, and even when she was sick, she twisted the needle and thread, and stayed up all night, almost burning her eyes. This is a new embroidery that embroidered by the concubine herself. The method is called double-sided embroidery, and it is said to be passed on to the embroidery maid of the weaving department to earn more benefits for you. Your Majesty, the maiden is so infatuated with you, you should have pity on her!" say something.
Ye Zhen opened her lips and smiled bitterly, a line of blood slowly dripping from the corners of her mouth, against the pale complexion and sad eyes, she looked both pitiful and pathetic.
The two masters and servants sang and sang excellent performances, making Bai Fu, an old man with a long history, almost cry, not to mention the others in the hall. It didn't take long for a burst of sobbing to come from the surrounding corners, which literally rendered the splendid Ganquan Palace into a barren alley, which was extremely miserable.
Emperor Shengyuan picked up the desk screen with no expression on his face, and felt remorse in his heart. If he had known that these two paintings would be regarded as tools to gain pity and show affection, he would not have sent them to Ganquan Palace. It is really heartbreaking that the noble is tarnished by the despicable.
He carefully put away the painting, threw the table screen to the servant, and ordered, "Send it to the weaving department, and let the embroiderers there think about it. If the craftsmanship is not complicated, it can be promoted to benefit the common people. If it is too complicated, cultivate some People specialize in this project and open source for the national treasury.”
The waiter agreed and went holding the table screen. Then he stared at Ye Zhen and said bluntly, "A few days ago, you were seriously ill for Zhao Luli's continuation, and you can't forget your old love; today you are talking about infatuation with me. Ye Zhen, how many hearts do you have? "
Ye Zhen and Yong He froze together, speechless for a while.
Emperor Shengyuan didn't need the other party to answer, and continued, "I see that you have no heart at all. You can even abandon your own father's life, how could you be willing to give up your life to save me in the first place? No one has the ability to risk the martyrdom of the whole family for a stranger. You really didn't know my true identity back then? Did you really just show kindness to those who were injured on the road? Now, it doesn't seem like your behavior. ."
It's over, it's all broken! Yong He's soul flew out of the sky, almost fainting. Ye Zhen still held on, Chaos's mind was instantly clear, and then he tried his best to reflect - those clues were all erased back then, the emperor would not find anything, even if he interrogated his father, he should also know the importance. Even if he admits his own death, even if he does not admit it is also death, he does not need to add another crime of murdering the monarch and deceiving the monarch, and he can also save the nine clans, so he must not admit it.
As the emperor said, the Ye family's ability to avoid harm and benefit is unparalleled, and the father will definitely know how to choose. Thinking like this, Ye Zhen planned to defend herself a few words, but she heard the emperor solemnly say, "What is the truth, I will send someone to investigate. Ye Zhen, you just hope that the hands and feet of the Ye family are clean enough." identified her as a suspect.
Ye Zhen could no longer bear these heavy pressures, and with a "pu" sound, the old blood in her heart spurted out.
Bai Fu hurriedly beckoned the imperial doctor to treat him, then turned to chase after the emperor who had walked all the way. Unexpectedly, Ye Jieyu, who looks gentle and submissive, has such a powerful means, and even that life-saving grace was created. Ye family also pushed hard
Hiss, that's slaying the king! Thinking of this, Bai Fu was flustered for Ye Jieyu, and felt the chill at the base of his neck.
----
Zhao Luli annoyed the new lady yesterday, and almost ended his righteousness, but today he didn't want to appease and plead guilty. Instead, he ran to Ye's house early in the morning to clean up the mess for Master Ye and Liu's. Ye Jiajian not only detained many dignitaries on the day of the treasure banquet, but also caused the commanders to lose their official caps and suffer the cane for dispatching the Guards without authorization. Supporting the facade, I am afraid that I will be thrown into the hole and the wall will be pushed upside down.
Although he has no real power as the Marquis of Zhenbei, he has some old feelings in the army, and he can talk to some extent, and because Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Chunxi have no real mother to discipline them, they also bring them together, which can also comfort and comfort the second old man.
Master Ye did not neglect the ex-son-in-law like he used to, but welcomed him in the door with great enthusiasm, and asked him to speak in the main hall. The two little ones followed their cousins and cousins to visit their grandmother in the backyard. Although she was slapped in the face by the emperor just now, Ye Jieyu is still there, and Ye Ye's official position is still there. When the emperor's anger subsides, Jieyu regains the holy favor, and she will be able to turn over in the future, maybe even brighter than now.
Therefore, Ye Mansion is only slightly depressed, and there is no sign of failure. However, just after Chen Shi, seeing that the palace was about to disperse, there were several lines of guards holding swords and halberds to surround the Ye Mansion. Lord Tingwei personally led the team to break into the gate, without saying a word, give all the sinners on the list first. He was tied up and pulled outside the hospital, reciting the order word by word.
Zhao Luli knelt down behind the Ye family to protect the two children. He was shocked when he heard it carefully, and finally understood what Guan Suyi said yesterday, "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years". Not only did Mr. Guan not plead for the Ye family, but he sued his father-in-law on 32 counts, all of which were capital offenses, all of which could annihilate the nine clans.
Now that even the emperor has confessed his guilt in the letter, how could he forgive Ye Fu lightly and forgive Ye Zhen? The last way of life for the Ye family was cut off by the second impeachment of the old man Guan. What a poisonous means of revenge! Zhao Lu's heart was twisted like a knife, and he couldn't regret it. On the other hand, the two children were already scared stupidly.
The Ye family had not finished reciting the letter, and the Ye family had already shouted their injustice, but they couldn't impress the officials. The boxes were carried away one by one, and then they slammed down the gold plaque of Ye Mansion and smashed them to pieces.
