Chapter 178
Yun Heng didn't cry, didn't make trouble, didn't beg for mercy, and was taken down very resignedly.

He found an excuse for himself to be greedy for money and want to make a fortune.

Because of her biological mother's background, and what happened to him when he was young...

In fact, this is also playing tricks on the emperor.

But he also knew—

If he explained it like this, the emperor would definitely not believe it.

Moreover, the emperor ordered the Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the three divisions to investigate the origin of his black fires, which would surely bring out the concubine Shu's family and the Chen family behind him, and drag them down.

Although the emperor didn't criticize these princes harshly, they were very clear in their hearts——

The emperor was very jealous that their concubine princes would compete with the prince.

This time, Ye Xunyi brought the opportunity to his door...

The emperor would not think about taking his life, but he would definitely push the boat along and cut off his wings.

As long as the Chen clan is abolished by smuggling the black fire, he, King Rui, will lose the biggest support behind him.

Want to say willingly?
That must be unwilling!
But things have come to this, and he can't help it.

Smart people know how to advance and retreat!

At this time, stubbornly denying, looking for death and life, will only consume the emperor's little father-son affection for him to the greatest extent.

So--

Regret?
Naturally, I also regret it!
I regret that I didn't kill Ye Xunyi, a lowly concubine, in the first place!

He once wanted to win over Ye Caizhi, so he didn't care whether Ye Xunyi was a concubine or a concubine, because Ye Caizhi cherished the daughter of the Ye family who was titled the most beautiful woman in the capital, and he also knew that this old fox looked down on his background, so he could marry Ye Xunhui. The chances are not high, so I don't care about taking the next best thing and taking a concubine back.

Besides—

Ye Xunhuimei is beautiful, but she was raised and abandoned by the flamboyant Yan family, and she is an idiot beauty.

Yun Heng is also lustful!
But he has never been able to distinguish between serious and serious!
For him, beauty can only be an embellishment in the prosperous age. During the process of his dormancy and prosperity...

Compared with the two daughters of the Ye family, he really wanted Ye Xunyi more.

At first, he thought that she was just a cautious, very dutiful concubine, even if she just got it back for display, at least she would not get into trouble and hinder her, but later found that this woman's heart was as forbearing and vicious as his, so he said He wanted her even more, so he took her to fight for the throne for him.

And now-

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice, and he was bitten by this lowly concubine. Instead of winning Ye Caizhi, he lost half of the country that he had painstakingly managed for many years.

From then on, he wanted to aspire to the throne again...

Let alone comparing with Yun Zhan, or even comparing with Yun Zheng, there is a huge difference!
If you want to give up at this point, with a person like Yun Heng, he will definitely not give up completely, but at this moment——

His truest thought was indeed that if he wanted to die, he must hold Ye Xunyi on his back.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, Ye Xunyi clearly received his warning.

Ye Caizhi also sensed the obvious crisis, and knew that if he didn't take the opportunity to take Yun Heng's life at this time, he would definitely have endless troubles...

However, they really didn't have concrete evidence that Yun Heng hid the black fire to plot against him. He was more cautious than Ye Xunyi, so naturally he didn't dare to put such a crime on a prince with a red mouth and white teeth.

Therefore, he just played the image of a courtier who is concerned about the country and the people, and said to the emperor: "His Royal Highness, King Rui, is confused. His Majesty is a loving father, so he must be sorry and heartbroken. Heavy, take care of the dragon body first."

In other words...

Our father and daughter reported on King Rui today, but for your country and society, we have made meritorious service.

The emperor had just disposed of a son, so he was naturally in a bad mood.

Although his mood didn't fluctuate much on his face, it was obvious that he was a little tired and lacked the energy of the afternoon.

He might be thinking about how to deal with the father and daughter of the Ye family...

Then, Prince Yun Zhan spoke up.

Ye Xunyi noticed that the case file he was holding before was no longer in his hands.

He chuckled and reminded the emperor: "Father, Ye Xiang's daughter is very courageous. What she did today is not afraid of power, right?"

This is--

speak for her?

While Ye Xunyi was surprised, he finally forgot his duty of being superior and humble, and suddenly raised his head to look at him.

Yun Zhan didn't even look at her.

Ye Xunyi suddenly understood——

His Royal Highness should not be speaking for her, he just saw that he had cheated Yun Heng so much, and felt that he was a useful knife.

He still wants to...

Keep it for yourself?
The emperor didn't seem to be surprised by any of his son's words, he just gave him a questioning look.

Yun Zhan said again: "However, as a girl in the boudoir, it is indeed arrogance for her to report on the current prince. It is not easy to announce this matter to the world, and to praise it with great fanfare. But it is always... Father, you have clear rewards and punishments, and you will reward more or less." What is she ordering?"

After hearing this, Ye Xunyi understood even more——

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really did not treat her differently.

He even beat and warned her that she committed the next crime, but it was actually a serious crime!

Ye Xunyi pursed her lips, and for the time being, just waited and watched what happened, and didn't dare to take it rashly.

Ye Caizhi, however, was apprehensive and frightened, and hurriedly tried to evade the excuse: "The little girl just did her duty as a subject, if your majesty doesn't blame her, I will be grateful and grateful, and I will definitely not be able to afford your majesty's reward."

What about rewards?

It's not like the emperor didn't know before that Yunheng and Yunzheng had a fierce fight in private in order to snatch the Ye family's daughter.

At first, Yun Zheng went after Ye Xunhui, but Ye Caizhi, an old fox, was up for grabs, so he didn't let go.

Later, Ye Xunhui was tricked by her concubine sister several times, her reputation was greatly damaged, and her face was even burnt.

Then, together with Yun Heng, Yun Zheng showed more and more courtesy to Ye Xunyi, using tricks.

The emperor didn't intervene because he was too lazy to care about these embarrassing trivial matters.

Anyway, in his opinion, Ye Caizhi's foundation is not enough, and his only son is abolished. After he retires, the influence of the Ye family in the court will decline rapidly.

Since this old guy is still usable now, let's use it first, and don't worry about it in the future.

Then, he discovered a very interesting phenomenon——

The concubine of the Ye family actually didn't like the two princes at all, and used her tricks to plot and play with them!
A small concubine in the prime minister's mansion?
If it wasn't because he knew too well that Ye Caizhi didn't have the ambition and courage to win the world, he would almost suspect that Ye Caizhi would soon be the emperor.

otherwise--

Why is it that a concubine in his family is so arrogant?
Of course, he still didn't think about moving Ye Xunyi.

A little girl is not worthy of him, an emperor, who goes into the sea to compete with her.

But that didn't mean he would like the girl and agree with her.

Yes, his two sons are indeed impure and needy, but they are not so worthless that a little concubine from an official's family can use them as puppets and repeatedly play and abuse them!

Now that Yun Zhan mentioned it, the emperor groaned, as if he was still thinking about it.

At this time, Ye Xunyi glanced at the second prince Yun Zheng who was standing beside him with a half-smile expression.

Suddenly she realized—

I have entered a dead end.

This time, Yun Heng was not completely eradicated. Even if Yun Heng only had [-]% of his power left, he would go all out to take revenge on his father and daughter after he regained his freedom later.

And her father is unreliable——

Looking at the entire court, he also realized that Ye Caizhi would most likely have to rely on Yun Zheng to protect himself.

Ye Xunhui has already been crippled, and now that Yun Zheng has a choice, he won't be wronged to marry a disfigured woman as a princess, then...

She is the most likely to be the link that Ye Caizhi launches into marriage!

Do not!Absolutely not!

In her previous life, she had foolishly been someone else's pawn for decades, and she will never repeat the same mistakes in this life.

"Your Majesty!" Therefore, Ye Caizhi refused, but Ye Xunyi immediately said hastily: "I want to ask Your Majesty for a reward."

Please take the initiative to ask for rewards. Usually, those who have just made great contributions and really have urgent requests will occasionally go all out to mention them.

Ye Caizhi's daughter, do you really think she has made outstanding achievements?
The emperor's expression became interesting: "You say."

Even the anger for Yun Heng just before disappeared temporarily.

At this moment, his mood is extremely complicated!
Judging from this behavior, Ye Caizhi's daughter is not smart, but if you say she is stupid...

His two sons have been played in the hands of a fool for so long?
Doesn't he have to admit that he gave birth to two complete fools?
His Majesty the Emperor was very troubled for a moment, and even showed a painful expression like a toothache.

On Ye Xunyi's side, before Ye Caizhi could stop her, he looked at her and slammed his head solemnly on the ground: "My daughter would like to ask His Majesty's will, and she is allowed to make her own decisions about her marriage."

emperor:……

Yun Zheng: ...

Ye Caizhi: ...

The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a moment, and the expressions of these three people were wonderful, each with their own tricks.

On the contrary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always had an optimist, sunny smiling face that was not disturbed by foreign objects.

Then, it was Ye Caizhi who came back to his senses first.

He also knelt down: "Your Majesty, the little girl is not sensible..."

Ye Xunyi is not willing to let him control her, and once again robs her: "As a woman, the most important thing in my life is to marry someone. If I want to marry someone I really admire in the future, I hope Your Majesty will help me."

Yun Zheng's complexion has become very ugly now.

He naturally understands who Ye Xun intends to ask to guard against!
This was tantamount to another slap in the face by this woman in public.

He clenched his fingers under the sleeves tightly, and his eyes couldn't help showing a clear chill.

The emperor was speechless for another moment.

Then, his expression became serious, and his tone was still calm.

He said, "Your request, I cannot grant you."

From Ye Xunyi's point of view, this kind of thing is a trivial matter for the emperor, and he shouldn't refuse if he invites him in person.

She no longer cared about etiquette, and suddenly raised her head to look over, and tried to be emotional: "Your Majesty, I have been deeply moved since I was a child, and I don't want to influence my marriage and life for others. Your Majesty is a wise king, and you are too." For those who have daughters, please be sympathetic to me."

The emperor's daughter is his treasure, not to mention he doesn't like Ye Xunyi——

Even if it is the best girl in the world, he will never allow anyone to argue with his princess.

This daughter of the Ye family...

It is extremely presumptuous!

This time, even his voice became cold.

Originally, I still looked at Ye Caizhi's face, but this time I didn't even care about Ye Caizhi's face, and asked: "You are referring to others, but you are referring to your father?"

Ye Xunyi naturally refers to her father who is dressed like a beast.

In this world, someone who can use his identity to kidnap her and persecute her with legitimate reasons——

Only her incompetent father.

Ye Caizhi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Extremely ashamed, he shut his mouth and did not speak.

Ye Xunyi couldn't answer this clearly.

Everyone in the world values ​​filial piety, even though these two words are like a joke in her heart...

She didn't dare to yell in front of the emperor, saying that she never regarded Ye Caizhi as her father in her heart.

She pursed her lips vigorously, but showed the greatest courage to try to look directly at the emperor to show her firm position.

"Marriage is subject to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. A woman obeys her father at home. This is the most basic form of filial piety." The emperor looked at her, and said after a while, "You little girl, since you respect As soon as I declared myself a king, how could I disregard the ancestral etiquette and allow you to ask for rewards? Not to mention you, even the younger generation of my royal family would not dare to disobey the rules of the ancestors. You have to violate the ancestral etiquette Do you want to use my golden eloquence as a shield? Daughter's family does not distinguish between serious and serious, and it is not such a disobedient method. If I allow you today, until tomorrow, all women in the world will have to make their own decisions and violate their ancestors and parents. Wouldn't it be a mess?"

The emperor really brought out the principle of filial piety to suppress her!

In fact, according to Ye Xunyi, she still has some arguments to argue, for example, a person whose father is not kind is not worthy of respect...

But still that sentence——

At this time, she was just a concubine in the prime minister's mansion, not the queen of Yun Heng who could be the master of half the world.

If this is the case, it would be treasonous to speak out!
She dare not!
But she still didn't give up, she still bit her lip, stubbornly refusing to let go.

Seeing that the emperor with such a good temper rarely got angry, Ye Caizhi could no longer just sit idly by, and hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, there is no way for a minister to teach a daughter!"

The emperor said coldly: "I can understand my little daughter's arrogance. After all, I am also a person with a princess. In private, everyone has a loving father's heart. There is nothing wrong with pampering and protecting one or two things. Serious or serious occasions, openly bring it to the people of the world to say."

From what he said earlier, he couldn't tell whether he was training Ye Caizhi or Ye Xunyi.

But then, he still said to Ye Xunyi: "You can change your request."

Apart from controlling your own destiny...

Otherwise, she doesn't need anything!
Ye Xunyi still bit her lip tightly.

Yun Zhan stared at her for a long time, and then felt that this girl might not be out of her mind...

She just offended Yunheng, and now Yunheng is afraid that she is thinking about punishing her to death. Looking at the court, she may only rely on Yunzheng to want her, so she quickly finds a way to enter Yunzheng's mansion. In order to get a safe place to settle down.

What is this doing now?
I just pissed Yun Heng off, and I still think I'm a hot commodity. Are you afraid that Yun Zheng will take advantage of the fire and ask her to go?
If she doesn't go to Yunzheng's mansion, can she point at Ye Caizhi to protect her?
In the past, Yun Heng was so attached to her, he wanted her more than destroying her, so he was restrained by her...

This fool wouldn't really think that his fourth brother is a love saint who loves her badly, and would rather be killed by her than fight back?
Ye Xunyi stubbornly refused to let go.

His Majesty's patience with her has run out: "You are arrogant and indulgent in front of your father, and I will not interfere in the housework of the prime minister's mansion, but here, I will never grant you this request of yours. But... When you get married, I will promise you a generous dowry to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Ye Xunyi was already soberly aware of her current situation at this time, knowing that the emperor had made up her mind, and any more words from her would only annoy him even more, and even blame him.

but--

She was living a new life, and she should have won the game.

This matter, when she went to Rui Wang's mansion for a banquet early this morning, she was still very sure and believed it with full confidence.

It was only a few hours before and after, how could she completely lose all situation within this day, and was directly forced into a dead end?
She obviously went to plot against Yun Heng today.

But now-

She lost far more than Yun Heng!

even--

It is foreseeable that in a short time after today, life will be worse and more difficult than Yunheng's!
Ye Caizhi didn't have such a persevering spirit like her, and he knew best when enough was enough.

The emperor was already furious with his "rebellious" daughter, he didn't dare to tell Ye Xunyi to continue making trouble, so he kowtowed his head in gratitude: "I thank your Majesty for your appreciation and generosity to my daughter, and I will leave."

"Go." The emperor had completely turned cold.

Ye Caizhi hurriedly pulled Ye Xunyi up forcibly and quit.

Yun Zhan stood still.

Yun Zheng glanced at him, understood, and bowed to the emperor: "Father, take care of your health, don't worry too much about the fourth brother's affairs, my son will also leave first."

The emperor nodded, and he followed suit.

Only Yun Zhan didn't know any worries, still smiling, looking at Ye Xunyi's back outside the hall as if he was leaving in a daze.

When he approached the emperor's case, he didn't care about the crown prince's demeanor at all. He lay down half of his body on the emperor's table and said with a smile, "Father, you gave me this reward... Is it flattery? Or are you softening your heart?" , really want to leave her a way out?"

The emperor seemed to be accustomed to him like this.

But Eunuch Li quickly walked over and closed the palace door.

Yun Zhan suddenly remembered something, so he gave the emperor the case file he brought back from Dali Temple from his sleeve, and sighed with emotion: "This daughter of Ye Xiang is really amazing, thanks to my son Yan Yan. Yu Liji, I never bowed down to her pomegranate skirt, otherwise... Royal Father, you may be so angry today."

The emperor didn't answer his question for the time being, and scanned the dossier at a glance.

Everything has been verified. Indeed, an experienced master dyer found some royal blue dye mixed with a special medicine from the residual color of Li Yanhua's quilt that was not washed clean, and Qin Song and Qin Ying's brothers and sisters testified The difference between Ye Xunyi's and Li Yanhua's clothes before and after the incident, as well as the stitches on Ye Xunyi's own quilt are all evidence...

If we continue to investigate and find out who made Li Wanhua's beanie, and where the scarce dyes and potions used by Ye Xunyi come from, they will also seize the stolen goods and press her to death.

But Yun Zhan didn't say anything, the emperor also knew——

Under such a good opportunity just now, he didn't show this file, but instead asked for a reward for Ye Xunyi. His prince just didn't want him to dig deeper into this matter, and then directly beat Ye Xunyi to death!
So, he threw the dossier back in Yun Zhan's face, and then answered his previous question angrily, saying: "It can be said to be flattering, or it can be said to be giving her a chance to compete with a little girl like her." , I can't do it."

If Ye Xunyi stops here, find someone who matches her identity, get married and have children honestly, and live a peaceful life...

The makeup he promised would be given to her.

And as long as she is in the capital, it is no problem to keep her life safe.

after all--

The emperor also admitted that it was indeed wrong for his two sons to pursue and forcefully marry someone.

Of course, he didn't have any good intentions for Ye Xunyi, he just gave her a last chance to rein in the precipice.

But if Ye Xunyi insisted on going down the same path and going to the dark side, if she had to go out of her way to meddle in things that didn't suit her status, and even take the so-called reward he gave today as a special honor, she would continue to torment...

Then his lenient behavior and the so-called reward today can be regarded as flattering her!
Whose path is not chosen by oneself?

Who has blisters on their feet that they didn't grind out by themselves?

Yun Zhan knew that his father was in a bad mood at the moment, so he didn't leave right away, and had another dinner cheekily, and then Qi Wenyan was mentioned at the dinner table, and Eunuch Li started talking again...

And then--

Between master and servant, father and son, they got together to communicate in the middle of the night, integrated the news from the three parties and analyzed the possibility of a pair between Princess Zhaoyang and Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Combining the personalities of the two, their attitudes towards each other so far, and their various actions...

Princess Zhaoyang is young and has such a personality, she must not be enlightened now, so the focus of the research is mainly on Master Qi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

His Highness the Crown Prince's opinion is: "He is a man who acts with reason and evidence, is very organized, thoughtful and meticulous, and obviously has enough brains, but he is too serious and regular... I don't know if he can be enlightened in that aspect?"

Eunuch Li also expressed his deep concern: "He's still very superstitious, and just to get some face, he almost pissed off our little ancestor, so let's let the girl go..."

So His Royal Highness said again: "Is he...is he a bit older than Yun Cheng?"

His Majesty the Emperor resolutely opposed them judging people by age, and swore to the death to defend his picky eyes on his son-in-law: "What do you know? A man should be a few years older to be more reliable."

I almost proudly wrote on my face——

I and my queen are old couples and young wives, you two don't have a wife, you know how to play!

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chief Executive Li are the people with sharp eyes and ears, and they understand it, so they no longer hold on to the issue of age.

In the Dali Temple that night, Mr. Qi was lying on the bed, sneezing until the middle of the night.

Then he thought—

When I sent Qi Huan to the carriage in the morning, I got a little water on my body, so it wouldn't be like catching a cold, right?
Of course, Mrs. Qi did not catch the cold, it was Miss Qi who really caught the cold.

In the afternoon, Jiang Xuan brought Dr. Hu to the Marquis of Changning for a pulse check. By the way, he checked his condition and confirmed that Qi Huan's body was indeed relatively weak, and he really caught a cold.

The little girl's body is relatively precious, so she was sure that her illness was not serious, so she gave her a milder and more conservative prescription. First, she took the medicine and let her sleep and sweat.

Then when Qi Huan woke up, he checked his pulse again, and by the way, adjusted a medicinal bath for the scene.

Although Mrs. Yang never took the initiative to issue an order to evict Gu Zhan, but seeing that it was getting late and Qi Huan still had to take a bath in Qi Huan's room, he could not continue to rely on it. Fortunately, after listening to Dr. Hu's explanation of his illness, he felt more at ease. Only then did he take the initiative to say goodbye.

It was already late at that time, and he happened to meet Qin Song who rushed over in front of the Qi family gate.

Qin Ying was injured, and the doctor diagnosed that she had a crack in one of her ribs. Although the condition was not serious, and she was still young, her bones could heal quickly, but such an injury would not be suitable for a precious person. For the concubine of the Hou Mansion, it was already very serious.

Because of her injury, Mrs. Qin was a little flustered, and Qin Song couldn't get away.

Later, Jian Xinghai went back to report the results of Dali Temple's investigation into Prince Rui's Mansion, which wasted his time again.

So, when he made time to come over, it was already this hour.

At this time, he and Gu Zhan met in this place——

It is also a narrow road to Yuanjia.

Although neither of them spoke, the boy who sent Gu Zhan out of Qi's house felt that the air around him was a bit cold.

Since he is the enemy, Gu Zhan also understands Qin Song's temperament. If it was just Xie Qihuan's helping hand to his sister today, Qin Song would not have come here at this time in such a hurry today.

Therefore, he was the first to speak: "Marquis Wu Cheng, let me chat in another place."

 Finally, the liver has finished adding updates for the past few days, and tomorrow we will return to the rhythm of two updates a day in the afternoon and evening.Xiaoxiang has double points for the monthly pass recently. For those who have left the monthly pass for me, please take this opportunity to throw it away. I love you!
