Chapter 437: Surge of Hatred

Ye Qingwan is the legitimate daughter of the Ye family after all. Even if she is wrong, the Ye family will definitely stand on her side.

"But Concubine Ye is really going too far." Xiao Cui said unhappily. Although she immediately lowered her head, she knew she shouldn't have said that, but who could keep swallowing her anger?

Before this, when Mei Xue was serving Ye Qingwan, she was constantly targeted by her, and it was still the same now.

She is also a concubine, but she doesn't respect herself at all.

"In this palace, the strong prey on the weak, so my situation is considered good." Mei Xue spoke bitterly, and the smile on her face was particularly bitter.

She really had no choice. Now that even the prince was gone, who would always stand by her side?

"The master has been wronged." Xiao Cui's only way of standing up for the injustice was to say this. She didn't know how to help the person in front of her.

Ye Xuwan coughed twice and looked up helplessly, "These two people are really rushing to come and watch my fun."

Regarding the Eastern Palace incident, many people have been watching the excitement behind the scenes, so of course she has to keep calm.

The next day, Ye Xuwan had someone send something to Concubine Lin, and she also went to the Grand Prince's Palace under the pretext of visiting Mei Xue.

Mei Xue had just lost her child, so it was reasonable for her to go visit her, but she had something else to ask.

As soon as she entered the palace, she smelled the smell of something burning and Ye Xuwan frowned.

"Your Highness, it seems to come from over there." Hua Ying spoke immediately. The smell came from the tree in the backyard.

Ye Xuwan immediately went forward to check, and the person who was squatting there immediately panicked.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess." The person immediately used branches to disperse the fire in front of them, but Ye Xuwan and Hua Ying had already seen what she was burning.

"What are you doing?" Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. Burning paper money in the palace is a capital crime.

"Your Highness, this is it."

Hua Ying immediately went forward to check and took the half-burned thing in her hand. This thing was a taboo in the palace, and she would be beheaded for doing this.

Ye Xuwan's face darkened a little. This palace maid was the most trusted person around Mei Xue, so of course she knew her.

"I asked her to burn it."

Mei Xue's voice came from behind. They turned around and saw her standing there with a look of pain in her eyes.

Her child was gone, so it was normal to burn something for the child, but this very thing was prohibited in the palace.

"Concubine Mei, don't you know that His Majesty strictly forbids the burning of paper money in the imperial palace?" Hua Ying spoke immediately after seeing Ye Xuwan's face. The Crown Princess must have wanted to say this, but she said it first.

"Of course I know that I am only doing this for my children."

Ye Xuwan raised her hand, signaling Hua Ying to stop talking. She also wanted to pursue the matter, but she had something more important to tell her right now.

The two of them walked to the pavilion and sat down together. There was no one around them and the palace maids all stepped back several steps.

"Meixue, Xiao Cui had seen the lame eunuch before he set fire to the Eastern Palace." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. This was not something difficult to find out. She only asked a few people to find out the news.

The lame eunuch had been staying in the cold palace, and suddenly someone came to see him, so everyone paid special attention to him.

The person who came to see him was a palace maid, so it was probably a good job and no one wanted to miss this opportunity.

"What is your highness the Crown Princess trying to say? Xiao Cui is my maid, but who she meets is not my business."

As a palace maid, she also has freedom. She only needs to serve herself well, and she has no right to interfere with other things. "This is not something you should interfere in, Meixue, you'd better tell me the truth."

Ye Xuwan looked at the person in front of her seriously. She didn't want to force her in any other way.

Xiao Cui always listens to her, but if she says that this matter has nothing to do with her, she will never believe it.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess, what about this?" Mei Xue took out a token from her sleeve and placed it in front of her. The word "Eastern Palace" happened to be written on the token.

This was something from the Eastern Palace, but it appeared on the wet nurse's body. How could she not suspect the person in front of her?

She was the only one in the entire palace who gave birth to a prince, so it was reasonable for everyone to be jealous of her.

"How come this is here with you?" Ye Xuwan asked subconsciously. It seemed that this was the lost token.

"Your Highness, this was found on the wet nurse. How did the East Palace token end up on the wet nurse's body?"

The wet nurse has no power and comes from a poor family, so how could she have this token?

Mei Xue held the token tightly in her hand. It was evidence and she would not let it go easily.

"The East Palace lost a piece a few days ago." Ye Xuwan frowned. It seemed like she was being pretentious when she said this now, but it was indeed the fact.

The Eastern Palace did lose a token, but as for how the wet nurse got the token, she had no idea.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess, I have no power or influence, but I will not allow you to bully me like this." After Mei Xue said this, two tears slid down her face.

She would definitely not believe such words, and now that all the evidence points to the person in front of her, she can't swallow this anger in her heart.

"Mei Xue, we have no grudge against each other, why would I harm your child?" This was obviously a frame-up by someone else.

If I hated her, I would not have helped her and saved her life in the first place.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is always so pretentious, and this thing is the best evidence." Mei Xue put the token away. From now on, she and the person in front of her could only be enemies.

Ye Xuwan slowly stood up and said, "If you insist on doing this, I can't do anything about it."

The feeling of being hated for no reason was not very good, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

The matter clearly had nothing to do with her, but she was still involved and she felt helpless.

"Meixue, take care of yourself."

Ye Xuwan glanced at her indifferently and then left. Mei Xue looked at her back with surging hatred in her eyes. From then on, they were no longer the same kind of people.

When Mo Yunfeng came back, he saw that Ye Xuwan was in a bad mood, so he immediately went up to ask her, but she kept shaking her head.

"Who made Wan'er feel wronged? Tell me quickly, I will help Wan'er vent her anger." His Wan'er didn't look good at all when she got angry.

Ye Xuwan frowned, "Okay, I'm fine." These are all matters of the harem. He is busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty all day long. How could he have the leisure time to do this?

"Wan'er, I'll take you somewhere." Mo Yunfeng had a mysterious look on his face. After helping her change her clothes, they quietly left the palace.

The moment she left the palace, Ye Xuwan felt unprecedented relaxation. She always had to be dignified in the palace, but now that she was out, she felt that the burden on her shoulders was lightened.

Now she needs to be careful and cautious in everything she does, and be worthy of the title of Crown Princess.

"Where are you going?" She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside.
