Chapter 579 Three-day deadline (2)
Xia Qingge just accepted everyone's accusations indifferently, neither opened his mouth nor wanted to say anything more.

"She's a mad dog biting people. Do I have to be like her?" Xia Qingge curled up his lips into a small smile, seemingly unaffected at all.

"Hehe, some people are really snake-hearted. Seeing the mother and daughter die tragically and the other in desperation, some people can still laugh and whisper with the maids in public. I don't know if the atmosphere in the capital has changed recently, or the Duke's Mansion lacks some Tutor." A cold taunt came slowly along the passage made by the people outside the door, and everyone shifted their eyes to the door, only to see a woman in a golden palace gown walked in surrounded by everyone mourning hall.

"See Rufei empress, empress is a thousand years old."

Ye Yuqing looked at Xia Qingge first, and then said with a sneer, "Get up, it's just a private matter for me to come here today, you don't need to be polite."

Ye Yuqing swept through the crowd one by one. Today she was dressed formally, all the outfits that a concubine of the first grade could wear were added today, and the exquisite makeup enhanced the whole aura a lot. Standing in the mourning hall, the aura displayed was very strong.

No one seemed to have expected that the pampered concubine Rufei would suddenly appear in the palace.

"Today's funeral at home has never been far away, and I hope that my mother will make amends." Xia Ziqing was the first to break the silence and walked forward to salute.

Ye Yuqing raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Xia Ziqing, and then shifted her eyes to Xia Yuhan.

"Today, I was ordered by the emperor to go back to the mansion to visit relatives. I passed by the Xia mansion and wanted to meet my old friend, but I didn't want to come at the wrong time."

"My lady's delicate body is really not suitable for such an occasion. If my lady doesn't dislike it, how about ordering someone to take my lady to the hall to rest immediately?"

"Don't bother Mr. Xia. The Xiuguo Palace is not far from the Dongping Palace. I came here to visit an old friend. Now it seems that something happened here."

Seeing that Ye Yuqing made it clear that he planned not to leave, Xia Ziqing frowned slightly, and was about to speak but was interrupted by Xia Yuhan's cry.

"My concubine, you came at the right time. I beg you, I beg you to be the master of my concubine." Xia Yuhan took advantage of Xia Ziqing's time before she could speak, and immediately ran to Ye Yuqing's room at a brisk pace. Kneel by your side.

"Bold, how dare you get close to your mother without her permission." A burly servant girl next to Ye Yuqing was about to draw her sword. Judging from her movements, she should be a master of skill.

"Jingfeng stop." Ye Yuqing stopped Xia Yuhan when the maidservant beside her made her move.

"Yes!" The maid named Jingfeng immediately retreated behind Ye Yuqing.

"What do you want to complain about?"

Xia Yuhan glanced at Jingfeng timidly, and then said timidly: "My aunt died suddenly on the night of my wedding yesterday. I suspect that there is something hidden behind my aunt's death, but I am single and weak. , I can’t resist some people, but I still hope that Empress Rufei will redress my concubine’s grievances.”

"Mistress, this is Weichen's family affairs. I'm afraid you won't intervene in it. If you are here to visit an old friend, may I ask which old friend in Weichen's house you are visiting? Please forgive me for being reckless and offensive. Mother Zhao, immediately take Second Miss down to rest."

Xia Ziqing's face was cold for a while, he was dissatisfied with Ye Yuqing's wanting to intervene in this matter, and he was completely chilled by Xia Yuhan's nonsense.

"Lord Xia, don't worry. Since this palace is the emperor's concubine, it is natural to share his worries and work for the emperor. Civil and military officials are the cornerstone of my century-old foundation in the Qin and Wu dynasties. If something happens in your house, it will definitely affect your daily life, my lord. If you are in a bad mood, won’t it affect your official duties? Hehe, I feel that family affairs and state affairs are family affairs, and they are all for the emperor, for the sake of the country, how can I just sit idly by and ignore them?" Ye Yuqing smiled Facing Xia Ziqing who prevented Xia Yuhan from being taken away, her words were kind and caring, and her words were irrational, but she even brought up the emperor to speak out, how could he, as a courtier, talk back?

Seeing Xia Ziqing's silence, Ye Yuqing lowered her head with a chuckle and continued to ask Xia Yuhan, "Tell me, what is wrong with you?"

Seeing Ye Yuqing questioning herself, Xia Yuhan hurriedly repeated what she said to everyone just now, and deliberately told Ye Yuqing about the ambiguity between Xia Qingge and Murong Yu. She knew that even if Ye Yuqing entered the palace and became a The emperor's concubine, but she still likes Murong Yu in her heart, so stimulating Ye Yuqing, wouldn't it make her more dissatisfied with Xia Qingge?
After listening to Xia Yuhan's words, Ye Yuqing's complexion changed a bit, "You said your aunt left you a blood letter before she died? Where is that letter? Are you sure it was left by her before she died?"

Xia Yuhan immediately nodded and said: "Everything I said is true, and my aunt's handwriting is also very clear. The letter was indeed written by my aunt. The letter is here. Please read it."

As she said that, she took out the letter left by Aunt Liang from her sleeve and handed it to Ye Yuqing, but Ye Yuqing didn't reach out to take it, but Jingfeng beside her immediately reached out to take it, and then turned around and handed it to Ye Yuqing respectfully. hands.

The latter stretched out his hand to unfold the letter paper and read the contents carefully, with a sneer curled up on the corner of his mouth, "If this letter was really left by Aunt Liang, it would be unreasonable for Mr. Xia to want to protect Miss Xia. After all, it is about human life. The common people are guilty of the same crime, if the evidence of this matter is convincing, the eldest lady should be handed over to the clan government for a thorough investigation, Master Xia who is in charge of the judiciary must be very clear about what I said."

"Your Majesty is right, but it is far-fetched to convict with just one letter. Moreover, there are many loopholes that are worth scrutinizing. It will not be too late for the officials to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Seeing that Xia Ziqing was still not letting go, Ye Yuqing's voice turned cold, "Your Excellency didn't say that to protect your daughter, did you? I can understand it. After all, you are Miss Xia's biological father, so naturally you don't want to find out the truth." , but since I have encountered this matter, I can't just sit idly by, is Lord Meng from the Clan Mansion here?"

When Meng He, who was gathered in the crowd, heard his name, his pupils suddenly dilated. Seeing Ye Yuqing looking towards him, he hurried forward to meet him, "Your Majesty, what orders do you have, Your Majesty?"

"Hehe, it's easy to talk about Mr. Meng, so you can tell me how to deal with the suspect in a case like today's?"

"This?" Meng He secretly groaned in his heart, what kind of bad luck has he had recently?A while ago, the case of the Jingtianhou's Mansion made him very anxious. Finally, he had no choice but to seek refuge with His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness before he understood the matter. Now that the concubine is following him again, isn't it clear that he offended the Duke of Xiuguo? Offend Xia Ziqing?
