Chapter 245
When Zhang Jili arrived at the south study room, he saw two servants standing outside the room door, who were silent like cicadas. Seeing him approaching, he shook his head embarrassingly at him.

He turned his expression slightly back, walked lightly to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who's in there?" This building has left the palace from afar, could it be that His Majesty left Feng Jixian to talk alone?

"It's the imperial concubine, and also, that delicate guest in her palace." The little servant lowered his voice, "It was His Majesty who sent someone to invite him."

Zhang Jili's expression changed, and he looked up at the closed door calmly.

In the south study room, there was a faint scent of beasts. Emperor Qianhe and Concubine Xie were sitting on a low couch by the window, separated by a kang table.

In front of the two of them, there was one person kneeling, with a slightly uncomfortable expression, and it was Ye Xinyi.

"Mr. Ye! I didn't expect that I would underestimate you. You are so brave!" Emperor Qianhe slapped the Kang table hard.

"Your Majesty's lesson!" Ye Xinyi was obviously frightened, trembling, and lowered his body even lower. "Your Majesty knows that my maidservant said something wrong yesterday in the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion, and that my wife was incapable of disciplining me. Please punish me. But my wife didn't do it on purpose, how could I know..."

Ye Xinyi spoke in a soft voice, and in a blink of an eye, there was a weeping sound in his tone. If you have to say it boldly... it's only as big as a sesame mung bean?

Emperor Qianhe frowned, and looked at Concubine Xie Guifei.

This Mrs. Ye has always been like this in front of them, could it be...they really wronged her?

What happened yesterday was just a coincidence?
Emperor Ganhe coughed twice, "I ask you, the imperial concubine invited you into the palace as a companion, did you wrong you? You are talking nonsense outside, saying that I do things cruelly, in order to push Shen Yue out to appease the King of Han Anger, so, deliberately use you as a hostage, and use it against him?"

This is not nonsense, it is clearly the truth!Ye Xinyi slandered in his heart, but his face was stupefied, "Your Majesty, my wife has never been out of the palace since she entered the palace. Apart from the maids and maids who serve her, she has only seen Princess Zhaoning twice. , Your Majesty's words, I really feel wronged, oh, my wife has never thought about it like this, even... who can I tell my wife?"

"You didn't go out, didn't your girl go out once?" Qian Hedi frowned.

"Your Majesty, my girl went to Zhen Guohou's Mansion with Princess Zhaoning. If she ever left the Princess's sight on the way, who she talked to, and what she said, you can find out just by asking."

"Hey!" Emperor Qianhe laughed lowly, "I thought you were not very courageous, but you can speak well again?"

"I don't dare, but it's about innocence, and we have to fight for it. The marriage of my wife was facilitated by His Majesty. I can't let my wife's stupidity affect my family's statement and His Majesty's reputation." Ye Xinyi He raised his head slightly, the corners of his eyes were already slightly red.

"Your Majesty! There is no need to summon Zhaoning, as what Ye said just now, the concubine can testify. It is true that Ye has not had any contact with other people these days. Yesterday, Zhaoning took her girl to Zhen Guohou's mansion. But that girl has a clumsy tongue and mouth, she just can't speak, that's why there was such a misunderstanding, and during that time, she didn't say a single word to anyone else."

Whether it was for herself or Zhaoning, Concubine Xie was in a hurry to help Ye Xinyi clarify.

"So...it's all that girl's fault?" Qian Hedi raised an eyebrow, squinting at Ye Xinyi who was on the ground.

Ye Xinyi's heart trembled, and his face paled, "Your Majesty, that's a stupid girl. She doesn't know anything. It's because of my wife's neglect of discipline that caused the disaster. If you want to blame your majesty, you can blame my wife. Please don't embarrass her." As she spoke, she knocked her head heavily on the ground.

Emperor Ganhe laughed, "You are still a responsible master." Ye Xinyi didn't dare to speculate whether these words were a compliment or a sarcasm, or whether they had any deep meaning. He was so frightened that he shrank his eyes, buried his head, and dared not lift it up again.

This kind of embarrassment made him unable to appear on the stage, if he hadn't lost his eyes, then the woman in front of him was used to acting, and she had already reached the point of proficiency.But... Her age is in the balance. A young girl with cardamom, who was born in a small family and grew up in the market, can she really have such a deep scheming?

The doubts in Emperor Ganhe's eyes slowly settled down, he sighed, and raised his hand, "Forget it, get up first!"

Ye Xinyi naturally couldn't believe it, and after a while, he said in awe, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Then, he stood up slowly.However, he only dared to stand with lowered eyebrows and bowed head, twisting his hands hanging in front of him, his nails were pinched on the back of his hands, and he didn't even dare to lift his head.This situation fell into Qian Hedi's eyes, and his heart widened by two points.

"Since you are in the palace, you must not have heard the rumors outside." Qian Hedi's tone softened by more than two points.

Ye Xinyi quietly raised his head and glanced at Qian Hedi, then lowered his head again, not daring to say anything.

"A rumor suddenly spread in the city this morning, saying that in order to force Shen Yue to deliver the letter of peace, so that the King of Han could kill him and appease the anger of the King of Han, I specially imprisoned you in the palace to threaten Shen Yue. "When Emperor Qianhe said this, he kept staring at Ye Xinyi's reaction.

Ye Xinyi was shocked. She was so surprised that she completely forgot the rules and fears. Before Ganhedi finished speaking, she couldn't help but said, "How is this possible? How can you talk such nonsense?" ?”

"Oh?" Emperor Qianhe didn't blame her, but raised an eyebrow in great interest.

Ye Xinyi suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was, and his expression became panicked for a moment.

Qian Hedi raised his hand, "Don't be afraid, tell me, do you really think this is nonsense?"

Ye Xinyi timidly raised his head, glanced at him, then at Concubine Xie, and then said in a soft voice, "My lord once told me that His Majesty is the most kind and treats him like a nephew. Although he doesn't Cai, because of his meritorious service in rescuing his majesty, he was promoted by His Majesty, which is a testament to His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness. But this time it was clearly the King of Han who was unrighteous in the first place, disregarding the name of the monarch and his ministers, and the friendship between brothers, and wantonly provoked the flames of war, bringing disaster to the people , now it is still endangering the border, shaking the foundation of the country, such a heinous crime, how can your majesty bow to him?"

"Although the minister's knowledge is shallow, she has followed her father to read and read books, and understands some truths. How can such slander be allowed for the righteousness of the nation and the affairs of the family and the world? The minister thinks, my lord can be so steadfast. , it must be because of some plans with His Majesty, and it is definitely not like those people said that the people do not know His Majesty's painstaking efforts, so they have misunderstood and believed them lightly. But the people are also the most innocent, as long as Your Majesty clarifies the misunderstanding, They will naturally understand."

Speaking of this, Ye Xinyi was afraid again, and frequently raised her head to look at Qian Hedi's face. Seeing Qian Hedi's face sinking like water, she panicked, her knees softened and she knelt down again, "Your Majesty, my wife is just a girl. , I haven’t seen anything in the world, but I just say what I think, if there is any inappropriateness, please forgive me.”
