Chapter 26: The Ultimate Goal
The second prince was really angry this time, and he was very angry.
It's just that the main reason why he was angry was that the Yuan family was so messy and was exposed in public, which not only smeared the prince's mansion, but also likely to implicate him, so that he became a handle for opponents to attack him.
Therefore, he took the lead in speaking out, questioned in public, expressed his attitude and position, and very decisively cleared up his relationship with this matter.
"The concubine body is willing to say, the concubine body will say everything, and ask the second prince for forgiveness!" Yuan Shi was already in tears at this time, but he was extremely cooperative, and he didn't dare to hesitate at all.
She is not too stupid in the end, and now that the matter has been revealed, the only person she can count on is the second prince.
Gritting her teeth, she stopped crying, sobbed and said: "The concubine heard that the second prince met the eldest lady of the Ye family at the entrance of the garden, and she praised her and had a good impression of it. The concubine doesn't dare anymore, she doesn't dare anymore......"
Hearing this reason, everyone was speechless, but it did make sense and was not outrageous.
Women are jealous, and it is not unusual to do this kind of thing in order to compete for favor, but the Yuan family just relied on hearsay, and because of a few words of gossip, he immediately moved his mind to design and harm people, which is really too insidious and vicious.
The dramatic change made many people stunned, no wonder Ye Nianchen was uncharacteristically indisputable, daring to see that something was wrong early in the morning, and just waiting for the most suitable opportunity to effectively counterattack?
"Shut up!" The second prince's face was full of disgust, and he ruthlessly interrupted Yuan's words: "I didn't expect you to be so jealous and vicious, and you would design to harm people because of a few unwarranted nonsense that you heard!" With such a heart, how dare the Second Prince's Mansion keep someone like you again! ”
"Father, the son has no way to discipline him, and there are such evil people in the house who don't know it, I implore my father to punish him severely, and the son is grateful!" The second prince did not give anyone who might use the Yuan family to dig a hole for him, so he solemnly and sincerely asked the emperor for his life.
Seeing this situation, Ye Nianchen was a little bored, it seemed that she was the victim of the Yuan family's framing incident, why did she now make it seem as if she had become an outsider, and the second prince was the real bitter master?
However, she naturally could see Li Yu's thoughts, anyway, she didn't expect the Yuan family to have the courage to confess Princess Zhaohua, or to take 10,000 steps back, Yuan suddenly became so stupid that he identified Princess Zhaohua in public, and the result was only to let Yuan have one more name of framing, and it was impossible to affect Princess Zhaohua at all.
Because of this, Princess Zhaohua dared to dig a pit for her again and again in this royal garden so unscrupulously, right?
Ye Nianchen was not so disappointed, he had to eat a mouthful, Ruth had to walk step by step, and Princess Zhaohua let them dig a pit if they liked to dig it, anyway, they were not idle, they relied on their abilities.
"Prince, what do you think should be done with this matter?" The emperor was well-informed, and he was not too surprised by the reversal of Yuan's affairs, and he turned his head and actually asked the prince's opinion.
"Father, according to what the sons and daughters have seen, it is more appropriate for the second emperor's brother to solve this matter by himself." The prince is very thoughtful, and he has not been involved in it from the beginning, and naturally he will not be able to do so at this time.
"Well, since the truth has been revealed, and it is the second child's house who committed the crime, then the matter will be handled by the second child." The emperor adopted the prince's suggestion and directly kicked the ball back to the second prince, Li Yu.
Seeing this, the second prince was also resolute and no longer avoided any suspicion.
The first unlucky one was naturally the maid of the Yuan family, and the second prince didn't even waste any more interrogations, and directly ordered someone to drag him down and beat him to death with a stick to set an example.
As a minion, such an end is normal, and almost no one feels that there is anything wrong with such a disposition.
And the two noble girls who had helped the Yuan family to testify against Ye Nianchen before, after seeing the fate of the maid, even if they were so frightened that they knelt down to ask for guilt, they only said that they had told a lie before, and they had never seen Ye Nianchen smash Yuan's bracelet with their own eyes, but because they had a good relationship with Yuan, they believed it to be true after hearing what Yuan said, so they made false testimony for Yuan's in a daze.
These two noble girls are quite smart, not only took the initiative to admit their mistakes, but also took the initiative to apologize to Ye Nianchen in public, and admitted that they were prejudiced against Ye Nianchen before, so they misheard and misbelieved, and accidentally almost became accomplices.
They are not the same as the Yuan family's master and servant in terms of identity and situation, and the second prince just punished the two of them to go home immediately and think about it for a month, which can be regarded as a punishment.
In less than a moment, there was only one Yuan family left, and the second prince really did not delay, and announced in a cold voice: "Yuan, immediately abolish your status as a side concubine, and send Lin Tai'an to accompany the green lantern to repent!" ”
"No, don't do this, second prince, you can't do this to me!" Yuan pushed away the guards who took her down, and couldn't believe that he would be punished so severely: "The concubine is at fault, but it's nothing more than wronging someone, and the crime is not like this!" ”
For the Yuan family, such a punishment was really more difficult for her to accept than death, but at this moment, all the hatred and resentment were counted on Ye Nianchen's body.
She seemed to be crazy, and suddenly pointed at Ye Nianchen and scolded loudly: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Why don't you be punished for anything lawless, and I'm just a small revenge for you to be punished so severely? Why? Why? It's not fair! It's unjust! I'm not convinced! I'm not reconciled! ”
"Shut up! How dare you say such a thing now! The second prince never thought that the Yuan family would go crazy in public unusually, and his face was even more embarrassed for a while: "Come on, don't suppress this slut!" ”
Seeing that those guards stepped forward again and wanted to take them away, Yuan screamed and scolded Ye Nianchen even more frantically, as if he had been released.
"Second prince, please wait a minute!"
Seeing this, Ye Nianchen stopped him and said to Li Yu: "Let's let her finish her words and see what the unfairness she refers to is." I'm not a person who cares too much about reputation, but when it comes to clarification, I still have to clarify. ”
The second prince hesitated slightly, then nodded slightly, and did not refute Ye Nianchen's suggestion.
Yuan Shi got the opportunity, struggled to break free from the shackles of the guards, neither cried nor made trouble, and asked in public as if he had changed into a different person: "Ye Nianchen, although I am wrong, it is nothing compared to what you did!" I don't bother to say anything else, just because you use the gentleman's sword privately, it is a capital crime to kill the head, but why have you not done anything at all, why is this? Why? ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
