Chapter XXIII
"Everything the slave and maid say is true, if there is half a lie, I am willing to suffer any punishment, and I will not die well!"
The maid reacted very quickly, and immediately swore an oath, refuting Qin Haocheng's questioning.
"There must be something wrong with this......
Qin Haocheng wanted to speak for Ye Nianchen again, but was stopped by the prince on the side: "The emperor will know this matter, and there is no need to say anything about it." ”
The prince's words sounded like he was reprimanding Qin Haocheng, but in fact, they were also the most appropriate reminder.
There are people in this world who do good things with good intentions, and there are many people who do bad things with good intentions, for Ye Nianchen, too much maintenance by others at this moment is not necessarily a good thing.
“…… Be! Although Qin Haocheng was not very reconciled, he immediately realized his gaffe just now, and turned to the emperor to ask for guilt: "Weichen overstepped, please ask the emperor to surrender!" ”
This kind of maintenance of Ye Nianchen is too eye-catching, reminiscent of Pianpin, knowing that Ye Nianchen doesn't know much about his peeing, so most people naturally can't help but think more about the relationship between men and women.
And Ye Ruxue was simply angry, and her resentment towards Ye Nianchen rose to the point where it was difficult to recover.
The emperor didn't say anything, nor did he condemn him, and even looked at the prince and Qin Haocheng with a smile, which made people unable to guess what they were thinking.
"Second child, what do you think about this?" After a moment, the emperor turned his head to look at the second prince beside him.
One of the parties to this matter is the side room of the second prince, so it is not surprising that the emperor asked about the second prince.
However, the second prince said affirmatively: "Father, this matter involves people in the son's court, so the son-in-law should avoid suspicion in his feelings, and all the power is up to his father." ”
Such an attitude is quite wise, the second prince has nothing abnormal on the surface, but he is still a little unhappy in his heart.
No matter what, no matter whether it is right or wrong, in short, on an occasion like today, the people in his own house made such an accident and became a topic of everyone's talk, and it was directly pushed in front of the emperor, which is not a glorious thing for the second prince.
Seeing this, the emperor didn't look at the second prince: "Yuan, I ask you, is what the maid said true?" ”
Asked by name, Concubine Yuan looked like she didn't dare to bully the king anymore, and said with trepidation: "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine didn't intentionally want to bully the king before, what the concubine said is true, but if things are broken, they will be broken, and the concubine body is unwilling to pursue too much and hurt her feelings." ”
This call is reasonable, and it shows Yuan's kindness and mind, and it can be said that there is nothing wrong with it.
After hearing this, the emperor did not blame, but asked again: "Okay, today I will make an exception to judge the case for you, if it will be confirmed that your master and servant's words are true, what kind of treatment do you hope to get?" ”
The emperor made it clear that he took care of this matter, of course, it was an exception, after all, what he dealt with on weekdays was all the major affairs of the country, and this kind of trivial matter such as idle people was not qualified to let him personally intervene.
Hearing this, the Yuan family looked like he didn't dare to deceive and delay the saint's kung fu, and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" In fact, if this matter is only related to the concubine herself, it is just that, but after all, the concubine is a person in the second prince's mansion, in order not to affect the reputation of the prince's mansion, the concubine hopes that the sister of the Ye family can apologize to me in public, and there is no need for anything else, and there is no need to pay for the bracelet. ”
After everyone heard this, many people couldn't help but nodded, secretly saying that this Concubine Yuan is really generous, the more so, the more bad the impression Ye Nianchen gives people in comparison.
In fact, everyone knows the saint's style of acting, once the truth of the matter is determined, there will be clear rewards and punishments, so how can Ye Nianchen apologize and make it easy.
Ye Ruxue sneered in her heart, this time even the emperor came forward, she wanted to see how long Ye Nianchen could hold his head high, and what qualifications he had to be arrogant and proud!
The emperor nodded slightly, did not ask the Yuan family again, and after a while, his eyes moved to Ye Nianchen, who was standing a little farther away: "Ye family girl, don't come forward to reply!" ”
In this way, Ye Nianchen was no longer silent, and walked out of the original place according to the holy order.
"Ye Nianchen, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" In front of everyone, Ye Nianchen greeted him in a regular and calm manner, without the slightest worry or panic.
At this time, Ye Nianchen, in addition to his appearance that people can't ignore, as well as some preconceived bad impressions, his dignified and elegant temperament is also impressive.
Even the emperor couldn't help but take a closer look, it was a little far away before, and at this time, when he looked closely, he felt that the woman in front of him had something indescribably special.
Ye Nianchen...... Did your uncle choose this name for you? The emperor no longer looked at it like that, and after signaling the excuse, he asked a question that had nothing to do with the matter of the Yuan family's maidservant's complaint.
Such an attitude suddenly made many people a little unable to understand the emperor's true thoughts, and the maid who knelt on the ground and was not allowed to get up was even more slightly strange.
The "uncle" mentioned in the emperor's words inevitably reminds people of the biggest protective force behind Ye Nianchen, Liu Zitong, the general of Zhennan!
In this way, this means that if there is no absolute ironclad evidence, even the emperor will not easily conclude anything, and if others want to move this Ye Nianchen, it is not as simple as originally imagined.
Many people suddenly sobered up a little, especially the few noble girls who helped the Yuan family to come out and took the initiative to jump out and accuse Ye Nianchen just now, and finally remembered that although Ye Nianchen was not treated by Princess Zhaohua, he was not a helpless person who could be bullied.
"Back to the emperor's words, the name of the dust was taken by my late mother, and the dust is the word of my grandfather, which means the feeling of missing." Ye Nianchen briefly explained the origin of his name.
In fact, Ye Nianchen's maternal grandfather was also a well-known figure thirty years ago, when the emperor was alive, he personally praised Ye Nianchen's maternal grandfather as the first brave military general of the Great Wei Dynasty in front of hundreds of civil and military officials!
It's a pity that my grandfather died young, otherwise, the current Liu family would have already been knighted and made a marquis, and their status is very different.
"I see, it's a good name." There was a rare trace of reminiscence in the emperor's eyes, and it was obvious that the memory had stopped at that moment.
But soon, he regained his normal color, and never mentioned the Liu family again, but said directly to Ye Nianchen: "The matter of breaking the Yuan family's jade bracelet, it seems that you have not been able to explain it out loud from beginning to end, I want to hear what you say." ”
The emperor is also fair, no matter what, at least he must listen to the words of both sides first, not just one side.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Nianchen, after hearing the emperor's words, many people seemed to realize that it seemed that the whole incident had happened since the present, Ye Nianchen had not said anything other than denying it at the beginning.
This kind of situation is somewhat abnormal, not to mention that it is rumored that Ye Nianchen doesn't even pay attention to Princess Zhaohua and dares to refute the powerful characters.
"Back to the emperor, this matter has nothing to do with me, Nianchen can't even figure out why Concubine Yuan broke the bracelet by herself and blamed me."
Seeing this, Ye Nianchen was no longer polite, and if he didn't say it, he said it to the point: "Except for my own personal ring, no one can testify to me, so just now I have been thinking about why Concubine Yuan framed me and how I should prove my innocence." ”
