Chapter XXIV
At this moment, Ye Nianchen is really a blockbuster.
The calmness and calmness that seems to be out of the way can't help but give you an intuitive feeling that you are not afraid of shadows.
Some people couldn't help but start to waver, could it be that there really was something else going on in this matter, and it wasn't Ye Nianchen doing it deliberately? Or, Ye Nianchen had already expected everything, so he was so calm?
However, whether it is curiosity or suspicion, standing on the side of the Yuan family or leaning towards Ye Nianchen, everyone is just secretly discussing.
Now that the emperor has personally asked, no one dares to speak out indiscriminately, but one by one can only wait to listen down to see what kind of medicine is sold in Ye Nianchen's gourd.
"You girl has a calm and good temperament, which is much better than your uncle." Far from being displeased, the emperor said with a smile: "Okay, I'm very curious, have you figured out these two questions?" ”
"Back to the emperor, I didn't have any."
Ye Nianchen didn't sell it either, and said frankly: "Nianchen thinks that he met Concubine Yuan for the first time, and he has no grievances, but I really can't understand why Concubine Yuan wants to frame me, and there is no way to prove his innocence for the time being." ”
After that, Ye Nianchen smiled a little helplessly, and then stopped squeaking, looking like I haven't done it anyway, and I can't do anything you want to do with it.
Seeing this, the emperor didn't feel too surprised, according to Ye Nianchen's temperament, if he hadn't had no choice, he would probably not be able to let it go and fight back.
Seeing that Ye Nianchen didn't want to say more, he didn't waste any more effort, and asked Yuan Shi directly: "Since you said that the bracelet was deliberately broken by Ye Nianchen, what actual evidence is there?" ”
"Back to the emperor......" Yuan seemed to be a little unbearable, but he paused again, slightly hesitating.
At this moment, the maid who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly replied: "Tell the emperor, when the eldest lady of the Ye family broke the bracelet of my side concubine for no reason, several young ladies sitting next to her saw it with their own eyes, and they all spoke for my side concubine before, but the eldest lady of the Ye family didn't take anyone in her eyes at all." ”
Hearing this, the emperor ordered it to be verified in public.
Sure enough, after a while, two noble girls came out of the queue and took the initiative to tell the previous story, saying very categorically, I saw Ye Nianchen suddenly pick up Concubine Yuan's bracelet and smash it to the ground for no reason.
The two of them had the same caliber, and even how Ye Nianchen suddenly became nervous and how he smashed the process was clear, and it was real and there was nothing wrong with it.
As a result, many people who were already on the side of the Yuan family became schadenfreude, especially those who were originally prejudiced against Ye Nianchen and disliked it very much, and they couldn't wait to see how Ye Nianchen would end up and what else was there to quibble.
Of course, there are also a few people who are worried about Ye Nianchen's anxiety, after all, this kind of thing can be big or small, if he really can't prove his innocence, whether it is the punishment he will face immediately or the impact in the future, it will be extremely unfavorable.
"Your Majesty, now that the human and material evidence is there, I can't allow the eldest lady of the Ye family to deny it, and I ask the emperor to uphold justice for my concubine, I can't let the concubine suffer this humiliation in vain, let alone let the face of the second prince's mansion be humiliated in vain."
In the end, the maid was full of grief and indignation, and kowtowed to the emperor again, directly raising the nature of the matter in public again, but she didn't directly say that Ye Nianchen had insulted the royal family.
When things got to this point, it seemed that the Yuan family couldn't be silent anymore, and always let his minions speak out.
She let out a long sigh, looking as if she had finally made up her mind, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, as long as the sister of the Ye family apologizes to the concubine in public, admitting that what she did this time is indeed wrong, and the concubine will not be held accountable, and please don't punish the emperor too much." ”
At such a time, the Yuan family was still speaking for Ye Nianchen, and on the other hand, Ye Nianchen refused to admit the wrong things he had done from beginning to end, and many people were even more resentful, and the disdain and contempt fell on Ye Nianchen unabashedly.
"Ye girl, now there are all kinds of human and material evidence, if you can't prove your innocence with empirical evidence, I can only deal with it truthfully!"
The emperor's words fell down like this, not in a hurry, not lightly or severely, as if to give Ye Nianfa the last chance, or the last notice before the punishment.
The attitude of the saint was already very clear, and many people looked at Ye Nianchen with more and more schadenfreude, especially the few noble girls who testified and reprimanded Ye Nianchen with the Yuan family before.
Ye Ruxue was secretly proud, the turbid breath that had been held in her heart for so long was finally about to be discharged with annoyance, she wanted to see that in front of the emperor, this arrogant and arrogant slut still dared to contradict the emperor without knowing whether she was alive or dead!
The atmosphere instantly became cold, Qin Haocheng was so anxious that he couldn't do it, seeing that the emperor was going to punish him directly, but Sister Nianchen didn't say a word, if it weren't for the prince's eyes warning when people were not paying attention, he almost lost his temper again, forgetting his identity and responsibilities at the moment.
"Little Hou Ye has a good relationship with Miss Nianchen?" Gu Mingyi, who had never spoken, suddenly looked sideways at Qin Haocheng without warning, and asked in front of the emperor.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and even the emperor looked back at Qin Haocheng.
"I have known Nianchen's sister since I was a child......" Qin Haocheng replied a little cautiously, he didn't know what Gu Mingyi meant, and he was afraid that what he said would have a bad impact on Ye Nianchen.
"Let the national teacher smile, Nianchen's biological mother and Xiao Houye's mother are handkerchief friends, and they often played together when they were children, so the relationship is naturally good. So seeing that Nianchen was in trouble again, the little marquis was inevitably more worried than others. ”
Seeing this, Ye Nianchen took Qin Haocheng's words and explained them in detail, but he didn't think that Gu Mingyi's move was any bad target.
In fact, Qin Haocheng's words and actions several times seemed too eager, and it was not a good thing for her or Qin Haocheng to be so eye-catching without any reason to maintain it.
Gu Mingyi made this problem clear in public, and she just explained it in public, which saved someone from making a fuss about this point in the future.
"It turned out to be a childhood sweetheart, two little guesses, and the feelings of childhood were the purest, which is really enviable."
Gu Mingyi smiled and nodded, and there was really a bit of envy in his tone.
"There are not many things that can make the national teacher take the initiative to pay attention, but I think the national teacher has nothing to do with the girl of the Ye family?" The emperor was extremely sensitive, but he asked casually as if he was joking.
From beginning to end today, Gu Mingyi didn't say a word to him, the emperor, but he took the initiative to ask about things related to Ye Nianchen, and then thought of the day Ye Nianchen returned to Beijing, Gu Mingyi would go to Ye Mansion to listen to the play, and even pointed out the identity of the "gentleman's sword" for Ye Nianchen.
Hearing the emperor's words, Gu Mingyi did not deny it, and said frankly in front of the curious and suspicious eyes of a group of people: "Although I and Miss Nianchen are new acquaintances, there are indeed some special fates that others do not have......
