Chapter 196: House arrest in disguise
Yi Sijin rode all the way to the horse, he wanted to know how important it was that made him enter the palace in such a hurry, but he vaguely felt that the matter was related to Ye Xintian.
Since it was related to Ye Xintian, he had to go, after all, he also intervened. It's just that he really wants to know what kind of people are so powerful, they haven't returned to the house yet, and this matter has spread throughout the entire Chen Kingdom, and it has also reached the ears of Emperor Chen.
He has to break this status quo as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be beneficial to anyone, and even he will not be able to help Ye Xintian, he knows that she is not at fault in this matter, and she has no reason to be the object of everyone's blame.
If someone else touches something that is dear to him, something precious, perhaps his approach will be even more extreme. Moreover, she let go of all her prejudices and went to save Ye Chengcheng, which is already the greatest tolerance.
When he arrived at the thatched house, there was only Ye Tingcheng outside, presumably Ye Xintian rescued Ye Tingcheng first, and then turned back to save Chunke. If he had been the one who had changed at that time, he might not have saved Ye Tingcheng first, after all, it was Ye Tingcheng who started it, and everything that happened next would not have happened without her.
"Please stay." I don't know when a eunuch appeared beside him, and he blocked the door of the imperial study, preventing Yi Sijin from stepping forward again.
Yi Sijin stopped, this was the first time he had been turned away, and he didn't even have the qualification to knock on the door, he frowned and asked, "What did you mean by asking your father-in-law just now?" ”
"Emperor Chen is discussing business with the minister in the study, and asks the prince to wait for the summons here." The eunuch bowed his head and spoke respectfully.
Yi Sijin pursed her lips, didn't say anything more, stood straight at the door, and waited quietly, by the way, thinking in her heart what Emperor Chen would say to her.
Now that the holy decree has arrived at the gate of King Jin's mansion, he believes that Emperor Chen already knows about the disfigurement of Ye Tingcheng, as for who is adding fuel and vinegar to it, he has a candidate in his heart, but he doesn't know how far things have come.
Yi Sijin stood obediently and waited, but as time passed, there was no movement in the imperial study, and he didn't feel that there was anyone talking inside.
In the end, he stepped forward, and a second before the eunuch stepped forward to stop him, he pushed open the door of the imperial study, and only Emperor Chen was sitting on a high seat to review the folds, and there was no so-called minister to discuss important matters at all.
Therefore, from beginning to end, Yi Sijin was waiting in the air, and as for when to wait, it all depends on Emperor Chen's mood.
This is the first time that Emperor Chen asked Yi Sijin to wait without a purpose, why did he do this?
"Father!" Yi Sijin shouted when she entered the door.
The brush in Emperor Chen's hand paused, and while the ink had not yet dripped down, he put the brush back on the inkstone, looked up at Yi Sijin who broke in, and said, "Jin'er, you are becoming more and more unruly." ”
"Dare to ask my father, what did my son do wrong?" Yi Sijin doesn't understand, why doesn't King Jin see him?
Emperor Chen sneered and said, "Jin'er, you used to be very obedient, and you never asked too much, when did you start to become so anxious?" ”
Emperor Chen felt that this was not a good thing, and he had to correct it in time before he had made more changes.
"Does Father know about Ye Chengcheng?" Yi Sijin was standing at the door just now, her eyelids kept jumping, did it imply that something was going to happen?
"It is said that the one who is close to ink is black, Jin'er, you have been doing things more and more indisproportionately recently, and you are becoming more and more unruly!" Emperor Chen said.
"Things are not what my father thought, Erchen was present at the time, and Erchen can prove that the matter has nothing to do with Ye Xintian!" Yi Sijin didn't understand why Emperor Chen insisted that it was Ye Xintian who caused Ye Qingcheng to be disfigured, and he didn't listen to his explanation at all.
"Proof? Do I need proof from you? ”
"What do you mean?"
"I don't care who hurt Ye Qingcheng, since someone said that it was Ye Xintian, it was Ye Xintian."
"That's because the other party wants to confirm Ye Xintian's crime!"
"Then sit down." Emperor Chen said in a deep voice, with irresistibility in his tone.
Yi Sijin lowered her shoulders and came to a conclusion: "It seems that the father doesn't want to know what the truth is. ”
"Yes, not necessarily." Emperor Chen did not deny it, and then said: "Since someone has made a move, I can borrow a knife to kill people, and I don't have to dirty my hands." ”
"But that's really not the case."
"Nobody cares what the facts are, they want a result. Now they are suspicious of each other, and the chickens in the cage are fighting, so we can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
"But Ye Xintian is innocent."
"She is not innocent, the most wrong thing for her is to become Ye Tianquan's daughter, and in order to marry you, she tried all means, which is not a good thing." Emperor Chen is now firmly seated on the throne, and those who want to drag him off the throne are enemies.
Yi Sijin opened her lips, but she couldn't say a word, so she could only swallow the full words back into her stomach. No matter who the complainant was, Emperor Chen planned to take this opportunity to get rid of the Ye family and teach Ye Tianquan some lessons.
Yes, Ye Tianquan's influence in the court is getting bigger and bigger, and it even endangers the throne and who the successor is, and Emperor Chen will not allow anyone to meddle in these things.
Ye Tingquan formed a gang in the court, it is not an overnight thing, and his prestige may even exceed that of Emperor Chen, Emperor Chen is very jealous of Ye Tingquan, but he can't clearly convict Ye Tingquan of the crime, which will cause turmoil in the court.
Therefore, this disfigurement of Ye Chengcheng is a good breakthrough. If it is heavy, Ye Tianquan will not be able to protect the black veil on his head, and at worst, the Ye family will kill each other.
Emperor Chen saw that Yi Sijin didn't speak, so he reminded him loudly: "The matter has come to this, don't be soft-hearted, don't interfere, you just don't know, I left you in the palace, and you will go back to your Jinwang Mansion tomorrow." ”
Yi Sijin was shocked, Emperor Chen was planning to cut off any retreat from Ye Xintian, and he also wanted to use this to condemn Ye Xintian. If Ye Qianquan shielded Ye Xintian, Emperor Chen could charge Ye Tianquan with a crime and weaken Ye Qianquan's power.
"Father sent Ye Tianquan to the palace to arrest people?" Yi Sijin is a question sentence on the surface, but in fact, she already knows very well in her heart that this is the result.
Emperor Chen got up, walked to Yi Sijin's side, put his hand on his shoulder and patted him, and then said, "Don't act rashly, watch the show well." ”
How could Yi Sijin not understand the meaning of Emperor Chen's words, let him not meddle in this matter, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and add oil and vinegar if necessary, so that things will develop in the direction they want.
★★★★★★
Ye Xintian was trapped in King Jin's mansion by a holy decree, and she was not allowed to enter and exit at will, which was already considered house arrest in disguise, but she didn't care at all, and after returning to Mingyue Pavilion, she began to squat among the flowers and pick all kinds of flowers and plants, grinding medicinal herbs, and looked like she had nothing to do with her.
Qingling accompanied her, helping Ye Xintian to fight and divide the medicinal materials, but suddenly heard a noise outside the door, so she shouted dissatisfiedly: "What's the noise!" ”
As soon as Qingling's words fell, a group of people swaggered into the courtyard of Mingyue Pavilion, all holding long swords, with tight muscles on their bodies, and they looked like Lian Jiazi. They broke in viciously and surrounded Ye Xintian beside the stone table.
"Who are you, do you know what the crime of trespassing into the palace is!" Seeing this, Qing Ling got in from the side and opened her arms to protect Ye Xintian behind her.
Ye Xintian stopped grinding in her hand, she was preparing the ointment given to Ye Tingcheng to apply to her face, as long as she hurried up, Ye Tingcheng's face could still be saved, but someone insisted on adding problems to her.
Ye Xintian raised her hand and put it on Qing Ling's arm, signaling Qing Ling not to act rashly, because she knew very well that these people were coming for her.
"You have something to say quickly, this princess still has something to do, so I don't need to play with you!" Ye Xintian said impatiently, she wanted to solve it quickly, so as not to cause trouble to others.
"Princess Jin has such a big temper, I don't know and think you're the crown princess." Ye Qianquan's mocking voice sounded, and Ye Xintian's face was completely ignored in his words.
Ye Xintian hooked his lips coldly, looking at this battle and this posture, could it be that Ye Tingcheng is Ye Tingquan's daughter, and she is nothing? The more she thought about it, the colder it became, so she hid her injured hand behind her, giving her the impression of being one hand behind her.
"I don't know why my father came?" Ye Xintian asked in a very detached tone.
Ye Tianquan snorted coldly and said, "Do you really not understand or fake you don't understand?" ”
"Please also make it clear to Daddy."
"You hurt the crown princess, and the prince wants General Ben to come and ask for clarification!" Ye Xintian, how dare she, how dare she hurt his Ye Tianquan's most beloved daughter!
It seems that he has been too indulgent to Ye Xintian recently. He didn't do what he said, he didn't make her learn her lesson; She asserts herself, and he doesn't punish her; She had a set of things on the surface and a set in her heart, and he did not correct them in time, which led to today's catastrophe.
"Daddy, does the prince want to understand, or do you old man want to find out? If the meaning is different, don't represent anyone else. Ye Xintian kindly reminded.
"It's all the same, this general can be represented, you can go with your father."
Ye Xintian sneered, she said: "As a father, for the sake of another daughter's appearance, he took someone with a sword, and forced his daughter to give his daughter justice, right?" ”
"Tell me, did you damage your sister's appearance?" Ye Tianquan was impatient and asked in a deep voice.
"It's not." Ye Xintian denied it, but didn't want to explain too much.
"Fathers must hear the truth!" Ye Tianquan clenched his fists and said angrily.
The corners of Ye Xintian's mouth flashed with a sneer, you said that people are not very strange, they are not happy to hear what they don't want to hear, and they have to say what they think.
"If I say yes, does Daddy want them to draw their swords against me?" Ye Xintian's eyes swept over the others present and asked.
Ye Tianquan suddenly laughed, covering half of his face with one hand, covering one eye, making it impossible to see his mind clearly, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he already had a plan in his heart.
Ye Xintian only felt a gust of wind pass across her face, and there was a small 'buzzing' sound in her ears, and when she came back to her senses, she lowered her eyes, and the sharp, sharp, and cold light of the long sword, the tip of the sword was aimed at her neck.
