Chapter 68: Leave the court

Ye Xiaoyan felt that the expressions of these two people were very wrong. With Mama Dong and Xing'er's feelings for the Liu family, it shouldn't be like this.

She squinted at the coffin and sniffed the air, but there was no corpse smell at all. Liu has been dead for more than ten days, and it should be the time when the smell is unpleasant, even if there is a coffin, it can't be covered.

Ye Xiaoyan approached the coffin and found that the wood chips on the coffin lid had been inserted. It stands to reason that this wood cut will not be inserted until the time of Qiling, and this early insertion is because she doesn't want to see the remains of the Liu family in the coffin? Ye Xiaoyan sniffed at the crack of the coffin, but there was still no smell.

The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who was following Ye Xiaoyan, said, "Second Miss, hurry up and pay tribute." The lord said, I told you to go to the study after the memorial service, and the lord is still waiting for you there. ”

"Got it." Ye Xiaoyan replied lightly. Then change into filial piety clothes and pay tribute in front of the coffin. Rong Mama, Lu Zhi and others also knelt down to worship.

The housekeeper seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, and when she saw everyone kneeling down and getting up, she hurriedly said, "Second Miss, please!" ”

Ye Xiaoyan came to the study with the housekeeper, Rong Mama and Luzhi stayed outside the study door, and Ye Xiaoyan walked in alone.

In the study, Prime Minister Ye Cheng sat behind the table, and there was a piece of paper on the table, on which something was written.

"I've seen my father." Ye Xiaoyan saluted.

Prime Minister Ye didn't say let her sit, but just said, "King Xuan didn't come back with you?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan found a chair and sat down by herself, and said, "Xiao Shizi is a guest in the Xuanwang Mansion, and the prince accompanies Xiao Shizi. ”

Prime Minister Ye said lightly: "When did you learn to read?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan didn't understand, and showed a questioning expression.

Prime Minister Ye said: "Medical book! ”

Oh, it turned out that I wanted to ask King Xuan about the recovery of his legs.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "The prince has always liked to read, and there are many books in the study. The daughter accompanied King Xuan, and when she had nothing to do, she just took a few copies and read them. ”

In fact, Prime Minister Ye didn't care what books she read, and how she healed King Xuan's legs.

Prime Minister Ye said: "Now that King Xuan's legs have recovered, you and your sister should also return to you." ”

Ye Xiaoyan was stunned. What do you mean?

Prime Minister Ye said: "You invite yourself to come down to the court and return the position of Princess Xuan to your sister!" ”

Ye Xiaoyan's first reaction: I heard me right? Excuse yourself?

"Why should I ask myself to come down?" Ye Xiaoyan's tone was gentle and full of doubts.

"You're just a concubine, how can you be worthy of King Xuan." Prime Minister Ye Cheng's tone was cold and arrogant, as if this concubine was not his daughter.

"But in the first place, you married me off!" Ye Xiaoyan still spoke softly and was full of doubts.

She was genuinely confused. It's obviously their own doing, but they want to regret it, and the dignified prime minister is this kind of virtue?

"At the beginning, your sister was suffering from a serious illness and was not suitable for marriage, but the emperor urged her to get married quickly, so you were asked to marry your sister instead. Now that your sister is recovering, it's time for you to give up the position of Princess Xuan. Prime Minister Ye Cheng said unhurriedly.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoyan sneered in her heart. Ye Fusheng is really no one talking nonsense with his eyes open, is he bullying her for amnesia plus being easy to handle?

"But," Ye Xiaoyan said with some embarrassment: "My daughter's name has been on the royal jade plate, I'm afraid it's not easy to change." ”

"If you ask yourself to leave the court, you can naturally change it." Prime Minister Ye Cheng saw that this daughter had a weak attitude, and thought to himself, thinking that she was different from before, but it turned out that she was still the same as before.

"Why?" Ye Xiaoyan asked.

"You don't feel worthy of King Xuan." Prime Minister Ye Cheng has already helped her think of a reason.

"But I think I'm worthy!" Ye Xiaoyan had a puzzled and innocent expression.

"You don't deserve it." Prime Minister Ye Cheng categorically spit out four words.

"King Xuan also thinks I'm worthy." Ye Xiaoyan looked very naΓ―ve and sure.

"You don't deserve it!" Prime Minister Ye emphasized again.

"Why don't we ask King Xuan, am I worthy?" Ye Xiaoyan looked very serious about seeking the truth.

"You don't have to ask, I say you don't deserve it, you don't deserve it." Prime Minister Ye was a little annoyed.

"But I have already married out and become a member of the Nangong family, whether I am worthy of it or not, whether you say it or not, I have to ask King Xuan about this." Ye Xiaoyan is still pretending to be naΓ―ve.

"Smack!" Prime Minister Ye slapped the table and said, "You are the daughter of my Ye family, I can do whatever I tell you!" As he spoke, he walked around the table, vacated his chair, and said, "Come and write a letter to invite you to the next class." ”

"I can't write." Ye Xiaoyan's face sank, her mouth was deflated, and her little head was tilted to the side.

"Write!" Prime Minister Ye Cheng ordered with a reprimand.

Ye Xiaoyan turned her head to the side and ignored him.

She was thinking: If she tore her face and made a big fuss today, Ye Fusheng would definitely cover up his own shamelessness, and seeing that Nangong You had recovered, he wanted to change Ye Wanting and ask her to write a letter inviting herself to the court. With his ability to make up nonsense, he will definitely make up another set of rhetoric, telling others that she is a big rebel. This reputation of unfilial piety spreads, but she doesn't care about it, I don't know if Nangong You will care. Even Nangong You doesn't care, I don't know if the royal family will care. If the emperor ordered Nangong to divorce his wife, or directly remove her from the royal jade plate, it would really be Ye Fusheng's wish.

"Come and write!" Prime Minister Ye slapped the pen on the table.

Ye Xiaoyan resisted and did not cooperate, did not say a word, and sat motionless.

Prime Minister Ye said: "I have already prepared it for you, you can just copy it." After writing it, the Liu family can be buried in the Ye family's tomb tomorrow. ”

When Ye Xiaoyan heard this, she thought: If she doesn't write, the Liu family won't be buried?

So he asked, "If you don't write, what will you do?" ”

Prime Minister Ye Cheng said with a gloomy face: "The Liu family has an unfilial and disrespectful daughter like you, it is her fault, and she should abandon the corpse in the wilderness." ”

Ye Xiaoyan looked at him in disbelief. This man is really too cool! Killing the Liu clan doesn't count, and now he has to abandon the corpse wilderness. The cats and dogs in the family are dead, and they all have to dig a pit and bury them, is the Liu family not even as good as a cat and a dog?

Ye Xiaoyan exhaled deeply. Naturally, she would not write any self-invitation to the court for the Liu family to bury the Ye family's grave. It's a big deal that Ye Fusheng abandoned Liu's corpse in the wilderness with her front foot, and she carried Liu's corpse back with her back foot and buried her.

Thinking of this, she felt that Liu's coffin was strange. Why is there no taste at all? That doesn't make sense.

So he said, "I want to see my mother's face first." ”

Prime Minister Ye asked, "Didn't you see it before?" ”

"I didn't see it. The nails of the coffin have been inserted. ”

"Let's go and see." Prime Minister Ye waved his hand and was right.

Liu's body was disposed of at will by the Wang family before, and he ordered the Wang family to find it again. The Wang family sent someone to look for it, but they didn't find it. The subordinates who handled the matter at the beginning dragged Liu's body to a mass grave and dug a pit to bury it casually. Later, I went to look for it, but the body in the pit was gone. They came back to report the incident to Wang, and when Wang saw that he could not give an account to the master, he ordered the man to make a dummy with straw and soil, put on Liu's clothes, and put it in a coffin. It just so happened that Prime Minister Ye didn't want to see the dead and didn't go to check, so the Wang family reported to him that the matter was done, and he thought that the coffin contained the Liu family.
