On the way back to the palace, Ye Yufu was full of worries, and she didn't know how to face Song Wei after thinking about it for a long time. And Xue'er on the side is obviously also worried. looked at Ye Yufu several times and wanted to speak, but couldn't say it.

This time when she went back to the palace, sure enough, Ye Yufu hadn't been able to enter the door of her palace, and she saw Song Wei's personal maid standing by the gate from a distance.

As soon as the maid saw Ye Yufu coming back, she hurriedly ran in again, Ye Yufu sighed heavily, it seems that she really can't hide now.

Sure enough, as soon as I stepped into the main hall, I saw Song Wei sitting on the main seat with her eyes closed, although she looked very calm, but if you looked closely, you could see that she was hiding unbearable anger.

"Mother."

Song Wei opened her eyes, stared at Ye Yufu faintly for a long time, and said, "Today, the Seventh Princess came to me and told me something, Fu'er, I want to ask you if it's true." ”

Ye Yufu's hands were hidden under his sleeves, and he was sweating a little at the moment.

"I don't know what the Seventh Princess said, is it related to me?"

Ye Yufu rarely lies, let alone treats her mother, so she is a little nervous now, on the one hand, she is afraid that she will be exposed, and on the other hand, she is afraid that Song Wei will see it.

Song Wei speaks softly and softly on weekdays, and rarely has such a serious time, "The Seventh Princess came to me to cry, she said that the relationship between you and the Seventh Prince is not just as simple as a brother and sister. ”

Ye Yufu chuckled in her heart, but still said sharply: "Is the Seventh Imperial Concubine crazy, how dare you go to your mother to talk nonsense." ”

"That's right, I thought so at first, but the Seventh Princess said something later, which made me suspicious, you always told me that these boots were given to the Seventh Prince."

After speaking, Song Wei took out the pair of boots from the ground, and as Ye Yugui expected, Liu Xiaorou really presented the boots to Song Wei.

She took the boots, and every stitch and thread on them was from her own handwriting, and Song Wei must be able to see it.

"This boot is indeed a gift from me to the Seventh Emperor Brother, and I don't think he has any shoes that fit, so I gave them to him on his birthday last year." Ye Yufu said, silently praying in her heart that Song Wei would never see the embroidered things inside.

But the more afraid she is, the more she is afraid of something, Song Wei's eyes are fierce: "What is the embroidery in the boots, do you know." ”

Fortunately, Ye Yufu had been prepared before, otherwise she would have been flustered and couldn't even speak clearly.

"I also embroidered a hibiscus flower inside."

Song Wei was a little surprised, before she could ask anything, Ye Yufu said it herself, "Why do you embroider hibiscus in it?" ”

Ye Yufu looked calm, her eyes didn't even blink, and she continued: "The concubine should know that I have always had the habit of embroidering hibiscus on top of my own embroidery, and the carved pillow I once gave to the concubine was also embroidered with the same flower. ”

Song Wei twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, there was indeed a small red hibiscus in the corner of the carved pillow. It can be seen that Ye Yufu is not lying.

"Then let me ask you, is there anything else embroidered next to that hibiscus flower?"

"No more. I only embroidered a hibiscus, and the others certainly didn't. ”

"You're taking those boots and looking closely, there must be something else on them." Ye Yufu still deliberately used a very light color thread to embroider the word at that time, but if you have a heart, you can still find it.

She pretended not to know anything, and broke the cuff of her boots again, and the one next to Xiao Xiao's hibiscus flower was indeed the small guizi she had inadvertently embroidered.

"Isn't that the name of the Seventh Emperor Brother?" Ye Yufu twisted her eyebrows, obviously puzzled by the words that suddenly appeared in the cuffs of her boots.

Song Wei looked a little angry: "Isn't this embroidered by you, Fu'er should know what it means for our Dasheng woman to give a man and embroider the other party's name, then it's your imperial brother!" How are you so confused? Did the previous Yu Gongzi's divorce also have something to do with this matter! ”

Unexpectedly, Song Wei could still think of Yu Baiyi's divorce based on this small pair of boots, but whether it was speculation or something else, she was right.

But even if all the evidence points to the fact that she and Ye Yugui have a different relationship between her sister and brother, she must deny it, because this matter must not be admitted to anyone.

"I don't know what you're talking about, because I didn't embroider it."

Song Wei was supporting her forehead with one hand at this time, and put it on the table with one hand, "Fu'er, how do you make the concubine believe that it was not embroidered by you." The Seven Princesses have all come to me. ”

Ye Yufu simply fell to her knees with a puff and said loudly: "Mother concubine, think about it, many people also knew when I gave these boots, how could I do such a stupid thing of embroidering words on them, it was really a misunderstanding of the Seventh Princess." ”

In fact, Song Wei half believed and half didn't believe what Liu Xiaorou said before, and looking at Ye Yufu's attitude now, it really doesn't look like she knows about it.

"Fu'er, the mother concubine actually doesn't believe it, you have been a measured child since you were a child, it is impossible to do this kind of thing, the child of the seventh prince is not as indisputable as it seems on the face, as long as it is the prince, there is no one who does not yearn for a high place, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility, the more you will consider, Fu'er's mother only hopes that you can marry a man who treats you well to you sincerely in the future."

Song Wei's words are of profound significance, but the deep care and love in them is not fake, Ye Yufu felt a little guilty, she actually deceived her mother. If one day the matter is revealed, I'm afraid she won't dare to face Song Wei again.

“...... Thank you for your teachings, I will definitely not do anything that will damage the face of the royal family. ”

After Song Wei left, Ye Yufu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but worry about the situation over there. It's not even comfortable to sleep at night.

But on the second day, news came that Liu Xiaorou went to find Concubine Shuniang again, and said that the embroidered characters in the boots were done by the embroidery girl in the Seven Princes' Mansion, and it had nothing to do with Ye Yufu.

When it was almost noon, Ye Yufu was going to go for a walk in the imperial garden, but she happened to meet Liu Xiaorou who was about to leave the palace, but Liu Xiaorou pretended not to know Ye Yufu for the first time, and left without looking.

A few months later, a major event happened in the palace, Bai Qing, the most important staff member around Ye Yushen, hanged himself in his home, leaving only a bloody letter, on which all the items were accusing the prince.

When he searched his home, he found a large number of false accounts hidden by the prince over the years and evidence of bribery with other officials. All of a sudden, the direction of the wind in the palace changed.

After Ye Duanli learned about this, he was even more angry and vomited blood on the spot in the court, and ordered the prince to be placed under house arrest, and he was not allowed to come out without his order.

When Ye Yufu knew about this, her first reaction was that Ye Yushen must have been framed, her two imperial brothers were the most upright among so many princes, or they would not have been made princes since childhood. But now that the Bai Qing people are all dead, there is no proof of death, even if Ye Yushen has a big grievance, there is nowhere to reason.

After this incident, she went to visit the crown princess, but the crown princess has closed her door since the prince's accident. And Song Wei also went to intercede with Ye Duanli more than once, but in exchange for Ye Duanli's greater anger, and even temporarily withdrew her right to associate the sixth palace.

During this period, the Song family would be rejected every time they played in the court, and even attracted criticism from other officials, saying that the prince had fallen, and the Song family also suffered.

The two most powerful princes in the previous dynasty, one died inexplicably, while the other was under house arrest, and now it seems that the seventh prince, who was originally the most unpopular, suddenly became the only one who still has the ability to compete for the throne.

Ye Duan's body has been suffering from serious illnesses and disasters in recent years, and if he doesn't take a lot of medicine every day, he doesn't even have the energy to go to court, he is wearing a bright yellow bedrobe and a big coat at the moment, sitting in the imperial study and looking at the mountains of folds.

Many of these folds were demanding the abolition of the crown prince, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to them when he saw them, and threw them directly to the ground. Since ancient times, there were many emperors, and at this time, he couldn't even help his favorite son, so he could only let this group of ministers play one after another.

Sometimes he regrets it very much, why didn't he want to make Ye Yushen the prince, obviously knowing in his heart that he has a generous personality and is not suitable for fighting with others. When the third prince is still alive, he can at least share part of the responsibility, but since the death of the third prince, it seems that everyone has identified the crown prince.

He still remembers that when Song Cai was pregnant, he once said with a worried face that he only hoped that the child would live the most ordinary and ordinary days, and he should never be allowed to compete for power.

Although there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the things that Ye Yushen did, there were a lot of flaws on a closer look, and Bai Qing probably caught these flaws.

But this Bai Qing has always been by the prince's side, and he has done a lot of things before and after so many years, why did he want to harm the prince.

Ye Duanli had sent someone to investigate just after this incident happened, but all kinds of evidence showed that the prince had indeed done many wrong things. But I'm afraid everyone can see that at this juncture, something so big happened to the prince, someone must be making trouble behind his back. And this person may not be able to escape from the affairs of the three princes back then.

Who would do such a thing, although Ye Duanli is seriously ill now, his brain is not confused, several princes have gone through it in their minds, and it is found that it is the seventh prince Ye Yugui who is most likely to frame the crown prince now.

He has never liked Ye Yugui, after all, this child has been called a disaster star since he was born, his biological mother is still the queen and queen, and his temperament is dull and not good at words, which is really unlovable. Could such a prince, who usually looks honest, be the real murderer behind the scenes?

Ye Duanli pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out why, this throne is like a hot potato right now, and anyone who touches it will be burned. After this incident, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to make a comeback, he really doesn't like the seven princes, and the rest of the princes are also weak and incompetent. Although the Imperial Doctor did not say it explicitly, he also knew that he had little time left. If you don't decide as soon as possible, I'm afraid that it will be another bloody storm at that time.

Somehow, a candidate popped into his mind. Eldest princess Ye Yufu, this big victory is not without precedent for a woman to be the emperor.
