Without waiting for Xia Mubai to make a sound, she lowered her voice and said, "For the convenience of travel, I have to dress up like this, and I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will forgive me." ”

Xia Mubai's IQ is five years old, but people are not stupid, no, after listening to what Ye Xia said, he immediately nodded and promised: "I will help you keep it secret, so what should I call you now?" ”

Tilting his head and thinking about it, Xia Mubai blinked his clear and innocent eyes and said, "Then I'll call you second brother!" ”

Ye Xia wanted to say that she couldn't afford to be called "second sister" and "second brother", however, she knew that the other party was simple-minded, if she explained and refused, it would probably make the other party sad, maybe this kid would immediately give her a golden bean.

Gathering his feelings, Ye Xia responded with a smile: "Okay." ”

Xia Mubai's eyes immediately lit up with joy, and asked, "Second brother, where are you going to take Xiao Yanyan, Xiao Dye and Xiao Ningning?" ”

Without waiting for Ye Xia to answer, Xia Mubai added: "Then can I join you?" "The little guy Zhumo has a big head, although in this capital, even if his family is walking alone on the street, no one dares to bully,

，

But just let the prince walk on the street with the former Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi, the second daughter of the Ye family, if the prince knows about it, it is nothing, but if it is passed into the palace and into the ears of the emperor, what should I do?

Worried about causing trouble to the palace, the little servant Zhumo gritted his teeth and said to Xia Mubai: "Lord Shizi, if you don't return to the house with the slave, I'm afraid you will have to be punished by the prince again." ”

Thinking of being punished by his father, Xia Mubai suddenly felt very faceless, struggled again and again in his eyes, and finally lowered his head, and said to Ye Xia in a slumped voice: "Second brother, I have to go back to the house, let's play together another day!" ”

After speaking, he waved his hand reluctantly, and walked away from the little guy Zhumo.

In the palace.

Cen Guifei received the news from the outside and learned that Emperor Yongkang ordered the Ye family to be put back in prison, and the case of the Ye family was handed over to Dali Temple for retrial.

Why?

Why is this happening today?

Why did the emperor send the Ye family's case back to Dali Temple for retrial?

Could it be that the emperor is suspicious of the case?

Thinking about this, Cen Guifei's heart tightened, and the right hand on her lap and the left hand on the small table next to her were clenched into fists, and even because her hand was too hard, the pain caused by her nails piercing into her palm,

failed to make Cen Guifei come back to her senses from the thoughts that turned over the river and the sea at this moment. The Ye family has to fall, and she must disappear in the capital, she does not allow the Ye family to turn over, and the queen's position is hers.

It's her Cen Yuemei, not Ye Qingxin's slut! There is also the position of the prince, which should belong to her royal son, to the third prince, not the cheap seed born by Ye Qingxin! At the same time, she became the emperor's woman, she gave birth to the emperor in the past ten years as early as Ye Qingxin, and later gave birth to two royal daughters to the emperor, on the other hand, Ye Qingxin?

It took many years to conceive with her, and she has given birth to a son so far, why can she be high and dominate the entire harem, why does she have to be pressed by this slut and can't get ahead?

No, she can't let accidents happen one after another, she has to get in touch with the outside of the palace to prevent the emperor from overturning the case for the Ye family!

"Someone."

Taking a deep breath, Cen Guifei calmed down a little, her expression couldn't see her joy and anger, and she called lightly, and soon, Chun Hui, the aunt who had served Cen Guifei for many years, lowered her eyelids and walked in from outside the hall: "Niangniang, do you have something to order?" ”

Respectfully, Chun Hui still lowered her eyebrows and asked softly.

"This palace has something to order, you come closer."

Cen Guifei said so, and when Chun Hui stepped forward in response, she lowered her voice and explained two sentences in Chun Yuan's ear, and the next moment, Chun Hui looked solemn and led the order to retreat. Obviously, this is to make arrangements in accordance with Cen Guifei's orders.

"Wang Donglai."

Not long after Chun Hui retreated, Cen Guifei called people to the air again.

"The minions are here."

Wang Donglai is the chief eunuch in Cen Guifei's palace, and his aunt Chun Rui are both Cen Guifei's henchmen. But if Concubine Cen has private matters to order, these two people are ordered to make arrangements, and sometimes even go into battle in person to "solve problems" for the master.

Bowing down and walking into the palace gate, Wang Donglai stood in front of Cen Guifei with great respect.

"Let's go, go to the cold palace with the main palace."

Getting up, Concubine Cen walked straight to the outside of the hall. Wang Donglai followed.

On this side of the cold palace, the waste back faces out of the window, lying on the old low couch with a sick face, it is now late August, it is said that the temperature is moderate, but since a few days ago was beaten into the cold palace, Ye Qingxin,

That is, after the abolition, he suddenly seemed to lose all his essence and spirit, coughing twice from time to time, so anxious that Rong Fang went to the room, thinking of a way to buy the guards guarding outside the cold palace to help catch two pairs of decoction for the master to take, however, the effect was very small.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Thinking that the man of the Ye family had been asked to be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, the grief and pain in Ye Qingxin's eyes were almost overflowing, she didn't cry, not because she didn't want to, but because her tears had already flowed clean in the past few days. coughed uncontrollably several times, Ye Qingxin's voice was hoarse, and she said with unconcealable sadness:

"Rong Fang, they're gone...... Cough...... Ahem...... Why do you think that man is so ruthless? How can you not investigate the matter well, and then convict the Cheng'en Mansion and convict me and Rui'er? ”

Rong Fang is the old man next to Ye Qingxin, to be precise, in the early years of the Chengen Mansion, he served by Ye Qingxin's side, when Ye Qingxin was sealed, Rong Fang was ordered to take charge of the affairs of Ye Qingxin's palace.

It's a well-deserved aunt in charge. The master was deposed as the queen, and the people serving in the palace were reassigned by the Internal Affairs Office, but Rong Fang didn't think about it, and directly kowtowed to Luo Fuhai, the eunuch who passed the decree, indicating that he was willing to go to the cold palace to serve the master.

Luo Fuhai didn't dare to make up his mind privately, so he had to report this matter to Emperor Yongkang, and then Rong Fang helped Ye Qingxin to leave Qifeng Palace, and the master and servant lived in the cold palace.

"Master, you don't have good bones, don't think about those things!"

Rong Fang wiped the corners of her eyes and persuaded in a dumb voice: "Even if you don't think about yourself right now, you should think about Your Highness, if you have a case, the slave really doesn't dare to think about what Your Highness will do in the future." ”

"The future? Does my Rui'er have a future? ”

Ye Qingxin's hoarse voice sounded more and more desolate: "That's it, with my current situation...... What's the use of wanting more? I can't save the Ye family, I can't save anyone......"

Do you hate that person?

No, she doesn't hate, she only hates herself for seeing the wrong person, she only hates her wrong intentions, and she only hates herself for marrying into the royal family, thus burying hidden dangers for her mother's family...... Bring trouble to your loved ones...... Since childhood, I have been familiar with poetry and books, classics and historical classics, and I know what kind of risks I will face if I marry into the royal family, but I don't like that person, thinking that he will be different, what is the result?

Since ancient times, the emperor has been affectionate, and there has been no accident in that person...... Just because of suspicion, because of some unwarranted letters, all the love over the years disappeared in an instant.

After the abolition, she doesn't care about the posterior, and her son Ye Qingxin doesn't care if he can be the prince, what she cares about is the safety of her relatives.

It's so ruthless!

The men of the Ye family, regardless of age, were convicted and beheaded, and the female dependents of the Ye family were either sold into slavery, sent to the sect department, or ...... Or send it to the Red Tent in the Army...... Who is he insulting?

Thinking of her grandmother's advanced age, and thinking that her mother was over half a hundred years old, but she was going to be sold into slavery, Ye Qingxin's heart hurt like a knife.

The sister-in-law and the elder brother have a very good relationship, the second brother and sister and the second brother are also very affectionate, and if something happens to the Ye family, these two will definitely not choose to abandon their husbands and children and return to their parents' homes, so ...... So what will they face?

Red Tent in the Army or Workshop Division?

And then there is, her niece and little sister, they are at the age of flowers, will they be ruined because of family changes?

"Master...... Maybe...... Maybe the emperor will retract his previous will......"

"Is it possible?"

"After all, you and the emperor have had a relationship for many years......"

"Don't say it, I don't want to hear that."

Years of affection?

There used to be, but from the moment the man ruthlessly refused to listen to her self-defense, and gave her wills one after another, her feelings for him became a complete joke, and now, how can he retract that will? Don't get up to hope, she doesn't have the slightest hope!

Feelings no longer exist, she doesn't want her dignity and pride to be trampled on again, she will not have unrealistic hopes!

"Master, someone's coming!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Rong Fang immediately wiped the corners of his eyes, reminded Ye Qingxin, and then stood at the table with a blank expression.

"Sinner Ye, the noble concubine has come to see you!"

Wang Donglai pushed open the dilapidated palace door, raised his voice and said, "Why don't you hurry up and kneel down to welcome the concubine?" ”

didn't hear any movement in the house, Wang Donglai wanted to get angry, but Cen Guifei raised his hand to stop him, waved his hand again, and signaled Wang Donglai to wait outside the door, and then, Cen Guifei walked into the palace door alone.

"Go out, this palace wants to stay alone with the Ye family for a while."

Sweeping her eyes at Rongfang, Cen Guifei looked at the other family who was dressed plainly, but her bearing still maintained the dignity of the queen, squatting on the couch, she curled the corners of her lips, and a smile lingered in her beautiful eyes: "Is it very unexpected that I appeared?" ”

Ye Qingxin's expression was faint and did not answer what Cen Guifei said.

"Would you like to hear good news?"

Cen Guifei was not angry, the smile in her beautiful eyes did not diminish at all, but what responded to her was still silent.

didn't see the slightest emotional change on Ye Qingxin's face, Cen Guifei was extremely angry in her heart, but she didn't want to mess up in front of her rival, so she couldn't help suppressing her heart and said to herself:

"I'm here to congratulate you, at three o'clock in the afternoon, when the man of the Ye family was about to be beheaded, Luo Fuhai arrived in time with the emperor's holy decree, it is said that the emperor sent the case of your Ye family back to Dali Temple for retrial, happy, right?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxin's deathly heart lake made waves uncontrollably, but there were still no emotional ups and downs on her face.

"Glad isn't it?"

Cen Guifei approached Ye Qingxin, and suddenly the smile in her eyes was replaced by mockery: "But what to do?" I'm upset and I'm not happy, guess what I'm going to do? ”

Ye Qingxin's heartstrings tightened, staring at Cen Guifei with cold eyes, and she heard the other party say: "No matter if there is no doubt about the case of the Ye family, I will not let it be retried!" Ye's, it's time for me to sit in the back seat, you and Ye's don't want to turn over, do you hear? With me here, don't expect Dali Temple to retry the case of the Ye family! ”

Ye Qingxin remained silent: "If the concubine Niangniang is really so capable, just follow your ideas." ”

has shared the bed with that person for many years, except for the recent years when he has been more suspicious and sick, in political affairs, he is not a man who can be bluffed at will, let alone a man with soft ears and can be swayed by the wind on the pillow at will.

As for the case of the Ye family, the main reason is that the emperor is suspicious and jealous of the Ye family, in such a situation, in the face of those so-called evidence, he lost his mind and convicted the Ye family and her young prince.

If there is no retrial of the case, she believes that the rebellion case of the Ye family will be called a big unjust case by later generations in the history of Great Xia, but this ...... But that shouldn't be enough to negate the man's achievements during his reign.

One yard is one yard, Ye Qingxin will not be deposed because she and the crown prince were deposed, and she will not deny the changes brought to the country by the decrees implemented by Emperor Yongkang since he ascended the throne because of the injustice of his mother.

"Ye, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me? ”

grabbed Ye Qingxin's jaw, Cen Guifei's eyes were cold, and she looked at Ye Qingxin fixedly: "Let me tell you, you are now the sinner Ye family, not the queen who is high, by the way, I advise you again, don't have too much hope for the emperor, otherwise, I'm afraid that when your hopes are disappointed, you won't be able to continue to live in this cold palace!" ”

Withdrawing her hand, Cen Guifei smiled: "By the way, the emperor intends to canonize me as the queen and my emperor as the crown prince, don't congratulate our mother and son, but I should thank you and your unlucky son to make room for our mother and son, but if I want to say thank you to you, it's impossible." ”

Turning around, Cen Guifei walked to the door: "Ye family, if I were you, I would have died on the day I was deposed, maybe the emperor would be moved, and he would think that you were not involved in the case of the Ye family." ”

Leaving such a fluttering sentence, Cen Guifei let out a pleasant chuckle from her mouth, and walked out of the cold palace with Wang Donglai.

"Master......"

Looking at the pinch marks on Ye Qingxin's chin, Rong Fang was so distressed that she burst into tears. Ye Qingxin shook her head: "It's okay, don't cry." ”

After a slight pause, the sadness between her eyebrows and eyes faded by two points: "The male of the Ye family has not been asked, this is a happy thing." ”

The tears in Rong Fang's eyes couldn't help but fall: "But if the concubine and the third prince get in the way, the Dali Temple may not go well." ”

"Did you hear it all?"

Ye Qingxin asked.

Rong Fang nodded "um" and said, "If it weren't for the master, you signaled me to go out, I wouldn't have left you half a step anyway." ”

Ye Qingxin was moved: "Today is different from the past, if you didn't wait outside just now, where would you stand in front of me?!" ”

Not to mention in this cold palace, but in other places in the palace, it is normal for a dead person to die.

"Slaves are not afraid of death!"

Rong Fang's tone was firm, looking at her, Ye Qingxin sighed: "I know, but if you are gone, I won't be able to live for a few days." ”

Without Rong Fang by her side to take care of her, it is estimated that it will not take long for the illness that was born in the cold palace alone to take her life.

"Master, let's stop saying these frustrating words, the slave wants to know one thing most now......"

Rong Fang twisted his eyebrows, and said while thinking: "What made the emperor change his mind, leave the life of our Ye family in time today, and send that case back to Dali Temple."

Examine? ”

Ye Qingxin's voice was light: "I also want to know, but it is worth being happy that the case can be remanded back to Dali Temple for retrial." ”

Rong Fang nodded again and again: "Master, what you said is right, as long as Dali Temple retries the case, the slave believes that the grievances borne by our Ye family will definitely be cleared!" ”

"I hope so."

Who could it be?

Who could have made that person issue a decree in time, save the lives of her relatives, and send the case back to Dali Temple for retrial?

Ye Qingxin frowned and thought quietly. The words spoken by the emperor and the will issued by the emperor are undoubtedly golden words, which cannot be changed at will, so as not to lose the prestige of the emperor.

Because of knowing this, Ye Qingxin still can't think of which advice made the ruthless and cold-blooded emperor change his mind?

The Ye family, who was imprisoned in prison, thought the same as Ye Qingxin at this time, wondering why Emperor Yongkang changed his mind and sent the case of the Ye family back to Dali Temple for retrial.

"Dad, what do you think of today's events?"

On the male prisoner's side, Ye Qingcheng asked his father through the prison door, and when he heard this, Mrs. Ye shook his head.

"Could it have something to do with the eldest sister?"

Ye Qingming, his elder brother Ye Qingcheng and his younger brother Ye Qingfeng were locked in a cell, and when he heard the conversation between his eldest brother and his father, he couldn't help but murmur.

"Your eldest sister's situation is not much better than ours now, it shouldn't have anything to do with her."

Mrs. Ye sat against the wall on a pile of straw, his eyes, which had lost their brilliance, looked extremely wise at this moment, he sighed lightly and said, "No matter who helps, in short, it is a good thing that our Ye family's case can take a turn for the better now." ”

Ye Qingfeng expressed his opinion at this time: "Could it be related to the second sister?" ”

Ye Qingming immediately denied: "Your second sister is in the back house, even if she has a heart, she has no power to change anything." ”

Mrs. Ye opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed his eyes and swallowed the words back into his stomach.

He didn't know how to speak, did he want to tell his three sons, your second sister's current condition is not good, and it is very likely that she will be abandoned by her husband's family......

In Mrs. Ye's heart, the second daughter is the most gentle, however, what he saw in the vegetable market today, he found that this daughter has changed, become tough, and become unyielding, which he saw from his eyes.

At that moment, he was relieved to see that his daughter was strong, even if she had been abandoned by her husband's family, but as long as the silly girl was strong enough, she would definitely be able to raise her three young children, and even if his Ye family did not break the incense.

Mrs. Ye thought thoroughly, with the case committed by the Ye family, in order to protect himself, the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion couldn't tolerate his daughter and grandson, and what he saw today almost confirmed his guess.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Ye was not dissatisfied with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, after all, everyone has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and if something happened to the Ye family, he did not choose the ** means of the back house to let his daughter die violently, so that his grandchildren died young, which shows that there is still room for doing things.

Women's Prison.

The ladies of the Ye Mansion sat together against the wall, and learned that the gentlemen of the mansion had been escorted to the vegetable market to be beheaded, but they were escorted back to the prison again, and the emperor decreed that the case in the house was sent back to Dali Temple for retrial, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the case in our house has taken a turn for the better."

Ye Cuishi is Mrs. Ye's wife, her temples are slightly gray, she sits next to Mrs. Ye against the wall, and whispers: "Mother, if you hold on for a few more days, maybe we will be able to get out of this prison soon." ”

Mrs. Ye was full of silver hair, and she was originally closing her eyes to recuperate, but when she heard what her daughter-in-law said, she slowly opened her eyes: "The old body is fine." ”

Living to her age, what wind and waves have you never seen?

This time the Ye family suffered, because the emperor wanted to punish the crime, and asked the Ye family to disappear in the capital, as courtiers, as the family members of the courtiers, what else could they do except for the guilt?

Now, the situation has taken a turn for the better, I hope this turn is a real turnaround, it can clear up the grievances of the Ye family, and it can return justice to the Ye family, instead of giving hope, but in the end it is still disappointed.

The jailers who took care of the Ye family's criminals, some of them whispered at this time, and some were afraid, glad that they didn't stretch out their hands to the female relatives of the Ye family and do such a pickled thing, otherwise, if the case of the Ye family was overturned, they would definitely not have a good result.

"Lao Li, thank you!"

A jailer with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes looked at the old jailer beside him with great flattery: "If you hadn't stopped me in time last night, I'm afraid I would have died a miserable death in the coming day." ”

The old jailer's surname is Li Minggui, who once received the favor of Ye Qingming, in order to prevent the female dependents of the Ye family from being ruined in prison, he has been patrolling the women's prison in recent days, and last night he happened to meet the jailer scum who used to spoil female prisoners in front of him and wanted to forcibly take away the benefactor's little sister, the third lady of the original Chengen Mansion, who kicked her at that time and scolded people away.

"Now you know you're scared? I said Wang Er, if you don't change your stinky problem, sooner or later your head will move. ”

Li Gui glanced at the jailer Wang Er, and when he saw that the other party nodded his head again and again, Fang said: "Don't talk about the side, just talk about the contributions made by Mrs. Ye and a few Lord Ye to our Great Xia, if you have a little humanity, you will not fall into the trap for other people's daughters at this time."

What's more, the world is impermanent, as the former ruler and the emperor's teacher, until the last moment, who can ensure that the case has no possibility of overturning? ”

"What you taught me is that I promise not to mess around in the future."

"You don't have to promise me anything, like the kind of thing you did last night, we're not the only one here, you're just learning from the same, I just want to tell you, when you do that kind of thing, first touch your conscience, and then think about it, if it's like this, you still have to continue to do your own thing, then all I said today is fart."

Not far from the two of them, several other jailers gathered.

"It seems that the emperor intends to overturn the case for the Ye family!"

"I didn't believe the case was real in the first place."

"It's not a letter as evidence."

"Are you stupid to not know that letters can be forged?"
