Chapter 29: Reclaiming the Dowry

After the last half of the sentence was finished, she raised her eyes, looked at the emperor with clear eyes, and her voice was loud.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and he was still thinking about how the matter should end, when he heard her talk about the dowry.

How is this about the dowry again?

"What happened to the eldest princess's dowry?" The emperor's voice was much calmer, and his eyes were calm and cold, and he glanced at Ye Shuhua.

"According to the laws of China, after the death of the mother, all the dowry should belong to the children, and the mother's dowry should belong to the courtiers, but Lord Ye and Mrs. Ye want to take all the dowry of the mother and keep it for their own use!"

"The courtiers have not had a mother to take care of them since they were children, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Lord Ye, the father, has no. He doesn't love his courtiers, and even says that he hates them, and the courtiers know that it is their own name that makes him disgusted, but the courtiers are so wrong, and the courtiers don't want to live against the stars. ”

Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up, like beads with broken threads, falling down one by one.

She was already thin, and under the background of a plain white dress, she was even more slender and weak, but now she was crying into tears, and hearing what she just said made people feel distressed.

Ye Shuhua sobbed and wiped her tears and said: "The courtiers don't blame Lord Ye, and they don't blame him, so they are willing to live in the Ye Mansion with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, but the courtiers are a woman, even if they have the title of Qingya County Lord, what they can rely on is their mother's dowry." ”

"The courtiers don't ask for anything else, but only implore the emperor to be the master of the courtiers and ask for the dowry back!"

In the end, Ye Shuhua kowtowed directly, and at this time she was already crying silently.

Li Su looked at the situation in front of him, thought of the scene he saw when he entered Huating Garden, and took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister went to call the county lord, he happened to see Mrs. Ye moving things from the county lord's courtyard, and it was written on the box that it was the dowry of the eldest princess. ”

Ye Shuhua was secretly happy while wiping her tears.

Li Su is really fair, and what he sees and hears will be said word for word.

When Ye Shuhua heard this, her tears surged again, pretending to be weak and pitiful to win sympathy, which was vividly interpreted by her.

They thought they could let her die just by virtue of today's events?

They underestimated her.

Now she not only has to leave unscathed, but she also has to take the opportunity to get the dowry back.

In fact, she knew Ye Shuyu's plan last night, so she came up with this plan.

After all, with her understanding of Ye Shuyu and Ye Gong's family, it is probably impossible for them to spit out all the dowries they have eaten.

It just so happened that Ye Shuyu began to play tricks, so she calculated the plan, and used the special potion brought out by the bamboo shadow from the Xiuchun Pavilion to erase the line of words, and wrote the eight words of Zhu Guo.

As for this album, when Ye Shuyu was asleep at night, Bamboo Shadow sneaked in quietly and treated it with two different potions.

The potion had already been invalidated when Ye Zhao entered the palace, and the words that cursed the royal family would automatically disappear, while the eight words of Zhu Guo would appear at the same time.

But cursing the royal family is not trivial, she naturally can't treat others in her own way, after all, they are all surnamed Ye, and Ye Zhao and others can escape if she has an accident.

Ye Zhao and they have this incident, and she may not be able to escape from it.

In addition, Ye Shuyu is smarter than Ye Gong's and knows about the destruction of corpses, and she does not have any substantive evidence to indicate it.

Rather than bother to testify against her, it is better to say that no one curses the royal family, and it is easy for them to devise a ploy to seize their mother's dowry.

's mother is the eldest princess, the emperor's sister, and the dowry is the emperor's face.

Ignoring imperial power is a felony!

After hearing Ye Shuhua's words, the emperor was furious in his heart, and he raised his hand to slap the case.

"Usurping the dowry, Ye Zhao, as an important minister in the court, you dare to do such a thing!"

Is he sincere in trying to sweep his face?

As soon as Ye Zhao heard this, he was immediately so frightened that he fell to the ground, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

The eldest princess's dowry they have been occupying is not unaware, and he has long thought that those dowries are his own.

But what this matter has to do with the dowry today, he really doesn't know.

Yu'er only heard the rumors, and was afraid of affecting the Ye family, so she handed over the album to herself, so that she could kill her relatives to protect the Ye family.

But now, whether it has anything to do with it or not, he can't even covet half of the eldest princess's dowry!

Ye Zhao has been a courtier for more than ten years, so he quickly adjusted his mood, stabilized his mind, raised his head, and said in an extremely sincere tone.

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't have it, even if they give the ministers ten brave ministers, they don't dare. Come to think of it, it must be something that the cheap man did privately, which is why he made such a joke. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head again, with a look of remorse on his face, but his eyes were dripping, and he said, "Hua'er, I really don't know if I am a father." But don't worry, when you go back, your father will definitely reprimand the slut and ask her to return the dowry in full. ”

"Haha, it turned out to be an oolong scene here, so it's easy to do. Cousin Shuhua, don't cry, with your father and emperor, the dowry of the eldest aunt will definitely be yours. Seeing this, the prince hurriedly spoke.

An oolong scene, a direct pun, not only refers to the cursing of the royal family, but also refers to Ye Zhao and his wife framing Ye Shuhua for snatching the dowry.

The emperor glanced at the crown prince, and his eyes were full of anger, and he finally felt a little relieved.

It's a very difficult thing to deal with today.

Whether the curse of the royal family is true or not, Ye Zhao is suspected of framing Ye Shuhua by slandering the royal family, and furthermore, it is revealed that Ye Zhao has occupied the dowry of the eldest princess.

This is a royal face, and it is not trivial.

One sentence of oolong, but it directly weakened these two tricky things.

It is naturally much more convenient for the emperor to deal with it, it will not damage the royal face, even if it is for Ye Shuhua, it will not let Ye Zhao be punished too heavily.

The emperor sighed secretly, what kind of staff did he, the prince, recruit, not do much, and he actually caused trouble for him every day!

He, who is the emperor, has to wipe his ass!

is angry, his heart is still biased towards the prince.

Looking at Ye Shuhua's expression softened a lot, and said: "Yes, Hua'er, don't cry, I am the master for you, these dowries are all yours, I have spoken, no one dares to listen!" ”

Ye Shuhua stopped her tears at the moment, what she wanted was the emperor's message.

After that, she wiped away her tears and took advantage of the situation, did not debunk the oolong thing that the prince said, and directly thanked the emperor.

"It's just that I don't know how many courtiers my mother's dowry is, and the dowry list was also lost by Mrs. Ye......

Ye Shuhua continued to choke, and her voice also had a unique fine tone after crying, which sounded both aggrieved and weak.

Seeing that she did not insist on lifting the fig leaf, the emperor was a person who knew the times, and his good impression of her increased again, and he pitied her even more.

Hearing this, he knew that it must have been deliberately said by the Ye Gong clan to lose it, but he didn't want to hand over all the dowry.

It's not that the emperor is not angry about this matter today, but he doesn't care about it because he sees the prince's face and Ye Zhao is an important minister in the court, and he doesn't want to punish him.

But in the end, he was treated as a monkey for a day in this whole thing today.

The anger that should be sent is still to be issued, and the punishment that should be given is no less!

"You don't have to worry about the dowry list, Hua'er, the eldest princess's dowry list was drawn up by someone who was ordered by me, and there is naturally a copy in the palace!"

The emperor was stern and continued: "You can go back to Ye Mansion with peace of mind, and the dowry list and the oracle will arrive later!" With my command, if you want to come to the Ye Gong clan, you don't dare to steal the beams and change the pillars, and you won't pay back the dowry! Do you say yes, Lord Ye! ”

The emperor's tone was obviously gloomy, and Ye Zhao was busy kowtowing.

The emperor only has one sister, the eldest princess, and they have had a very good relationship since childhood, and the emperor also loves this sister very much.

Even if he is partial to the prince in his heart now, helping Ye Zhao, it is impossible for him to take the dowry of the eldest princess, let alone not punish him at all.

Not only for the royal face, but also for his love for the royal sister.

"As for the Ye Gong clan occupying the eldest princess's dowry, you, Ye Zhao connived at the Ye Gong clan's behavior, and they should be beheaded according to the law!" The emperor pointed at Ye Zhao and said angrily.

Suddenly, Ye Zhao trembled with fright, and his heart trembled violently.

"Father......" The prince frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to intercede.

The emperor glanced at him and told him to shut up.

Then he spoke slowly, "But if you don't know the reason, the Ye Gong clan deliberately offended the emperor's authority, so you will be spared." But the living crime is inescapable, you and the Ye Gong clan will be punished with forty boards each, punished for three years, and will not be allowed to go to court for seven days after thinking behind closed doors! In the past few days, you have been at home to reflect on what is a father and what is a minister! ”

The emperor originally wanted to punish him for closing his door for a month, but he thought that he would have to discuss the expenses of the visiting envoys of the Li State recently, so he changed his words for seven days.

Ye Zhao's forehead broke out with cold sweat layer after layer, and he was relieved to hear the final punishment.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, the emperor is generous."

Yu Zhenguo was watching the play from beginning to end, and his eyes fell on Ye Shuhua from time to time.

The luster at the bottom of his eyes deepened a little, and he was completely impressed by this Ye Shuhua.

She was not at all the cowardly and stupid appearance she had heard before, with the scheming courage in her heart, her unflinching posture in the face of danger, and her composure beyond ordinary people, as well as her observation and speculation about the Sacred Heart.

Far beyond the average man.

Even his grandson Yu Jingtian, who has been cultivated with his heart, may not have her calm determination and courage in the face of this situation.

It is worthy of the blood of the eldest princess.

Yu Zhenguo sighed secretly and began to feel pity and appreciation for her.

It was mid-afternoon, and the sun was still hanging high.

Ye Mansion, Hua Ting Yuan.

Zhuying and Ji Cui were both blocked at the door, and Ye Shuyu's things that had just moved into the courtyard were now staggered and thrown outside the courtyard.

And the dowry of the eldest princess, who Ye Gong was ordering to move, was also stopped at the gate of the courtyard in time.

"You, it's really against you! Dare to throw Yu'er's things, dare to stop me, the housewife! Do you really think that your master can come back safe and sound? ”

Ye Gong's hands were crossed on his hips, and he shouted with his fingers, his eyes were full of pride, "Let me tell you, she can't come back, even if she comes back, she will be a waste, and she will no longer be a county lord!" ”

She raised her hand and pointed at Zhuying and Ji Cui's noses, and said viciously: "You, and you, when the time comes, I will cripple you and sell them all to the kiln, see if you dare to be arrogant again!" ”

Ye Shuyu on the side stood behind Ye Gong's family, her own things were thrown everywhere, naturally she was very annoyed, but what was even more strange was the behavior of the two maids in front of her.
