Chapter 500: Was it You Who Killed the Princess?

e dashed down the bridal sedan, stumbling into the mansion, just as she saw the beloved Sixth Prince, whom she had yearned for years, leading the bride's hand, step by step into the wedding hall.Yè Wē...All eyes in the courtyard turned to Ye Wenyan. Mu shi lowered her voice and asked her, "Yan'er, what happened"Ye Wenyan shook her head. "I don't know. When I came back, she was fine and still talking nonsense with Lord Chi. How could she suddenly die" She asked the doorman, "Who told you"The doorman quickly stepped aside, letting out a government official behind him. 。The officer immediately bowed to Ye Wenyan and then lowered his voice, "Miss Si is right, the princess has been insane in the palace all along." 。The magistrate and Minister Jiang took turns interrogating her, but they couldn't figure out what was going on. She wouldn't say anything, only constantly cursing the Northern Qi. 。She cursed and cursed, and suddenly blood gushed from her nose and mouth, black as ink, flowing out in thick spurts. In just a short while, she breathed her last, without even waiting for the imperial physician to arrive. 。The magistrate told me to come here quickly and tell the Fourth Miss. The Fourth Miss should mentally prepare herself, because this matter is likely to be used against her. 。“The black blood from the nose and mouth indicates poisoning. Did the Princess Consort poison herself”The official shook his head. “No, because when she died, she kept saying someone had harmed her, she even... pointed at Fourth Miss.” 。" That's malicious framing. " 。"The young girl took over, saying, 'It's possible she poisoned herself and then, at the last minute, framed our young mistress.'" 。She can't run from the consequences of betraying us. Even if she survives, her life won't be as luxurious as before. So she might think that living is worse than dying, and it would be better to take poison herself and then frame our young mistress. 。" The more Yue'er talked, the more she felt like this was the case. "Just like that incident with the child falling into the water, wasn't it someone from the Chang Princess's Mansion who pushed him in And then they said my young mistress was the murderer..." 。If it weren't for that child still being alive, my mistress wouldn't be able to tell this story even if she had a mouth full of teeth. 。"Since that's the case..." She glanced at Ye Wenyan and whispered, "Miss, is the only way to clear our suspicions to let the Empress Dowager live But if she's determined to harm you, wouldn't it be pointless even if she lives"

Ye Wenyan nodded. Indeed, if the Empress Dowager had truly committed suicide by poisoning herself, then she was determined to pin the blame on her. 。Even if she saves people, it won't make any difference. They will still refuse to change their minds. 。Besides, she's just a person from the Xuanmai Night family after all. Xuanmai is not comparable to Lingmai. She hasn't reached the point where she can truly bring people back to life, flesh and bones. 。Unless the princess died in front of her, and her soul hadn't left her body for too long, she could use magic to capture the soul and then send it back into her original body. 。The Princess could not have died before her eyes. Having gone back and forth, by the time she arrived everyone was dead, where would she find their souls 。The Crown Princess was unlike the original Ye Si Miss. She shared a body with Ye Si Miss, so she could communicate with the original soul before the seventh day. 。But the elder princess couldn't help. There was no connection between her and the situation, and her obsession wasn't there either. She was powerless. 。"How would the two esteemed officials put it" she asked the officer, "Have you found the murderer" The officer nodded. "We are investigating, the princess's mansion has been sealed off, and we have also sent people to various official residences..." 。Last night, all the guests who attended the banquet were to be searched individually, regardless of their status. 。

This is just one who went all the way to the General's Mansion, and hasn't heard anything conclusive yet.

Miss Four, please keep this matter in mind. Later, an official may come to inquire about it as a routine procedure. 。The magistrate said, "The officials in Lin'an Prefecture are definitely on the fourth young lady's side and would never believe that she used such methods to kill the princess." 。Lord Jiang also asked me to convey his message, that the Ministry of Justice has been keeping close company with the fourth Miss, but I don't know how the other government offices will react. 。Hearing this, Ye Xing finally understood. 。The crown princess is dead, and she was poisoned. Now Ye Wenyan has become the prime suspect, and the officials are coming to question him soon!He began to get excited, and at the same time rebuked the officer: "What do you mean by the Lin'an Prefecture standing on her side The Lin'an Prefecture is the parent official of all the people in our Lin'an City. As the prefect, Chi Hongfang should be fair and just. How can he show favoritism and violate the law Before things are clear, he starts taking sides, and he stands on the side of the suspect. He's a really good parent official!"He spoke more and more vehemently, "Last night at the crown princess's birthday banquet, although I didn't go to celebrate, my daughter did..." 。After you return, tell me everything that happened at the princess's manor. 。So many eyes were watching, from beginning to end she had been against the Crown Princess, even hitting and choking her. The Crown Princess even has marks on her neck from being choked by her! So why should Chi Hongfang believe her Even a fool could see that she was the one who killed her! Does this even need an investigation She should be arrested immediately and thrown into the county jail! He spoke loudly, with the air of righteous indignation. 。Ye Chu Lian couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "Fourth Sister would never murder anyone! Besides, if she wanted to kill the Crown Princess, she would have just done it directly. Why bother with poison Father said that Fourth Sister is highly suspect, and since it's so obvious, why would she resort to poisoning the Crown Princess instead of simply killing her openly What purpose does this poison serve" Ye Fei Yu nodded in agreement, also saying, "Our family always does things openly and honestly. There's no need for secrecy..." 。“

Mu walked forward and stood directly in front of Ye Jian's gaze, blocking the hostility directed at Ye Wenyan. She said coldly: “As your nephew, you should know that the official court hasn't declared Yan'er's guilt. Why are you so eager to send your niece to the guillotine Besides, the Empress Dowager is a remnant of the Qiuhu rebellion and has kept many Qiuhu people in her mansion for years. That is clearly an attempt at treason” 。"Don't say Yan'er didn't kill her, even if she did, it was for the benefit of the people and for the Northern Qi to strike down the enemy! In short, she is innocent!" "Innocence or guilt isn't up to you to decide!" Ye Sheng snorted coldly, "The Princess is a member of the royal family, the emperor's own daughter" 。She, even if guilty, is not someone for a lowly female servant to punish. 。She did this, disregarding the laws of the Northern Qi and the royal family! This is an abuse of private power, a murder of royalty! She deserves to be punished! She should die!" The messenger officer who came to report was dumbfounded. He looked at Ye Ye Sheng with a bewildered expression. He couldn't understand for the life of him what deep grudge the Second Master Ye had against his own niece that he was trying to kill her off like this! What's more—If the Fourth Miss really did what the Second Master said, and committed the crime of murdering royalty, then it wouldn't be just her who would die, but your entire Ye family! Even if the Ye family has a distinguished military record, the punishment of extermination cannot be escaped. 。"Brother Sheng! Brother Sheng, calm down!" Chang Xueqiao heard this and quickly advised Ye Jingheng, "Things haven't been investigated clearly yet, Brother Sheng, don't get angry first." 。“Then to the official, he said, 'My friend is joking. Our master was just overwhelmed with grief at the passing of the princess, so his words were a bit harsh.'” 。Miss Fourth is a member of our household, and naturally we hope for her well-being. 。Of course, a family should share in both prosperity and adversity. If this wasn't done by the fourth young lady, we will even sue the authorities to seek justice for our children. 。If it was truly Miss Four's doing, then we would certainly not cover for her. 。“ Although I'm angry, we should still think about the fourth young lady,” she said, taking Ye Jing’s arm. 。"

Ye Wang took a deep breath and looked at Ye Wenyan, "What's there to think about Everyone in the city saw what happened at last night's banquet. If it wasn't her who did it, who would believe it The Crown Princess was the Emperor's beloved daughter. She had been married to Qiu Hu since she was young. The Emperor had always mentioned this matter for many years, saying that he owed his eldest daughter..." 。He also said that if it were possible in the future, he would be willing to use every means to compensate. No matter how big a mistake the princess made, he could forgive her. 。He pointed at Ye Wenyan, “Listen to you, even the late emperor said he could forgive you, why can’t you forgive” Ye Wenyan curled his lips and looked at him, his eyes becoming increasingly cold. 。"Is this you convicting me as the murderer Fine, then I'll confess to the crime! And execute the entire family, how about that My dear Second Uncle, just think about it, exterminate the nine clans!" Nightingale Sheng shuddered involuntarily. At this moment, Night Wenyan's previous words suddenly echoed in her mind again... 。She said she didn't know his last name, she said he was a bastard. 。Yes, wild species, wild species are not the Night House's species. 。He is no longer of the Ye family, so what does it have to do with him that the Nine Clans are being exterminated

Nightingale laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Just exterminate the Nine Clans! As long as you're willing to risk it, what am I afraid of"

Ye Wenyan also smiled, “Yes, you’re not one of our Ye family, so what are you afraid of So before we exterminate these Nine Clans, let's first clean up the household, drive out everyone who shouldn't be in the Ye family, and then close the door and destroy the clan.”

“

Her words made Mu shi's heart churn, she couldn't help but look at her daughter a few more times, but she couldn't tell what was going on.

Instead, Ye Chu Lian walked to Ye Wen's side and said loudly, “I’m not afraid of being implicated. I was born as a member of the Ye family and will die as a ghost of the Ye family. No matter what surname my father loves, I am simply surnamed Ye.” 。After finishing, he also pulled Aunt Liu's hand and said, "My aunt and I share the same surname." 。" Night view cold snort, "Good, you want to die, I will naturally fulfill." 。Why not follow that little beast, Ye Fei Zhou's example, and change your household registration to enter the main house As for you—" he glanced at Liu Shi, — "how do you count As a concubine returning to her home by night Yes, that's how it should be. Only then can you continue to be part of the Ye family. 。Otherwise, you'll be a lonely ghost with nowhere to go. 。“He laughed heartily, thinking his scheme was brilliant. He told the official, “Go back to your office quickly and change my daughter’s household registration. From now on, she will be a member of the first wife’s family and the daughter of Mu Qianqiu and Ye Jingui.” 。And I, this concubine of yours, I too wish to be rid of this status. Remove my name from your household registry and record it under the name of Ye Wang instead. 。From then on, she would be the concubine who returns home at night!”re overjoyed to see her willing to eat, and they eagerly served her dishes. 。The breakfast service was so elaborate, it felt like being served by a court official. Ye Chu Lian felt quite embarrassed....
