"In that case, please ask Mr. Li to take me to the imperial court. I want to sue Fang Xu for instigating my father to harm me." Ye Shuhua said weakly.

Li Sum was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

There are laws in front of it, and the identity of the princess is also here. Fang Xu's behavior of murdering the princess can be known just by looking at the horrific wounds on the princess's body.

Every wound was aimed at killing the princess.

He had no reason not to agree.

Besides, since he came with Yin Zixun, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

Fang Xuxu saw that it was Li Su, the young minister of Dali Temple, again, and he would never let him ruin his good deeds this time.

"Master Li, this is the emperor's order for Master Ye to teach the princess a lesson. I am just following along. There is no such thing as instigating murder! Besides, this is a family matter and an emperor's order! Don't you think you can disobey the order?"

"Disobedience? Mr. Li saw with his own eyes that you intended to murder the princess under the guise of Mr. Ye. I also saw clearly that these secret guards were acting under your orders in that attack just now. The evidence is conclusive. Mr. Li just followed your orders.

When doing things according to the law, where is the disobedience? Do you think Mr. Li is disobeying the law when he acts according to the law? You are questioning the law and the imperial power!"

Yin Zixun had already sat back on the wheelchair, his eyes were cold and piercing, stabbing straight at him.

There seemed to be countless cold arrows hitting his eyebrows, which sent a chill down his back.

This was the first time that Fang Xu saw someone with such a terrifying look in his eyes.

The cold aura made him take half a step back unconsciously.

But the other party is obviously just a weak man sitting in a wheelchair, how can he feel such a strong sense of oppression?

Looking away, Fang Xu frowned and questioned the imperial power. This was a serious crime and he naturally could not admit it.

His eyes were visibly panicked, and then he saw Ye Zhao, his eyes flashed, and he quickly argued: "I didn't murder her, the princess was beaten like this only because Lord Ye hated her so much, right?

?" He said the last sentence to Ye Zhao.

As long as Ye Zhao admits that it was his own intention to deal such a heavy blow to Ye Shuhua, then Ye Shuhua's accusation that he instigated Ye Zhao to murder her will not be established.

In this case, Li Su couldn't bring Ye Shuhua into the palace to meet the saint!

Ye Zhao looked at the situation in front of him and said nothing.

He didn't expect that his daughter would be able to move to Li Su, and what she just said was reasonable, and Li Su agreed.

Li Su was an official of the imperial court and was in the second rank. As long as he wanted to take Ye Shuhua away, neither he nor Fang Xu could stop him.

The corners of Ye Shuhua's lips twitched slightly. What she just said deliberately about Fang Xu instigating Ye Zhao was to manipulate Ye Zhao's selfish thoughts. She expected that he would not help Fang Xu in order to protect himself.

Ye Shuhua didn't want to talk too much nonsense, so she looked at Li Su again and said calmly: "Master Li, let's go."

Li Su saw the shocking wound on the princess's body and immediately understood it. He ordered the two guards following him to clear the way and escort the princess out of the house.

Ji Cui was waiting at the door early in the morning, with the carriage she had captured next to her.

She has been with the young lady for many years. Although the young lady's temperament has changed drastically now, she still understands the young lady.

As soon as she heard what the young lady told her, she naturally guessed what the young lady was thinking.

After getting on the carriage, Jicui, Zhuying and Jiuyu rode together, and Yin Zixun also accompanied them as a witness.

The carriage drove all the way towards the palace.

In the Ye Mansion, Fang Xu was so angry that he broke his teeth and glared at Ye Zhao fiercely. Ye Zhao knew that he was wrong for not being helpful just now and did not dare to look at him.

But in the situation just now, even if you help yourself, it won't help.

So she raised her eyebrows and shamelessly ignored his fierce eyes and said: "General Fang, let's go into the palace together quickly, otherwise, Ye Shuhua will have the final say on everything today."

Fang Xu was not completely angry and lost his mind, so he naturally knew that he wanted to enter the palace.

He retracted his anger, glanced at him sideways, and said teasingly: "You won't keep silent to protect yourself when the time comes, right?"

Ye Zhao smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, and hurriedly denied, "Of course not, you and I, we are the same."

"Humph, that's good if you know!"

Ye Zhao took refuge with the prince, and it was entirely due to Fang Xu's recommendation, otherwise the prince would not take him seriously.

He would not have been able to sit firmly in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and would have been replaced by the prince's favorite.

Inside the royal study.

Chief Assistant Yu Zhenguo, Minister of Rites Bai Weisheng, and several cabinet ministers Wei Xiang, Ji Chong, and Guo You are all here.

We were originally discussing the matter of sending an envoy from the neighboring country Li in a few months.

But I saw Li Su, the young minister of Dali Temple, bringing the princess Ye Shuhua to ask for an audience.

With the emperor's permission, all the adults stepped aside.

Looking towards the door, I saw Ye Shuhua wearing a lavender hooded cloak, being supported and walking slowly. As he moved, the white goose feathers on the brim of the hat trembled slightly.

The cloak had an inner collar, which tightly wrapped her whole body and neck.

When he got closer, he could see clearly that his thin and tender lips were bloodless, his complexion was as pale as frost, and his palm-sized face was almost made of skin and bones, with not much flesh on it.

His figure is even more slender, wrapped in a heavy cloak, as thin as a paper figure.

It seems that if you are not careful, you will be crushed by the cloak.

Yu Zhenguo frowned for a moment. He was present at the court this morning. She acted ridiculously and divorced her husband. Afterwards, the emperor only asked Master Ye to reprimand her.

But why did she become so weak?

Moreover, you can vaguely see blood stains under the cloak, especially on this side of his neck near the mandible, where you can also see a vicious centipede-like gash.

Yu Zhenguo didn't have much love for Ye Shuhua, but after all, she was the only bloodline of his most beloved granddaughter, the eldest princess.

He frowned and remained silent, waiting to see what happened.

Ye Shuhua endured the pain and knelt down with the support of Jicui and Zhuying. She slowly raised her arms, folded her hands and put them on her forehead to bow.

He put his hands on his sides and hit his head heavily on the floor.

This is a great ceremony in China, and it is only done when there are important sacrifices or when there are serious grievances and when people are dressed in white and bow to the saint.

Ye Shuhua gritted her teeth, endured the pain that was like ants biting her body, and spoke weakly.

"My daughter, Ye Shuhua, comes to see the emperor. My daughter wants to sue General Fang Xufang for instigating my father to murder my daughter!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor and the ministers present were shocked.

Although Ye Shuhua was not favored by the emperor because of her reputation as a evil star, she had royal blood flowing in her body after all, and she was the emperor's niece.

Murdering the princess is no small matter.

"Your Majesty, Sir Ye Zhaoye and General Fang Xufang are asking for an audience." came the sharp voice of the eunuch at the door.

The emperor's brows were furrowed and his face was slightly gloomy.

"Invite them in."

The atmosphere in the room was gloomy, and the emperor's displeasure was visible to the naked eye.

After Fang Xu entered the royal study, he hurriedly saluted and knelt down, shouting that he was wronged.

"Your Majesty, I am really unjust. I had no intention of murdering the princess. I went with Mr. Ye to the Ye Mansion just to persuade the princess to admit her mistake quickly so that she could be brought back to the other side.

Mansion.

But the princess refused to admit her mistake and even threatened me that she was done with it. Seeing this, Mr. Ye was furious and asked me why I borrowed the secret guard to teach the princess a lesson. I didn't do anything, please give me a clear warning."

"Yes, Your Majesty, my little daughter is naughty and refuses to admit her mistakes. She once threatened to drive me out of Ye's Mansion, saying that Ye's Mansion belongs to her, and even threw me and General Fang into a smelly pool. She is really naughty and vicious and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. So, I

That's why I struck harder." Ye Zhao also agreed.

Ye Shuhua remained silent, kneeling aside and waiting for them to finish.

The emperor's piercing eyes swept across the two of them, and then fell on Li Su who was standing aside.

He said in a deep voice: "Li Su, please tell me what is going on."

Li Su, dressed in official uniform, took a step forward, bowed his hands, and replied respectfully.

"Reporting to the emperor, I don't know the whole story, but after I followed the maid who asked for help from the princess to the Ye Mansion, I saw General Fang ordering a group of secret guards to hit the princess on the head.

With such a whip, the princess will definitely die, but the minister saved the princess in time, and the princess was able to save her life."

Li Su's speech was fair and clear, and he stated the facts truthfully, so that everyone could understand it as soon as he heard it.

What the princess sued was true.

Li Su's fairness and impartiality are naturally unshakable in the hearts of the court and the emperor. Fang Xu knows this better than anyone else.

As long as Li Su tells the truth, he will have no excuses.

But under this premise, Li Su is fair and equitable.

What if he isn't?

Although it is not a good idea to offend a young minister of Dali Temple, it is better than being accused of murdering the princess.

Even if he finally gets it, as long as there is no irrefutable proof, he still has options.

"Master Li, why do you insist on pressing harder and harder to make me tell you and the princess?"
