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

The emperor raised his eyebrows. He was still thinking about how to end this matter when he heard her talk about the dowry.

Why does this involve dowry again?

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

"Chinese laws state that after a mother's death, all her dowry should belong to her children, and the mother's dowry should belong to her daughter. But Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye want to take all the mother's dowry for themselves and keep it for their own use!"

"My daughter has not been cared for by her mother since she was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Ye has no father. He does not love my daughter, and even hates her. I also know that it is her evil reputation that makes him hate me.

, But what’s wrong with me, my daughter? I don’t want to live under the evil star.”

When she said this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up, like broken beads, falling continuously.

She was already thin, and she was even more slender and frail under the plain white dress. Now she was crying in tears, and after hearing what she just said, it made people feel sad to see her.

Ye Shuhua sobbed and wiped her tears and said: "My daughter does not blame Mr. Ye, nor does she blame him, so she is willing to live in the Ye Mansion with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. But I am a female stream, even if I have the title of Princess Qingya, I can rely on her

All I can rely on is my mother’s little dowry.”

"My daughter does not ask for anything else. I only ask the emperor to make the decision for my daughter and to get my dowry back!"

At the end of the speech, Ye Shuhua kowtowed directly. At this time, she was crying so much that she couldn't stop crying.

Li Su looked at the situation in front of him and thought of what he saw when he entered Huatingyuan. He took a step forward and said: "To report to the emperor, when I went to call the princess, I happened to see Mrs. Ye moving things from the princess's courtyard.

The box says it is the eldest princess’s dowry.”

Ye Shuhua wiped away tears and was secretly happy.

Li Su is indeed fair, and he will tell you every word he sees and hears.

When Ye Shuhua heard this, tears welled up again. She pretended to be weak and pitiful to win sympathy, and she performed it vividly.

Do they think they can let her die just because of what happened today?

They underestimated her too much.

Now she not only wants to escape unscathed, but also wants to take the opportunity to get her dowry back in an honest and fair manner.

In fact, she came up with this plan after learning about Ye Shuyu's plan last night.

After all, based on her understanding of Ye Shuyu and Ye Gongshi, it would probably be impossible for them to spit out all the dowries they had eaten.

Just in time, Ye Shuyu started to play dirty tricks, so she used the special potion that Zhu Ying brought from Xiuchun Pavilion to erase the line of words and wrote the eight words "Zhu Guo".

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

The potion had expired when Ye Zhao entered the palace, and the words cursing the royal family disappeared automatically, while the eight words "Zhu Guo" appeared at the same time.

But cursing the royal family is not a trivial matter. Naturally, she cannot retaliate against others. After all, they are all named Ye. Ye Zhao and others can escape if something happens to her.

If something happens to Ye Zhao and the others, she may not be able to escape her involvement.

In addition, Ye Shuyu is smarter than Ye Gongshi and knows how to destroy corpses and eliminate traces, but she does not have any substantial evidence to prove it.

Instead of trying to testify against her, it would be easier to just say that no one cursed the royal family and they were the ones who devised the plan to seize the mother's dowry.

The mother is the eldest princess and the emperor's biological sister, and the dowry is the emperor's face. Being taken over now means that the emperor's face has been lost, and at worst, it means ignoring the imperial power!

Ignoring the imperial authority is a serious crime!

After the emperor heard what Ye Shuhua said, his heart surged with anger, and he raised his hand and slapped the case.

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

Is he sincerely trying to disgrace him?

When Ye Zhao heard this, he was immediately frightened and fell to the ground, not daring to make a sound.

It was not that he didn't know that they had been occupying the eldest princess's dowry, and he had long thought that the dowry was his own.

But he really didn't know what today's matter had to do with the dowry matter.

Yu'er only heard the rumors and was afraid of hurting the Ye family, so she handed the album to her, asking her to kill the family in order to protect the Ye family.

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

After all, Ye Zhao had been a courtier for more than ten years. He quickly adjusted his mood, stabilized his mind, raised his head, and spoke in an extremely sincere tone.

"Your Majesty, if I don't have one, I wouldn't dare to do it even if I were given ten cowards. Come to think of it, it must be something that my humble wife did secretly, which is why such a joke happened."

As he said that, he turned his head again, with a look of repentance on his face, but his eyes rolled around, and said: "Hua'er, my father really doesn't know. But don't worry, my father will definitely scold the bitch when he goes back.

, let her return the dowry in full."

"Haha, it turned out to be a mistake, so it will be easier to deal with. Cousin Shuhua, don't cry. With my father here, my eldest aunt's dowry must be yours." Seeing this, the prince hurriedly spoke up.

.

It was a double entendre, referring to both the curse on the royal family and the frame-up by Ye Zhao and his wife to frame Ye Shuhua for snatching the dowry.

The emperor glanced at the prince, his angry eyes finally showing some relief.

This matter is very difficult to handle today.

Regardless of whether the curse on the royal family is true or not, Ye Zhao is suspected of framed Ye Shuhua by slandering the royal family. Furthermore, it has emerged that Ye Zhao usurped the eldest princess's dowry.

This involves the royal family's reputation, and is no small matter.

A mistake, but it directly minimized these two thorny issues.

It is naturally much easier for the emperor to deal with it. It will not damage the royal family's face, and even if he makes the decision for Ye Shuhua, Ye Zhao will not be punished too severely.

The emperor sighed secretly. He, the prince, had hired all kinds of staff. He didn't get much done, but he caused trouble every day!

As an emperor, he still has to wipe his butt!

Unfortunately, his heart still favored the prince.

Looking at Ye Shuhua, her expression became much softer and she said, "Yes, Hua'er, please stop crying. I will make the decision for you. These dowries are all yours. I have spoken and no one dares to listen!"

Ye Shuhua stopped crying immediately. What she wanted was the emperor's oral instructions.

Afterwards, she wiped away her tears and followed the trend, instead of trying to expose what the prince had said, she directly thanked the emperor for his kindness.

"It's just that I don't know the exact number of maids in my mother's dowry. The dowry list was also lost by Mrs. Ye..."

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

When the emperor saw that she did not insist on lifting the fig leaf, and that she was aware of current affairs, his affection for her increased and he sympathized with her even more.

When he heard this, he knew that Ye Gong must have lost it on purpose because 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 of the prince's face and because Ye Zhao is an important minister in the court and doesn't want to be punished.

But in the final analysis, he was treated like a monkey in this entire incident today.

The anger that should be expressed must still be expressed, and the punishment that should be given must not be less!

"Hua'er, you don't have to worry about the dowry list. The eldest princess's dowry list was drawn up by my order, and a copy will naturally be kept in the palace!"

The emperor spoke sternly and continued: "You can return to the Ye Mansion with peace of mind. The dowry list and the oral instructions will be here soon! With my oral instructions, Ye Gong would not dare to cheat and seize the dowry without paying it back! Do you think so, Mr. Ye?

!”

There was obvious anger in the emperor's tone, and Ye Zhao hurriedly kowtowed in response.

The emperor only has one biological sister, the eldest princess. They have been very close since childhood, and the emperor loves this biological sister very much.

Even now, no matter how partial he was to the prince and helping Ye Zhao, he would not be able to allow him to seize the eldest princess's dowry, let alone without any punishment.

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

"As for Ye Gong's seizure of the eldest princess's dowry, you and Ye Zhao should be punished according to law for allowing Ye Gong's behavior!" The emperor pointed at Ye Zhao with a deep anger.

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

"Father..." The prince frowned and hurriedly stepped forward to plead for mercy.

The emperor gave him a sidelong glance, his eyes telling him to shut up.

Then he spoke slowly, "But since you don't know the reason, Ye Gongshi deliberately offended the emperor's power, so he will be exempted. But you and Ye Gongshi will not escape the punishment. Each of you and Ye Gongshi will be punished with forty pieces of board, three years in prison, and seven years of closed door thinking."

You are not allowed to go to court every day! You should reflect at home these days and reflect on who you are as a father and who you are as a minister!"

The emperor originally wanted to punish him by shutting himself up for a month, but thinking that he would have to discuss the expenses of visiting envoys from Li State recently, he changed his mind for seven days.

Ye Zhao had layers of cold sweat on his forehead. He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the final punishment.

"I thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty is generous."

Yu Zhenguo was watching the show from beginning to end, his eyes falling on Ye Shuhua from time to time.

The luster in his eyes became a little darker, and he was completely impressed by this Ye Shuhua.

She is not at all as cowardly and stupid as I heard before. She is strategic and courageous, has an unruffled posture in the face of danger, is calm and calm beyond ordinary people, and is also observant and able to speculate on the Sacred Heart.

Far more than an ordinary man.

Even his grandson Yu Jingtian, who he cultivated with great care, may not have the calm determination and courage like her when facing this kind of situation.

As expected of the eldest princess’s bloodline.

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

It was mid-afternoon and the sun was still high in the sky.

Ye Mansion, Huating Garden.

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

The eldest princess's dowry, which Ye Gongshi was ordering to be moved, was also stopped at the gate of the courtyard in time.

"You cheap maid, I have really rebelled against you! How dare you throw away Yu'er's things, how dare you stop me, the mistress of the house! Do you really think you are your master and can you come back safe and sound?"

Ye Gongshi put her hands on her hips and yelled arrogantly, her eyes full of pride, "I tell you, she can't come back. Even if she comes back, she will be a useless person and will no longer be a princess!"

She raised her finger and pointed at the noses of Zhuying and Jicui, and said fiercely: "You, and you, when the time comes, I will cripple you all and sell them to the brothels to see if you dare to be arrogant again!"
