Concubine Shu opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer.
This development was completely beyond her expectation. Even though the emperor rarely calls her to accompany him now, the favor he received for more than ten years is not fake. She is still the most favored concubine in the entire harem. Whenever something goes wrong, the emperor will always help her.
Just cry a few times in front of me and everything will be solved.
But now, the emperor was speaking harshly to her, and in front of so many people!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Concubine Shu murmured.
The emperor didn't even look at her. He turned around and ordered the servant: "Call the princess and the princess."
"yes."
Princess Changning's eyes were red from crying, and she couldn't help but let out a sob when she opened her mouth: "Father..."
There was a fire in the emperor's heart, and he couldn't care less about his daughter. He asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? You were just playing on the boat, how did you fall into the water?"
Seeing Princess Changning crying sadly, Princess Jinghua answered on her behalf: "Your Majesty, we were having fun on the boat when someone suddenly shouted that they were going to overtake us..."
As she spoke in detail, the emperor's face grew darker and darker as she listened.
After she finished speaking, Princess Jiayi burst into tears and was pushed out by her mother, Princess Jincheng, to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, it is Jiayi's fault. She should not have caused such a catastrophe by causing such a catastrophe."
The emperor ignored her and continued to ask: "So, at that time, Miss Ye asked Miss Xu San to go rowing together, and then they fell into the water at the same time?"
"Yes, there was a ship that collided with them, and they couldn't stand still..."
The lady on the boat also came to apologize, but the boat girl was driving the boat, so what does it have to do with them?
The emperor glanced at them coldly and asked again: "Where are the Ye family brothers and sisters?"
When Concubine Shu heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly raised her head to look at the emperor, only to see that he ignored her at all.
The Ye family brothers and sisters arrived quickly. Ye Xuanhua had already changed his clothes, his hair was half-dried, and he only had time to put it into a bun. He was naked without any accessories, and his face had no makeup, making him look extremely pale.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, even without makeup, he is still full of youth. Ye Xuanhua's description like this, although it has damaged a bit of beauty, it actually shows a bit of frailty, which makes people pity all the more.
It's a pity that the emperor is very different from the past. He didn't look at his face at all. After asking a few questions, he said coldly: "I will give you a chance. If you recruit me now, you won't have to suffer."
Ye Xuanhua was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, what is your Majesty saying? My daughter doesn't understand!"
Mrs. Ye heard the implication and immediately knelt down and cried out: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with my daughter! Miss Xu San fell into the water in the chaos, and I am also eager to save my sister..."
The emperor sneered, no longer asked, and directly called the servants to drag the Ye family brothers and sisters down for execution. Now Concubine Shu could not stand still, and hitting the Ye family was like a slap in her face!
She dragged the third prince out and begged for mercy to the Ye family brothers and sisters. She begged in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please have mercy. This matter has nothing to do with Xuanhua! She just happened to meet him. There is no way she could push Miss Xu San into the water."
It was a pity that the emperor was so hard-hearted this time that he allowed his servants to drag the Ye family brothers and sisters down and execute them together with several related boat girls.
The development of the matter shocked everyone. Even Concubine De did not expect the emperor to come.
The screams of the Ye family brothers and sisters were heard from behind. Mrs. Ye was crying so hard that she was about to die. Everyone was trembling with fear. Even Princess Changning stopped crying. Only Concubine Xian, who was squeezed outside, looked calm.
"Aunt," Liu Xi'er swallowed her saliva and asked in a low voice, "Why, why..."
It is obvious that His Majesty loves Concubine Shu so much, and it is obvious that the Ye family was so proud before.
Concubine Xian said calmly: "You didn't listen when I asked you to pay more attention to the things outside. Do you really think that the most powerful people in the world are here? The world has changed a long time ago. Your Majesty would rather his son die than reveal his son.
The Duke's son died in the capital."
Liu Xi'er looked at her aunt blankly. This is the capital, and if the most powerful person in the world is not here, where can he be? Even though the Second Young Master Yan was very brave and had the ability to save people, he was still in front of several princes.
If you don’t want to be respectful and respectful, how come you are more important than them?
Seeing her like this, Concubine Xian hated iron. Then she thought of the person in her memory who had also misjudged the situation. She couldn't help but sigh, and lost the mood to reprimand her, and said: "Do you really think that I am the matchmaker?"
Do you and Yan Er look down on you? If you can successfully marry into the Duke of Zhao, it will be more practical than being a princess. What a pity..."
Yan Er has not been found so far, and he is probably dead. She waited for so many years before she finally had the opportunity to climb into the Zhaoguo Duke's palace again, but she was ruined by this idiot Shu Fei. It's really not as good as fate.
The more the concubine Xian thought about it, the angrier she became. Her current mood was exactly the same as that of the emperor. She wished he would tear those bad people of the Ye family into pieces!
Idiot Concubine Shu, do you really think that Miss Xu San is the daughter of a remote official? Now that the country is in charge of its own affairs, the capital cannot command the East River, control the southwest, and control Guanzhong. Your Majesty urgently needs foreign ministers who are loyal to him and have real power. Otherwise,
Why did he send Jiang Yi to Jiangbei before, delegating all kinds of power and allowing him to suppress the Li family in all kinds of ways? He summoned the Xu family's daughter to the capital, granted the title of county prince, and rewarded him with large sums of money. Just to show his favor, he sent Xu Huan to the capital.
Take it as a confidant.
Therefore, it is impossible for Concubine Shu's plan to succeed. Even if Ye Xuanbo really saved Miss Xu San today, it is impossible for the emperor to agree to this marriage - to marry Xu Huanzhen's beloved daughter to a dandy with all five poisons.
If you don’t raise a flag of rebellion, you are considered loyal!
Miss Xu San can't afford to offend her anymore, and now that Second Young Master Yan is involved, the Ye family is finished.
The emperor's behavior was not only to vent his anger, but also to appease Duke Zhao and Xu Huan.
The Ye family brothers and sisters were so pampered that they could not withstand such a severe punishment. Not long after, Ye Xuanbo made the first move. Sure enough, Concubine Shu asked him to wait nearby. As soon as Miss Xu San fell into the water, he would rush over to save her, and she must do so in full view of the public.
Next, get things done.
Once Ye Xuanbo makes a move, there is no need for others to persist.
The boat girl who collided also got the secret order first and created an opportunity for Ye Xuanhua.
Except Princess Jiayi, by chance, she was taken advantage of when competing with Princess Jinghua.
After hearing the testimony reported by the chamberlain, Mrs. Ye fell to the ground and almost breathed out.
"Your Majesty! I have no concubine! It must have been spread by someone else. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly!" Concubine Shu still refused to admit her guilt and rushed forward to beg.
It's a pity that the emperor couldn't tolerate her this time, and directly asked the chamberlain to hold her down. Concubine Shu's hair bun fell down, and the makeup on her face was covered with sweat and tears. The beauty and dignity of more than ten years were completely gone.
Mrs. Ye was so angry that she rushed towards her sister-in-law and tore her apart: "It turns out to be you! It's you! I told you to be more peaceful when you are older. Why do you insist on seeking death? My Xuanhua and my Xuanbo were both killed by you.
