Madam Ye looked carefully at the person who came, and found that it was Prince Yu.
She was curious and wondered why Prince Yu came to visit her at this moment.
Ye Pengcheng was also a little curious at this moment, but he still saluted him respectfully.
"This old minister pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Yu."
The fourth son of the Ye family had naturally met Prince Yu, so he also followed suit and paid his respects.
Prince Yu smiled slightly and immediately waved his hand to ask everyone to excuse themselves.
"General Ye, I came here today to talk to you about Xinxin."
Seeing this, Ye Fan and others immediately bowed and said goodbye.
"Since His Royal Highness Prince Yu has something important to discuss with Father, I will withdraw first."
Shangguan Yu glanced at the four people, smiled faintly and waved his hand.
"Gentlemen, there is no need to avoid suspicion. This is not a confidential matter."
After Prince Yu said this, the four of them couldn't just leave, so they had to accompany Ye Pengcheng to talk with Prince Yu.
Prince Yu did not waste either party's time and directly stated his purpose.
"General Ye, originally, the king wanted Xinxin to be his principal wife."
"However, I didn't expect that Miss Yuan would come to visit me that day and bump into Xinxin by chance."
"Xinxin had an argument with her, and in order to appease Xinxin, I couldn't hold back for a moment."
"Originally, the responsibility for this matter lies with me, but for some reason, the room Xinxin and I were staying in suddenly caught fire."
"After the incident became a big deal, my father, for the sake of my reputation, decided to make Xinxin bear all the blame."
"I strongly opposed it, but it angered my father."
"For the past few days, my father has confined me to my house. This is why I have been trying to apologize but have been unable to do so."
"It was not until today's palace banquet that my father finally released me. So, I came right away to explain to the general."
"But don't worry, General. Xinxin and I are truly in love. After we get married, I will definitely treat Xinxin well."
Ye Pengcheng listened quietly to what Prince Yu had said, then looked at him with a faint smile.
"I, your humble servant, would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Yu for his care for Xinxin. It is a blessing for Xinxin to have the favor of His Royal Highness. I, your humble servant, am relieved."
Ye Pengcheng said this, but he was a little anxious in his heart.
Because he found that the place where they were standing was very conspicuous.
Anyone who passed by could see Prince Yu talking to them, but they could not hear what he was saying.
Prince Yu always greeted him with a smile, so naturally he had to smile back.
But others cannot hear what they say, and will definitely think that the Ye family and Prince Yu have a very good relationship.
Ye Pengcheng understood that Prince Yu was deliberately trying to win over the Ye family by explaining the matter between him and Ye Xinxin.
The reason he chose this time and place was naturally to let everyone know his intention to win over the Ye family.
As for Prince Yu's house arrest, he had heard a little about it.
However, he didn't know whether he was really under house arrest or was trying to avoid the emperor's punishment.
Just as he was lost in thought, Prince Yu suddenly changed his tone.
"General Ye, I haven't been idle these past few days despite being under house arrest. Can you guess who set the fire in my mansion?"
Ye Pengcheng was puzzled. "What do you mean, Your Highness? Could it be that what happened between you and Xinxin was set up by someone?"
Prince Yu's expression was somewhat solemn, and then he nodded.
"General Ye, this matter is also my fault. You also know that there are people who have always been at odds with me."
"Whatever the king wants to do, he will definitely interfere."
"After learning that the prince was fond of Xinxin, he deliberately had someone notify Xinxin to come on the day Miss Yuan arrived, and he also took the opportunity to order someone to set the fire."
"Even if I don't say it, I'm sure General Ye can see the purpose clearly."
Upon hearing this, Ye Pengcheng frowned and thought, while Ye Rong beside him spoke at the right time.
"Your Highness, what you're saying is that the Crown Prince is deliberately preventing your marriage to Xinxin because he's jealous of you?"
After Ye Rong finished speaking, Ye Chang immediately stood up.
"That must be the case. Everyone knows that our Ye family cares very much about Xinxin."
"The reason he stood up to stop this marriage and let Xinxin suffer in the process was definitely to create a rift between His Royal Highness Prince Yu and the Ye family."
"I never thought he would resort to such unscrupulous means to achieve his goal."
After Ye Chang finished speaking, he turned and looked at Ye Fan with pretended anger.
"Brother, let me tell you, he's not a good boss at all. In my opinion, you should just quit your job as the owner of that bookstore."
"If this goes on for too long, it's inevitable that people will misunderstand our Ye family."
Ye Fanshi showed hesitation at the time, and Shangguan Yu immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Mr. Ye San is too serious. I heard that Tianquan Book Club is not the Crown Prince's property."
"Besides, how can Mr. Ye give up the book club he has worked so hard to run just because of me?"
Ye Fan continued to remain silent. He always felt that Shangguan Yu had not finished speaking.
Sure enough, Shangguan Yu paused after he finished speaking.
"However, Master Ye, don't you think that some of the books in Tianquan Book Club are not very good?"
"For example, the 'Thirty-Six Celestial Beings' and the 'Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends', as well as 'The Story of the Stone'."
"At first glance, the story seems quite good, but if you look closely, you'll find that it contains many things that express dissatisfaction with the imperial court."
"If we publicize this kind of book, it will undoubtedly arouse the wrath of the Emperor."
"It's nothing, big brother. After all, he is the emperor's son. Besides, the book club was built in the name of his friend."
