Chapter 142 Do You Suspicious Me?
When Wu Wan heard him say this, her face immediately turned a little ugly.
Everyone knew that the coral bead bracelets in their hands were given to the harem by Zhu Feng through Ye Zheng. Now that Ye Zheng said that Si Nanyan's things were not of unknown origin, could it be that -
The atmosphere immediately became subtle.
Xia Yunting was originally kneeling on the ground and trembling. At this time, he turned his head and glanced at Nan Yan, only to see that her face suddenly turned pale.
Wu Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Oh? What's the origin of that?"
Just as Ye Zheng was about to speak, Nan Yan hurriedly said, "There's something wrong with the clasp on that bracelet. Master Ye asked me to fix it."
Ye Zheng turned his head and looked at her.
Nan Yan also looked up at him, her eyes flickering, and said softly, "Master Ye, right?"
“…”
"Right."
“…”
Ye Zheng was silent for a long time before he turned around with a complicated expression and said, "Yes."
“…”
"Just as the lady-in-waiting said."
The entire Shou'an Palace fell silent.
There was a subtle emotion in the hall. Everyone was looking at Si Nanyan, whose face was slightly flushed, even the tips of her ears had turned red. She lowered her head deeply, her hands on her knees, and her fingertips were trembling.
After a long while, Xu Miaoyin said, "So that's how it is. If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, none of this would have happened."
Nan Yan lowered her head and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I forgot for a moment."
"Well, get up now."
“…”
"I'm sorry I've implicated you this time, so don't feel wronged."
"The Empress is very perceptive, and this servant has not been wronged."
"Since the Emperor has asked you to accompany him to Yongzhou, then you should quickly prepare, as we will depart tomorrow."
"yes."
Nan Yan hurriedly stood up, bowed to the people around her, and left Shou'an Palace.
Wu Wan looked at her back and became anxious: "Empress, she——"
Xu Miaoyin said coldly: "The truth of this matter has been revealed, so don't say anything more!"
Wu Wan lowered her head with an unpleasant expression: "Yes."
Nan Yan went to Chunxi Palace to pack up her things, and Chun'er came over and returned her jewelry box to her.
So she took her luggage and left Shou'an Palace.
As soon as she walked out of the gate of Shou'an Palace, she saw Ye Zheng standing in front waiting for her. Nan Yan said nothing and walked over in silence. Ye Zheng also said nothing and accompanied her to the Ye Ting.
After walking for a while, Ye Zheng finally said, "You must have suffered a lot these past two days."
Nan Yan lowered her head: "No."
“…”
Ye Zheng looked at the injured corner of her mouth and the faint bruise on her neck, and knew that the matter must be serious, but seeing the way she closed her lips, he knew that she would definitely not say more.
He thought for a while before saying, "I've been out of the palace on business these past two days, so I didn't know about this. But you, why didn't you tell them?"
“…”
"I was the one who gave you that bracelet that day. Why didn't you tell them?"
“…”
Ye Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Do you doubt me?"
Nan Yan lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry."
“…”
"It happened so suddenly, I—I didn't understand it at all."
Ye Zheng listened and sighed softly.
Indeed, that incident happened too suddenly. He gave the coral bead bracelet to Nan Yan, and then a theft case happened right after that. It was understandable that Nan Yan would suspect that he had colluded with the people in the harem to frame her at that time.
After all, he was an old man in Prince Yan's Mansion, and the concubines here, except Xia Yunting, were all concubines and wives of Prince Yan's Mansion, and they had known him for a long time.
Nan Yan said softly, "Ye Zheng, I'm sorry."
