Chapter 1052 Imperial Edict (1)
"Which eye of yours saw that, I will dig out that eye of yours."
He was blatantly threatening people, and he dared to say such outrageous words without even noticing the presence of Lu Zhengchun and Emperor Yongle. Lu Zhengchun was so angry that he almost collapsed. Xie Jingxing's intention was to make Ye Hongguang change his words right in front of him! How could such a bastard exist in the world!
"Now, tell me again." Xie Jingxing played with the gold ingot in his hand and asked nonchalantly, "What did you see?"
Ye Hongguang had never seen such a scene before, and he probably never imagined that someone would dare to be unreasonable in front of the emperor. Nervously, he looked to Ye Mei for help, because Ye Mei was the only one he had the closest relationship with.
But to Ye Hongguang's disappointment, Ye Mei did not help him, but lowered her head to avoid Ye Hongguang's gaze. This made Ye Hongguang even more helpless.
Neither Emperor Yongle nor Empress Xiande spoke. Lu Zhengchun's arrogance was irritating, but Xie Jingxing wasn't one to take a loss. In this clash, Lu Zhengchun was always at a disadvantage, so neither of them spoke.
Although Lu Zhengchun was also annoyed with Xie Jingxing, he dared not act rashly. Emperor Yongle still considered his status as the emperor, and it was not yet time to break off relations. But Xie Jingxing was different. When Xie Jingxing returned to Longye, some court officials had raised their suspicions about Xie Jingxing in the Golden Palace. This person had smiled and agreed at the time. But not long after, what happened to those court officials? Xie Jingxing was a ruthless person, vindictive, and he must not openly break off relations with him unless it was absolutely necessary.
Ye Hongguang was silent and refused to speak, but Shen Miao calmed down at this time. She walked forward and happened to be shoulder to shoulder with Xie Jingxing. She looked at the young man in the wheelchair and said, "Did you really see me push Concubine Jing down?"
Ye Hongguang raised his head and looked at her. Shen Miao was a woman after all, so Ye Hongguang was not that afraid of her. Although his expression was still a little unnatural, he was much bolder. He hesitated for a moment and nodded firmly.
She said, "Okay, then tell me where you were at that time."
Ye Hongguang was stunned.
"Are you at the top or bottom of the stairs?" Shen Miao asked patiently. She softened her tone, speaking like a gentle older sister, but Ye Hongguang suddenly shrank nervously at her question.
Ye Mei, who was kneeling on the ground with her head down and not moving, trembled slightly.
Shen Miao did not give him a chance to think, pressing on step by step, and asked: "Have you remembered, the top or the bottom?"
"Down, down." Ye Hongguang said.
Shen Miao laughed softly.
Lu Zhengchun and Madam Lu looked at her furiously, as if annoyed that she could still laugh in such a situation. However, Empress Xian De's eyes relaxed slightly. Emperor Yongle stared at Shen Miao, while Xie Jingxing crossed his arms and looked at Ye Hongguang with a half-smile.
“That’s really strange.” Shen Miao said, “Those stairs were very long and steep. That’s why Concubine Jing fell so hard. With such long and steep stairs, how could you see me standing on top clearly from below? I’m afraid you couldn’t even see Concubine Jing’s shadow.”
Ye Hongguang was stunned for a moment. He was young and had rarely left his house. He was already very nervous to see Emperor Yongle today. Now, after hearing what Shen Miao said, he looked panicked.
Ye Mei slowly clenched her fists.
Shen Miao asked, "Young Master Ye, think about it again. Maybe you remembered it wrongly. Is it on top or on the bottom?"
Ye Hongguang quickly said: "Up there, I remembered it wrong, it's up there!" He repeated it again with certainty.
