Chapter 186 Slander (Part 1)
"For Ye Shixian?"
Princess Qinyang interrupted him, feeling a dull pain in her chest as if something was blocking it.
She laughed in anger.
"Murong Ye, are you out of your mind? Everyone knows exactly what crime Ye Heng committed. If there was no evidence, would Su Wei have taken him away directly? Now you come to me to help him? Are you crazy?"
When had Murong Ye ever been scolded like this before, especially by someone who was Princess Qinyang who had been in love with him for several years?
But thinking of Ye Shixian's misty and worried eyes, he took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
"Qin Yang, there must be something wrong with this matter! Just think about it, why would he poison Han Yao at that time? Is he afraid that others will not suspect him?"
Princess Qinyang sneered: "Who knows, maybe he is as stupid as a pig?"
Murong Ye's temple was throbbing with pain.
Princess Qinyang turned around and was about to leave: "Don't tell me I can't help you with this matter. Even if I can help, I won't interfere! If he really didn't do anything, the Dali Temple will clear his name, but if he did... then what will happen!"
Before Murong Ye came, he had thought that Princess Qinyang might not agree, but he did not expect that she would refuse so thoroughly. After all, this was the first time he asked her for help.
Seeing that Princess Qinyang didn't even turn her head and was determined, Murong Ye hurriedly grabbed her wrist.
Princess Qinyang seemed to be aware of something and dodged quickly.
Murong Ye was stunned.
Her Kung Fu seems to have improved a lot compared to before...
But this thought only flashed through his mind and was quickly forgotten, replaced by an indescribable feeling of shame and anger.
"Qinyang, you really don't want to help me, right?"
Princess Qinyang turned around and looked at him intently, her eyes clearly black and white.
"Yes." She said word by word, "Murong Ye, you saved me once, I owe you a favor. If you asked me for your own sake today, I would have no objection, but you are not. Although I am a princess, this matter involves a lot of things, and there is only so much I can do. Your father is a second-rank official in the current dynasty. If he is willing to help, it will surely be much simpler. You might as well go and ask him!"
Murong Ye's brows were tightly knitted.
Princess Qinyang must have guessed that the first person he would ask for help would be his father. If his father was willing to help, he would not have been so servile as to beg her.
She said this obviously to make things difficult on purpose!
Seeing his increasingly ugly expression, Princess Qinyang felt a chill in her heart, thinking it was ridiculous.
"In all these years, I've never seen you work so hard for anyone."
Murong Ye gritted his teeth: "I..."
Princess Qinyang ran out of patience and interrupted him: "If you want to be a hero, rely on your own ability, don't drag others along. I'm not interested! Understand?"
After saying this, Princess Qinyang turned and left.
Murong Ye hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
"Qinyang! Wait a minute!"
Princess Qinyang lost all interest and was thinking about leaving the palace directly, but suddenly she heard a few low voices of discussion coming from not far ahead.
"Is this true? Is Ye Chutang such a person?"
Princess Qinyang frowned, stopped immediately and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The osmanthus tree shaded the view, its branches swaying, and several women gathered together, not noticing the arrival of Princess Qinyang.
One of the women, wearing a light pink skirt embroidered with lotus flowers, gently covered her lips with a handkerchief.
"Isn't it? I thought she was a young woman who lost her parents and raised her brothers and sisters all by herself, and it was very hard and pitiful. Who knew she would be so indecent?"
This statement immediately aroused the agreement of several women nearby.
"I've always found it strange. When her family got into trouble, she was only fourteen. Three years later, she was able to return to Beijing safely with her brothers and sisters. How did she do it? Now that I think about it, she must have borrowed a lot of help..."
"You have to say that she is really capable. How long has she been back and she has already climbed up to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion? Apart from other things, that face is indeed quite pretty. Which man would not feel sorry for her when seeing it?"
"Who said it wasn't? The prince of Dingbei never approached women in the past, but he rode in the same carriage with her these few times and sent her back. Wasn't it because she risked her life to save him? But there were so many pilgrims going to Wulan Mountain that day, how come she and the prince met each other? But I heard that the prince went to Wulan Mountain that day to keep an appointment with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi! How she ended up there, only she knows..."
The woman in the light pink dress snorted: "In my opinion, Ye Chutang is quite scheming! In the future--"
Before she finished speaking, she looked up inadvertently and saw Princess Qinyang standing in the corridor not far away. She screamed "Ah!" and was shocked.
She saluted hurriedly: "Princess Qin, Princess Qinyang! Why are you here?!"
The other people turned around and were also surprised.
"Meet Princess Qinyang!"
Princess Qinyang raised her eyebrows and said, "Go on, why don't you continue? I am enjoying what you are saying."
Several women were trembling with fear, and the one in the pink dress was about to cry.
"Princess, I, we didn't say anything, you misunderstood..."
"Oh?" Princess Qinyang asked back with interest, "You mean, my ears are not working well?"
“No, no! I never meant that!” The pink-dressed woman was visibly flustered and knelt down directly. “My Lord, please be magnanimous and spare me this time!”
Who doesn't know that Princess Qinyang is not easy to mess with? I heard that she had a good relationship with Ye Chutang. If she heard these words, wouldn't it be like kicking a stone wall? ?
The other women looked at each other in panic.
Princess Qinyang stared at the woman and said, "She looks familiar... Is your father Luo Yingqi, the Junior Minister of the Honglu Temple?"
The face of the woman in the pink skirt turned pale.
She thought that Princess Qinyang didn't know her and she could get away with it, but she didn't know that Princess Qinyang remembered people very quickly and could match the names of everyone she had seen.
When she was following King Yannan in the southwestern border, she relied on this ability to identify the thief at a glance.
However, it has been a long time, and most people in the capital don't know that she has such ability.
Princess Qinyang smiled and said, "I was wondering why there have been some rumors recently. I wondered which gossiper was gossiping, but who knew it was the daughter of the Luo family?"
Ever since the news spread that Ye Chutang was injured while saving Chen Yanchuan, some unpleasant rumors have emerged.
Princess Qinyang thought that Ye Chutang had not recovered from his illness, so she temporarily suppressed the matter and planned to investigate it later. Unexpectedly, -
Princess Qinyang took a step forward and smiled at the woman in the pink dress.
"Does your father know that you are slandering the benefactor of Dingbei Marquis's Mansion and the honored guest of the Princess's Mansion?"
