Chapter 192 Burn It Clean (Part 1)
These words carried so much weight that the last trace of blood on Luo Wanwan's lips faded away.
Offending Ye Chutang was nothing, but the eldest princess and the son of Marquis Dingbei were people they could not afford to offend!
The more Luo Wanwan thought about it, the more frightened she became. She staggered and almost fainted.
Seeing this, the other girl sitting next to her stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to help her, but changed her mind and stopped, lowering her head and eyes, fearing that she would be implicated.
Princess Qinyang also noticed her appearance and asked, "Miss Luo doesn't look well. Do you need a doctor to take a look?"
Luo Wanwan was really scared. With countless eyes of all kinds pressed on her, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Wan Wan!"
Luo Yingqi hurried forward.
Seeing this chaotic scene, Concubine Ru took the opportunity to speak: "No matter what, saving people is the most important thing. Take Miss Luo away first."
Seeing that Emperor Mu Wu had no intention of objecting, Luo Yingqi felt as if he had been pardoned. He thanked the emperor profusely and quickly left with Luo Wanwan.
Looking at the embarrassed figure going away, Princess Qinyang curled her lips and snorted: "I thought he was so brave, but it turns out he is just a weakling who can only gossip behind people's backs!"
These words were very unpleasant to hear, but no one dared to say anything more.
The attitudes of the Princess and the Marquis of Dingbei were clear; they were determined to support Ye Chutang. Now that the Luo family had offended them, there was no telling what situation they would end up in in the future!
Concubine Ru tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Qinyang, it's just a few words from ignorant people, there's no need to hold on to it. Miss Ye Er is upright and has nothing to fear from her own shadow, so why should she be afraid of those rumors? She risked her life to save Yanchuan this time, so she deserves a big reward."
Chen Yanchuan gently stroked the teacup with his slender fingertips, and then nodded gently: "What the Imperial Concubine said is very true, but she is not greedy for fame and wealth, and those material things are of no importance to her. However... the assassination of her father and brother may be suspicious. If we can find out the truth and give her an explanation, it may be the best."
There was a slight smile on Concubine Ru's lips.
"What the prince means is..."
Chen Yanchuan turned his head and looked towards Su Wei.
"Just now, Lord Su said that Han Yao publicly pointed out that Ye Heng was involved in Ye Zheng's death. I wonder if Lord Su has made any progress?"
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Shen Yanchuan to bring up this matter again.
However, the next moment, Su Wei clasped his hands together and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I did receive an anonymous letter of complaint last night. The content of the letter also implies that Ye Zheng did not die in an accident, but died at the hands of his younger brother!"
After a brief silence, everyone was in an uproar!
"What!?"
"The accident that Ye Zheng's family encountered that year was really caused by Ye Heng?!"
"I thought Han Yao was desperate and talking nonsense, but why is there an anonymous letter now?"
Emperor Muwu had a cold expression.
"What's going on? Tell me everything!"
Xiao Chengxuan clenched his palms, tightened his jaw, and glanced at Su Wei with a cold look.
However, after only a moment, he withdrew his gaze and his expression returned to normal.
Su Wei clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, the letter said that Ye Zheng had left the capital with his family and headed north to Wuzhou. He was very low-key and not many people knew about it, and even the people who saw him off were few and far between. It was freezing cold at the time, and the roads were blocked by heavy snow. Even if there were bandits rampant, they would not have chosen such a remote section of the road. Someone must have deliberately leaked their whereabouts and sent assassins disguised as bandits to rob and kill them secretly. And the person who leaked the news... is most likely Ye Heng!"
