"I can take Miss Ye to see the Emperor."
"Follow me."
The Imperial Advisor maintained a calm and composed attitude throughout, and because of his words, the Imperial Guards dared not say anything more.
After all, this lord was treated with utmost respect even by the Emperor.
In the Imperial Study.
The emperor looked at Ye He, and after the initial shock, he was mostly puzzled.
"Ye He, since you survived such a calamity, why do you still dare to enter the palace to see me? Aren't you afraid that I will deal with you immediately?"
With everyone believing Ye He to be dead, as long as Ye He doesn't reappear...
"Because I know His Majesty is waiting for me to appear."
Ye He cupped his hands and said, “Your subject has followed the late emperor in his campaigns across the land, and has served two emperors since then. I swear on my life that I have never committed any act of desertion.”
"Hiding and hiding is not my style. I urge Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly."
Ye He's gaze was firm, and he spoke these words without any fear.
"Aren't you afraid that I will punish your daughter Ye Jintang as well?"
Ye He's emotions only wavered slightly when Ye Jintang was mentioned.
He wasn't afraid of dying, but he was worried that Ye Jintang would get hurt.
As a father, he owed Ye Jintang far too much.
Ye He's emotional change was fleeting, and he quickly returned to calm.
"Your Majesty is a wise ruler, and I believe that Your Majesty would not do such a thing."
Ye He seemed to have thought of something and said to the emperor again.
“Your Majesty, if my daughter is to be punished because of my crime, I do not think you will give her that token.”
"Ye He, you truly deserve to be called a great general who has conquered all directions. You are quite insightful in this regard."
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor and Miss Ye are requesting an audience outside the Imperial Study."
The report came through.
"What you say comes true."
"Ye He, your daughter is just like you."
Ye Jintang was definitely the first person to dare to venture alone into the palace and even into the Imperial Study at this time.
Ye He's expression changed slightly. If his safety could be exchanged for the safety of those around him, it would be worth it.
But what happened to Tang'er...?
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Let the Imperial Advisor and Ye Jintang in."
Ye Jintang and the Imperial Advisor entered the Imperial Study one after the other, and both bowed to the Emperor.
"Does the Imperial Preceptor have something important to report?"
The emperor did not immediately question Ye Jintang, but instead asked the imperial advisor.
"Your Majesty, I observed the celestial phenomena last night and predicted that something unexpected would happen today, so I came here specifically to report this."
The Imperial Advisor answered the Emperor calmly and unhurriedly.
"variable."
The emperor seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze first falling on Ye He, and finally landing on Ye Jintang.
"Then, Imperial Advisor, tell me, with the appearance of General Ye and Miss Ye, who is the biggest variable?"
Ye Jintang frowned.
The emperor is handing over the decision-making power to the imperial advisor.
Wouldn't his single word determine Ye He's life or death?
As Ye Jintang was pondering, she noticed the Imperial Advisor looking at her.
He quickly moved away, his tone carrying a hint of mystery.
"Your Majesty, both of them are unpredictable, and besides, you also know that General Ye's defection was framed."
"There are not many people as open-minded as General Ye."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The emperor laughed heartily, clearly satisfied with the imperial advisor's answer.
"Ye Jintang, have you used the token I gave you during this time to investigate and prove the crimes committed against your father?"
Faced with the emperor's question, Ye Jintang did not hesitate at all, and took out several letters from his pocket, concealed by his sleeve.
She did gain something during this time.
Most importantly, she sneaked into the Marquis's residence that night and went to read Jiang Mubai's letter.
Coincidentally, they found several letters that served as "evidence".
With these, plus the evidence previously collected, proving Ye He's innocence should not be a problem.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
The eunuch beside him stepped forward, took the letter from Ye Jintang, and then handed it to the emperor.
After reading it, the emperor's face darkened.
"Jiang Mubai? And the Minister's Mansion!"
"To be precise, besides Jiang Mubai, Su Xuerou was also involved, and Su Xuerou, as the illegitimate daughter of Minister Su, repeatedly stirred up trouble."
“Besides them, I suspect there are other forces.”
Ye Jintang then recounted everything he knew.
The emperor was furious.
“This Jiang Mubai is simply audacious! I have been lenient with him because of his previous military achievements, but I never expected that he would even dare to plot against General Jingye.”
"Your Majesty, I wonder if this can prove my father's innocence?"
"nature."
"Ye Jintang, you must understand that without my permission, even if you have my token in your hand, you cannot get here."
"And the same goes for your father."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jintang suddenly realized why she couldn't predict Ye He's exact location.
In addition to the emperor and the imperial advisor, Ye He had already met these two people some time earlier.
"I will clear General Ye's name at court tomorrow. As for you, Ye Jintang..."
The emperor paused, then suddenly heard another report coming from outside.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Regent requests an audience."
Regent?
The emperor hesitated, and unconsciously glanced in Ye Jintang's direction, having heard some of the recent rumors.
Could it be...?
Ye Jintang naturally noticed the emperor's gaze, and she felt that there was more to it than met the eye.
The presence of Ye Ling here suggests she likely knows something about Ye He.
The emperor raised his hand.
Soon Ye Ling walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, pay my respects."
While bowing, Ye Ling glanced at Ye Jintang out of the corner of her eye. Only after confirming that she was alright did she truly breathe a sigh of relief.
"What brings the Regent here?"
The emperor also noticed Ye Ling's change, and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have come here for General Ye."
Ye Jintang's heart skipped a beat.
Well, everything is exactly as she guessed.
"These are the pieces of evidence that my brother has collected. I believe they can clear General Ye's name."
The emperor rose, approached Ye Ling, and reached out to take the item, his expression noticeably more serious than before.
"You may all leave. Only the Regent may remain here."
The emperor addressed the crowd present.
"yes."
Ye Jintang breathed a sigh of relief. Since the emperor did not directly punish Ye He this time, his crimes were cleared.
However, she still has many questions about this matter.
He left the Imperial Study.
Just as Ye Jintang was about to ask Ye He, the Imperial Preceptor suddenly stepped forward.
"Miss Ye's cuffs are truly exquisite."
The Imperial Advisor's gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on Ye Jintang's cuff.
Ye Jintang narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that the other party also knew Xuanmen techniques like himself, and it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't see something else.
Even the existence of space itself means this world is no longer the same as before, containing too many bugs. The fact that Ye Yu, despite having the author's identity, was able to transmigrate into this world is enough to prove this point.
