Ye Zhengqing is the only one left in the Ye family on the surface. Who else would care about him?
Could it be the mistress's family in the east of the city?
With this in mind, Ye Zhen sent someone to keep an eye on things in the east of the city.
After finishing the story about the man in black, the conversation returned to what had happened at the Ye family's residence. "Xing Ze, spread the word that Li Chenghai and Ye Zhengqing had been having an affair in Huangzhuang Mountain."
To save face, the Prime Minister's Mansion will surely say that Li Chenghai was drugged, thus covering up the scandal.
And they will inevitably point the finger at themselves.
Ye Zhen used to be cautious in everything she did and had many concerns, but now the children and nuns she cared about have been properly taken care of, and she has even made an appearance before the Emperor and Empress. Anyone who wants to touch them will have to think twice.
Xie Tingzhou also returned to the Eastern Palace to become the Crown Prince, and was quite favored by the Emperor and Empress.
She is now a princess with her own fiefdom, and her master recently set off for the martial world to find her some help.
Ye Zhen's concerns lessened considerably.
If the Prime Minister wants revenge, then let's fight.
After giving her instructions, she led her men to the Dali Temple.
Although Ye Zhengqing is dead, his murder of his maternal grandfather is not over. Ye Zhen wants him to be despised by the world even after his death.
As for Steward Ye, the Dali Temple needs to re-examine him. Things that were previously forbidden to him can now be said.
He was a witness to Ye Zhengqing and Li Chenghai's affair. If Prime Minister Li wants to deny it, he won't stand a chance!
Moreover, she had to make a big fuss about the matter before Prime Minister Li could make a move.
Madam Shen just sent her a message. Prime Minister Li is still at home and hasn't left yet. He'll probably be going to the Dali Temple soon.
Without delay, Ye Zhen rushed to the Dali Temple.
When she arrived, Xie Tingzhou, Prince Ning, and Helian Qing were all there.
Someone in the Dali Temple secretly released prisoners. The Dali Temple Minister reported the matter to the Emperor, and Xie Tingzhou took charge of the case.
Helian Qing was taken by Fu Guang to meet with Madam Shen, and then Madam Shen took him and Li Suihuan shopping.
Halfway through their shopping trip, news of Li Chenghai's accident spread. Madam Shen was secretly pleased, but outwardly she had to pretend to take Li Suihuan back to the mansion.
Helian Qing's worldview was shattered by what happened to the Ye family. He went straight to the Ye family after separating from Madam Shen. However, Fu Guang had been instructed by Ye Zhen in advance not to let the child see any of that nonsense.
Having missed out on getting firsthand information from the Ye family, Helian Qing staked out outside the Dali Temple to gather firsthand details after the interrogation.
Like him, Prince Ning was also there to seek out gossip.
Helian Qing sidled up to Ye Zhen and complained in a low voice, "Woman, you've gone too far. You didn't even invite me to do something so fun."
Ye Zhen would never admit that he had schemed against Ye Zhengqing. He explained, "Butler Ye asked me to go back and check on Ye Zhengqing. I don't know how things turned out this way."
Helian Qing didn't believe it at all.
But not wanting to embarrass his woman in public, he held onto Ye Zhen's sleeve tightly.
He's determined to be the first to get his hands on the melon this time.
Ye Zhen, thinking of his identity, glanced at him and took him to see the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
Prince Ning followed quietly. Prince Yun had recently acquired a geography book and was engrossed in reading it day and night. He wished he could personally visit all the places he had learned about in the book. He had written a thick book of annotations and barely paid any attention to Prince Yun.
With no one to play with, he was bored out of his mind and finally had some entertainment, so naturally he couldn't miss it.
So, Ye Zhen, followed by two tails, arrived in front of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
"My lord, Ye Zhengqing is dead. It will be difficult to find out the truth about how he killed Lord Ye. Butler Ye has been with him for decades and should know the inside story. I would like to ask you to re-examine Butler Ye."
"And I've only just realized that Xiao Zuo is in the Ye family. It seems that Butler Ye tricked me into going there to harm me. I implore you, sir, to investigate and bring me justice."
The Crown Prince had already instructed that this was merely a formality, and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review immediately ordered his men to bring Steward Ye out for public interrogation.
"You audacious scoundrel, why don't you confess the truth? Why did Ye Zhengqing murder his father? Where did he obtain the Cold Marrow Elixir? And why did you trick the princess into going to the Ye residence?"
Before Steward Ye came up, he was subjected to another round of torture. Seeing that the Crown Prince and Prince Yun were also present, he knew how much importance they attached to this case.
He hurriedly said, "Your Honor is innocent! I really didn't know that Master killed the Old Master. I only found out this time after Master admitted it."
That's enough!
With his words and Ye Laoye's medical records, the fact that Ye Zhengqing poisoned his own father has been confirmed.
The evidence Ye Zhen obtained from Wang was this medical record, but Wang did not know where the Cold Marrow Essence Guide came from.
Now that Ye Zhengqing is dead and has been stigmatized, Ye Zhen has avenged his maternal grandfather.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review then asked Steward Ye why he had tricked Ye Zhen into going to the Ye family.
Butler Ye dared not hide the truth and said that he was instructed by Li Chenghai.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review patiently persuaded him, "Li Chenghai is not a member of the Ye family, so why can he command you? Could it be that you are a traitor who betrays your own people?"
"No, no, I will listen to Lord Li. It's because Lord Li has a special relationship with my master. After my master was seriously injured, Lord Li made the decisions about things in the mansion."
Prince Ning couldn't wait any longer and interrupted, asking, "What special law? Are they really in that kind of relationship?"
Ye Zhengqing is much older than Li Chenghai, which Prince Ning finds hard to accept, feeling both disgusted and inexplicably curious.
Butler Ye nodded. "Lord Li occasionally stays overnight at the Ye family's residence."
Prince Ning imagined the scene of two grown men sleeping in each other's arms, and... ugh...
Just then, Xie Tingzhou said, "Do you know what the consequences are for lying during a criminal trial?"
While Ye Zhengqing was at the imperial estate, he was clearly entangled with the Su family. He was discovered and fled in panic, falling off a cliff in the mountains and breaking his leg.
Prince Ning also thought of this and hurriedly said, "That's right, isn't Ye Zhengqing with the Su family?"
