Chapter 177: Turning the tables?
Ye Yizhen's mind went blank and she tried desperately to dodge, but she couldn't move on the rockery. She accidentally stepped on a protruding stone, slipped, and fell off the rockery.
She fell face down, terrified, bleeding profusely, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted from the pain.
Several dark shadows flashed and looked coldly at the two people who had fainted. "Take them all away."
Just as the shadow was taking the man away, an angry shout suddenly rang out, "Stop."
As the surroundings brightened, a group of fully armed guards appeared holding lanterns.
"Who dares to mess around in the Princess's Mansion? Capture them all."
The leading man in black picked up the token and held it high. "The Mingjing Division is investigating this case. Anyone who dares to interfere will be killed without mercy."
The guards were stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at their master behind them, Princess Yong'an.
Princess Yong'an was filled with anger. "Guyu, what have you done to my daughter? Let her go."
Guyu said calmly, "She fell off the rockery by herself, so it's not anyone else's fault."
Princess Yong'an shouted angrily, "You deliberately shot arrows at her simultaneously, forcing her to fall off the rockery. If anything happens to my daughter, I will fight you to the death."
Guyu remained indifferent, "Please do as you please."
When they, the Mingjing Division, handle cases, they only need to report to the emperor and ignore everyone else.
Princess Yong'an was very angry, but there was nothing she could do to him.
What kind of monsters are those in the Mingjing Division? They have no humanity at all.
It's all Li Wuyang's fault! He doesn't care about his relatives, and the same goes for the people he brings with him!
"You came to my house late at night to arrest someone without even saying hello. What case is this?"
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't let you go even if it costs me my life."
Guyu said with a straight face, "We were ordered to capture a wanted criminal from the imperial court. After several investigations, we followed the clues and came here."
"What we didn't expect was that the imperial criminal actually had a night meeting with Ye Yizhen..."
Princess Yong'an was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, "You're talking nonsense. I'm innocent and simple, you're framing me."
"Guyu, you've already taken four hundred thousand taels and you're still not satisfied? You're not done blackmailing me, are you? You can't be so shameless. I'm going to the palace to file a complaint!"
She was very emotional, but Guyu was not affected at all. Mingjingsi handled countless cases, many of which involved high-ranking officials.
Are you trying to turn the tables?
He pulled out the dead-dog-like man in black and asked, "Princess, do you know this man?"
Princess Yong'an took a serious look at him, then shook her head and denied it, "I don't know him."
Gu Yu remained silent. "We've been keeping an eye on this man for quite some time. He's an old subordinate of the Prince of Zhennan. He's been showing up at Ye Yizhen's boudoir late at night time and kneeling at her feet, calling her 'master.' How do we explain this?"
Princess Yong'an's expression changed slightly. "Old subordinates of the Prince of Zhennan? Did you make a mistake?"
Guyu's eyes were full of mockery. "Why don't you ask why we are targeting him?"
Princess Yong'an's heart tightened, "Why?"
Gu Yu's expression was serious. "He was causing trouble for the government, alienating the relationship between the emperor and his ministers, instigating the students to besiege Princess Jinyun's mansion, and was the mastermind behind the assassination of the princess."
He demanded aggressively, "Princess, was it you who gave the order? Or was it Ye Yizhen who ordered it?"
Princess Yong'an gasped and quickly distanced herself from the matter.
"I am the high and mighty eldest princess, the emperor's biological sister, of noble status. Who is Princess Jinyun? I don't even bother to glance at her, let alone spend any time on her."
"My daughter is even less likely to do that. She is violent and incompetent. She is a brainless person and doesn't have such sophisticated means."
Guyu's eyes were slightly cold, "If you have anything to say, go back to the Imperial Prison and tell them. Take them away."
Princess Yong'an stood in front and said, "No, I won't allow it."
Gu Yu waved his right hand, "Then take them all away. Anyone who dares to resist will be executed for treason."
Once this crime is brought out, who would dare to take action? Nine clans of the family will be executed.
Princess Yong'an's guards all dropped their weapons.
The eldest princess was furious. "Alright, I want Li Wuyang to give me an explanation!"
"Confess?" Guyu sneered, "The prince has ordered this to be disclosed to the Prime Minister."
Let them fight each other!
"yes."
Princess Yong'an's face changed drastically. The Prime Minister was forced to leave the court because of this incident, and the loss was heavy. If she knew who was responsible, would she forgive the culprit?
"You're not allowed to go, you don't, do you hear me?!"
But no one paid any attention to her.
The Prime Minister received a secret letter from the Mingjingsi and his expression changed slightly after reading it.
"What? The person who planned all this is Ye Yizhen? The eldest daughter-in-law of the Pingxi Marquis? The only daughter of Princess Yong'an and Prince Zhennan? She has such a talent?"
He couldn't believe it. In his impression, Ye Yichen was a clever and resourceful woman who was very good at seducing men. As an orphan, she squeezed out the wealthy daughter of the Yun family and married the son of the Marquis of Pingxi.
His eldest son was filled with resentment. "This bitch is hiding behind us and using us as a knife. We must not let her go."
While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, their family was plotted against by a woman!
The Prime Minister waved the secret letter with a gloomy face, "She still has a group of the old subordinates of the Prince of Zhennan."
The scheme he set up was taken advantage of by Ye Yizhen.
He suffered such a great loss and was extremely angry, but he still had some rationality.
His eldest son was stunned for a moment. "She clearly has old subordinates, but she has been an orphan in the Pingxi Marquis's mansion for more than ten years. What on earth do they want to do?"
This is also what the emperor wants to know.
This time, Ye Yizhen was imprisoned in the Sky Prison, and she was in a coma for two days before she woke up.
I have to say that she was very lucky. She fell from the rockery, was covered with bruises, and had several broken bones, but she didn't die.
Upon hearing that she had woken up, the emperor went to see her in person.
Ye Yizhen was lying on the straw, her face unrecognizable, covered in blood, and in a miserable state.
She felt pain all over her body, her feet, chest, face, everything hurt, but the most painful part was her collarbone, it was broken!
Except for her eyeballs, she can't move anything else. Could she be paralyzed?
No, she's not that unlucky!
Hearing footsteps, she struggled to open her eyelids, and seeing the emperor's face clearly, she was shocked. "Uncle, save me, I didn't do anything, but I was caught by the Mingjing Division. You must punish them severely."
The emperor looked at her coldly. She seemed gentle and well-behaved, but she was actually cruel and ruthless behind the scenes.
"Tell me, you've been lurking in the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion for over a decade. What exactly do you want?"
Ye Yizhen's heart felt as if it was grabbed by an unknown big hand, and the hairs on her back stood up.
She smiled innocently, "Your Majesty, what do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
The emperor looked down at her and asked abruptly, "Are you looking for the imperial decree?"
What shocking secrets are hidden between her and the Zhennan Palace? The truth is about to come to light!
Ye Yizhen's pupils trembled violently.
