Chapter 87 Ye Yizhen's Background Revealed
Everything else is a minor matter, but besieging the imperial carriage is a major taboo for the emperor, and the emperor's suspicion will never let go of those involved.
Li Wuyang said loudly, "This is the confession of Ye's personal maid. It clearly records that Ye Yizhen knew about it in advance and discussed the siege plan with them. She also fantasized that if she succeeded, she would go to Qianzhen Pavilion and Baocui Pavilion to plunder rare treasures and take them for herself."
Once you enter the Heavenly Prison, even an iron man can pry open your mouth.
The people were in an uproar, pointing and saying, "This woman looks so delicate and weak, but I didn't expect her to be so bad."
"How good can a woman who had an affair before marriage be? She's just good at pretending. I almost got fooled."
"Qianzhen Pavilion and Baocui Pavilion are both properties of Princess Jinyun's family. She has been eyeing them for a long time."
"You still say you didn't know anything? Who would believe me, you vicious, evil woman?"
Ye Yizhen was filled with hatred and loudly retorted, "Your Majesty, this is not true. The Ninth Prince is biased towards Yun Zheng because Yun Zheng is his."
She deliberately spoke in an ambiguous manner, leaving room for imagination.
The emperor looked at Li Wuyang calmly, then looked at Yun Zheng even calmer, without any reaction at all.
Li Wuyang looked at Ye Yizhen coldly, as if he were a dead person. "How dare you challenge me? Who gave you the courage? Is it the man in black who sneaks into your boudoir every night?"
Ye Yizhen's face changed drastically when a shocking revelation came out. She was terrified. How could he know about the man in black? "You...you're talking nonsense."
Jiang Wenzhou's face looked unhappy, but he believed in Zhenzhen's character. She loved him so much that she would never betray him.
Li Wuyang's expression was as indifferent as snow. "You should look in the mirror and see your complexion."
Yun Zheng immediately came to her aid, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Wow, you're panicking."
Ye Yizhen's face turned pale and she was trembling all over. "No, Your Majesty..."
The emperor shouted impatiently, "If you don't repent, I will punish you..."
A female voice suddenly rang out, "Your Majesty, please show mercy."
Several guards escorted a noble-looking woman over, who looked anxious.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps forward to greet her. "Second sister, why are you here?"
His attitude was quite respectful and his tone was intimate.
Yun Zheng quietly stood back beside Li Wuyang and asked quietly, "Who is this?"
Li Wuyang's eyes were filled with mystery, and his tone was extremely indifferent. "The Emperor's second sister, Princess Yong'an, married the Prince of Zhennan in order to stabilize the border situation. Eight years later, the Prince of Zhennan suddenly died, leaving no children and abolishing the kingdom."
The Ye family, the Prince of Zhennan, has guarded Qiannan for generations. After there were no direct descendants, there was no more Prince of Zhennan Palace.
"After the imperial court sent officials to take over the Qiannan region, they welcomed Princess Yong'an back to the court and conferred her the title of Grand Princess."
In just two sentences, a magnificent history was passed over.
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled around and she thought of a lot of things.
"Princess Yong'an has made great contributions to the Great Qi. No wonder the Emperor respects her so much."
Li Wuyang played with the handle of the wheelchair and spoke lightly.
"She grew up with the Emperor and has been very caring towards him since he was young. The two of them have a deep bond."
"Back then, there was friction between the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Great Qi Kingdom on the Qiannan border. The Ye family, who guarded Qiannan, had an ambiguous attitude. The late emperor planned to choose one of the princesses to marry into the family. However, none of the princesses were willing to marry far away on the border, and the situation was so chaotic."
"Finally, Princess Yong'an stepped forward and expressed her willingness to marry to Qiannan. Her only request was that the Fourth Prince, now His Majesty, be allowed to attend court and participate in government affairs."
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows. This was the result of following the emperor. Princess Yong'an was quite capable.
"That is to say, he made great contributions to the emperor's succession to the throne."
Li Wuyang nodded slightly.
Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Why did the Prince of Zhennan... die suddenly?"
Li Wuyang looked at her deeply, with an ambiguous meaning.
Yun Zheng pursed her lips and understood.
The palace's intrigues and power struggles are extremely cruel, so she'd better not get involved.
She smiled and changed the subject, "You don't seem to have any feelings for her?"
Li Wuyang rubbed her eyebrows. She was still too young. How could there be any family affection in the royal family?
"When she got married, I was just born. After she returned to the court, she built a women's temple in Jinshan, a suburb of Beijing. She lived there all year round and didn't interfere in worldly affairs. However, she would show up during the New Year and other festivals, and the emperor also gave her the greatest respect."
Yun Zheng was silent for a moment, "He is a smart man."
He avoided the emperor's suspicion, was free from constraints, and had dignity. As long as he did not rebel, he would enjoy honor throughout his life.
While the two were talking, Princess Yong'an had already finished exchanging greetings with the emperor and quickly got down to business.
"Your Majesty, I have come here on important matters."
The emperor asked with concern, "What's the matter?"
Princess Yong'an's gaze swept across the faces of the people in the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion, and then fixed on Ye Yizhen's face. She looked at her for a long time, not knowing what she was looking for.
"Are you Ye Yizhen?"
Ye Yizhen looked uneasy, "Yes, I've met the Princess."
Princess Yong'an bent down and helped her up. "Do you have a gold locket with the words 'Suisui Ping' engraved on it?"
Ye Yizhen took off the gold locket from her neck and asked, "Is this the one?"
Princess Yong'an took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, her eyes gradually turning red.
"Yes, this is it. I never thought that I would be able to see this piece of gold lock in my lifetime."
Ye Yizhen spoke cautiously, "Princess, what's wrong with this gold locket?"
Princess Yong'an pointed at her wrist and asked, "Do you have a plum blossom-shaped birthmark there?"
Ye Yizhen was stunned. "How did you know?"
Princess Yong'an couldn't hold back any longer, so she pulled her over and quickly lifted her sleeves, revealing a plum blossom birthmark to everyone's sight.
Everyone was shocked and confused. What was going on?
Yun Zheng frowned slightly, "I have a very bad feeling."
Li Wuyang's expression was calm, "I lured the snake out of its hole, and it finally showed its head."
It seemed as if everything was within his expectations.
What? Yun Zheng was startled, her eyes widening as she stared at Princess Yong'an.
On the other side, Princess Yong'an hugged Ye Yichen tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"Sui Sui, my child, I am your biological mother."
Everyone was shocked. Wasn’t Ye Yizhen an orphan whose parents had both passed away?
Ye Yizhen froze. "How is this possible? I have parents. You must be mistaken."
Princess Yong'an held her tightly, her tone firm, "There is no mistake, you are my daughter."
The emperor's expression was somewhat complicated. "Second sister, this matter is of great importance and needs to be carefully investigated."
Princess Yong'an was very emotional. "How could I not recognize my own daughter? When I gave birth, someone plotted against me, causing a difficult labor. After all the hardship, I gave birth to a stillborn baby. But not long ago, I discovered that I gave birth to a healthy child!"
"My child was switched."
"And this child is Ye Yizhen."
There was an uproar at the scene. Ye Yizhen's life story was so bizarre?!
