Chapter 88: Whether you are a prince or a princess, you can fight me if you don’t obey
Prince Yong'an took Ye Yizhen's arm and said emotionally, "Child, I am really your mother. Your parents are the ones who adopted you."
Ye Yizhen burst into tears and sobbed bitterly, "Mom, I have suffered so much these years. I have been bullied so badly."
Princess Yong'an hugged her and cried, "It's okay. You will have a good life in the future. As long as mother is here, no one will dare to bully you."
The mother and daughter recognized each other and cried bitterly in each other's arms. The scene was very touching and some people had tears in their eyes.
Yun Zheng looked at this scene coldly. She had known for a long time that Ye Yizhen had an unusual background, but she didn't expect that she was the daughter of Princess Yong'an and Prince Zhennan.
She squatted on the ground and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone else in the Zhennan Palace?"
Li Wuyang said calmly, "It's gone on the surface, but it's hard to say in secret."
Yun Zheng thought of the man in black he mentioned, and her heart moved. "Qin Que has a few good friends and loyal followers. The Prince of Zhennan's Palace naturally has some close confidants as well."
"What a coincidence! The King of Zhennan's surname is Ye, and the family that took Ye Yizhen in also has the surname Ye. Coincidence is inevitable."
Li Wuyang glanced at her, his mind working so fast, "Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Ye family after they turn the tables?"
Yun Zheng smiled and shook her head, "What are you afraid of? I have you."
He and Princess Yong'an don't have any sibling relationship, but she is very useful. Well, she is so confident.
The trust in her words comforted Li Wuyang, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
However, the people in Pingxi Marquis Mansion were ecstatic. They were saved. There is always a way out. Hahahaha.
Ye Yichen is the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Pingxi!
Princess Yong'an had cried enough, wiped her tears, and solemnly bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I only have this one daughter in my life. Please have mercy and pardon her."
The emperor said calmly, "She has irrefutable evidence."
Ye Yizhen opened her mouth to deny it, but was held down by Princess Yong'an.
"She was young and ignorant, without parental discipline, and was instigated by someone with ulterior motives, which is why she did something wrong. Your Majesty, please, for the sake of our brotherly relationship, forgive her this time. After all, she is your niece. Please show some mercy."
She plopped down on her knees, "Your Majesty, please."
The emperor looked at the civil and military officials with different expressions, then looked at the people who were silently shedding tears, and sighed silently.
"Forget it, for the sake of Second Princess, let's forgive her this time."
Princess Yong'an was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Yizhen, why don't you kowtow to your uncle?"
Ye Yizhen kowtowed several times, her forehead turning blue. "Thank you, Uncle Emperor, for your mercy."
The emperor reprimanded with an expressionless face, "From now on, behave yourself and don't make any more scandals, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you."
Ye Yizhen's body stiffened. "Yes, Uncle Emperor."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Stand aside. I need to take care of business."
Ye Yizhen ran to the side quickly, feeling very complicated. This was different from what she had imagined.
The emperor does not have much affection for his niece. What happened to his promise to love his niece as well as his family?
Yun Zheng's lips curled up slightly. She didn't think the emperor would love and care for her like an ordinary uncle, did she? He was a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor.
There may be a little bit of true affection, but not much, and it will not be wasted on a niece with whom he has never gotten along.
The emperor looked down at the beleaguered family and asked, "Marquis Pingxi, do you have anything else to say?"
Pingxi Hou secretly said in his heart, "Your Majesty, please spare us for the sake of... the Ye family."
Jiang Wenzhou called out anxiously, "Zhenzhen, please plead for us, quickly."
Ye Yizhen gritted her teeth and said softly, "Uncle Emperor, this is really a misunderstanding..."
The emperor looked at him with an inexplicable expression, "Are you sure you want to plead for the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion?"
"I..." Ye Yizhen looked embarrassed.
Princess Yong'an cleared her throat and said, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor interrupted her in time, "Second sister, please don't speak for now."
"Ye Yizhen, please continue."
After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Ye Yizhen bowed.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pingxi Marquisate and Jiang Wenzhou's wife. They also raised me. It is only natural that I hope they are well. Please be kind to me."
She tried her best to show her gentle and kind side, but she also couldn't let the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion hate her, launch a crazy counterattack, and drag her into the water.
The emperor pondered for a moment, "I give you two choices. One is to live and die with them, and the other is to cancel the engagement and cut all ties with the Jiang family. Your status has changed, and your ancestors for three generations have been wrong, so the marriage certificate is invalid."
Ye Yizhen's scalp went numb. Was this a test for her?
How should she choose?
She looked at the eldest princess, who shook her head slightly at her.
She looked at the people in Pingxi Marquis' Mansion again, and they all had pleading looks on their faces.
Ye Yizhen pleaded pitifully, "Uncle Emperor, can't you pardon them?"
The emperor looked solemn and said, "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. If you make a mistake, you must be punished. This is the rule."
"It also serves as a warning to everyone: anyone who dares to attack the royal family will not end well."
He looked impatient. "Choose. I'll count to three, three, two..."
He counted too quickly, and Ye Yizhen didn't have time to think about it. She said hastily, "I choose two."
A smile flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes. She made the wrong choice.
No, it should be said that this is a trap, and no matter which choice you make, it is wrong.
The emperor himself may be ruthless, but he will never like a heartless niece.
Live and die together? The emperor hates Jiang Wenzhou so much, and you still have deep feelings for him. Isn't this hurting him?
Jiang Wenzhou was shocked and angry, "Zhenzhen."
Looking at his hateful eyes, Ye Yizhen was startled and immediately tried to make amends, "Only if I leave can I be able to help the Marquis' Mansion and help manage it."
Jiang Wenzhou thought about it and felt that it made sense, and he calmed down a little.
Pingxi Hou looked at her deeply, with mixed feelings.
The emperor smiled faintly, "Since you have made your choice, I will grant you permission to dissolve the marriage..."
A clear voice suddenly rang out, "Your Majesty, I disagree."
It was Yun Zheng, she stood up. She came to stir up trouble!
With her around, it would be a daydream for Ye Yizhen to escape.
The emperor frowned slightly, "Jinyun, why are you joining in the fun?"
Yun Zheng's face was stern. "Either we cancel the engagement together, or she will be an accomplice and sink with the Pingxi Marquis Mansion."
No matter whether you are a prince or a princess, just fight if you don’t agree.
Ye Yizhen was full of arrogance and shouted, "Yun Zheng, this is not your place to speak."
Yun Zheng laughed coldly, "Oh, you're shaking now. What a villain who has succeeded. You don't think that what you did can be wiped out, do you?"
"Your Majesty, you let her go so easily. Aren't you afraid she'll do it again? She has experience planning a siege on the royal throne."
These words were so devastating that the emperor and all the civil and military officials changed their expressions on the spot.
"Yun Zheng." Ye Yizhen's face turned pale with fright.
Yun Zheng shouted, "She's anxious and guilty."
"Your Majesty, I have made contributions to the country, to the treasury and to the soldiers on the border. Ye Yizhen has done nothing and even participated in planning the siege of Your Majesty. If you simply allow her to break off the engagement, I will be heartbroken, and so will everyone else."
"Everyone should learn this from now on. As long as you besiege the imperial carriage, you can gain the emperor's favor."
Everyone: ...
emperor:……
Is this human language?!
