Chapter 17 Lies in earnest
Everyone's eyes in the hall were gathered on the deputy general.
Ye Qianlan's hands tightened in her sleeves. Could it be that the deputy general she trusted the most was also bribed by Yun Hao?
The reason Ye Qianlan thought this way was because the deputy general did not tell her the result first, but instead passed her and told the emperor directly. She had just said that no results were found, and the deputy general then slapped her in the face.
"Is this really done by His Highness the Crown Prince?" a minister muttered softly.
The prince was powerful and even though he was the object of doubt, the ministers in the court did not dare to talk casually. However, since the founding of the country, Emperor Zhou established a position as a censor.
In addition, the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates that censors should not be killed. Censors can even point out the faults of the emperor, let alone the crown prince of a country.
The third-rank censor Tang Zhong stepped out angrily, "Your Majesty, my son told me that when I was in danger, His Royal Highness began to pretend that his martial arts were not good and needed protection.
But, he saved General Ye at the most critical moment. Does this abnormal behavior mean that all this was planned by His Highness the Crown Prince?"
After hearing Tang Zhong's words, Ye Qianlan's hand tightened, because it was because of her that Yun Zhan was exposed.
I looked up at the person who was still upright, without any distractions or impatience, and the guilt in my heart became even deeper.
The Emperor of Great Zhou looked at Yun Zhan, then at Tang Zhong who was indignant, and finally looked at Ye Qianlan.
"General Ye, what do you think about this?"
Ye Qianlan didn't expect that the Emperor of Zhou would ask her first, and quickly stepped forward, "Report to Your Majesty, I think this matter is strange. Your Highness is the prince you personally decided on. He is talented and will not do such a rebellious thing."
Ye Qianlan did not say it clearly, but what kind of person is Emperor Zhou? He can tell me through it at a glance.
He understood what Ye Qianlan meant that if this matter was really done by Yun Zhan, how could someone catch the handle? At least it wouldn't be caught so easily.
Seeing that the Great Zhou Emperor seemed to believe Ye Qianlan's words, Tang Zhong quickly added, "General Ye, you have to pay attention to evidence when speaking. Let's not talk about the rest, but His Highness the Crown Prince began to conceal his martial arts skills. How do you explain it?"
"Why should she explain the matter about this palace?" Before Ye Qianlan could defend Yun Zhan's words, Yun Zhan's cold voice came.
Tang Zhong was very afraid of Yun Zhan, but his son was injured. He was just such a son, and he loved his son very much and didn't care much about it. He continued to speak aggressively.
"Then please let Your Highness explain it yourself."
Yun Zhan looked at Tang Zhong with an impeccable handsome face expressionlessly, "Mr. Tang, this palace is just outstanding in light skills. It is her life that she should not be able to save General Ye."
After hearing Yun Zhan's explanation, Ye Qianlan secretly smashed his tongue. It is beneficial for this guy to have a paralyzed face. At least he will not be suspicious at all when he lies seriously.
Also, Yun Zhan actually lies. She didn't expect that she thought he had always been disdainful of lying. It seems that she knew too little about him in her previous life.
After hearing Yun Zhan's words, the people of the prince's party began to do articles, using their knowledge to start a fierce verbal battle with Tang Zhong and others.
Emperor Zhou was so angry that his mind was hurt. He slapped the table with his palm, "Okay, stop arguing, I will leave this matter to General Ye Xiao to investigate."
"Your Majesty, this matter involves His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Crown Prince has just saved General Ye, so I am afraid it is inappropriate to hand it over to her." Tang Zhong risked his life to advise.
"Oh? Then according to Lord Tang's wishes, who should I thoroughly investigate this matter?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, the eldest prince is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and has always been famous. Why not let the eldest prince come and investigate the matter thoroughly." Tang Zhong looked selfless.
After hearing Tang Zhong's words, Emperor Zhou suddenly heard that he had such a son.
The Emperor of Great Zhou nodded, "Okay, then let the eldest prince thoroughly investigate this matter."
No one else had any objection. This matter involved the popular Prince. If one cannot do it well, he would lose his head. Such an errand can be pushed if he can.
Yun Hao was named, walked up from the civil servants in panic, knelt on his knees, and gave a big gift to Emperor Zhou.
"Father, my son is afraid that it is difficult to take this responsibility, so it is better..."
When the Great Zhou Emperor saw Yun Hao's terrified look, he was immediately displeased and interrupted him, "Do you want to resist the order?"
Yun Hao was so scared that he kowtowed quickly, "I dare not, I am abide by the sages."
Seeing that Yun Hao was so cautious and afraid of him, Emperor Zhou nodded with satisfaction, "Well, go."
Ye Qianlan's nails had pierced the palm of his palm. Damn it, and he had no choice but to defend himself, but Yun Hao had the opportunity to show his face.
In his previous life, Yun Hao took this as an opportunity to step by step to the eyes of Emperor Zhou.
"Report to Your Majesty, this matter involves the crown prince in our country. It is inappropriate to only hear the eldest prince. I am willing to assist the eldest prince in hearing the case together."
King Ye Nangong Ye left the line and volunteered.
After hearing this, Emperor Zhou nodded, "Wang Ye said it well, okay, since that's the case, you and the two of you will try this case together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nangong Ye bowed and thanked him and returned to his position.
After discussing how to appease the prince of southern Xinjiang, Emperor Zhou announced his resignation.
Because of the assassination incident, before finding out the truth, the group of people in southern Xinjiang temporarily cancelled all activities.
Back at the general's mansion, Xiaotao carefully changed the medicine for Ye Qianlan.
Yesterday, Ye Qianlan was wearing armor, so his injuries were not serious and he would recover in about half a month.
As soon as he finished the medicine, Murong Xue came over with her maid.
"Sister, how are your injuries? Let me see." Murong Xue asked with concern with her eyes red.
Ye Qianlan pulled his clothes and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, it's all minor injuries, it will be healed soon. But you are weak, so you must take good care of it."
Murong Xue took Ye Qianlan's hand and sat down, "Sister, sister, it's okay, sister is just worried about you, she was going to scare her sister to death yesterday."
Ye Qianlan calmly pulled out his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Sister, when it comes to yesterday, have you seen clearly who pushed Princess Yan to fall off the cliff?"
"Miss, what are you talking nonsense? Princess Yan clearly fell down by accident, and no one pushed her at all."
Murong Xue's personal maid Xiaohong said anxiously.
Ye Qianlan's beautiful phoenix eyes looked at Xiaohong like two cold lightning.
"So, did you see Princess Yan fall off the cliff with your own eyes?"
"I, I just heard everyone say this, so I naturally didn't see it." Xiaohong also reacted quickly enough and thought of an excuse to pass it over.
"Sister, Xiaohong has been following me since she was a child. She has been spoiled by her sister. She is also a little quicker. You must not be angry with her." After that, she looked at Xiaohong.
"Xiaohong, you dare to contradict the legitimate lady, you should be punished."
Xiaohong knelt on the ground with a frightened voice and begged, "Miss, it's my fault, please spare me this time."
If it were Ye Qianlan in his previous life, he would not have taken this matter seriously at all, and he would have turned it over. After all, she trusted and relied on Murong Xue so much, and even the servants around her were a bit overly optimistic.
But now, although it is not yet time to touch Murong Xue, this maid will naturally be punished if she can.
"Xiaohong, your master is my sister. My sister just said that she should be punished, so she must be punished. Although my sister has no blood relationship with me, I respect her very much.
I will never refute her words for you, a maid. Come on, drag down and hit twenty big shots."
