After returning to Yedu, Yun Wanyue and Ye Beilan entered the palace without even having time to go back to the palace to rest.
At this time, Ye Fengtian was already waiting for them.
Waiting for them was not only Ye Fengtian, but also several high-status ministers in the court.
Ye Fengtian looked at his three sons with a cold face and said nothing.
At this time, King An spoke first: "My son came to apologize to my father for not being able to successfully complete the sacrifice to heaven."
At that moment, a minister said: "What crime did King An commit? It's not you who was negligent and made mistakes!"
Yun Wanyue looked at this person. Needless to say, this person was a member of King An's party.
Ye Fengtian cast his eyes on Ye Beilan.
When Ye Beilan knelt down, Yun Wanyue also knelt down. At this time, Ye Beilan said: "Father, it is my son's fault, and I am willing to bear it, but this matter is very strange, there must be someone."
Intentional arson.”
"King Lan, are you trying to shirk your responsibility by saying this?" someone said.
Because Ye Beilan had no intention of forming a party for personal gain before, no one among the courtiers present could speak to Ye Beilan at this time.
Ye Jinchao also knelt down: "Father, there were thieves who attacked at night that day, and the people guarding the temple were all lured away by these night attackers. Otherwise, such a big mistake would not have happened.
King Lan made an unintentional mistake."
Ye Fengtian looked at Ye Beilan and said coldly: "No matter what, this matter has nothing to do with King Lan."
"Also, Princess Lan, when you were present, why didn't you help Prince Lan discover the problem?" Ye Fengtian asked again.
Yun Wanyue felt that this question was really unreasonable. It seemed as if Ye Fengtian was trying to excuse his son.
Ye Beilan didn't find the problem, so is it possible that she still needs to find the problem?
What's more, if she hadn't smelled it, she and Ye Beilan might have died inside!
Yun Wanyue was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to question him face to face. Instead, she tried her best to turn her eyes red to make herself look pitiful.
Then, Yun Wanyue whispered: "Father, when I smelled the smell of tung oil, someone deliberately set the fire. But when I smelled it, the fire had already started."
"So you escaped, but no one cared about the eternal lamp in the temple. Do you know that the eternal lamp is related to the country and the country at night?" King An asked coldly, as if he just knew what was going on inside.
Seeing King An's righteous and awe-inspiring look.
Yun Wanyue thought to herself, if this happened to King An, he would probably run faster than anyone else.
If we don't escape, are we going to die together inside?
"Father, although Beilan is my younger brother, since he did something wrong this time, please ask Father to punish him severely!" King An made no secret of his hostility towards Ye Beilan.
At this time, someone nearby also echoed.
"If the punishment from heaven intensifies because of this, and the rain continues all the time, King Lan will be blamed for everything! If Your Majesty does not punish King Lan, it will not be enough for the people to be angry."
Ye Jinchao was still begging Ye Beilan: "Father, before I investigate this matter clearly, please be more tolerant. Beilan definitely did not intentionally neglect it."
"If anyone pleads for him, let's accept the punishment together!" Ye Fengtian said angrily with a stern face.
After hearing this, King An had a somewhat proud look in his eyes.
Let's see what Ye Beilan will do to punish him in the future! This time, he can be regarded as cutting off Ye Jinchao's powerful arm. It can be said that he has won a great victory.
Ye Fengtian said: "Come here, imprison King Lan and Princess Lan in the Ancestral Temple together. They cannot return to the capital without the emperor's order!"
When Yun Wanyue heard this, she felt a little unhappy.
If Ye Beilan was just sent there alone, she would definitely be fine with it.
But a place like the Imperial Ancestral Temple has a strong gloomy air and it's the rainy season. If she were imprisoned there, she would definitely suffer a lot.
Besides, it will also make parents worry.
Yun Wanyue's heart was on fire.
But he still spoke: "Father."
"What? Do you have any objections to Gu's punishment?" Ye Fengtian looked at Yun Wanyue and asked.
Yun Wanyue said quickly: "I don't dare. It's just that when I was guarding the temple, I once had a dream. Someone in the sky told me that the rain would stop in three days."
"I think God was moved by our sincerity. If the rain really stops in three days, then this fire will not have a big impact on the sacrifice to heaven. I hope my father can take it lightly." Yun Wanyue
continued.
Ye Beilan never expected that Yun Wanyue would suddenly say such words.
He frowned and whispered: "Princess, you can't talk nonsense!"
In Ye Beilan's opinion, the punishment of being imprisoned in the Ancestral Temple was only temporary, but if he fabricated the divine decree, he would add to his crime.
Yun Wanyue looked at Ye Fengtian with clear eyes.
If others said such things, Ye Fengtian might not believe it, but when he saw Yun Wanyue's eyes that looked exactly like Kang Ling'er's, he felt a little dazed for a moment.
He said: "I can grant you three days of grace, but you have to know that if the rain does not stop after three days, you will be adding to your sins."
Yun Wanyue insisted: "Please allow me, father, three days of grace."
Ye Fengtian nodded, looked at everyone and said, "Since Princess Lan has received the heavenly decree, let's wait and see again in three days."
"If the rain really stops in three days, not only will Gu not punish you, but he will also reward you heavily!" Ye Fengtian said.
"As for these three days, you will return to Prince Lan's Mansion and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" Ye Fengtian ordered.
"yes."
"According to the decree."
Ye Fengtian said this, so of course others had no objections.
Even King An felt that it would be impossible for the rain to stop in three days based on the current celestial conditions.
So I didn't take Yun Wanyue's words to heart at all. I just wanted to wait three days to see the miserable situation of Ye Beilan and Yun Wanyue.
If it makes them more miserable, then waiting three more days is no big deal.
Everyone left one after another.
Ye Jinchao looked at Ye Beilan with heartache and whispered: "Fourth brother, you have been wronged by this incident."
Ye Beilan said: "No problem."
"Don't worry, even if my father asks you to go to the Ancestral Temple, I will bring you back as soon as possible." Ye Jinchao promised.
"But... what is the basis for what my siblings said that the rain will stop in three days?" Ye Jinchao asked doubtfully.
Yun Wanyue immediately said: "It's just like what I said, I dreamed about it in my dream."
Ye Jinchao said: "If that's the case, then you are really too impulsive. I'm afraid it won't end well in three days."
Yun Wanyue said very respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but I am sure about this matter."
When Ye Jinchao saw Yun Wanyue like this, he couldn't tell for a moment whether Yun Wanyue was blindly confident or whether the rain would really stop in three days.
