Ye Fuxun understood and lowered his head to look at Ji Ruobai: "In this case, mother has gone to the palace. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat with you today. You have to eat well alone."
"My child understands." Ji Ruobai nodded.
Seeing this, Ye Fuxun didn't waste any more time and followed the old eunuch into the palace.
When he was approaching the Queen Mother's Palace, the old eunuch suddenly stopped, hesitating on his face, and immediately said: "The Queen Mother is not in a good mood today. When the Princess goes in later, follow her.
If the Queen Mother asks anything, please answer truthfully. I think the Queen Mother will not do anything to you for the sake of King Chang'an."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me." Ye Fuxun responded with a smile.
After entering the palace, Ye Fuxun immediately saw the empress dowager sitting on a high seat with no expression but still able to tell that the corners of her mouth were pressed down, exactly as the old eunuch said.
"My granddaughter-in-law has met the emperor's grandmother, the emperor's grandmother Wan'an."
Ye Fuxun, neither humble nor arrogant, knelt down and saluted, his voice was clear and there was no hint of panic at all.
After hearing what she said, the Queen Mother immediately snorted coldly and went straight to the point: "Has the Princess heard the recent rumors?"
"My granddaughter-in-law is stupid, I hope the imperial grandmother will tell her." Ye Fuxun said.
When she said this, she did not get up because the Queen Mother did not ask her to get up. Obviously the Queen Mother was giving her power, so she would not do anything to make the Queen Mother angry.
"You don't know? You are the protagonist of the recent rumors. The princess really surprised the Ai family!" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, revealing a fierce intent.
"My granddaughter-in-law is very frightened. I don't know where the emperor's grandmother started talking about this!" Ye Fuxun pursed his lips and said.
After saying that, she looked at the Queen Mother's expression and wanted to solve this problem quickly, but then hesitated and said: "I don't know what the grandma is asking about. Is it about the personal relationship between grandson and a man?"
The Queen Mother sneered and slapped the table heavily with her hand, obviously angry.
Rumors spread about a royal wife's relationship with a man. For a woman, this is a time to ruin her reputation, let alone if the person is a member of the royal family.
"My granddaughter-in-law can explain this. The man's name is Jing Yu, and he is the owner of a medical clinic. Grandma, you know that my grandson-daughter-in-law loves to study medical skills. My grandson-daughter-in-law and him are just discussing with each other. It is absolutely nothing else.
Please ask the Royal Grandmother for advice!"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression eased slightly, but it could still be seen that she disliked this matter very much, otherwise she would not have called Ye Fuxun into the palace in such a hurry.
At the same time, Ji Yannuo, who learned that the Queen Mother summoned Ye Fulun to the palace, also hurried to the Queen Mother's palace.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was questioning Ye Fuxun, she hurriedly walked in, immediately opened her robe, and knelt down with Ye Fuxun: "My grandson has met the emperor's grandmother, and he knows everything that the emperor's grandmother asked the princess today.
"
"The person who heard the rumor is indeed the young owner of the medical clinic. When my grandson went to Jiangnan, I met him many times. He is a rigorous person.
The grandson has great trust in the princess, so the person who spread the scandal must have some ill intentions towards the princess." After Ji Yannuo finished speaking, he told the whole story word by word.
Ji Yannuo hurried over this time just to speak to Ye Fulun, and even said good things about Jing Yu.
Seeing that Ji Yannuo had said this, the Queen Mother finally felt relieved. She also acted in a manner that was detrimental to the royal majesty, so she asked a few questions and let her go.
After leaving the main hall, Ye Fuxun looked at Ji Yannuo who was walking in front of her, pursed her lips and stopped: "Thank you for what happened today."
Hearing this, Ji Yannuo paused, turned around and asked, "How can I thank you? What's the point of thanking you?"
Although he also said nice things for Jing Yu, the truth is that in the end, Ye Fuxun did not do anything to feel sorry for, he just told the truth, how can he be grateful.
Hearing what Ji Yannuo said, Ye Fuxun suddenly tightened his hands and said nothing.
The two were in a stalemate here, and the situation on the Queen Mother's side was immediately spread by someone who was interested.
In the first palace of the East Palace, Li Xiyao was being applied with kodan by the palace maid.
"Does your Majesty like this color?" The palace maid adjusted the color and then looked at Li Xiyao and asked.
If you don't ask, maybe Li Xiyao will cause something else.
The palace maid felt miserable, wondering why her life was so miserable and she was sent to serve someone like Li Xiyao.
Li Xiyao raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and then said favorably. At this time, a man came in from outside the palace and whispered a few words in Li Xiyao's ear. Li Xiyao immediately showed anger.
"Get out! Get everyone out of here!"
The palace officials didn't know what Li Xiyao heard, so they suddenly became furious and did not dare to stay for a moment longer for fear of getting into trouble, so they hurriedly left.
But the person who originally whispered did not leave. He looked at Li Xiyao and asked, "Do you have any other plans?"
The reason why Li Xiyao was furious was because she learned that the Queen Mother did not punish Ye Fuxun, and Ji Yannuo, as the prince, went to defend Ye Fuxun, so she was furious.
Now listening to these words, Li Xiyao's black eyes flashed with murderous intent.
There can only be one female mistress in this East Palace, so this must be her!
How could Ye Fuxun compare with her? How could her uninfluenced natal family pave the way for Ji Yannuo?
The more Li Xiyao thought about it, the more she realized that this was true. She wanted to become a princess and it was not just a matter of days.
In this case, let’s move this matter forward!
Li Xiyao laughed coldly and immediately gave orders.
Immediately, the man heard the sound and left, secretly finding the killer he had contacted early in the morning and preparing to kill Ye Fuxun.
In the palace, Ye Fuxun saw that Ji Yannuo kept looking at him but said nothing. Ye Fuxun finally sighed: "If you have something to do, please go to work first. I have returned to the palace."
After saying that, Ye Fuxun took the carriage and left.
Ji Yannuo kept looking at her back, and suddenly remembered that Ye Fuxun had never called herself a concubine in front of him before...
Ye Fuxun was sitting in the carriage, thinking about the fact that she was framed. Speaking of it, she had always thought that the pure would become pure and the turbid would become turbid.
But now it seems that is not the case.
If Ji Yannuo hadn't come to speak for her today, I'm afraid the Queen Mother wouldn't have let her leave so easily, and the interrogation wouldn't have happened so quickly.
But on the other hand, Ji Yannuo believed in himself, and Ye Fuxun was also happy.
Just as she was thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Ye Fuxun was almost thrown out of the carriage.
"What happened?" Ye Fuxun asked loudly.
When she finished speaking, she heard the sound of weapons clashing together. The guard heard Ye Fuxun's words and resisted while saying: "Princess, there is an assassin!"
Hearing this, Ye Fuxun's heart tightened.
He quickly took down a sword hanging in the carriage, and then jumped out of the carriage.
Immediately, she saw a group of masked assassins, and they were ruthless when they attacked.
