Ye Yan'er looked at Chu Yunning's leaving figure and clenched her fingertips tightly. According to her plan, Chu Yunning should be sent back home at this moment.
After successive failures, Ye Yaner felt sad but had no choice.
Coming to the hall, the eldest princess held a bright blue baby in her arms with a loving smile on her face.
Looking at the baby, Chu Yunning subconsciously thought of Chu'er.
"Thank you all for attending the 100-day banquet..."
Before he finished speaking, a scream came from the crowd.
Everyone followed their gaze and saw that it was Ye Yaner standing on the steps of the corridor dancing gracefully.
"Isn't this Concubine Ye from Prince Xiao's Mansion?"
"How could Concubine Ye dance in public?"
Everyone's attention was attracted, and no one noticed the eldest princess's words. The eldest princess frowned and called Yan'er a few words.
Ye Yaner, on the other hand, seemed to be possessed by a demon, concentrating on dancing, fluttering her sleeves, twisting her waist, standing on tiptoes, spinning and jumping.
Chu Yunning stood not far away and smiled at this scene. When he touched Ye Yan'er's hair just now, he took advantage of her not preparedness and inserted the needle tip with the hallucinogenic drug into Ye Yan'er's acupuncture point. He calculated the time and found that the attack happened to be now.
Psychedelics can bring out the most extreme sides of a person's mind.
Ye Yaner secretly contacted the dance a while ago, and she danced it specifically for Prince Xiao. It was a boudoir kind of fun.
So I subconsciously regarded the hall as a boudoir.
She couldn't help but started to dance, even under the astonished eyes of everyone, her eyes became blurred, and her long and slender jade fingers were placed flexibly on her belt.
"hiss!"
"What is Concubine Ye doing?"
"I really can't tell. Concubine Ye, who is usually well-behaved, gentle and generous, can be so open-minded. What's the difference between her and my sister!"
The men present were stunned, staring at Ye Yan'er's exposed fair skin, while the ladies had expressions of disdain on their faces, wishing they could cover their eyes to prevent them from witnessing this dirty and dirty scene.
"Concubine Ye!" The eldest princess said with a livid face. She held a banquet today not to embarrass Ye Yan'er.
Ye Yaner turned a deaf ear and continued to go her own way.
"Snapped!"
When King Xiao saw this scene, his blood suddenly surged and he rushed over with a lunge and slapped Ye Yan'er hard on the cheek. Ye Yan'er couldn't bear it and staggered to the ground.
After a while, Ye Yaner regained consciousness, covering her numb and painful face, and looked around confusedly.
Looking down, Ye Yaner's brain exploded, and she screamed, covering her thin clothes.
"Ah, help!"
Prince Xiao took off his coat and put it on Ye Yan'er, feeling impatient with Ye Yan'er for the first time.
"My lord, you must make the decision for me. I was framed."
Ye Yaner clutched Prince Xiao's arm tightly, feeling angry and annoyed. She was Prince Xiao's side concubine and had a distinguished status. How could she be ignored by a group of people?
Across the crowd, Ye Yaner immediately saw Chu Yunning with a proud smile on her lips.
"It was the princess who harmed me!"
Ye Yan'er was furious. She pointed at Chu Yunning not far away, biting her lips and crying until she cried: "My lord, it is the princess who is harming me. Please do justice to Yan'er."
King Xiao glanced at Chu Yunning with a complicated expression.
"Did I harm you?" Chu Yunning walked over slowly and asked calmly: "Is there any evidence?"
"I..." Ye Yan'er recalled: "You must have sprinkled some medicine on me when I came out just now, to deliberately embarrass me. Princess, I have always respected you, and even gave you the power of housekeeping.
Well, why can't you tolerate me?"
Ye Yaner cried miserably, and she had a good reputation before, so a group of people believed that Ye Yaner was framed.
"Princess Xiao, why are you so petty? Concubine Ye is usually gentle and kind, and has never done anything out of the ordinary. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you should not make fun of your daughter's family's reputation!"
The eldest princess reprimanded Princess Xiao earnestly, and then said to Prince Xiao: "You should also discipline Princess Xiao well, and you should not let her do whatever she wants."
Public opinion is gradually being led astray, and everyone is accusing Chu Yunning of evil thoughts.
Chu Yunning said with a sarcastic smile: "It turns out that you don't need to pay attention to evidence when judging a case. You only listen to one side of the story. Just now, broken jade was like this, and now it is like this. How did I use it to let a normal person get it in front of everyone?"
crazy?"
"Auntie!" Ye Yan'er knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the eldest princess, and burst into tears: "I beg aunt to find an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Yan'er, and then search the princess' body. There will definitely be clues left, and Yan'er's innocence will be cleared.
"
The eldest princess nodded: "What you said makes sense, come here, let me search for you!"
"Wait a minute!" Chu Yunning's fair little face glowed with a cold light, and she tilted her chin up: "I am the late emperor's personal concubine, and I'm on the royal jade plate. The eldest princess can search whenever she wants, but do I care about the royal face?
"
"Don't fool me with your tricks. If you don't feel guilty, what are you afraid of searching for?"
The eldest princess didn't take Chu Yunning's words seriously. She was even eager to find out something so that she could find reasons to punish Chu Yunning.
"The eldest princess is so unreasonable, then I will have no choice but to die to make my determination clear!"
Chu Yunning suddenly pulled out a hairpin and pointed it at her throat: "Everyone must bear witness, it was the eldest princess who despised the royal family and forced the current princess to death!"
The eldest princess was so angry that a hint of fishy sweetness came out of her mouth, and she gritted her teeth and endured it.
"you!"
Chu Yunning, on the other hand, looked desperate, closed her eyes resolutely, and raised the hairpin high.
There were exclamations from the crowd, and the timid ones even closed their eyes.
"Princess, why bother? If you have anything to say, please tell me."
"It seems that the princess has really been wronged."
The eldest princess was not sure for a moment when she heard this. She was so angry that she did not dare to let Princess Xiao die in her own house.
"Wait!" the eldest princess shouted urgently.
Chu Yunning suddenly opened his eyes and stopped moving.
"Auntie!" Ye Yan'er was unwilling to give in, and Chu Yunning almost died.
Why did it stop?
"You said that the princess framed you and wanted to search her. I can follow you. If it turns out that she is not Princess Xiao, what should you do?"
No matter how much the eldest princess likes Ye Yan'er, she will not challenge the ancestral etiquette for her sake.
Being forced into this situation, Ye Yaner could only go downstairs and slowly said: "If nothing is found on the princess, I am willing to slap the princess fifty times in public to make amends!"
The eldest princess looked at Chu Yunning again.
"If anything is found, I am willing to give up my position as princess!"
When Chu Yunning thought about Ye Yan'er slapping herself later, little flames flashed in her eyes.
I get excited just thinking about it.
The stakes are not small, and everyone is eagerly waiting to see who will win.
No matter who wins, it will be Prince Xiao's Mansion who is embarrassed.
Prince Xiao didn't say a word from beginning to end, and his complicated eyes fell on Chu Yunning.
When she raised the hairpin just now, his heart suddenly moved.
It’s actually worrying!
Prince Xiao couldn't believe his thoughts. He would actually worry about Chu Yunning instead of Ye Yan'er.
"Before the inspection, I have a small request. Let Mrs. Yushi and Miss Zhang search themselves first."
Chu Yun Ning couldn't trust the maid of the eldest princess's house.
The eldest princess was slightly stunned. She originally planned to ask the maid to put something on Chu Yunning in advance, but she didn't expect that Chu Yunning was so cunning and broke her plan in advance.
Mrs. Li, the imperial censor, was a very upright person and had no connection with the Chu family. Miss Zhang was even more famous for her uprightness.
If these two people search, everyone will be convinced.
The eldest princess had no reason not to agree, so she had no choice but to nod and leave everything to fate.
Mrs. Li, the imperial censor, did not refuse. She walked to Chu Yunning and said she was offended. She stretched out her hand and started groping Chu Yunning. Every piece of jewelry was removed, not even the sachet was left, and even the gaps under her fingernails were removed.
Checked very carefully.
Then Miss Zhang checked again and found nothing.
Finally, there was the maid sent by the eldest princess's palace. Under everyone's eyes, she found nothing.
The eldest princess glanced at Ye Yan'er and suddenly felt that this woman was a little helpless and only wanted to cause trouble, thus ruining today's banquet in vain.
"Aunt, please ask the imperial doctor to check." Ye Yaner vowed that the results would be found.
"Go and ask for Dr. Zhang and Dr. Wen."
Half an hour later the two imperial doctors came as scheduled.
They all checked the jewelry and sachets on the tray.
"The sachet is just an ordinary pollen-flavored fragrance, and there is no residual drug found on the hairpin."
"This is absolutely impossible!" Ye Yan'er shouted, pointing at Chu Yunning: "She must be hiding."
Chu Yunning curled her lips and sneered, stretching out her five fingers for the imperial doctor to check.
The imperial doctor said: "Princess Xiao's hands are very clean and there is nothing wrong with her."
It would be strange to be able to find out. The silver needle has long been integrated into one body after entering the body, and it is impossible to find out as time goes by.
If Ye Yan'er had consulted the imperial physician to check her pulse as soon as possible, she might have been able to find out some clues.
But now, the evidence has long disappeared.
"Can you please help the two imperial doctors to see if Concubine Ye is under too much stress today and is going crazy?"
Chu Yunning pointed at Ye Yan'er with a worried look.
"I'm not crazy about gains and losses. You must have used some shameful method..."
"Yan'er!" Prince Xiao finally couldn't stand it anymore. He had also heard about the broken jade. He believed that Chu Yunning would not be stupid enough to take an unlucky piece of jade as a gift.
Ye Yan'er looked blankly at Prince Xiao's strange expression, her heart sank, and she shouted softly: "Does the prince not believe that Yan'er was framed?"
Chu Yunning said: "Why bother to say more, can't we just check it out?"
The imperial doctor put his fingertips on Ye Yan'er's wrist and frowned. After a while, he took his hand back and said, "Concubine Ye has been overly worried recently. She may be hallucinating, so she acted inappropriately."
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Princess Xiao was really wronged!"
"Concubine Ye Fang is clearly suffering from symptoms of madness!"
"The charming look on your face just now doesn't look like a lie. We are all waiting for these fifty slaps."
"Your Majesty!" Ye Yan'er's face turned pale, angry and unwilling. What magic trick did Chu Yunning use to evade the search in full view of everyone?
After these fifty slaps, I won’t want this face anymore.
Prince Xiao moved his lips and his eyes fell on Chu Yunning. His meaning was self-evident, and he advised her to stop.
Chu Yunning pretended not to see it. When she was slandered, she didn't see Prince Xiao stand up to intercede for her.
"Princess Xiao, Concubine Ye made a mistake impulsively because she was unconscious for a moment. Why should you, Sir, have the same knowledge as her when you have so much knowledge?"
The lady who was close to the Ye family bravely stood up and begged for mercy.
Hearing this, Ye Yaner cried even more miserably, her eyes were red and dull, which made people feel a little pity for her.
"Princess Xiao, Concubine Ye already knows that she is wrong. There is no need to hold on to her. Just treat it as a favor for me and let this matter go."
As the hostess of the banquet, the eldest princess began to make friends.
Chu Yunning was so angry that she laughed, these people are really good at moral kidnapping.
"Concubine Ye is very delicate, so it's not impossible not to slap her fifty times."
The eldest princess smiled: "You are sensible and sensible, Yan'er, why don't you apologize to the princess quickly!"
Ye Yan'er was extremely unwilling, but she was indeed at a disadvantage now. She gritted her teeth and was about to speak, but Chu Yunning said: "This matter is not so simple. I was searched for no reason, so where can I put my face?
"
Ye Yaner's eyelids twitched: "What else do you want!"
"Either you slap me fifty times as promised and let the matter end, or you pack your bags and leave the palace for three years. You choose one."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yaner's expression changed.
"A concubine of yours openly slandered me. If it had been someone else, it wouldn't have been an exaggeration to kill her. My two demands are not too much, right?"
Chu Yunning narrowed her eyes and smiled, she was sure that Ye Yaner would definitely choose to slap her in the face.
Now no one asked to help Ye Yan'er. If she didn't want to be beaten, she could just move out, or she was willing to admit defeat.
