Within one day, the third young master of the Ye family was caught using counterfeit banknotes in a restaurant.
That restaurant happened to be under Chu Yunning's name.
Ignoring the pleas of the third young master of the Ye family, he directly reported it to the government.
Jing Zhaoyin arrived and took the person away quickly.
"It turns out that the fake banknotes came from the Ye family. No wonder the Ye family has been doing a lot of things lately."
"I heard that a merchant was deceived. He managed to sell some money, but all the bills turned out to be fake."
"It's really harmful."
The Ye family was involved in right and wrong, and Ye Yaner couldn't sit still.
"How could the third brother have fake banknotes and be caught red-handed, idiot!"
Ye Ruying was also anxious and sent people back to the house to inquire about the news. The Ye family immediately asked the people around Young Master Ye to confirm that he had not been involved in counterfeit banknotes and that he had been framed this time.
"Who would frame the third brother?" Ye Yaner wondered.
The third young master of the Ye family has a dull personality. He usually doesn't like to cause trouble, and he doesn't have the temperament to offend others.
Ye Ruying bit her lip tightly: "I'm afraid they came for the Ye family, and they happened to choose the third brother as the introduction."
"Then what should we do now? My father and mother must be very anxious because my third brother is in jail. If we don't get rid of this matter, how will the Ye family be able to gain a foothold in the capital in the future?"
Ye Ruying rubbed her eyebrows. She was thinking of a way to deal with it, but for some reason Chu Yunning's face suddenly flashed in her mind.
Could this matter have something to do with Chu Yunning?
"I'll go and beg the prince."
Ye Yan'er ran out so fast that Ye Ruying couldn't stop her.
King Xiao also heard about this and comforted Ye Yaner a few words.
"Your Majesty, the Ye family must have been framed. Please order Jing Zhaoyin to let his third brother go."
Prince Xiao frowned. The counterfeit banknote incident had caused a stir in the city. I believe it won't be long before it reaches the imperial court.
How could he openly ask Jing Zhaoyin to release him?
"Don't worry yet. If the Ye family is wronged, Jing Zhaoyin will definitely investigate the truth thoroughly and clear the Ye family's name."
"But my third brother has never suffered any hardship since he was a child. If he is caught rashly, I'm worried that I won't be able to bear it."
The third young master of the Ye family is the only legitimate son of the Ye family, and Ye Yaner has always regarded him very seriously.
"Yan'er, I will send someone to take a look."
The whole capital was in a commotion, but Chu Yunning was the only one who was lying leisurely under the shade of a tree, eating fresh fruits, holding a fairy tale book in his hand, and telling Beibei stories.
Children all like to listen to stories, especially fairy tales.
"Mom, Monkey Sun is trapped under Wuzhi Mountain, can he still come out?" Beibei opened his innocent eyes curiously, waiting attentively for the next half.
Chu Yunning nodded: "Of course, not only can you come out, but you can also fight monsters."
"Mom, please continue talking."
"Later, there was a monk in the Tang Dynasty..."
After speaking for half an hour, Bei Bei still had more to say.
"Princess, the eldest princess is here." Bixiu said.
"When I got back to the eldest princess, I told her that I had caught a cold and it was not suitable to see guests."
Chu Yunning turned over lazily and continued to tell Beibei a story.
After a while, Bixiu came back. Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows and asked, "Leaving?"
"No, the eldest princess has gone to see the prince."
Chu Yunning burst out laughing. He almost killed Prince Xiao a few days ago, but now he went to plead for mercy. He was so shameless!
"Princess, there is news from Hanxiang Pavilion that the eldest princess is willing to pay two hundred thousand taels of gold to buy the antidote."
After all this fuss, you still have to get a banknote in the end.
Why bother?
Tianyi said that Mo Ziyuan jumped into the river yesterday when no one was prepared. Fortunately, the maid found him and rescued him in time.
She was almost scratched to pieces, so the eldest princess had no choice but to start collecting money.
"Just follow the original plan."
One hand paid the money and the other hand delivered the goods. The bank note was confirmed to be correct and the antidote was given to the other party.
After getting the banknote back, Chu Yunning felt better.
"How is Mo Shizi's injury?"
Tianyi said: "The prince takes medicine every day according to the master's instructions. His complexion has recovered a lot, and his legs have gradually been able to stretch and bend. The prince said that one code will be the same and there is no need to take care of him. In any case, he will not blame the master.
"
Chu Yunning smiled knowingly.
As long as Mo Shizi's leg can recover, Hanxiang Pavilion will be able to clear away its grievances, so she is not in a hurry.
The incident of counterfeit banknotes became more and more serious, and soon it was brought to the court. A thorough investigation was conducted, and the source was quickly traced to the eldest princess.
The evidence is overwhelming, and the eldest princess has nothing to say.
The emperor was kind and did not execute her. Thinking of Mo Shizi's past achievements, he only deprived her of the title of eldest princess and demoted her to the title of princess of Changyang.
Princess Changyang was summoned by the Queen Mother's people before she could even walk out of the main hall. The Queen Mother punished her by kneeling down for five hours because of her reputation for lax discipline.
Although the Ye family was not found to be related to the counterfeit banknotes, the emperor was furious and directly demoted Ye's father to the third rank.
"My father fainted immediately after being demoted in court, and my mother also cried at home." Ye Ruying was worried about her family and wanted to go back and take a look.
Ye Yaner nodded: "Go back and say hello for me."
Before leaving, Ye Ruying still told Ye Yan'er to be careful and careful about Chu Yunning: "The princess is not as simple as she appears. Sister, please be careful. I suspect that the fake banknotes have something to do with the princess."
"She?" Ye Yan'er didn't believe that the princess had such great ability, even the eldest princess's mansion was brought down.
"Sister, don't forget that the prince was injured because of Master Ning, and that the Ye family was involved in the counterfeit banknote case because of Hanxiang Pavilion. Hanxiang Pavilion and the princess are inextricably linked."
Ye Ruying analyzed it all night, and she guessed that the person behind this incident was the princess.
"Sister, do you still remember the day when the prince was injured?"
"of course I remember."
"The prince was obviously unconscious, so how could he suddenly be freed from the poison? It's because not long after Chu Yunning entered..."
"You mean that Chu Yunning released the prince's poison?"
Ye Yaner finally realized: "Chu Yun Ning knows medical skills!"
"Master Ning suddenly disappeared, and the princess's maiden name has the word "Ning" in it. I guess Master Ning is the princess herself!"
On the day when Prince Xiao was injured, she specifically inquired about Master Ning being injured as well. When Chu Yunning came to see Prince Xiao in the middle of the night, it was obvious that there was a pungent smell of medicine on her body.
At that time, Chu Yunning explained that he had caught the wind and cold, but in fact it was not the case at all!
A series of various events indicate that Chu Yun Ning is Master Ning.
"How is this possible?" Ye Yan'er didn't believe it. When did Chu Yunning learn medical skills?
"Did my sister forget the medicinal herbs grown in Lengxiang Garden, the medical books collected by the prince, and the suffering she suffered on the day of the full moon banquet at the eldest princess's mansion? Are these all coincidences?"
Ye Ruying didn't believe it at first, but there were more and more coincidences later, and she couldn't help but not believe it anymore.
Ye Yaner recalled that on the day of the full moon banquet, she seemed to be possessed by a demon and danced a striptease in public, losing face.
At that time, she suspected that Chu Yunning was behind it, but unfortunately she couldn't find any evidence.
"Sister wants to confirm whether the princess is
Master Ning is also very simple. Master Ning was hit by a poisonous arrow on his left shoulder, and the wound will leave scars even if it heals."
Ye Yan'er has already believed most of it: "I already know about this matter. You should go back and take care of your home first."
In the afternoon, Ye Yaner went to see Prince Xiao with carefully prepared snacks.
She had her bangs combed straight and a veil on her face, revealing only a pair of almond-shaped eyes. She had a graceful figure and was dyed with a light layer of powder.
"You are not in good health. You can just leave these things to the servants. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Prince Xiao helped her sit down.
Ye Yan'er fell to her knees on the ground and raised her head: "Please let the prince make the decision for Yan'er."
"Get up and talk to me if you have anything to say." Prince Xiao helped her, but Ye Yan'er stubbornly refused to get up: "Your Majesty, Yan'er suspects that the princess is Master Ning. All the grievances Yan'er suffered before were caused by the princess deliberately making things difficult for her."
King Xiao didn't believe it.
"Your Majesty, Master Ning's left shoulder was hit by an arrow, and there will definitely be an arrow wound. I ask Your Majesty to verify this once and give Yan'er an explanation."
Ye Yaner's teeth itch with hatred whenever she thinks that Chu Yun Ning is most likely Master Ning.
She had been deceived for so long, defrauded her of a lot of money, and even had her face disfigured.
Prince Xiao looked at Ye Yan'er with a complicated expression: "Princess, she doesn't have any medical skills..."
"Beibei knows how to identify medicinal herbs. If the princess hadn't taught him how to recognize medicinal herbs as a child trapped in Lengxiang Garden, the prince saw with his own eyes that there are many medicinal herbs growing in Lengxiang Garden."
Prince Xiao was speechless and only recalled all this after being reminded by Ye Yaner.
There are a lot of doubts.
But Chu Yunning learned medical skills in just five years, which is a bit incredible.
"Your Majesty, does the princess have someone behind her to help her? I heard that there are people in this world who know how to disguise themselves. If that person pretends to be someone else, he will live under our eyes..."
"That's enough!" Prince Xiao interrupted. If someone was really under his eyes, the consequences would be disastrous.
"My lord, Yan'er was suspicious when the princess lost her dowry, so how could a large number of dowries disappear quietly? Someone must be taking care of it."
Ye Yaner's heart ached when she thought of King Xiao's compensation for so much money, and this debt was also placed on Chu Yunning's head.
"Come here, send the concubine back to rest."
Prince Xiao's face was gloomy, as black as if he could drip out ink. When he first saw Master Ning, he did feel that he looked familiar.
