Returning to the Qing Palace, although Ye Chuyan was disappointed, he was not sad.
This made Pei Xiuyan feel a little guilty.
He repeatedly promised that when this matter is over, he will definitely take Ye Chuyan to Ning Guta to visit Mrs. Ye and the others. Ye Chuyan smiled silently and did not speak.
She consciously returned to Xiuyan Garden and sat there until the afternoon, saying she wanted to go into the palace to find Nan Gong Yuerong.
She wanted to try to please Nan Gong Yuerong and see if she could help to say a few nice words in front of Pei Ye and resolve Pei Ye's misunderstanding about the Qing Palace as soon as possible. Nan Gong Yuerong is now almost equal to the queen, only missing one canonization title.
These words made Pei Xiuyan feel uncomfortable for a long time. He did not expect that Ye Chuyan did not go to Chengning Ancient Pagoda. Instead, he was thinking about the Qing Palace and wanted to go to the palace to curry favor with Nan Gong Yuerong.
Moved, he refused.
He has not fallen to the point where he needs Ye Chuyan to beg Nan Gong Yuerong to save the Qing Palace.
In fact, he had already dealt with the matter of disaster relief and reputation. He was idle in the house and just wanted to wait until the matter was completely settled.
Shi Lu came here today just to do himself a favor and find an honest reason not to leave the capital.
Ye Chuyan begged Pei Xiuyan, saying that he wanted to do his best for the Qing Palace.
Pei Xiuyan finally relaxed, but only if he accompanied Ye Chuyan.
Ye Chuyan analyzed Pei Xiuyan: Since Pei Ye now allows him to feel at ease in the palace, he had better not enter the palace at this time and upset Pei Ye.
Pei Xiuyan did not expect that Ye Chuyan would use the same excuse to block him. He was speechless after being refuted and had no choice but to agree.
After Ye Chuyan became the daughter of a guilty minister, she was not eligible to enter the palace without a summons. With the token from the Qing Palace, she could finally enter the palace.
On the second day, Ye Chuyan packed up, asked her maid to give herself a bright and elegant make-up, put on the most formal palace clothes, and looked very handsome.
Before going out, she joked to Pei Xiuyan: "Ace, the future of the Qing Palace lies with me."
Pei Xiuyan felt that Ye Chuyan was so beautiful today that people couldn't take their eyes away. Seeing Ye Chuyan's cunning and bright smile, he agreed, "Yes, I have to trouble Ayan today."
After Ye Chuyan left, Pei Xiuyan thought to himself, it was almost the end of the month, how to forge Mrs. Ye's letter to Ye Chuyan without letting her find out the clues.
※
Ye Chuyan is the wife of a minister and is not qualified to go to the front hall of the palace. After handing over the sign, she was first led outside the Jinkun Palace in Nan Gong Yuerong.
Nan Gong Yuerong was drinking tea with Pei Ye and was a little surprised when she heard Ye Chuyan asked to see her.
Because the Queen Mother once wanted to bring Ye Chuyan and Pei Ye together, Ye Chuyan also knew about this. After she married Pei Xiuyan, in order to avoid taboos, she rarely entered the palace to chat with the concubines in the harem.
Coming to see myself at this moment is really a bit confusing.
Thinking of the recent estrangement between Pei Ye and Pei Xiuyan due to disaster relief, Ye Chuyan's sudden visit here is probably related to this matter.
She didn't want to cause trouble, so she said to the palace maid: "Let her go back. Just say that I am not feeling well today and will not see you."
Then he complained angrily to Pei Ye.
"Your Majesty, Princess Qing has very little contact with me. This sudden request for an audience must be for the sake of the previous dynasty. I don't want to cause any embarrassment."
"Wait a minute!" Pei Ye called to the palace maid who responded, "With me here, what do you have to be afraid of? I really want to know why Princess Qing entered the palace at this time."
Regarding Pei Xiuyan, he has given up on the game now. Ye Chuyan definitely didn't come here for this matter.
"Let Ye Chuyan come in."
Ye Chuyan was standing waiting in the courtyard of Jinkun Palace.
She knew that Pei Ye liked to come to Nan Gong Yuerong's place to drink a pot of tea before leaving after going to court. If nothing else happened, she would see Pei Ye soon.
In fact, the real purpose of her coming today was to meet Pei Ye, not Nan Gong Yuerong.
The maid from Jinkun Palace came out quickly and let Ye Chuyan in.
Ye Chuyan followed the palace maid step by step and entered the main room. Sure enough, she saw Pei Ye and Nan Gong Yuerong drinking tea. She knelt down and saluted respectfully.
With Pei Ye here, Nan Gong Yuerong didn't dare to speak.
Pei Ye looked at Ye Chuyan who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Sit down."
Ye Chuyan did not stand up, but continued to lie on the ground and said word by word: "Your Majesty, my daughter has committed a heinous crime and has violated the laws of the country. She dare not stand up."
Pei Ye put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Oh~ tell me."
"Your Majesty, King Pei Xiuyan of the Qing Dynasty disregards the laws of the country and intends to rebel!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an eerie silence in the room.
Pei Ye took the case and stood up, Long Yan was furious, "How brave! Do you know what the crime of falsely accusing the royal family is?"
His roar made the eunuchs and maids in the room fall to their knees and tremble in fear.
Nan Gong Yuerong's eyes widened in shock. She thought Ye Chuyan was crazy.
Ye Chuyan turned his head and looked at Pei Ye, his face was stern, neither humble nor arrogant.
"My daughter has been familiar with etiquette since she was a child. She is well aware of the seriousness of this matter and dare not hide it, let alone frame it. My daughter is the princess of the Qing Dynasty. She risked her life to report to the palace today just for the sake of Dafeng."
The veins on Pei Ye's forehead bulged slightly, and he sternly shouted to everyone in the room: "Everyone else, get out!"
Nan Gong Yuerong and everyone in the room retreated, leaving only Pei Ye and Ye Chuyan.
Ye Chuyan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and held it in both hands.
"Your Majesty, this is Pei Xiuyan's charge of rebellion. Please take a look at it."
Pei Ye took the piece of paper and scanned it carefully.
There are several pieces of evidence written on it:
First: Pei Xiuyan harbored the daughter of the guilty minister. Lady Mo in the mansion was the main culprit of the Literary Prison. She was the concubine of the Mo family. Pei Xiuyan hid her secretly because he was dissatisfied with the Literary Prison.
Second: Pei Xiuyan had a good relationship with the owner of a restaurant in Kyoto. The owner was from Japan. Pei Xiuyan colluded with the Japanese people and did not take the laws of Dafeng into consideration at all.
Third: Pei Xiuyan asked Ye Chuyan to suppress the bandits in order to gain fame for himself. However, when Ye Chuyan was suppressing the bandits, he accidentally discovered that Pei Xiuyan had colluded with the bandits of Tianlang Village, and the gunpowder was the weapon he used to rebel. Pei Xiuyan was afraid that Tianlang would tell the truth after being caught, so he killed Tianlang on the spot.
Pei Xiuyan was worried that the young master of the Wu family who accidentally went up the mountain also knew about this, and recently sent someone to kill the young master of the Wu family.
Dixi: Pei Xiuyan ordered Ye Chuyan to sell the things given by the emperor. During the disaster relief, he claimed that the food he donated from his own pocket was also to gain a reputation in order to prepare for future rebellion.
Fifth: During the disaster relief period, Pei Xiuyan killed 10,000 victims of the disease. He did this so that when he planned trouble in the future, he would announce to the outside world that the emperor ordered him to do this, and it was to completely ruin the emperor's reputation.
Sixth: Pei Xiuyan requisitioned warships when he returned to Beijing for disaster relief, and he vowed: "The world will eventually be driven by me, so what if I requisition only warships?"
Seventh: Pei Xiuyan wrote many disrespectful poems on the way to the disaster relief in Jiangnan. There is a sentence in it: One day when the dragon gets water, I will make the water of the Yangtze River flow backward. This sentence clearly showed his rebellious intentions.
After Pei Ye read this, all the veins on his forehead popped out, and his whole body was intimidating.
He leaned over and stared at Ye Chuyan.
"Ye Chuyan! You are taking revenge on Pei Xiuyan for the Ye family, right?"
Seeing Pei Ye Xuheng's serious look, Ye Chuyan couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
As he expected, Pei Ye's first reaction was to doubt himself. He is the king of a country, how could he easily believe that Pei Xiuyan would rebel with just a piece of paper and a few words?
Fortunately, she was prepared.
"Your Majesty, I have never held a grudge against anyone because of the Ye family. I really don't want to see Pei Xiuyan rebelling, and then blood will flow into rivers and the people will suffer, so I prosecuted Pei Xiuyan."
"The identity of Madam Mo and the Japanese people can be verified by the Emperor. Pei Xiuyan burned all those poems. Fortunately, the courtier paid attention and kept a few of them and hid them on the bottom of the dressing box in the Jiangjiayuan room in the mansion. The Emperor can send People go and search.”
After Ye Chuyan finished speaking, she became quiet. She needed to give Pei Ye time to digest.
Not long after Pei Ye took office, his desire for power reached its peak. He would never allow anyone to take a peek at the imperial power, especially the royal people with the same blood.
Once the seeds of doubt are buried in the soil, they can grow into towering trees in an instant.
She had already made up her mind. In front of Pei Ye, Pei Xiuyan could handle all other matters. He had no way of explaining those verses.
Because he wrote those things to please himself while on the road of disaster relief.
At his own request, he wrote too many poems. He probably couldn't even remember this one about the Yangtze River.
However, it doesn't matter whether Pei Xiuyan remembers it or not. Pei Ye will definitely believe his rebellious intentions after seeing this poem.
After all, how could a powerful minister write such a poem without making people suspicious.
Pei Ye was silent for a long time and suddenly sneered.
He didn't know about these seven things, apart from Lady Mo and the Japanese people, and the disrespectful poems. He knew all about other disaster relief, bandit suppression, killing sick refugees, and requisitioning warships.
Pei Xiuyan did go above and beyond, but it was not excessive.
It was just some of the details that really puzzled him. For example, after killing Sirius, the source of the gunpowder was not found. For example, Ye Chuyan was asked to sell the things given by the emperor and use the money to buy extra food for the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Now listening to Ye Chuyan's narration, it would be much more reasonable if everything was based on Pei Xiuyan's desire to rebel.
However, he still had the biggest doubt.
"Ye Chuyan, if Pei Xiuyan really wanted to rebel, why did he reveal so many lies and let you find out? And let you come to the palace to see me?"
Ye Chuyan slightly raised her lips and said slowly:
"Pei Xiuyan is not showing off his flaws, but he is confident. He has taken everything into account and feels that my daughter has no one to rely on except him, so she will never risk her life to report him."
"But my father taught me since childhood that thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the emperor. My daughter is the daughter of a guilty minister. It is the emperor's mercy that I can live to this day. My daughter always remembers the emperor's grace and does not dare to live an ignoble existence, let alone conspire against him. "
"Pei Xiuyan didn't let me into the palace to see you, but my daughter knew that you were at Concubine Jing's place, so she used the excuse of visiting Concubine Jing to see you."
Pei Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and said solemnly: "Ye Chuyan, do you know that if what you said is true, you will not be able to escape the blame."
Ye Chuyan and Pei Xiuyan have not reconciled. If Pei Xiuyan really rebels, the whole family will be punished. As the Qing Princess, Ye Chuyan would not be able to escape death even if she reported Pei Xiuyan.
"If I can relieve your worries, my daughter will not be afraid of death."
Ye Chuyan met Pei Ye's gaze with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Pei Ye pursed his thin lips tightly and stared at Ye Chuyan with sinister eyes.
She specially put on makeup today and wore a very grand palace costume. There was no trace of the rebelliousness of her teenage years in her eyebrows, but she showed sincere surrender and loyalty.
This reminded him of Ye Jin. Ye Jin was like this, loyal to the royal family and never had second thoughts.
Pei Xiuyan is now above ten thousand people and knows how wonderful the taste of power is. If he still knows what happened back then, rebellion is inevitable.
When he thought of this, Pei Ye clenched his fists slightly, and his murderous intent appeared.
Ye Chuyan didn't know what Pei Ye was thinking, but she could see that Pei Ye had murderous intentions.
She decided to give Pei Ye another dose of strong medicine.
"Your Majesty, if you send someone to search Prince Qing's Mansion, with Pei Xiuyan's eyesight and power, Pei Xiuyan will notice it before they arrive and destroy all evidence of the crime."
"Also, there are many secret guards in the Qing Palace, and Pei Xiuyan himself is very skilled in martial arts. If he is not careful, he will escape."
"My daughter has a plan that will show you just how loyal Pei Xiuyan is. It will also prevent him from escaping and ensure that he can be captured."
There was an undercurrent in Pei Ye's eyes. After a long time, he said, "Let's talk and listen."
