A white dove landed on the window coffin.
Ye Chonghua's eyes flashed, and he took the note from the pigeon's feet and unfolded it in front of his eyes.
That was a pigeon message from Yun Shang. Although Ye Chonghua was not there, he could know what was happening in the capital at the first time.
Ye Chonghua looked at the note, and his dark and arrogant eyes seemed to contain a thousand years of ice, and a touch of cruelty flashed across his handsome face.
Someone wanted to take advantage of his absence and dared to hurt her Wu'er!
Very good, he would ask them to pay it back one by one!
At this moment, Li Yunfei, who was taken to the imperial study, had a tearful face, and her eyes were full of confusion. She didn't understand why she was suddenly charged with such a serious crime.
"Your Majesty, why don't you put Yunfei in jail first and make a decision later?" The queen looked at Li Yunfei like this, and couldn't bear it in her heart, so she said so.
Li Yunfei's tears fell from her beautiful eyes, looking so pitiful, but with the winding and ugly scar on her face, she looked even more hideous. Li Yunfei stared at the queen with a sad voice, "Mother, even you don't believe me. How could I, a weak woman, steal the defense map over there?" The queen looked at Li Yunfei's eyes, and felt reluctant. She turned her head to the other side and didn't look at Li Yunfei. The palace was deserted, with only Li Yunfei's uncontrollable crying. Gradually, the crying became louder and louder, as if she was going to die. The emperor was still looking at such a woman, a little hesitant, but seeing her crying like this, he became impatient, and thinking of what she had done before, his face was angry. "Come here, throw Li Yunfei into the prison, and wait for me to find out the facts before making a decision!" The emperor gave an order. Two guards came in from outside the door, held Li Yunfei on both sides, and took her away.
Li Yunfei panicked when she saw that she was really going to be taken to prison, and she kept shouting: "Yunfei is innocent, Yunfei is innocent! Father, father..."
The sharp and shrill shouts were getting farther and farther away, and the queen felt distressed. She was her niece who she had spoiled since she was a child. If it weren't for Feixi, she couldn't bear to abandon her.
She sat in the main seat with a gloomy face.
Since the border defense map was found in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Ouyang Wu left the Empress Dowager's Fanghua Palace. After staying in the palace for a long time, Ouyang Wu was a little tired. As soon as she returned to the Ning Wang Mansion, Ouyang Wu rushed straight to her bedroom, fell on the bed, covered her head, and fell asleep.
This sleep lasted until the next morning. Ouyang Wu slowly opened her eyes, stretched her body, and then slowly got up. Zhu Lu had just made some water for washing her face and brought it in. Seeing that Ouyang Wu had already gotten up, she smiled and said, "Princess, you are finally awake."
Ouyang Wu smiled and looked at the sky. It seemed to be noon. She slept comfortably.
Zhu Lu twisted the towel and handed it to Ouyang Wu. Ouyang Wu wiped her face and said, "Is there any movement in the Fourth Prince's Mansion?"
Zhu Lu thought for a while before saying, "When Fang'er came back this morning, everyone said that the Fourth Prince's wife was imprisoned in the Sky Prison. I don't know why."
Ouyang Wu was slightly stunned with the towel in her hand, and then a faint smile appeared on her lips.
These people failed to frame themselves, but now they have found a scapegoat.
This is the so-called dog bites dog, and the mouth is full of fur.
Ouyang Wu's smile deepened. They were willing to sacrifice the car to save the master. In the damp prison, there were faint cries.
Since Li Yunfei was imprisoned in the prison, she couldn't help crying when she thought of her situation.
But the jailer who was guarding the prison seemed not to hear her and ignored her.
Gradually, the crying turned into sobbing, and she kept sobbing like this, which was particularly abrupt in the silent cell and was creepy to hear.
"Don't cry, why are you crying? It's already like this. Why do you still do such evil things!" The jailer who finally heard impatiently came over and shouted.
Li Yunfei saw that someone finally paid attention to her, so she raised her head and leaned against the door, saying, "Let me out, I want to see the queen!"
The jailer's face was full of disdain, saying, "You are going to die, and you still want to see the queen." Li Yunfei became more and more panicked when she heard it, saying, "You are talking nonsense, I am the fourth prince's wife! How can I die!"
The jailer ignored her and turned around to leave. Few people who entered here can come out alive, no matter how prominent their status is. Moreover, if she can do such a mistake, not to mention the queen, even God can't save her life!
Li Yunfei saw that he wanted to leave, and a trace of panic appeared in her eyes. She hurriedly pulled out the emerald green jade hairpin from her bun and handed it to him: "This is for you, help me say a word!"
When the jailer saw the jade hairpin, his eyes flashed, and he became greedy. Seeing that his expression had softened, Li Yunfei kept begging, "I want to see the queen, help me, I want to see the queen!"
The jailer calmly took the jade hairpin in Li Yunfei's hand and turned around and walked out.
Originally, the jailer in the prison could not see the queen directly, but by chance, the jailer's aunt was the nanny beside the queen, so he asked her to pass on the message.
The queen listened to the nanny's words and her face turned ugly.
At this time, she could not see Li Yunfei anyway, so she just asked her to go back and said that she had a headache and was not feeling well.
Li Yunfei listened to the jailer's words, and a look of disappointment flashed on her face, and then replaced it with a kind of extremely disappointed resentment. It seems that the queen is determined to abandon her this time. What a cruel heart!
Li Yunfei was unwilling to give up. She took off a white jade bracelet from her hand and handed it to the jailer, saying, "Tell me one more message for me, and say... I know a secret of the Queen. If she doesn't come, I can't do anything about it." When the Queen heard the message from the nanny, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she soon appeared in front of Li Yunfei. Seeing the queen appear, Li Yunfei eagerly clung to the prison door, with hope in her eyes, she shouted: "Mother, mother, please save me, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
Li Yunfei saw that the queen was indifferent, so she knelt on the ground: "Mother, are you really not going to save Yunfei?"
A cold light flashed in the queen's eyes. She was not sure what secrets Li Yunfei knew about her, but at this time she smiled: "Yunfei, it's not that mother won't save you, but you did such a thing, mother is also very embarrassed."
Li Yunfei's body shook involuntarily, and she said with trembling lips: "Mother, you know that Yunfei will not and cannot do such a thing... You are clearly withdrawing Yunfei as a scapegoat."
A faint smile flashed across the queen's delicate face. For Feixi, she must abandon Li Yunfei. She lowered her voice: "Since Yunfei said so, then it's!"
Li Yunfei looked at the queen's expression and understood in her heart. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her long nails dug into her palms. A surge of resentment surged in her heart, and her face became paler and paler. She stretched out her hand from the prison door, tried her best to pull the queen's clothes, and sneered in a low voice: "Mother, if you don't save me, I will expose what you did ten years ago! Do you still remember Concubine Li?"
Li Yunfei's expression was very ferocious, a kind of determination to go all out.
The queen's face suddenly sank, and her expression became fierce when she looked at Li Yunfei.
Concubine Li was Ye Xiaoqun's biological mother and the emperor's most beloved concubine. It was for this reason that the queen designed to get rid of her.
Unexpectedly, this matter was overheard by Li Yunfei, who was very young at the time, when she was playing in the queen's palace.
The corners of the queen's lips curled up a smile, and she took the clothes from Li Yunfei's hands and said, "What did Yunfei say? How come mother doesn't understand? Yunfei, don't worry, mother won't let you be wronged."
Li Yunfei's eyes rekindled hope, the queen comforted her a few words and left first.
As soon as she left the prison, the queen's face was full of gloom, and she couldn't help but feel a little panic in her heart. She actually knew about the past!
Thinking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed across the queen's face. Since that was the case, she couldn't be blamed.
Li Yunfei, must die!
Li Yunfei hasn't eaten well since she was imprisoned in the prison. First, because of panic in her heart, she has no appetite, and second, the food in the prison is very unpalatable. She is used to being pampered, how can she eat such things? According to her thinking, these things are pig food.
Since the queen left, the food served again has been much more exquisite.
When the jailer brought the food, his expression was normal. He just said, "These dishes were specially ordered by the Queen to be prepared by the Imperial Kitchen. She also said that the Four Imperial Concubines should be at ease."
A smug smile flashed across Li Yunfei's lips. Her words must have had a deterrent effect on the Queen.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved. She had the Queen's handle in her hand. The Queen would definitely save her.
Li Yunfei was hungry, but she still picked up the chopsticks gracefully and ate slowly. Seeing that Li Yunfei was happy, the jailer's eyes flashed and he quietly stepped aside.
Li Yunfei ate half a bowl of rice, and suddenly her hand paused. She felt a burst of pain in her stomach, as if something was gnawing at her, and cold sweat broke out on her face. The chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground. Li Yunfei kept rolling on the ground, holding her abdomen. Her face was covered with dense sweat. She was so painful that she was pale.
Li Yunfei's eyes were full of resentment. The queen actually treated her like this. She was so cruel! Black blood flowed out of her nostrils and mouth! Her pupils gradually expanded, and Li Yunfei soon stopped moving. She lay on the ground like a broken toy, and lost her life forever. The news that Li Yunfei died in prison soon reached Ouyang Wu's ears. Ouyang Wu held her chin with one hand, pursed her lips, looked at the scenery in the distance, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. If this matter ended like this, it would not be fun. She had to help the situation, otherwise her injustice would be in vain. The emperor was sitting in the imperial study, checking the memorials of the day. The border defense map was found, which made him feel relieved. However, he hesitated about how to deal with Li Yunfei. While looking at the memorials, an eunuch ran in in a panic, looking anxious. "Why are you so flustered?" the emperor said sternly.
The eunuch hesitated, took a few steps forward, and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear. The emperor's face became more and more ugly...
What? The border map was leaked? !
The joy just now had disappeared without a trace, and he was so angry that he almost fainted. What he feared came true. The border map was leaked! It was leaked!
"Quick, bring Li Yunfei up!" The first person the emperor thought of was Li Yunfei in prison, and he shouted anxiously!
As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside reported: "Your Majesty, the fourth prince's wife committed suicide last night out of fear of crime!"
"Committed suicide out of fear of crime?" The emperor stood up from his seat suddenly, his face was extremely ugly. Why did he die at this critical moment?
The emperor's chest rose and fell violently: "Summon the fourth prince to the palace immediately!"
Since the border map was searched out of the fourth prince's mansion, now he can only find Ye Feixi.
When Ye Feixi hurriedly came from outside the palace, he saw the emperor pacing in the imperial study, looking very anxious.
When the emperor saw Ye Feixi, he dismissed his attendants, closed the door of the study, and said, "Feixi, who has the border map passed through?"
Ye Feixi was shocked and lowered his head and said, "I don't know."
The emperor stared at Ye Feixi's face and said in a deep voice, "The border map has been leaked."
Ye Feixi felt beads of sweat on his back, almost soaking his back. He was extremely surprised and spoke for a long time, "It must be Yunfei's doing... I didn't expect this bitch to do such a thing."
The emperor looked at Ye Feixi and said slowly, "Yunfei was imprisoned yesterday and has now committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
After a pause, he asked, "Feixi, what do you think about this?"
Ye Feixi's back was wet, and he couldn't say anything for a while. What could he think? The only thing he did was to steal the border map and frame Ouyang Wu, but everything that happened afterwards was off track.
The emperor looked at Ye Feixi like this, and was extremely disappointed. He said, "Let me think about this matter again."
Ye Feixi was still kneeling in front of the emperor, not daring to say a word. Ye Feixi was very uneasy about this matter. He didn't know how things turned out like this. Could it be that Ye Feiqing had set up this situation?
But if that was the case, why did he want to get himself out again?
He couldn't figure out what was going on at all now, and he just felt that the direction of this matter was becoming more and more confusing!
The emperor sat back at his desk, and he had sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly. At this moment, he had a headache. He casually opened a memorial, but found...
The emperor's face turned blue when he saw the black words on the white paper. His heart seemed to be stabbed by a sharp needle. When he looked at Ye Feixi again, his eyes were full of storms. He didn't expect that his beloved son would dare to betray him!
Ye Feixi had been looking down, but he was hit hard on the forehead unexpectedly. When he looked up, he saw the emperor's angry face sweeping over his entire face, almost twisted, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Look for yourself, look for yourself! What is this?"
A few thin papers were scattered among the memorials scattered on the ground. They were the records of his correspondence with King Huai'an. Ye Feixi picked up one of them with trembling hands. When he saw it, his face turned completely pale.
This letter said that if King Huai'an supported him as the crown prince... he would promise to hand over the border map.
Ye Feixi's face was ashen, and he was trembling all over: "Father, this..."
Before Ye Feixi finished speaking, the emperor roared: "This is clearly your handwriting! How else are you going to argue?"
Ye Feixi was sweating. Yes, this was clearly his handwriting, and it couldn't be faked, but he really had never done such a thing!
He did have correspondence with the King of Huai'an before, and it was just a business deal!
"Father, this must be someone's false accusation! I am innocent, innocent!"
"What innocence do you have now!"
Ye Feixi's face was covered with cold sweat, his expression was excited, and he kept arguing. Then he saw the memorials scattered on the side, and the person who made the memorial was Li Xianyao.
He couldn't help but say: "Father, you see these letters are hidden in this memorial. Prime Minister Li is my son's father-in-law. Even if I did something wrong, he would only plead for mercy. How could he add insult to injury? This must have been planned by someone. Please investigate this thoroughly and clear my name!"
The emperor looked at Ye Feixi like this, and his heart slowly calmed down.
Ye Feixi's words made sense. The honor and disgrace of the Li family depended on Feixi. How could he present such a thing in the memorial?
Is he really framed?
But if he was really framed, who was the mastermind behind this?
"Come here, check all the people in the Li family carefully for me. I want to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
After the emperor gave the order, he sat on his seat with a sullen face. Ye Feixi on the ground was very uneasy.
Xiao Zhuozi, who had been serving beside him, saw this and poured a cup of tea for the emperor and brought it to him. However, the hand holding the tea seemed to be shaking, and the cup was shaking.
The tea splashed out. The emperor was already angry, and he couldn't help but shout: "Asshole! What are you doing!"
Xiao Zhuozi was so frightened that he broke the cup on the ground and knelt down hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down."
The emperor looked angry, and looked at Xiao Zhuozi, but he seemed to be a little wrong. He had served him for many years, and he shouldn't be so panicked. Could it be...
"Do you know something?" The emperor asked sternly.
Xiao Zhuozi trembled even more, biting his lips and not saying anything.
The emperor became angry and shouted: "If you don't say anything, I will take you out and beat you with a hundred sticks!"
"Your Majesty, spare my life. I don't want to do this. I am forced to do it!" Xiao Zhuozi knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The emperor couldn't help but touch his forehead. All these things came to him at once. He felt a headache. Who can he believe and who can't believe? This eunuch Xiao Zhuozi has been with him for many years.
He kicked him hard: "Who asked you to do this? Tell me!"
Xiao Zhuozi kept his mouth shut and kowtowed desperately, almost breaking his forehead!
"Who is it? Is it the second prince? The third prince? The fifth prince?" The emperor kept asking.
The emperor found that when the fifth prince was mentioned, Xiao Zhuozi's eyes flickered, and then, as if helpless, he bit his lower lip fiercely.
When the emperor wanted to stop him, it was too late. He saw a trace of blood flowing from the corner of Xiao Zhuozi's lips, pain in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes forever.
The emperor couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he thought of Xiao Zhuozi's eyes when he mentioned the fifth prince just now.
