Chapter 39 - Pleadings

The emperor's complexion changed. He did not expect that his own son would be so disappointing. He ordered someone to give Yun Qin a seat and said solemnly, "Bring the Crown Prince here."

Very quickly, the imperial guards escorted Ye Yi to the Golden Hall. Ye Yi broke free from the constraints of the imperial guards and bowed to the emperor who was sitting on the throne: childrens greets royal father.

Mu Ranshu then bowed, with a look of shock.

Seeing that Ye Han and Yun Qin were both present, Ye Yi took the lead to speak first: "royal father, childrens wants to sue Third Brother. He even said rudely that he wanted to kill childrens.

The Emperor looked at Ye Han, who had a cold and detached expression. Yun Qin replied, "Your Majesty, the prince attacked Crown Prince to save me, and he was forced to."

"Unfilial son!" He did not expect that for his own ambition, he would actually use such a despicable method. Fortunately, he did not succeed in the end, otherwise, how would he explain it to the king of the Rosa when something happened to Yun Qin!

"royal father, childrens is innocent!" Ye Yi's eyes reddened, and he decided not to admit it. If Ye Han did not have evidence, what could they do to him?

Yun Qin was shocked, she never thought that Ye Yi would actually force himself to admit it.

Ye Han's eyes were as deep as an ancient well, profound and calm: "royal father, the imperial guards of the Phoenix Luan Palace can all testify, Crown Prince came out from the Queen Palace, and …" When he said till here, he paused, his gaze landed on Ye Yi, and pointed at him: "If he doesn't have any evil thoughts, why is he wearing the clothes of a eunuch?"

When he said that, Ye Yi was speechless, he glared at Mu Ranshu hatefully. If she did not ask him to change into the attire of a young eunuch, he would not have been speechless.

Mu Ranshu took the opportunity to speak out, "Your Majesty, chenqie has something to report."

Seeing the emperor nod, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Your Majesty, chenqie can testify for Third Marquis. This chenqie helped Crown Prince to exit Phoenix Luan Palace, but she didn't expect that Crown Prince would turn hostile and try to kill her in the blink of an eye. If it wasn't for the imperial city guards being able to make it in time, this chenqie would have already been turned into a corpse! "

Beneath the embroidered cloth, a trace of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes. The Emperor only cared about his dignity the most, and her words just so happened to make the Emperor think that the Crown Prince looked down on the heavens.

Just as expected, she saw the emperor's face darken like a storm as Mu Ranshu cried even more, "Please make the decision, your majesty."

The emperor clenched his fists. You want to make a move in the palace? How could the Crown Prince not put him, the emperor, in his eyes? Back then, he was the one who painfully begged to marry Mu Ranshu, but now, he was the one who didn't care at all. If the empress dowager and the elderly found out that the Crown Prince had violated her precious niece, they would probably be angered to the point of vomiting blood.

When he thought about how the empress dowager usually doted on Mu Ranshu and the emperor doted on her, a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and signaled Mu Ranshu to get up.

Yun Qin never thought that Mu Ranshu would actually scam him and give him a heavy blow on her head. Presumably, she had had enough bullying in the oriental palace.

Ye Yi also did not expect Mu Ranshu to actually bite off more than he could chew, he turned around, and used all his strength to grab onto Mu Ranshu's neck and pinched it: "Eat more than you can chew, I'll kill you today."

"Men, seize Crown Prince for us." The Emperor stood up and gave his orders, anger filling his heart, he did not think that Ye Yi would actually dare to commit murder in front of him, and this made him even more convinced that Ye Yi did not place him in his eyes.

Mu Ranshu was still shaken and started to cry.

"I never thought that I would actually bring up such a thing like you. She's your legal and proper wife, yet you're actually treating her like this." The emperor scolded with a dark expression.

Ye Yi struggled to get them to let go of him, and coldly snorted, "Son, father's will, you were the official wife of my mother, didn't you cherish her too? Since young, you only know when Ye Han has cared about my feelings. What did I do wrong? "No, I'm not wrong. You're the one at fault."

"How dare you!" Being lectured in front of so many people, the Emperor felt as if he had lost face, and his tone became even heavier when he spoke.

"Queen has arrived —" At this time, the little eunuch's voice came from outside the hall.

After that, the Queen hurriedly stepped into the palace. The phoenix crown on her head trembled slightly with each step, and when she arrived at her highness, she begged, "This concubine pays her respects to the emperor. "Your majesty, Yi'er still doesn't understand. I request that your majesty forgive him this time."

"Ignorant? He's already a member of our family, and you say he doesn't know anything? " The Emperor snorted coldly, blaming him. "You can't get rid of the responsibility for what happened to him, no matter what."

The emperor's expression darkened a little. He was not yet old and muddled, so it was naturally impossible for the emperor to take responsibility for the Crown Prince.

"You're the one who's used to how lawless he is." The Emperor was furious, Ye Yi sneered from the bottom of his heart, and ignored all his responsibilities, to think that he had spoken in such a righteous manner!

Although Ye Yi was somewhat dissatisfied, he still understood that as a storage monarch, his punishments would not be heavy. However, if he continued to be muddle-headed, who knew what decision this biased royal father would make.

With a flick of his robes, Ye Yi fell to his knees with a "bang" sound.

Queen looked at Mu Ranshu with a warning, her eyes clearly showing that she was threatening him.

Mu Ranshu lowered her head, pretending that she did not see anything.

"childrens... "You know your wrongs." Ye Yi said slowly, his head drooping so low that his expression could not be seen.

Queen consoled him, "Your majesty, this matter was done recklessly by Yi'er. Please give him a chance to start anew due to the relationship between father and son."

As a Crown Prince, he naturally could not punish him too severely. If he were to punish him lightly, he might not be able to learn his lesson, but this matter would definitely make the relationship between Ye Han and Ye Yi even more tense, and was exactly what he wanted.

"Since your mother is pleading for mercy on your behalf, I, on the account of your past duties, will punish you with imprisonment for one month, deducting your salary by half a year, as an example to others." After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Yun Qin and asked, "What do you think, Princess?"

Yun Qin rubbed her forehead. Although she was unhappy, but could she say anything? Moreover, she knew that being grounded was already a heavy punishment on storage monarch, so she nodded her head.

Mu Ranshu secretly clenched her hands inside her sleeves, she did not expect Ye Yi to just dodge like that. Sensing that a sinister gaze was looking at him, Mu Ranshu was shocked, a chill went up her spine.

Ye Yi was a petty person, he would definitely take revenge on her. After going back, he would definitely not let her off after this incident.

Mu Ranshu lowered her gaze and bit her lips.
