Chapter 26: Confrontation

The beast clouded the setting sun, the bow and the moon and the shooting star, and the heat that had been rolling all day finally subsided at this moment, and the air gradually had a cool smell. For Hanzhang Palace, it had been under low pressure a long time ago, like a polar land. Samkawa.
I have to say that Bai Zhixuan's accusation is very clever, she only pointed out Ye Huaiyang’s motives for killing Wang Yaru, but did not tell Chu Jinglan and her together, after all, this is a major incident of colluding with the family in an attempt to rebel. The face of so many people is too clear, and only the queen mother can detect it, otherwise she is the person who breaks the rules of the game who is the first to die without evidence. She has been in the palace for many years, and of course she understands this, so the purpose now is to put the murder charge on Ye Huaiyang's head, so that the difficulty is over.
"Miss Ye, is what the White Master said is true?"
Ye Huaiyang slowly raised his head and categorically returned the queen's words: "It's definitely not the case."
Bai Zhixuan snorted coldly: "Open your eyes and talk nonsense."
"The nobleman ruined my reputation in front of everyone without evidence, and told me that I was talking nonsense? I have only met the prince a few times, and have never had a private relationship. I can bear such a big hat of murder because of jealousy. Sorry!"
Ye Huaiyang rarely spoke a little harder, and her chest was slightly ups and downs, as if she was furious. Bai Zhixuan felt that she was good at acting more and more when she saw this. She was very angry, and her usual arrogant and cold appearance was instantly shattered.
"You and the prince live in the same building, and the two mansions are not separated by rulers, rafters, and tiles. Do you dare to say that you don't have private contacts on weekdays?"
Ye Huaiyang squatted to the Queen Mother, and said: "The Queen Mother Mingjian, that house was purchased by my father many years ago. At the beginning of last year, the courtier girl suffered a serious illness. I remembered that the environment was quiet and no neighbors were clamoring before moving to recuperate. As for the prince to return to the king’s capital a few months later to live next door, it’s not the minister’s expectation. It is too late to be cautious in words and actions, so how dare you climb the prince’s personal relationship?
Bai Zhixuan roared: "You nonsense!"
"Is there any nonsense by the courtier? The girl Yaru could prove it with a single sentence. Now that she has passed away, the courtier has to plead a few words for herself." Ye Huaiyang slowly turned her body to face Chu. Lan, glanced at him briefly, then leaned over and kowtowed again, "The courtiers are disrespectful. Although the prince Yushu Linfeng is comparable to the censorship, but after all, he is too old. If you talk about generations, you should be regarded as uncles. Pride and inferiority, but admiration for uncles, such unethical and unethical things, is absolutely dare not to do. Please also ask the empress dowager to return the courtiers innocent.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the familiar hum: "Presumptuous!"
In front of the Empress Dowager and even all the maids and eunuchs in Hanzhang Palace, she said she didn't like Chu Jinglan and thought he was too old. Isn't it just presumptuous? It's daring!
Ye Huaiyang glanced at Chu Jinglan, who was pale in his eyes. The villain in his heart already laughed to the ground, but he was still asking for sin: "Please forgive the prince, and the courtiers can't say anything against their will."
What a one who can't go against his will, the one who dared to be in the closet with him was her twin sister.
Chu Jinglan stared at Ye Huaiyang, although there was no emotion on his face, there were dark clouds in his eyes. This woman... lied and didn't change her face and heartbeat, and dragged him into the water to accompany her in this scene. When did she want to make trouble?
"Okay, shut up all to Ai's family." The queen mother finally said her voice, with a childlike face and an angry look. She was shocked to sweat all over her body with just one glance. "The confession of the nobleman has been heard by the family, Ye Huaiyang, tell me Tell me what happened at that time."
Ye Huaiyang turned to face and whispered: "Returning to the empress dowager, the courtier was playing fish by the water. She didn't pay attention to who was in the back room. Later, she heard the quarrel and pushed open the door to look inside. At the end, the nobleman looked at the courtier in amazement. It seemed that there was no one else outside. The courtier realized that she might have disturbed her chatting with Yaru girl. She wanted to return to the place where she was just turned around. After a violent bump, I didn't know anything..."
Although these remarks did not clearly point out that Bai Zhixuan was the murderer who pushed people into the water, it was not helping her. This vague description was even more suspicious. Bai Zhixuan knew that Ye Huaiyang had said this deliberately, and she became angry for a while. Lost her manners, she reached out and pinched her.
"Obviously it is where you asked my palace and Wang Yaru to go, but here you reverse right and wrong! My palace knows that you and the prince have colluded long ago, and just want to plant this matter and blame it on this palace!"
Ye Huaiyang pushed several times without pushing Bai Zhixuan away. She only felt that her neck was stuck in the steel claws. It tightened and tightened. The pain was about to suffocate. She glanced weakly in the palace. She lowered her head tacitly, as if she could not hear or see, no one came to stop Bai Zhixuan's crazy behavior, she looked up again, and she instantly understood.
The queen mother was trying to test her and Chu Jinglan.
Everyone in the Hanzhang Palace is full of human spirits, let alone the queen mother. The old body carries the wind and frost that has gone through two dynasties, and contains the worldly heritage of the peaks of the harem. I am afraid that Bai Zhixuan's meaning has long been heard. , I took this opportunity to try whether the two of them really had a relationship, but Fan Ye Huaiyang showed a look of crying for help to Chu Jinglan, they don't even want to leave the palace today.
Ye Huaiyang quickly lowered his head, struggling to pounce on Bai Zhixuan's side, far away from Chu Jinglan.
Chu Jinglan sat in a precarious manner, as cold as a mountain, without a trace of fluctuation in his expression.
I don't know how long it has passed, Ye Huaiyang was so painful that she almost fainted, and finally heard a deep cry from above: "Legacy! Pull her away for the Aijia, how proper!"
The two sturdy mothers immediately rushed forward and pulled Bai Zhixuan away. Because she was pregnant, they didn't dare to work hard, so they tossed for a long time.
Ye Huaiyang coughed sharply on the ground, her delicate face pale as paper, and she was dripping with sweat.
Bai Zhixuan sat beside her on her knees and froze for a long time, then raised her head to look at Chu Jinglan afterwards. Seeing him expressionless, she actually laughed slowly.
How sensitive is a woman's heart? With the various behaviors of Ye Huaiyang before and the words in the water hall, Bai Zhixuan is almost certain that she loves Chu Jinglan, but she almost died under her hands, Chu Jinglan actually reacted at all. No, it can be seen that Lang's heart is like iron.
Ye Huaiyang, even if you win this round, you don't feel good, right?
Bai Zhixuan smiled to herself, forgetting that she was still in danger, and never expected Ye Huaiyang to have the strength to fight her back.
"Empress Mother, the courtier has something to say." Ye Huaiyang slowly kneeled and straightened her body. Although her voice was hoarse, her words were exceptionally clear, and she was not as calm as someone who had just experienced torture.
"Say it."
"First, if the court lady tried to harm Yaru girl, how could she fall by herself? Second, even if Yaru girl reacted to drag her court lady into the water, it should be on top of her. She was the first to fall into the water below her. Thirdly, if the courtier really secretly communicated with the prince, how could the prince let the guards save Yaru girl instead of saving the courtier?"
When Chu Jinglan heard the last sentence, her black eyes suddenly condensed.
These three points are well-argued and well-organized, and they are perfect to argue against Bai Zhixuan, but when she said that he chose to save others, she was so calm, like an outsider.
Bai Zhixuan was also stunned. For a moment, she almost thought that she had made a mistake. Ye Huaiyang didn't seem sad at all, and she didn't care what choice Chu Jinglan made!
"Who pushed Yaru into the water in your opinion?" The queen mother raised her brows, revealing a touch of majesty.
Ye Huaiyang groaned for a while, and gave an unexpected answer: "The minister thought it was an accident."
The queen mother gave her a heavy look, and Li Guang poured out in an instant, stabbing people all over, like falling into an ice cave.
accident? The hesitation on her face can be seen clearly by others, and there must be something secret that they dare not say. The queen mother pursed her lips for a moment in deep thought, and what Bai Zhixuan said flashed in her mind, like a wandering silk thread, and all the fragments suddenly passed through.
She insisted that Ye Huaiyang wanted to get rid of Wang Yaru because of jealousy and hatred. She might not be the one who was really hated by jealousy!
Bai Zhixuan and Chu Jinglan had a marriage contract, although she entered the palace later, but no one can guarantee that she had forgotten Chu Jinglan in her heart. Before Wang Yaru entered the palace to report to the Queen Mother, she did not mention that Ye Huaiyang had contact with Chu Jinglan. She stayed at the Lan Palace every day, and she knew the most about it, and there could be no fakes.
Before contacting Chu Jinglan secretly rescued Bai Xingzhi, the Queen Mother became more sure of what she was thinking in her heart. It is no wonder that Ye Huaiyang hesitated to say it. Chu Jinglan was still sitting at the table. How could she dare to speak out about it?
No wonder Chu Jinglan entered the palace for the first time, and others said that he had a deep affection for his concubine, and it turned out that it was a drunkard who meant not drinking!
The queen mother's thoughts rolled around for a few times, and finally returned to what was in front of her. She knew that Ye Huaiyang would definitely not say anything in this situation, so she had to find another opportunity to ask her alone.
At this moment, the queen slowly said: "Sister, if it is an accident like Miss Ye said, the mother will not blame you more. You might as well be honest, and this palace can give the Wang family an explanation."
Bai Zhixuan almost crushed her silver teeth when she heard the words. Although she pushed people down by mistake, she would never let Ye Huaiyang design all this!
"Mother, this is not an accident! Ye Huaiyang deliberately angered his concubines..."
The queen mother was furious, and shouted at Bai Zhixuan: "Shut up! Are you not making enough jokes today! If it wasn't for the dragonborn in your belly, the Aijia will deal with you!"
This is already very serious. Bai Zhixuan has never seen such a fierce posture before dealing with the Queen Mother. She suddenly turned pale, and could not say a word. The Queen took the opportunity to finish the conversation.
"The mother's anger is calmed down, and my sister must be unconscious for a while. Why don't you ask about it today? When she returns to Zhuoxinyuan and thinks it through, everything will be clear."
The queen mother was slightly angry and snorted coldly: "Zuo Xin Yuan? If it can clean her heart, it would be great!"
"Mother, don't worry, the child minister will look at her sister to make her reflect. You must not be angry."
After finishing speaking, the queen winked at the side, and several court ladies immediately stepped forward and took Bai Zhixuan away. Bai Zhixuan's face was ashamed. She didn't know if she was frightened or was unwell. She didn't say a word. They fiddled.
The queen's gaze then returned to Ye Huaiyang's body. She knelt silently, her lips pale and her breathing was heavy. Obviously it was the end of the force. The queen waved her hand and said, "Ms. Ye will also go back to the house to rest. Well, I will call you into the palace after the palace has investigated it in detail."
"The courtier obeyed."
Ye Huaiyang walked out of the hall vainly. Before long, Chu Jinglan swept away and got up and said: "It's getting late, and the minister has retired first. If the empress has found the truth, please inform Yu Chen."
"Of course." The queen smiled slightly and watched Chu Jinglan leave.
It was already dark outside at this moment, the bright moon escaped into the clouds, the long palace alleys were not illuminated by candlelights, and they were all black, almost invisible, and the willow branches, flowers and vines in the daytime were all ghosts. Like a shadow, dangling back and forth in front of the eyes, especially crippled.
Ye Huaiyang kept thinking about whether there was anything wrong with what she had just said, and she didn't pay attention to the surroundings. When she turned a corner, she suddenly stretched out a hand in the shadow and dragged her into the crevice of the rockery. She was dizzy. Smell the familiar sweet pine flavor.
"Ye Huaiyang, you are so good."
She looked at the man gritted his teeth in the dark and smiled softly.
"Uncle Lan's feet are so fast, he will catch up."
