The leaves fall without parallel

The more Ye Qingge thought about it, the more upset she became. She simply stopped thinking about it and fell into a deep sleep.

What she didn't know was that during her nap, a huge commotion had broken out outside.

As dusk approached, Ye Shaobai hurried back home.

"Qingge, Qingge, hurry up and get up. Why are you still sleeping? No, how can you still sleep so soundly?"

Ye Shaobai pushed the door open and saw her good sister still sleeping on the bed, practicing Tai Chi with Zhou Gong.

Ye Qingge was still asleep when her brother woke her up. She opened her eyes and lay lazily on the bed, not intending to get up.

"Brother, what happened?"

Seeing her calm demeanor, Ye Shaobai felt that his sister had a really good attitude.

"Qingge, such a big thing happened, and you didn't say a word when you came back. Are you still trying to hide it from us?"

Ye Qingge just woke up and her mind is a little slow to catch up

"Nothing happened to me."

"Did you beat up the Prime Minister's daughter, Lin Ruoyue, today?"

Ye Shaobai felt it necessary to remind her that she could forget such a big thing.

Ye Qingge thought for a moment and said

"Yes, I did beat her, and then Prince Xuan arrested her and took her to the Ministry of Justice."

Her light words seemed to say that the weather was very good today.

"You beat someone up, and you can still sleep?"

"She provoked me first, so I hit her. Brother, don't be so excited. Whose side are you on?"

"Of course I stand on your side, but you hit someone so openly that the Prime Minister has already reported it to the Emperor, demanding an explanation from our Ye Mansion."

"what?"

Ye Qingge jumped up from the bed

"So what's the situation now?"

Ye Shaobai said unhappily

"You know you're in a hurry now, but you were so leisurely just now."

"My dear brother, tell me quickly, tell me quickly"

"Dad was called to the palace, and I rushed back after hearing the news."

"What? No one informed me about such a big thing as my father entering the palace. No, everyone has their own responsibilities. I will go to the palace to meet the emperor and explain this matter to him."

Ye Qingge got out of bed in a panic and couldn't even put on her shoes properly. She couldn't let her father get into trouble for what she did.

Ye Shaobai quickly pressed her shoulders and forced her to calm down.

"Qingge, listen to me, you can't just enter the palace whenever you want. You are not allowed to enter the palace without the emperor's summons."

"What should I do? Daddy will be alright, right? I can't let him get hurt."

"Tell me first, what happened? Why did you hit her suddenly? Let me analyze it."

Ye Qingge calmed down and told the whole story from beginning to end.

"I see. I was wondering why you hit her for no reason. It turns out she's the one causing trouble again."

Although his sister hated Lin Ruoyue, she was sensible in her actions. He believed that she would not attack Lin Ruoyue for no reason. He was right.

"But brother, Dad doesn't know the whole story. What if the Prime Minister leads us by the nose?"

"Prince Xuan entered the palace with my father. I think if he was there at the time, he would have explained everything to the emperor and also to my father in advance. Don't worry, let's wait and see."

If the prince also entered the palace, she would feel relieved, but would he excuse himself? After all, he had a criminal record. Thinking of this, she began to worry again.

Royal Palace

The prime minister knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."

"My dear, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, today General Ye's daughter, Ye Qingge, assaulted my daughter in the street. She is now lying on the bed, dying. The doctor said her head is bruised, her internal organs are severely damaged, and her lumbar vertebrae are fractured. She is hanging on by a thread. Your Majesty, I am old and cannot withstand such a blow. Please help me."

The prime minister was in tears, and the emperor had no choice but to summon Ye Qing.

Xiao Lingche had been waiting for Ye Qing at the palace gate. He told Ye Qing what had happened.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me."

"This incident was caused by Lin Ruoyue, and I was the one who arrested her. General Ye, don't worry. I will explain everything to my father."

Ye Qing bowed

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

The two entered the palace together

Ye Qing knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor

"Your Majesty, I have seen you."

The emperor still respected Ye Qing very much. After all, there were very few people like him who were loyal and knew how to handle things properly. However, due to the prime minister's face, he could only handle the matter impartially.

"General Ye, do you know that your daughter beat up the Prime Minister's daughter? Now that her life is in imminent danger, does General Ye have anything to say?"

Ye Qing replied calmly

"Your Majesty, I, Qingge, did strike the Prime Minister's daughter. However, it was the Prime Minister's daughter who struck first, and I only struck back in self-defense. Your Majesty, please understand."

The prime minister was unhappy when he heard this.

"Can you beat someone up like that in self-defense? This is clearly intentional injury and murder!"

Xiao Lingche said at the right time

"Your Majesty, I was also there at the time. Miss Lin, accompanied by over ten palace guards, was chasing Miss Ye and Miss Xie, the daughter of the Minister of Rites. It was indeed Miss Lin who initiated the attack, and Miss Ye pushed her to the ground in self-defense."

How come there is another daughter of the Minister of Rites? The emperor rubbed his temples.

"Your Majesty, my daughter is seriously injured. It's impossible that she was just pushed to the ground."

The Prime Minister was unyielding

"Because she swung the whip at me, and I grabbed it, and she accidentally fell forward. I only acted in self-defense. The Prime Minister has truly raised a good daughter!"

Xiao Lingche deliberately emphasized the last three words.

"What? Is Che'er hurt?"

"Your Majesty, I am fine."

"Lord Lin, how do you explain this?"

The emperor was slightly angry at this time. How dare he attack his son?

The Prime Minister didn't know how things turned out like this, and said quickly

"Your Majesty, perhaps I was so angry that I lost my mind and accidentally confronted Your Majesty. I don't think I meant any disrespect to Your Majesty."

"So Lord Lin admits that your daughter whipped someone?"

The emperor looked at him sharply

"Uh... well, Your Majesty, although I whipped someone, I didn't hit anyone. General Ye's daughter was unharmed. On the other hand, I am still lying in bed unable to move. Today's incident was also caused by General Ye's daughter. Your Majesty, please do not be unfair."

"Since the Prime Minister has said so, I have no choice but to tell the truth. The cause of this matter is that Ling Qianjin was jealous and tried to compete with Miss Ye, so she actually spent 100,000 taels on things from Ruyifang. In such a national crisis, Ling Qianjin was really willing to spend money, which really subverted the Prime Minister's usual image of being frugal and thrifty."

Xiao Lingche paused and continued

"And she later took it out on Miss Ye. Miss Ye didn't force her to buy anything, yet she chased and beat her. If Miss Ye had no ability to defend herself, would she have to be beaten to death for the Prime Minister to be satisfied?"

At this time, the emperor was completely furious after hearing the whole story.
