After asking a series of questions, Emperor Beichen felt that he was a very patient and people-friendly emperor. If he had been a little more irritable, he would have had him dragged out and beaten to death based on the brainless words he said.

"My name is Ye Qixian, and I am a scholar. Wenshu is the eldest daughter of the Yun family. She has a gentle personality and is the girl I have always admired. Some time ago, she was sent to the general's mansion by her parents, but was sent out again not long after. She was infected with an epidemic and died soon after. Before she died, she told me that the princess was jealous of her and was jealous that she was favored by the general, so she slandered her and harmed people in the general's mansion..."

"Wait, you said the General's Mansion. What does this Manjusri have to do with the General's Mansion?"

Ye Qixian was interrupted by Emperor Beichen before he could finish his words. He thought to himself, if I let this idiot speak for himself, I wonder what he will end up talking about next, so he just started asking himself.

"Wenshu's grandmother and the old lady of the general's mansion were distant relatives. The Yun family sent Wenshu to the general's mansion because they hoped that the general's mansion would find a powerful family for Wenshu in Kyoto, so that the Yun family could get her. But Wenshu herself disagreed, and she was coerced by her family. But after arriving at the general's mansion, the general actually fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. As a result, she aroused the jealousy of the princess, and that's how she lost her life!"

At this time, Emperor Beichen finally understood the whole story and could not help but sneered. Let's not talk about who Ye Qixian is. Let's talk about this woman called Wenshu first. She said that Nangong Yuanxi fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. Emperor Beichen knew that this woman must be a liar. But in order to prevent this idiot from continuing to misunderstand Han Yiyi, he continued to ask,

"How do you know these things? Did that man named Manjusri tell you?"

When Ye Qixian heard Emperor Beichen's question, a trace of anger and pain flashed in his eyes, and he spoke after a moment.

"Yes, Wenshu told me before she left. She is so kind and has never told a lie, so it is impossible that she lied to me. Things must be as she said. The princess was jealous of her for winning the general's heart, so she designed to harm her!"

Seeing that this man firmly believed that Manjusri could not have lied to him, Emperor Beichen lost interest in continuing to preach and simply gave a wink to Chu Yun beside him, asking him to go and invite Old Madam Nangong over.

Chu Yun accepted the order and withdrew, thinking that his life was really miserable! He hadn't even been punished by the Ten Courts yet, and now he was ordered to do something else.

"Wait, I'll ask someone to invite Madam Nangong over and let her tell you the whole story in person. How can we only listen to one side of the story?"

As soon as Emperor Beichen finished speaking, Ye Qixian wanted to speak again to defend Yun Wenshu, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the rag that had been thrown on the ground was stuffed into his mouth again.

It turned out to be the chief eunuch standing by. Noticing Emperor Beichen's impatience, he picked up the rag on the ground and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

I thought to myself, this matter only concerns the princess, and I don't want people to misunderstand the princess and ruin her reputation. That's why my emperor has such good patience and lets him talk nonsense!

If it were someone else, they would have dragged her out directly. I have to say that the emperor was really good to this newly canonized princess of a different surname, even better than the several legitimate princesses in the palace!

The chief eunuch here was thinking that he must be more respectful to Princess Changning in the future.

Emperor Beichen saw the rag stuffed into Ye Qixian's mouth and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He looked at the eunuch chief beside him and thought to himself, not bad, he is worthy of being an old man who has followed him for so many years, and he still has some understanding of my thoughts.

When Old Lady Nangong heard that Emperor Beichen summoned her to the palace again, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. They had just come out of the palace not long ago, so why was they summoned again? She couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, do you know why the emperor summoned my husband and me?"

"Madam, you can just call me Chu Yun. His Majesty only said that he summoned you. As for what it is, I dare not say anything. His Majesty still needs it, please see!"

Chu Yun thought to himself, you'd better hurry up, because I have to go and receive my punishment after I finish my task. "The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn." It's so uncomfortable to keep dragging this matter on.

When Old Lady Nangong heard that Emperor Beichen only summoned her, she became even more confused. Seeing Chu Yun's serious face, she couldn't help but worry.

Nangong Ling, who was standing by, saw his wife's expression and hurriedly walked a few steps towards Chu Yun. He took out a silver note from his sleeve and put it into Chu Yun's hand.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please take it and drink some tea. Madam is old and can't stand any stimulation. If you know anything, please let me know in advance so that we can be mentally prepared!"

In fact, as a member of the Nangong family and an elder in the court, Nangong Ling did not need to do so. Even Emperor Beichen himself had to give him some face.

But as people often say, "To serve the emperor is like serving a tiger." Maybe the emperor will suddenly go crazy and make up some unfounded things. Or maybe not, wasn't Ye Li an example before?

Chu Yun naturally knew Nangong Ling's status in Beichen, and originally didn't want to accept it, but when he thought that he would have to see a doctor after being beaten, he accepted it reluctantly.

Since I have accepted the banknote, I naturally have to say a few words, so I opened my mouth and spoke.

"It's nothing serious, it's just about the assassination of the princess today. The emperor wants to ask the old lady something!"

After hearing Chu Yun say this, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when Old Lady Nangong arrived at the imperial study and saw the person kneeling on the ground, who was the one who assassinated Han Yiyi today, she couldn't help but frown. Before she could figure out why this person was here, she heard the majestic voice of Emperor Beichen.

"Madam, take a look, do you know this person?"

After hearing what Emperor Beichen said, Old Lady Nangong couldn't help but become even more confused. She looked at Ye Qixian carefully again before speaking.

"Your Majesty, do you recognize me?"

"Ye Qixian, do you know this old lady?"

When the eunuch chief heard what Emperor Beichen said, he hurried forward and took the rag out of Ye Qixian's mouth.

"I don't know you!"

"This is the old lady of the general's mansion who is a relative of Yun Wenshu's grandmother. Now that she is here, let her tell us what happened to Yun Wenshu when he was in the general's mansion. But it is really as you said, Yun Wenshu's death is related to the princess!"

When Old Madam Nangong heard that this matter was actually related to Yun Wenshu, she couldn't help but frown.
