The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne
Chapter 75: Court Dispute
"you wanna die!"
When Xia Ruoxi saw Ye Qianxuan, she was surprised that he dared to offend her at the morning court session after her triumphant return. Her eyes widened and she was about to attack!
Duan Zhenggang and Kong Zhongzhi are about to stop them!
At this moment, the empress came out from the inner court and sat on the phoenix chair, with the blue bird standing beside her.
"Go up!"
The bluebird called out.
Stop the fighting!
Xia Ruoxi glared at Ye Qianxuan fiercely, then took her place with the other ministers and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
The empress glanced at the ministers in the hall, her eyes moving from the left prime minister to the minister of revenue Qian Jianan, then to Xia Ruoxi, and finally to Ye Qianxuan, revealing a sinister smile.
"Be flat!"
Today, there will definitely be a big show!
All ministers, please stand up straight.
The Empress said, "General Hongxiu has made great contributions by conquering Nanwu Linshi City and beheading the defenders of Linshi City!"
"For his triumphant return to the court, I appoint him General Baiyu, promote him to the third rank, and grant him ten thousand taels of silver as a reward!"
Qingniao greeted them, and then two eunuchs came out with a box of silver and placed it in the court.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xia Ruoxi bowed and looked happy!
Ministers in the court congratulated one after another!
Xia Ruoxi bowed repeatedly, and then looked at Ye Qianxuan with sarcasm and viciousness!
See it!
This is the gap between you and me!
Ye Qianxuan remained calm and composed.
"Okay, let's begin the court discussion!"
"My dear ministers, do you have anything to say?"
The empress asked calmly.
The ministers in the court stood in silence, but the Minister of Revenue Qian Jianan stepped forward, glanced at the chief eunuch Zhao Wuji standing beside the empress, and bowed:
"Your Majesty! I am submitting a memorial to impeach the Imperial Household Chief, Zhao Wuji, for instructing the corpse tailor, Ye Qianxuan, to kill me and my comrades, but after failing to do so, he attempted to use his brother to poison us to silence us!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion among the ministers in the court!
The empress looked surprised and looked at Qian Jianan: "Minister Qian, this statement should not be taken lightly. Do you have any evidence?"
Qian Jianan bowed and said, "I have the confessions of Ye the Carpenter from Corpse Sewing Street and his brother Ye Haomo!"
"Your Majesty, I beg you to punish Zhao Wuji for causing chaos in the court!"
Ye Qianxuan also stood up and bowed, saying, "I am willing to testify!"
But Xia Ruoxi shouted, "This is a court meeting! How can a lowly corpse-sewer like you have the right to speak?"
Then, she immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I think we should not just listen to one side of the story. We should listen to what my husband, Ye Haomo, has to say!"
Zhao Wuji also prostrated himself before the Empress, his voice muffled and sullen, "Your Majesty! I am busy with palace affairs. How could I possibly have the time to instruct Ye Xiuzhuan to poison Ye Jiangren?"
"As for Minister Qian's talk of causing chaos in the court, that's sheer nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
The fight has begun!
The ministers in the court were all very surprised at this moment!
Because they discovered that the center of this huge struggle in the court was actually around Ye Qianxuan, a lowly corpse seamstress!
It's really horrifying!
A mere lowly corpse seamstress actually stirred up the turmoil among the three major groups!
The empress nodded slightly, as if thinking about something, and then said lightly:
"This matter is indeed suspicious. Summon Ye Haomo to the court for a face-to-face confrontation!"
Afterwards, the empress gave an order and Qingniao immediately brought Ye Haomo up!
"Ye Haomo, were you instructed by the chief eunuch to poison your brother Ye Qianxuan?" the empress asked with narrowed eyes.
When Ye Haomo saw Xia Ruoxi here, he immediately felt reassured and cried out in injustice:
"Your Majesty! My brother and I are as close as brothers. How could I possibly poison him?"
"I am of low status and have never even met Manager Zhao!"
"Also, I am submitting a memorial to impeach the Minister of Revenue, Qian Jianan, for using lynching and forcing a confession!"
"The whip marks on my face are proof!"
"My poor old mother was brutally attacked by Qian Jianan and is in imminent danger!"
"I hope your Majesty will understand clearly!"
Ye Haomo spoke with such sincerity and tears that the ministers in the court were slightly agitated and began to discuss in low voices.
Qian Jianan immediately widened his eyes and looked at Ye Haomo. This kid actually changed his confession in court!
"Your Majesty! I have his signed testimony!" Qian Jianan bowed!
"Your Majesty! I am an upright person and would rather die than surrender. This is something all my comrades know!"
"Even if I face caning, I still refuse to admit to something I didn't do!"
"That day, I remained silent like a gentleman. Seeing that I was unwilling to make a false accusation, they knocked me unconscious and then signed the testimony!"
"What that testimony is, I have no idea!"
"My poor old mother has paid the price for my uprightness! Woo woo woo!"
Ye Haomo cried inconsolably, as if an upright person had suffered a great injustice!
Ye Qianxuan sneered, she is indeed a thousand-year-old green tea, she is really good at pretending!
Xia Ruoxi was deeply moved and stepped forward to bow, saying, "Your Majesty, I led my troops on the battlefield, not seeking wealth or glory, but only justice!"
"I was away fighting, and my family suffered such injustice. I must give him an explanation!"
Zhao Wuji also bowed and said, "I am a loyal servant who has always fulfilled my duties. I really have no time to leave the palace, let alone poisoning! Your Majesty, please investigate this case thoroughly and clear my name."
The empress's gaze fell on Ye Qianxuan.
Ye Qianxuan sneered in his heart, walked out and said: "I agree to thoroughly investigate this case!"
"However, Chief Steward Zhao, General Xia, and Ye Haomo, if this matter involves more acts of rebellion against the imperial court, what will we do?"
The three people's contemptuous expressions suddenly changed, and they all heard the hidden meaning!
Zhao Wuji's eyes flickered, Ye Haomo looked confused, but Xia Ruoxi was extremely confident!
"Ye Qianxuan! Stop talking nonsense here. If you have evidence, show it to me!"
Xia Ruoxi shouted sternly!
"Okay!" Ye Qianxuan sneered, then looked at Ye Haomo: "Brother, you said you are upright and honest. Even when facing a lash, you remain silent like a gentleman, right?"
"Of course! Brother, you should understand my gentlemanly character." Ye Haomo was certain that Ye Qianxuan could not produce any substantial evidence!
As long as I die without saying a word, what can you do to me!
"Okay! Then tell me, who is this?"
Ye Qianxuan immediately took out the Taoist photo stone and projected the scene of Ye Haomo in the interrogation room that day onto the court!
Everyone was totally shocked!
Everyone has heard of this Taoist photo stone that can record and project photos!
This Ye Qianxuan is actually a Taoist disciple?!
It shouldn’t be!
How could a dignified Taoist disciple become a slave and become a corpse seamstress?!
But he is not a Taoist disciple, so where did he get the Taoist magic weapon like the Photo Stone?
Everyone in the audience was stunned, watching Ye Haomo's confession that day quietly, and then suddenly realized!
What a bullshit of being upright and unyielding and refusing to yield!
He confessed after being whipped twice!
What a soft one!
If Ye Qianxuan didn’t have this Taoist photo stone, he would have really been fooled by this coward!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Ye Haomo with contempt!
At this moment, Ye Haomo's face had turned pale!
Xia Ruoxi's face also turned pale!
She never expected that Ye Qianxuan actually had such a method!
Speaking of Ye Haomo, he is really too soft!
Is he really his good son-in-law?
The happiest person was Qian Jianan. It was the first time he thanked Ye Qianxuan so much. He immediately jumped out and pointed at the chief eunuch Zhao Wuji and said:
"You old eunuch! What else do you have to say?"
The chief eunuch Zhao Wuji immediately knelt on the ground and cried out loudly:
"Your Majesty! Ye Haomo is slandering me!"
"That day, I was serving the Third Princess at Changnan Palace!"
"There's absolutely no time to meet Ye Haomo!"
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the Third Princess and the eunuch on duty at Changnan Palace that day!"
"This Ye Haomo must have been framed by a traitor and wants to falsely accuse me! He deserves death!"
"I request that Your Majesty investigate the matter thoroughly and then behead Ye Haomo in public as a warning to others!"
At that moment, Ye Haomo and Xia Ruoxi were both stunned!
its not right!
Shouldn't Zhao Wuji be on their side?
Ye Qianxuan smiled slightly, everything was as expected!
This Zhao Wuji really started to shift the blame and turn against his allies!
Because if he doesn't shake it off, it will be too late!
