Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Ye Youlan sneered: "You didn't go home yesterday, so you did something so bad in the palace?"

The Seventh Prince waved his hands quickly, his cold features now turning red with anxiety: "Believe me, I didn't. I just drank some porridge yesterday."

The Seventh Prince raised his eyes to look at his mother, his gaze stern and stern: "Mother, did you ask someone to put drugs in the porridge?"

The Queen Mother angrily scolded, "Ke'er, you are talking nonsense. You were tempted by beauty and molested your cousin Ruyi, and now you are blaming her for it. You are so angry that I am dying."

The Seventh Prince couldn't remember what happened last night. He looked at Ye Youlan blankly, his eyes helpless, longing for her trust. Could it be that even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it?

He tried to calm himself down and asked the Queen Mother to summon Li Zhi in. He should have been with her last night.

Li Zhi came in with a serious expression. He said that he had wanted to help the prince leave the palace last night, but the queen mother told him to stay and rest for a while to avoid getting drunk and upsetting the princess. So he went to wait outside the palace until dawn, and then the queen mother asked me to go back and invite the princess.

The Queen Mother was annoyed. "It's all my fault. I felt sorry for Ke'er and wanted to let him rest for a while. I forgot that I had a niece in the palace. Young people are full of blood and make mistakes. It's my fault for not taking good care of my own children."

Ye Youlan sneered in her heart, what a good actor.

The Seventh Prince clenched his fists so tightly that his joints could be heard crackling. His panicked gaze gradually calmed down. "Mother, there's something strange about this. I was resting in my room, so why did Ruyi come into my room?"

Ye Youlan admired the Seventh Prince in her heart for being able to remain calm at this time. She looked at the Queen Mother and then her gaze fell on the face of the woman named Ruyi. She was indeed good-looking.

The Queen Mother was stunned. She didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she looked at Ruyi.

Ruyi didn't dare look at anyone, just staring at the ground, choking with sobs, she said, "I just entered the palace and wasn't very familiar with it. I went out for a walk at night, and on my way back I got lost and went into the wrong room. As a result, the result..."

"You're new here and unfamiliar with the palace. Why didn't you bring your maid? Also, the palace is heavily guarded. How did you manage to avoid the guards and enter my room?"

Ruyi's tears began to flow non-stop, and she sobbed uncontrollably: "How should I know! If I had known, I would have avoided the humiliation."

The Queen Mother couldn't bear it any longer.

"Ke'er, what girl would joke about her innocence? She's my cousin, and she's only been in the palace for two days and something like this has happened. How can I face your uncle? How can I face the people of this world? This matter shouldn't be made public. Bring her back home and it's a family matter. We can discuss how to deal with it."

The Seventh Prince looked at Ye Youlan, but Ye Youlan pretended not to see him.

"Mother, I will not admit to anything I didn't do. You can do whatever you want with me."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she scolded: "Nonsense."

The Queen Mother looked at Ye Youlan, "Youlan, what do you say we should do? I know you are sensible and intelligent. Find a way to preserve Ruyi's reputation, and for me to preserve the reputation of the royal family."

Ye Youlan smiled calmly: "Mother, can I ask Ruyi a few questions?"

The Queen Mother nodded.

Youlan asked everyone else to leave, leaving only four people in the hall: the Queen Mother, Prince Youlan, and Ruyi.

"Did you take a shower after the accident?"

Ruyi shook her head: "After I was humiliated, I came to the Queen Mother and asked my aunt to make the decision for me. How could I have the mind to wash and dress?"

Ye Youlan turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Ask the imperial physician to examine Ruyi. If she is not a virgin and she was not cleansed after being humiliated, then there must be something from the prince inside her. If not, then it is a false accusation. If so, then I will take her back to the palace."

Seeing several people staring at her in surprise, Ye Youlan added, "I hope I can be there during the inspection. We will speak with facts and be fair and just."

The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, and she said with some embarrassment, "Wouldn't this let more people know about this? It wouldn't be good for Ruyi or Ke'er."

Ye Youlan said disapprovingly, "It would be bad if we don't check. The prince will always be blamed for this, and we will also have a rift between us. Even if Ruyi follows him to the palace, how can we get along with her?"

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and stared at Ruyi: "Ruyi, I will give you one more chance. Tell me the truth, did your cousin do that to you?"

Upon hearing this, Ruyi kowtowed and admitted her fault: "Please forgive me, Auntie. I just admired my cousin and was greedy for a moment. Please forgive me this time for my father's sake."

The Queen Mother sighed deeply: "You little girl, why can't you tell your aunt directly? Why did you have to make such a scene? How will this end now?"

Ye Youlan smiled: "This matter is easy to resolve. Ruyi was just confused for a moment. The prince will not bother with her for the sake of the queen mother. Send her out of the palace and find someone to marry!"

The Queen Mother didn't know what to say anymore. She looked at her son with guilt, then rewarded Ye Youlan with some jewelry and silk as a consolation to her. Ye Youlan accepted them without hesitation.

After leaving the Queen Mother's Palace, the Seventh Prince reached out to hold Ye Youlan's hand, but Ye Youlan dodged him, took a step to the side, and kept a distance from him.

The Seventh Prince stopped and asked, "Do you dislike me?"

Ye Youlan ignored him and continued walking forward, with the Seventh Prince following behind. The two of them, one in front and one behind, attracted the curiosity of the palace servants passing by. Some commented that it seemed the Seventh Prince and Princess' relationship wasn't improving.

The two of them got on the carriage, and the Seventh Prince looked at Ye Youlan cautiously with a gloomy look.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Ye Youlan looked away and remained silent.

The Seventh Prince came over and sat beside her. Ye Youlan stood up and moved to the other side, but was pulled back by the Seventh Prince: "Ye Youlan, don't be silent."

Ye Youlan closed her eyes and covered her ears, refusing to see or hear.

The two returned to the palace in silence.

After entering the room, Ye Youlan sat in front of the dressing table and took off the pearl hairpin on her head. She looked at the frightened Seventh Prince in the mirror, trying hard not to laugh.

She stood up, took off her outer clothes, and called Xiaomei to bring in some tea.

The Seventh Prince shouted, "No one is allowed to come in."

The Seventh Prince domineeringly pulled Ye Youlan over, pushed her down on the bed, and ordered: "You must talk to me, you can't ignore me."

Ye Youlan asked jokingly, "What do I want to tell you? I've been very considerate today. What else do you want from me? Bring Ruyi back to live with us?"

The Seventh Prince's eyes were bloodshot, and he suppressed his anger: "I tell you, I never touched her from beginning to end."

"But you were drugged. Maybe you even forgot what you did."

The Seventh Prince stood up and said, "I didn't do it. Ruyi's reluctance to examine her body just now proves that I am innocent."
