The soul-transmigrating princess was neglected, and the twins beat up their father

Concubine Lan snorted coldly, her tone icy, "Hmph! You said Xue'er was like this at home. If you knew this, why didn't you tell me before they got married? Why did you tell me after they got married? Are you despising the royal family and making fun of them? What are your intentions?"

After saying that, Lan Fei stared straight at Ye Xinrou with a sharp gaze, as if she wanted to see through her eyes to see through her innermost thoughts.

Facing Concubine Lan's questioning, Ye Xinrou's eyes wandered, not daring to meet her gaze. She hesitantly explained, "Please forgive me, Concubine Lan. Even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare disrespect the royal family. I've always wanted to tell Your Highness about this, but you were so fond of me at the time that you insisted that He marry me. My sister came to me, begging me to keep it a secret, even threatening her own life. I couldn't bear to refuse, so I softened my heart and kept silent."

As soon as she finished speaking, the emperor immediately scolded her angrily: "What nonsense! Even if Concubine Lan likes Ye Chuxue, it does not prevent you from speaking out about this matter. Do you know what crime it is to slander the princess!" His voice was like thunder, shaking the hearts of everyone present.

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Concubine Lan with a look of seeking credit, and Concubine Lan gave the emperor an appreciative look.

Ye Xinrou was terrified at this moment. Her eyes were filled with panic. She knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Everything I said is true. There is absolutely no lie."

Ye Chuxue sneered, "Yes, you didn't tell a single lie; it was all lies. Ye Xinrou, I've never argued with you about anything, so why are you doing this? You said I approached you before we got married? I begged you desperately. When did our relationship become so close? I actually let you risk disrespecting the royal family by keeping it a secret for me?"

Ye Xinrou pretended to be wronged and said, "Sister, you are the legitimate daughter. If I don't make friends with you, how can I, a concubine's daughter, have a good life?"

Ye Chuxue clapped her hands. "Haha, everyone knows that I, the legitimate daughter, am not favored by my parents. No one even came to see me off when I got married. And you, the concubine's daughter, live an even more glorious life than me, the legitimate daughter. Are you afraid that I won't give you a good life? You must have said the opposite!"

Ye Xinrou was speechless for a moment. She lowered her head, a hint of viciousness flashed across her face, and she thought to herself: Why didn't I see this bitch being so eloquent before? Didn't she never talk back when I beat and scolded her in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Seeing that she remained silent, Ye Chuxue continued, "Aren't you feeling sorry for him? Then why did you tell the prince so soon after we got married? And it was such a coincidence that after you finished speaking, that servant happened to walk out of my room?"

Ye Xinrou was completely panicked at this moment, but she forced herself to raise her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "Sister, I saw that servant secretly go to the palace to look for you, and I felt guilty towards the prince. I couldn't get over it, so I told the prince about it."

Ye Chuxue looked at her with disdain: "Didn't you say that I had an affair with that servant before I got married? But I remember that servant was bought to the Prime Minister's Mansion after I got married. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion's housekeeper to get the servant's indenture and check the time."

Ye Xinrou thought about how everything she knew about the servant had been destroyed, and how Yun Muheng had killed him in a fit of rage, leaving her with no evidence at all. Thinking of this, Ye Xinrou's lips curled up slightly, and she thought sinisterly: "Investigate, investigate. If there's nothing in the end, I'll see how you end up. Then you'll be the one telling all the lies!"

She raised her head and said tearfully, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. Please follow my sister's instructions and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get the indenture of the slave to prove my innocence."

The emperor was about to ask someone to go to the Prime Minister's residence when a steady male voice came: "Father, there's no need to go."

Everyone's eyes turned to the door.

A tall, straight-limbed man with a stern demeanor approached steadily. He wore a gorgeous brocade robe, intricately embroidered with patterns, and a jade belt tied around his waist, giving him an air of dignity. His face was handsome and resolute, his deep eyes gleaming with a restrained radiance. Beneath his high nose, his lips curved slightly upward, a barely perceptible smile etched on them.

When Ye Chuxue saw the man's face clearly, she was utterly shocked. A thousand horses raced through her mind, and she thought to herself, "Oh my god, how can this guy look so much like the scumbag who hurt me before my soul traveled through time? Did he travel through time too? That shouldn't be the case! He and that green tea bitch should be living a carefree life with the research I left behind. Could he be dead too?"

The man walked forward, looked at Ye Chuxue with a deep and ambiguous gaze, then slowly knelt on the ground with an elegant and respectful movement, and then said softly: "Your son pays homage to the emperor, and to the Empress Lan." His voice was low and gentle, full of respect.

When Ye Chuxue heard the man's words, she was slightly startled. She turned to look at Lan Fei, a hint of confusion and shock in her eyes.

Concubine Lan noticed Ye Chuxue's gaze, smiled, and gently leaned close to her ear and explained in a low voice: "This is the fourth prince Yun Muzhe - King Yun Ning. His biological mother was just an ordinary palace maid. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and died shortly after giving birth to him. Therefore, he was raised by the Queen Mother since he was a child, and he has a deep affection for the Queen Mother." After speaking, Concubine Lan sighed softly, and a hint of regret appeared in her eyes.

At this time, the emperor asked calmly, "Get up, no need to be so polite. Why did you come here so suddenly today?"

Yun Muze stood up and bowed his head as he replied, "Father, I came here this time precisely because of the matter concerning my fifth brother and his wife. After leaving court, I had originally intended to go to the Empress Dowager's palace to pay my respects, but I happened to run into a eunuch at the palace gate who was delivering a message. Out of curiosity, I inquired about the situation and unexpectedly learned about the matter concerning my fifth brother and his wife."

Then, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Bring the person up."

When the guards brought the person up, Ye Xinrou's eyes instantly turned into horror. She subconsciously clenched her hands, her long nails digging into her flesh, blood flowing down, but she didn't feel any pain.

Yun Muze said to the emperor, "Father, this is Wang Si, the servant that Ye Xinrou mentioned having an affair with Ye Chuxue."

Yun Muheng walked forward and looked at Wang Si suspiciously: "Weren't you killed by me? How did you come back to life?"

After hearing this, Ye Xinrou seemed to see hope again in her eyes, and her voice was filled with anxiety: "Yes, Your Majesty, he is fake, and that servant has been killed by Prince Yunxin."

Yun Muze narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Xinrou unhappily, and said in a cold voice: "What? Are you questioning this king?"

Yun Muze then looked at Yun Muheng and said, "I met this man on my way back to the palace. He was seriously injured and lying in the middle of the road. I brought him back to the palace and had someone treat him. He said he had offended someone and was being hunted, and he hoped that I would take him in. I felt sorry for him, so I let him work as a handyman in the palace."

He looked at Ye Chuxue and continued, "Later, I accidentally learned that he was originally from the Prime Minister's Mansion. I asked him if he wanted to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. At that time, his eyes were full of fear, so I didn't ask any more questions and let him stay."

"Until today, when I saw my father-in-law talking about my fifth brother and his wife, I thought of Wang Si. After returning home, under my questioning, he finally told the truth."
