Chapter 620: Settlement, All Grudges
After Yun Mujiu's guidance, everyone at the scene thought of a possibility.
That is, the handkerchief does not belong to the eldest lady of the Yun family, but to the second lady of the Yun family, Yun Shirou!
Yun Shirou's face couldn't be paler. As early as when Wu Mingwei picked up the handkerchief, her heart was in turmoil. This was her handkerchief, but how could it appear in the main hall?
What Yun Shirou didn't know was that Yun Mujiu deliberately threw a woman's handkerchief into the inner room in order to mislead Princess Gaoyang and Wu Mingwei.
The handkerchief was taken from Yun Shirou by Yun Mujiu. She knew that Yun Shirou had colluded with Princess Gaoyang and others to murder her. As early as the beginning of the banquet, Princess Gaoyang forced her to play the piano for the dancers. She took the opportunity to push Yun Shirou onto the stage and took a piece of Yun Shirou's handkerchief.
Since Yun Shirou was so restless, she had no choice but to use a little trick to create more trouble for Yun Shirou.
Yun Xiang glared at Yun Shirou, his eyes full of warning. How could he do such a thing! Even his handkerchief was picked up by someone, and it was picked up in such an embarrassing environment!
Yun Shirou knelt on the ground, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"I don't know how this fat guy ended up in the main hall. I think he must have been picked up by someone. Maybe it was this Wang Gou who picked him up by chance!"
Yun Shirou, who had originally stayed out of the matter, was now involved in this serious adultery incident because of a handkerchief.
But her explanation sounded pale and received little response.
The emperor was in a lot of trouble. Today's situation was not as smooth as he had imagined, with one thing leading to another.
...
At the Ye Palace, Ye Chufeng received the news from the Princess's residence.
"What! Yun Mujiu is missing!"
The transmission of information has a delay, and at this time Ye Chufeng only knew the news that Jiang Fei had sent back not long ago.
However, Jiang Fei said that the Night King and others had gone to look for the Night Princess. Since the Night Princess did not appear in the main hall, it proved that she was probably fine.
Ye Chufeng stood up excitedly and wanted to walk out. He did send a few people to ambush in the princess's mansion, but he didn't expect that Yun Mujiu would get into trouble before Jiang Fei saw her.
Cang Feng did not let Ye Chufeng leave, and spread his hands: "Seventh Prince, your eye bandages have not been removed yet, how can you rashly go out?"
"Let me go, I want to get out!"
"Seventh Prince, calm down and wait a moment. Jiang Fei may send back the news soon!"
Cang Feng said earnestly, adding: "Before leaving, didn't Princess Ye have someone tell the Seventh Prince that you can't leave rashly unless there is something wrong. Princess Ye finally performed eye surgery for you, do you want to let her hard work go to waste?"
Ye Chufeng froze, trying to steady himself.
"Then let's wait a little longer. If there is no good news, we will send more people to sneak into the princess's mansion to see what happened."
"I obey your command." Cang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, Seventh Prince. If Princess Ye hadn't made preparations in advance, how could she have gone to the Hongmen Banquet?"
"No matter how smart she is, she is bound to have unexpected moments. She is a human being." Ye Chufeng obviously did not believe Cang Feng's words. He grew up in the palace and of course knew the wickedness of human hearts.
Afterwards, Ye Chufeng could no longer sit still. He kept pacing in the room, waiting to receive more news.
"Plop, plop..." Ye Chufeng's ears moved slightly and he immediately walked to the window.
He couldn't see anything, but he could hear the sound of the pigeon flapping its wings. He reached out and caught the flying pigeon.
"Cang Feng, please read the message above."
"Seventh Prince, Jiang Fei said that he found Princess Ye. She and Master Meng and others are enjoying the scenery in the small garden of the Princess's Mansion. Right now, everyone is in the main hall of the garden, waiting for the emperor to try the case."
"Okay." Ye Chufeng's fingers trembled, "Continue to follow up on the news."
"Also," Ye Chufeng paused, "Now select a few people from there to sneak into the Princess's residence..."
"The Seventh Prince..." Cang Feng was a little hesitant. If he transferred those people, there might be a risk of exposing the Seventh Prince. After all, there were many experts near the Princess's residence, as well as the Emperor and the Night King's secret guards.
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? You’re taking me less and less seriously now, aren’t you?” Ye Chufeng spoke sharply, with a look of anger on his face.
Cang Feng sensed the Seventh Prince's firm mindset and responded in a deep voice.
He walked out of the yard and quietly released a carrier pigeon when his guards were not paying attention.
During these days, Ye Chufeng had been seeking peace with the Ye Palace, and had never thought of doing anything bad to the Ye Palace. The reason why the Ye King asked Ye Chufeng to treat his illness in the palace was mostly because of Yun Mujiu's safety, so he would not take advantage of Ye Chufeng's stay in the palace to monitor and investigate all of Ye Chufeng's details.
It was precisely because Ye Chufeng was recuperating in the palace, and King Ye was not a petty man, he would not take advantage of Ye Chufeng's inconvenience to do anything harmful.
Therefore, the guards of the Ye Mansion did not monitor Ye Chufeng and his servants too much. They only patrolled the outer and inner courtyards of Shumo Courtyard as a routine every day.
At the Princess's residence, Yun Mujiu suggested changing to a larger space, and the Emperor led everyone to the open space in front of the main hall. They were just staying in the outer room of the main hall, where there were many people and the space was a bit narrow, which was not very convenient for hearing the case.
At this time, the emperor who was outside the house relaxed a little and felt that even the air had become a little fresher.
Yun Mujiu did not continue talking about the matter of grabbing Yun Shirou's handkerchief, but changed the topic to how to deal with Wang Gou and others.
Yun Mujiu secretly looked at Princess Gaoyang and Wu Mingwei, feeling a little regretful. She had just administered the drug not long ago, and before Wang Gou could do anything, Prince Consort Cao and others came over from a distance, preventing her from giving these two evil-minded women a good lesson.
The emperor said coldly: "Gao Yang, do you have anything else to say?"
"I...I..." Princess Gaoyang pondered, her eyes brightening, "Brother, I remember now! When Miss Wu and I went into the house to look for someone, there was a maidservant of mine with us. I think that maidservant can definitely testify to our innocence."
"Oh?" The emperor became interested and obviously had not given up on rescuing Princess Gao Yang. "Where is she?"
Princess Gao Yang was also puzzled. "After I was pushed into the bathtub, I didn't see the maid anymore."
Yun Mujiu laughed. "Princess Gaoyang, how can you say you have witnesses when there's not even a shadow of a person?"
Ye Xiaohan followed up on Yun Mujiu's words and added: "It's nothing but a rumor, a struggle before death..."
Even if the emperor wanted to favor Gao Yang and others, he couldn't find any suitable reason!
