254 Interrogation(1/2)
Chengying, Chunjun, and Taoyao all stepped aside when they saw Ye Yichen coming out.
Qi didn't know where she got the courage. She saw Ye Yichen striding over, tall and straight, with cold eyes and a stern expression, vaguely showing the arrogance of looking at the world.
Qi bowed and saluted, "My maid and concubine, please see the prince!" Finally seeing Ye Yichen, her body was trembling slightly.
Ye Yichen gave her a cold look: "Didn't I already tell Tao Yao to go back first? Why are you still here and making a lot of noise? You used to be an honest person, why have you become like this now?
Don’t you understand the rules?”
"Your Majesty!" Qi Shi immediately knelt on the ground. The cold floor tiles sent a slight chill through her knees. Qi Shi's body was also trembling faintly, which caused a slight tremor in her voice: "It's been many days.
No, I really...really missed the prince and the young master. I got carried away for a moment, so I bumped into the prince and asked him to atone for my sins!"
Ye Yichen was already in a bad mood, and being made trouble by Qi Shi made it even worse. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Since you want to see me so much, and now you have met, you can go back now. Princess and
The eldest young masters are all resting inside. They just rested, so don’t wake them up!"
Did you really ask the princess to sleep in this place?
Qi's heart skipped a beat. She felt a wave of despair coming over her. She remembered that when Princess Bai was married, Ye Yichen would be unhappy even if she had to enter the study room once. This place was the most important place in the entire palace.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it holds all the secrets of the prince.
That woman has actually gained such great trust from the prince?
Ye Yichen's words were cold and hard, causing pain when they hit the person's body. Qi felt a chill in her heart when she heard it, knowing that this time it was self-defeating and made the prince displeased.
"Your Majesty..." Qi Shi felt so sad that she couldn't help but burst into tears. "My concubine has the audacity to ask to see Your Majesty. It's really... an act of fear and helplessness!"
Ye Yichen thought of the two patients inside, both of whom were so worried. He felt agitated, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone: "If anything happens, tell me quickly!"
Qi Shi's body trembled: "A few days ago, I was confused and did something like that... These days, I have been ordered by the prince to stay at home in the small Buddhist hall, reciting Buddhist scriptures day and night, cultivating one's moral character.
, pray for the prince, princess and young master. Think carefully.
, My concubine was very wrong that day!" She glanced at Ye Yichen secretly: "Your Majesty, I knew that I was wrong, and I received the punishment that I deserved. Please consider that I am currently serving the late Princess and the Great Lord.
For the sake of your sincerity, the young master, please spare me this time!"
After saying that, he kowtowed his head!
He couldn't stay in the small Buddhist hall any longer. Ye Yichen felt clear-headed. Ye Yichen was a person with a clear distinction between grudges and grievances. Qi had taken care of Ye Minwen for many years and had made great achievements. Those who deserve merit should be rewarded, and those who made mistakes should be punished. This is his principle.
He didn't want to lock Qi in a small Buddhist hall for the rest of her life. He would naturally release her when the time came.
It's just that at this time, the palace is in chaos, and Qi is full of hostility towards Yulan. If she is released, there is no guarantee that she will not do something. Yulan is in such a situation now, and she can't take care of anything.
.
Ye Yichen quickly assessed the situation and said in a calm tone: "Go back and pray for the late princess and the young master with peace of mind. When you figure it out, I will let you out."
Qi's face changed after hearing this. This time Ye Yichen refused to agree. When will the next time he wants to see Ye Yichen? Ye Yichen is now as good as the princess, and the princess often says a few words of her own in his ear.
If you say bad words, you will have to stay in that small Buddhist hall for the rest of your life.
Thinking of such a tragic future, Qi couldn't help but shudder, and felt that the bluestone tiles on the ground were getting colder.
Not allowing her to think too much, Ye Yichen already said: "No need to say more, you can go back first!"
There was a "buzzing" sound in Qi's head. There was a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart. She didn't believe that Ye Yichen would treat her so ruthlessly. She would not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. Even if Ye Yichen looked down on her, she would always be Princess Bai's.
The person she trusted the most was always the representative of the Bai family in the palace. She did not believe that Ye Yichen would imprison her for the rest of her life.
That vicious woman must have said something in front of Ye Yichen. That's why Ye Yichen lost his head! It must be like this!
She walked forward with two steps on her knees and hugged Ye Yichen's legs. She cried regardless, "Your Majesty, I heard that someone is plotting against the eldest young master! Your lord...the eldest young master is your only son, and he is your only son."
The last bit of blood left by the late princess, I beg you, for the sake of the late princess and the Bai family, please leave the eldest young master to your maid to take care of him."
She spoke faster and faster, like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw: "Although I am from the countryside and have little knowledge, I will never be like that person who has a black heart. She is gentle and gentle on the surface.
, secretly wanted our eldest son’s life, she was just paving the way for her son! My lord, you can’t be fooled by her hypocrisy!”
She hugged Ye Yichen's legs tightly and begged: "Your Majesty, I know that the princess cannot tolerate my concubine, but I have always been loyal only for the prince and the eldest young master! Please forgive me for the past."
For the sake of my love and loyalty, please spare me!"
There was total silence in the yard. The first feeling everyone had was: this woman is crazy.
Is it okay to talk like this casually?
Ye Yichen lowered his head and looked at this woman condescendingly, remembering how at a loss when she first entered the palace with Princess Bai and how she acted honestly. Later, in order to hand over his son to her with confidence, he let her become his
A beautiful woman, with her happy yet shy smile and such humble words.
Ye Yichen never thought that one day this woman would become like this.
What she said just now is that she has repented and changed her past mistakes. Is this how she repented and changed her past mistakes?
His voice had become very stern: "Who did you listen to for such bastard words?" His majestic gaze swept across, and Xiuzhu suddenly couldn't stand anymore and knelt on the ground with a plop. She couldn't control her fear.
The thoughts came to her heart, and she knew that she was finished!
Qi Shi was completely crazy: "My lord, for so many years, I have served the prince and the eldest young master, and I have always been very stubborn. Although I am a lowly person, my heart is so devoted to the prince and the eldest young master."
You are sincere, but no one can compare with you."
"...For so many years, I have served you and the eldest young master with loyalty and hard work without any merit. Moreover, I am also the goddaughter of Mrs. Bai. The princess prides herself on being generous and generous. How could she even make such a small mistake?
Can’t you tolerate maids and concubines?”
There was a cold, snake-like look in her eyes, which made Ye Yichen horrified. What on earth made this honest and honest Qi become so scary?
Is jealousy really so powerful?
Ye Yichen said to her with compassion: "You offended the princess once, and it was the king who confined you to the small Buddhist hall. The princess has never lacked your food and clothing. Only by punishing the slaves who dare to neglect you more can you be allowed to live in the small Buddhist hall."
Live there quietly. If you treat her like that, she won't care about anything, and no one else can say anything. Complaining like this is not considered generous?"
"On the other hand, you are the one who is making excuses and slandering the princess. Is this your loyalty? Do you know that the king and the princess are one and the same. When the princess is slandered, the king is slandered, and the princess is humiliated.
This king has been humiliated!"
Thinking of her cold, snake-like smile, Ye Yichen had already made up his mind. He could no longer keep her in the palace. Yulan was now weak. Although Qi was confined to the small Buddhist hall, she was still a disaster.
If she suddenly gets angry... Although this possibility is very small, Ye Yichen cannot risk Yulan or the child in her belly.
Thinking of this, he made up his mind. He said calmly: "From now on, you don't have to stay in the small Buddhist hall..."
Qi was overjoyed after hearing this part of the sentence, thinking that Ye Yichen had softened his heart and was willing to let himself out. He was about to say: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!" Ye Yichen had already continued: "You can go back and pay respects, and we will call you tomorrow morning.
Manager Ma will arrange carriages and horses to send you to the Xishan Villa to recuperate. Take this time to think about what you did wrong? If you still can't figure it out, then never come back!"
After saying that, he pointed at Cheng Ying and said, "Go and tell Manager Ma about this now." Cheng Ying agreed and left in a hurry.
He then pointed at the embroidered beads and said, "Tie up this cheap maid who spreads bad words about the master and throw her into the woodshed. She will be punished tomorrow."
Under the embroidered beads, I cried loudly: "Concubine, please help..." Before I could say a word, Chunjun had already covered my mouth.
Qi Shi couldn't care about her at all, and now only Ye Yichen's words kept rolling in her head: "If you still can't figure it out, then never come back!"
Qi Shi understands the meaning of this sentence very well. If she continues to be ignorant, she will be completely expelled from the palace.
She collapsed to the ground as if she had no bones in her body, and suddenly she went crazy and grabbed the hem of Ye Yichen's clothes: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong! I don't dare to offend the Princess anymore, please don't do it.
Drive the maids and concubines out of the palace, the prince is merciful!"
Ye Yichen's expression was stern, and the expression on his face did not waver in the slightest. "It's too late to realize your mistake now." He waved his hand, and two rough women appeared out of nowhere, carrying Qi Shi out of the house one on the left and the other on the right.
In the courtyard of the study, if Qi Shi wanted to bark again, a woman had already stuffed a handkerchief in her mouth.
Peace finally returned to the courtyard outside the study.
Taoyao knew that from now on, there would probably be no one like Qi Shi in the palace!
Ye Yichen turned around and went back to the inner room. There was a lot of noise outside, but Yulan and Ye Minwen were still sleeping soundly. He saw Ye Minwen leaning on Yulan's arms, and his frown had loosened.
When I opened it, my little face looked a little quiet and peaceful.
Ye Yichen's stern face softened. He felt more and more that it was right to deal with Qi in this way. The only thing to worry about was the Bai family's attitude towards this matter...
Yulan slept very deeply, and did not wake up until the sky was bright. As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked at Ye Minwen next to him. He was still asleep, and the frown he had frowned last night had relaxed.
Ye Minwen slept very peacefully that night, but did not touch Yulan at all. Yulan touched his belly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoyu came in to help her sit up, and Yulan asked in a low voice: "Where is the prince?"
Xiaoyu said: "Your Majesty went out early in the morning with Manager Ma and Cheng Ying Hanguang! Seeing that you slept soundly, you didn't ask us to wake you up. You were asked to have breakfast by yourself."
Xiaoyu carefully helped her get out of bed and went to the clean room to wash up. Seeing Xiaoyu hesitate to speak along the way, Yulan asked with a smile: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Xiaoyu whispered: "Concubine Qi was sent to the Xishan Courtyard by Manager Ma early this morning, and she set off right away. I heard that because she was leaving in such a hurry, she didn't even bring a few boxes with her! Concubine Qi
She cried and made a fuss so much that she wanted to see the prince and the princess, and then two rough ladies forced her into a carriage..."
The excuse for sending Qi to Zhuangzi this time was that she had contagious malaria, and they were afraid that she would spread the disease to Yu Lan, who was pregnant, and Ye Minwen, who was still a child.
Now that Yulan was having a smooth sailing in the palace, these things had already reached Xiaoyu's ears in a flattering and flattering way.
Yu Lan was startled: "What on earth is going on?"
Before speaking, he said: "Concubine Qi made a lot of disrespectful remarks to you last night. Princess, please don't be angry after hearing this."
Yulan laughed and scolded: "She has been sent to Zhuangzi. What else should I be angry about!"
To be continued...
