The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 133 Bai Muling's stepping stone

Sheng Yukun suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please understand! Yun Qing has no chance!"

"Enough!" Ye Jinfeng interrupted, "Sheng Yunqing is temporarily detained in the imperial prison, and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is confined to reflect on his mistakes!"

Sheng Yunqing was stunned for a moment, then took a step back in a daze.

There was a sudden commotion outside the palace: "Your Highness Prince Ye, you can't go in!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Jinchen had already pushed aside the guards and eunuchs who were trying to stop him, and he was wearing a dark black python robe that looked like a dark cloud.

He walked in front of Ye Jinfeng, clenched his fists with a gloomy expression, glanced at Sheng Yunqing, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

He did not kneel down, but bowed his head slightly and said, "Please allow me to preside over this case, brother."

Hearing that Ye Jinchen was seriously injured during the Lantern Festival, Ye Jinfeng looked up at him. His lips were still a little pale. His injury had not yet healed, so he couldn't wait to stand up for Sheng Yunqing?

He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, sneered, and said, "Seventh brother is well-informed. My decree has not yet left the palace."

Ye Jinchen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on Duke Bai, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said: "It is better to say that the news outside is well-informed. The matter has not yet been concluded. Now the capital has been abuzz with rumors that Miss Sheng used the hands of the capital scholar to do something shameful."

Duke Bai followed his gaze and walked over, his expression sneering sinisterly: "The clear ones are clear, and the turbid ones are turbid. I guess the rumors outside are not groundless. The people are in favor of us, so who can stop them from talking?"

Ye Jinchen snorted coldly and said, "I just don't know who spread the rumor like this and ruined the reputation of the girl without knowing the truth. The Sheng family is full of loyal and brave people, how could they engage in arms smuggling? This is not even taking the descendants of loyal and brave people seriously. If I catch him, I will definitely tear his tongue out!"

In a flash, Ye Jinfeng gently turned the Hetian jade ring on his hand and said, "Since my seventh brother is so anxious, I will give you three days. If Sheng Yunqing has solid evidence..."

His eyes swept over the pale and cold Sheng Yunqing, and said: "Sheng Yunqing, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship. Even if your father were still alive, he couldn't protect you."

"Your Majesty!" Sheng Yukun gritted his teeth anxiously.

What he wanted to say was interrupted by Ye Jinfeng, who said in a gloomy voice: "My dear Sheng, I only suspect Sheng Yunqing now. If you instigated this matter and implicated the Sheng family, then you will be executed along with your entire family!"

Sheng Yunqing glanced at Ye Jinchen with a gentle look, and then lowered his head and said to Ye Jinfeng: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter has nothing to do with the Zhenbei Marquisate. Yunqing believes that Prince Ye will give Yunqing justice."

Looking at the two people smiling at each other, Bai Muling's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. Can you still laugh? King Ye, even if you turn the capital upside down, Sheng Yunqing can't escape this time.

Sheng Yunqing glanced at the smile on Duke Bai's face, and a hint of incomprehensible darkness flashed across his eyes.

The Bai family has tried to kill her several times in a row. Could it be... that they are my father's enemy?

As we walked out of the hall, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

"The War King is on the rise, why wade into this muddy water?" Duke Bai's sneer came from behind. Ye Jinchen's stern face showed suppressed anger. He turned around, looked at his old but sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Whoever wants to harm Yun Qing, this king will make him pay a painful price."

Prince's Mansion, Chaohui Palace.

"Your Highness, there are rumors outside about Scholar Liu, saying that he is involved in the arms smuggling case in recent years." Yan Chuan reported to Ye Jingnian.

The memorials were piled up on the desk. Ye Jingnian sat on the chair, raised his head and sighed, closed his eyes and said, "Why would Bai Muling take the initiative to expose Liu Chuan?"

That Liuchuan was just a poor scholar with a clean background, he knew it very well, what was that woman doing?
"Maybe... he was afraid of being exposed, so he took the initiative.

Ye Jingnian raised his hand and rubbed his brows, and said, "Where is Ruyu? Recently she said that Bai Muling is well behaved and obedient. When the Liuchuan incident was reported, she didn't even bring it to me. Do you want me to make the decision?"

Yan Chuan frowned with some complex feelings and said, "That Ruyu... has been bought by the Bai family."

"What?" Ye Jingnian opened his eyes, stared at him, and said, "Explain it clearly."

"Recently, the Duke's Mansion seems to be planning something. Since today, someone has been spreading rumors outside, saying that Scholar Liu and Miss Sheng were good friends and had a lot in mind, and that they had been conspiring to smuggle arms three years ago. After Miss Sheng returned to the capital, she was afraid that the secret would be exposed, so she killed Scholar Liu a year ago to silence him."

Ye Jingnian snorted coldly and said unhappily: "The person I found to testify against Bai Muling can also become a stepping stone for Bai Muling? She is so capable!"

Yan Chuan lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, please don't be so angry. I just heard that Prince Ye is about to investigate the matter himself. I believe that the Duke must have come prepared. Prince Ye is willing to wade into this muddy water, which may not be a bad thing for Your Highness."

Hearing this, Ye Jingnian considered it for a moment, rolled his eyes, took a deep breath, and his deep eyes softened a little. He said, "Well, the overall situation is more important. This matter is a bargain for that bitch."

Deep in the sky prison, it was so cold and gloomy that there was no sunlight. In front of the prison door, the light from the torches shone on Ye Jinchen's stern face.

He raised his hand and made a gesture. Pei Xuan behind him handed a cloth bag to the warden in front of him. The warden took it respectfully with both hands, opened the bag with a smile, and inside were pieces of gold leaves.

"Be nice to Miss Sheng. Don't treat her harshly. She should have clothes, a bathtub, hot water, a dressing table, and a mirror. Miss Sheng is only detained temporarily. If I hear her complain after she is released, I will chop off your head myself."

"Yes, yes, yes! Miss Sheng is the Bodhisattva. I will definitely take good care of her and there won't be any mistakes!"

The next morning, Su Lan's crying was heard in front of the palace gate.

She looked at Ye Jinchen anxiously, her face full of tears as she said, "Your Highness, Lu Changxuan, Fairy Sister and I have lived in the Taoist temple since we were young. Fairy Sister has been devoted to practicing the mysterious arts and has never met any strange people. She has been wronged so bitterly, you must prove her innocence..."

"Yes, my junior sister is in jail, and I... ahem... I am no different from a useless person now, and I can't help at all!" Lu Changxuan gritted his teeth in hatred, clenched his fists and hammered hard on the palace wall.

Ye Jinchen frowned and said, "I will risk everything to rescue Qing'er."

At the entrance of the prison, a man in a black cloak took out a silver ingot and placed it in the jailer's hand. He said in a low voice: "Visit the prison."
