Chapter 72: Chapter 65: Turning Danger into Safety, Crazy Face-Slapping! (7000 words)_5

Yu Qingyuan clenched her teeth.

At this very moment, if she were to persist in her own views, if she were to continue protecting Nanny Liu, it would be tantamount to slapping her own face.

She bore it in silence and said nothing.

There was nothing to say.

Xiao Zhanping looked indifferent at this moment, but inside, he was full of admiration for Ye Qichi.

He had thought that rescuing Ye Qichi this time would require a great deal of talking, yet he had not expected Ye Qichi to be so clever as to render the always argumentative Empress speechless!

Ye Qici truly brought him surprise after surprise.

The daughter-in-law he had once looked down upon was now someone he regarded with respect.

"Does the Empress have anything else to say?!" Xiao Zhanping deliberately asked Yu Qingyuan again.

"This consort admits to the lack of management over the servants, it is my fault, I beseech His Majesty to punish me." Yu Qingyuan also knew when to be prudent and sensible.

She immediately softened and admitted her mistake.

"Father Emperor." Before Xiao Zhanping could speak, Ye Qichi said, "Everything the Crown Princess has stated just now is only deduced and has not yet been confirmed. I also do not wish for Her Majesty the Empress to harbor any grudges afterward; therefore, I humbly request that both Father Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress confront Prince Chen again in person, to see if what I’ve said is true."

Yu Qingyuan’s expression was extremely unsightly.

Did Ye Qichi think she wasn’t embarrassed enough, that she wanted to humiliate her even further?!

At that moment.

Xiao Zhanping agreed without hesitation, "Very well! Since Ye Qichi you are so confident, I will fulfill your wish, and let the Empress see clearly the person by her side, to reflect well!"

"This consort obeys the decree." Yu Qingyuan had no choice but to agree.

"Can Princess of Prince Chen persevere?!" Xiao Zhanping looked at Ye Qichi’s bloody body and asked.

He also took into consideration that the journey from Prince Chen’s Mansion to the Imperial Palace was far.

"Thank you for Father Emperor’s concern, this consort is not qualified to leave this place before my name has been cleared."

"Good! I admire your courage!" Xiao Zhanping praised.

Ye Qichi humbly replied, "It is my duty as a consort."

Xiao Zhanping nodded, speaking authoritatively, "Bring my Dragon Throne over here!"

Clearly, he intended to wait with Ye Qichi here for Xiao Jinxing.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Qingyuan’s expression became even more unsightly.

From this disaster, Ye Qichi not only escaped punishment but also managed to further increase the Emperor’s favorable impression of her.

Not only did she not achieve her wishes, but she also lost her assets and soldiers as well.

No matter how angry she was with Nanny Wu today, the execution of Nanny Wu was like cutting off her left and right hand.

To groom another Nanny Wu was easier said than done!

Yu Qingyuan grew angrier the more she thought about it.

And it wasn’t just Yu Qingyuan but Gao Jingyi as well.

Gao Jingyi hadn’t dared to interject from the beginning to the end, fearing that she might bring trouble upon herself, but she never expected that Ye Qichi would turn disaster into safety, and even gain the Emperor’s recognition once again! In the many years she had been married to the Crown Prince, the Emperor had never looked at her directly.

She had thought that only Bai Mowan could pose a threat to her, but at this moment, Ye Qichi was someone she was so jealous of that she wanted to kill her!

Inside the Confinement Room.

Without Xiao Zhanping speaking, no one dared to make a sound.

It was so quiet that it was almost suffocating.

Suddenly, there was an announcement from the entrance, "Prince Chen has arrived."

Ye Qichi’s eyes flickered slightly.

Truthfully.

She really did not want to see Xiao Jinxing right now.

The thought of Xiao Jinxing’s hesitation-free, cold-blooded betrayal of her...

Forget it.

After all, our cooperation was bound to end sooner or later.

She watched indifferently as Xiao Jinxing was wheeled into the Confinement Room.

He was dressed in palace robes, resplendent and noble.

His clean, handsome face showed no difference from the usual, and it even seemed more radiant against the backdrop of his luxurious attire.

In stark contrast was her own appearance, bloodied and with tattered clothes, her face pale and horrific from the bloodstains.

Indeed!

Xiao Jinxing was eating well and sleeping well. Had the emperor not summoned him, he would likely be waiting to collect her corpse.

At this moment, not a hint of anomaly showed on Xiao Jinxing’s expression as he entered the Confinement Room.

However, Lu You by his side, upon seeing her, had tears well up in her eyes, falling in large drops as she dared not come forward due to her lowly status, nor could she cry out, suffering in silence as she tried to endure.

Ye Qichi withdrew her gaze.

One reason was that the sight of Xiao Jinxing was really irritating.

The second was that seeing Lu You cry so hard, her heart ached a little as well.

In fact, the injuries on her body no longer hurt; those moments of living were worse than death had long passed, and she had already recovered a great deal. It was only the remaining bloodstains that made her look fierce.

"This son pays respect to father emperor, and to the Empress Mother," Xiao Jinxing said, his voice calm and steady.

He stood up to bow.

"Xing’er’s legs are not convenient; you are excused from the courtesy," Xiao Zhanping said directly.

"Thank you, father emperor, thank you Empress Mother," he replied.

Xiao Jinxing sat in the wheelchair.

"Today, We have summoned you to the palace mainly because of Nanny Liu’s matter," Xiao Zhanping said straightforwardly, "You should be aware of it."

"This son is aware," he acknowledged.

"What exactly did Nanny Liu die for?!" Xiao Zhanping asked.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered slightly.

Finally, he turned his gaze towards Ye Qichi.

When he first came in, he merely glanced in her direction as a sign of respect for the emperor and the Empress, without looking at Ye Qichi specifically.

Now, seeing her lying on a long wooden bench, covered with blood, there was a slight shock in his chest, but he disregarded it immediately.

Ye Qichi felt Xiao Jinxing’s gaze at that moment.

She did not wish to engage.

But considering that she still needed Xiao Jinxing to testify for her at this moment, she had to face him.

Their eyes met.

Ye Qichi wondered if he might seize the opportunity to kill her.

Xiao Jinxing wondered if Ye Qichi would turn against him after being saved.

Both harbored their own thoughts.

Xiao Jinxing looked away.

Ye Qichi, seeing Xiao Jinxing’s demeanor, really didn’t know what he was thinking at the moment.

She felt that she had already guessed that the Empress intended to kill her, and Xiao Jinxing could probably guess as well.

Thinking that he still hadn’t thought to come to her rescue... she truly did not dare to place too much hope in Xiao Jinxing.

There was inevitably some nervousness in her heart.

At that moment, she heard Xiao Jinxing say, "Replying to father emperor, Nanny Liu died by her own hand."
