Chapter 158 Who Does It Have to Do With It?
When Ye Qingzhu felt Jiang Wenjin's gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
She didn't know why, but she felt that Jiang Wenjin was different from before.
"Qingzhu, come here and apologize to Wenjin!"
Just as Ye Qingzhu was wondering, Ye Xuan's voice came.
Ye Qingzhu was stunned, never expecting that the person who said these words was not Su Shi but Ye Xuan.
"Qingzhu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go."
Now Su realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly urged Ye Qingzhu to hurry up.
Ye Qingzhu could only reluctantly step forward, "Father, I'm not wrong about this. It was Jiang Wenjin who wronged me first..."
shoot!
Before Ye Qingzhu could finish speaking, Ye Xuan slapped her across the face.
"I always thought Qingwu was the most immature one, but now it seems you're even worse!"
"Wen Jin has already explained the matter of that cousin to me, but look at what you have done. Do you know that the Emperor is most afraid of witchcraft?"
"But you just..."
Just as Ye Xuan was about to speak, he heard the steward's report from outside.
"My lord, something terrible has happened! People from the palace have arrived."
Ye Xuan's expression changed, and just as he was speaking, several guards walked in.
"Your Excellency, we are here on His Majesty's orders to bring Ye Qingzhu to the Imperial Study for questioning."
"No, I won't go." Only then did Ye Qingzhu feel scared, and she pleaded with Ye Xuan and Madam Su for help, "Father, Mother, I won't go to that Imperial Study."
Although Ye Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Qingzhu's behavior, he also knew that for the emperor to send someone here alone, something more serious must have happened.
Moreover, he had just come out of the palace, so why would the emperor suddenly bring Qingzhu into the palace?
"Do you know what happened? Why did you bring my daughter to the palace out of the blue?"
Ye Xuan asked the guards.
"Your Excellency, we are also acting under imperial orders."
The head guard remained expressionless when questioned by Ye Xuan.
They could only let these people take Ye Qingzhu away.
"Master, you must save Qingzhu. How can you bear this alone?"
Su pleaded with Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan was already very irritable, and when he heard Su crying and pleading, he simply shook her off.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Yuanfeng walked over, but was stopped by the guards just as he was about to enter the main hall.
"Second Young Master, the Master is currently in a bad mood. In my opinion, it would be best if you didn't go there for the time being."
"Then tell me why my second sister was taken away by the guards."
At this moment, Ye Yuanfeng also realized that something was wrong and asked the guard.
"This younger one doesn't know either."
Ye Yuanfeng frowned, suddenly remembering Ye Qingwu who had appeared in the courtyard.
All of this must be related to Ye Qingwu. She has a long-standing grudge against her second sister and also knows some low-level witchcraft.
No, he absolutely had to get an explanation for this.
Inside the Regent's Palace.
Ye Qingwu was in the space, and she could feel that the power from the bead itself had increased considerably the moment the black mist disappeared.
For some reason, she always felt a sense of crisis towards that imperial advisor.
In particular, his figure was extremely similar to the man in black robes she had seen on the rosary.
When they were in Jiang Wenjin's courtyard, the black mist posed no threat whatsoever. Since the Imperial Advisor had a way to subdue it, she didn't believe that this person couldn't see that.
This can only mean one thing: the imperial advisor did it on purpose.
Most importantly, this person appeared at the perfect time; the force he used seemed to be in a hurry to eliminate something.
This alone makes it particularly suspicious.
However, one thing is certain: the poison in Zhan Sijing's body no longer poses any threat.
"princess."
As Ye Qingwu pondered these matters, she heard the sound of a cold wind outside.
Cold wind?
Ye Qingwu was taken aback. Could it be that something had happened to Zhan Sijing again?
With this worry in mind, Ye Qingwu left the space and saw Leng Feng standing outside the courtyard as she stepped out of the house.
"What happened?" Ye Qingwu asked Leng Feng.
"Your Highness, a message has just arrived from the palace requesting that you come to the palace immediately."
"Enter the palace?"
Ye Qingwu had anticipated this matter. The appearance of the Imperial Advisor suggested that the Emperor had some doubts about the evil aura.
She gave a soft reply, then suddenly thought of Zhan Sijing and asked Leng Feng again, "Where is the Prince now?"
"Just an hour ago, the prince also went to the palace."
Ye Qingwu was taken aback.
Suddenly, she wondered what had happened in the palace that led to Zhan Sijing being summoned again after he entered the palace.
Although Ye Qingwu had doubts, she did not hesitate for long and rode in the carriage toward the palace.
in the palace.
Royal study room.
"Your Majesty, Ye Qingzhu has been brought here."
When Ye Qingzhu was brought to the Imperial Study, she felt the gazes of those around her.
"Ye Qingzhu, where did you get your witchcraft from? Tell me the truth now."
The emperor's voice startled Ye Qingzhu.
"Your Majesty, I know nothing. I am unaware of that witchcraft." Ye Qingzhu knew that even if she told the whole truth about the origin of the black mist, these people would not only not believe her, but would also treat her as a madman to some extent.
By then, even if she wanted to explain, it would be too late.
Rather than trying to explain these strange phenomena, it's better to pretend you know nothing about it.
"Ye Qingzhu, you don't need to be afraid. The Emperor just wants to know about the black mist."
"If I am not mistaken, the appearance of this black mist is very likely related to His Highness the Regent's curse. I hope you can tell me what you know so that we can find the source."
"The source..." Ye Qingzhu lowered her head, unsure whether to believe this person's words.
By the way, that black mist originated from the Regent's Palace.
However, since the regent was also present, Ye Qingzhu dared not utter these words.
"Your Majesty, it's Ye Qingwu! The matter of the Black Mist is all related to her!"
Ye Qingzhu quickly spoke in the direction of the emperor, and in a sense, what she said was not wrong.
When the black mist appeared, many people saw that it was Ye Qingwu who subdued it. During this time, who can prove that Ye Qingzhu didn't orchestrate the whole thing?
"Ye Qingzhu".
Before the emperor could reply, Zhan Sijing's icy voice carried a strong warning.
"Who did you just say was involved?"
Ye Qingzhu froze, not daring to look at Zhan Sijing, her unease intensifying at that moment.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten about the black mist while you were unconscious?"
"It was my older sister back then..."
