Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Changle's words opened my eyes. I understand now."

Facing those ink-deep eyes, the Queen Mother smiled with relief and slowly stood up.

"Come on, let's go find the emperor and ask him to release the two people he has detained so that we can confront them in court."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Jiang Xue bowed her head in thanks.

She and Xiao Zhan supported the empress dowager on either side, and the three of them went to Xuchen Palace together.

Since the Queen Mother came forward, Emperor Bei Ling naturally did not dare to disobey.

A moment later, Ye Zhaoyi and Xiaochun were escorted up to Xuchen Palace.

The clothes of the two men were tattered, and the exposed skin was covered with mottled bloodstains. Xiaochun's ten fingernails were cruelly pulled out, and the bloody fingers were so painful that he trembled all over.

In comparison, Ye Zhaoyi's condition was not much better. Her finger joints were twisted, and it was obvious that the bones were broken by the clamps used by the people from the Inner Court. The wound on her head had split open, and the blood that flowed out coagulated and turned black in the air, staining the already dirty bandage even darker.

"Xiaochun..."

Behind Xiao Zhan, Tieyi was heartbroken when he saw his lover suffering like this.

He wanted to go forward and help her, but in this situation, he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Empress Dowager, we have found the letters of secret communication between Ye Zhaoyi and Marquis Zhenbei in her dressing box. The evidence is irrefutable. I think this matter has been settled. There is no need for you to worry about it."

The Queen waved her hand and had someone hand the dressing box containing the letter to the Queen Mother for inspection. The Queen Mother had seen that box many times and it was indeed Ye Zhaoyi's thing.

"Someone, what do you have to say?"

The Queen Mother spread out the letter, glanced at it, and casually threw it to Jiang Xue.

She looked at Ye Zhaoyi and spoke slowly.

This old guy, the evidence is right in front of him, why is he still asking?

The queen cursed in her heart, but in front of everyone, she had to pretend to be gentle and generous.

Wu Meifeng stood beside her and noticed her hands tightly grasping her sleeves.

"Queen Mother, as the daughter of the Ye family, you are upright and honest, and never do anything sneaky. It is completely nonsense that she had an affair with the Marquis of Zhenbei! I have never seen this letter, and I don't know why it appeared in my dressing box.

This must be someone deliberately framing me, trying to ruin my reputation and implicate the Marquis of Zhenbei! I beg the Queen Mother to understand!"

Ye Zhaoyi endured the pain and kowtowed heavily, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

The concubines around her sighed when they saw her like this.

Ye Rong is usually so arrogant and cold, but seeing her in such a state of disgrace today is really heartbreaking.

"Who found this letter?" The Queen Mother glanced at her seriously, then looked up and asked.

Wu Meifeng gracefully stepped forward, bowed, and politely replied: "My Queen Mother, this letter was found by Princess Qinwen and Princess Gong when they went to Zhaoyi Palace to visit Her Majesty.

At that time, Princess Qinwen was entrusted by the Queen Mother to deliver medicine to Concubine Zhaoyi. When she was putting the medicine in the delivery, she accidentally saw the letter.

The words in the letter were full of warmth, and we originally thought it was written by Concubine Zhaoyi to the Emperor, so we didn’t think much about it. Later, when Princess Qinwen reported to the Empress, the Empress noticed something was wrong.

"That's right. Princess Qinwen kindly thought that Ye Zhaoyi might want to show weakness to the emperor, so she wrote this letter. But when I listened carefully to the content of the letter, it was too ambiguous, so I became suspicious and decided to visit Zhaoyi Palace at night to clarify the matter with Ye Zhaoyi.

Who knew that as soon as he stepped into Zhaoyi Palace, he saw a white dove flying in, with another ambiguous letter tied to the leg of the white dove! Only then did he realize that the previous rumors in the palace were not groundless!

Ye Zhaoyi is indeed a womanizer! Her behavior is unbearable!" The Queen followed Wu Meifeng's words and criticized Ye Zhaoyi!

"You are talking nonsense! What white dove? What another ambiguous letter? There is no such thing in my Zhaoyi Palace!"

Ye Zhaoyi was so angry that she was shaking all over! She was recuperating in Zhaoyi Palace, behaved herself properly, and had never done anything shameful! She had never even touched the edge of what the queen said!

"Empress Zhaoyi, please don't be stubborn anymore. The white dove and the letter are all here. You can't deny them even if you want to." Wu Meifeng put on a compassionate look and pretended to be a good person to persuade Ye Zhaoyi.

As they were talking, someone presented a dead pigeon covered in blood and the so-called ambiguous letter.

When these physical evidences were displayed, the look in Emperor Bei Ling's eyes was enough to kill!

Seeing the evidence piling up higher and higher, his eyes almost seemed to tear Ye Zhaoyi into pieces!

This woman! I originally thought she was noble and cold, but I didn't expect that she was actually a frivolous person who cheated on her husband!

"Ye Rong! If the Queen Mother hadn't insisted on giving you a chance to defend yourself, I wouldn't have let you embarrass yourself in Xuchen Palace! Now that the evidence is irrefutable, what room do you have for quibbling?"

"Your Majesty! I really didn't do it! No matter how much false evidence there is, I will never admit to a crime I didn't commit!"

"I think you'll never give up until you cross the Yellow River! It seems that the inner court is still soft on you! Come! Drag this bitch away! Tell the inner court that there's no need to be polite! Also! Send a message to the Zhenbei Marquis, asking him to hand over the military power immediately! Commit suicide to apologize!"

As soon as Emperor Bei Ling gave an order, the scene suddenly became boiling!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Xue hurried forward: "Your Majesty! Changle has something to say!"

"What else is there to say! This bitch had an affair with a minister and brought shame to me and the royal family! I trusted Lu Changfeng so much, but he repaid my trust with such despicable means! It really makes me feel disappointed!

Changle, I know that Lu Changfeng is your uncle, and it is natural for you to want to protect him. But don’t forget your identity! When you marry Yun Che, you are a member of our Beiling Royal Family! In everything, you must put the interests of the Beiling Royal Family first! Don’t make the mistake of prioritizing! "

Emperor Bei Ling did not give Jiang Xue any chance to speak. He just wanted to take this opportunity to immediately eliminate Lu Changfeng, the thorn in his side!

But how could Jiang Xue tolerate him arbitrarily accusing her uncle of a crime that he did not accuse her of? She exchanged glances with the Queen Mother, and she understood what he meant.

"Your Majesty, I have asked someone to confront me in court today in order to hear the opinions of all parties. Since Changle has something to say, I will naturally listen."

The Queen Mother waved her hand to stop the attendant who was about to go forward and drag Ye Zhaoyi away.

"Changle, you speak, I am listening."

With the support of the Queen Mother, Emperor Bei Ling could only listen helplessly.

The Queen and Wu Meifeng wanted to stop it, but they were helpless.

"Empress, you said you found the pigeon and letter in Zhaoyi Palace?"

She wrapped her hands with a silk handkerchief and picked up the dead pigeon to observe. The pigeon was killed by an arrow through the abdomen, and there was some fine powder on its feet.

"That's right. Last night, Qinwen and I went to Zhaoyi Palace to question it, and we saw the pigeon fly into Zhaoyi Palace with our own eyes!" the Queen said firmly.

"That's strange. The powder on the pigeon's feet is not found in Zhaoyi Palace."

When the pigeon's ankles were turned over, everyone's eyes lit up and they saw glittering golden powder sprinkled on them.
