The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Hua Fuying sneered at him and said sarcastically, "I just pretended to need your protection to satisfy your desire to be relied on and worshipped. Do you really think you like me? If you really like me, why would you let me be your concubine?"

"Hua Wu Ke is right, Wu Ze, you are nothing but a hypocrite."

When Wu Ze heard Hua Fuying's words, his face turned red and white, and then he said angrily:

"That's enough. You're just a spy. I'm wasting my sincerity towards you."

The concubine's daughter was found to be a spy, and she herself was ordered not to leave the Hua Mansion. She wanted to send a message to Ye Chuji to ask him to find a way to save her, but she couldn't do it. Hua Jingqian was anxious all day long in the Hua Mansion.

On this day, Hua Jingqian was sitting in the study again, touching the handle of the chair on his right hand side from time to time, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Wanniang still remembered the promise Hua Wu Ke made to her. Seeing that Hua Jingqian had entered the study and had not come out for a long time, she went into the kitchen, brought a bowl of calming soup and walked in.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Hua Jingqian, who was already tense all the time, shuddered subconsciously, "Who?"

"Master, it's me."

"Wan Niang? Come in."

Wanniang pushed the door open and placed the soothing soup in front of Hua Jingqian.

"Master, don't worry. You should take care of yourself."

Since the Hua Mansion was surrounded by soldiers, Wanniang has become more gentle and considerate, which makes Hua Jingqian feel somewhat satisfied. He took her hand and said:

"You have worked hard."

Wan Niang calmly withdrew her hand, pushed the tranquilizing soup in front of him, and urged:

"Drink it while it's hot."

"it is good."

Hua Jingqian picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. However, he felt sleepy after a while. He rubbed his forehead and said, "It's still Stepmother's soup that works. I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time."

Wanniang smiled and called Xiao Si outside the door in, "Master is tired, help him back to the house to rest."

After Hua Jingqian left, Wanniang closed the study door again and walked straight to the chair where Hua Jingqian had just sat.

She had been observing carefully over the past few days and had already discovered that Hua Jingqian cared a lot about this chair.

Just now, she pushed the bowl over, and Hua Jingqian, who was obviously right-handed, held the bowl with his left hand, while his right hand was placed on the armrest of the chair.

Wanniang bent down and studied the armrest for a long time, shaking it again and again, but there was no sign of it loosening.

Just then, a servant passing by outside the house seemed to hear some noise in the study.

"Who? Who's in there?"

Wanniang was so frightened that she held her breath, not daring to let people outside discover that she was inside.

Fortunately, without Hua Jingqian's order, the servants would never dare to enter his study.

After waiting for a while, the servant saw that no one responded in the room, and muttered, "Did I hear it wrong?" and then left.

After hearing the people outside walk away, Wanniang started to fiddle with the armrest again, and finally she discovered that the cylinder on the armrest could be pulled out.

He pulled out the ball, and found several sheets of letter paper inside.

Wanniang took it out and glanced at it roughly. When she saw the words "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" on it, she guessed that this was what Hua Wuke wanted.

After carefully putting the things away, Stepmother listened carefully to the noise outside. After making sure that there was no one around, she opened the door and left the study.

She held the evidence of Hua Jingqian's crime in her hand and just wanted to hand it to Hua Wuke as soon as possible.

At the side door, the soldiers who were ordered to guard the Hua Mansion saw Wanniang walk out of the side door, and immediately drew their swords and shouted, "Go back!"

Wanniang approached the officer carefully and said in a low voice, "I have something to give to Princess An."

Hua Wu Ke naturally greeted all these officers and soldiers, and asked them to report immediately if Wanniang was looking for her.

The officer recruited a trustworthy soldier and asked him to report the matter to Prince An's Mansion, and then said to Wanniang, "Just wait here for a while."

Naturally, Wanniang didn't dare to go back with this thing, so she could only wait anxiously there.

Fortunately, the soldier came back quickly on a fast horse, and Qingzhu came with him.

When Hua Wu Ke saw Wan Jing coming to see him that day, Qing Zhu was also there, and Wan Niang recognized her.

After handing the things to Qingzhu, Wanniang immediately returned to the house.

Qingzhu brought the letter to Hua Wuke. She took it and looked at it together with Ye Buhuo, confirming that this was the secret letter that Ye Chuji had written in order to let Hua Jingqian steal the defense map.

"That's all!"

Hua Wu Ke said with some excitement.

Ye Buhuo rubbed the corners of Hua Wuke's mouth and said, "I will go to the palace to see the emperor."

In the Yangxin Palace, Ye Lanfeng was sitting on the throne and venting his anger at Ye Chuji who was kneeling below.

"Lin Yuan is also a spy of the Northern Kingdom! He is the one you and Hua Fuying arranged to enter the Privy Council! Tell me, have you been colluding with the Northern Kingdom for a long time?"

Ye Chuji was speechless, he did not expect that Lin Yuan, Hua Fuying and others were actually from the Northern Country.

"Father, I really didn't know that Lin Yuan and the Hua family were related to the Northern Kingdom! Even if I am a jerk, I will never collude with the Northern Kingdom, Father!"

When Ye Buhuo came in, he happened to hear Ye Chuji say this. He looked at Ye Chuji sarcastically, then saluted towards Ye Lanfeng above and said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to present to you."

Ye Lanfeng nodded to the eunuch beside him, motioning him to give the things to him.

After receiving the letter, my father-in-law saw at a glance the words "Steal the defense map" written on the top of the letter.

The father-in-law's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and pretended that he saw nothing.

Ye Lanfeng took the letter and his expression became darker the more he looked at it.

Everyone felt the emperor's strong anger, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

After Ye Lanfeng finished reading, he slammed the letter on the table, stared at Ye Chuji with gloomy eyes, and after a long silence, he spoke in a calm voice:

"I'll ask you one last time, have you colluded with the Northern Kingdom?"

Ye Chuji saw that Ye Lanfeng's voice was not as angry as before, and thought that his father was going to believe him, so he quickly said:

"Father, I have absolutely not colluded with the Northern Kingdom! You must believe me!"

Ye Lanfeng closed his eyes tightly and stopped looking at Ye Chuji. He waved to his father-in-law beside him, indicating him to show the thing to Ye Chuji.

Ye Chuji took the letter and felt something was wrong when he saw his handwriting on it. Then he read the content of the letter and found out that he had asked Hua Jingqian to steal the defense map of the Hua family army. Ye Chuji bowed his head to the ground again and explained in panic:

"Father, please listen to my explanation! I did this just to get the military power from the Hua family as soon as possible. I definitely did not betray the Ye Kingdom or you, father!"
