After the emperor finished speaking, the whole court was silent for a moment.

Everyone is not a fool, so naturally they will not take the so-called "testimony" that the emperor said at the end seriously.

The imperial family still maintains some of the past styles. There are groups of servants and attendants in the palace. On the surface, they are hired, but in fact they are not much different from the servants in the past. They will naturally stand on the side of the emperor.

Such testimony is of course not valid.

But the problem is, just as the people around the emperor cannot be the emperor's witnesses, Ji Fangze also cannot testify for Ye Cheng.

Even these days, because of the many things Ji Fangze has done for Ye Cheng, the relationship between them has become difficult to cover up, and it has become a frame that is not good for Ye Cheng.

"Qi Yan, in the past two years, if the royal family has been inconsiderate in any way, I will apologize to you." The emperor's eyes were tired, with a little sadness and accusation, "But after all, I have been a family member for two years, even if you want to end this relationship now If you have a relationship, you can naturally leave with dignity, so why use such a method?"

The royal lawyer looked at the prosecutor above: "As far as I know, the other party has a very close relationship with the Mr. Ji sitting next to him."

Ye Cheng held down Ji Fangze who was about to get up suddenly beside him, but looked indifferent to the accusation: "Yes, we are lovers."

The royal lawyer nodded: "As for Mr. Ji Fangze, I am afraid that there are some misunderstandings and conflicts with my client's family. I have reason to suspect that this is the motive of the other party to slander our client."

The judge finished listening quietly, and signaled Ye Cheng to defend.

Without Ye Cheng saying anything, the lawyer who volunteered to stand up has already stood up: "Your Honor, first of all, I want to say that my client, Mr. Ye Qiyan, is exactly 43 days younger than the original princess, Ms. Ye Qitong. .”

Everyone at the table showed puzzled expressions, but soon, more people understood.

The original wedding was held exactly one month after Ye Qitong's coming-of-age ceremony.

"So, regardless of whether what His Majesty said is true or not, whether or not everyone, including Mr. Ye Qiyan, consented to the marriage change at that time, this marriage relationship is not valid, and the adult party has to bear the corresponding legal responsibility. Responsibility. Regarding this point, we will send a lawyer's letter to His Highness the Third Prince later. Based on this, my client can maintain a legitimate relationship with any single person without being subject to legal or moral responsibilities."

"In addition, our real topic today is whether Mr. Ye Qiyan has been physically controlled by the royal family for two full years."

The other party's lawyer immediately said: "We can provide images of Mr. Ye Qiyan's many appearances in front of the public. The freedom of movement and natural behavior are enough to prove that Mr. Ye Qiyan has not been raped or controlled."

"That's just because my client was threatened and intimidated, and dared not go against the will of the captor without being sure that he would be able to get out of the predicament."

"We oppose it. According to the principle of whoever advocates, whoever proves it, if you can't produce the corresponding evidence, you can't slander my client like this."

Ye Cheng's lawyer stopped the useless war of words, but turned to the judge: "According to what my client said, in the past two years, he has used two optical brains, one belongs to Her Royal Highness 'Ye Qitong', The other is the current anonymous optical computer. I applied to call the travel records of these two optical computers in the data bureau. In the past two years, except for the public occasions that the royal family requires him to attend, he has not been able to step outside the palace. .”

"That's just because Mr. Ye Qiyan likes to live in a house. Now that Starnet can almost match the reality, there are many people in this society who stay at home all year round. If you use that optical brain belonging to 'Ye Qiyan' at the same time, you will It is found that in the past 18 years, he has not had a record of leaving the Ye family several times. Could it be that he has been under control for the past 18 years?"

Strictly speaking, this point is quite true, the Ye family implements strict control over the children in the family who are not yet full, and Ye Qiyan himself is indeed a person who doesn't like to go out.

But Ye Cheng has other evidence.He had been preparing for this scene long after he came to this world.

Ye Cheng's lawyer handed over several printed medical examination reports: "My client is missing the last injection and has not received all ETV vaccines."

When the alien virus invaded, it set off an epidemic with countless casualties in the empire, and it took several years to finally stop.The corresponding vaccine was developed, and since then it has become the type of vaccine that every citizen of the empire must take and is provided free of charge by the state.

This vaccine has a long cycle and needs to be given six times.Three months after adulthood is the deadline for the last injection.

"No matter how much a person lives in a house, no matter how much he doesn't like to go out, it is impossible not to take such a common and important vaccine. At that time, it was not long after the 'wedding'. Could it be that my client, since then Is it time to start preparing for today's all?"

Ye Cheng sat here and seldom spoke, but at this moment he added: "After I entered the palace, the optical brain that authenticated the identity of 'Princess Ye Qitong' was actually not in my hands. Because I was not allowed to leave the palace, I hope to I got an ordinary optical computer and a simulation cabin that can at least be connected to the Internet, so I offended the queen and was imprisoned in the empty West Temple area. Only artificial intelligence maintained my basic survival. That was when I was most painful and helpless, It's totally out of the question for the vaccine."

"Later, I reached an agreement with the queen. I will try my best to match the identity of the third prince and concubine, and then I got an anonymous optical computer. The anonymity of the optical computer is definitely not like what he said before. It is because I discovered that I love mechas. It was only then that I was equipped with the technology of the military department. Because there was no balance in that optical brain. And I hadn’t experienced mental growth at that time, and I didn’t have much contact with mechs. They just restricted my activities on the star network. scope."

"If I hadn't met my current lover by accident, I might not have survived that period of time."

The lawyer interjected: "After the identification of authoritative people, my client does have moderate depression caused by long-term excessive mental stress."

This lawsuit has attracted the attention of the whole country. Among all the people, a little bit of tug-of-war lasted for three full days.

Personal freedom is really a difficult concept to define, so despite the two parties' arguments, the ten authoritative judges present finally reached a "five-to-five" situation.

The matter of the royal family deceiving the public, the invalidation of the marriage contract and the suspicion of fraudulent marriage is already a certainty, but it is still impossible to decide whether to "control Ye Qiyan's personal freedom".

The final decision rests with the elderly police officer on the field.With everyone's eyes on him, the old man tapped the wooden hammer lightly, and his voice was so relaxed that he seemed to be joking: "Then let's make a public opinion ruling."

"I don't think my decision can have the fairness to convince anyone. So who to believe and what the truth is, let the people decide."

Public opinion ruling is a special judicial procedure of Xinglan Empire, just like the country full of philosophical brilliance many, many years ago, a matter was decided by the results of the votes of all citizens.

The popularity of the star network is enough to meet such conditions.

In Xinglan's history, there have only been a few public opinion rulings, each of which was a major event that shocked the whole country.

Voting lasted all day.The moment the result was announced.

"This is impossible!"

The emperor stood up suddenly, and the seat behind him fell back, making a creaking cry.He stared at the result on the light screen.That stark contrast indicates the final outcome.

He has already received hints from members of the royal family and the parliament that after this incident, he will write an abdication edict.This is already an unchangeable fact, and taking the initiative can maintain the final dignity.So in any case, his political career is over.

But he couldn't accept such a result!

This made him more painful and unbelievable than the judges directly convicting him!

The empress next to him couldn't hide her haggardness even though she tried her best to dress up, but she didn't lose her composure too much. She reached out to pull the emperor, who was roughly opened by the emperor.

"This is ridiculous!"

The emperor looked around: "I, I work hard to be a good emperor, but my subjects betrayed me like this!"

Ye Cheng didn't show much joy and encouragement, everyone looked at each other with a relaxed smile, and started to pack their things.

After that, whether to go to jail or what, the court will consider the appropriate result based on the specific charges.

The emperor pushed away the court staff who were blocking him, and staggered towards this side.

Ji Fangze subconsciously stood in front of Ye Cheng.Even though Ye Cheng was not afraid of him, he still accepted the other party's intentions, and hid behind Ji Fangze, only showing his head, indifferently annoyed: "What can I do for you?"

The emperor came to the opposite seat in a breath, but at this moment, he didn't know what to say, he just lost his mind.

After today, not only will he take the blame and abdicate, he may even face imprisonment!All his sons lost their inheritance too!

No emperor would have a father, mother, and younger brother in prison!

The emperor looked at Ji Fangze, and found some traces of the past on his face.He spoke hoarsely, with a strange smile: "In the end, you won. Why, when are you going to announce your identity and be honored as the throne?"

Ji Fangze didn't bother to talk to him.

This kind of person who regards power and majesty as everything, and wantonly tramples on others to prove his authority has become a complete, hopeless rotten person, and nothing can convince him.

Ye Cheng, on the other hand, was very interested, appreciating the despair and unwillingness on their faces: "Yes, we won, but you lost. What are you going to say?"

The emperor came to his senses at this moment, picked up the so-called decency, but said coldly: "It's because I am inferior to others, I have nothing to say. You mother and son are both masters of attracting people's hearts."

He has been living in Ji Wei's shadow all these years.He still remembered that back then, Ji Wei was admired by the people, almost reaching the grand occasion of everyone's response.So these years, he has worked hard in terms of reputation and popular support, but in the end, he still lost to that woman's son.

Ye Cheng has dealt with them for more than two years, and he has a little understanding of the brain circuits of these people.He leaned on the table: "There is no question of "skill" here at all. Because the truth is like this. The truth is that you are not as good as your sister, and that you really imprisoned and persecuted Ye Qiyan."

Here, he used the word "Ye Qiyan", but no one noticed that it was wrong.

Ye Cheng curled his lips: "Everyone is just not blind. To be a truly convincing emperor is not as simple as showing a perfect life every day, showing love, and doing charity."

No matter how cold-hearted a person is, it is impossible for him to not have any friends and family members whom he has met in real life for two years, not to go out anywhere, not even to see a medical examiner.

Everyone knows there must be a problem.

Ye Cheng was very curious, why did the emperor think that everyone would choose him?Obviously, the public opinion ruling is strictly selected, and it is impossible for the navy to buy it.

Could it be that after being an emperor for a long time, can he have an extraordinary inflated self-confidence?

Leaving people behind, Ye Cheng and others left.

Ji Fangze said suddenly: "Ji Qingheng was sitting on the opposite seat just now, look at him."

"I didn't, you talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense."

"Just watched."

"Okay, I took a look. I was just thinking, is Ye Qitong dead or not? If he's not dead, he can probably go to prison and continue his relationship."

After all, the matter of Ye Qiyan has come to an end for the time being, and the trial of the Imperial University quota trading case has not yet started.

This is just the beginning.
