Chapter 111

She originally thought that Ye Lanchen was only staying in Imperial Concubine Ning's room to arouse the suspicion of everyone. She didn't expect such a scene to occur.

For such a scene, it didn't matter if Ye Lanchen had spoken his mind.

Moreover, at this moment, Imperial Concubine Ning was already dead. The dead couldn't speak, so no one could prove it to Ye Lanchen.

"What the hell is going on?" The emperor's eyes looked at Ye Lanchen. It was obvious that there was a hint of coldness in his voice. His voice was also stern enough to make people tremble. It was obvious that the emperor was very angry at this moment.

"I don't know either. I really don't know what's going on. I don't even know how I got in here." It was obvious that Ye Lanchen was innocent. Moreover, he was only vaguely framed. However, in this current situation, it was useless for him to say these things.

At this moment, Ye Wu Chen was flustered and afraid. He didn't even hesitate to address her.

"Tell me, what did you see?" The emperor didn't say anything after hearing Ye Lanchen's words. He directly turned to look at the palace maids in the room.

"Yes, returning to the emperor, yes, this servant heard some noise outside and shouted a few times, but didn't hear Imperial Concubine Ning's reply. Because Imperial Concubine Ning's health hasn't been good lately, this servant was worried that something might happen, so this servant opened the door and … this servant saw Imperial Concubine Ning already dead, no, at that time, this servant couldn't confirm that Imperial Concubine Ning was dead. Only, did I see Fourth Prince press down on her body?" The palace maid laid prone on the ground, her entire body trembling. Her voice was also slightly shaky as it was somewhat intermittent.

"This servant was completely scared silly at that time, and felt her entire body go limp, without even the strength to turn around. Then, when I, this servant, looked at Imperial Concubine Ning, I saw that she didn't move at all, nor did she make any sound. Furthermore, her eyes were wide open, and they didn't even blink.

As the palace maid spoke, Tang Kexin kept looking at her. From her expression and words, it could be determined that the palace maid was not lying.

In other words, what she saw was real.

When the empress heard the palace maid's words, her face turned as pale as paper and her body trembled uncontrollably. Even if Chen'er had been framed, if he had done such a thing, he was afraid …

The emperor's expression became even gloomier. His eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Royal father, I didn't. I didn't do that kind of thing to Imperial Concubine Ning. I really didn't. You have to believe me." At this moment, due to his fear, Ye Lan Chen's voice was obviously trembling as he turned towards the emperor and shouted anxiously.

The emperor's lips pursed slightly. He didn't say anything, so it was unknown what he was thinking.

"But heart, but heart, you have to save me, you have to save me, I know you can definitely save me, you can definitely prove my innocence." Seeing that the Emperor didn't say anything, his eyes were obviously dejected. However, when he slightly shifted his gaze, he coincidentally saw Tang Kexin. A bit of hope immediately appeared on his face.

He knew that, but his heart would definitely be able to save him.

Tang Ke's heart looked at him as he inwardly shook his head. How naive was he to be framed to such an extent? What was the use of his brain?

"She? Can a girl like her save you? " Senior Concubine Ming turned around and saw Tang Kexin. Her lips curved in a taunting smile.

"But Xin, why have you come?" It was only then that the Queen saw Tang Kexin. She was so shocked that her entire body went stiff. Now that this matter had involved Chen'er, she definitely could not involve her heart in it again.

That person's methods were too sinister and too vicious.

Tang Ke knew in his heart that the empress was worried about him. However, how could she not care about what had happened to Ye Langchen? It wasn't only because of her cousin's and cousin's relationship.

It was also because she had made the first friend in the ancient times, and every time something had happened to her, he had spoken up for her. Now that something had happened to him, how could she not care?

What's more, Tang Ke felt that this matter was very likely to be related to the events that had occurred in the past. It might have been a conspiracy of the same person.

"But heart, this matter, you really aren't …" When the emperor looked at Tang Kexin, his eyes flashed with a faint unhappiness. After all, this was a matter of the imperial harem.

"Father, your heart is strong, this matter can only be saved by you." Father, your heart is strong, this matter can only be saved by you. Hearing that the Emperor also wanted to make Tang Kexin leave, Ye Wu Chen hastily spoke.

"You said that everything that happened last time was told to you from the heart?" The emperor was obviously stunned. His expression was one of disbelief and astonishment. Even the average man did not understand those things. When Chen'er said it, it shocked everyone.

Even he was shocked. He did not expect Tang Kexin to tell Chen'er all of this.

How could this girl understand those things?

"Your majesty, do you believe in Kexin?" Tang Ke looked at the emperor and slowly spoke. Right now, if she wanted to investigate this matter, the most important thing was for her to obtain the emperor's permission.

This was, after all, the emperor's family affair. It was said that the family's shame was hidden from the public, let alone such a thing.

Just now when His Highness had called Imperial Physician Liu over in public, that was only an excuse, and it was mainly for the public to see.

Imperial Physician Liu was a man after all. With Imperial Concubine Ning's current state, it was impossible for her to let her in.

The third prince and the crown prince were only waiting in the yard.

The emperor looked at Tang Kexin and pursed his lips. He seemed to be deep in thought for a moment before he suddenly said, "Alright, I believe in you."

The empress was very worried at the moment, her heart almost stopped beating. But since the emperor had already spoken, she couldn't say anything else.

Moreover, she also hoped that Chen'er would be fine. If Xin Er could truly prove Chen'er's innocence, then she would do it.

"Your majesty, I want to check on Imperial Concubine Ning's situation. Can you ask the emperor and everyone else to leave?" Seeing that the emperor had agreed, Tang Kexin secretly let out a sigh of relief as she spoke again.

"Tang Kexin, are you chasing the emperor?" Imperial Concubine Ming was afraid that others would forget her. If she didn't speak soon, she would suffocate to death.

"All of you, leave." Only, the emperor's face sank as he ordered in a cold voice.

As he spoke, the Emperor turned around and walked out of the room.

Naturally, Imperial Concubine Ming didn't dare to say anything else. She could only follow the emperor out of the room.

The others also left the room.

A palace maid from the Kunning Palace had already brought new clothes for Ye Lanchen. He put them on and followed her to the main hall.

When the emperor left his room and saw the crown prince and Ye Lanjue standing in the courtyard, he was startled for a moment, but he did not say anything. When the palace maid told him about this at the banquet just now, she was naturally known by everyone.

Since the others knew about it, there was nothing to hide from the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

Seeing that everyone had left the room, only Tang Kexin didn't come out. Her eyes slightly darkened and quickly became a bit worried. That woman didn't even care if she was pushed to the top of the waves for the sake of Ye Chonglou.

She knew that since she had interfered with this matter and investigated about it, the next step for the person behind her would probably be to directly target her.

And right now, he couldn't help her at all. Imperial Concubine Ning was, after all, the imperial concubine of the palace, and something like that had happened.

At this moment, the jealousy in his heart towards Ye Lan Chen deepened. When he looked at Ye Lan Chen, it was obvious that there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

After everyone had left the room, Tang Ke stepped forward and carefully inspected the room, not missing a single detail.

The people outside waited quietly. No one made a sound. The entire hall and yard were quiet except for the faint sounds of the birds and insects.

After about fifteen minutes, Tang Kexin opened the door and walked out. At that moment, everyone's gaze was on her.

"But did you discover anything?" At this moment, Ye Lanchen was the most anxious and nervous of them all. When he saw Tang Ke Xin, he couldn't help but ask her.

The Empress stared fixedly at Tang Kexin, waiting for her reply.

Upon seeing her appearance, Ye LanJue knew that she should have already discovered something, but the worry in the depths of his eyes grew.

At this moment, she had helped Ye Lanchen, so it was highly likely that she had pushed herself into danger.

She was smart enough to think about it, but she still acted without hesitation.

It was because of this that he was so damn jealous of Ye Lanchen.

"But heart, how is it?" At this moment, even the Emperor couldn't help but ask. When he looked at Tang Kexin, his eyes were filled with hope.

One was his concubine, the other was his son. None of his concubines could have a new one, but his son was his. He could not replace his son. Thus, the Emperor was naturally supporting his son.

Furthermore, with the emperor's intelligence, he could tell that this was a conspiracy. However, it would be difficult to prove Ye Lanchen's innocence.

"Right." Tang Kexin lightly nodded her head and replied with a resolute expression.

Tang Ke replied in his heart, but he didn't look at the emperor. His eyes quickly swept across the faces of every single palace maid in Ning He Palace.

He carefully observed the changes in the expressions of each of the palace maids.

Everything had been planned so flawlessly for this matter. It wasn't just the actions of an outsider, it was absolutely the work of a traitor. The traitor must have been someone close to Imperial Concubine Ning. In addition, that person was someone that Imperial Concubine Ning trusted more.

After looking around, Tang Kexin retracted her gaze. There weren't many changes in her expression, but the corner of her mouth had a hint of coldness.
