Ye Yun was not interested in this. He turned around and whispered to Yu Wenqian before quietly leaving the table.
After leaving the banquet, Ye Yun met Bai Zhi, who had just arrived, and a man dressed as a strange attendant.
When Bai Zhi saw Ye Yun, her face lit up and she hurriedly took a few steps: "Princess!"
Ye Yun glanced at Bai Zhi, then turned to the person behind her: "Who is this?"
"Li Jing, a humble official, has met the eldest princess. I wonder if the eldest princess has met my prince?"
Ye Yun frowned: "Your prince?"
"Princess, he is the eldest prince's personal attendant." Bai Zhi explained in a low voice.
It turned out to be Yu Wenqian’s person.
Ye Yun said: "Brother Huang is at the banquet. You can go in on your own."
"Thank you very much, Princess, for informing me. I am resigning from my humble position!"
When Li Jing walked away, Ye Yun asked, "Why are you together?"
Hearing this, Bai Zhi's cheeks turned slightly red, and she said with embarrassment: "I was admiring flowers with the princess just now. Because Bai Zhi saw a flower blooming so beautifully, she looked at it a few more times. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, the princess disappeared. Bai Zhi followed the path in search of the princess, but she went further and further away. Li Jing happened to be passing by. After careful questioning, she found out that he belonged to the eldest prince. It happened that the eldest prince could not be found, so we guessed that the princess might be with the eldest prince. Together, we hurried to the banquet to see what happened."
Bai Zhi finished talking about her experience in one breath, then thought of Ye Yun and Yu Wenqian, tilted her head and said: "By the way, princess, you have never had any contact with the eldest prince, how come you are attending the banquet with the eldest prince today?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi would bring the topic to herself. Ye Yun paused, coughed dryly and said, "It's a coincidence!"
Then he ignored what Bai Zhi was doing and walked forward on his own.
Bai Zhi scratched her hair and looked at Ye Yun's retreating back, with some confusion in her eyes. Didn't it mean that the eldest prince stayed alone in Jiangxue Pavilion? Strange, how did the eldest prince get out in a wheelchair alone without anyone pushing him?
The more Bai Zhi thought about it, the more confused she became. She glanced at Ye Yun who had already walked away, didn't want to think about it anymore, and immediately trotted to catch up.
Ye Yun wandered around the palace at will, unknowingly walking further and further off the road. When she was about to return, she suddenly heard a burst of curses coming from the front: "You little bastard, please hand over your things quickly, otherwise you will be waiting for the miscellaneous family." Report this matter to the Concubine Tong, and you will reap the rewards!"
"What is it? I didn't take it!"
"Hey! It seems that if the Zajia doesn't show any seriousness today, they really have nothing to do with you. Why don't you two catch him for the Zajia!"
In the corner, two little eunuchs were holding a child on one side and the other on the left. The child was short in stature and had a sallow complexion. At first glance, it was caused by a lack of nutrition all year round.
Although he was being forced to kneel on the ground at this time, his eyes were still calm and calm: "I told you, I didn't take the thing. Even if you beat me to death, I can't take it out!"
"Okay, Zajia wants to see if it's your mouth that's tough or the soles of Zajia's shoes!" After saying that, the eunuch took off one of his shoes, and Mou Zujin was about to pat the child.
At the critical moment, Ye Yun moved, quickly grabbed the eunuch's wrist, snatched the shoes from the eunuch's hand in the blink of an eye, and threw them to one side.
The eunuch looked at this turn of events in astonishment and was about to get angry, but when he saw the man in front of him was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, he suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "I don't know that the noble man disturbed the noble man here. I deserve to die." , slave deserves to die!"
The other two eunuchs were cowed when they saw the always domineering Eunuch Hu. How could they dare to challenge Ye Yun? They hurriedly let go of the child and knelt on the ground, not daring to express their anger.
Ye Yun glanced at the child who was still kneeling on the ground, and a flash of distress flashed in his eyes: "Bai Zhi, help the child up."
"yes!"
Bai Zhi came out from behind Ye Yun and stepped forward to help the child: "How are you? Are you okay?"
The child struggled to get out of Bai Zhi's arms, took a few steps back and saluted Ye Yun respectfully: "Thank you for your help, noble man!"
"No need to be polite, it's all a matter of a little effort." After saying that, Ye Yun looked at Mr. Hu who was kneeling at his feet and said, "Raise your head!"
Hearing this, Eunuch Hu raised his head, but did not dare to raise it too high.
"Let me ask you, why are you setting up a private court? According to our laws and regulations, anyone who is beaten in a private court and is beaten will be punished with ink. Those who refuse to plead guilty and have no repentance will be punished with additional crimes! If you can't tell me who Chou Yin is today. Come on, I will personally arrest you and take you to Yuxi Palace to punish you!"
Hearing that Ye Yun wanted to arrest him and take him to Yuxi Palace for punishment, Eunuch Hu was so frightened that he trembled and shouted for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me. This morning, the Concubine Tong gave me a ruby, saying that I wanted to wait until the banquet starts to give me this ruby." The servant was sending the things over. Just now, the servant suddenly wanted to relieve himself on the way to deliver the things. The servant thought that the ruby handkerchief had the symbol of Yuxi Palace embroidered on it. He thought that no one would dare to take it, so he put the things not far in front. On the stone table.
Unexpectedly, when the slave came back from urinating, the handkerchief that was originally covering it was still lying aside, but the ruby inside was missing.
The slave was so frightened that he hurried back to look for him and looked around. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he saw him sneaking in the corner. Before the slave could say anything, he was eager to run away. If he wasn't guilty of thief, why would he run away! "
Ye Yun frowned: "Based on this alone, do you think he took the thing?"
"Of course not, sir, please take a look!" Eunuch Hu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve: "This is the handkerchief that the servant used to cover the ruby just now. There is a handprint on the handkerchief. Such a small mark, except for children, No one can get it right.”
Ye Yun took the handkerchief. There was a clear palm print on the white silk handkerchief. The finger bones were distinct. Judging from the size, it was undoubtedly a child's handprint.
Ye Yun was a little confused. She turned her head and glanced at the child who was standing aside without saying a word, and then moved her gaze back to the silk handkerchief.
Judging from the existing evidence, it is understandable that all the fingers are pointed at the child, but...it comes from the heart. The child's eyes are clear and unadulterated, and he is definitely not a sneaky person.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yun looked at the child and said warmly: "Come here."
The child glanced at Ye Yun. Although there were doubts in his eyes, he still walked to Ye Yun and said, "What are your orders, noble man?"
Ye Yun folded the silk handkerchief in half, revealing the side with the palm print and said: "Come, put your hand up."
Although the child was young, he was very smart. He immediately understood the intention of Ye Yun's move. He put his hand on the palm print. In full view of everyone, the hand and the palm print completely overlapped. Eunuch Hu exclaimed: "This The evidence is conclusive, let’s see what else you have to say!”
The child looked at this scene in shock, shook his head and murmured: "It's not me, it's really not me."
Ye Yun touched his head and comforted: "I know."
Hearing this, Eunuch Hu was unhappy. He raised his voice and said, "My lord, the facts are in front of you. You can't be partial!"
