The old woman cried so hard that she felt like a pear blossom with rain in her eyes. She was extremely aggrieved.
King Netherworld was about to run towards Ye Ji to see if anything happened to her, when he saw the old woman kneeling at his feet, hugging his trouser legs, crying and accusing her in various ways.
"Your Majesty, you kindly asked her to choose three supreme treasures. Not only did she not care about you, she even insulted you."
"I was kind enough to treat her like a donkey, and I introduced treasures to her. Not only did she not show gratitude, she also wronged me in various ways. She broke the jade bracelet herself and blamed me!"
"Your Majesty, she has the support of the emperor, I...I can't argue with you!"
The old woman was crying and beating her chest hard, as if she was too aggrieved to express her feelings.
Seeing her crying so hard, Ye Ji on the side originally planned to explain, but now she stopped talking. She stood aside with her hands folded across her chest, watching the old woman's performance with interest.
It would be a pity not to win an Oscar for this acting skill.
"To accuse someone so unjustly is too much, too much!"
"A bunch of people are bullying an old woman like me..."
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"
The old woman cried so hard that her heart broke.
On the contrary, King Netherworld next to him was completely confused.
Before King Netherworld could say anything, Concubine Xian's face instantly darkened.
"How dare you scold my daughter? And say that my daughter has wronged you?" Concubine Xian's voice was as cold as ice. She looked at the old woman with a livid face and was filled with anger.
She was usually indifferent, but now she looked doubly majestic because of her anger, making people afraid to look directly at her.
Not to mention the old woman, even Netherworld King was frightened by her aura.
King Netherworld swallowed his saliva and quickly coaxed Concubine Xian: "Concubine, please calm down, the elder must have misunderstood something."
As he spoke, he glared at the old woman angrily. At the same time, he winked at the old woman and said, "Explain it carefully. If you can't explain it clearly, I want you to look good!"
The old woman looked at Nether King with a suggestive "wink" and was completely confused.
She stared at Ye Ji with her eyes wide open and her mouth wide open. Then when she saw Concubine Xian's eyebrows, she felt that the two people were strikingly similar.
But, isn’t Concubine Xian’s daughter Ye Yixuan?
"Stop being stunned and tell me quickly what's going on!" King Netherworld glared at the old woman angrily.
"I..." The old woman was stunned by the scene in front of her. For a moment, she didn't know how to explain it.
If she understood correctly, the look in Nether King's eyes clearly told her to lie and protect Ye Ji!
But...but her purpose was to frame the matter of breaking the jade bracelet on Ye Ji!
After struggling for a moment, the old woman decisively chose the latter.
She burst into tears and began her performance: "Your Majesty, I have received your order to take this girl to visit the Supreme Treasure Pavilion."
"Unexpectedly, this girl crashed the Yao Po Ten Thousand Treasures of our Netherworld Dynasty. Not only that, she refused to admit it and insisted on choosing three more treasures!"
"Your Majesty, I was entrusted by you to guard the Supreme Treasure Pavilion, but now the treasure has been damaged. I am so ashamed of you!"
The old woman burst into tears, crying so hard that she was heartbroken.
Concubine Xian had an angry look on her face after hearing this.
She glared at the old woman and shouted angrily: "That's nonsense! Is my daughter the kind of person who would deliberately damage other people's things?"
Her words stunned the old woman. She obviously didn't expect Concubine Xian to defend Ye Ji in such a way.
Ye Ji was also stunned. She didn't expect Concubine Xian to trust her so much, which made her feel warm.
Ever since she was a child, she had never been trusted so unreservedly by someone, and for a moment, her heart felt warm.
Facing Concubine Xian's unreserved trust, Ye Ji felt warm in her heart. She smiled and said with a bit more firmness in her tone: "Concubine, this jade bracelet has actually been damaged a long time ago."
"This old woman did not take good care of her, and now she wants to put the blame on me and frame her!"
Ye Ji stated the facts calmly, not wanting to betray the trust her mother and concubine had placed in her!
The old woman became anxious after hearing what Ye Ji said. She retorted guiltily: "Nonsense! It's obviously the jade bracelet you damaged!"
Ye Ji narrowed her eyes and denied, "I didn't damage it. It was already broken before I came here."
The Netherworld King on the side saw the two people at war with each other, and for fear of upsetting Concubine Xian, he quickly smoothed things over: "It doesn't matter, it's just a broken bracelet, why are you still refusing to let her go?"
"If she likes it, let her throw it!"
"You can throw as many as you want, as long as she is willing!" Netherworld King said very grandly.
After saying this, he deliberately puffed up his chest and looked at Concubine Xian expectantly, as if he was waiting for Concubine Xian's praise.
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the old woman, even Ye Ji herself was shocked.
Is the supreme treasure of the Netherworld Dynasty so worthless?
Did the old woman deliberately put on a show and try to frame her?
Seeing that the two of them were no longer arguing, King Netherworld looked at Ye Ji with a pleasant smile: "Ji'er has already chosen? Are these three items?"
"Is three pieces a bit too little? If you like it, how about choosing two more?"
"Or is it that I have too few treasures in the Treasure Pavilion and there is nothing that suits your liking?"
King Netherworld looked nervous, fearing that Ye Ji would dislike him.
Ye Ji: "..."
The old woman on the side: "..."
I bet she was busy in vain just now?
Ye Ji looked at the treasure in her hand, frowned, and subconsciously refused: "No reward for no merit, the king has already rewarded me with three treasures."
Before Ye Ji could shirk away, she heard King Netherworld say indifferently: "How can you not be rewarded for your merits? First you exposed Ye Yixuan's true face and then saved the queen's life. I can't thank you enough." Woolen cloth!"
With that said, King Netherworld personally selected three items and stuffed those so-called rare treasures into Ye Ji's hands as if they were free of charge.
The old woman on the side was stunned.
She never dreamed that King Netherworld would be so generous to Ye Ji, and for a moment, she felt extremely jealous.
At the same time, her heart was full of regret!
If she had known that Ye Ji was so popular with the king, why would she put all her effort into putting on such a play.
"It turns out it was all a misunderstanding. If the bracelet breaks, just break it. It's not an important treasure anyway." The old woman said with a smile.
Her eyes fell on Ye Ji's arms, staring at the rare treasures in Ye Ji's arms, and she felt as if she was swallowing chaff, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
God knows what it feels like for her to guard so many rare treasures every day but not be able to use them for herself.
But this Ye Ji is lucky, she actually has so many rare treasures, and she is allowed to choose from them. She is so honored and treated, she really makes people jealous!
