Chapter 1158 (Why Don't You Believe Me?!)
Everyone was watching, and everyone was listening...
Yi Yi, upon hearing and seeing it, was filled with disbelief. She didn't even know that man! Why would he frame her like this?
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I don't even know that man," Yi Yi now understood why Ye Ye had been ignoring her. It was because they all misunderstood her.
However, no one expected that someone else actually sent this woman and had harmed the Empress Dowager...
Oh god, someone who plotted against the Empress Dowager not only survived until now, but also, judging by the Emperor's attitude, it seemed like he knew about it but chose not to kill her...
The emperors present couldn't help but think in their hearts. If it were them, they would probably have killed her long ago.
Ye Hua said coldly, "You keep claiming to be innocent, but where is the evidence? Aren't all your actions just destroying the harmony of my family? Ye Juetian! Is that not true?"
Ye Hua was extremely angry now. 'Even though this deity has spared you, he hasn't killed you outright... And on a day like today, you dare to bring this up!'
'Whether you're innocent or not, you wasted the medicine! That's a fact as solid as iron. My mother doesn't have much time. If it weren't for giving face to my brother, I would have killed you a hundred times over by now! Did you think you could still be alive till now?'
Ye Juetian didn't know how to answer that question. He just wanted to save Yi Yi's life!
How to save her!!! What should he do!!!
Ye Yuanqing wanted to say a few words, but looking at her older brother's gloomy face, it would be unwise to speak up now.
It wasn't just Ye Yuanqing who thought so. Qing Ya and others didn't dare to provoke Ye Hua at this moment, as it would only hasten Yi Yi's death.
Gong Yue, on the other hand, was very happy. The Emperor had already become angry, so Yi Yi was undoubtedly doomed today!
Le Jing sighed helplessly. 'This foolish child, why did she choose today... She is just seeking death…'
Everyone looked at Ye Juetian, seemingly able to associate something.
Could it be... the Emperor's own younger brother likes this girl?
Otherwise, how could this woman survive until now?
Yi Yi looked up at Ye Juetian. 'People may not believe in me, but Ye Ye, you should believe in me.'
Is it?
Ye Juetian felt... If he chose to believe in Yi Yi, would it anger his big brother even more?
If he really did that, it would surely drop his big brother's face in front of everyone. It would be even harder to handle, and his big brother would be even more furious.
But if he didn't believe Yi Yi, she would surely feel very miserable.
Ye Juetian glanced at his big brother, his eyes filled with pleading. 'Can't we spare Yi Yi?'
Ye Hua didn't even look at him.
Ye Juetian frowned, turned around, and shouted, "Since there is no evidence, there is no need to explain anymore!"
Hearing Ye Juetian's words, Ye Hua felt slightly relieved. He didn't lose face in front of so many people! Consider yourself understanding, kid!
Ye Juetian thought to himself. He gave face to his big brother, and his big brother should give him some face too.
However, when Yi Yi heard Ye Juetian's words, her face instantly became pale and powerless. 'Why does no one believe me? Even Ye Ye, you... are the same as them…'
Yi Yi couldn't help but recall the scene when she first met Ye Juetian. 'I believed in you and chose to follow you... But in the end, why can't you believe me? How could I harm you?'
"Why don't you believe me?" Yi Yi looked at Ye Juetian and asked. This undoubtedly revealed to everyone that she had a relationship with this prince.
People whispered... even in the mighty royal family, there were such things...
A prince falling in love with a palace maid, only to marry someone else in the end... It was truly a melodramatic story.
Tomorrow, the entire northern region would probably go crazy. Within the might of the Voidless Empire, there were still unknown secrets.
Ye Juetian really hoped that Yi Yi would stop asking. 'I was obviously speaking to my big brother…'
However, the sorrowful Yi Yi didn't understand these things. She believed everything he said.
Ye Juetian looked at the people gossiping and thought, 'It's over. Big brother is truly angered.'
"Enough! You don't need to say anything more. I won't believe a word you say!" Ye Juetian gritted his teeth against the pain in his heart and shouted. Looking at Yi Yi's agony, he truly wished he could bear this punishment for her.
Hearing Ye Juetian speak in such a manner, Yi Yi's face turned ashen... Gossiping voices reached Yi Yi's ears.
"This woman still wants to enter the imperial family, shameless."
"Yeah, deliberately picking a day like this to reveal everything, she's a scheming woman."
"If I were the Emperor, I would have killed such a woman long ago."
"You've got the guts to be the emperor."
The venomous words made Yi Yi's head spin. She slowly lifted her head to gaze at the azure sky.
The sky above the Voidless Empire was beautiful, with gentle sunlight warming the land. But Yi Yi couldn't feel this warmth; instead, it was icy cold, as if freezing her heart.
"Ye Hua, today is a joyous occasion for Little Tian. Let's not cause bloodshed." Le Jing whispered softly beside him, as causing death on such a grand wedding day was inauspicious.
Ye Hua felt his mother was making sense. Originally, today was supposed to be a day of celebration, to drive away bad luck.
"Today is a joyous occasion for my younger brother. I don't want to see bloodshed! We'll deal with this matter later!" Ye Hua coldly ordered, considering this to be the utmost of benevolence towards his brother. If it were in the past, she would have been dead for sure!
Ye Juetian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his brother showed mercy... Otherwise, Yi Yi would have been doomed.
Gong Yue's face turned ugly. The Emperor actually spared Yi Yi. How could this be possible?!
She said such words in front of all the guests, wasn't she embarrassing the emperor?!
Fortunately, her red veil covered her face, or else Gong Yue's contorted face would have been exposed.
Qian Yuqing and others also breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Hua's decision was wise; causing death at the wedding would have been ominous.
"No! I'm not a spy! Ye Juetian! I'm not a spy!" Yi Yi, who had been silent, suddenly burst out. Her eyes turned red as she stared at Ye Juetian on the steps. It was so bleak and sad. 'How much suffering have I endured, I believed in you so much, but you can't believe in me…'
Yi Yi's sudden outburst also stunned Ye Juetian. Because Yi Yi had never acted like this before, that heart-wrenching voice echoed in his mind, shattering his own heart.
Ye Hua had originally intended to let her go today, but he didn't expect her to escalate things even further!
'You think this deity dares not kill you?!'
Qian Yuqing seemed to understand Yi Yi's feelings. Before, Ye Hua was extremely cold towards her, and at that time, she even wanted to die.
Fortunately, Ye Hua, that bastard, was just fooling her, scaring her soul away.
