Chapter 1169 (Why Won't You Help Me)
Ye Juetian shifted his feet, but found Gong Yue holding onto him tightly, very tightly.
Of course, Gong Yue could only do so because she felt that only Ye Juetian could save her.
Meng Yao stood in front of Gong Yue, extending her palm. The Soul Gem seemed particularly glaring in Gong Yue's eyes.
'Why does such a stone exist in this world! It's fake! All just a deceit.'
"Gong Yue, prove your innocence!" Meng Yao said lightly, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent. Gong Yue was doomed today!
Gong Yue didn't reach out for the Soul Gem.
Qian Yuqing and Ye Yuanqing couldn't help but think of Huang Yun. That day, he dared not touch it because once he did, all the lies would be exposed. However, Gong Yue was now in the same situation.
Le Jing sighed lightly. "Daji, help me back."
"Yes."
Daji respectfully helped Le Jing leave. Le Jing didn't want to watch anymore. The truth was already clear.
This woman had harmed both her sons! There was no need to pity her!
Looking at Gong Yue, Meng Yao asked lightly, "Gong Yue, what's wrong? Prove your innocence and let everyone know that I just got jealous and wanted you dead."
Gong Yue's face turned ashen, ignoring Meng Yao. Instead, she clung to Ye Juetian's leg, begging, "Juetian, I didn't do it. You have to believe me. I really didn't do it. Help me...please, help me, say something for me."
Ye Juetian said in a deep voice, "Gong Yue, take the Soul Gem and prove yourself!"
"No! This thing is fake! Fake! Can't be trusted!" Gong Yue roared, her delicate face looking particularly hideous.
Looking at the Emperor not far away, Gong Yue crawled and grabbed onto Ye Hua's leg, pleading bitterly, "Brother, you have to believe me. I didn't do such a thing. I wouldn't harm you!!!"
With tears streaming down her face, Gong Yue looked up at Ye Hua, but there was no change in his expression. This frightened Gong Yue to the extreme. She crawled to Qing Ya's feet, "Sister-in-law, save me... I didn't do it."
Qing Ya remained silent and slowly turned her head away.
Gong Yue then crawled to Donghuang Baizhi, "Sister-in-law, please, say something for me? Please, I'm Juetian's fiancée! Why won't you help me?"
Gong Yue crawled to Qing Yutong and then to Qian Yuqing, pleading with each person desperately.
But no one said a word because the truth was already clear. This woman had turned the Voidless Empire into a Heartless empire, becoming the laughingstock of the entire north, a topic of gossip after meals.
Just for a little jealousy...
Gong Yue's knees were already scraped raw. She slowly stood up and looked at everyone, shouting, "It's you who brought me here! It's you who made me leave my parents! It's you who made me marry him! And now you want me dead! Can't I resist? Have you ever known, the poison I gave to Yi Yi was originally meant for myself!"
"I like Juetian, I love him! I'm willing to do anything for him! But this woman! She appeared between Juetian and me! Ye Juetian! Have you ever had me in your heart for a second?! I went to hell for you! And you! You never even glanced at me from beginning to end!"
"She sacrificed for you, but when I sacrifice for you, can't you see it? Why do you only see her in your eyes, but not even a shadow of me? Why are you so cruel to me?! All of you are bullying me, an outsider!" Gong Yue roared, questioning, pouring out all her grievances.
Ye Juetian was also stunned after hearing this. He remembered that it was himself who chose Gong Yue, who called her over!
When she first came, Ye Juetian felt that Gong Yue was a good girl. But unexpectedly, she gradually descended into the abyss.
Ye Juetian looked at Gong Yue beside him. Was she wrong to sacrifice for him? She used extreme methods just to get rid of Yi Yi's presence in her mind!
'But I, Ye Juetian, only love Yi Yi. If there's fault, it lies in not shouldering the responsibility from the beginning, not telling Big Brother, Sister-in-law, and Mother that I've fallen in love with a woman named Yi Yi!'
'Perhaps this would have been the best outcome. No one would have been hurt!'
Different perspectives lead to different views. From Gong Yue's perspective, loving Ye Juetian was not wrong in itself. But the mistake lies in this being a doomed relationship, with both hurting each other.
Women can understand women. Qing Ya and the others seemed to empathise with Gong Yue's story.
Of course, Donghuang Baizhi was also included.
When the two met, they couldn't help but have some thoughts. There was only one man, and they all wanted him for themselves.
But at that time, Ye Hua's attitude was firm. He insisted on having both, saying, "How about I have both!"
But Ye Juetian was different. Maybe he wasn't as fickle as Ye Hua. He was devoted in love and had determined Yi Yi to be the one.
If Ye Juetian were also the kind to play around, he might have been able to have both beauties.
After all, what Gong Yue cared about was having a place in Ye Juetian's heart, and Yi Yi was the kind of girl who was easy to manipulate.
But unfortunately, character determines everything, and it was a tragedy from the beginning.
Now that Gong Yue has admitted her guilt, who was at fault first in this whole matter has become unclear.
Listening to Gong Yue's grievances, Meng Yao felt a bit touched. She was brought into the palace, but she entered voluntarily. Surrounded by this square palace, who could understand the bitterness in it?
But framing her, that was a fact! It couldn't be erased!
A pitiful person must have something hateful about them!
"Ye Hua, how do you plan to handle Gong Yue?" Qing Ya quietly approached Ye Hua and asked softly.
To be honest, Gong Yue's crimes were clearly punishable by death! After all, she had brought shame to the entire Voidless Empire!
But can all the blame be placed on Gong Yue? If you hadn't had such conservative ideas in the first place, would Gong Yue have become such a vicious woman?
From good to evil, there is always a process. No one is born evil!
Ye Hua frowned slightly. Had this happened in the past, he would have certainly sentenced her to death!
This was related to the honour of the entire team. But Ye Hua also had faults in this matter; he was too ruthless, which led to this situation!
Yesterday's incident was actually caused by him alone. He even created the fact that Gong Yue had become so vicious.
