Chapter 253 Ye Hanting's Plan
Ye Hanting glanced at the eldest prince indifferently.
He helped spread rumors on the streets.
With just the few people the eldest prince has, there is no way to let everyone in the capital know that Chu Li has an illegitimate child.
He followed the clues given by Chu Li and fermented the matter.
The more harshly people cursed Chu Li at that time, the more guilty they would feel after knowing the truth.
Since they wanted to ruin Chu Li's reputation, he let everyone in the world know what kind of person Chu Li was.
He is Chu Li's husband, so it is not convenient for him to come forward to protect Chu Li directly. It would be more convincing if someone from the Censorate came forward.
Chu Li glanced at Ye Hanting. That day she only told Ye Hanting about her adoption of a child.
Next, she confidently handed the matter over to Ye Hanting because she believed that Ye Hanting would not expose his own child.
Ye Hanting remained calm and took advantage of those who had ulterior motives.
He killed two birds with one stone, not only protecting her reputation, but also catching the person who spread the rumor.
As expected, there is a reason why he was able to win the top three places in the imperial examinations at the age of 18 and become a tutor at such a young age.
This is the powerful Master Ye. Even if he doesn’t show up, he can still get things done beautifully.
There was admiration in Chu Li's eyes. Xiao Ming looked like Ye Hanting, so his IQ should be good enough.
The ministers felt guilty.
"Your Highness, we misunderstood you!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has a broad mind and is a role model for our generation!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been quietly doing good things, but we are here to suspect that he has an affair with a prostitute. I am so ashamed!"
Pei Ye looked at Chu Li quietly, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his usually cold eyes.
He lost his parents when he was young and suffered from contempt and neglect.
He could best empathize with the children's feelings at the moment.
Is Chu Li really such a soft-hearted and compassionate person?
Then why did he leave the chance of survival to himself and kill Chu Chu!
Chu Chu is obviously his twin sister, why did Chu Li do that!
Pei Ye was in mixed emotions. He lowered his eyes and thought about Chu Chu's tragic death, feeling heartbroken.
Emperor Qingyuan saw that the wind direction changed suddenly. He really underestimated Chu Li.
If Chu Li adopted the child in advance just for today's show, his prince is more scheming than him!
If he truly treats those children, the emperor's kindness will be greater than his.
The prince is becoming more and more powerful. Emperor Qingyuan feels proud but also senses a sense of crisis.
Mu Feng looked at Chu Li with burning eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief for him.
He thought of his adoptive father telling him not to get too close to Chu Li, but he couldn't control his emotions.
He didn't want Chu Li to suffer any injustice.
So he stepped out and reminded Emperor Qingyuan, "Your Majesty, there must be something fishy about this matter. Someone must have done it deliberately to frame the crown prince."
As soon as the topic changed, everyone reacted.
This matter is a conspiracy against the prince!
Ye Hanting knew that Mu Feng would never sit idly by.
Everyone knows that he has a good relationship with Chu Li, so his words on behalf of Chu Li are not convincing.
And it was very appropriate for Mu Feng, who had always been fair and selfless, to ask this question.
Chu Li looked at his uncle gratefully.
Today she feels the goodness of having a husband and family.
Her grandfather deliberately distanced himself from her, and she knew that he was putting on a show for outsiders.
My uncle also cares about her.
Chu Li felt warm in his heart because he was loved by his elders.
She felt extremely embarrassed when she thought about how she had suspected that her uncle was the man that night.
What kind of imagination can make one imagine that the uncle went to bed with her!
The pervert Chu Li secretly despised himself.
Emperor Qingyuan's eyes were gloomy, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
The eldest prince was so frightened that his face turned pale little by little.
Prime Minister Jiang stood there expressionless. Today, the prince won a lot of applause.
Not only did the eldest prince fail to frame his father successfully, but he is now putting himself in danger.
I don't know if he has the ability to clear himself.
Emperor Qingyuan looked at Pei Ye and said, "Commander Pei, go investigate. No matter who framed the prince, beat him with a stick first and then bring him to me for punishment!"
"Yes!" Pei Ye nodded.
When Chu Li left the palace, the way the court officials looked at Chu Li changed again.
After today's battle, the prince became a crown prince with outstanding character and ability in their minds.
Soon, the news that Chu Li had adopted more than 500 orphans spread throughout the capital.
Everyone gathered in front of the notice, looking at the long scroll in which the children pleaded for the prince's injustice.
For a moment, the wind direction changed, and those who had secretly cursed Chu Li in their hearts felt extremely guilty.
“I didn’t expect the prince to quietly adopt so many orphans.”
"The prince also said that they are the children of Da Chu."
Some people shed tears. For ordinary people, except when they paid taxes, they were the children of Da Chu.
At other times, they are not the children of Da Chu, they are the burden of Da Chu.
"We have wronged the Crown Prince. It is a blessing for us people that Great Chu has such a kind and benevolent heir to the throne!"
"Yes, it turns out that someone deliberately spread rumors. We must keep our eyes open in the future!"
The people praised Chu Li highly, and Pei Ye listened to their discussions while riding on his horse.
If Chu Li is really such a benevolent monarch, it will be a blessing for the people of Chu.
Does he still want to kill Chu Li?
Chu Li's abilities in all aspects are indeed the best among the princes.
Would he kill such a popular crown prince just for personal grudge?
Pei Ye was upset. He analyzed the matter in his mind with an expressionless face.
Whoever wants to deal with Chu Li is simply because of a vested interest.
He instructed his subordinates, "I told you to keep a close eye on their every move, even their peeing!"
"Yes, Commander!"
On the other side, the eldest prince returned to his palace and paced back and forth.
He went to see Prime Minister Jiang, but Prime Minister Jiang said he was sick and avoided him.
This old fox actually did not help the person in danger.
You want to cut off ties with him!
The eldest prince bit his nails nervously. What should he do?
He looked at his confidant, "Go to the Dali Temple and deliver the message."
The subordinate leaned over to listen to what the eldest prince said, took note of it carefully, and then went out.
......
Dali Temple Prison.
Ji Xueying learned about the eldest prince's plan, and now the people of the whole city are cursing the prince.
A smug smile appeared on the corner of his lips. You see, as long as the prince falls, Xuanying will have no backing.
His backer is the eldest prince who has the best chance of winning the battle for the throne. With the help of Yun Wanying, who is deeply in love with the Grand Tutor, how can the prince not fail?
He was just feeling happy, but Old Chen quietly told him, "Something bad has happened. The Crown Prince has no illegitimate children at all. Not only did he not have an affair with a prostitute, he also raised more than 500 orphans."
"How is that possible!" Ji Xueying's pupils shrank sharply, "Are you lying to me?"
Old Chen slapped his thigh anxiously, "Why would I lie to you? The Crown Prince's story has spread all over the capital, and everyone praises the Crown Prince for his kindness and love!"
Ji Xueying swallowed his saliva and thought that everything should be fine.
Xuanying shouldn't be so smart as to deliberately spread false information to fool him.
When footsteps were heard, the jailer Lao Chen saw that the eldest prince's men had arrived, and he immediately cooperated and opened the prison door.
Then, he saw the eldest prince's men talking to Ji Xueying and then trying to kill him to silence him...
