On the ground, Ye Mei suddenly trembled.

Shen Miao was still smiling, but her eyes turned sharp. She said, “Oh? Young Master Ye, it’s not inconvenient for you to move freely. I don’t think you can climb up such a long staircase. Someone should have carried you up there. You should have your own servants by your side. Why did you say that you were the only one who saw me push Consort Jing down?”

The room fell silent.

Beads of sweat broke out on Ye Hongguang’s forehead. His face was red, and he could not speak for a moment, as if he was guilty of being exposed.

Emperor Yong Le said coldly, “Do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor?”

Ye Hongguang would be beheaded for deceiving the emperor. If he was quick-minded enough, he could come up with excuses. For example, he could say that he asked the servant to fetch something for him. However, Ye Hongguang admitted his lie so easily. Clearly, he was not familiar with doing this at all. If it were an experienced person like Ye Mei, it would be much easier for her to come up with more lies to talk her way out of the difficult situation.

The corners of Xie Jingxing’s lips curled up. “Brother, why don’t we just cut off his head and hang his corpse outside the palace gate?” He said lazily, “If anyone can accuse the royal family, we’ll be made a laughing stock.”

Xie Jingxing obviously wanted to make an example out of Ye Hongguang. However, he was not a kind person to begin with, and he had never had a good impression of the Ye family. He did not hesitate to threaten at all. This made Ye Mei’s face turn pale, and it made Lu Zhengchun’s expression very ugly.

Empress Xiande said, “Ye Hongguang, how dare you lie in the palace and slander the princess consort?”

She spoke sternly, and Ye Hongguang was so frightened that he almost cried. However, Ye Mei ignored him. He did not have anyone familiar in the palace and was very helpless.

“Young Master Ye is still young, so it’s understandable that he made a mistake.” Shen Miao spoke up for Ye Hongguang.

Everyone was surprised by her actions. Ye Hongguang had slandered Shen Miao. Although Shen Miao was not vicious, she would never show mercy to the people who harmed her. Back then, she had never shown mercy to the second and third branches of the Shen family, and even the royal family of Ming Qi.

Therefore, at this moment, her leniency towards Ye Hongguang was puzzling.

Xie Jingxing also frowned.

Shen Miao bent down slightly and looked at Ye Hongguang. She said gently,

“Did anyone teach you to say that?”

Ye Hongguang’s body suddenly trembled. Shen Miao was close to him and could clearly see the panic flashing across his eyes.

Ye Hongguang was really not good at lying. Although he did not show it, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was lying. Xie Jingxing’s eyes narrowed. Ye Hongguang looked up at Shen Miao and said firmly, “No one taught me.”

However, he no longer insisted that Shen Miao was the murderer.

Shen Miao said, “I understand.”

Empress Xiande frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Consort

Jing’s matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Since Ye Hongguang admitted that he made a mistake, his words are not to be taken seriously. The most important thing now is to search the palace thoroughly and find out the murderer. Also, we have to keep Consort Jing’s corpse.” In the end, she looked at the Lu couple and said, “General Lu, do you have anything else to say?” In the end, her tone was filled with mockery..
