How dare he say such a treacherous thing when Lu Zhengchun and Emperor

Yong Le were present? Lu Zhengchun was so angry that he almost fainted. Xie Jingxing was clearly asking Ye Hongguang to take back his word! How could there be such a lawless person in the world!

“Now, tell me again.” Xie Jingxing played with the gold ingot in his hand and said casually, “What did you see?”

Ye Hongguang had probably never thought that someone would dare to be arrogant in front of the emperor. Nervous, he looked at Ye Mei for help, because among everyone present, the person who was closest to him was only

Ye Mei.

However, to Ye Hongguang’s disappointment, Ye Mei did not help him. Instead, she lowered her head and avoided Ye Hongguang’s gaze. This made Ye Hongguang even more helpless.

Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xiande did not speak.

Although Lu Zhengchun was also angry with Xie Jingxing, he did not dare to make a move rashly. Moreover, it was not the time to fall out with the royal family yet. Back then, when Xie Jingxing returned to Long Ye, there were many court officials who expressed their doubts about him, and none of them had a good ending. Xie Jingxing was ruthless and vengeful. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Zhengchun did not dare to go against him openly.

Ye Hongguang refused to speak. At this moment, Shen Miao calmed down. She walked forward and stood side by side with Xie Jingxing. She looked at the young man in the wheelchair and said, “Did you really see me push Consort Jing down?”

Ye Hongguang looked up at her. Shen Miao was a woman after all. Ye

Hongguang was not that afraid of her. Although his expression was still a little unnatural, he was much bolder. He hesitated for a moment and nodded firmly.

She said, “Alright, then tell me where you were at that time.”

Ye Hongguang was stunned.

“Were you on the top or the bottom of the stairs?” Shen Miao asked patiently. She softened her tone, like a gentle sister, but Ye Hongguang suddenly shrank his neck nervously because of her question.

Ye Mei, who was kneeling on the ground and not moving, trembled slightly.

Shen Miao did not give him a chance to think. She continued to ask, “Do you remember? On the top or bottom?” “Bottom,” Ye Hongguang said.

Shen Miao chuckled.

Lu Zhengchun and Madam Lu glared at her, as if they were angry that she could still chuckle at such a moment. Empress Xiande, on the other hand, relaxed slightly. Emperor Yong Le stared at Shen Miao, and Xie Jingxing crossed his arms and looked at Ye Hongguang with a faint smile.

“That’s strange.” Shen Miao said, “That staircase is very long and steep. It’s precisely because of this that Consort Jing fell to her death. How can you see me clearly from below? I’m afraid you can’t even see Consort Jing.”

Ye Hongguang was stunned. He was young and inexperienced. Today, when he saw Emperor Yong Le, he was already extremely nervous. Now that Shen Miao was questioning him aggressively, he panicked.

Ye Mei slowly clenched her fists.

Shen Miao asked, “Young Master Ye, think about it again. Did you remember wrongly? Is it on the top or the bottom?”

Ye Hongguang quickly said, “On the top. I made a mistake. It’s on the top!” He repeated affirmatively..
