Chapter 6 Punishment
"Are you sure it's the crime? Instead of accusing me?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows, not being confused by his words in the slightest.

"If you really hurt me with a hidden weapon between your fingers, then you deserve death." The man understood it clearly, and slowly uttered a sentence.

The man's gaze never caught her hand from beginning to end, so how did he know that she had a hidden weapon in her hand.

It seems that the martial arts of the man in front of him is likely to be higher than hers, so Ye Li dare not act rashly.

Not far away, there were dense footsteps coming from the government's routine patrol personnel.

Before Ye Li had time to react, she was taken to the side wall by the man.

"Be sensible, stay here and don't move."

In the darkness, the man's voice only added a bit of mysterious charm.

After the words fell, the man suddenly moved away, and then returned to the same place, the speed of his movements seemed to be a flash.

In her previous life, Ye Li had seen many athletic people, but she had never seen one with such superb ability.

Several yamen servants ran over quickly, ignoring the two fallen corpses beside the empty carriage, and immediately knelt down when they saw the man.

"Prince, why are you here?" The yamen servant knelt down, not daring to look up at him.

"Bold!" Fu Mingxuan yelled angrily, with a domineering demeanor, "I haven't asked you why the law and order in the city is so poor."

"It's daylight, but the evildoers from all sides are still acting out of their birth."

"If it weren't for the strength and strength of this king, I'm afraid he would have died by now." He snorted coldly, his eyes were gloomy and cold.

"Prince, spare your life, prince, spare your life, it's because your subordinates didn't do their job properly." The leading yamen servant repeatedly kowtowed, not daring to be negligent, but then raised his head tentatively, "But your highness, this is two lives after all."

"It's okay." Fu Mingxuan glanced at the two corpses, until they died, there were no wounds on their bodies, "This king will naturally accept the crime."

At the corner of the city wall, Ye Li could hear the conversation clearly.

It turned out that this unpredictable person turned out to be the current prince!

Ye Li was so surprised that she quietly left here while he was still negotiating with the yamen servant.

Not surprisingly, at the emperor's birthday banquet tonight, she should meet him again.

After Fu Mingxuan greeted the servants, he returned to the corner of the city wall, but Ye Li was nowhere to be seen.

He pursed his lips slightly and smiled playfully.

That day, in the palace.

The emperor was sitting at the top of the hall, with important officials and family members on both sides.

The toasts are intertwined, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras can be heard endlessly.

After listening to the birthday celebration all day, the emperor was already tired of hearing it, so he glanced at Ye Li who was sitting not far away.

"Li'er is becoming more and more generous." The emperor took the initiative to speak, his voice was deep and thick.

Ye Li recalled the appearance of the royal relatives saluting just now in her mind, she learned how to act now, stepped forward and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

She deliberately wore the jade pendant on her waist, which was very conspicuous.

Fu Mingxuan sat on the seat, looking at Ye Li with great interest.

It was not too bright just now, and it was too hazy to see clearly.

At this moment in the hall, he was able to take a closer look at Ye Li's appearance.

She was born handsome, with watery eyes, and even though she was wrapped in heavy clothes, her figure was still uneven.

Just looking at this charming appearance, it is really impossible to connect her with the dandy prostitute that everyone calls her.

She didn't even dare to imagine that she also killed two middle-aged men.

It seems that this daughter of the Duke's Mansion is not like the folk rumors at all, and she can't even be underestimated.

"Speaking of which, Li'er is about to reach the age of marriage." The emperor went straight to the point, "What I said back then still counts, but what does Li'er think of my emperor's sons?"

Ye Li took this opportunity to size up the princes present here.

The crown prince sat at the first place on the right hand side of the emperor, and his outline was exactly the same as the man he saw on the road this morning.

He was wearing an apricot-yellow robe with a five-clawed dragon pattern embroidered on it, full of nobility.

The bridge of the nose is high and straight into the clouds, the eyes are dark and deep, like an unfathomable ocean, and there is an indifference in the whole body, which makes people feel awe in vain.

Looking closely, he was born extremely upright.

The one sitting next to the crown prince should be the Fifth Master Lingwang——Fu Juchen.

He is not qualified to wear dragon pattern clothing, so he is wearing a dark green gown with tufted patterns. His facial features are still superior, but he is not as majestic as Fu Mingxuan.

Ye Li's line of sight happened to meet his, and Fu Juchen hurriedly looked away as if he didn't see her.

It was this man who fascinated the original owner, but secretly colluded with Ye Qing.

Seeing that Ye Li looked at Fu Juchen a few more times, everyone knew the result.

Unexpectedly, Ye Li replied after thinking for a while: "Li'er is still young, and has never had any sweetheart."

After Fu Juchen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, his face full of disbelief.

He was the one who least believed what Ye Li said.

"That's fine." The emperor followed suit, "Leave Li'er to think about it. If you like it, you must tell me about it as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Li saluted before returning to her seat.

"Father, my son does not know whether to say something or not." Fu Mingxuan saw that everyone was concentrating on eating, so he couldn't help coming to the center to bow down.

"But it's okay to say." The emperor waved his hand, looking down at the crowd, showing the emperor's air.

"When I was rushing to the palace this morning, I met two thieves on my way, who were trying to do me wrong." As he spoke, Fu Mingxuan unconsciously looked at Fu Juchen.

With just one glance, everyone couldn't help wondering whether this matter had something to do with Fu Juchen.

One must know that the position of the crown prince is coveted by everyone, and Ling Wang is the one with the crown prince the most.

"My son... my son." Fu Mingxuan was at a loss for words.

"Why?" The emperor frowned, already prepared in his heart.

"In order to protect myself, I accidentally killed the two of you." After finishing speaking, Fu Mingxuan saluted again, "I know that killing someone's life is not advisable, and I hope that my father will punish me."

"Presumptuous!" The emperor was furious, with blue veins bulging on his forehead, "You also know that it is not advisable to kill someone. This robbery is a small matter, so let the yamen handle it. Murder is not a small matter!"

"I'll punish you for thinking about it for half a month! Your monthly salary will be deducted."

Seeing that the emperor was angry, everyone knelt down and bowed to the ground.

At this moment, Fu Juchen couldn't help but say, "But father, the martial arts competition is imminent, and the crown prince is the chief examiner..."

"If the prince is not successful, why not you?" The emperor handed over the matter to Fu Juchen, and then angrily reprimanded Fu Mingxuan.

Fu Juchen readily agreed. You must know that the chief examiner of the martial arts competition has always been the crown prince.

Regardless of whether he harmed the prince or not, what he got was real power.

"Yes, I obey." Fu Juchen knelt down and returned to his seat.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, but Ye Li's mind was filled with the words "martial arts tournament".
