The woman in red's voice was like a clap of thunder in the clear sky, causing the entire hall to tremble.
Mu Yunyao endured the unease in her heart as she raised her head to look at King Yue, only to see him standing there in a daze, completely dumbfounded.
The emperor was stunned for a moment before he abruptly picked up the teacup in his hand and slammed it onto the ground."Presumptuous!"
"Please calm your anger, your Imperial Majesty." The officials fell to their knees, trembling and drenched in cold sweat. The woman in red laughed out loud."It looks like your majesty doesn't know of this news?" Grand Princess, shouldn't you stand up and explain yourself? Back then, you clearly knew that Empress Wei and the Luo Family's Patriarch had a secret relationship, and even had a hidden knot, but you still helped conceal it and helped Empress Wei live.
Having given birth to that child in the palace, and even causing the Emperor to mistake him for his own son, he has safely grown up to this day. That child back then was the current Fourth Prince, Ning Junyue! " The officials were more and more shocked, all wishing they could block their ears. The empress had always been a thorn in the emperor's side, and many of the old officials present knew that. When the emperor had just ascended to the throne, he was very affectionate with the empress. Even though the empress' mother clan was one of the six great families, the empress didn't have one ...
There was concern. Even though the empress had not been pregnant for ten years, the emperor still held her in his hands. Even if the concubine was slightly disrespectful, she was still punished according to the palace rules, which made many people's eyes red with envy.
Later on, the empress was suddenly pregnant, and the emperor was overjoyed. He even went to the court to discuss with the court officials that once the empress gave birth safely, they would be pardoned and the empress and her children would be blessed. However, the empress had poisoned ten princes out of jealousy, killed the emperor's son over and over again, and had even tried to lay her hands on other concubines who were pregnant. After the matter was exposed, court officials and officials all sent out petitions begging the emperor to execute the empress. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
But under the pressure, he only sent the empress into the cold palace, not taking her life.
From then on, the empress was the Emperor's thorn, an unhealed wound that no one dared to mention or touch.
King Yue walked forward slowly with a pale face: "Father, is that true?" The woman in red smiled proudly."You shouldn't ask the emperor. After all, the emperor doesn't know either. You should ask the Grand Princess. Yue Yang, don't you think it's strange? Why does the Grand Princess, who has always been aloof from worldly affairs, treat you so well? Why does everyone ignore you? Only she would send people to the cold palace to see you, and after returning to the capital, would often have you accompany by her side? Because she had ill intentions, she wanted to use this method to win your trust, to use you to fight for the throne, and to control you by controlling the entire Dai Dynasty! She even married her own granddaughter to you. If you ascend to the throne, Mu Yunyao will ascend to the throne ...
"The empress ..."
Yue Yang suddenly turned his head, his cold gaze was like a sharp blade chopping down, as though it could slice a person into two in an instant, "Shut up! An assassin. After being a vassal, how much of what you say is true? "
"You don't believe it, do you? I have evidence and witnesses! "Is there a small brown birthmark on your waist? Every man in the Luo Family has that birthmark. Also, someone knew about the empress's secret relationship with the Luo Family Head back then. Coincidentally, that person is still alive."
The emperor gritted his teeth as his face turned pale.
Mu Yunyao's heart was filled with worry. Thinking of the pill Grand Princess Yi De had told her to carry on her person, she hurriedly took out the medicine bottle.
The emperor's body swayed, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with a ghastly aura."You said that the empress had an affair with the head of the Luo Family?" That's right, Emperor Dog, you didn't think it was possible, did you? Back then you treated the Queen as a treasure, but your Queen secretly had a secret relationship with the Luo Family's Patriarch, haha, and all of this, even your most beloved sister knew about it, yet she kept it a secret from you for so many years.
Are you still not ready to tell the truth? "
The silent Grand Princess Yi De turned her head to look at the Emperor."Your Imperial Majesty, the dragon's body is important. You absolutely must not be angry and injure your body."
The Emperor did not look at the Grand Princess Yi De. Instead, he stared at the woman in red kneeling on the ground."Who is it? How much credibility does he have?"
As King Yue looked at the Emperor who was suppressing his rage, he felt as if a bottomless pit had been opened in his chest. His heart gradually sunk and he could no longer find a trace.
Mu Yunyao clenched her fist tightly, trying her best not to show any unusual expression. The red-clothed female saw the emperor ask, and laughed even more complacently than before."Anyway, we've only lived to the point of death and we've already lived enough for a long time, to let you know before we die that we've been living under false pretenses can already be considered a form of revenge. The witness is waiting for me at the northwest corner of the palace
If he sent someone over, they should be able to find him.
The emperor waved his hand, and several imperial guards rushed out of the hall, heading in the direction the woman in red had indicated. Soon, the imperial guards rushed back with an old man tied up in all manner of things. When the old man saw the woman in red on the ground, he couldn't help but frown.
The emperor sized up the old man and killing intent flashed across his eyes."Luo Peng?"
The old man raised his head and smiled faintly."Your majesty, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. I didn't think that you would still remember this servant."
"You are Luo Kun's foster brother. I naturally remember you."
"Back then, I was lucky enough to escape calamity. I probably won't be so lucky today." However, this servant is quite satisfied with being able to see the Emperor before my death."
"I ask you, the Empress and Luo Kun ..." The Emperor frowned deeply, as if he was extremely displeased with what he was about to say."What is the relationship between them?"
Luo Peng quickly shook his head."It doesn't matter."
The lady in red hurriedly turned her head over."Father, didn't you say that ..."
Luo Peng scolded harshly, his eyes glinting with joy as he swept his gaze across Yue Yang. He even paused for a moment before replying, "What did I say? I didn't say anything! "
The woman in red was startled, but quickly recovered. She lowered her head and didn't say anything else. If Luo Peng had poured out Yue Yang's identity as King Yue the moment he entered, the crowd might not have believed him, because the two of them were still thinking about taking revenge for the Luo Family, so they must be extremely loyal. If Yue Wang really was Luo Family's bloodline, then ...
In any case, they wouldn't sell him out. Instead, they would help him conceal his identity, and it would be best if he could take the throne. Wouldn't that be a better way to take revenge? However, this Luo Peng said nothing at all, which made everyone feel like his reaction was real. As for the woman in red, if she had spoken earlier, people would have thought that she was young and full of vigor. It seemed like the King and Li family had really made ample preparations to guess the thoughts of others ...
It was transparent.
After that, no matter how much the emperor asked, Luo Peng never spoke again. Even the woman in red bit her lips, no longer making any sound. She no longer had that deranged look from before.
The emperor's anger grew even more intense. Just as he was about to order someone to pull the two down, a palace maid suddenly ran out and knelt in the palace."Your Majesty, this servant has a piece of evidence to give to the emperor." As he spoke, he took out a letter of blood from his robes and offered it up with both hands.
"Xu Li, present here." "Yes."
