Chapter 269 Return of the Pearl Buddha 37
As soon as Xiaoyanzi finished speaking, the room fell into silence, and Yongqi soon reacted.
"Xiaoyanzi, what nonsense are you talking about!"
He covered Xiaoyanzi's mouth with his hand, and tried to explain with a stiff smile. As soon as he raised his eyes, he met the emperor's cold face.
The Queen also walked over in disbelief, and under the gaze of everyone, Yongqi had no choice but to shut up awkwardly.
He slowly let go of Xiaoyanzi and knelt back down.
Ziwei and Erkang were also frightened by Xiaoyanzi's sudden confession.
After the panic, Erkang felt a little secretly happy in his heart. It would be good for him if Ziwei became a princess as soon as possible, and it would also be a good thing to make it clear.
Jinsuo, who had been kneeling behind several people, quietly moved closer to Ziwei.
Ever since she entered the palace, she was dazzled by everything in the Forbidden City. She didn't dare to look up when she saw the emperor, and was trying to digest her shock.
The emperor's kind attitude made Jinsuo fantasize about her future life.
Who would have thought that Xiaoyanzi would reveal the secret as soon as she opened her mouth, and now it is uncertain whether she can survive.
The situation before him was very obvious. These people were all insiders. The emperor suppressed his anger, glanced at them one by one, and then sat back down.
"Who of you can tell me what's going on?"
Xiaoyanzi swallowed her saliva. She had never seen the emperor look so serious.
But now that I've said it, there's no point in being afraid.
He simply told the whole story of the accident and added, "Your Majesty, Erkang found Ziwei's household registration in Jinan this time."
"This is the proof. I really didn't lie."
"absurd!"
The emperor slammed the table, his mind full of how to get rid of all the people in front of him.
As an emperor, he could never accept being deceived, especially when a few juniors kept him in the dark and played him around.
"Erkang, is what Xiaoyanzi said true?"
When Erkang heard about the household registration, his heart suddenly stopped. He couldn't believe that Ziwei actually told Xiaoyanzi such an important thing.
Then he quickly took the things out.
"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true. I dare not conceal anything."
At this moment, he was very glad that he had brought the copied household registration with him, otherwise, the emperor might not have the patience to wait for him to produce evidence in his rage.
As soon as the emperor saw the official seal on it, he knew that this was not a fake.
The Queen turned around and looked at Concubine Ling, asking her what was going on, but she saw that she was also confused and shook her head at her with a pale face.
She couldn't help but look at Xiaoyanzi again.
I didn't expect the other party to be so bold that he would risk his life and break into the enclosure for a sworn sister. It's really incredible.
Concubine Ling covered her bulging belly nervously. When the Empress Dowager proposed to send people to Jinan, Ertai and others behaved extremely abnormally.
She had some vague guesses, but for various reasons she didn't intend to delve into it.
After all, the emperor likes Xiaoyanzi so much, and Concubine Ling always puts the emperor's preferences first and would never take the trouble on herself.
Afterwards, Xiaoyanzi left Beijing, and the matter of sending people to Jinan came to nothing.
But now...
Concubine Ling carefully observed the emperor's expression, hoping he would not be too angry.
The emperor did not fly into a rage as Yongqi had guessed. He stared at the words in his hand, as if nothing had happened.
Only the slightly trembling fingertips revealed the uneasiness in his heart.
Xia Yuhe...
The emperor has too many women, and he has almost forgotten what Xia Yuhe looks like.
It was Xiaoyanzi's intrusion that made the figure clear and solid again, but it was all fake!
This made the emperor feel that the affection he poured into Xiaoyanzi was a joke.
Little Swallow had never felt time so unbearable. She stared at the ground nervously and guiltily.
Ziwei's heart slowly calmed down from the previous excitement and gradually became uneasy. The father she was thinking about did not even look at her.
After a long while, the emperor's cold voice sounded faintly, "Come here, send all these people to the Heavenly Prison."
"emperor!"
“Emperor Father!!”
"No one is allowed to persuade me again. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. If you have the guts to do this, you must bear the consequences."
"Your Majesty, I, Xiaoyanzi, am solely responsible for my own actions. If anyone wants to imprison me, I should be the only one to be imprisoned. It has nothing to do with them."
"I lost my family when I was young. I was so greedy for my father's love that I lost my mind. I deceived you. If you want to kill me, then kill me. Ziwei is your daughter. She knows nothing."
"Fifth Prince and the others didn't know about it before."
Xiaoyanzi stood sideways in front of Ziwei, not wanting her to see the disappointment in the emperor's eyes.
When the emperor heard Xiaoyanzi's words, his eyes softened a little, but he still didn't give in.
"Huh! Really? They don't know!"
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and drag him away so I can interrogate him thoroughly."
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!" Concubine Ling rushed out with her belly bulging, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, this happened for a reason. Xiaoyanzi is young and naive. Considering how much joy she has brought you, please forgive them."
"Empress Ling, are you confused too? Impersonating a princess is a crime of deceiving the emperor. How can you let it go so easily?"
The Queen looked at Concubine Ling lying on the ground with her big belly, and couldn't help but frown and glare at the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Concubine Ling is pregnant, so her health is more important."
Thinking that she had accepted a lot of things from Concubine Ling these days, she signaled Rong Mama to go forward and help Concubine Ling up.
After receiving the Queen's gaze, Concubine Ling wiped her tears and sat back.
The queen handed over the tea and tried to comfort the emperor.
Not only did Concubine Ling see the emperor's contradiction, she also saw that according to the emperor's temperament, if he was really angry, he would be dragged away directly.
Why would I waste my time listening to them?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. If Xiaoyanzi really wanted the status of a princess, she could have simply denied it for the rest of her life."
"Given your initial love for her, no one would doubt her identity. How could she abandon her status as a princess and leave the capital?"
After the Queen finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at Ziwei who was snuggling with Xiaoyanzi. She seemed like a sensible person.
"As for the emperor's biological daughter, her name is Ziwei, right?"
She raised her eyebrows at Concubine Ling, who immediately spoke.
"The Empress is right, Your Majesty. Look at them. They are your own flesh and blood. They also took risks and gave up the glory and wealth that were within their reach."
"Isn't this kind of feeling enough to explain everything?"
"It's a thousand miles from the capital to Jinan. I don't know how much hardship the girls went through, and Xiaoyanzi was seriously injured."
"Your Majesty, can you really bear it? I believe they were also extremely reluctant to leave."
Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei hugged each other and cried bitterly. Ziwei was touched. It must be so kind of her to have someone she had never met speak well of them.
Xiaoyanzi was also very surprised, knowing that this was a good opportunity for them to escape.
Looking at the emperor with tears in her eyes, with her arms unable to move, she looked so pitiful.
"Of course I can't bear to leave, Your Majesty. You are the best person I have ever met. You didn't care about all the troubles I got into. I still remember all the kindness you showed me..."
When it comes to life and death, Xiaoyanzi's mouth seems to be smeared with honey.
His mind was working very fast, and he didn't say anything that would cause any harm. Every word he said softened the emperor's heart.
Ziwei was not a fool, and the emperor's attitude obviously softened.
She also bravely took the initiative to talk about what happened that day. The cliff was too steep and she really couldn't do it. She was injured while patrolling the streets.
The emperor felt guilty towards Xia Yuhe, and he unconsciously put down his teacup and listened slowly.
Occasionally he would ask a question or two, and after a long time he would sigh deeply.
"Your mother taught you very well."
Xiaoyanzi survived the disaster and sat on the ground helplessly.
The Queen looked at the Emperor and Ziwei starting to have a sentimental conversation and turned her head away in disgust. She was still not used to the way they were talking.
