Riding the Pheonix Chapter 485: Confess
Wen Ying was stunned.
She thought that blaming the matter on Ming Wei had nothing to do with her.
I never thought that we could check it in such detail!
The prince glared at her fiercely and resisted the urge to lift the screen.
What an idiot! Do you think everyone around the emperor is a fool? Once something is done, it will leave traces that cannot withstand careful inspection. He knew clearly that he was not clean and was not harmonious, but he still made things worse.
Fortunately, he was reluctant at first and accepted Wen Ru. Otherwise, if he had such an idiot by his side, who knows how he would be deceived by her.
The emperor's eyes flickered, and he scanned everyone present one by one.
Wen Ying lay on the ground, trembling, looking frightened. The prince looked very unhappy, but he tried his best to remain calm. Mingwei seemed shocked and quickly lowered his head. Yang Shu opened his mouth and his eyes flickered.
The emperor thought thoughtfully. This was because both sides had done something. They just thought they had done it covertly enough and would not be found out. In turn, they wanted to push the other side into the water. Who knew that Xuan Fei had retained such important evidence, and now both parties are afraid of being exposed.
But, who does that unmarked number one belong to?
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of porcelain being banged in my ears, and the people in the harem whispered: "Empress!"
When the emperor turned his head, it was Concubine Pei who accidentally spilled the hot tea in her hand.
"My beloved concubine!"
Concubine Pei looked a little unnatural and smiled at him: "I'm fine, I just wasn't sure."
Seeing that she only wetted the handkerchief in her hand, the emperor nodded: "Be careful."
Looking back, his eyes darkened.
"Then recognize it!"
"Father!"
"Holy Lord!"
Yang Shu and the prince spoke at the same time.
The emperor's eyes swept over them majestically: "What, do you have any objections?"
When Yang Shu touched him, he lowered his head uncomfortably: "No, no..."
The prince forced out a smile and said: "My son, I think it is not good for outsiders to know about this matter. Should we send away the irrelevant people first?"
King Xin, who had been watching the show quietly, now spoke up: "Brother, just now Miss Wensan said that what we want is fairness and justice. If we can't find out the truth in front of all the ladies today, I'm afraid it will be detrimental. My royal reputation."
"You..."
Before the prince had time to speak, the emperor spoke: "Then let them recognize you."
Xuanfei, who had been waiting for the Holy Judge to respond: "Yes."
He turned to look at the dozen little Taoist priests and said, "Do you remember the person who won the first lot in your lot?"
The young Taoist priests all responded: "Disciple, remember."
"Then identify it."
"Yes."
One by one the ladies were identified, and in the end only one was left, with nothing in front of her.
Wen Ying.
Xuanfei asked again: "No one remembers this lady?"
Among these young Taoist priests, the older one came forward and said: "Master, there are only twelve of us, and we have all been identified now."
Xuanfei nodded, turned around and saluted in the direction of the screen: "Your Majesty, the conclusion has been reached, please judge."
The emperor looked at Wen Ying, who was shaking like chaff, and asked: "Miss Wen San, what else do you have to say?"
Wen Ying was already petrified. She was not smart, she was spoiled, and she didn’t understand chores at all. She didn’t expect to be able to tell her lies so easily. She was even more confused now and couldn’t even think about it. Make excuses.
The prince took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Father, I know my mistake."
The emperor looked away and looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"
The prince lowered his head and said in a very sincere tone: "Third cousin loves Ayan. I have known it for a long time, but I just pity her infatuatedly, so I pretended not to know. Third cousin is at fault, and I cannot shirk it. It is my connivance. , so she makes more mistakes. I know my mistakes, please punish me."
The emperor looked at him quietly and said nothing.
King Xin sighed in his heart, feeling very sorry.
How come you admit your mistake so quickly? If he persists to the end and presents the evidence one by one, his father will definitely become even more angry. Now that he has taken the initiative to admit his mistake, he can no longer attack.
You have become smarter after all.
King Xin changed his mind and said: "Father, I just feel sorry for my cousin, so I made a mistake. Everything I did was out of concern for my family. It is excusable. I hope you will take it lightly." Disappointed."
"Family?" The emperor said these two words with a mocking tone, "You are the prince, the heir apparent of a country, not just cats and dogs. They are all your family."
The prince lowered his head deeply: "My father taught me that it is a son and minister...there is no distinction between public and private matters."
As he apologized, he cursed in his heart. He didn't mention any family members. They all believed in the king. They seemed to beg for mercy for him, but in fact they were provocative.
But he can't get angry now. Mr. Fu has said many times to stay calm. The emperor would not like a prince with a bad temper. If you find that something is irreversible, you must stop the loss in time. If necessary, you must break your arm to survive. If you are reluctant to let it go, you will only lose more.
Now, Wen Ying has become his weak point~IndoMTL.com~ and must be cut off quickly. Even the Wen family...if they have become a burden to him, they must be cut off in time!
Wen Ying had no idea that she had been treated as a broken arm by the prince. When she heard the prince say the word "admiration", she suddenly thought of what to say and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! I know my mistake! I really can't bear to see you. His Royal Highness the King of Yue was deceived by a witch. This Ming Qi, who had clearly been engaged before, abandoned her fiancé and chased His Highness the King of Yue to the northwest. How could such a shameless woman be worthy of His Highness? After hearing this, the maid felt aggrieved for His Highness. , then..."
"Who wants you to be unfair?" Yang Shu's angry voice came from the other side of the screen, "What kind of good thing are you? You dare to make trouble in the royal concubine selection. Not only do you cheat yourself, but you also blame others. On the body. What do you think of the royal majesty? What do you think of the laws of the court? You are actually justified! Your Majesty, this fact is too ridiculous. You are so eloquent that everyone draws the lot fairly. By doing this, the Wen family clearly did not take you seriously. Here! How can the world be convinced if you deceive the emperor like this without punishment? Please make the decision for me!"
"Okay!" The veins on the emperor's forehead jumped. He did not expect that things would develop to this point.
He originally thought that the person who snuck in with the first lottery was Ming Wei, but he didn't expect that it was Wen Ying.
He was certain that not only Wen Ying had done something wrong, Ming Wei must have done it as well.
But when he thought carefully about the reactions of the two people just now, the mark on the phoenix signature seemed to be more likely to be Wen Ying. If the investigation continues and it is determined that Wen Ying did it, then the image of Mingwei’s victim will be clearer
At this time, Concubine Pei gently pulled his sleeves and looked at him with pleading eyes: "Your Majesty..."
The emperor sighed silently and said: "Since you admit it, let's punish him. Take him down and deal with him later!"
