After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Zhao Xi closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

He was tricked.

What’s even more hateful is that until now, he still doesn’t know who plotted against him!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Last night, he felt like he was the oriole, but he didn't know that he was the mantis!

Zhao Xi concealed his anxiety and resentment, and said calmly, "Father, I swear to heaven that I never did that beastly thing to Jia. I have questioned the servants who served me last night, and they said that I was drunk and unconscious and was carried into the bedroom. Before I fell asleep, there were only two maids on duty in the room, no one else!"

"There are so many people coming and going in the backyard of the palace. If I openly carried Jia back to my room, how could anyone not see it? According to the maid on duty, they went to get water on the way, and when they came back, they heard a woman's voice in my room. I suspect that Jia sneaked into my room while I was asleep, intending to frame me!"

"Is this true?" Emperor Jianxi was suspicious.

Jia looked up to the sky and yelled, "Your Majesty, this is unjust. If what the prince said is true, there are people coming and going in the palace, how could I sneak in without being seen? The witnesses and confessions the prince mentioned are all from the palace. They eat the salary of the palace and obey the prince's orders. How could they tell the truth?" Jia was heartbroken and tears welled up in her eyes. "I really have no way to defend myself!"

"It is I who cannot defend myself!"

When Zhao Ying came in with Queen Xiaomin in her arms, she heard Zhao Xi shouting.

Queen Hyomin: Let’s not talk about the king, my son…

Zhao Ying: No wonder Yueer misunderstood it at first.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"My son, I meet my father..."

Emperor Jianxi waved his hand and declined the formality.

When Zhao Xi saw Queen Xiaomin and Zhao Ying coming, he closed his eyes in embarrassment, feeling hopeless. This was such a huge embarrassment...

Queen Xiaomin didn't say anything, she just sat down and listened, and Zhao Ying did the same.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Xi had been beaten to death by Jia.

The witness statements were all from the palace, so they were naturally not trustworthy.

Besides this, what other evidence is there?

Emperor Jianxi, Empress Xiaomin, and Zhao Ying were silent, obviously believing it.

Zhao Ying coughed twice, feeling somewhat embarrassed. After all, it was her own brother who had done the evil thing and insulted the innocence of a minister. Fortunately, Jia was a strong woman, otherwise she would have committed suicide in anger after suffering such humiliation, and Zhao Xi would have been even more guilty.

But if this matter is handled properly, it can be overcome.

Zhao Ying stood up, walked forward, handed the teacup to Emperor Jianxi, and said softly, "Father, please calm down..."

Emperor Jianxi took a sip. Zhao Ying's slender jade fingers rubbed Emperor Jianxi's shoulders and said coquettishly, "Father, why are you angry? According to me, this incident happened at an inappropriate time and hurt three parties by mistake. But I think that for all three parties, it is necessary to destroy them in order to build them up."

"Why do you say this?"

Emperor Jianxi's expression really improved, and his voice softened. He thought that his daughter was the best, being gentle and kind and not making him angry. Xi'er, that rascal, threw his old face on the ground and stepped on it like it was free...

"I have heard in the past that General Fang Dongfang is violent and violent, and he beats and scolds his wife and children at will, which is very humiliating. When this incident happened, Lord Fang rushed to the palace openly and beat Madam Fang without asking any questions. He also said that Madam Fang was promiscuous. Such a person, let alone if something happens, is not a good person even if nothing happens. Especially since he is a military general who will defend his country in the future. If he doesn't even love his wife and children, how can we expect him to love the people?"

Fang Dong wanted to refute, but when he looked up, he saw Emperor Jianxi, Zhao Ying, and Empress Xiaomin, all of whom had the same unapproachable looks and majesty, so he lowered his head in embarrassment.

He has no right to speak here...

Zhao Ying continued, "As his wife, Madam Fang has also suffered a lot. This time, Madam Fang lost her virginity to Prince Ding. No matter the reason, it happened. Prince Ding will definitely punish her severely, but instead of holding her accountable, it is better to make peace... I mean, we can take this opportunity to let Madam Fang and Fang Dong divorce."

"Since Prince Ding and Jia are already married, why not take this opportunity to take her into the palace? This will not only give Jia an identity, but also help her escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

Queen Xiaomin nodded, "Yes, this way, it can also show that Xi'er is tolerant and tolerant, but..."

Empress Xiaomin looked at Jia and said gently, "Jia, are you willing?"

Jia's eyes trembled, and she kowtowed hurriedly, "I don't expect to be able to serve in the palace with my humble body, but if I can get the grace of your majesty to cancel my marriage with Fang Dong, then..."

Fang Dong gritted his teeth and said, "No! I don't agree!"

Queen Hyomin sneered, "What does it have to do with you?"

Fang Dong said sternly but weakly, "Madam, Jia is my wife. She belongs to the Fang family in life and a ghost in death. How can she decide whether to stay or go?"

This sentence completely upset Empress Xiaomin. She stood up and shouted, "You also know that she is your wife. When you beat her, scolded her and humiliated her, why didn't you think that she was your wife? And you kept saying that she was from the Fang family. You should understand that she is the mistress of the Fang family, not your slave. She married you, not sold to you. She can do whatever she wants. It's none of your business!"

"She was raped and you didn't beat the rapist, but you beat her? What kind of person are you? Even pigs and dogs would spit on you when they see you!"

The three Zhao family members looked at the furious Queen Xiaomin. All their domineering aura, power as princes and authority as princesses disappeared and they became like three little lambs.

Especially Zhao Xi, who yelled, "Mother..."

Queen Hyomin then realized that the criminal was her own son. She lost her mind for a moment and actually allowed someone to beat her own son.

Fang Dong lowered his head in reluctance and fear.

Emperor Jianxi was about to speak and agree to Zhao Ying's proposal, but was interrupted by Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi said solemnly, "Father, Mother, I was wrongly accused. I absolutely did not violate Jia. If you do not believe me, you can ask a nanny to examine Jia's body, and then I will be cleared of all charges!"

Zhao Xi swore in a confident tone that he would not do anything to his own father, mother and sister. Could it be that he was really wronged? They all agreed to a physical examination.

Can this be false?

Zhao Xi thought about it and decided that he had definitely not touched Jia. He was not an inexperienced man, so he had no feelings. However, he was not very sure, as he was drunk after all. So he wanted to test Jia. If it was true or not, Jia had never been touched by him and there was no sign of sexual intercourse, so she would definitely not be willing to undergo a physical examination, which would prove his innocence.

Empress Xiaomin looked at Jia and said, "Jia, are you willing to go for a physical examination?"

Jia bowed deeply, "I... am willing to undergo a body test to prove my innocence!"

Zhao Xi: …

Queen Hyomin: My son, how come you are even more shameless than your mother...

Zhao Ying: All men are bastards, they won’t admit what they did!

Emperor Jianxi: It would be better to make Jia a concubine or a maid. It turns out Xi'er likes such a woman...

Half an hour later, Nanny Hua brought Jia out from the inner hall.

Jia knelt back down and Nanny Hua reported.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is indeed correct."

Zhao Xi closed his eyes, his brows twisted into a knot.

He really...really...
