The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

The oppressive atmosphere in the hall eased slightly with the emperor's long sigh. His eyes were heavy and seemed to reveal a trace of fatigue. He looked around at everyone and finally spoke slowly in a low but unquestionable voice:

"The princess has always been very proud of herself. She probably doesn't want too many people to know what happened today. What I mean is -"

He paused, looking at everyone, "Everyone shut up."

The words were plain but powerful. The expressions of everyone in the hall instantly tensed and they all lowered their heads, fearing that the emperor's gaze would linger for a moment.

Shen Runing also bowed slightly, his eyes calm, as if he was obedient.

However, she increasingly felt that things were much more complicated than that.

On the other side, Wei Yunduan sat in the corner, as if she had nothing to do with all this chaos. She lowered her brows, gently fiddling with a strand of drooping hair with her fingertips, and looked at everything in the hall indifferently.

However, Hao Hengshan's eyes frequently met with Concubine Yan's, and Wei Yun could no longer remain indifferent.

How can a man do this?

Wei Yun took a deep breath and suppressed the trembling in her heart. She was the person least qualified to express her emotions. Her mood and anxiety were meaningless to him.

Hao Hengshan suddenly turned his head and glanced at Wei Yun, seemingly casually, but it made Wei Yun's heart tighten in an instant. There was no deep meaning in his eyes, just a brief gaze, as if giving alms.

But...what's the use?

Wei Yun looked up at him, the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing an impeccable smile, which seemed like a response, but also like a mockery.

At this time, the emperor raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to leave, obviously preparing to end the event. Everyone stood up, bowed and left, and the sound of sleeves fluttering began to be heard in the hall.

At this moment, Wei Yun suddenly stood up, her skirt fluttering, her movements dignified and steady.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Her voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear at this moment, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

The emperor frowned, turned his gaze to Wei Yun, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

There was total silence in the hall, as if even the air had frozen.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wei Yun at this moment. This eldest lady of the Hao family was usually unknown and low-key, but at this moment she suddenly spoke in the court, which was really surprising.

Hao Hengshan's brows frowned slightly, obviously not expecting her to speak. A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, and his gaze stayed on Wei Yun's back, but in the end he didn't say much.

Shen Runing stood not far away, her face still calm, even her eyelashes did not tremble, but if someone looked closely at her eyes, they would find a hint of smile in those calm eyes, as if she was waiting for the next good show.

Du Wenyun stood aside and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "The eldest lady of the Hao family is usually like a transparent person. What is she going to do today?"

Shen Runing raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Who knows!"

Wei Yun walked to the center of the hall with steady steps. Her dress dragged gently on the ground with her movements, making her look exceptionally dignified and calm. She raised her head and looked directly at the emperor sitting on the high throne. At that moment, she seemed to completely ignore the gazes from all around.

"Your Majesty," she knelt slightly and saluted, her voice calm and without any trembling, "I am speaking to you today because of an important matter."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

"What's the big deal?"

"Is there anything important happening in General Hao's family?"

"Don't mention it. If you look closely, the eldest lady of the Hao family is really good-looking. How come I never noticed her before?"

There were whispers in the hall, and everyone was curious about Wei Yun's words.

Shen Runing lowered his eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened, as if he had already guessed what kind of bloody storm would follow.

Wei Yun was still standing in the center of the hall, his eyes calm, and his whole body exuded a kind of firmness that was completely different from usual, as if he had made an extremely huge decision.

"Hao Chuan," she said in a steady but clear voice, "is not Hao Hengshan's biological child."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"what?!"

"What does it mean?!"

……

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was like an explosion. There was a continuous stream of discussions, but people did not dare to be too presumptuous. They all lowered their voices, but could not hide their excitement and shock.

Ji Yun and Du Wenyun looked at each other, their eyes widened, and they looked at Wei Yun in disbelief.

"Are the rumors true?" Ji Yun asked softly, as if talking to himself.

Du Wenyun gritted his teeth nervously: "What on earth is Madam Hao going to do?!"

Hao Hengshan's face had already turned pale. He stood up suddenly and shouted angrily: "Wei Yun! What nonsense are you talking about! Do you know what you are talking about?!"

Concubine Yan's hands were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force. A hint of hidden murderous intent flashed in her eyes. She almost wanted to speak, but she held herself back, staring at Wei Yun with complicated eyes.

The emperor on the high throne calmly put the grape in his hand into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, and slowly said: "What do you mean by this?"

His voice was calm, but it seemed to reveal endless pressure, which instantly dropped the temperature in the hall.

Wei Yun cleared his throat.

"Hao Chuan is the child of me and the groom of the Hao Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar!

"Are you crazy? The eldest lady of the Hao family actually admitted such a thing!"

"Oh my god, she dared to say that in the court. She is really asking for her life!"

"Hao Hengshan is probably in trouble this time..."

Wei Yun ignored these surprised looks. She slowly turned her head and looked at Hao Hengshan, whose face was ashen. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of the pleasure of revenge.

"Hao Hengshan." She looked him straight in the eyes, her tone revealing a hint of mockery, "Do you still remember our wedding night? That night, you personally sent a groom to my bed."

The hall suddenly became dead silent.

Hao Hengshan took a step forward and pointed at Wei Yun, his voice trembling slightly with anger: "You are talking nonsense! Wei Yun, are you crazy? How dare you say such words!"

However, Wei Yun was not afraid at all. She straightened her back and looked coldly at the man in front of her, as if she wanted to vent all the anger and unwillingness that had been suppressed for many years.

"Crazy?" She smiled lightly, but there was deep irony in her smile, "Hao Hengshan, do you think I'm crazy? No, you're the crazy one! You did this to dispel His Majesty's doubts!"

"That's why you married me!"

"Why me?"

"This life has been ruined by you after all."

Her voice gradually became louder, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Hao Hengshan's face was extremely embarrassed. He was about to refute, but was interrupted by the emperor's cold shout: "Shut up!"

The emperor's majestic voice made the hall quiet again. He looked deep and coldly at Wei Yun and Hao Hengshan.

At this moment, Concubine Yan couldn't help but speak.
