forgive?

The emperor was so angry that he was gasping for breath. They were so bold and arrogant, and they had the nerve to flatter him and ask for forgiveness?

Although Huanbi did not seem to have any rebellious intentions, the actions of the Zhen family father and daughter clearly showed their audacity.

The Zhen family members even dare to do such a dangerous thing. If he doesn't punish them, they will only become more daring in the future!

The emperor wanted to order people to drag Huanbi, the guilty minister, out and beat her to death. But before he could open his mouth, he saw Huanbi's face, which was three-quarters similar to Chunyuan.

Recalling the days and nights of love and affection he had with Huanbi recently, the emperor finally softened his heart: "Noble Lady Bi will be demoted to a concubine and moved to Jiaolu Pavilion. From now on, she will not be allowed to leave without Zhao. Zhen Yuandao and his wife will be detained in the old house of the Zhen family and the guards will be sent to guard them."

Very good, this annoying Country Garden finally exposed itself. Concubine Zhen took advantage of the situation and determined that Zhen Huan was too audacious to be true and that if she could lie once, she would be able to lie a second time. She said with certainty that Zhen Huan had an affair with an outsider and asked the Emperor to punish her severely.

The queen pretended to be a good person and pleaded: "Your Majesty, please consider that Concubine Wan is the mother of the Seventh Prince, and please be lenient with her."

Concubine Zhen was unyielding: "Concubine Wan returned home with a child outside the palace, and Liu Zhu was the only one with her at the time. In my opinion, only severe torture can yield results."

Zhen Huan first glared at Concubine Zhen, then she softened her attitude towards the Emperor: "Your Majesty, there must be many injustices under severe punishment. How can you abuse severe punishment to get evidence?"

Zhen Huan pleaded for mercy, but Concubine Zhen was not soft-hearted at all: "Your Majesty, Empress, the only solution now is to severely torture Liu Zhu. Otherwise, we can only wrong Concubine Wan and Imperial Physician Wei. People are cheap skin and cheap flesh, how can they confess without torture? If he can really endure all 72 punishments of the Ministry of Punishment and still not change his words, then it will be somewhat believable."

Xiao Xiazi, who was standing behind the emperor, couldn't help but jump her eyelids when she heard Zhenpin mention the seventy-two punishments.

He quickly pleaded with the emperor: "If he really has to endure all 72 punishments from the Ministry of Punishment, he will be crippled if not dead. What's the point of clearing his name?"

Xiao Xiazi pleaded for Liu Zhu under tremendous pressure, but Liu Zhu did not appreciate it. She knelt down and asked to be punished to prove Wan Fei's innocence.

Zhen Huan wanted to help Liu Zhu up, but Fang Chunyi stopped her: "Sister, Chun'er knows that you can't bear to let Liu Zhu go. But if Miss Liu Zhu doesn't go to the Ministry of Punishment, I'm afraid you will be in trouble. Even if you feel bad, please bear with it."

Zhen Huan turned to glare at Fang Chunyi, but Fang Chunyi blinked her big eyes and looked innocent, looking at her without any guilt.

Xiao Xiazi wanted to take the opportunity to persuade the emperor to pardon Liu Zhu's punishment, but Shen Beile rushed in at this moment.

"Please forgive me, my brother. I went to the palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, but all the palaces and courtyards were quiet. Only the Empress Dowager's was bustling. I wanted to come over to see what was going on, but I heard all this. As a relative of the royal family, I am willing to guarantee Concubine Wan and the prince and princess. Since entering the palace, Concubine Wan has done everything by herself and has been diligent and cautious, so I am willing to trust Concubine Wan's character."

Concubine Zhen was unhappy: "Shen Beile is arrogant and never likes to interact with the concubines in the harem. How come he can say so many good things about Concubine Wan today? He did it himself? It's as if the prince saw it with his own eyes."

Prince Shen said to Concubine Zhen: "I don't need to see Concubine Wan do all the hard work myself. Just look at her slender figure and you can tell she works hard. Concubine Zhen, on the other hand, has a round face and a beautiful figure, which shows that she is a person who enjoys a peaceful life."

"you--"

"Beile Shen is so insolent! How can he comment on the concubines in the palace? No matter what faults Zhenpin has, she is still the emperor's concubine, and he cannot allow others to look down on her! Where does Beile Shen put the dignity of the royal family and the emperor's face by confronting his woman in front of the emperor?" Zhenpin was speechless. Seeing that the emperor was about to bully Zhenpin, Nian Shilan took the initiative.

The Queen was secretly pleased that Nian Shilan was so powerful. She was probably the only one present who dared to say such a thing so openly. After hearing what Nian Shilan said, the Emperor also became dissatisfied with Shen Beile.

Before Shen Beile could apologize, Concubine Hua continued, "Shen Beile said that he was guaranteeing Concubine Wan. It is too ridiculous to judge a person's character based on his stature. If the court also selected officials according to Shen Beile's standards, wouldn't it be laughable? Do you know Concubine Wan's character and qualifications well? What can you use as a guarantee?

Besides, it was just revealed that Concubine Wan had brought a criminal into the palace without regard for the emperor's safety. Did Shen Beile know about this? If he didn't know, you didn't know anything about the situation but you meddled in your brother's family affairs. Aren't you too disrespectful to the emperor? If he knew, you ignored the emperor's safety and insisted on guaranteeing Concubine Wan. What was your intention?"

Nian Shilan's words were simply crazy! Not only was Shen Beile frightened to his knees and plead guilty, but the emperor felt that his Shilan was back, dreaming back to when Shilan first entered the palace!

Woohoo, it turns out that Shilan still loves me as much as ever, and can’t stand anyone being disrespectful to me!

The emperor reprimanded Shen Beile a few words and let him get up, but it was obvious that Shen Beile was still frightened by Nian Shilan's words. He just wanted to curry favor with Yu Rao and really didn't want to risk his life!

Shen Beile stood up again and stepped aside to cosplay as a mute. It was easy to enter the Shura Field but difficult to leave. He swore that he would try to reduce his presence next time.

The Queen took over the conversation again, in order to ease the atmosphere in the room and to hammer Zhen Huan to death: "...it is safer to use a blood test."

Of course, Zhen Huan didn't want to do the blood test, and she argued with the Queen for a while, but with Huanbi's incident as a prelude, the Emperor really didn't trust her anymore. He ordered Jianqiu: "Go get a bowl of clean water."

If the Queen's people did it, then the blood of Hongzhou and Wei Lin must have mixed.

The Emperor was furious when he saw this, and the Empress immediately wanted to kill Zhen Huan: "How dare you, Zhen Huan! Why don't you kneel down? Come, strip her of her concubine's clothes and banish her to the cold palace! Throw her in with this evil creature! Wei Lin will beat her to death immediately!"

Zhen Huan: "Who dares?"

Zhen Huan’s family knows her own affairs. Doesn’t she herself know who the father of her twins is?

There must be something weird in this water!

Putting the emperor’s anger aside for now, Zhen Huan used a silver needle to pierce Xiao Xiazi and Liu Zhu’s hands, and their blood really mixed!

The emperor came to see it and his anger turned to joy: "How can a eunuch have a child? Hahaha!"

Wei Lin immediately knelt down to check the bowl of water used for blood test. After checking the water, he told the emperor that alum was added to the water, so anyone's blood could be mixed in it.

The truth was revealed, and Xiao Xiazi went personally to change another bowl of water. This time, Wei Lin and the Sixth Prince's blood finally did not mix together.

"From now on, my identity is clear." Zhen Huan cried to the emperor. Her suspicion was cleared, and it was time to settle accounts with the queen and those who gave false testimony.

Concubine Zhen knelt on the ground and tried to make a final struggle. She thought that the emperor would soon sentence her to death.

Who would have thought that before she could wait for the verdict from the superior, a strong wind blew by her side, and then she heard the man who suddenly knelt beside her say in a loud voice: "Royal brother, all this is my fault. That day in Ganlu Temple, Concubine Wan refused to obey, and I threatened her to be with me by using her parents and relatives! No matter how wrong it is, it is my fault. Concubine Wan was forced, please don't punish her!"
