The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists
Chapter 104: Reeds as Tough as Silk
Seeing Xiaoyanzi standing there in a daze, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Fifth Prince Yongqi, you knew the truth but didn't report it, deceiving your superiors and subordinates. You will be imprisoned. After returning to the palace, you will be confined to Yonghe Palace and not allowed to leave without the emperor's order."
Seeing that Yongqi was about to be suppressed, Xiaoyanzi no longer cared about the fainted Ziwei and hurriedly knelt down to plead for Yongqi.
"Father Emperor, there must be something else going on here. You can't just wrongly accuse Yongqi like this."
The emperor was now disappointed and sad about Yongqi. Hearing Xiaoyanzi's words, he looked at Yongqi.
"Tell me, is there any hidden reason? Why did you do this? Tell me everything."
Seeing that the emperor was still willing to give him a chance to explain, Yongqi kowtowed and explained, "Erkang was punished for offending Princess Qing before, and I was unwilling to accept this. I want to create an opportunity to make a meritorious contribution and regain your favor."
"He just made this desperate move out of a moment of confusion. Erkang would never dare to have any rebellious intentions towards you."
After hearing this, Xiaoyanzi finally understood the reason. She was angry that they had kept such a big thing from her, but at the same time, she had to help plead for mercy.
"Yes, Father Emperor, since this assassination attempt was fake, you shouldn't punish Erkang for the crime of assassination. Just give him a beating, or at least spare his life."
After hearing Xiaoyanzi's plea, Jingyan finally understood what it meant when people were speechless to the extreme and would actually laugh for no apparent reason.
The emperor naturally didn't buy it. In the final analysis, it was still an assassination for personal gain, and the nature was no different.
Xiaoyanzi is not a fool, on the contrary she is very smart. She pondered over Yongqi's words over and over again, and always felt that this explanation was very strange, combined with what Ziwei said before she fainted.
Xiaoyanzi suddenly realized that they were doing meritorious service in order to get a special pardon!
The emperor saw that Xiaoyanzi still didn't understand and sighed. Now he could conclude that Xiaoyanzi was unaware of it.
Looking at the fainted Ziwei again, the emperor's attitude was a bit complicated. He was not a ruthless emperor, but Ziwei's previous secret conversation with Falcon still made him feel uncomfortable.
"Forget it. Ziwei is still unconscious. Take her away for a thorough interrogation to see if there is any discrepancy between what they said."
Seeing Yongqi and Ziwei about to be taken away, Xiaoyanzi felt extremely sad.
Thinking about what he said on the day when Yongqi and I got engaged, the truth would soon be revealed, and what he said would give me a happy harbor.
So that's how it was, that's why they had this plan, just to get her and Ziwei back. Xiaoyanzi was both moved and sad, it turned out that Yongqi had secretly done so many things for her.
It's all because of her. If she hadn't pretended to be a princess, this series of events wouldn't have happened. Ziwei and Yongqi are both the emperor's biological children, how could they be treated like this!
Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi decided to tell everything, even if it meant losing her head.
Xiaoyanzi fell to her knees and grabbed the emperor's robe.
"Father Emperor, let me be frank. Actually, I am not your daughter. Ziwei is!"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present at a loss.
Jingyan was also a little scared. She was worthy of being the most impulsive little swallow in the country. She said it so fluently?
The emperor's face turned from dark to white and then back to dark again: "Xiaoyanzi, what nonsense are you talking about that I don't understand?"
"Father Emperor, I lied to you. I was just delivering a letter for her. Ziwei is the real princess. She is Xia Yuhe's daughter. Father Emperor, please acknowledge Ziwei as your daughter!"
"Everything Erkang and the others did today was to let you know Ziwei's true identity. In order for your biological daughter to recognize her father, you cannot chop off Erkang's head, nor can you confine Yongqi."
The emperor felt as if he was beginning to have trouble understanding what people were saying. How come he knew the meaning of every word, but couldn't understand them when they were put together?
"Little Swallow, do you know what you are saying?"
Xiaoyanzi had tears in her eyes. The Emperor was such a good man, the best person in the world to her. Unfortunately, from now on he would be Ziwei's Emperor.
Yongqi saw that Xiaoyanzi said everything in a moment of impulse and looked a little desperate. Now was really not a good time to confess.
But it seems there is no other way except to confess.
Ji Xiaolan and others were in tears. They wished they were deaf. After knowing such a big scandal in the royal family, would they still be able to return to the capital alive?
The same goes for Princess Huanzhu. Is this something that can be said in any occasion?
At this time, Ziwei slowly woke up after hearing Xiaoyanzi finally tell the truth.
"Why did I faint?"
Ziwei calmly broke free from the guards who were holding her and bowed slightly to the two of them, "Thank you both for your support."
Then Ziwei looked at everyone who was still in shock and asked, "Why did I faint just now? What happened?"
Xiaoyanzi immediately threw herself into Ziwei's arms and shouted, "Ziwei, I've told you the truth, go and find your father."
When Ziwei heard this, tears immediately welled up in her eyes and she slowly knelt down, with the perfect balance between cautiousness and expectation of fatherly love.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect Xiaoyanzi to reveal everything. My mother asked me to see you and ask if you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake."
"There's another saying that Little Swallow doesn't know: 'The reed is as tough as silk, and the rock is immovable.'"
Hearing what Ziwei said, the emperor simply couldn't believe it. He was so shocked that he was speechless. All of this was too absurd and completely beyond his imagination.
Looking at Ziwei in front of him, she seemed to overlap with Xia Yuhe of the past. The emperor suddenly felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand.
"Uncle Huang." Jing Yan quickly supported the man. She was extremely worried.
The emperor waved his hand. This day had given him too many shocks.
When he suddenly heard such news, in front of the juniors and ministers, he felt that his heart had stopped beating out of anger.
The emperor felt dizzy for a moment and fainted from anger.
"emperor!"
"Uncle Huang!"
"Quick! Doctor Hu!"
Fortunately, Jingyan was supporting the emperor, and Fu Lingan stepped forward to catch him in time, thus preventing the emperor from falling to the ground.
No one expected that the emperor would be so angry that he fainted. Everyone was in chaos. This incident was too much of a shock to the emperor.
Fu Ling'an carried the emperor onto the carriage, and Doctor Hu hurriedly followed with a small medicine box.
Fortunately, it was nothing serious. The emperor just fainted because of anger and liver qi stagnation.
"I can give Your Majesty acupuncture to relieve his depression. Your Majesty will wake up soon."
But this desolate wilderness was not suitable for the emperor to rest, so Fu Ling'an immediately decided to stay in Qijiang Town ahead.
The team set off in a hurry.
Xiaoyanzi didn't expect that her impulse to tell the truth would make the emperor faint from anger, and she was at a loss.
Ziwei comforted Xiaoyanzi, got into the carriage, and wanted to take care of the emperor.
"You've all made Uncle Huang faint from rage, and you still have the nerve to stand before him?"
Seeing that she dared to come closer, Jing Yan was furious and immediately pushed her out.
