The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Xiaoyanzi was not convinced: "Father Emperor, I lied to you. I am not your daughter. If you want to punish someone, just punish me. Why punish Ziwei? Why don't you acknowledge Ziwei? She has done nothing wrong. She just wants to be recognized as her father. And Fu Erkang, he did that for all of us. Why can't you let him go?"

Hearing that Xiaoyanzi was still stubborn, the emperor nodded repeatedly: "Well done! Do you think you are particularly righteous and heroic? Do you want to behead them? Then I will simply grant your wish!"

Hearing that the emperor's words didn't seem like a joke, Xiaoyanzi was a little flustered for a moment, but she still stiffened her neck and changed the subject to argue: "Father Emperor, don't you want to recognize Ziwei at all!"

Of course he didn't want to acknowledge her. This was just Xia Yuhe's daughter, and it had caused him so much trouble.

When Xiaoyanzi first entered the palace, the surprise he felt when he learned that Xia Yuhe had given birth to a daughter for him had long since disappeared in the troubles he encountered, and now all that was left was a deep annoyance.

"Xiaoyanzi, I don't have time to talk to you about this. If you are not Xia Yuhe's daughter, why did you pretend to be her?"

"What do you mean I'm pretending to be someone else? Didn't you insist on me calling you Emperor Father? I was so wounded I was completely bewildered and didn't know anything. By the time I realized what was happening, I was already Princess Huan Zhu. No one even asked me if I wanted to be Princess Huan Zhu, and they just trapped me in this cage!"

The emperor was once again irritated by Xiaoyanzi's unreasonable arguments. "You said I trapped you in this cage, but you couldn't let go of the wealth of the palace, the dignity of being a princess, and so you pretended to be a princess. Now you're turning the tables and blaming me?"

"Father Emperor, why were you so willing to acknowledge me back then? Why are you unwilling to acknowledge Ziwei now? Ziwei is better and kinder than me. You should like her more! Father Emperor, have you forgotten that you said you would be a loving father?"

Xiaoyanzi thought that her words were from the bottom of her heart and every word was for Ziwei to recognize her relatives, but she didn't know that these words sounded extremely ironic to Ziwei.

How come a fake one could become a princess so easily and get all the favors from the noble man in front of her, while she, the real emperor's daughter, could hardly even recognize her father!

Ziwei stood up and knelt, looking at the emperor pitifully: "Your Majesty, do you really not care about my mother? My mother has waited for a lifetime, hated a lifetime, thought about a lifetime, resented a lifetime, but also loved a lifetime. She has lived her whole life just to wait for you!"

Ziwei had hinted this to the emperor before, but the emperor was so angry now that he naturally couldn't remember anything.

"I originally wanted to wait until the Mongolian prince left before dealing with you. Now that you are so eager to seek an explanation, let us have a proper discussion."

Hearing the emperor say this, Ziwei's heart skipped a beat. Why was the development of the situation not what she expected?

"Go and invite the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and others." The emperor stood up and ordered the guards to carry Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei and walk towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Xiaoyanzi, you'd better think carefully about this. Do you have any 'witnesses'? Tell us clearly who knows about this."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyanzi sold out all the members of the Fu family, including Yongqi and Benjamin, without any hesitation.

When the emperor heard that there were quite a few people, all of whom were close to Xiaoyanzi, he called them all together to settle accounts.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Emperor, Empress and Empress Dowager Cixi held a joint trial.

All those who were related to the matter and knew about it were summoned, even Falcon who was thrown into death row was brought in.

But he was wearing prison clothes and shackles, and his miserable appearance was in stark contrast to his previous state.

Ziwei finally saw her Erkang, but she didn't expect him to be in such a situation. Feeling wronged and distressed for Erkang, Ziwei couldn't help crying any longer and rushed to him.

"Erkang, how did you become like this? Did they torture you? Erkang, I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

Fu Erkang originally thought that his father, Ziwei and others had called him here to plead for his release. However, after hearing Ziwei's words, Erkang realized that something was wrong.

"Ziwei, what happened?"

The emperor interrupted their conversation with a hint of disgust and ordered his men to pull them apart.

Seeing the emperor's attitude, Concubine Yu was a little nervous. Yongqi had not been able to tell her why he was under house arrest these days, but the emperor suddenly summoned her today. It must be related to the death row prisoner Erkang and the daring Princess Huanzhu.

Fulun also came. When he saw Ertai, he snorted coldly and made up his mind to help Erkang clear his grievances today.

Seeing that everyone was present, the emperor spoke, "Alright, Xiaoyanzi, tell the truth. How did you sneak into the enclosure and confuse the royal bloodline?"

When these words came out, everyone in the palace was shocked. Didn't the emperor say that he would wait until the Mongolian prince left and find out the truth of the matter before making any decision? Why was he going to deal with it so early?

Fu Lun was even more shocked. He had never expected that the emperor had already known about this matter. No wonder the emperor had never seen him since he came back. He originally thought it was because of Erkang, but now it seems that the emperor knew that the Fu family had deceived him.

Fulun was somewhat desperate. Now all his hopes could only be placed on Ziwei. He didn't know whether she could successfully regain the emperor's fatherly love and care.

Just as Xiaoyanzi was about to explain the whole story, Ziwei spoke first, "After my mother passed away, I listened to her and sold my house in Jinan to come to the capital to look for my relatives. But I couldn't enter the palace at all, and I couldn't see you. Later, after repeated setbacks, I met Xiaoyanzi.

It was Xiaoyanzi who said she could lead me over to the enclosure to see you, but the mountain was too high for me to climb, so Xiaoyanzi helped me bring the token to you. But then Xiaoyanzi disappeared, and the next time I heard from her, it was that she had become a princess.

This was true. Xiaoyanzi quickly explained that she was innocent in this matter.

"At that time, I was shot by the Fifth Prince. When I woke up, I was dazed and you wanted me to call you Emperor Father. By the time I realized it, I was already a princess. Concubine Ling said that if I was a fake princess, I would be beheaded. I was afraid of being beheaded, so I didn't dare to say it."

Concubine Ling, who had nothing to do originally, asked: "?"

"Princess, please speak clearly. This could easily be misunderstood. I have never said such a thing. Besides, impersonating a princess is punishable by beheading."

The emperor looked at Concubine Ling with a sharp gaze, then swept over Fu Lun. He now suspected that the Fu family was deliberately intimidating Xiao Yanzi.

Concubine Ling felt a little aggrieved. She just saw that the emperor liked it and wanted to make him happy. How could she know whether it was true or not?

By the time she found out the truth, it was too late. It was all her sister and brother-in-law's fault for being so bold.
