The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists
Chapter 126: Hitting the Pillar
Xiaoyanzi was frightened by Concubine Ling and shrank back. Why did she always feel that Concubine Ling was not as gentle as before today?
The emperor nodded: "Concubine Ling, are you aware of this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I was unaware of this! I can swear that I simply said those words because I thought Xiaoyanzi looked a lot like you. I had no other motive."
"Forget it, Concubine Ling, please go back to your Yanxi Palace first. Don't come out until this matter is investigated and a decision is made."
Concubine Ling still wanted to plead for mercy, but thinking that the emperor was angry, she could only retreat obediently.
Seeing that Concubine Ling was under house arrest, Xiaoyanzi was a little scared and tremblingly said, "I, I mean, I was really afraid of being beheaded, so I didn't dare to tell the truth."
Seeing that Xiaoyanzi was about to make things worse, Ziwei interrupted her: "Your Majesty, please don't blame Xiaoyanzi. She didn't mean to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. She just wanted to help me out of kindness. I didn't expect that you would make her a princess without knowing it.
Later, everyone told her that deceiving the emperor would result in beheading. Xiaoyanzi lived in fear every day and naturally did not dare to tell the truth. We were also worried that telling the truth rashly would cause Xiaoyanzi's death, so we did not dare to tell it.
Although I really want to acknowledge you as my father, I can't let Xiaoyanzi die for the crime of deceiving the emperor. Besides, every time you mentioned my mother to me, I hinted at it. How come you didn't notice it? "
Ziwei's heartfelt words completely moved Xiaoyanzi. She felt that she was so bad that she took Ziwei's identity and now implicated Ziwei.
"Ziwei, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you would be a princess now. I'm so bad."
The emperor sneered: "Oh? If that's what you said, how dare you tell the truth now?"
Ziwei kowtowed deeply: "Xiaoyanzi told the truth that day to prevent anyone from being wrongly accused. What we did was just to let you know the truth and to save everyone's life. Even Erkang did all that to ask for a pardon for Xiaoyanzi, so that she would not be beheaded if the truth was revealed."
Ziwei looked at the emperor deeply, her eyes filled with endless attachment and longing.
"Now I have finally met the person my mother has been thinking about all her life, and asked her the question she has been thinking about all her life. Ziwei can even play chess with you and play my mother's music for you. I have no regrets. Ziwei's fate is at the discretion of the emperor. I only hope that you can spare the lives of the others. Ziwei is willing to die for them."
Hearing Ziwei say this, Xiaoyanzi couldn't hold back her tears any longer: "Father Emperor, I am really a fake princess. Ziwei is really your biological daughter. You can't disown your daughter. Any mistakes are my fault. Please acknowledge Ziwei."
The two hugged each other and cried, performing a scene of deep sisterly love.
The emperor sneered, "Royal Father? Didn't you say you were a fake princess? How dare you call me Royal Father? You are not allowed to call me Royal Father! As for Ziwei, if anyone comes and recites a poem and claims to be Xia Yuhe's daughter, do I have to accept them all?"
Xiaoyanzi was selectively deaf and only heard the second half of the sentence: "Father Emperor, Ziwei is really Xia Yuhe's daughter. Otherwise, how could she have physical evidence of Xia Yuhe? How could she know everything about Xia Yuhe?"
Ziwei was hurt by the emperor's words. She shook her head: "Your Majesty, you can deny me, but you cannot insult me and my mother..."
"Okay!" The emperor interrupted impatiently. He had made one mistake after another. He rashly recognized Xiaoyanzi based on a painting and a folding fan. It was a huge mistake, enough to make the whole world laugh at him.
Seeing the emperor's attitude, Ziwei was a little disappointed. She knew that the emperor was really angry now.
Ziwei didn't know what she was thinking about, but her eyes showed determination. She kowtowed deeply and looked at the emperor with stubborn eyes.
"Everything started because of Ziwei. It's my fault that my mother was insulted. I hope Ziwei's death can put an end to this farce and save Xiaoyanzi and Erkang's lives."
After saying that, Ziwei slammed hard into the pillar of the Yangxin Palace.
Ziwei moved too quickly, and Erkang, the only one who reacted, was unable to move because of the shackles on his body.
By the time everyone reacted, Ziwei had already fallen to the ground with blood all over her head.
The blood oozing from the wound on her forehead proved that she was really thinking about it and not just pretending.
"Send it to the doctor quickly!"
The Empress Dowager reacted the fastest and ordered Benjamin to go and invite Doctor Chang.
If Ziwei really died, the news would spread that the emperor forced his illegitimate daughter, who had come all the way to be recognized as his biological daughter, to death, and the emperor's reputation would be ruined.
Obviously, no one expected Ziwei to be so "strong-willed". Xiaoyanzi even screamed and threw herself beside Ziwei crying.
"Ziwei! I should be the one to die, Ziwei, wuwuwu, why are you so stupid? Isn't it good for us to go together on the road to the underworld? Why do you want to go alone first?"
Jinsuo suddenly pushed Xiaoyanzi away and hugged Ziwei: "It's all your fault! Wuwuwu my lady! If you hadn't taken our lady's identity, there wouldn't be so many problems. It's all your fault!"
Xiaoyanzi also knew that it was all her fault, so she slapped herself hard twice.
"It's all my fault, I deserve to die!"
Yongqi stepped forward and held Xiaoyanzi, "Xiaoyanzi, don't be like this. Ziwei would rather die than save your life. It shows how much she values you as a sister. Let Doctor Chang save her later. She will definitely not die."
Xiaoyanzi didn't care about anything at this time. She grabbed Yongqi's clothes and buried herself in his arms, crying bitterly.
Yongqi patted Xiaoyanzi gently and comforted her softly. In the chaotic hall, no one noticed that Concubine Yu's gaze on Yongqi changed from shock to anger.
The emperor obviously didn't expect Ziwei to die to show her determination. This shocked him deeply. For no reason, he thought of Ziwei standing in front of him.
Reason told him that Ziwei had her own reasons for doing all this, but for a woman who was willing to risk her life, was she doing this just to find her father? Wasn't the price she paid too high?
Looking at the emperor's uncertain eyes, the Empress Dowager sighed. Ziwei's move of cutting off the source of the problem completely controlled the emperor's heart.
Imperial Physician Chang rushed over, and the Queen ordered everyone to carry Ziwei into the side hall for emergency treatment.
Looking at the emperor who was still in a state of panic, the queen shook her head slightly. She had tried her best to stop it when Xiaoyanzi was named Princess Huanzhu before. It was so hasty and frivolous to confirm that Xiaoyanzi was his daughter just based on a token. But the emperor not only did not listen, but also had several arguments with her.
Now that she saw with her own eyes that the emperor was deceived by the daughter she had insisted on recognizing against all odds, the queen felt it was extremely ironic.
With things getting this bad, it’s still unclear how the emperor will handle this.
