No one understands the cause and effect of this farce better than Karl Lagerfeld.

In the final analysis, it was the emperor's fault for being so philandering. But if Ziwei was really a child of the royal family, he should have recognized her. As for the others, it was wrong anyway!

Especially Falcon, he definitely cannot be kept.

"Emperor, we need to send someone to investigate whether Ziwei is of royal blood. As for Fu Erkang, the Emperor has not yet made any decision, but do you still have doubts?"

The emperor nodded. He had originally wanted to deal with it all together today. Since Ziwei had caused such a commotion, he would deal with Falcon first.

Thinking of this, the emperor sat back on the dragon throne, looked at Fulun and said coldly: "Fulun, are you aware of Fuerkang's joint assassination with the Soul-seeking Sect? Are you involved?"

Hearing this, Fulun's heart tightened, and he knelt down tremblingly, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault for not raising my son well. This matter really seems to be an injustice."

The emperor looked sarcastic, "Oh? According to you, what injustice have you suffered?"

"Erkang has always been a good boy and would never do such a treasonous thing. Perhaps, someone has slandered him. I heard that it was my unworthy youngest son who reported Erkang. I wonder if he had any selfish motives."

Fulun seems to be talking about Erkang's injustice, but in fact, every word he says is that it was Ertai who framed Erkang for his own selfish reasons.

Ertai laughed sarcastically when he heard this. He had known that Ama would do this, hadn't he? He had already been disappointed, so he wouldn't be disappointed again.

Fortunately, Fu Heng was afraid of any accidents, so he went to the palace early in the morning to report the matter to the emperor. He was also worried that Fu Lun would complain at any time and that Ertai would be wrongly accused.

The emperor did not expect that Fulun would be so unable to distinguish right from wrong and so biased, and he could not help but feel disappointed.

"Fulun, I've never seen parents as partial as you. Aren't you afraid that Ertai will be upset by doing this in front of him? Do you think I'm a tyrant who can be fooled by a few random words?"

"There's no need to elaborate on Falcon's crimes. He committed every one of them himself. I saw it all, and no one forced him to do anything. But you, Fullen! I doubt your loyalty."

Hearing the emperor's anger, Fulun buried his head in the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't know about this. If I knew, I would definitely stop Erkang from making such a big mistake."

People are like this. He just used sweet words to say that Erkang was wronged, but once he was involved, he personally helped Erkang confess the crime.

Looking at Fulun kneeling on the ground and kowtowing frantically, the emperor was extremely disappointed. Once upon a time, Fulun was his most respected minister. Perhaps as people get older, their hearts become bigger, and it is time for him to give way to others.

"Fulun, considering your loyalty to the country for so many years, I will not kill you, but you are no longer worthy of being a Grand Secretary. You may retire now."

These words were like thunderbolts from the blue sky that exploded in Fulun's ears. He knelt down at the emperor's feet and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. My family has worked diligently for so many years and we have absolutely no intention of disloyalty!"

"As for Falcon, I have already ordered his death. Drag him away."

Fulun no longer cared about pleading for himself, and kowtowed desperately to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please spare Erkang's life. I am old and cannot bear to see the old send off the young. I only beg Your Majesty to spare Erkang's life."

Fulun kept knocking his head, and his forehead was already covered in blood.

Yongqi was moved by Fulun's deep love for his son and knelt down to plead, "Father Emperor, please at least spare Erkang's life so that Master Fu can live and see him to the end of his life."

"Yongqi, this is none of your business!" Concubine Yu stopped him sternly. He was already in a difficult situation, and he still had the leisure to plead for others. After Erkang was dealt with, it would be his turn. Didn't he know it?

"Your Majesty! As long as Erkang's life can be spared, even if it means exchanging my own life for Erkang's, Your Majesty, I am willing to sacrifice my own life for Erkang's. Please, Your Majesty, consider my many years of service and hard work, even if I have no merit, and spare Erkang's life."

The emperor remained unmoved, and Ziwei woke up at this time, and staggered back to the palace with the help of Xiaoyanzi.

Now when the emperor saw Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi, he felt a headache.

"Ziwei, you're too impulsive. Are you asking for death just because a few words don't suit your taste?"

The old lady hated people who threatened her the most in her life. Now Ziwei threatened to commit suicide, which really made the old lady upset.

"In response to Master Foye, Ziwei is speaking from the heart. All of this trouble was caused by Ziwei. If someone must die to resolve the situation, then Ziwei is willing to be the sacrifice. They did all this for Ziwei, and they really shouldn't be implicated."

"When Ziwei first arrived in the capital, it was the Fu family who gave her a place to stay. They also helped her get to her father. Ziwei cannot forget this kindness."

Looking at Ziwei's resolute look, it seemed as if if the emperor said no the next second, Ziwei would hit her head against the pillar again.

Xiaoyanzi took the opportunity to kowtow: "Father Emperor, Ziwei is such a sincere person. Think about the knife Ziwei blocked for you. The wound has not healed yet. If Erkang dies, Ziwei really can't live."

Ziwei smiled bitterly: "Xiaoyanzi, don't say that. I took the knife for my own father voluntarily. It was my instinct. I didn't do it to repay a favor. Even if the emperor doesn't recognize me, I am willing to do it."

Hearing this, Xiaoyanzi hugged Ziwei and cried, "Ziwei, why is your life so miserable? You can't recognize your father, and your lover is also executed by your biological father. If Xia Yuhe knew about this, she would not be able to rest in peace in her grave."

Ziwei hugged Xiaoyanzi back and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Xiaoyanzi. My mother is so lonely down there. It's just right that I can go and keep her company. I have no regrets. Don't feel sad for me, Xiaoyanzi."

The queen watched the duet between Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi, then looked at the emperor. Seeing his obviously wavering expression, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Their emperor was really very sentimental.

Just as the Empress was about to say something, the Emperor said, "Well, Fu Erkang's crime is unforgivable. Even if he is spared the death penalty, he will still be punished alive. In this case, I will punish him with 180 lashes of the cane as a warning to others."

One hundred and eighty lashes!

This is to beat Falcon to death.

Fu Lun couldn't help but burst into tears: "Your Majesty, after being beaten with a hundred and eighty sticks, how can I still be alive? Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."

Xiaoyanzi thought about the twenty spankings she had received and was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed.

One hundred and eighty strokes of the cane. Xiaoyanzi counted on her fingers and screamed, "Father Emperor! You are too cruel. If you want Erkang's life, just say so. This kind of beating is worse than beheading."

This is not a reduction in sentence, it is clearly torture.

The emperor snorted coldly: "If you bargain again, I'll give you another hundred lashes!"
