The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Yongqi stood up and saluted: "Father Emperor! But Ziwei has just been seriously injured, and the previous knife wound is also aggravated. The two girls have always been weak. How can they go to the clan residence? It is really not appropriate to toss them around."

Despite being injured on top of injured, and being physically weak, that didn't stop Ziwei from hitting the pillar with all her might. The emperor was furious when he saw Yongqi still had the mind to plead for others.

"Yongqi, you don't need to plead for them. You knew the truth but didn't report it, and you've deceived your superiors and subordinates. I'll have to deal with you later!"

Hearing that Yongqi was going to be dealt with, Ziwei kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, all those who knew about this matter chose to help us out of kindness. If kind people were to be punished, it would be too unjust."

The Empress Dowager didn't want to listen to Ziwei's misleading arguments and asked directly, "Ziwei, if you want to recognize your relationship, then go to the clan affairs office. Once your identity is verified, I and the Emperor will naturally recognize you. You are so unwilling, is there something fishy about your identity?"

After these words were spoken, he had to go to the clan mansion.

Ziwei knelt straight and said, "Ziwei is willing to go to the clan house. It's not to recognize my relatives, nor for the so-called status of a princess. It's because my mother's innocence cannot be insulted. My mother has waited for the emperor her whole life, and she must not be criticized and doubted by you because of this."

The emperor snorted coldly: "Your mother's reputation has also been affected by what you and Xiaoyanzi did!"

Ziwei's eyes were red, full of grievance and stubbornness. It was the emperor who was wrong. He recognized the wrong daughter. Why should he blame her and her mother?

The old lady didn't want to dwell on these trivial matters anymore, so she ordered the three people to be dragged away: "Go, find out what's going on."

"Father Emperor! Cut off my head, please! I don't want my head anymore. This is all my fault. I am vain and I couldn't resist the temptation. I lied to you. What did Ziwei do wrong? She just wanted to be recognized as her father."

Little Swallow broke free from the guards and crawled to the Emperor's feet, crying, trying to evoke his fatherly love: "You want to take us all to the Imperial Clan Court? Are you going to behead us all? Father Huang, how can you do this? Father Huang, please wake up."

"I've already said that you're not my daughter, and you're not allowed to call me Emperor Father! You've committed a heinous crime, and you've done something utterly wrong! It's too late to admit your mistake now. Drag me out!"

Xiaoyanzi would not give up. She tugged at the emperor's robe and shouted, "Father Emperor, Father Emperor, didn't you say 'Love not only your own relatives, but also your own children'? How can you go back on your word?"

"If I hear you call me the Emperor again, I'll cut off your tongue!"

Every word Xiaoyanzi said about "Your Majesty" was like a slap in the face, a sarcasm, reminding the emperor how ridiculous a thing he had done and how wrong he was. The dignified emperor was actually being played around by two common girls.

He never wanted to hear Xiaoyanzi call him Emperor Father again.

Jinsuo: "Your Majesty, I am a maid of the Xia family. Please let me die and spare these two. They have done nothing wrong. They are just vying to be your daughter."

Hearing that the few people were talking more and more biased, the emperor impatiently pushed Xiaoyanzi away.

"No one wants to chop off your heads. Don't try to be smart. No matter what the facts are, they will all be tried and investigated by the Imperial Clan Court."

Jinsuo: "Your Majesty, Ziwei has your poems and your paintings. Her body is filled with your blood. Do you want Xia Yuhe to cry non-stop while she is alive and cry non-stop even after she dies and goes to the underworld?"

Ziwei stood up with a smile and looked at Jinsuo and Xiaoyanzi.

"Xiaoyanzi, Jinsuo, please don't beg for mercy. Wouldn't it be better for us to keep each other company?"

"Your Majesty, your heart is so high and mighty, aren't you used to the most ordinary family affection in the world? Old Buddha, you are the same."

Ziwei said what she thought was the most hurtful sentence to the Emperor and Empress Dowager, but they didn't care.

Even the old lady had begun to suspect that Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi could not understand what she was saying.

"I've already said that if I can verify the facts, I will naturally recognize you. Why are you so reluctant?"

The emperor waved his hands impatiently, signaling that the man be dragged away quickly.

Yongqi wanted to say something but was stopped by Concubine Yu with a sharp look.

After Xiaoyanzi and the other two were dragged away, the Yangxin Palace became quiet again.

Everyone was silent, waiting for the emperor's next move.

"Benjamin, go back. I will tell your master about this and he will punish you."

As for Ertai, since his handling of the Erkang incident, his merits and demerits can be considered to be offset, and the emperor will not be too harsh on him.

Benjamin and Ertai thanked him and stepped aside.

It was just Yongqi. When it was Yongqi's turn, the emperor was silent.

The emperor was actually very disappointed with Yongqi's performance.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Yu immediately said, "Your Majesty, whether Yongqi was deceived or did these things voluntarily, he is wrong and should be punished. In my opinion, it would be better to punish him with fifty lashes to teach him a lesson and stop getting involved in everything."

Hearing the words "fifty lashes", Yongqi looked at Concubine Yu in shock. Is this still his biological mother?

Yongqi was unconvinced and wanted to stand up to refute, but was suddenly pulled behind by Concubine Yu.

If the emperor is not allowed to vent his anger today, he will always remember Yongqi's disobedience, which is not a good thing for Yongqi. It is better for him to just accept the beating and let the emperor vent his anger.

But Yongqi didn't understand his mother's good intentions and felt very dissatisfied.

Seeing that Concubine Yu herself proposed to lash Yongqi with fifty lashes, the emperor raised his eyebrows. Seeing that neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress expressed any objection, he nodded slightly.

"In that case, let's execute you. Yongqi, you must learn this lesson and never do it again."

"Thank you, my son, for your kindness."

With this, the matter can come to an end.

After sitting for so long, the old lady's bones are stiff. It's all because of the sin committed by her son.

"Emperor, you should quickly send someone to investigate Jinan. If Ziwei is truly a princess, then you should recognize her as such. As for Xiaoyanzi, she is, after all, just a commoner who knows nothing. Just drive her away."

The emperor nodded and personally sent the Empress Dowager back to the Cining Palace.

When the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace again, he was a little surprised to see Ertai still kneeling.

"Ertai, why are you still here? I said I won't punish you, go back."

Ertai kowtowed, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, Ertai has two matters that I would like to ask Your Majesty to decide."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked what was going on.

"Please allow me to resign from the position of Fifth Prince's tutor. We are of different ideals and cannot work together. Besides, we are all grown up and no longer need tutors."

This is indeed the case, and the emperor agreed.

Ertai continued, "Although asking the Emperor for help at this time may seem like an attempt to sever ties, you have seen the situation of the Fu family. Their parents are unkind and their brothers do not love them. Therefore, please allow Ertai to sever ties with the Fu family."

After saying this, Ertai lowered his head nervously. Although he had wanted to sever ties with his father for a long time, Fulun had not been dismissed at that time and the Fu family had not yet suffered any disaster.

Now that Fulun has been dismissed and Fulkan's life and death are uncertain, if he asks to sever ties, he will inevitably be criticized for seeking profit and avoiding harm.

But he didn't regret it. He had had enough of that home.
