It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Xie Wan Ning thought she was saved and looked for Lu Huaiyang.

But when he saw the maid, his heart skipped a beat and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

The maidservant, however, looked righteous and stood beside Madam Xie.

As if he felt Xie Wan Ning's gaze, he glanced at her coldly without meeting her gaze.

Xie Wan Ning then realized something and looked at Lu Huaiyang again.

Lu Huaiyang also stood aside with a cold expression, not even giving Xie Wanning a glance.

Even though Xie Wan Ning's mind wasn't as clear as before due to the drugs, her expression changed drastically at this moment.

I vaguely realized that I might have been cheated!

Xie Wan Ning staggered a step, looking at them with even more anxiety, completely at a loss as to what to do.

I just kept asking myself in my heart, what should I do? What should I do?

She... was used by Lu Huaiyang?

"Take the thing out of Miss Xie's mouth!" the emperor ordered.

Eunuch Su waved his hand, and Concubine Li's palace maids and eunuchs were pushed aside. Someone immediately went to take the thing out of Xie Wan Ning's mouth.

As soon as Xie Wanning's mouth was released, she vomited a mouthful of blood.

I don’t know if he was beaten or angry.

Xie Wan Ning wiped her mouth with her sleeve and looked at the maid: "Ting Zhu, you...you betrayed me?"

The maidservant named Tingzhu bowed to Xie Wanning and said righteously, "Miss, you are joking. I am a member of the Xie family and I am loyal to the Xie family. If you do something that damages the interests and reputation of the Xie family, I will naturally consider the Xie family's interests!"

"well!"

Xie Wanning sneered and looked at Madam Xie: "Mother is so wary of me, she should have realized that you have bribed everyone around me."

Madam Xie looked at Xie Wanning, feeling heartbroken and disappointed: "I didn't expect that after raising you for so many years, you actually... you actually..."

Mrs. Xie was so sad that she seemed unable to continue speaking. She was shaky and seemed about to fall down at any time.

"Come here, give Madam Xie and Dean Xie a seat!" the emperor said hurriedly.

The servant helped Mrs. Xie and soon brought a chair.

Xie Wanning looked at Lu Huaiyang again and asked, "Your Highness, so... everything you just said to me was to get me to steal this account book?"

After saying that, she bit her lips tightly, still with hope in her eyes, and looked at Lu Huaiyang unwillingly.

It seemed like she was waiting for Lu Huaiyang to give her an answer.

Lu Huaiyang glanced at Xie Wanning with a cold gaze and said, "Someone wants to confuse the royal bloodline. You are involved in it. I am just investigating the case."

"What's going on?" The emperor looked at Concubine Li and said, "I've already seen your account book. Concubine Li, you're so brave!"

Concubine Li quickly shook her head and denied: "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. They are wrongly accusing me. That handwriting was not written by me, and I don't know the people in it."

"They have joined forces to frame me and my son. Your Majesty, please be clear-headed..."

Concubine Xie said coldly, "Sister Li, how do you know what's written in it? How do you know it mentions someone?"

"I..." Concubine Li paused, her face paler. "Your Majesty, I am innocent! If I were guilty, why would I stay in my own palace? They are framing me!"

The emperor looked at her coldly: "Okay, I will find out!"

Lu Huaiyang threw off his robe, knelt down before the emperor, and said with his hands clasped together, "Father, I am guilty!"

Hearing that he had actually confessed directly, the emperor frowned and asked, "What crime have you committed?"

Lu Huaiyang bowed again to the emperor and said, "Father, I have been secretly investigating this matter and have only found some clues today. I did not report this to you before. Please forgive me!"

The emperor said sullenly, "Tell me one by one!"

Lu Huaiyang waved his hand, and immediately his guards came forward and presented the things one by one.

"This is the handwriting of Concubine Li, which was written with her left hand. Father can compare it."

Lu Huaiyang said: "This matter has to start from when Madam Xie was pregnant..."

Lu Huaiyang did not hide anything and told the emperor the whole story.

The only thing hidden in the story was that the Xie family had already known the truth and had Xie Wan Ning imprisoned and drugged.

Everything else that needs to be said has been said.

Lu Huaiyang and the Xie family had already found the evidence of Concubine Li's own crimes, the people who followed Concubine Li at the time, and some pregnant women and children who were with Guan.

All the evidence is there!

The emperor's face was extremely ugly. This time, it concerned Concubine Xie, who also had tears in her eyes as she thought of her unborn child.

After the emperor finished listening, looking at the evidence and meeting the witnesses, it was almost midnight.

The emperor's face was gloomy. "Princess Xian...is she the daughter of the Xie family?"

I never thought that the emperor would ask this question!

Concubine Li was already frightened out of her wits, but when she heard the emperor's question, she seemed to have suddenly found a glimmer of hope.

She hurriedly crawled to the emperor's side and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, they knew it a long time ago. This is a deliberate trap set up for me to deceive you, Your Majesty!"

Before Concubine Li finished her words, Concubine Xie glanced at her: "What else? Should I tell you early on, just like you framed my child back then and harmed Nan Yan? She has suffered for many years away from home. It is God's will that she should return to the Xie family. Naturally, I can't tell you too early and let you people kill her!"

After Concubine Xie finished speaking, she stood up and knelt solemnly before the Emperor: "Your Majesty, the Concubine of the Virtuous Prince has been destined to become a Phoenix Queen since she was a child. Now, by some strange coincidence, she has married the Virtuous Prince and returned to the palace. I believe... this is God's will!"

As he spoke, everyone knelt down together!

Concubine Li trembled, looked at Concubine Xie in disbelief, then looked at the emperor, and fell to the ground weakly!

It's too late, it's too late!

Could it be...that this is really God's will?

That girl from back then actually came back alive, and turned out to be Lu Huaiyang's princess...

"Wrong, wrong, all wrong... Impossible, impossible..."

Concubine Li denied it repeatedly and couldn't believe it.

The emperor thought for a long time and didn't know how to answer.

Everyone knelt on the ground waiting for the emperor's reaction.

After a long while, the emperor finally sighed and said, "Everyone, get up. This matter... must not be spread outside."

Everyone looked up and looked at the emperor.

The emperor's expression had turned serious, and he said to Lu Huaiyang, "I have high hopes for you, but... this matter is not yet public."

"You still need to accumulate prestige!"

The emperor's words couldn't be more obvious.

Everyone was delighted, except Concubine Li and Xie Wan Ning, one of them went crazy, and the other seemed to have lost all strength and means.

"I will definitely live up to your father's high expectations!" Lu Huaiyang was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed deeply to the emperor.

The emperor ordered, "Bring Concubine Li for interrogation. I will handle the matter personally! The rest of the people involved will be punished according to the law!"
