The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

"You...what do you mean?!" Zhao Yucheng's heart suddenly twitched, and a fear deeper than facing accusations quietly gripped him.

No children?

How is this possible! This is ridiculous!

Li'er is his biological child, but Li'er's life experience is currently his biggest secret, and he is not in a position to tell it out.

But why did this old man mention offspring at this moment? Was he going to lie again?

"That's naturally because your daughter is a hen that doesn't lay eggs!" Zhao Yucheng was furious and glared at Lin Shiyi fiercely.

Lin Hua sneered when he heard this, with a biting sarcasm in his voice:

"Even if it's true that my daughter Yi'er is infertile, is she the only woman in the prince's huge palace?

Are the other concubines also unable to give birth to children?"

"You..." Zhao Yucheng was furious and argued, "That's because they are all just good-looking people! Each and every one of them is useless!"

Lin Hua did not answer directly, but slowly swept his cloudy but sharp eyes across the audience.

Finally, his gaze fixed on the face of Empress Dowager Luo Lan. His voice was hoarse but every word was clear.

"Empress Dowager, my Lords, Prince Yu just said that it was the Princess who was infertile and the concubines in the palace who were useless.

Then I dare to ask Your Majesty - how can you prove that you are fertile?"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked!

Even the emperor and the empress dowager on the high throne were shocked.

Is Lin Hua crazy?

How dare you question the extremely honorable prince in such a tone!

Even His Majesty would not question in this tone. No matter how anxious the Queen Mother was, she would only plan in secret and never confront him in person.

"You're looking for death!" The veins on Zhao Yucheng's forehead bulged, and before he finished speaking, he slapped Lin Hua with his palm.

Zhao Haoxuan, who was disguised as a guard, heard the news and moved, flashing in front of Lin Hua and colliding with Zhao Yucheng's palm power.

——With just a muffled sound, Zhao Yucheng was shocked and took several steps back.

He looked at Zhao Haoxuan with horror in his eyes: "Who are you?"

He never thought that there would be someone in the court who could rival him.

Zhao Haoxuan didn't respond directly, but said solemnly, "In the court, in front of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, how could Your Highness openly kill someone?"

"Your Highness, what Lord Lin said makes sense. Your childlessness is a well-known fact to everyone in the court and the country. Is it still unacceptable for anyone to speak out?

"There are tens of millions of Daxia people. Your Majesty, are you going to kill them all one by one?" Wang Xinyao added at the right moment, her tone tinged with sarcasm.

Zhao Yucheng's anger was ignited again, and he blurted out in a hurry: "Who said that I didn't..."

Suddenly, he seemed to wake up suddenly and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Your Highness, are you trying to say that the Third Prince is actually your son?"

Lin Hua's voice was as cold as ice, and it suddenly rang out in the court. Every word was like a sharp blade, piercing Zhao Yucheng's heart.

Zhao Yucheng's whole body trembled, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant.

He widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at Lin Hua who was standing in the center of the hall.

He could never have imagined that this prisoner who had been imprisoned for many years would dare to reveal this secret that was enough to overthrow the government in public.

There was an uproar in the court.

Civil and military officials looked at each other in bewilderment, whispers surged like a tide, and everyone's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Nonsense! I am not the son of Prince Yu, I am the son of my father!" Zhao Haoli's childish voice was filled with fear and anger.

He looked eagerly at the emperor on the dragon throne, his small body trembling slightly with excitement.

The prince's court robe embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon on his body looked particularly eye-catching at this moment.

Emperor Zhao Guo sat quietly on the dragon throne with a gloomy expression. His slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the throne. His eyes swept over every member of the royal family like an eagle, and finally stopped on Lin Hua.

"Lord Lin, please continue." The emperor's voice was eerily calm. "I, too, would like to know whose son Li'er is."

"Father, you must believe in me. I am really your child!" Zhao Haoli's voice was filled with tears. He fell to his knees with a thud, his eyes red.

Zhao Yucheng's legs went weak and he staggered back half a step. Fortunately, he grabbed the chair beside him in time and did not fall to the ground.

Fine beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead and slid down his temples.

He could feel the countless gazes from behind him, and the eyes of those courtiers who were usually respectful to him were now full of inquiry and suspicion.

Is the reputation of a wise king that he has painstakingly built over decades going to be destroyed at this moment?

However, what made him even more heartbroken was Li'er's attitude.

This child seemed unwilling to acknowledge him as his biological father.

How could this be possible? Li'er had clearly caught him and Concubine Yin having an affair, so logically she should know the truth.

He opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but found his throat was too dry and he couldn't make a sound, because he also wanted to know whether Li'er was his child.

His mind was in a mess, and every little detail of his past interactions with Yin Ling'er flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

"In the eight years since His Highness Li'er was born, Concubine Yin has always come to the basement to talk to me, whether she's happy or unhappy."

Lin Hua's voice sounded again, bringing Zhao Yucheng back to reality from his memories.

Although this former Minister of Personnel was dressed in rags and looked haggard, his eyes were unusually bright, as if they could see through people's hearts.

"Noble Concubine Yin is guilty of countless crimes, even using her own daughter as a cruel tool.

Living with a mask on all day and performing over and over again have made her physically and mentally exhausted, and she must find an outlet to vent.

This prince's daughter is the princess, and he will never allow the prince to have children with other women. The prince can only be his pawn."

Lin Hua continued, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "Of course, she never dreamed that I would be able to escape."

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Yucheng finally found his voice and practically shouted, "Noble Concubine Yin is an orphan. How could she be his biological daughter before my brother forced her into the palace?"

His voice echoed in the hall, but it seemed so pale and powerless.

The court officials exchanged meaningful glances, and it was obvious that they believed Lin Hua's words more.

Zhao Guoan remained silent, he just looked at Zhao Yucheng with a look that was almost pity.

In his eyes, this powerful royal brother was nothing but a pitiful creature being played around by others.

Of course, isn't he also a poor guy?

"Prince Yu, do you know?" Lin Hua sneered, "The reason why Concubine Yin arranged for people to arrest me was because she would never allow you to be distracted by other things.

Only by controlling me can she better control the prince and take action against the people in Prince Yu's mansion."

Zhao Yucheng's heart sank suddenly.

"The reason why all the women in the palace are unable to get pregnant is because Concubine Yin poisoned the prince."

Lin Hua sighed deeply and continued, "If the amount of aphrodisiac poison used is too high, the activity of the prince's sperm will be almost zero.

Therefore, for the past ten years, no matter how many imperial physicians and doctors the women in the palace consulted, they were unable to get pregnant."

Every word Lin Hua said was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhao Yucheng's heart, causing his body to tremble slightly.

There was a sound of people gasping in shock in the court.

"Father...you have suffered. It is my fault that I am unfilial. I should not have married him in the first place, otherwise you would not have suffered this!" Lin Shiyi's eyes were slightly red and tears were welling up in them.

For so many years, she has been burdened with the stigma of "infertility" and suffered from grievances and ridicule.

Zhao Yucheng stared at her in a daze, and suddenly remembered that over the years, he had humiliated her in every way and even beat and scolded her because of the issue of offspring.

Yin Ling'er always wrote letters to gently comfort him, saying that it must be Lin Shiyi's problem and had nothing to do with his ability.

"No, it's not your fault. These people have bad intentions!" Lin Hua looked at his daughter with a loving gaze: "Yier, you've done very well. Your father is proud of you!"

Zhao Yucheng felt like his world was collapsing. He stumbled back, his voice trembling: "You're talking nonsense..."

Yes, Lin Hua must be talking nonsense.

How could Ling'er lie to him?

They have been in love for many years. If it weren't for the royal brother who stole her away, Ling'er would have been his princess long ago.

Are those romantic vows and tender affections all false?

"Am I talking nonsense? The prince has already made up his mind, right?" Lin Hua's voice was cold.

"Noble Concubine Yin once said that the prince's rescue of her from the bandits was actually planned by her.

Before she plotted against you, she had already thrown herself into the arms of His Majesty.

She said that she has always loved His Majesty, and His Royal Highness Prince Li is naturally His Majesty's son."

Zhao Yucheng felt dizzy. Even his royal brother didn't know that he had rescued Ling'er from the bandits.

He held his forehead, cold sweat soaking the lining of his court robes.

"Your Highness, you think you are high above and in control of everything, but in fact, you have become a joke, a pawn of the Wa Lie Kingdom. Haha..." Lin Hua's laughter echoed in the hall, harsh and sarcastic.

"You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense...I will kill you!" Zhao Yucheng completely lost his mind. He suddenly drew the sword from his waist and rushed towards Lin Hua.

However, Zhao Haoxuan's figure blocked Lin Hua's way even faster.

"Prince Yu really can't tell right from wrong." Wang Xinyao's clear voice sounded, with a hint of sarcasm: "Lord Lin is your former father-in-law,

He is just telling you the truth, and you can't accept it? You don't vent your anger on the person who lied to you, but on the person who told you the truth. "

Zhao Yucheng's hand gripping the sword was shaking. He stared at Lin Hua intently, gritting his teeth and saying, "He's talking nonsense. He's wrongly accusing the prince and the imperial concubine. Nothing has happened to the prince and the imperial concubine."

However, even he could hear the uncertainty in his own voice.

All those overlooked details and those unreasonable things all come to mind at this moment.

Yin Ling'er always cleverly leads him to oppose the Queen Mother, always appears by his side when he needs support the most, and always adds fuel to the fire when he and his brother have conflicts...

If all this was planned, then hasn't he been living a huge joke all these years?

"Lord Lin is not talking nonsense!" Zhao Haoli's voice sounded again, childish but firm.

"After I caught you and Yin Ling'er doing that, Yin Ling'er told me many times that I was really the emperor's son in order to prevent me from getting angry.

And her real identity is indeed Liu Linger. When my father was the crown prince, she plotted against my father and became pregnant with my sister.

My sister is Zhao Meir!" Zhao Haoli's eyes flashed with tenderness when he said this.

Zhao Yucheng's body swayed and he almost couldn't stand.

Zhao Guoan looked at Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan with dissatisfaction.

It turns out that his eldest daughter is called Mei'er, and even Li'er has met her.

Crown Prince Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao actually dared to hide it from him until now. Let's see if he won't settle the score with them later.

Humph, they have made up their minds that when this matter is settled, he will become the emperor emeritus, accompany the queen and Concubine Li to travel around the world, and leave the tiring throne to them.

"The Crown Prince has long known my sister's identity. It was my brother's men who rescued my sister." Zhao Haoli continued, "My sister should have gone to the battlefield of Li Kingdom. Now that Wolie Kingdom has been defeated, I believe my sister will be able to return to the capital soon."

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Zhao Yucheng finally couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on one knee, supporting his body with his sword.

He could question Lin Hua, he could question anyone, but he had watched Li'er grow up, and the child never lied.

Is it really Ling'er who is lying to him?

The woman he had devoted his entire life to loving had actually been using him from the very beginning?

Zhao Yucheng felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he could hardly breathe.

Yin Ling'er's gentle voice kept echoing in his mind: "Your Majesty, the only person I trust in this world is you..."

"As long as it's for you, I'm willing to do anything..."

"Li'er is our child, you must protect him well... If Li'er doesn't ascend to that high position, Ling'er will be tortured to death by the Queen!"

Is it all a lie?

At this time, the guard who had been protecting Lin Hua slowly took off the disguise on his face.

An extraordinarily handsome, angular face was revealed, with an innate nobility and majesty revealed between his brows.

Zhao Haoxuan said calmly: "Uncle, how are you?"

"Crown Prince? It's you! Why did you return to the capital?" Zhao Yucheng exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Your strength...?"

Zhao Haoxuan sneered, "That's because I have all the evidence against Concubine Yin, so I returned to the palace early."

The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the prince who suddenly appeared.

The sunlight shone in through the high window frames, casting a golden edge on his body. His ordinary guard's uniform could not conceal his innate kingly bearing.

Zhao Haoxuan paced slowly, his eyes sweeping over all the civil and military officials in the court, finally stopping on Zhao Yucheng's pale face.

"Uncle, do you know why I have to disguise myself and return to the palace?"

Zhao Haoxuan's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in every corner of the hall.

"Because I want to see with my own eyes how that uncle, who keeps saying he's loyal to the royal family and his father, fell step by step into the soft trap woven by the rulers of the enemy country, and nearly handed over our Great Xia Empire to someone else!"

Zhao Yucheng trembled all over, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"No... Impossible..." He muttered to himself, his eyes blurred. "Ling'er wouldn't lie to me... She said she loves me the most..."
