Surprise! The Crown Princess drives a mecha into the battlefield

Taifu Sun was afraid that Emperor Minghui would believe Minister Ye's words, so he hurried out to refute him.

Concubine Ye became arrogant and domineering because of her favor, while Wei Lingyue and Minister Ye monopolized power.

He flattered Emperor Minghui with sweet words, persecuted the crown prince, and framed loyal officials.

This has already caused dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court. If this continues, I am afraid that the government will be unstable and the people will be uneasy.

"Grand Tutor Sun, you are the teacher of the deposed Crown Prince. You must be dissatisfied with His Majesty's decision, so you spread rumors about Concubine Ye and the eldest prince. Maybe you are colluding with the deposed Crown Prince..." Minister Ye retorted angrily.

"Minister Ye, please stay. The rest of you can leave." Emperor Minghui waved his hand, interrupting Minister Ye and signaling everyone to leave the court.

In the royal study

"Bring Concubine Ye, the eldest prince and Wei Lingyue to me." Emperor Minghui looked solemn. He didn't believe that his beloved woman would dare to do such a thing, but the contents on the paper made him believe it.

The guards immediately took orders and left. The atmosphere in the imperial study was heavy. Emperor Minghui held the note tightly, his eyes complicated.

Several people were quickly taken to the imperial study.

Emperor Minghui's face turned pale. "Ye Yaru, you did something bad behind my back. Your affair with Wei Lingyue has caused a great uproar in the city."

As soon as Concubine Ye entered the room, she heard Emperor Minghui's questioning. She exchanged a glance with Wei Lingyue, her face pale.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! Someone must have deliberately spread rumors to alienate you and me."

Concubine Ye cried, her voice trembling. Even her own father didn't know about this, so who on earth had spread it?

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I am a eunuch. How could I have an affair with Concubine Ye?" Wei Lingyue also knelt down and begged for mercy, his face full of horror.

Emperor Minghui looked at them coldly, his heart burning with anger. "How dare you quibble? Tell me, is Siyu my child?"

Concubine Ye was shocked and her face turned pale. "Your Majesty, your words really hurt Ru'er's heart. Yu'er is of course the prince's son of Your Majesty and me." Concubine Ye held Emperor Minghui's sleeve tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Si Yu looked at Emperor Minghui in horror and quickly knelt down, "Father, someone must be framing Mother!"

Wei Lingyue was secretly panicked, but he forced himself to remain calm and kowtowed hurriedly, saying, "Your Majesty, someone must have maliciously slandered you, attempting to sow discord between Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, and the First Prince."

"Come, take Wei Lingyue down for a physical examination." As Emperor Minghui finished speaking, the atmosphere in the palace froze. Wei Lingyue's body trembled, but he was unable to resist and was forcibly taken away by the guards.

"Take a look." Emperor Minghui threw the paper on the ground, and Concubine Ye picked it up in a panic.

The content on the paper shocked Concubine Ye, and her fingers trembled involuntarily. Where did this portrait come from?

"Your Majesty, the contents of this paper are pure rumors. Look, this handwriting, this portrait and this paper are things we in the Ruilan Dynasty have never seen before. Maybe they came from an enemy country." Concubine Ye held the paper tightly, trying to find a flaw.

"Your Majesty, Ya Ru has always been gentle and virtuous, and would never do anything to betray Your Majesty. Please understand." Minister Ye also knelt down and begged hurriedly, with pleading in his voice.

Emperor Minghui's eyes shifted between Concubine Ye and Si Yu, and the doubts in his heart grew stronger.

"Your Majesty, Wei Lingyue has indeed been castrated, but..." The inner guard hesitated for a moment before Emperor Minghui.

"Say!"

"It's just that Wei Lingyue didn't undergo ordinary cleansing, and his wounds only occurred recently." The internal guard said it all in one breath.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Minghui's eyes were as sharp as a sword. He glanced at Concubine Ye and said, "You two adulterers!"

Wei Lingyue's face turned pale. He had never expected that the secret between him and Concubine Ye would be revealed so easily. Panic continued to grow in his eyes.

Looking at Si Yu beside him, Wei Lingyue's eyes flashed with despair, "Your Majesty, it was me who threatened Concubine Ye. When you married the late queen, I drugged Concubine Ye and broke her virginity. Later, Concubine Ye entered the palace, and I threatened her because I was greedy for power."

Wei Lingyue knew that if the matter was exposed, Emperor Minghui would not let them go, so he had no choice but to protect Concubine Ye and his son.

Concubine Ye was in tears and her body was shaking. When she heard Wei Lingyue's words, she knew that Wei Lingyue was willing to take all the blame on himself in order to protect her and Si Yu.

"It's all Ru'er's fault. Ru'er loves the emperor too much and is afraid that the emperor will dislike me." Concubine Ye's voice choked with sobs. She closed her eyes tightly, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks. "You promised to marry Ru'er."

Concubine Ye wanted Emperor Minghui to remember the promise they made.

"I ask you, is Si Yu my child? Enter the palace."

"Your Majesty, Si Yu is your child. I swear on my life."

"Hahaha, you bastard emperor." Wei Lingyue laughed wildly, his laughter echoing in the empty hall. "The woman you love most gave me her virginity. I still miss that feeling. If she hadn't refused to let me touch her after entering the palace, I would have asked her to give birth to a few princes for you."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Minghui's anger erupted like a volcano, "Come here, drag him away and beat him to death."

In order to preserve that last glimmer of hope, Wei Lingyue became even more frantic, "Dog Emperor, dog Emperor."

Wei Lingyue was dragged away. Concubine Ye looked at him tremblingly. Her heart seemed to be torn apart and her vision was blurred by tears.

"Your Majesty, it's my fault. I loved you too much and was careless enough to fall into the trap of a villain. Ru'er is willing to die to atone for her sins. I only hope that Your Majesty will take good care of our prince." After saying that, Concubine Ye stood up and bumped into the pillar next to her.

"Stop her." Emperor Minghui shouted hurriedly, and the eunuch beside him quickly stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Ye.

Concubine Ye was certainly not really seeking death. She was gambling on Emperor Minghui's love for her.

"Ruru, why are you doing this? It's not your fault. It's all because I didn't protect you well." Emperor Minghui's voice revealed a hint of helplessness and heartache. He walked forward and gently wiped away Concubine Ye's tears.

"It's all because of that dog slave. I didn't know Ru'er had suffered so much."

"Your Majesty, you already know that Ru'er was not a virgin. Ru'er is too ashamed to serve Your Majesty anymore." Concubine Ye knew that Emperor Minghui believed her.

"Ruru, in my heart, you will always be the purest and kindest woman." Emperor Minghui held Concubine Ye's hand tightly.

"Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I hope you can rest assured." Si Yu stood aside. Although he had doubts in his heart, no matter what the truth was, he must be your son.

"This old minister will also cooperate with the eldest prince to catch the traitor." Seeing that the situation was stable, Minister Ye also spoke.

Emperor Minghui looked at his beloved son in front of him, and the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared.

Yes, this is the child I raised with my own hands, how could he be someone else’s?
