Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Madam Du had regained her strength by now, and she spoke tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please give me justice. I almost died at your wedding banquet with the princess!"

Concubine De also said: "Your Majesty, please look into this matter and give us all an explanation!"

Emperor Sheng An squeezed his eyes shut tightly, and the struggle on his face vanished in a flash.

Lin Yiwan spoke calmly, "After all, you just want to search me and see if I've hidden the poisonous ice toad?"

Wu Eryun interrupted without hesitation: "That's right, Madam Hou, if you have no guilty conscience, then let us investigate openly!"

Lin Yiwan replied calmly, "Of course I have no guilty conscience, but you are responsible for my reputation. If the poisonous ice toad wasn't on me, would you still punish me according to the law?"

Wu Eryun's eyes dodged for a moment, and she quickly denied: "It's not me who doubts you, but Cao Aiwen who testified against you!"

When he met Lin Yiwan's gaze, Cao Aiwen felt a chill running down his back.

She subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and had an urge to retreat.

Wu Eryun was not willing to let her back down, and spoke without hesitation: "Miss Cao, didn't you see it with your own eyes? Don't you even believe your own eyes?"

Cao Aiwen suddenly realized that, yes, she must not be scared by Lin Yiwan.

She clenched her fists and shouted, "Don't even think about stopping me! I saw you trying to steal something. You already had the antidote in your hand, but you're plotting to get Concubine Yun's sacred object. You deserve to die!"

Lin Yiwan spoke without hesitation: "Okay, let's gamble on this life and see who deserves to die."

After the words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.

Someone immediately spoke up, "Madam Hou, you really shouldn't do this. Admitting to the substitution will only tarnish your reputation. You can apologize to Concubine Yun and that's it. Why would you risk your life for this?"

Lin Yiwan stubbornly said, "Reputation is more important than anything else. I, Lin Yiwan, have always been upright and have a stable position. I absolutely cannot bear this stigma!"

Cao Aiwen tightly grasped the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes full of struggle and anxiety.

Wu Eryun couldn't help but remind her: "Don't be scared, she is just trying to scare you. If you don't dare to gamble with her, she can get away with it!"

Cao Aiwen lowered his voice and said, "Empress Yun, if I am mistaken, I will die!"

Wueryun interrupted without hesitation: "She wanted this result, so she proposed to gamble her life!"

Cao Aiwen bit his back teeth hard, and after a long time, he managed to spit out two words from his throat: "I bet!"

Lin Yiwan waved at her and said, "Come, search it yourself!"

Cao Aiwen walked quickly to her and put his hand directly into her sleeve.

When she touched a small box, her face was immediately filled with joy.

She spoke quickly: "Madam Hou, you are very tough, but what you have done cannot be hidden from others. May I ask, what is this?"

She shook the small box in her hand, with a look of pride in her eyes and eyebrows.

Wueryun spoke quickly, "This is the box that holds the poisonous ice toad. Lin Yiwan, what else do you have to quibble about now?"

Concubine De gnashed her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the evidence is now irrefutable. It proves that the Marquis' wife staged the poisoning farce herself. She used my mother to murder Concubine Yun. Please punish her severely, restore justice to the Marquis of Huaiyang, appease Concubine Yun, and maintain friendly relations between our two countries!"

I have to say that Defei's words have reached a very high level!

That means Lin Yiwan’s life must be taken to silence the gossips.

The saint's face turned pale with anxiety. She wanted to speak up for Lin Yiwan, but was stopped by her eyes.

She had no choice but to pinch the back of her hand tightly and wait for Emperor Sheng An's decision.

A moment later, Emperor Sheng'an's cold voice suddenly rang out beside Concubine De's ears: "Concubine De, how can you be so sure that the unopened box contains the poisonous ice toad? Do you have X-ray vision?"

Concubine De's face froze. She hesitantly argued, "I don't have X-ray vision, but didn't Concubine Yun just say that that was the box containing the poisonous ice toad?"

Emperor Sheng An interrupted without hesitation: "That's ridiculous! You haven't seen it with your own eyes, yet you dare to speak nonsense? With your impulsive personality, how can you be the dean of the Noble Ladies Academy?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine De was shocked all over.

The reason why she was highly respected in the capital was because she was the dean of the Noble Ladies Academy.

Most of the wives of the important officials in the court had learned the rules and regulations from the Noble Ladies' Academy and they all respected her very much.

It is precisely because of this identity that she has the opportunity to win the hearts of the people for her father!

She believes that nothing in this world is more effective than pillow talk.

How could the towering tree she had worked so hard to grow be uprooted before it even blossomed or bore fruit?

No, absolutely not!

She quickly apologized, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't mean to target the Marquis' wife. I simply lost my composure because my mother was nearly killed by poison. Please forgive me!"

Emperor Sheng An stared at her closely and said, "De Fei, I have been too indulgent with you. I allowed you to live in the Noble Ladies Academy. Now that you have returned to the palace, you don't have to leave again. Go back to Deqing Palace and live peacefully!"

Concubine De pleaded anxiously, "Your Majesty, you can't leave me like this. What will happen to the Noble Ladies' Academy? I have worked so hard to build it!"

Emperor Sheng An said calmly, "Let the Empress choose another lady of a noble family who is both virtuous and kind to manage the family. I have made up my mind. Concubine De, please do not lose your composure!"

Concubine De felt waves of terrifying chills surging from head to toe. Why did the emperor deprive her of the right to manage the academy?

It’s all that bitch Lin Yiwan’s fault. Please, God, let her die quickly!

Seeing the resentful look in Concubine De's eyes, Lin Yiwan sneered inwardly, "Empress De, this is just the beginning. Please continue reading!"

There are more surprises waiting for you!

After Emperor Sheng'an dealt with Concubine De, the entire hall fell into silence.

No one dared to speak first, for fear that the emperor's anger would be directed at them for no reason.

In the end, it was Concubine Yun who spoke first: "Your Majesty, Yun'er wishes to personally open the box and retrieve the poisonous ice toad!"

Emperor Sheng An nodded: "Okay, go open it!"

Wueryun stepped forward quickly and took the box directly from Cao Aiwen's hand.

"Empress!" A hint of pleading flashed in Cao Aiwen's eyes.

Wueryun lowered his voice and said quickly, "May the best of luck to you. If there really is a poisonous ice toad in this box, your life will be saved. If not, you will be dead!"

After hearing her words, Cao Aiwen's vision went dark.

She stared with a pair of bloodshot eyes and said, "It will definitely happen. God won't be so cruel!"
