Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

Gong Feifei said, "Lord Wu Wang, we have witnesses and evidence, and it is Princess Huayang who did it."

"Witness?" Xiao Bo snorted again, his words revealing a hint of amusement.

"Do you know what the punishment is for slandering the princess of this dynasty?"

"With all the witnesses and evidence, how can this be slander?"

The witness you are talking about is a slave?

Xiao Bo ignored Gong Feifei and ordered in a cold voice:

"Drag this maid away and give her fifty lashes."

The whole hall suddenly became quiet.

Fifty strokes of the cane is almost equivalent to death by beating.

Dong Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly looked up at Xiao Bo. His Majesty the King of Wu had always been kind and had never punished a servant so harshly.

But he didn't even look at her, and the words he said were like a poisoned ice knife.

"You have one more chance to speak before you are beaten to death."

After hearing this, Furun sat down steadily.

The Queen was also very satisfied.

It would be better to beat him to death.

This is the imperial palace. It is not a good thing for the master to be slandered by a servant.

Dong Yu looked up at the Queen, as if praying that the Queen would speak.

But the Queen didn't, and the always kind Queen Mother acquiesced.

They have done things that slander others, and yet they still expect others to be kind?

Dong Yu had been taken away, and the terrifying sounds of beatings could be heard outside.

Dong Yu started by shouting loudly that he was innocent, but now he couldn't even utter a word and all that could be heard was his heart-wrenching cries.

"one two three……"

The noise outside gradually died down.

Gong Feifei was horrified when she heard the noise outside, and her whole body was trembling. She didn't dare to look up, for fear that the people above would discover her.

Wait until the number outside reaches thirty-five.

There was no sound outside, so Uncle Xiao slowly called out, "Drag him in."

As soon as he finished speaking, two palace maids came in, dragging Dong Yu, who was covered in blood and had only a few breaths left.

The winding trail of blood spread all the way along the palace.

Gong Feifei lowered her head and heard Dong Yu being thrown in front of her like a dead pig. The dull thud frightened her so much that she collapsed to the ground.

However, no one paid any attention to her at this moment.

"Speak now." Xiao Bo also asked her slowly, "Who did what happened today?"

Dong Yu couldn't even open her eyes. Despite the severe pain, she still had a few breaths left, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Princess Huayang ordered this servant..."

She was barely breathing, but she was still convinced that it was Princess Huayang who did it.

Gong Feifei didn't dare to point fingers at anyone at this moment.

Xiao Bo snorted lightly and said, "Drag him out and beat him to death. After beating him to death, take off his clothes and feed him to the wolves."

However, after she said this, Dong Yu shuddered all over. She suddenly opened her eyes and said loudly: "I say... I say..."

"It was Concubine Xi! It was Concubine Xi who ordered me to drug Princess Huayang. She also promised me that after the deed was done, she would keep me safe and send me to Yukun Palace to be a head maid."

"In my room, there is the golden hairpin given to me by Concubine Xi. Your Highness King Wu will know the truth if you check it out!" Dong Yu blurted out these words almost without thinking because she was eager to survive.

Just as she was about to finish her words, she saw the Empress Xi who had just left coming.

As soon as she came in, she kicked Dong Yu.

"You lowly servant, you slandered Princess Huayang and committed such a heinous act that implicated your master. Now that things are getting worse, you're blaming me for everything. Who gave you the courage?"

Concubine Xi then knelt before the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, I understand your sister has been reflecting deeply on herself these days. How could she have done such a thing to the princess? Furthermore, my son doesn't like Princess Huayang, and I don't like her either. How could she have come up with such a plan?"

"Besides, this maid is from Kunning Palace. How can I order her around? Someone must have slandered her and is taking advantage of my downfall."

She couldn't control the people in Kunning Palace, which meant that the Queen Mother couldn't recognize people clearly, and this incident might have been caused by the Queen Mother.

The Empress felt a pang in her heart. If she couldn't deny the involvement, she would most likely be scolded by the Emperor.

Dong Yu, who was breathing very slowly below, felt secretly resentful when she heard Concubine Xi denying any involvement.

"Empress Xifei, you said you would keep me safe, you said so."

Empress Xi snorted coldly.

"A lowly slave who repeatedly bites her master should be beaten to death."

As soon as these words came out, Dong Yu repeated:

"Empress Xifei, you said you would protect me. I will be fine."

"You are from Kunning Palace. How could I tell you this?"

"You also gave me a golden hairpin." Dong Yu didn't want to die. She then said to the Queen, "Queen, the golden hairpin is in my room. Please check it out."

"Oh, a golden hairpin, who can prove that it is mine?"

She doesn't admit it?

Dong Yu was speechless and extremely angry, but she smiled and said, "Empress Xi Fei, you will not die a good death. Even if I die, I will not let you go."

Empress Xifei sneered.

"Slandering the master is punishable by death. Come, take him down and beat him to death."

The Queen is here, and no one can listen to Concubine Xi's words at this moment.

Concubine Xi frowned, looked at the people outside, and said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take the person away."

Yet no one moved.

Empress Xi was furious, but helpless.

"Empress, are you just going to tolerate her slandering the master again and again?"

Dong Yu is from Kunning Palace. Whether she slandered her master or betrayed her, she would lose face.

So this matter must be investigated thoroughly.

"Sister Xifei, all the jewelry in this palace is custom-made. Whether it is yours or not will be determined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We will investigate who gave it to you and we will know for sure."

Concubine Xi was very proud because the hairpin was not hers but something she picked up.

"Then go check it out."

The Empress ordered the maid, "Go and find the golden hairpin in her room."

"Yes."

After the palace maid left, the room became quiet.

The Empress Dowager asked Concubine Xi to stand up and gave her a seat.

After Empress Xi sat down, not only did she look arrogant, she also had the leisure to chat with Empress Dowager.

Xiao Bo looked at Xi Fei's calm face and said with a smile, "Xi Fei, did you see my second brother just now?"

"Why are you mentioning your second brother?"

"This...Princess Huayang was taking Chinese medicine and was led into the side hall. My second brother went there soon after, and it was this palace maid who led him there."

Concubine Xi was stunned.

"At that time, the two of them appeared in the side hall at the same time and exchanged some words."

Before Xi Fei could panic, Dong Yu smiled.

"Princess Huayang was not in the room at the time, so His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin ordered his servants to look for her, and even scolded me for being more trouble than helpful..."

Xi Fei's expression suddenly changed, and she argued cunningly: "What does that prove?"

"Princess Huayang is the witness. She is in the side hall. Whoever goes in first is the one who drugged her."

"It's clear that she drugged His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to frame him."

"Ah, Empress Xifei, Princess Huayang just jumped into the river. Didn't you hear?"

"..."

"She would rather jump into the river than have an affair with my second brother. Are you still going to say that she planned it? In this freezing weather, she jumped into the river. Do you think she has nothing better to do?"
