The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

I observed all this quietly, pondering it inwardly. Huanbi's actions were undoubtedly intended to address Ulanara's earlier doubts and demonstrate her innocence and loyalty to the Emperor. And as the key figure in this lie, Ying'er's performance was crucial. Judging from the current situation, she and Huanbi were working together well, with no flaws revealed.

At this time, the emperor finally spoke, his voice steady and powerful, and said to Guarjia:

"This Ying'er was originally a servant of the Zhen family. How did she end up in your mother's house?"

Upon hearing this, Guarjia's face showed a gentle smile, and she slowly explained:

"Your Majesty, you may not know that after the Zhen family was exiled to Ningguta, their servants scattered and they had no means of survival. My father, seeing this helpless and helpless girl, felt very sorry for her. He felt pity for her and gave her food to eat. He brought her back to the palace and made her a servant in the Guarjia Palace. Later, my father decided to marry her to Chen Si, a servant in the palace."

As she spoke, Guaerjia tilted her head slightly and pointed at the male servant behind her. It was Chen Si. Chen Si lowered his head, his face simple and honest, and he looked honest and dutiful.

Then, Guaerjia's eyes fell on Huanbi and Ying'er again, with a puzzled look on her face:

"But how did this Ying'er become Bi's promised mother? I really don't understand."

Guaerjia's doubts were shared by everyone in the hall. They all cast curious glances at this pair who looked like mother and daughter but had complex identities.

Besides Guaerjia, Chen Si also had a puzzled look. He looked up at Huanbi, a flicker of surprise and confusion in his eyes. He had obviously not expected that his wife, Ying'er, would have such a deep connection with the imperial concubine, Bi.

The emperor stared at Ying'er with a sharp gaze, his tone calm but with undeniable power:

"Yin'er, tell me yourself. What is your relationship with Bi Yanying?"

Upon hearing this, Ying'er trembled slightly, then lowered her head, her voice low but clearly audible:

"Your Majesty, as Concubine Qi said, I am now in the Guaerjia Mansion, and my husband is Chen Si. This Bi Da Ying was indeed born when I was in the Zhen Mansion. Back then, I was of humble status and knew I was unworthy of marrying into the Zhen family's concubine position. I only wished for the safety of mother and daughter. Therefore, my daughter lived in the Zhen Mansion as the personal maid of the eldest lady. I never thought that my daughter would be so blessed to enter the palace and become a concubine. This is truly a great favor, and I am deeply grateful."

At this point, Ying'er's voice was choked with sobs as she continued:

"Your Majesty treats my daughter so well. I am truly grateful. I know that my status is low and I have nothing to repay you. I can only kowtow and express my gratitude. May Your Majesty live long and long. May Bi promise my young mistress long-lasting blessings, peace and happiness."

After saying that, Ying'er immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times respectfully.

At this moment, the emperor looked quite satisfied. He nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with approval. He turned to look at Ulanara, his tone filled with a bit of majesty and temptation:

"Xiu Fei, do you have anything else to say?"

Upon hearing this, Ulanara's face turned pale, her lips pursed tightly, and she remained silent. She had never expected this to happen. She had thought she could easily expose the lie about Huanbi's life, but unexpectedly, her plans were completely disrupted by Yin'er's words. At this moment, she was filled with anger and resentment, but she could only suppress her emotions and remain silent.

Of course, Guarjia and I were the ones who never expected this. However, we had completely different ideas in mind.

I watched this scene with a wave of astonishment. I had never imagined the Zhen family could pull off such a flawless lie, orchestrated from within. From Huanbi's composure to Ying'er's frankness and composure, every detail flowed so naturally, as if it were the truth. I had to admit, Huanbi and the others were thoroughly prepared this time, making it difficult to find any flaws.

Guaerjia's surprise and confusion were completely different from mine. She had never imagined that a servant from her mother's family was actually the mother of the young lady in the palace. This sudden turn of events left her momentarily bewildered. She looked at Ying'er and Huanbi, a complex expression flashing across her eyes, a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.

The atmosphere in the hall once again grew tense and subtle. The Emperor quietly observed everyone's reactions, his eyes deep and sharp, as if he could see into everyone's heart.

"You stinky bitch!"

"Snapped!"

With a sudden roar, the atmosphere in the hall froze. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ying'er's face, where a bright red mark appeared, clearly from a hard slap. This sudden change of events left everyone stunned.

The roar came from Chen Si, his eyes wide open, his face full of anger, as if he had been greatly deceived and insulted:

"Well, you actually lied to me and said you were unmarried, yet you actually gave birth to a child! How can you, an old, ugly woman, be worthy of me?"

After saying that, Chen Si still seemed unsatisfied and raised his arms again, ready to attack Ying'er.

At this moment, Su Peisheng was quick-witted and took a step forward, firmly grasping Chen Si's arm that was about to fall. His voice was cold and majestic:

"How dare you! You actually dared to fight in front of the emperor? Do you know what kind of crime this is?"

As soon as Su Peisheng finished speaking, Chen Si finally woke up from his dream. He suddenly realized his own loss of composure and impulsiveness, and a look of fear and regret instantly appeared on his face. He quickly withdrew his arms, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy:

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, have mercy on me! I, a lowly person, acted impulsively and offended the majesty of Heaven. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"

Chen Si's plea for mercy echoed in the hall, his tone full of fear and despair.

He knew full well that in this magnificent palace, any small mistake could lead to death. At this moment, he could only hope for the emperor's tolerance and mercy.

The emperor watched this scene quietly, his eyes deep and complex. He was surprised by Chen Si's sudden outburst, but also felt sympathy for Yin'er's experience. However, as the ruler of a country, he had to remain calm and rational and not be swayed by emotions.

"alright,"

The emperor finally spoke, his voice calm and firm

"I have made up my mind about this matter. Chen Si, you have offended the majesty of heaven and deserve severe punishment. However, considering that this is your first offense and your circumstances are extenuating, I will spare your life for now. However, while the death penalty may be avoided, the punishment of life cannot be escaped. You will go to the Ministry of Punishment to receive twenty lashes of the cane."

As the emperor finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall finally calmed down. Chen Siru, having received a general pardon, kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
