Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby
Chapter 202: Guilty
Question after question, harsh words after words filled his ears, and Leng Wuqin was extremely angry.
He frequently looked at his daughter, and as soon as she frowned, he would take her away immediately.
Zhongli Yuan's expression did not seem strange, and even the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He walked to the gap in the city wall and stood still. Today he deliberately did not restrain his stomach.
The gorgeous palace dress was bulging out of her round belly.
Zhongli Yuan leaned slightly to the side so that the noisy crowd below could see his belly clearly.
After the people saw Concubine Yi's belly clearly, their voices became much quieter.
They are all parents and have many children at home.
We have all seen what a pregnant woman looks like, even if we don't know exactly how many months she is pregnant.
But judging from the obviously bulging belly, it must have been more than three months.
Especially those women who have given birth, they can tell at a glance that Concubine Yi's belly is already six or seven months old.
The people were instigated to surround the palace.
Now Zhongli Yuan stood out in front of them without a trace of guilt.
Most people are kind and honest, and will not easily judge a woman.
What's more, she is the emperor's woman.
Zhongli Yuan cleared his throat, even though he didn't have much internal strength yet.
But the sound produced by using Dantian is much louder than usual.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to what I have to say."
As soon as the clear and bright voice came out, the people who were whispering below gradually fell silent.
"I am very confused. I have never left the harem and have never met the court officials."
"Who was it that spread rumors about me recently?"
"I am extremely puzzled. Before the Emperor personally led the army into battle, he personally entrusted my father with the responsibility of governing the country, and also personally handed the imperial seal to me."
"How did it become the Leng family's father and daughter plotting to seize the Dongxia Empire?"
"My fellow citizens, is the Emperor the kind of person who, without distinguishing between loyalty and treachery, would hand over Dongxia's most important possession to someone with ulterior motives?"
"Even if this lady and my father have ill intentions, what are the civil and military officials supposed to do?"
"I am a weak woman, and my father is just a weak civil official. I have no martial arts skills and no troops. How can I seize the kingdom of Dongxia?"
"The Emperor has only been at the border for a little over five months. Even if my father and I tried our best in those five months, we wouldn't be able to win over all the officials of Dongxia."
"Also, even if the charges are true, the Emperor will be returning to the capital soon. Why not wait until he returns to put us to death?"
"At worst, if I'm guilty, there's still the Imperial Clan Court. Why don't you hand the evidence over to them to punish me?"
"Why spread those rumors and incite the people to make such a fuss?"
"Or is it that someone doesn't want the emperor to have his own child?"
"Or perhaps you want to take advantage of this last opportunity before the Emperor returns to the capital to steal something?"
"The imperial seal in my hand? Or the power in the hands of the Prime Minister?"
"Or perhaps you could control my father, my daughter, and the Emperor's first child in my belly, and use this to threaten the Emperor?"
When Zhongli Yuan said this, there were some bad voices from the audience, but for some reason they always disappeared quietly.
As a result, Zhongli Yuan was not interrupted in his speech, and the people fell into deep thought.
They naturally trust the emperor who loves his people like his own children and personally conquered Beidong.
Then the person the emperor trusts will naturally not be wrong.
They all understood the Prime Minister's character and believed that he was indeed a good official who served the people with integrity.
Although Concubine Yi and the others didn't understand, the daughter raised by an excellent prime minister must be good.
And what Concubine Yi said is very true.
The emperor is about to return to the capital. If the father and daughter really want to steal something, they will definitely not give up easily.
If they had any important evidence, wouldn't they just wait until the emperor returned to Beijing to release it and then kill the father and daughter at once?
Why should we alert the enemy in advance?
Aren’t you afraid that the Prime Minister and Concubine Yi will run away early?
These are too untenable, and what happened on the other side has already been reported.
Those who took the lead kept saying that Concubine Yi had defiled the harem and confused the royal bloodline, and there was solid evidence.
But there is no evidence at all.
There was no problem with Concubine Yi's pregnancy month, and no adulterer was caught on the spot.
There is not a single piece of useful evidence, this is just empty slander.
Just as the people realized what was happening, someone in the crowd started shouting.
"People, there are spies among the people. They cannot tolerate the emperor's first child."
"They want to use us to get rid of Concubine Yi and the Prime Minister, the Emperor's right-hand man. We must not fall for their tricks!"
"Think about it, if the emperor never has an heir, who will benefit?"
Zhongli Yuan looked closely in the direction of the voice and saw a scholar in simple clothes.
I can't help but sigh that reading is the key to enlightenment.
If everyone in Dongxia could read, such absurd things would not have happened today.
Just when the people's hearts were leaning towards the Prime Minister and Concubine Yi, someone came out to make trouble.
"People, don't be bewitched by the evil concubine. The emperor has already been bewitched by her, so he will naturally not punish the father and daughter."
"Did you know that the Saint of Southern Border is also in the harem and has a very close relationship with Concubine Yi?"
"Concubine Yi must have used some kind of witchcraft to bewitch the Emperor, causing him to hand over such a major task as governing the country to the treacherous Prime Minister."
Zhongli Yuan shifted his gaze away from the scholar and looked towards the other side where the sound came from.
A man with a full beard whose face could not be seen clearly shouted loudly.
The people surrounding them clearly took a protective stance.
Zhongli Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Those people really invested a lot of money.
Just as he was speaking, someone sneaked into the crowd and secretly arrested those who slandered him.
The people below might not notice it, but he could see it clearly from his high place.
We have already arrested quite a few people, but we didn’t expect there are still quite a few.
"That's sheer nonsense!"
"Could it be that everyone has forgotten that the Saintess of Southern Border lost the poison contest with the Emperor?"
"Poison and Gu are inseparable. How can I poison the emperor if I can't match his poison skills?"
Zhongli Yuan glanced back and saw that it was still the scholar who spoke.
"Judging from your attire, you must be a student taking the imperial examination this year. You're speaking for that demon concubine like this, so you must have sold your body to get it."
"Could it be that you are the concubine of that evil concubine?"
……
A scholar is a scholar after all, and his face is not as thick as those scoundrels.
His face flushed red and he couldn't open his mouth because of the dirty words.
"Anyway, we don't believe what you, the demon concubine, say!"
"unless……"
"Unless you show us your belly and see if you are really pregnant for several months."
"That's right, who knows what's stuffed under that dress?"
"That's right, show it to us!"
"Show us!"
"Show us, or you have something to hide!"
"There's something fishy going on!"
