C478 Emperor grace

What...

This... How could that be?

Feng Lingyue suddenly turned to look at Feng Yunyao. When she was in the Sky Prison, she had thought about the possibility that the toads were a prank from Thirteenth Sister, but the result was quite serious, and she was afraid of being exposed and being punished by her father, so she didn't dare to admit it.

She'd never imagined that Thirteenth Sister's goal was to get rid of her and be with Xiao He.

"Thirteenth Sister, is this true?" Feng Lingyue, whose eyes were as clear as the stars, stared at Feng Yunyao and asked with a trembling voice.

Feng Ziyao's face was pale white, and her body was trembling slightly. She clenched her hands into fists, and stood up shakily. Her heart was heaving up and down, and large tears rolled down her face.

"Sister Eleven, why are you so easily provoked by an imperial physician? Don't tell me you have no trust in your younger sister at all? So your little sister is such a malicious person in your heart? Is my sister someone who is shameless because of a man? "

Xiao He looked at her coldly. Compared to Mu Ru Yue'er, Princess Thirteen was much more scheming. After being accused, not only did she have to get rid of her suspicions, she also unconsciously pushed the blame on Mu Ru Yue'er, pointing to her easily suspecting sisterhood.

Hehe, this number of flowers … I'm afraid Yue'er won't be able to catch up to them for the rest of her life.

Sure enough, Yue'er was thrown off guard. She gave a start. "This, you, that's not what I meant. It's just that Imperial Physician Liang said …"

Feng Tang Yao turned to look at Imperial Physician Liang again. Step by step, she approached the kneeling Imperial Physician Liang. Every step she took seemed so difficult, so pitiful and pitiful.

"Imperial Physician Liang, W-what are you saying?" "When did I ask you to do such a malicious act? You, it's fine if you almost caused me to die, but in order to protect yourself, you … you're still …" She was so excited that she began to pant heavily, looking like she was about to faint, her face pale.

Yao'er …" "Your body hasn't completely recovered yet. Don't get too excited. If you didn't do it, then you didn't. Could it be that there's anyone in the world who can wrongly accuse you in front of the emperor?" He suddenly turned his head, his sharp eyes fixed on Imperial Physician Liang as he scolded, "Imperial Physician Liang, my mother's trust in you was in vain. You treat Tang Yao and me, and I will reward you generously.

"Esteemed Empress, Princess Thirteen, you can't ah … You can't accuse a lowly official like me. How could a lowly imperial physician like me possibly harm the princess' heart? Besides, the princess has no enmity with me, so I …" Imperial Physician Liang was anxious to defend himself.

"Pah!" "You still dare to lie? When the empress was in charge of the imperial harem, she punished you before, so you kept holding a grudge. Now that the empress has fallen, you saw your chance and started taking revenge. What I said, was it correct?"

"Esteemed Empress, although the empress has punished this lowly one, this lowly one has never harmed the heart of the Eleventh Princess!" He had interacted with Lian Zhaoyi for more than ten years, and only now did he realize just how frightening and powerful she was. A small matter that had happened several years ago when the empress had punished him could actually happen to her, and she remembered it so clearly!

As Feng Lingyue looked at them, she suddenly felt at a loss. The wronged expressions on Thirteenth Sister and Lian Zhaoyi's faces, could it really be that Imperial Physician Liang had pushed the blame onto Thirteenth Sister just to protect himself?

Xiao He saw the hesitation on Feng Lingyue's face and helplessly shook his head. This silly girl, it was really hard to imagine how she managed to live safely in the palace in the past. It was probably because of her identity as the empress's princess that she was protected all these years.

Now, once she lost the protection of the empress, she would begin to be framed.

Xiao He looked coldly at the mother and daughter. He had long since thought that they would push all the blame onto Imperial Physician Liang. This was the usual practice of the master of the palace —

If this matter had been discovered by them long ago, they would have thought of a hundred ways to make Imperial Physician Liang willingly take on these crimes. It was just that they had kept the matter a secret during their investigation, and now that things had suddenly developed, Imperial Physician Liang had lost her mind from his threatening words.

He had forgotten that even if Zhaoyi and Feng Ziyao were to commit the crime, he would still not be able to escape his doom!

And now, the only way to decide whether or not Feng Yunyao and Lian Zhaoyi would be punished was to see the extent of Zhou Chengdi's trust and preference towards them. To retort like that, one had to see how indifferent and indifferent he would be to Yue'er, and whether or not he would just watch her being wrongly accused without caring about it.

Zhou Chengdi didn't expect that Imperial Physician Liang would ultimately point the finger at Wu Yao. He slowly raised his head and looked at his most beloved daughter …

At this moment, she looked very weak and scared. She leaned against Lian Zhaoyi's chest and secretly cried. She didn't even have the strength to argue for herself.

Lian Zhaoyi's heart trembled. She had been by Zhou Chengdi's side for so many years that she understood his expression. This meant that he was hesitating and wavering.

No, no!

Their greatest asset in the palace was the Emperor's love for her. If she were to be found out by someone else, it would be hard to imagine how angry the Emperor would be.

She suddenly pulled Feng Yao to her knees and said, "Your majesty, when chenqie gave birth to a twin, her son could no longer live, and it took her much effort to survive. At that time, even her midwife said that she could only live for three days, but the emperor refused to believe her and told people to give her a 40 year punishment for it. He also said that this child was fated to be with you in his life, so he wouldn't die.

Chenqie had been carefully protecting her all these years, afraid that something bad might happen to her.

Moreover, my concubine's heart is full of gratitude to heaven, grateful for the Emperor's pity for my daughter, for this often burning incense and praying.

How could she have such malicious thoughts, a child who would even cry if she stepped on an ant to death?

"Say more …"

Lian Zhaoyi glanced at Xiao He and said, "She is the emperor's beloved daughter, she is golden and jade, she is noble and proud. Chenqie has taught her since she was young to cherish her own reputation, she has always been very obedient and sensible.

Speak, Lian Zhaoyi's face turned red from anger. He could not help but cry.

Zhou Chengdi stared at Feng Zhaoyi for a long time, and Zhouyao felt the pressure of his gaze. Her heart trembled as she tightly held onto Lian Zhaoyi's clothes, but her face didn't show any signs of panic. Instead, she silently shed tears.

Finally, Zhou Chengdi looked at Imperial Physician Liang, who had already turned deathly pale. He shook his head and murmured, "Your majesty, this humble servant deserves to die a thousand deaths, but this humble servant truly has no enmity with Imperial Princess Eleven. It's Princess Thirteenth's decision."

"Shut up!" Finally, Zhou Cheng Di shouted, "You tried to take revenge on the empress for the punishment you received. You dared to harm the Eleventh Princess, and now you still dare to rob the Thirteenth Princess. You shall not be pardoned for this crime!" Someone come, immediately drag him out and execute him according to what Xiao He said. His head is hanging on the city wall as an example to his family and cannot be forgiven! "

"Your Majesty …" "Your majesty, unjustly accused …" Imperial Physician Liang felt his vision darken as he pleaded for mercy, but the emperor had already opened his mouth, making it impossible for him to escape a death sentence. Two guards came in and tied him up, sealing his mouth.

Feng Yu Yao and Lian Zhaoyi heaved a sigh of relief. Feng Yu Yao's body suddenly softened and she fainted.

"You Yao'er!" Lian Zhaoyi shouted and hugged her.

Zhou Chengdi didn't run over anxiously as usual, but sat down slowly with a complicated expression on his face.

"Ling Yue'er, I've misunderstood you. It's alright now, go back to Changchun Palace." He finally exhaled and said.

"That's great, I thank the Emperor for his grace!" Xiao He was extremely happy and hurriedly looked towards Mu Yue'er before running over to help untie the shackles on her body.

However, Yue'er's face didn't show any sign of happiness. She silently knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Zhou Cheng.

"This son thanks Imperial Father for his grace."
