At this moment, Lian Xiyue had already changed clothes and returned to the great hall with Ji mama.
When Xiao Zhenhai heard Feng Zhenyao's accusation, he did not panic, but a cold glint appeared in his eyes. This stupid princess, if she was anxious, she could bite people.
It wasn't that Princess Eleven was the real princess, but that he had gone to inform the emperor —
Since he knew the identity of the Eleventh Princess, he knew that the Emperor would eliminate her, and even if he didn't, he would find an excuse to cancel the engagement between Xiao He and the Eleventh Princess. This was because the Emperor would naturally not refuse to betroth a fake princess to his great Xiao estate.
In other words, he had exposed the false identity of the Eleventh Princess, which could be considered as a contribution to the Imperial Family.
Thus, if Princess Thirteen targeted him, it would only be digging her own grave.
The two of them had originally planned to collude with each other, but now they were going to bite each other. Lian Ruyue stood by the side, quietly watching the show.
"Your majesty, even if you have told me some lies, she did it to protect herself. Would your majesty not believe the words of a servant who sold his master, and not believe his own daughter who grew up with him? "There is no proof at all, how can he be so sure that Deng Yao`er is the murderer of arson?" Lian Zhaoyi felt uneasy at Xiao Zhenhai's calmness as she defended Feng Yunyao.
Xiao Zhenhai took two steps forward and kneeled on the ground, "Your majesty, this humble subject is innocent!
Princess Thirteen had indeed secretly come to this humble subject, saying that she adored Xiao He and wanted to help her get rid of Princess Eleven. This humble subject did not dare to do such a thing, so she had rejected Princess Thirteen's suggestion and advised her not to act rashly.
"I didn't want to believe that Princess Thirteen had set the fire on me, but I couldn't bear to see my eldest son die in vain, so I secretly looked for Yi Xiu Palace to investigate. Someone saw Princess Thirteen mix the fire oil into the dishes …"
"No, you're lying!" Feng Tang Yao immediately denied it. "I didn't mix the oil into the food. I didn't make the oil."
Xiao Zhenhai only waited for Feng Yao to finish before he pursed his lips and said, "Princess, you said you didn't touch the fire oil? But Princess, why is there a mark left on the side of your skirt by a piece of oil? "
After Xiao Zhenhai finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned towards Feng Zhenyao's dress because the mark left on her body by the oil fire was not obvious. If they didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it.
Feng Wu Yao lowered her head, her face filled with panic, as she gripped the piece with her hand.
She had always had amazing observation skills, so not even a single drop of it could escape her eyes. Just now, she had already discovered that there was a mark of fire oil on the side of Feng Tang Yao's skirt, but she had purposely not reminded him of it.
Just now, she had purposely let the blood of the Concubine Zhi stain her body before she went to great lengths to change her clothes, causing Xiao Zhenhai to think about Feng Tang's clothes.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhenhai had been thinking about how to get rid of this stupid princess in one fell swoop and give his wife an explanation. When he went to change clothes, he also thought that it might be possible for the oil from the fire to be on his clothes.
He looked around and indeed, he found some clues.
"You, you, Duke of Xiao, you are actually like this. Father, this oil of fire, this oil of fire, this oil of fire, this …" Feng Yunyao did not expect that Xiao Zhenhai would so easily see through their relationship and was so angry that her fingertips trembled. However, the evidence in front of her was conclusive, and she was unable to refute what she had just said.
Feng Tang wanted to fight with Xiao Zhenhai, but he was still too young!
"The fire oil does have a bit of a smell. Ji mama, why don't you go up and smell it? Isn't it this smell?" Princess An Guo ordered.
"Yes." Ji mama walked in front of Feng Yunyao and said, "Princess, sorry for offending you." As he spoke, he knelt in front of Feng Yunyao and pulled out the corner of her hand that she was tightly holding. Smelling it, he got up and said, "Your majesty, the princess, is indeed hot oil."
Lian Zhaoyi sat on the floor and thought to himself — It's over.
"Your Majesty, you are the king. The prince is guilty of violating the law, and the commoners are guilty as well. Princess Thirteen has injured two lives in a row. If you don't punish her severely, it would be unfair. Please give justice to Princess Eleven and Xiao Shan, who died in vain."
She, Lu Xi, was a straightforward person. She didn't care about who was behind the scenes, who was behind the scenes, and who was behind the plot. As long as she burned Xiao Shan to death, she would pay a heavy price!
"Damned woman!" Xiao Zhenhai immediately stepped forward and slapped Madam Xiao's face. "You dare to threaten the Emperor. Hurry up and beg for forgiveness!"
Xiao Zhenhai used so much strength that his slap caused Lu Xi's face to swell. Blood even flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xi was a fierce woman. No matter if it hurt or not, he knelt on the ground and refused to get up. He said, "Your majesty, I request that the culprit be severely punished. Please be innocent!"
Lian Yue looked on coldly. This couple's double ringed singing was not bad. Madam Xiao's image always had the feeling of a heroine backing out from the shadows. Her words and aura definitely weren't like an ordinary woman's crying or making a ruckus.
"Madam Xiao!" You, why are you being so aggressive? " Feng Wu Yao's heart turned cold. She had always been doted upon by the stars, and had never imagined that she would fall to such a state today.
Lian Zhaoyi crawled on his knees in front of Emperor Zhou Cheng, puffed out his stomach and struggled to kneel on the ground as he sobbed, "Your majesty, your majesty, you can't forsake Yao'er, ah."
"Enough!" Finally, the cold-faced Emperor Zhou Cheng said, "At this point, not only are you two not reflecting on the situation, but you are also trying to shirk responsibility and protect everything. Now that Zhuo Yao has become like this, even Zhaoyi has to answer for it!"
"Your Majesty …" Lian Zhaoyi's heart turned cold.
"Thirteen was a selfish mistake. From today onwards, he will lose the title of the noble princess and leave the palace.
"Jiang Keji, send someone to lock her up for the empress's funeral!"
"No, no! Royal father …" Feng Zhaoyi's face was pale, her voice trembling, her hands covering her chest as if she was in great distress. Lian Zhaoyi hurriedly lifted up his stomach and knelt in front of Feng Ziyao — —
"Zheng Yao`er, Zheng Yao`er, what's wrong with you, did you have asthma again …"
"Mufei, I, I feel so uncomfortable …" He saw that Feng Tang Yao's face was getting uglier and uglier, her entire body was trembling, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
"Your majesty, the hands of Zhuo Yao'er are so cold and icy. She has suffered from asthma, and it's very, very severe. She might even die. Your majesty, for the sake of your concubine and her child, may your majesty forgive me!"
