Chapter 348 Dirty Thoughts
As soon as Que Huaiying's true face appeared, Xiao Fengli's face changed drastically and he instantly lost his usual composure.
Uncle...why has he been hiding beside mother all this time?
The emperor's face was terribly gloomy. He looked at Concubine De and said in a cold voice, "Concubine De, do you have anything to say?"
As if she had found another opportunity to show off her skills, Concubine De said in defense, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I really didn't know that the eunuch beside me was someone else in disguise. I hope Your Majesty can investigate it clearly."
The emperor sneered and looked at Xiao Fengli, "Ali, tell me, do you know who this person is?"
Xiao Fengli glanced at Que Huaiying, a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes, "I have never seen this person before."
Que Huaiying laughed at himself and his face turned even paler.
"Pa" the emperor slammed the table in front of him with his palm, and everyone's heart trembled.
His face twisted slightly, "Don't cry until you see the coffin, all of you come out."
As the emperor finished speaking, the curtain slowly opened and two women walked in.
One is Jiang Sirong, and the other is Song Wei wearing a veil.
The moment Xiao Fengli saw the veiled woman, his pupils suddenly shrank and his expression became extremely ugly.
"Your humble servant Jiang Sirong pays respect to His Majesty."
"I, Song Wei, greet your majesty."
The emperor waved his hand for the two to stand up and looked at Yao Jia, "Lord Nangong, I heard that on the third day after you and Lord Gu got married, your carriage hit a beggar on the street corner. Is this true?"
Yao Jia stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and replied: "Your Majesty, it is true. On that day, Xi Yan and I returned home after three days of court. On the way back, we encountered a ragged woman lying on the ground. We sent her to the Hall of All Beings for treatment, but the woman remained unconscious and had a large area of burns on her face. After she woke up after treatment, she left without saying goodbye."
Yao Jia glanced at the veiled woman and asked, "Could it be that Miss Song Wei is the one that my carriage hit that day?"
At this time, Jiang Sirong chuckled at Yao Jia, "Pavilion Master Nangong, the person you saved that day was actually me."
Yao Jia let out an exaggerated "Ah" with a puzzled look on her face, "No, that's not right, Concubine, weren't you in Prince Ping's mansion at that time? Have you forgotten that on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, you and Prince Ping's carriage overturned on the street. We saw it, and the woman was still being treated in the Hall of All Beings at that time..."
He looked at her in horror and smiled: "Could it be that you can clone yourself?"
"Puchi" the veiled woman laughed out loud, raised her hand to remove the veil, revealing a beautiful and refined face.
This face is exactly the same as Jiang Sirong's.
The two of them standing together are like twin lotus flowers, indistinguishable from each other.
The emperor looked up and was in a daze for a moment. If he had not known in advance that it was the work of the ghost doctor, he would have suspected that Duke Jiang had given birth to twins.
Song Wei bowed to the emperor and spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, two years ago, I was just a little bit similar to Miss Jiang in my facial features. One day, I met His Royal Highness Prince Ping, and he invited me to have tea a few times. I became obsessed with him and agreed to all his requests. I endured the inhuman pain and had my face replaced by Doctor Que."
The emperor naturally knew why Song Wei let Xiao Fengli do whatever he wanted.
"After my face recovered, Prince Ping took me back to the palace to replace Miss Jiang. He also asked me to seduce Prince Rui so that Your Majesty would hate him even more and get the throne."
As Song Wei finished speaking, the entire tent fell into deathly silence.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the two women with stunning looks, especially Xiao Fengli, whose face turned from blue to white, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant.
The emperor's eyes became extremely complicated. He looked at Jiang Sirong, then turned to Song Wei, as if trying to distinguish the difference between the two.
Finally, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "King Ping, do you have anything else to say?"
Xiao Fengli's body trembled slightly. He looked up at the emperor, his eyes full of sincere pleading.
"Father, I know I was wrong, but I was deceived by the ghost doctor, so I made such a big mistake. Please forgive me for this being my first offense."
The emperor looked at him coldly, "Didn't you just say you didn't recognize Que Huaiying?"
"Your son..." Xiao Fengli met the emperor's cold gaze, his heart trembled violently, and he could not utter a word.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "You colluded with Que Huaiying, deceived the royal family, and intended to overthrow the throne of the crown prince. How can such a crime be treated as a first offense?"
"Your Majesty! All the mistakes are my fault. Ali is innocent. It was my idea, all my idea." Defei knelt on the ground, tears already streaming down her face, and kowtowed several times.
Although he knew that the situation was hopeless and he could no longer argue, he still wanted to fight for his only son's chance of survival.
"Your Majesty, I know my crime and I am willing to die to atone for it. I only ask Your Majesty to forgive A Li. He has been weak since he was a child. Your Majesty, have you forgotten... forgotten your promise? As long as I help Concubine Qi give birth to a child smoothly, you will agree to one of my requests. Now I want you to fulfill your promise. Your words are not joking!"
The emperor closed his eyes. Nangong Wanning had calculated that he and Ayan could not have children, but Ayan refused to believe it.
Hearing that Concubine De had a secret recipe that could help her have a child, she asked for it to try. She did get pregnant, but she almost died during the delivery. It was Concubine De who helped her give birth to Achen.
He was so overjoyed at the time that he promised her something.
The emperor was silent for a moment, and finally waved his hand: "The commoner Miao colluded with the gangsters to murder the emperor, and his crime is unforgivable, but considering that he has served for many years and has confessed his crime, I will give you a cup of poisoned wine, so that your body will remain intact."
Upon hearing this, Concubine De heaved a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. At least Ali could be saved.
He kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
The emperor looked at Que Huaiying and said coldly, "Devil Doctor Que Huaiying, although he has excellent medical skills, he uses them to help people do evil. The assassination of Emperor Si is an unforgivable crime. I will sentence him to death by slicing to serve as a warning to others! Do you disagree?"
Que Huaiying glanced at Xiao Fengli and smiled with relief, "Que is not dissatisfied."
The emperor finally looked at Xiao Fengli, "As for you, although you still have the title of prince, you are not allowed to stay in Kyoto. After returning from the enclosure, you should go to your fiefdom and reflect on your mistakes. Without the emperor's order, you are not allowed to leave your fiefdom. The crime committed by your mother is directly related to you, but I will let you go because you are my child!"
Xiao Fengli's face turned pale as paper, but he knew that the situation was irreversible, so he could only kowtow and thank the emperor: "Your Majesty, I accept your order. Thank you for not killing me."
The emperor waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Yao Jia looked at the haggard figure on the podium, struggling over whether or not to reveal that Xiao Li was not of royal blood.
Although I feel sorry for him, if I don't defeat the enemy in one move, after tonight, there is no guarantee that Xiao Fengli will come back again.
But once the emperor's cuckoldry was exposed, the Nangong family would be wiped out without any curses.
While he was struggling, Jiang Sirong knelt down with a plop and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I want to report Xiao Fengli for coveting my sister and attempting incest!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire tent fell into shock.
Yao Jia had not expected Jiang Sirong to do this.
An He had a gossipy look on his face, swinging his neck back and forth between Jiang Sirong and Xiao Fengli.
My dear sister! My dear sister! My dear sister? !!!
There was a "click" sound and the neck was twisted.
The emperor's face suddenly changed, and his eyes shot towards Xiao Fengli like a knife. The air seemed to freeze, and it was so quiet that only the occasional sound of the wind outside could be heard.
"Jiang Sirong, what do you mean? Tell me quickly!" The emperor's voice was low and majestic, revealing unquestionable anger.
Jiang Sirong took a deep breath, looked at the emperor firmly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, although I am a concubine in Prince Ping's mansion, except for that one time when I was fooling around with His Highness in the palace, he has never touched me since then. Before the peace envoy returned, he even let the secret guard who gave me to him play with me for nearly half a month."
