Ying Chunshan had a cold look on his face: "You are trying to murder the entire Ying family. For the sake of the Ying family's face and for the hundreds of Ying family members, do you think I dare to do it?"
You can say that he is selfish, you can say that he is a coward, you can say that his interests come first.
But it is undeniable that as the head of the Ying family, he has never forgotten the responsibilities on his shoulders!
Pei Shuyun's breath suffocated: "You..."
He was speechless and subconsciously looked at Pei Jun.
But when it came to this scene, Pei Jun didn't even criticize Ying Chunshan!
Ying Chunshan said again: "Bingrong, come here and see if this is your sister?"
"Yes, father." Ying Bingrong came over and took a look, then couldn't bear to look away.
How could you not recognize the sister you have loved since childhood?
In fact, their whole family naturally recognized them!
At this time, Ying Bingrong also knew: Mother lied!
So, this divorce letter...
He didn't say anything, and Ying Chunshan didn't push him. Finally, he looked at Pei Jun: "Brother-in-law, don't say that I, Ying, don't give face to your Pei family. You and your wife have always loved Caiyue. Even if her face is scratched, they still don't care. It’s not like you can’t recognize it, right?”
Pei Jun actually doesn't even need to look.
After all, Ying Chunshan and his son had seen it, and their attitude was already obvious.
Although Pei Shuyun said she didn't recognize her, from her appearance, the eldest brother knew very well: she was indeed lying!
So today, Ying Chunshan really wants to break up with the Pei family and divorce Pei Shuyun?
Alas, what is this?
Pei Jun said nothing, and the prince over there urged: "Pei Qing, I order you to tell the truth!"
No matter how much he wanted to protect his sister, Pei Jun would not dare to fool the prince on such a matter.
Pei Shuyun lied, and it was enough to place the blame on her. Preserving the foundation of the Pei family was the most important thing.
Otherwise, if the lie is exposed later, the Pei family...
Can't afford to pay!
"Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince." He cupped his hands towards the Crown Prince and said, "Although this woman's face is damaged, the proportions of her eyebrows and facial features are indeed very similar to those of my niece from the Ying family. But she is indeed seriously injured. I don't think so. Dare to assert it!"
Yan Peiyu interrupted at the right time: "Obviously, this injury was just caused. Does this mean that there is no three hundred taels of silver here?"
Yan Yi's eyes were dim and he looked towards Concubine Lu and said: "If it is really Caiyue of the Ying family, she should be the abandoned wife of the eldest emperor brother. The imperial edict banished her to the countryside and ordered her not to return to the capital. Hello, Concubine Lu. How dare you bring this person into the palace!"
Concubine Lu felt terrified when he saw her.
She thought about it, what Xu Jiaoniang did was very beautiful, and the only person pretending to be Chuan Bei was dead without any evidence.
If the prince wants to find out the truth about the murder of the princess and wants to take advantage of her, it is impossible!
but!
She didn't expect that the prince would not take that road!
If he turns a corner, he can still kill himself!
The Queen Mother also spoke: "Concubine Lu, you are despising the Holy Will and harboring royal sinners! We need to invite the Emperor to come over for this matter!"
Yan Yi continued this and said: "Such a thing will not cause the emperor to run away. We will escort him to the imperial study and ask the emperor to make the decision!"
The prince gave an order, and a large group of people headed towards the imperial study.
Royal study room.
After listening to the speech, Emperor Yan Hongzhi was silent for a long time.
In front of him, the Queen Mother was sitting, Yan Yi and Yan Peiyu were standing, and everyone else was kneeling!
Concubine Lu originally thought: She must cry to the emperor about this matter and ask him to make the decision for her.
But when she arrived in front of the emperor, she was so stunned that she didn't dare to say a word!
"Concubine Lu."
The emperor finally spoke, and Concubine Lu was the first to ask: "Tell me the truth, who is this Xu Jiaoniang who saved your life?"
Don't be angry, be intimidating, unpredictable, and very penetrating!
Concubine Lu knelt on the cold ground, trembling all over: "Concubine... Concubine... Concubine..."
He hesitated, and finally said: "I don't even know!"
Then, she passed out!
Concubine Lu's health has always been poor. She has been lingering on the sickbed for so many years. It is normal for her to faint.
The emperor frowned and said, "Mr. Xuan."
Then, his eyes focused on Ying Chunshan's face: "Grand Master, the Crown Prince identified this girl as your concubine, what do you say?"
Ying Chunshan also knelt on the ground and said: "I am ashamed of my lord! How can I not recognize my own daughter? Looking at it, it is indeed my little girl Caiyue!"
Pei Shuyun felt anxious.
She wanted to say: No! That's not Caiyue!
However, just now she dared to say "I don't know" in Concubine Lu's palace, but in front of the emperor, she would not dare to say this no matter what!
Having said that, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor!
She couldn't faint like Concubine Lu, so she just cried.
But crying can't solve any problems!
Yan Hongzhi said again: "Mrs. Ying, you have a royal decree and are the imperial wife, so you should know the general situation! If this girl is indeed Ying's Caiyue, as the one who raised her, you shouldn't be unable to recognize her! "
Yan Yi added later: "Or, for such a small matter, do we need to find more witnesses to identify her as an abandoned woman?"
At this point, Pei Shuyun has no way out!
She kowtowed to the emperor and said, "My wife, tell the truth, she is indeed my little girl Caiyue!"
Both parents recognized Ying Caiyue’s identity!
Ying Caiyue also wanted to faint.
But even though her face was so injured and the pain was so painful that she never fainted.
Pretending to be dizzy?
In the situation at hand, what's the use of pretending to be dizzy?
The emperor was indeed furious with thunder!
"That's unreasonable!" He slammed the inkstone on the table forward and said, "Ms. Ying, you decide for yourself whether you admit guilt or not!"
Ying Caiyue really wanted to deny it.
After all, she had already paid such a high price for being disfigured, she couldn't gain nothing at all!
But the emperor added: "If I have to go through a lot of trouble to investigate such a small case! Then the Ying family and the Pei family, are you tired of the court?"
Hearing this, the expressions of Ying Chunshan, his son, and Pei Jun changed. They immediately kowtowed and said in unison: "I dare not!"
"Father, my son proposed: torture to extract a confession!" Yan Yi said expressionlessly.
The emperor ordered: "If anyone comes, he will be punished and served with fifty big boards!"
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath inwardly.
How could a weak woman bear fifty boards?
If you die under the ban, it doesn't matter whether you confess or not!
Pei Shuyun couldn't bear such a blow and cried: "Caiyue! Just do it! Please be merciful to the emperor and give me leniency!"
Ying Caiyue: "!!"
This is here to hold her back!
Now that the matter has come to this, there is naturally no way to recover.
at last--
Ying Caiyue admitted that she was Ying Caiyue, who happened to save Concubine Lu at Jingshui Village. Because she was poisoned, she defected to Concubine Lu.
She confessed that she was the one who deceived Concubine Lu and persuaded Concubine Lu to take her back to the palace with her sweet words. She bore all the blame alone and begged the emperor to give Concubine Lu a lenient sentence.
Because by keeping Concubine Lu, there might be a chance of getting him out.
No one else can be counted on!
Concubine Lu, who "woke up" at the right time, didn't know the truth and was immediately moved.
The emperor issued an order: "Put the convict Ying Caiyue into death row, and she will be beheaded by the Empress in Autumn!"
