Xiaoyu calmed down her emotions, took a deep breath, and said loudly with a pale face:
"My name is Xiaoyu, a civilian woman. She once had a happy family with a man and a son. But one day, when I was going up the mountain, I met the prince Leng Yun..."
Xiaoyu?
Hearing this name, the emperor's brows tightened. This name was the same as that of his beloved woman... Although they looked different, their fate was the same miserable!
After Xiaoyu briefly explained the process of her encounter with Leng Yun, she continued:
"But... I didn't expect that after he snatched me back to the Prince's Mansion, he actually... brutally killed my man and children, but I was still coaxed by him and kept in the dark. I still hoped that one day The prince was kind-hearted and let me go to reunite with my family, but who would have thought...who would have thought that I would be pregnant unexpectedly."
At this point, Xiaoyu started to cry, and the emperor's face was extremely ugly. Liu Dechang and Yu Shiming who were present looked angry when they heard this.
Luo Lan stared at Xiaoyu, waiting for her to continue speaking.
The emperor looked at Xiaoyu with a livid face, gritted his teeth, nodded, and asked,
"What happened to the child you just mentioned?"
Xiaoyu then raised her sleeves to wipe the tears on her face, and choked again:
"A few days ago, a commoner woman gave birth to a baby boy in the Prince's Mansion. However, the Prince actually strangled me and the nanny next to me that night, threw us in a mass grave, and then took my child as his own, claiming to the outside world that She was born to the Crown Princess, God is merciful, I am lucky, I just fainted and did not die, so I have the opportunity to redress my grievances, come to the Emperor to complain, and beg the Emperor to make decisions for civilian women."
Her words made the emperor look around in confusion, and then asked:
"Tell me, why does the Crown Prince say that your child was born to the Crown Princess? As far as I know, the Crown Princess has just given birth to a baby boy."
"no no."
Hearing this, Xiaoyu lost control of her emotions and shook her head vigorously.
"Wu Linlin is not pregnant at all. The child is mine. It was an illusion created by them. I beg the Emperor to make the decision for the civilian woman and redress the grievances for the civilian woman's dead man and child, as well as Aunt Fang!"
After saying this, Xiaoyu kept kneeling down until her forehead started to bleed, with no intention of stopping.
The emperor's face became extremely ugly at this time. He looked at Xiaoyu who was kowtowing like a pound of garlic, and suddenly said sharply:
"This is just your family's opinion. How do I know whether what you say is true or false? How do I know if you are deliberately framed by the prince?"
Xiaoyu raised her teary eyes, looked at the emperor with blood on her face, and replied hurriedly:
"Returning to the emperor, when the prince killed my man and child, someone witnessed it with his own eyes. He could stand face to face with the prince, and the prince also tried to kill the witness many times."
Hearing this, the emperor's face became even more ugly. He glanced at Leng Yu and shouted sharply:
"I want to go to the Crown Prince's Palace to review this matter myself."
After saying this, the emperor stood up directly without stopping and walked towards the gate of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
In previous years, when the emperor came, he would have a vegetarian meal at the Ancestral Temple, stay here for a night, chant sutras and pray for blessings.
But things were special this year, and he was eager to know whether what this woman said was true or false. Even if he thought Leng Yun was an Adou who couldn't be helped, he didn't believe that he would do such a ridiculous evil thing.
At this time, Leng Yun was sitting in the prince's palace, drinking wine. Wu Linlin ran to him angrily, snatched the wine bottle from his hand, and cursed angrily:
"Didn't you say that if you have a child, the Emperor will pardon you? I, the Crown Princess, can also get a reward from the Emperor based on the value of the mother and the son? Why don't you have anything now? The Emperor didn't even send you any cloth?"
Leng Yun raised his head and glared at her, snatched the wine bottle from her hand again, and snorted with displeasure,
"What right do you have to question me? You are the daughter of a guilty minister. The emperor has already treated you leniently by not assigning you a match. Get out of here."
Hearing this, Wu Linlin put her hands on her hips, stared at him angrily, and asked loudly:
"Leng Yun, don't forget what my grandpa told you before he left. All your hopes are in my grandpa."
"Hmph! Your grandpa is also my grandpa. Besides, he is missing now and may have died somewhere. Wu Linlin, let me tell you, don't show off your power in front of me. I don't want to talk to you because you are my cousin. As a general rule, if you dare to yell or point fingers at me again, I will lock you up directly."
"you dare……"
Wu Linlin stared at him without fear, "If you dare to lock me up, I will make the scandal you have done public. It's best to let the emperor know about it. Let's see how you end up."
"Hahaha……"
Leng Yun suddenly raised his head and laughed, his laughter mixed with resentment.
"Wu Linlin, my father knows about this, and you have also committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Do you think you can scare me?"
"you……"
Wu Linlin stood there and stamped her feet angrily, and roared again:
"And your son, he is just a lunatic. He cries and cries all day long. He is so annoying. If you don't care about him anymore, I will crush him to death."
Hearing this, Leng Yun, who had just lifted the wine bottle, suddenly dropped the wine bottle heavily to the ground, stood up from the chair, and before Wu Linlin could react, he pinched her neck with his hands. , roaring with gnashing teeth,
"I tell you, if you dare to touch my son, I will kill you."
Wu Linlin was frightened by his sudden move, and her mouth and nose were pinched by him, making it difficult to breathe.
She kept trying to pull his hand away with both hands, but she couldn't pull it away at all.
She looked at him with a pale face, a look of horror on her face.
At this moment, the housekeeper hurriedly came to report,
"Your Highness, please let go! The Emperor is coming to the Prince's Mansion."
Hearing this, Leng Yun, who was squeezing Wu Linlin's neck, let go immediately, put his hands on the butler's shoulders, and asked excitedly:
"Really? Father is really here? Is he expecting me to come?"
The housekeeper nodded vigorously, "Yes, he is coming to the Prince's Mansion. He is probably arriving soon. Please be ready to pick him up!"
Leng Yun was suddenly overwhelmed with excitement. He turned around three times, then straightened his clothes, turned around and said to Wu Linlin:
"Hurry back and change the child into beautiful little clothes. He will take it out and show it to Father. It depends on today whether he can turn over."
Wu Linlin had already forgotten the unpleasantness she had just had with Leng Yun, and hurriedly ran to the backyard.
"Father is here. He must be here to see my son. Maybe he will immediately lift my ban when he is happy. It's great, great."
Leng Yun kept pacing in place and mumbling.
After a while, Liu Xi's voice really came in,
"The Emperor has arrived."
Hearing this, Wu Linlin hugged her child, and together with Leng Yun and all the servants from the Prince's Mansion, they knelt down in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion and kowtowed with joy.
"Welcome to your Majesty, Father/Your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at Leng Yun calmly, without saying a word, he passed him directly and walked towards the main hall of the Prince's Mansion.
Seeing this, Leng Yun hurriedly got up from the ground. When he saw Leng Yu, he snorted with his nose and said contemptuously:
"I didn't expect it! I, Leng Yun, am still the prince. I, Leng Yun, also gave birth to a son, continuing the legacy of the royal family... Hahaha..."
After leaving these words, he raised his head and walked towards the main hall with excitement on his face like a general who had won a battle.
