Chapter 98 Snake bites snake
Hu Yunshen was beaten by Prime Minister Chen and rolled around with his head in his hands.
The others did not dare to stop him.
The emperor looked dignified, pointing at Hu Yunshen and angrily scolding: "Such behavior is absurd, you really deserve to die, and this Liang Yunyan pretended to be a soldier's widow, which is an even greater crime."
"Come here, pass on my order, take these two..."
Before the emperor could finish his words, Liang Yunyan rushed over and knelt at his feet.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Please listen to what I have to say. The eldest daughter I gave birth to is not Hu Yunshen's."
Everyone frowned, and Hu Mianmian looked at her appraisingly.
What does this bad guy want to do?
Concubine Shu sneered: "What do you want to prove by saying this?"
Liang Yunyan said aggrievedly: "Although I am an orphan, I once had a life-saving grace from a man, and I injured my shoulder for that man, and even married him without knowing why."
"But that man disappeared shortly after the wedding, and I found out I was pregnant. At that time, Hu Yunshen led his troops through and stationed near the village. Because he saw that I was pretty and an orphan, he forcibly took my body in the woods."
As she said this, the envoy from the Futu Kingdom, who had just spoken for them, stared at her with his eagle-like eyes.
Hu Yunshen roared with his thick neck: "You are talking nonsense! Liang Yunyan, how dare you lie?"
If he hadn't been held back by the imperial guards, he would have rushed forward.
Liang Yunyan ignored him, just covered her face and sobbed.
"After I gave myself to him, I still missed my previous husband. But Hu Yunshen was a general at the time, and I had nothing. I couldn't afford to offend him, so I was forced to obey him."
"After giving birth to my eldest daughter, I was forced to give birth to my youngest son. In fact, I had wanted to leave for a long time, but Hu Yunshen disagreed."
"He promised me several times that he would make me his concubine after driving away my mistress Chen Qingyin. But I know that Hu Yunshen is only using me and my mistress."
Having said this, she burst into tears, turned towards Chen Qingyin, and kowtowed slowly.
"Madam, I was wrong to target you before. If you want to blame someone, blame Hu Yunshen. He has been saying bad things about you in front of me and trying to sow discord between me and you."
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I dare not hide anything!" Liang Yunyan wiped her tears.
Hu Mianmian had been using her magic power on her just now, trying to make her tell the truth.
But she found that it was easy for Hu Yunshen to speak his mind just now, but Liang Yunyan was clear-headed.
Hu Mianmian is still young, and her magic power is not strong enough to control everyone's hearts.
From this we can see that Liang Yunyan's character is much stronger than Hu Yunshen's.
In other words, she will not give in easily and is a mean and stubborn person.
Chen Qingyin sniffed: "How do I know whether what you said is true or not? You and Hu Yunshen have teamed up to deceive me. This is not the first time, right?"
Concubine Shu held Chen Qingyin's hand and said coldly, "Why waste your time talking to her? Maybe the child is Hu Yunshen's, and she has to make up a story that she was forced to serve him in order to escape punishment."
The emperor nodded and said, "My beloved concubine is right. Since Liang Yunyan insists that the child is not Hu Yunshen's, come and bring some clean water. I want to see what else is going on."
Hu Yunshen went from being angry to laughing wildly.
He stared at Liang Yunyan: "I've seen that you are a habitual liar. We're going to do a blood test soon. I wonder how you can argue."
Liang Yunyan wiped her tears and said nothing.
Liang Ruosheng, who was standing next to her, was a little flustered.
She was reborn, she couldn't just die here again without enjoying any happiness, right?
"Mom, you..." Liang Ruosheng was stopped by Liang Yunyan's eyes before she could finish her words.
After a while, the eunuch brought some clean water. Hu Yunshen cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood into the water.
Liang Ruosheng's face turned pale and the eunuch squeezed a drop of blood from his finger.
Then, the bowls were placed in the middle and everyone watched with bated breath.
Hu Mianmian noticed that the envoy from the Futu Kingdom was the most concerned. His eyes were like an eagle, tightly fixed on the bowl and cup.
After a moment, the chief eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty, the two drops of blood have not merged!" Hu Yunshen was struck by lightning. He suddenly looked at Liang Yunyan, who gave him a mocking look.
It turns out that Liang Ruosheng is really not his daughter?
Liang Ruosheng herself was dumbfounded.
"Then... whose child am I?" From Liang Yunyan's description, the other party seemed to be a desperado!
If his status was not as high as Hu Yunshen's, Liang Ruosheng might as well kill himself.
At this moment, the envoy of the Futu Kingdom finally stood up.
He looked at Liang Yunyan: "Can I see the wound on your shoulder, what does it look like?"
Liang Yunyan wiped away her tears, pretended to be pitiful, and showed her shoulders to everyone.
There was a scar that went through the shoulder blade and a raised scar on the back, which was very ugly.
Liang Yunyan said aggrievedly: "I was shot by an arrow for my husband, so I have this scar."
The messenger's pupils tightened.
Prime Minister Chen saw that he was going to plead for Liang Yunyan, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Hu Yunshen deceived a woman's feelings, and Liang Yunyan pretended to be a soldier's widow. The two of them committed fraud, and their crimes are aggravated. They should be executed immediately!"
Concubine Shu also chimed in: "Your Majesty, don't forget that in Hu Yunshen's previous corruption case, Liang Yunyan must have benefited a lot from it, and all the money was embezzled by them."
The emperor looked serious and was about to give an order.
The envoy from the Futu Kingdom hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed to ask, "Your Majesty, may I have a word with you?"
The emperor looked at him, nodded, and the two went to the side hall.
After a while, the eunuch came out and walked in front of Ning Guanzhou.
"Master Prime Minister, the Emperor invites you in."
Chen Qingyin's heart tightened.
Why was this matter related to Ning Guanzhou? Could it be that he was seen by someone when he took action?
Ning Guanzhou nodded and gave Chen Qingyin a reassuring look as he passed by her.
There was charcoal fire burning in the hall, but everyone was absent-minded, waiting for the result in silence.
Hu Yunshen looked at Liang Yunyan with hatred on his face.
"Bitch, I won't let you have it easy!"
Liang Yunyan turned a deaf ear to it.
After all, in her eyes, Hu Yunshen was already a dying man.
Chen Qingyin saw their relationship and found it ridiculous.
Both of them are venomous snakes, but Liang Yunyan bites back faster.
After a while, Ning Guanzhou, the emperor and others came out together.
The emperor's face showed no emotion and he said nothing. Instead, the envoy from the Futu Kingdom stepped forward and pulled Liang Yunyan up.
"The emperor agrees that you two can leave with me. Let's go." After he said that, he bowed to the emperor and left with Liang Yunyan and Liang Ruosheng, who looked confused.
Concubine Shu was anxious: "Why are they leaving?!"
The emperor had always been very fond of Concubine Shu, and it was rare for him to scold her this time.
"That's enough! My beloved, since you don't know what happened, please don't make it public for now."
Concubine Shu was surprised. What did she say to make the emperor's attitude change so quickly?
Ning Guanzhou looked at Chen Qingyin and gave her a look that warned her not to act rashly.
Hu Mianmian understood.
Oh no, it seems that Liang Yunyan has accidentally found a powerful partner this time.
