79 Chapter 79 Exposing the Second Prince (2/2)

”Yes, we have some brothers to clean that up.” Rui said dotingly.

”Also ask someone to carry him along.” Lin Xulian pointed at Feng Jun Yun. Rui coldly looked at him but still do as Lin Xulian said. They then left the courtyard from the back.

Back in the courtyard's entrance, Feng Jun Yi ordered the imperial guards to hold the second prince down. According to their initial knowledge and the reports given, the enemies are from the Jianghu. They don't exactly know what led to this conflict. Feng Jun Yi of course didn't tell them about the empress's abduction. And looking at the aftermath of the fight, they found that the corpses belong to the people of Jianghu. But what puzzled them is the presence of the second prince and some of his personal guards.

One of the ministers finally voiced out his confusion. ”Your majesty, can this servant ask what had happened and why is the second prince being held down?”

”The Lord of Jianghu lured Zhen here using the empress as a threat. But what greeted Zhen was the Involvement of the second prince. They collaborated and tried to kill Zhen to forcefully take the throne. This is clearly treason. Zhen will ask the ministers present to be the witness! The second prince will be stripped off his title and be subjected to trial for treason! Because of our father's decree, Zhen will not kill you but you should expect to receive the worst punishment possible.” Feng Jun Yi diverted the attention from the real reason why they were here, which is Lin Xulian's abduction, towards the second prince's punishment.

But Feng Jun Yu refused to back down. Even if he lost everything today, he will take something together with him. And that is the empress's reputation. He laughed maniacally and gave a mocking glare at Feng Jun Yi. ”You really got me this time, Jun Yi. But you are too late. You should have seen how I feast on your wife, your beloved empress. I even shared her with Lord Gong. During the fight, we even left ten men to enjoy her every last drop! Hahahaha!”

Of course everything was a lie and Feng Jun Yi knows that. But these people didn't know it and would easily believe such lie. This angered him so much that he wanted to kill his brother right here right now despite their father's decree. Lin Huang is also fuming. But a melodious voice broke the stale atmosphere and Feng Jun Yu's laugh halt in an instant.

”Your majesty!” Lin Xulian's voice caught the attention of everyone. And the voice came from behind them. This gave the impression that Lin Xulian came from outside the woods and not inside the courtyard. When she finally reached Feng Jun Yi, she held his hand and looked at him with teary eyes. ”Lian'er is glad that you are fine your majesty. I met the fifth prince when I came back to the palace. He said everyone thought that I was abducted. Sorry, I played outside without permission again and they used it to lure you here. Please forgive Lian'er.”

Seeing her crying face, Feng Jun Yi didn't know what to feel because he knows that it was all an act. But she really looked pitiful and everyone also felt their hearts soften. Well, he just needs to cooperate. He held her cheek and smiled gently. ”No need to apologize Lian'er. Zhen is happy to know that you are actually fine. Even if it was just a fluke, Zhen will never regret that zhen chose to save you.”
