C478 Emperor grace (1/2)
What...
This... How could that be?
Feng Lingyue suddenly turned to look at Feng Yunyao. When she was in the Sky Prison, she had thought about the possibility that the toads were a prank from Thirteenth Sister, but the result was quite serious, and she was afraid of being exposed and being punished by her father, so she didn't dare to admit it.
She'd never imagined that Thirteenth Sister's goal was to get rid of her and be with Xiao He.
”Thirteenth Sister, is this true?” Feng Lingyue, whose eyes were as clear as the stars, stared at Feng Yunyao and asked with a trembling voice.
Feng Ziyao's face was pale white, and her body was trembling slightly. She clenched her hands into fists, and stood up shakily. Her heart was heaving up and down, and large tears rolled down her face.
”Sister Eleven, why are you so easily provoked by an imperial physician? Don't tell me you have no trust in your younger sister at all? So your little sister is such a malicious person in your heart? Is my sister someone who is shameless because of a man? ”
Xiao He looked at her coldly. Compared to Mu Ru Yue'er, Princess Thirteen was much more scheming. After being accused, not only did she have to get rid of her suspicions, she also unconsciously pushed the blame on Mu Ru Yue'er, pointing to her easily suspecting sisterhood.
Hehe, this number of flowers … I'm afraid Yue'er won't be able to catch up to them for the rest of her life.
Sure enough, Yue'er was thrown off guard. She gave a start. ”This, you, that's not what I meant. It's just that Imperial Physician Liang said …”
Feng Tang Yao turned to look at Imperial Physician Liang again. Step by step, she approached the kneeling Imperial Physician Liang. Every step she took seemed so difficult, so pitiful and pitiful.
”Imperial Physician Liang, W-what are you saying?” ”When did I ask you to do such a malicious act? You, it's fine if you almost caused me to die, but in order to protect yourself, you … you're still …” She was so excited that she began to pant heavily, looking like she was about to faint, her face pale.
Yao'er …” ”Your body hasn't completely recovered yet. Don't get too excited. If you didn't do it, then you didn't. Could it be that there's anyone in the world who can wrongly accuse you in front of the emperor?” He suddenly turned his head, his sharp eyes fixed on Imperial Physician Liang as he scolded, ”Imperial Physician Liang, my mother's trust in you was in vain. You treat Tang Yao and me, and I will reward you generously.
”Esteemed Empress, Princess Thirteen, you can't ah … You can't accuse a lowly official like me. How could a lowly imperial physician like me possibly harm the princess' heart? Besides, the princess has no enmity with me, so I …” Imperial Physician Liang was anxious to defend himself.
”Pah!” ”You still dare to lie? When the empress was in charge of the imperial harem, she punished you before, so you kept holding a grudge. Now that the empress has fallen, you saw your chance and started taking revenge. What I said, was it correct?”
”Esteemed Empress, although the empress has punished this lowly one, this lowly one has never harmed the heart of the Eleventh Princess!” He had interacted with Lian Zhaoyi for more than ten years, and only now did he realize just how frightening and powerful she was. A small matter that had happened several years ago when the empress had punished him could actually happen to her, and she remembered it so clearly!
As Feng Lingyue looked at them, she suddenly felt at a loss. The wronged expressions on Thirteenth Sister and Lian Zhaoyi's faces, could it really be that Imperial Physician Liang had pushed the blame onto Thirteenth Sister just to protect himself?
Xiao He saw the hesitation on Feng Lingyue's face and helplessly shook his head. This silly girl, it was really hard to imagine how she managed to live safely in the palace in the past. It was probably because of her identity as the empress's princess that she was protected all these years.
Now, once she lost the protection of the empress, she would begin to be framed.
Xiao He looked coldly at the mother and daughter. He had long since thought that they would push all the blame onto Imperial Physician Liang. This was the usual practice of the master of the palace —
If this matter had been discovered by them long ago, they would have thought of a hundred ways to make Imperial Physician Liang willingly take on these crimes. It was just that they had kept the matter a secret during their investigation, and now that things had suddenly developed, Imperial Physician Liang had lost her mind from his threatening words.
He had forgotten that even if Zhaoyi and Feng Ziyao were to commit the crime, he would still not be able to escape his doom!
And now, the only way to decide whether or not Feng Yunyao and Lian Zhaoyi would be punished was to see the extent of Zhou Chengdi's trust and preference towards them. To retort like that, one had to see how indifferent and indifferent he would be to Yue'er, and whether or not he would just watch her being wrongly accused without caring about it.
