Xiaoyu sorted out her emotions, took a deep breath, and said loudly with a pale face:

"My name is Xiaoyu. I once had a happy family with a husband and a son. But one day, when I was going up the mountain, I met the Crown Prince Leng Yun..."

Xiaoyu?

Upon hearing this name, the emperor frowned. This name was the same as his beloved woman... Although they looked different, their fates were equally miserable!

Xiaoyu briefly explained the process of her encounter with Leng Yun and continued:

"But...but I never imagined that after he took me back to the Crown Prince's Mansion, he would actually...actually brutally kill my husband and child. I was still deceived by him and kept in the dark. I was still hoping that one day the Crown Prince would be kind and release me, so that I could reunite with my family. But who would have thought...who would have thought that I would unexpectedly become pregnant."

At this point, Xiaoyu began to cry softly, and the emperor's face became extremely ugly. When Liu Dechang and Yu Shiming, who were present, heard this, they all looked angry.

Luo Lan looked at Xiaoyu, waiting for her to continue speaking.

The emperor looked at Xiaoyu with a sullen expression, gritted his teeth and nodded, while asking,

"What's going on with the child you just mentioned?"

Xiaoyu then raised her sleeve to wipe the tears from her face and choked up again:

"A few days ago, I gave birth to a baby boy in the Crown Prince's mansion. But that very night, the Crown Prince strangled me and my nanny to death and dumped us in a mass grave. He then claimed my child as his own, claiming it was the Crown Princess's. Thank goodness, I was lucky enough to faint, not die. This is the opportunity to redress my grievances. I'm here before the Emperor to file this complaint, and I beg you to help me."

Her words made the emperor look around in confusion, then he asked:

"Tell me, why did the Crown Prince say that your child was born to the Crown Princess? As far as I know, the Crown Princess also just gave birth to a baby boy."

"No, no."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu shook her head vigorously, a little out of control.

"Wu Linlin was not pregnant at all. The child is mine. It was all a false illusion. I beg the Emperor to seek justice for me and redress the injustice done to my deceased husband and child, as well as Nanny Fang!"

After saying this, Xiaoyu kept kneeling until her forehead was bleeding, and she showed no intention of stopping.

The emperor's expression turned extremely ugly at this moment. He looked at Xiaoyu who was kowtowing like pounding garlic, and suddenly said in a stern voice:

"This is just your personal opinion. How can I know if what you said is true or false? How can I know if you are deliberately framing the Crown Prince?"

Xiaoyu raised her tearful eyes, looked at the emperor with blood all over her face, and hurriedly replied:

"In reply to the Emperor, when the Crown Prince murdered my husband and child, someone witnessed it with his own eyes. He was able to confront the Crown Prince face to face, and the Crown Prince repeatedly threatened to kill that witness."

Hearing this, the emperor's expression became even uglier. He glanced at Leng Yu and shouted sternly:

"Go to the Crown Prince's Mansion. I want to personally review this matter."

After saying this, the emperor did not linger for long. He stood up and walked towards the gate of the Taimiao.

In previous years, when the emperor came, he would have a vegetarian meal in the Taimiao, stay here overnight, and chant scriptures and pray for blessings.

But this year was special, and he was eager to know whether what this woman said was true or false. Even though he thought Leng Yun was a hopeless person, he didn't believe that he would do such a ridiculous and evil thing.

At this time, Leng Yun was sitting in the Prince's Mansion drinking alone. Wu Linlin ran to him angrily, snatched the wine jug from his hand, and angrily scolded him:

"Didn't you say that if you had a child, the Emperor would pardon you, and that I, the Crown Princess, would also receive the Emperor's reward because of my status as a mother of a child? Why is there nothing now? The Emperor hasn't even sent any cloth?"

Leng Yun looked up at her and glared at her. He snatched the wine jug from her hand again and snorted with displeasure.

"What right do you have to question me? You are the daughter of a criminal. The emperor has shown you mercy by not exiling you. 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 rest with my grandpa."

"Hmph! Your grandpa is also my grandpa. Besides, he's nowhere to be found now. Maybe he's dead somewhere. Wu Linlin, I'm telling you, don't show off in front of me. I won't argue with you because you're my cousin. If you dare to yell at me or point fingers at me again, I'll lock you up."

“You dare…”

Wu Linlin glared at him fearlessly. "If you dare to lock me up, I'll expose your ugly deeds to the world. It would be best if the emperor knew about it too. Let's see how you end up."

"Hahaha……"

Leng Yun suddenly threw his head back and laughed, his laughter mixed with resentment.

"Wu Linlin, if the emperor knows about this, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor. Do you think you can scare me?"

"you……"

Wu Linlin stood there stomping her feet in anger and roared again:

"And your son is a complete lunatic, crying all the time. It's so annoying. If you don't take care of him, I'll crush him to death."

Hearing this, Leng Yun, who had just lifted the wine jug, suddenly dropped it heavily to the ground and stood up from the chair. Before Wu Linlin could react, he grabbed her neck with his hands and roared with gritted teeth.

"I'm telling you, if you dare to touch my son, I'll kill you."
