Who is kneeling?
At Emperor Li Hongwen's prompting, Eunuch Liu asked in a high-pitched voice.
"I am Geng Yuan, a servant of His Highness the Wise Prince."
"This servant is Yuemei, a maidservant in the Prince Xian's mansion."
Geng Yuan and Yue Mei were extremely respectful, but they dared not even glance at "Blood Purple Rose".
"Geng Yuan, Yue Mei, were you two present during the riot at the Prince Xian's residence?"
The Emperor, Li Hongwen, sternly questioned him.
"I was there."
"This servant is present."
Both of them had their eyelids lowered and were lying on the ground, looking as if they had been greatly frightened.
"King Lin accused Princess Longxuan of abusing Prince Xian, while Princess Longxuan said that King Lin humiliated Prince Xian. What's going on?"
Li Hongwen spoke in a deep voice, his eyes cold and piercing.
"He will not let anyone who humiliates his son get away with it."
Upon hearing that the current Emperor Li Hongwen had inquired, Geng Yuan and Yue Mei exchanged a glance, their gazes simultaneously sweeping over "Blood Purple Rose" and Prince Lin.
"Blood Purple Rose" seemed to have a clear conscience.
King Lin's eyes were sinister.
"You two should think this through before you speak, otherwise..."
Li Muchen deliberately left his words unfinished, and Empress Dowager Feng Xiuzhen spoke again.
"To slander my descendants is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family. I believe you two should know how to say it."
The threat was obvious, and Li Mufeng immediately lost his temper.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Slandering Prince Lin is a capital offense, but does slandering my Princess Consort not also constitute a capital offense?"
"You two don't need to be afraid. With me and the Emperor protecting you, as long as you tell the truth, no one will dare to do anything to you."
After speaking, he glared defiantly at Empress Dowager Feng Xiuzhen.
"Your Majesty, look at Feng'er. Is this what I meant? Prince Lin is my descendant, and so is Feng'er. If it were Feng'er who was wronged today, I would say the same thing."
Feng Xiuzhen, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice, complained to Emperor Li Hongwen.
"Alright, Feng'er, since you're not involved, you should say less and let the person involved speak for themselves."
Li Hongwen appeared to be taking a neutral stance, but in reality, he was afraid that the Feng family would hold a grudge against his son, Li Mufeng.
Seeing that Li Mufeng remained silent, Li Hongwen then spoke again.
"As long as you two tell the truth, I will take care of you."
"It was...it was Princess Longxuan who...she...insulted Prince Xian."
The two stammered, and finally both pointed their trembling hands at "Blood Purple Rose".
"No...no, you two...good...very good, I shouldn't have meddled and let that scumbag kill you, and also beat that stupid prince to death."
"Blood Purple Rose" was furious. Why is it so hard to be a good person? It's true that good people don't get good rewards. She started to speak recklessly.
Empress Dowager Fengxiu was overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, did you hear that? In front of so many people, Princess Longxuan dared to scold Prince Xian. What else wouldn't she dare to do?"
"I beg Father to severely punish Princess Longxuan to avenge my elder brother, and also to punish Fengxu. He cannot die without a clear explanation, Father!"
King Rin also knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to grant justice for my son! Waaah..."
The family of Feng Jiao, the Vice Minister of Revenue, burst into tears again.
"I beg Your Majesty to severely punish Princess Longxuan and avenge my grandson. Furthermore, Prince Longxuan's act of condoning his wife's violence is unforgivable."
Grand Tutor Fengyi was even more ruthless, dragging Li Mufeng down with him.
The sycophants shouted even louder, creating a deafening roar.
"I beg Your Majesty to kill Princess Longxuan."
...
The loud shouts echoed three times throughout the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Your Majesty, why haven't you issued the decree yet?"
Empress Dowager Fengxiu was like a death knell; Emperor Li Hongwen sighed.
"Since that's the case, Ziwei, don't blame me for being ruthless. Considering that you once saved me, I'll postpone your execution until after autumn!"
"Father..."
Upon hearing this, Li Mufeng was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Emperor Li Hongwen's raised hand.
"You asked me to issue the decree for divorce before, and I originally intended to give it to you tomorrow. Since all the court officials are here today, Eunuch Zhou, you may issue it! I am tired. If you have anything to say, please speak; otherwise, the court is adjourned."
"You actually want a divorce? Well, that's right. Now that I've made such a huge mess, it's the right thing for you to stay away from me."
At this moment, "Blood Purple Rose" had a misty look in her eyes.
"No, Ziwei, this wasn't my intention, I was..."
Li Mufeng originally intended to give "Xue Ziwei" freedom and let her stay away from the court's strife. Now that she has caused such a big mess, the Feng family will naturally not let her go. He could not possibly let her go unattended. He originally planned to tell his father after court to withdraw the imperial decree for divorce, but his father announced the decree ahead of time.
Holding the imperial decree of divorce in her hand, "Blood Purple Rose" suddenly realized that she was all alone once again.
"cough!"
Li Hongwen sighed and was about to get up and leave when he heard an extremely arrogant voice.
"Drink it! Hurry up and drink my piss, or I'll beat you to death, you idiot, hahaha..."
"Don't be so rude. He's still my brother, after all. You have to give me some face. You can't just make him drink urine; you have to make him eat shit too, hahaha..."
...
It was the voice of Feng Xu, the son of Prince Li Muchen and Feng Jiao, the Vice Minister of Revenue.
"this……"
The officials searched in disbelief for the source of the sound, and even Emperor Li Hongwen stopped in his tracks.
"Lord Feng has mobilized troops without authorization. Does he have an order from the Emperor?"
"My uncle is the Vice Minister of War. Does he need the Emperor's permission to mobilize troops?"
"Lord Feng, are you not afraid of being punished by the Emperor for mobilizing troops without authorization?"
"So what if we mobilize troops without permission? We have the Empress Dowager backing us up. Even the Emperor wouldn't dare do anything to the Feng family. Prepare to die..."
...
One treasonous word after another came from a small silver-white object in "Blood Purple Star's" hand.
"What's this?"
Li Mufeng asked, puzzled.
"This is a voice recorder that can record everything the person says."
"Blood Purple Rose" was just saying it for fun, and then said something...
"If only I had a voice recorder to record these brilliant words, maybe I could find these scumbags and extort some money from them."
Unexpectedly, the system was so helpful that she actually had a voice recorder in her hand, which came in handy today.
"If it weren't for this recording pen, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River."
Thinking this, "Blood Purple Rose" stared fearlessly at Emperor Li Hongwen.
“I have no witnesses, nor money to bribe any witnesses.”
However, based on what the person involved said, the Emperor is probably not a foolish ruler, and he should be able to distinguish right from wrong.
I believe everyone in this hall can tell whose voice it is, so I will say no more. Believe it or not, it's up to you.
As for the divorce papers, I will accept them. From this day forward, I am no longer a royal daughter-in-law.
After saying this, "Blood Purple Rose" strode away, leaving Li Mufeng anxious.
“Ziwei, listen to me, this is not my intention, I…”
"Get out of here."
"Blood Purple Rose" slapped away Li Mufeng's outstretched hand.
"Miss Han, you've finally come out. My young master has been waiting for you for quite a while."
Outside the palace gate, Chu Yunmo's attendant, Mu Chun, came to greet her.
"Get out, she won't go with you."
No sooner had Li Mufeng finished speaking than "Blood Purple Rose" said...
"lead the way."
"Han Ziwei, I forbid you from getting into Chu Yunmo's carriage."
Li Mufeng grabbed "Blood Purple Rose's" wrist, only to hear her say in a chilling voice,
"Lord Longxuan, please have some self-respect. I have already divorced you, and you have no right to interfere with my freedom."
"you……"
Watching "Blood Purple Rose" disappear from his sight, Li Mufeng suddenly felt a void in his heart. Unconsciously, it was as if she had already occupied his heart...
