Chapter 228 Lie Detector

The emperor walked in and sat on the throne, asking, "How is her injury?"

"Your Majesty, the wounds on this woman's body are all external injuries. Applying some medicine will not cause any serious problems. However, she has a cold in her body, so she needs to be well taken care of." After

the imperial physician answered, the emperor's eyebrows wrinkled even more tightly, as if he was dissatisfied with his answer.

The imperial physician lowered his eyes and dared not say anything.

The emperor waved his hand to signal him to leave, and his eyes looked around, saying, "Fuping, you go down too."

Fuping: "...Yes."

Ever since the emperor let this palace maid into the study, Fuping told him in his heart that this palace maid must have mastered some secrets, but he really didn't expect that the emperor would let him avoid it.

He has been serving him since he was a child!

Fu Ping stood at the door of Yu's study, his eyes deep.

Inside Yu's study, the emperor frowned and said calmly: "What did you see?"

The maid knelt on the ground. Although it was warm inside Yu's study, she seemed to be kneeling in the snow, her body trembling constantly.

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Your servant, your servant saw the princess and the fifth prince having sex, which was inappropriate!"

Although her voice was small, the shock of this sentence was no less than a huge rock rolling down from the cliff, and it kept echoing in Xiao Qingwu's ears.

"Father, she's talking nonsense, don't believe her," Xiao Qingwu's mind went blank, she just wanted to leave this place that frightened her, "This bitch is not only a bad girl, but she even dared to frame me. She should be dragged down and executed!"

Because of fear, her voice became higher and higher.

The emperor's eyes gradually showed annoyance.

"Shouting and yelling, how can it be disgraceful!" The emperor's shouting startled Xiao Qingwu, frightened her so much that she trembled all over, shaking like chaff.

The emperor took a deep breath and looked at the maid with sharp eyes: "Tell me what you saw in detail."

Seeing Xiao Qingwu's expression, the maid dared not hide anything: "Your Majesty, today the Fifth Prince came to the palace. I was ordered by Concubine Duan to deliver food to the Fifth Prince and the princess. As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a burst of ambiguous sounds."

She swallowed her saliva, looked at the emperor's face nervously, and continued: "I went forward and saw that the Fifth Prince was holding the princess, and the princess was sitting on the Fifth Prince's lap. The two of them..." The maid looked at

the emperor's iron face and dared not say anything, but even if she didn't say it, the emperor knew what she was going to say next.

Even though Jiang Zhiyu had mentioned it before, the emperor was still furious after hearing it with his own ears.

There was a hint of cold anger in his eyes, and a hint of stinginess flashed across his brows: "Go call a few maids to check for me!"

Xiao Qingwu raised her eyes suddenly and looked at him in disbelief.

[No need to check, she is still a virgin. After all, the two of them are not brave and dare not be so reckless.]

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish.

Chao En suppressed the surprise in his eyes and ran out quickly. After a while, he brought back two maids.

Escorted by Chao En, the two maids dragged Xiao Qingwu on the left and right and entered the body examination room.

After a few minutes, Chao En came back trotting: "Your Majesty, the princess is still a virgin."

Behind him, the two maids walked back with Xiao Qingwu.

The emperor nodded slightly and said in a cold voice: "No one is allowed to spread what happened today!"

Several people nodded like crazy when they heard this. The emperor coughed lightly, Chaoen understood, and asked the maids to leave.

Xiao Qingwu collapsed on the ground.

Although she was arrogant, she was not a stupid person. Her father doted on her so much before, it was impossible for him to convict her without any investigation just because of what the palace maid said.

The emperor must have known it early in the morning. What happened today was just the fuse of his outburst!

After thinking about this, Xiao Qingwu's mood suddenly calmed down.

The emperor walked around and said, "Wen Jing, you go out first. Chaoen, you go to Tong Fuping and tell him that I have a headache. Ask him to go to the Imperial Hospital to boil a prescription for me."

The two responded in unison.

Jiang Zhiyu also saw that the emperor wanted to talk to Xiao Qingwu alone. Instead of waiting for others to rush, she might as well bring it up first.

She was about to stand up and say goodbye, but she saw that the emperor seemed to pass by her and directly said to Xiao Qingwu: "How long has it been?"

Jiang Zhiyu: "???"

[Why did you keep me here? What does this have to do with me? ]

Xiao Qingwu's puzzled eyes also wandered around the emperor and Jiang Zhiyu for a few circles before answering: "About three years."

[Nonsense, it's obviously five years. If you ask me, you are still a little kid, and you are doing these things, tut tut tut. ]

The emperor: "..."

"But you..." The emperor sorted out his words: "But he seduced you?"

After all, she was his daughter who he had spoiled since childhood. Although the emperor was very angry about this matter, he was more angry at Xiao Siyuan.

Xiao Qingwu bit his lower lip: "No, we are in love with each other!"

[You can say that, but if you want to talk about initiative, it was Xiao Qingwu who took the initiative first.]

The emperor: "..."

Tsk!

"Tell me, what is the reason that made you two do such a disregard for human ethics and violate moral principles!"

The emperor's chest rose and fell violently, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You are siblings!"

Jiang Zhiyu, who didn't know that he was used as a human lie detector by the emperor, sat on the chair and kept complaining in his heart:

[Alas, this is not right, they are not siblings!]

[Xiao Qingwu is not your biological child. 】

Seeing that the emperor was just angry and did not say what he would do to them, Xiao Qingwu became bolder and retorted, "So what if we are brother and sister! As long as we love each other, it's fine. There have been precedents before..."

The emperor could no longer hear Xiao Qingwu's rebuttal. His face was as gloomy as water, his mind was blank, and he kept thinking of Jiang Zhiyu's words, "Xiao Qingwu is not your biological child."

He closed his eyes, sat on the chair, his clasped hands, with whitened knuckles due to excessive force, like a silent sculpture.

His face was so ugly that Xiao Qingwu stopped talking halfway and licked his lips nervously.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor finally opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qingwu from head to toe.

Xiao Qingwu stood there, suddenly shuddering, unable to withstand his sharp gaze, his voice trembling with fear: "Father, Father?"

Don't call me father, I'm not your father!

The emperor raised his head slightly, closed his eyes to calm the turmoil and struggle in his heart, and when he opened his eyes again, he regained his usual calmness, as if he was not the one who almost lost his mind just now.

"I understand," his voice sounded extremely calm, without a trace of anger, which made Xiao Qingwu feel cold in his heart.

"You go back to the palace first, I will think about it carefully."
