The Queen Mother's face instantly turned ugly.
Ugly and embarrassing.
She never thought that the thing she was most worried about would happen, and it was her beloved son who revealed it in public.
It's so embarrassing.
At this moment, she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
But her son obviously didn't want to let her go.
In the hall, Feng Yinli, who was holding Min Yu hostage, asked urgently.
"Mother, please speak up! Why are you silent? Please verify for me whether what I said is true.
Please plead for me, otherwise my brother will kill me!
Mother, don't you care at all about your son's life or death?"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I have never said such words or done such things. I have never even dared to have such thoughts. Your Majesty..."
In the hall, Min Yu, who was held hostage by Feng Yinli, was also looking at her pleadingly. There was a complex expression in his eyes, with tender affection and a desire for life.
One was her own flesh and blood, and the other was her lover with whom she had shared feelings since childhood. She was unable to make a decision for a while.
She didn't want to make a decision, she just wanted to find a hole to hide in as soon as possible.
But the Queen Mother had no chance to find a crack in the ground to hide in at this moment.
Because at this time, not only her son and lover were waiting for her to speak, but even Feng Yinzhen was waiting for her answer.
"...Mother, is what Yinli said true? You and Uncle Minyu really, really betrayed Father a long time ago?"
The main hall was now packed with people, and the area below was so crowded that there wasn't even a gap.
But at this time, the hall was extremely quiet, as if the sound of a needle falling could be heard clearly.
Everyone stared at the Queen Mother in the hall in astonishment, waiting for her answer.
Concubine Hua in the hall was also shocked, but Feng Wanwan in her arms remained relaxed and continued to gossip.
"Dad, there's no need to doubt the Queen Mother and Min Yu's affair. Don't you think about it? Min Yu, a foreign minister, is constantly visiting the Queen Mother's palace. How could he have so many things to report to her? There must be something fishy going on!"
"Any son would have figured this out, but you, such a resentful son, have been manipulated by her. You believe everything she says, without even a doubt."
[But it's also true that in the hearts of children, both parents are beautiful beings. If they weren't caught in the act, no one would want to suspect that their mother had done something dirty with another man.]
Poor dad! He trusted and had high hopes for the Queen Mother for so many years, but he never knew she would be such a terrible mother.
[However, the Queen Mother's secret love affair was exposed by Feng Yinli in this situation today. The situation is indeed awkward and difficult for the Queen Mother. After all, one is her lover and the other is her son. I don't know how she will choose.]
Concubine Hua also recovered from her shock at this moment, and quickly squeezed Feng Wanwan's hand: Baby, stop talking, otherwise your father will probably feel even worse.
Feng Yinzhen was indeed shocked at this moment, but if he said he was sad, he was not really sad.
He just maintained a rather hurt expression, staring intently at the Queen Mother's face, his voice muffled.
"Mother, please speak up. Is everything Yinli said true? Is it really Uncle Minyu who instigated Yinli's rebellion in order to be our fake father? Who is telling the truth, him or Uncle Minyu?
Mother, why don't you speak?
"Yes, mother, please answer my brother's question quickly."
Feng Yinli became more and more anxious and urged the empress dowager urgently.
Min Yu was also anxious and wanted to speak, but was forced to speak by Feng Yinli's soft sword. She dared not say a word, but just looked at the Queen Mother with a pair of pleading eyes.
The empress dowager looked embarrassed, perplexed, and reluctant. She first met Feng Yinzhen's hurt gaze, her eyes full of guilt and embarrassment, and spoke with difficulty.
"Zhen'er...it's your mother who's wronged you. Yes, your mother knew your uncle Minyu when she was young, and we had indeed been engaged before entering the palace. However, due to some strange circumstances, I was chosen by the late emperor to enter the palace, and I have been forced to spend these decades there."
"So, it turns out this is all true..."
Feng Yinzhen's expectant eyes suddenly dimmed, and his heartbroken and hurt expression became more profound. He sat in the chair, his brows and lips locked in bitterness, and he seemed very hurt.
In the hall, everyone looked at each other and discussed a lot.
"Is the story between the Queen Mother and Lord Minyu actually true?"
"For so many years, Min Yu has been betraying and harming the late emperor. As a subject, his actions are simply treasonous!"
"He actually still had such delusional dreams, attempting to possess the Queen Mother and become her fake father, and to achieve this goal, he even instigated the Seventeenth Prince to rebel! This is simply outrageous!"
The more people talked, the more indignant they became. If Min Yu was not still some distance away from them, these people would have spit all over Min Yu's face.
The discussion of the crowd seemed to make Feng Yinzhen sober up a little, and he continued to question the empress dowager.
"Is it true that Minyu wanted to be Yinli's fake father and induce him to rebel? Are you aware of this, mother?"
"Yes, I know everything, and these things are all true."
The Queen Mother's gaze had now met Min Yu's. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her look was filled with reluctance and attachment.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she directly ended Min Yu's way of life.
"It is indeed Min Yu who is possessed by a demon. To get me, he bewitched Yin Li. My mother knows all of this. She has tried to persuade him, but she didn't expect that while he agreed on the surface, he had secretly instigated Yin Li and succeeded."
"Empress Dowager! You are trying to kill me! You know perfectly well that I have done nothing..."
Min Yu had just looked at the tenderness in the Queen Mother's eyes and still held hope in her heart, but when she heard the Queen Mother's words, she couldn't help but feel despair and cried out.
But before he could finish his cry, Feng Yinli behind him immediately moved his wrist, and the sharp blade of the soft sword cut his neck. A large amount of blood gushed out, splashing the people next to him with blood.
Feng Yinli didn't let go of Min Yu until this moment, letting him fall to the ground slowly with his hands covering his neck. Then he dropped the soft sword in his hand with a clang, and without bothering to wipe the blood splashed on his face by Min Yu, he bowed to Feng Yinzhen in the hall.
Shouting loudly.
"Brother, you have heard everything just now, right? Mother has proved it for me. Everything I said is true. I was deceived by a treacherous person and was confused for a moment. I know I was wrong. I beg you, brother, for the sake of our long-standing brotherhood, to give me a chance.
From now on, I will obey you, my brother, and I will go through fire and water for you!"
He knelt on the ground, apologized sincerely and made serious promises, and it seemed that he had really come to his senses and repented sincerely.
But only he knew in his heart: repentance is impossible! He was only temporarily controlled and had to bow his head, but he would set things right again and must take that person's head!
He won't have to wait long, he will be able to reorganize his troops soon.
However, at this moment, Feng Yinli heard Feng Yinzhen's cold order in his ears.
"Someone, capture Feng Yinli! Tie him up!"
