Zhen Qia stood up shakily from the table, her cheeks flushed and her eyes full of affection as she stared at Feng Yinli.
Feng Yinli had just broken free from the guards' hands. When he suddenly heard Zhen Qia's words, he paused and looked at her in disbelief.
"Cai...Zhen, although you are of low rank, you are also my brother's concubine. According to the rules, I should also respectfully address you as my brother's sister-in-law. However, you and I are strangers and have no grudges against each other. Why do you fabricate and distort the facts to throw dirty water on me?
Why do you insist on killing me? How did I offend you?"
He really couldn't figure out how he had offended Zhen Qia. He had clearly coaxed this woman, and this woman had fallen deeply into the web of tenderness he had woven and couldn't extricate herself, but why did she betray him at this moment?
Even if he failed to seize the throne and the dreams he had promised her could not be realized, she could at least live peacefully as Feng Yinzhen's concubine.
With this face of hers, her life in the harem will not be difficult, and she will surely rise step by step in the future.
But why did she have to stand up?
When she exposed his secrets, she was also exposing her own secrets. If he died because of this incident, her fate would not be good either.
Doesn't she understand this?
Or is it that this woman is drunk and confused?
Feng Yinli was surprised and suspicious at this moment, and at the same time, he felt a murderous intent and wanted to kill Zhen Cai in front of him to stop her from talking nonsense.
"We've never met before? No grudges? My Lord, you have such a cold heart. From the beginning to the end, you've been my only man. I've given you everything, and yet, in the end, you've betrayed me, played with me, and you still refuse to admit it?"
Zhen Cai really looked like she was drunk at this moment. Her thin body was shaking, but her laughter suddenly became crazy, and there was pain in the madness.
She took out a jade ring from her sleeve and held it high so that everyone present could see it clearly.
"Feng Yinli, when you first met me in the harem, you followed me into the Suiyu Pavilion, coaxed me into committing myself to you with your sweet words, and even took out this jade ring as a token of our love. You also said that the red stain I left on the bed sheet corresponds to the red jadeite inside this jade ring.
You also swore to heaven that since you have me, you will never let me down in this life and will definitely put me first. Otherwise, you will not die a good death.
Feng Yinli, have you forgotten your original oath? "
"That, that is..." Feng Yinli was shocked again.
He really couldn't understand what this woman meant by doing this.
She seemed to be really exposing herself, and exposing herself with all her might. Not only did she take out the token of love, she even told the details of what happened between the two of them without caring about her face.
Crazy, this crazy bitch!
She really drank too much!
No, it's a brain seizure!
At this time, except for Feng Yinzhen, Concubine Hua, Nian Gengyao and Feng Wanwan, everyone was stunned by what Zhen Qia said.
Everyone: Why are there so many melons today? We just finished eating the Queen Mother’s melon, and now we have the Seventeenth Prince’s melon. I am so hungry that I am about to have indigestion.
But to be honest, the Queen Mother and the Seventeenth Prince are really mother and son, and they really have fun.
One of them was having an affair with her cousin from her mother's side, and the other was having an affair with her elder brother's woman. They were both having an affair in the harem, which was a mess.
"That is indeed the Seventeenth Prince's jade ring. I recognize it. The reason why that jade ring is so special is because it has a beautiful touch of red jadeite inside. I didn't expect that the prince would actually compare this touch of red jadeite to a woman's virgin blood. It's really...tsk tsk tsk."
"This is enough to show the prince's intentions towards Zhen. This jade ring is a personal item, and he gave it to her so readily. He even used ulterior motives to compare blood to red jade."
"It seems like this is a done deal. The Seventeenth Prince is truly mean. Zhen is the Emperor's concubine, yet he took advantage of her before the Emperor even visited her, leaving the Emperor to eat the leftovers. This is truly excessive."
"There's nothing more to say. He's done so many shameless things, and yet he still has the nerve to ask Your Majesty to spare his life. This crime is punishable by death. Your Majesty, I demand that the Seventeenth Prince be executed as soon as possible to serve as a warning to others!"
The ministers were shocked and vehemently asked Feng Yinzhen not to show mercy to Feng Yinli.
Feng Wanwan immediately echoed the voice.
[Yes, yes, yes, you're all right. This is the first time I've felt that censors are useful. Come on, if you can speak, please speak more.]
Feng Yinzhen was actually not surprised by Zhen Cai's sudden revelation, but he still showed a surprised expression on his face, and the feeling of hurt became even stronger.
"Old Seventeen, so you did something like this to me. How did you do such a thing?
I've been very kind to you. If you wanted a woman, just tell me openly and I'd give her to you. Why would you steal? Why would you do such a dirty thing?
Do you know that according to the laws of the Abyss, this is a capital crime, and even if I wanted to forgive you, the law would not forgive you?"
"Royal brother, this woman has framed me! Please believe in my innocence, and please believe in my feelings for you. I may have been foolish enough to want to seize your throne, but I would never covet your woman!"
Feng Yinli refused to miss any opportunity to save himself. He continued to pray and shouted angrily at Zhen Qia.
"Zhen, I don't know who sent you, but I can guess your purpose. You are throwing dirty water on me just to sow discord between my brother and me, so that I can die and let the emperor fall completely into your hands, right?
So you managed to steal my ring, even at the cost of your own reputation, future, and maybe even your life!
This king knows everything, but I'm telling you, I admit to what I've done, but I won't admit to anything I haven't done. Don't even think about throwing dirty water on me!"
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, even at this time, Feng Yinli can still think of a way to escape? His brain is quite quick.]
[And his statement clearly meant to smear Zhen Cai by accusing her of being a spy under my mother's command.]
"Having said that, Zhen Cai is indeed a tool in my mother's hands. But if my parents hadn't already been in sync, after Feng Yinli's nonsense, my father might have suspected that my mother and my uncle were secretly colluding to do something."
[This Feng Yinli is truly sinister and cruel. People like him must die!]
Feng Wanwan stared at Feng Yinli's distorted face and clenched her fingers.
Zhen Cai was also looking at Feng Yinli's distorted face. Even though she had predicted such an outcome, she still felt sad and cold in her heart.
How could the man she fell in love with be such a jerk and cold?
Are the people in the past and present lives different, or has she been blind from the beginning and misjudged this man?
She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't want to think about it anymore. She just felt tired, very tired, more tired than she had ever been.
