In fact, Feng Yinzhen's sympathy was aroused without any need for any explanation.
Lu'er was a child who had been neglected by him for many years, but she was very well-behaved and sensible. Just when she had gained face in front of him, she was dragged to Peacock Lake and drowned.
Now the child was sitting on the ground, soaking wet. He looked thinner and thinner, with his wet hair sticking to his pale face. He was calling him father with red eyes.
It's so heartbreaking!
He walked down in two steps, hugged the thin and petite poor person in his arms, his voice trembling.
"Good boy, it's okay, father is here, he will protect you and won't let you be harmed again.
Now, tell me, what happened to you?"
"Yes, Father."
Although Feng Xunlu was weak, she was actually very resilient. Upon hearing this, she immediately stopped crying and pointed her finger at Concubine Cao.
"It was Wen Yi who pushed me into the water. She told me to go to the Imperial Garden to pick flowers for her little sister, then insisted on taking me through a shortcut that led to Empress Jing's palace. When we passed Peacock Lake, she told me to go look at the fish, then pushed me into the water. I struggled mightily, but she and the others pushed my head down..."
Concubine Cao felt like she was frozen in place by ice, with a thousand regrets in her heart.
Why didn't she take Wen Yi away from here immediately? Why did she stay here to watch the excitement?
Now, things have turned around, and she and Wen Yi are in danger!
But Wen Yi had said when she came back that Feng Xunlu had been lying motionless at the bottom of the lake for a quarter of an hour. How could he possibly wake up?
This is as terrifying as a zombie coming back to life!
The queen's face was equally ugly. She stared at Feng Xunlu, who was held in Feng Yinzhen's arms, in disbelief, feeling confused and uncertain.
How could such a bizarre thing happen in the world?
Zhu Yinghuai had just said that Feng Xunlu was dead, so how come she was able to wake up now and testify against Wen Yi safely?
The Queen Mother and Feng Yinli had the same doubts in their minds.
But the old ones are the wisest, and the Queen Mother remained calm.
"Lu'er, you're a good kid too. Good kids shouldn't lie. You said Wen Yi pushed you down, but do you have any evidence to prove it?
Also, you said Wen Yi had an accomplice, so could you point out who that accomplice was?"
"Yes, Lu'er, Uncle Seventeen knows you have a clever tongue, but you can't use it to lie. Wen Yi just said that it was you who deliberately murdered her, so you can't confuse right and wrong."
Feng Yinli also smiled slightly, and his pair of peach blossom eyes, which were stained with drunkenness, stared at Feng Xunlu's eyes. His usually gentle eyes now contained a hint of suppression and threat.
Feng Wanwan couldn't help but worry about Feng Xunlu.
[This bastard male protagonist actually used his eyes to scare my sister Lu and prevent her from speaking! I'll throw a big watermelon at your face!]
[Sister Lu, just say what you want to say. Our parents are here to support you!]
Li Changzai was out of favor for many years, so she was often suppressed and trampled upon, and lived in fear.
Princess Feng Xunlu doesn't even have a title and has never lived a comfortable life.
Now that Empress Dowager Feng Yinli is putting pressure on Feng Xunlu, Feng Wanwan is worried that Feng Xunlu cannot withstand the pressure and dares not tell the truth.
However, Feng Xunlu is more resistant to pressure than Feng Wanwan imagined.
She met Feng Yinli's gaze with repression and threat, her face serious and her tone earnest.
"Uncle Seventeen, whether Lu'er's mouth is clever or not is one thing, but Lu'er never lies!"
She turned her head again, her gaze fixed on the face of Xiaoqing, the palace maid who had just testified for Wen Yi, and pointed her fingertips, which were a little wrinkled by blisters, at Xiaoqing.
"Grandmother, it was this palace maid who helped Wen Yi push Lu'er into the water!
Lu'er also had evidence to prove all this. Wen Yi pushed Lu'er into the water when she was not paying attention. Lu'er subconsciously grabbed her wrist. She called the palace maid to help, and the two of them worked together to pry open Lu'er's fingers. Lu'er also scratched the palace maid's arm while struggling.
"I ask Your Majesty to have someone examine this palace maid's arm. There must be marks from my hand. Also check Wen Yi's wrist. There should be marks from my hand."
"Su Pusen, check it yourself!"
Feng Yinzhen suppressed his anger and gave orders in a deep voice.
Su Pusen gave a look, and his little apprentice Xiao Xiazi understood and immediately held down the palace maid Xiaoqing who wanted to sneak away.
He quickly stepped forward and pulled open the sleeve of Wen Yi in Concubine Cao's arms.
"Your Majesty, this maid does have fresh scratches on her arm."
"The marks on Princess Wen Yi's wrist are consistent with what Princess Lu said."
The evidence is before everyone, and no one can help but believe it.
The queen's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but defend Wen Yi.
"Your Majesty, although both the palace maid and Princess Wenyi have marks on their bodies, this only proves that they had a fight with someone. It doesn't prove that they fought with Princess Lu, nor does it prove that they were the ones who pushed Princess Lu into the water!"
“That’s enough!”
The Queen Mother frowned deeply and interrupted the Queen in a deep voice.
Feng Yinli glanced at the queen quietly and closed his mouth.
Although Feng Yinzhen had expected such a result, he still couldn't control his anger and shock the moment he got the confirmation.
His handsome face was gloomy and he shouted angrily in a low voice.
"Conspiring with others, killing brothers and sisters, twisting facts, and turning the tables, I really have a good daughter!
Su Pusen, pass on the order! "
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am here."
"Wen Yi murdered her siblings and her title is revoked. Concubine Cao misled her daughter and concealed the truth. Her status as a noble is revoked and she is demoted to an official concubine. Both of them are sent to the Ministry of Punishment for further investigation! Once they sign and seal their names, they will be banished to the cold palace!"
