Chapter 159 The Truth Revealed
Liu Jinshu's words were like thunder, setting off the entire envoys' banquet.
For a moment, everyone was whispering.
Emperor Showa, the Empress, Prince Qi, Duke Gao, even the Duke's wife, princesses, princes, civil and military officials, all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Liu Jinshu!" King Qi was the first to stand up from his chair, holding his chest, and strode to the center to drag her away.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for beating you to death with a stick!"
Liu Jinshu lay on the ground trembling all over, then looked up at Emperor Showa and Empress sitting on the high seats.
Emperor Showa's face turned ashen, and he stared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her.
Instead, the queen beside him had a smug look on her face.
It has to be this idiot again.
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
Liu Jinshu's eyes were red. He raised his right hand and said to the Emperor Zhaohe and Empress sitting on the high throne: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, if I, Liu Jinshu, tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
The Queen raised her lips slightly and said, "Are you really not lying? Then I want to ask you, how did you know this secret?"
Liu Jinshu lowered her right hand and said forcefully, "I was at the Prince of Qi's mansion and personally heard the conversation between Duke Gao and His Highness the Prince of Qi."
"Duke Gao said that the Prince of Qi is not the son of Concubine Gao and Your Majesty, but the son of him and Princess Yan Ning!"
"They also said that the child the Imperial Concubine gave birth to was a girl, who died that night. The doctor diagnosed that the Imperial Concubine would have difficulty conceiving again, so Princess Yan Ning took the Prince of Qi and passed him off as Imperial Concubine Gao's son."
"Liu Jinshu!" King Qi strode forward with a furious look on his face. "How dare you slander me? I'll beat you to death!"
As the King of Qi spoke, he raised his hand and prepared to slap Liu Jinshu.
Liu Jinshu dodged to the side and the King of Qi missed.
"Come here, capture the King of Qi!" Emperor Showa said coldly.
"King Qi, this is a banquet for envoys. How can you be so presumptuous?"
Several guards came forward, held the King of Qi tightly, and stood aside.
Liu Jinshu got up in a panic and knelt on the ground again.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for your subject!"
She raised her left hand.
In an instant, what caught everyone's eyes was a palm with a missing little finger.
"Because I know the secret of the King of Qi, His Royal Highness did not hesitate to send people to assassinate me, all the way from Yanjing to Yongzhou."
"I am now pregnant and have fled all the way to Huaizhou, but His Majesty the Prince of Qi is still trying to kill me. I am here in Huaizhou, so I came to this envoy's banquet today to beg for a chance to live, for my unborn child."
The King of Qi, pinned down by several soldiers, angrily shouted, "Liu Jinshu, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I send anyone to hunt you down? Stop slandering me!"
Liu Jinshu sneered, turned his head and looked at King Qi with red eyes.
"Is there anything else that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi would admit?"
"Your Highness doesn't acknowledge what he and Duke Gao said at Prince Qi's Mansion, so how could he admit that you sent people to hunt me down?"
"The assassins sent by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi also killed Yun Yi, the most handsome man in Jiangdong! If it weren't for Yun Yi, I would have become the soul of those killers!"
Liu Jinshu looked at Emperor Zhaohe on the high throne with tears in her eyes and choked up, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant with a child, the Prince of Qi's bloodline. Your Highness the Prince of Qi has disregarded the life of his own child and brutally murdered me. I was forced to do this today. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision!"
"Your Majesty, please make a decision for the deceased Young Master Yun and for this minister!"
"Liu Jinshu!" At this moment, Duke Gao stood up from his chair and walked to the center.
"Your Majesty, Liu Jinshu's child is not the Prince of Qi's. It would be fine if she had an affair with someone, but now, fearing that the truth will be exposed, she is slandering the Prince of Qi and even this old minister as well."
"Your Majesty, please order this shameless woman to be dragged away and beaten to death!"
"Duke Gao, please stop slandering me. With so many eyes watching at the envoys' banquet, would you dare to swear kinship with the King of Qi in front of all of them?"
"We all have eyes. Can't you see that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi doesn't look like Your Majesty, nor like Concubine Gao, but rather like you, Duke Gao?"
For a moment, everyone was whispering.
"You're right, this King of Qi really does look a lot like Duke Gao."
"Could it be that he is really the son of Duke Gao and Princess Yan Ning? Oh my God! This is the punishment of beheading for confusing the royal bloodline."
"Today is an envoy's banquet. Liu Jinshu is really disrespectful to Your Majesty."
"That's enough!" Emperor Showa slammed his palm on the armchair.
"Someone, drag this Liu Jinshu away!"
As soon as Emperor Showa finished speaking, Liu Jinshu quickly knocked his head heavily to the ground.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and not allow those with ulterior motives to confuse the royal bloodline."
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
Two soldiers in silver armor stepped forward, dragged Liu Jinshu up from the ground, and walked directly out of the Golden Palace.
Su Mingzhe sat on the chair, looked at Liu Jinshu being dragged away, and sighed helplessly.
After this banquet for envoys, the identity of the King of Qi is probably known to the whole world.
Emperor Showa understood everything, but he angrily ordered Liu Jinshu to be dragged away just to protect his own dignity and the dignity of the royal family.
After all, no man wants everyone in the world to know that he has become a big villain and raised a son for someone else in vain.
After Liu Jinshu was dragged away, the envoy banquet came to an end.
Emperor Zhaohe pretended to be calm and toasted the second prince of Qin, Yun Tianhe, and the third princess of Qin, Yun Zhinian, then hurriedly left the Golden Palace.
Upon seeing this, Duke Gao and Prince Qi hurried to wait outside the emperor's study.
harem.
After Emperor Showa brought Eunuch Wang into the bedroom in the side courtyard of the harem, he saw Liu Jinshu kneeling on the ground.
Seeing Emperor Showa coming, Liu Jinshu crawled forward in embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, every word I say is true and absolutely cannot be false."
Emperor Showa had an expressionless face. He sat down on the chair and gave Eunuch Wang a look.
Eunuch Wang immediately walked over to Liu Jinshu and said, "Miss Liu, please get up."
Liu Jinshu was a little confused for a moment. She got up from the ground and met Emperor Showa's cold gaze.
The look was so cold and creepy that she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Emperor Zhaohe said coldly, "Tell me everything you heard at Prince Qi's mansion that day, word for word."
Liu Jinshu nodded and immediately told Emperor Showa word for word the conversation he had heard at Prince Qi's mansion that day.
He also reported to Emperor Showa how he was being hunted and what happened in the underground prison in Prince Qi's mansion.
Listening to her description, Emperor Showa clenched his hands slightly and his eyes became increasingly cold.
"Your Majesty, that's all I have to say. If I have said anything false, Your Majesty will deal with me as I please."
Emperor Showa stood up from his chair with an expressionless face, glanced coldly at Liu Jinshu, and then walked out of the bedroom directly.
Wang Dequan followed immediately.
"Your Majesty, do you wish to grant me death?"
