Chapter 493 You Are Lying
(I rewrote the previous chapter. Even though the emperor is a villain, I hope he can be more three-dimensional, so I added some of his childhood experiences.)
A thick stack of yellowed rice paper with wrinkled edges, it is obvious that it is very old.
The emperor held the paper high, but no one dared to come forward to look.
This matter concerns not only the empress dowager's innocence, but also the reputation of the royal family.
The most important thing is that the Regent is involved.
Even though it was a shocking piece of news, no one dared to eat it.
"You all don't dare to look, are you concerned about the Queen Mother's face? But even if you don't look, it's an undeniable fact!"
The emperor raised the rice paper high above his head and was about to sprinkle it into the sky when the empress dowager suddenly jumped off the carriage and rushed over like crazy.
"Enough! I admit that the emperor was indeed used by me back then!"
Then she grabbed the emperor's hand and hurriedly stuffed the rice paper into her arms, "Emperor! These are the letters I wrote after the late emperor passed away. I missed him. What are you doing with these? No matter how much you hate me, you can't insult my love for the late emperor in this way!"
A smile of success flashed in the emperor's eyes.
He knew that as long as he took out these letters, the Queen Mother would let him do whatever he wanted.
Women value chastity more than their lives.
Once the charge of seducing one's brother-in-law is proven, it would be a disaster for any woman.
Not to mention the empress dowager who was the mother of the country. Betraying the late emperor and seducing the regent were charges enough to have her bones crushed to ashes.
The emperor pretended to be surprised. "So this is what the Empress Dowager wrote to my father? I haven't figured it out for all these years. Now that my father is gone, to whom exactly is the Empress Dowager writing these letters of longing? It seems I misunderstood!"
The Queen Mother stared at him hatefully, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
The emperor was puzzled and said, "But if that's the case, I don't understand even more. What was the empress dowager's reason for killing my uncle?"
"Of course it's because of my Jing'er!" When talking about her favorite son, the resentment on the empress dowager's face was vivid and real.
"If it weren't for the Regent, Jing'er would have ascended the throne long ago. How could he have ended up with such a tragic death? So I want to avenge Jing'er. The Regent deserves to die!"
"I see!" The emperor's face was filled with grievance. "Did everyone hear that? I was indeed innocent of what happened back then! I was only twelve years old at the time, and was exploited by the empress dowager in my ignorance. When I finally realized what was happening, it was already too late!"
"Uncle, I was truly wrong!" The emperor knelt outside the city gate. "I kneel before you! I truly didn't know that bowl of pear soup was poisoned. Uncle has been so kind to me. How could I possibly have the heart to poison him?"
Everyone present looked grim.
We knew the emperor was lying, but we had no evidence to prove it.
"That's amazing! You can even get away with it like this!" Luo Qiuyue on the city wall clapped her hands coldly. "No need to guess, you know it's not you who hired the assassins from Wushengmen!"
"That's right, Auntie Huang is absolutely right! I never heard of the Wusheng Sect back then, so those assassins naturally have nothing to do with me!" The emperor looked at the empress dowager hesitantly, "The Wusheng Sect assassins must have been the work of the empress dowager!"
The Queen Mother smiled indifferently and said nothing.
"I can prove that it was indeed the Queen Mother's people who found Wusheng Gate and wanted to take the Regent's life!" Luo Linger said loudly.
No one knew Luo Ling'er, and they couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
"I am the wife of Lu Yunting, the leader of Wusheng Sect!"
Luo Linger does not want to make public the fact that she is the emperor's biological mother unless she is sure that the emperor has been forgiven by the regent.
"The assassination of the Regent by Wushengmen was indeed the work of the Queen Mother. I know it clearly!" Luo Linger said loudly.
Luo Qiuyue was so angry that she laughed.
Wushengmen never asks about the employer's background.
Unless the employer goes to Wushengmen in person to discuss the deal, even the sect leader will not know who the employer is.
So, Luo Linger was giving false testimony.
But Luo Qiuyue just couldn't tell the rules of Wushengmen, because once she told them, it meant that she couldn't be sure that the emperor was the one who hired the murder!
Luo Qiuyue laughed and said, "That Queen Mother! You haven't said a word. Does that mean you admit it? Was what happened back then really yours alone? The Emperor has nothing to do with it?"
The Queen Mother bit her back teeth hard but said nothing.
One is to avenge his son, and the other is to hate out of love.
She is avenging her son. After all, she is still a mother who has lost her mind because of the loss of her beloved son.
And because of love turning into hate, she will become a notorious slut!
She had no choice but to choose the former.
The emperor, with a look of vindication on his face, rose from the ground and looked at everyone excitedly, "Did you hear that? I was wronged! I didn't do anything to offend my uncle, yet I'm being vilified for no reason! Can I now clear my name? Can I reconcile with Black River City?"
"No!" A fierce voice came, and the little dumpling in a small flowered jacket walked out angrily, with puffed cheeks, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
"Xiao Jiu'er!" The emperor's eyes flickered as he smiled affectionately. "You looted my entire palace, taking my imperial seal and treasure house for yourself. May I ask if you've calmed down now?"
Ye family: ???
This money-grubber actually stole the palace's treasure house! He even hid it from everyone, not revealing a single word!
The little dumpling tilted his head to the side, "No, I'm not angry!"
The emperor smiled subtly, "Xiao Jiu'er, shouldn't you be nicer to me? I did something wrong to you, but I killed Mingzhu to vent your anger! Can't all the treasures in the treasure pavilion earn you a little forgiveness?"
"No! I won't forgive you! Because you're a bad guy!" Little Dumpling put his hands on his hips, his big round eyes filled with anger, "You did something bad, and you still want to quibble! You're so hateful!"
The emperor looked hurt. "I didn't expect your prejudice against me to be so deep now. It seems I can't rush it. I can only rely on time to slowly prove it."
"I came here today to see the Regent. Please help me invite the Regent out!"
"The brain bag won't see you!"
Little Dumpling frowned and walked up to the Queen Mother. "Are you lying about your debt?"
The Queen Mother ignored her.
The little dumpling waved her hand, and the papers in the empress dowager's arms flew out like snowflakes, floating down to the ground.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the yellowed rice paper under their feet.
"don't want!"
The Queen Mother panicked, "I command you not to read! Not a single word!"
But Wang Changyang had already picked up the rice paper.
"absurd!"
Wang Changyang was so angry that his beard was shaking.
The other old ministers were so angry that their faces turned blue.
Everyone was buzzing with excitement; the contents of the letter refreshed their understanding.
The Regent's name was written on each letter, and the content was full of infatuation, love, teasing and anger, expressing endless longing and sorrow.
Some are portraits of the Regent, which were obviously copied secretly without the Regent's knowledge.
Marquis Wuping spat, "No wonder the Regent hid when he saw women! It turns out he was scared by your shameless sister-in-law!"
