They might think that Han Xinyu and Han Haiyang were deliberately slandering Xu Jixiang in order to promote Taoism and metaphysics, so as to take the opportunity to promote metaphysics.
With the support of several ministers, Xu Jixiang was no longer panicked.
"Princess Xihe, I know you are still young and what you said is childish and innocent. I will never take your words today to heart."
When the officials standing by heard what Xu Jixiang said, they felt that Han Xinyu was deliberately stirring up trouble.
At this moment, the eunuch who was secretly sent to Xu Mansion by Han Haiyang hurried back.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xu's wife was indeed found drowned in the lake today. Everyone in the Xu family is wailing and crying, which is consistent with what Princess Xihe said just now."
All the officials present rubbed their ears in disbelief at what the eunuch announced. What!
Mrs. Xu actually drowned to death!
Upon hearing this, Xu Jixiang immediately knelt down and cried loudly.
"Your Majesty, Princess, I really don't know about this matter."
"Today my beloved wife died innocently. I am deeply saddened. I hope the emperor will allow me to return home to see her."
Xu Jixiang was crying so hard that it looked like he was about to faint in the next second.
The officials nearby couldn't bear to watch and stood up.
"Your Majesty, although the report just now coincidentally agrees with Princess Xihe's description, Lord Xu should not be convicted for this reason."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we can testify that Lord Xu and his wife are deeply in love, and he does have a concubine. However, even to ordinary banquets, Lord Xu has never brought that concubine with him. This shows that Lord Xu would never do such a thing as to favor his concubine over his wife."
Han Haiyang frowned forbearingly. Yes, he was affectionate and loyal. He couldn't stand a man who was fickle. He even wanted to murder his wife for a concubine.
If this matter is really as Yu'er said, he will never let Xu Jixiang go, and he must create a warm scene of loving wife and protecting son in the capital.
Xu Jixiang on the side wiped his tears and looked at Han Xinyu: "Princess Xihe, you have never seen my first wife, why are you so sure that I killed my first wife and made a concubine my principal wife?"
"Although you are a princess and the king, I have no choice but to obey you, but you cannot rely on your status to make malicious speculations about me."
Xu Jixiang's words were spoken particularly loudly, making some of the minor officials present even more angry.
They rely on the royal family's support to exist, which was fine in the past. But now in this court, Princess Xihe is relying on her power to oppress them. Is this fair?
"Princess, what Lord Xu said is absolutely right. You have never even met Lord Xu's wife, so why do you assert that Lord Xu killed his wife with his own hands?"
"What's more, everyone present can testify that Lord Xu was busy in the court at that moment and had no time to kill his wife."
Han Xinyu looked at the doubts and contempt of the crowd, but not a trace of anger appeared on her face. Instead, she looked at Xu Jixiang who was kneeling on the ground in front of her, with a smile on her lips.
"Of course I know and have seen your wife, Lord Xu, because at this moment, your wife is following you behind."
"Look, she is holding a child in her arms, and the child is reaching out to you and calling you daddy. How pitiful."
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Xu Jixiang shouted "Impossible" several times, but before he went to the morning court today, the moment he walked out the door, he did feel his heels were wet.
Thinking of this, Xu Jixiang immediately realized that something was wrong, and then crawled forward frantically, as if there was really something unclean behind him.
"Master Xu, you know clearly whether things are as I said."
"Didn't you feel that your heels were always wet before you went out that day? That was the moisture from your wife Wang who was thrown into the lake after you brutally murdered her."
Xu Jixiang screamed when he heard this, and immediately fainted as soon as he opened his eyes.
But how could Han Xinyu allow the murderer in front of her to faint and get away with it?
Then, a ball of white light flew out from Han Xinyu's palm and flew towards the eyebrows of Xu Jixiang who was lying unconscious on the ground.
But after a moment, Xu Jixiang, who had been unconscious, suddenly stood up and turned his head to look behind him blankly.
In just a moment, Xu Jixiang let out a sharp explosion and crawled backwards on the ground in panic.
"Afang, it wasn't me, I didn't kill you, it wasn't me."
At this moment, in Xu Jixiang's eyes, Wang Fang was holding a baby in her arms, stretching out her wet long claws towards Xu Jixiang, her eyes baring.
"Xu Jixiang, why did you want to kill me? I am pregnant with your child, your child, why are you so cruel?"
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you."
Just as the woman's hand was about to reach towards Xu Jixiang's neck, Han Xinyu quickly dodged and stood in front of Xu Jixiang.
"Who are you and why are you stopping me?"
The woman's resentment gradually grew, as if she would kill Han Xinyu as long as he said something that displeased her.
Han Xinyu didn't move his lips, but his consciousness jumped directly in front of the woman.
"Wang Fang, I will help you get revenge, kill this scumbag and that concubine, and pay for you and your unborn child's lives."
Hearing this, most of Wang Fang's resentment instantly dissipated, but there was still a hint of doubt in the look she gave Han Xinyu.
