Just then, Prince Yin hurriedly stepped forward: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense anymore."
"Father, do you still want her to continue deceiving His Majesty?"
Prince Yin was almost furious. He had kept this a secret for so long, and his own daughter had just exposed it. Did she even know what the crime of deceiving the emperor meant?
At this moment, Princess Consort Yin also spoke up: "Wan'er is my own child. Do you think I don't know whether she is a boy or a girl? You are just an adopted daughter. I kindly took you in, but you repay kindness with enmity, spouting nonsense and trying to slander the Crown Prince. Guards! Take her away."
Wei Shengyue was filled with disbelief. She couldn't believe that the princess would say such a thing, and she couldn't believe that the two of them wouldn't protect her.
Wan Ge had anticipated this scene. After all, they would be quick to act against someone who wanted to harm their daughter, the entire household, and the Princess's family. Moreover, the Princess was only trying to save her life by having her dragged away.
Ultimately, she was their own daughter, and they felt indebted to her, so it was normal for them to want to save her life.
But when the protagonist's halo stopped having any effect, how could Wei Shengyue, with her stupid and wicked temper, be so willing to accept it: "I am your real daughter! How could you choose an imposter?"
The princess slapped her across the face and then angrily rebuked the people around her: "Take her away right now!"
Prince Yin bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, for causing you trouble. It's all our fault. We spoiled her because of her parents' passing, which led her to commit such a terrible crime. We only hope that Your Majesty will forgive her for her ignorance."
The emperor had not intended to kill Wei Shengyue today; he was still proceeding according to plan: "Since my brother has said so, I will spare her life. However, everyone is waiting for a definitive answer regarding the rumor that the heir is not a man."
After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand and summoned a eunuch, who was the Grand Eunuch and a trusted eunuch of the emperor.
The eunuch gestured to Wan Ge, saying, "Your Highness, this way please."
Wan Ge nodded and followed, but Prince Yin and his wife were nervous. After all, that was the emperor's man, and he shouldn't be deceiving the emperor. How were they going to handle the situation later?
Silently, she prayed that Wan Ge would find a way, otherwise the crime of deceiving the emperor would be impossible to refute.
…
Not long after, the eunuch came out again with Wan Ge, and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.
Prince Yin felt so nervous that the sweat on his forehead was almost drying off.
Just then, the emperor's hearty laughter rang out, and he walked up to Wan Ge: "Good nephew, I knew you weren't what that madwoman said."
His Majesty called Wan Ge his good nephew and said that Wei Sheng Yue was a madwoman. Now all the answers have been explained.
Although Prince Yin didn't know how Wan Ge had managed it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was so nervous that his palms were sweaty.
The courtiers finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this answer. He said that how could the crown prince, whom they had been with for so long, possibly be a woman?
Although he is indeed more handsome, His Highness the Crown Prince is also exceptionally handsome. He just has a more refined appearance, which doesn't mean he is a woman.
Wan Ge simply nodded.
