Across the screen, Liu Huilan looked in disbelief at Hao Wencai kneeling in front of Emperor Yongxi, shaken and angry, and on the verge of collapse.
Hao Wencai likes Hao Tianzhen.
Hao Wencai hooks up with Liu Huilan for Hao Tianzhen.
Hao Wencai eloped with Liu Huilan for Hao Tianzhen and treated Liu Huilan as a substitute for Hao Tianzhen.
"Your Majesty, Liu Huilan and I had already pledged our lives to each other before participating in the selection. She is not worthy of Your Majesty, nor is she worthy of being the Empress. She did not bleed on her virginity..."
Hao Wencai's words were like invisible knives, stabbing Liu Huilan's body with each one, leaving her riddled with holes.
Liu Huilan's head was buzzing and her eyes were bloodshot. All her persistence and love over the years became a joke, and she completely collapsed.
Bei Lingyao and Princess Fu'an, who witnessed all this, sighed deeply.
Women, you should never be obsessed with love.
Otherwise, you will have to dig wild vegetables.
"Hao Wencai, you are not a human being."
Liu Huilan screamed in grief and anger, and because of the anger, she fainted with a bang.
After she fainted, Hao Wencai was shocked at first, and then he slandered Liu Huilan in front of Emperor Yongxi.
Put all the blame on Liu Huilan.
She lost her virginity before marriage, did not bleed, ran away, and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Liu Huilan was nailed to the pillar of shame by her beloved lover Hao Wencai.
There is not even a trace of responsibility, affection, or conscience.
If Hao Tianzhen is Hao Wencai's white moonlight, the love of his heart.
Liu Huilan was Bai Yueguang's stand-in, and she became the mosquito blood slapped on the wall. She also complained that the mosquitoes had stained the walls and the air.
How sad! How lamentable!
"Compared to Liu Huilan, I feel lucky. The gloom and depression I've felt over the years were just whining."
Princess Fu'an's words made Bei Lingyao's mouth twitch. It turned out that happiness comes from comparison.
The same goes for sadness.
After following Bei Lingyao and listening to Taoist scriptures, Princess Fu'an never had nightmares again and her insomnia was cured.
Comparing her with Liu Huilan now, she feels that Liu Huilan is even more miserable than her.
She whispered to Bei Lingyao, "I didn't have my period on our wedding night, but I didn't lose my virginity before marriage. My first time was on our wedding night. Luckily, I woke up first that day and tampered with the veil."
Bei Lingyao felt that this was normal, not every woman would have a first time bleeding.
Overly strenuous exercise or injuries such as horse riding, martial arts, and dancing may cause damage and result in no bleeding for the first time.
Princess Fu'an and Liu Huilan are both good at riding horses, apart from other things.
During the talent show, Liu Huilan's horseback archery amazed everyone.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a favored daughter of heaven, but she just went astray.
If she had not been in love with Hao Wencai, and had become the queen, with Emperor Yongxi protecting her, she would have been a complete winner in life, and would have had no problem having the last laugh.
But she was so love-sick that she gave up all her advantages for Hao Wencai and even picked up embroidery, which she was not good at.
After working so hard and wasting so much energy and eyesight, and enduring back pain and neck pain, she only sold the five sets of embroidery for ten taels of silver and a dozen copper coins.
Not to mention the treatment she received as a queen, even when she was the eldest daughter of the Liu family in the general's mansion, a piece of jewelry on her body was worth more than ten taels.
Bei Lingyao shared her thoughts with Princess Fu'an, and Princess Fu'an's eyes lit up. "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If this is true, I wonder how many innocent women have been harmed."
Bei Lingyao nodded heavily. In ancient times, if a woman did not have her period on her wedding night, it would be a serious matter. No matter whether she was truly innocent or not, if she did not have her period, she would be considered a virgin and no one would believe her.
Some were controlled by their husband's family, some were even demoted to concubines, some were even thrown into pig cages, and some were poisoned to death.
In the previous worlds, this also changed after Bei Lingyao came to power.
I didn't expect the world to encounter such a problem so soon.
But this time Princess Fu'an came to investigate.
Moreover, Emperor Yongxi accidentally overheard their conversation, so the matter would not be difficult to handle.
Emperor Yongxi touched his nose. After he had Hao Wencai and Liu Huilan taken into custody, he was about to come over to talk, but he heard the conversation between Bei Lingyao and Princess Fu'an and was speechless for a moment.
"Let me investigate this matter."
When Emperor Yongxi said this, Princess Fu'an was shocked. Even though he was her own royal brother, this matter was extremely embarrassing.
Her younger brother was too tactless, but her younger brother was the emperor. It would be better if he was willing to help her investigate the matter.
That's how it's settled.
As soon as Bei Lingyao left, Princess Fu'an glared at Emperor Yongxi, "Royal brother, you heard it, so why did you say anything? I'm embarrassed for the Bei family."
"I just feel that my sister has to let me know about this, so it would be better if I were to investigate."
"Let me check. I'm a woman, and I have people at my disposal. I understand women's minds better, and it will be easier for me to act."
Princess Fu'an is now full of energy. She has been living in a daze these years, taking one day at a time.
Finally found something meaningful to do.
"How will the royal brother deal with the Liu and Hao families?"
"The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by confiscation of property, exile, dismissal from office, imprisonment, and death."
The specific charges will be decided after he returns to Beijing.
Emperor Yongxi thought he would be furious, but he was not.
Although I was angry, I was also relieved.
He knew why.
"General Liu has been guarding the border for many years. Even when Empress Liu got married, he never returned to the capital. He certainly doesn't know about this."
Princess Fu'an couldn't help but speak for General Liu.
"I know, I will investigate this matter. If possible, I don't want to touch General Liu. But General Liu is the biological father of Liu Huilan and Hao Tianzhen, so he can't be spared in this matter.
Impersonating the Empress and deceiving the Emperor is a grave offense. If the punishment is too lenient, the dignity of me and the Imperial Family will be shattered, and how can we deter the world?"
Princess Fu'an nodded. If she was just pretending to be a concubine, it didn't matter.
A wife is Qi.
The empress is the emperor's legal wife, the empress in the center, and the mother of the country.
I can only say that Madam Liu and Hao Tian are really too bold.
Even if Madam Liu's half-sister, Madam Hao, didn't know about it at first, she must have found out later.
After all, how could Mrs. Hao not know about such a big thing as her son's elopement and the news in the palace about Queen Liu's drastic change in personality?
Liu Huilan was not locked up with Hao Wencai. The first thing she did when she woke up was to keep shouting that she was innocent and had not lost her virginity.
"I want to see Princess Fu'an and the Princess of Jinghua County."
Liu Huilan could not accept Hao Wencai's slander and screamed frantically:
"I didn't lose my virginity before marriage. I only have Hao Wencai as my man. He slandered me. He slandered me. I beg the Princess and the County Lord to believe me."
Princess Fu'an was also bored, so she came over and said directly, "You two secretly decided to spend your lives together without the three matchmakers, six engagements, three letters, and six ceremonies. This means you lost your virginity before marriage."
Liu Huilan was hit hard again and fell to the ground!
