Chapter 203 The Truth Comes to Light
The emperor seemed unable to withstand such stimulation, and his body began to sway. While everyone was still making a fuss, the emperor collapsed to the ground and fainted!
"Ah! Your Majesty!"
The Imperial Concubine stared wide-eyed in disbelief, while the Empress strode forward and shoved her aside.
"The Imperial Concubine has committed insubordination, deceived the Emperor, and obscured the royal bloodline!"
"Guards, strip her of her imperial concubine robes and immediately throw her into the cold palace!"
The Empress stood protectively in front of the Emperor, pointing her finger at the Consort and loudly announcing her crimes!
The Imperial Concubine, naturally unconvinced, immediately stood up and coldly stared at the Empress: "You dare? What gives you the right...?"
"Someone come here!"
"Go and do it!"
The Empress slapped the Consort hard across the face, and then ordered the Emperor to be carried out.
The Empress is, after all, the mother of the nation. Now that the Emperor has fainted, everyone in the harem listens to the Empress. Even though the Consort was shouting and yelling, she was still suppressed.
"Empress, you vile woman, just you wait! You opportunistic scoundrel, once His Majesty wakes up, he will absolutely not let you off!"
The imperial concubine cursed incessantly, like a madwoman.
Xiao Jue handed over all the evidence to the cabinet and began to defend himself for what happened back then, keeping himself very busy.
Xie Qingran, who had orchestrated all of this, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. She silently boarded her carriage, and sitting in it, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing her like this, Baozhu felt terrible. With red eyes, she whispered, "Princess Consort, what's wrong? Please don't be like this. I'm scared. I'm really scared to see you like this!"
"Don't worry, we're going home." Xie Qingran smiled gently and led the two children home first. She knew very well that Xiao Jue was very busy right now, so he probably wouldn't be able to go home for a while.
Wang also brought Xie Hanyue back home. The whole family was silent, and no one spoke.
Now that this matter has caused such a stir, Xie Yankang has no idea how to explain it to Wang Shi. He figured no one would believe him if he said he didn't know anything.
"Let's get a divorce."
Wang took out the divorce papers she had prepared beforehand and looked at Xie Yankang coldly.
Xie Yankang had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that Wang Shi, who had always loved him deeply, would propose a divorce at this time!
"Are you crazy? We have a son and a daughter, and they're all grown up. You still want a divorce?"
"What's the big deal? She's just a child. What's wrong with the Xie family raising her?"
"How did you become like this? I hardly recognize you anymore!"
Xie Yankang looked at Wang Shi with a face full of confusion.
Wang felt even more disgusted by his eloquent explanation. She had always believed that the reason Xie Yankang disliked her all these years was because he simply didn't know her true feelings.
But now it seems that this person knows everything!
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly as she snorted and said, "I will absolutely not continue living with you. I will move out tomorrow. You must sign the divorce papers, otherwise I will tell the Empress about your past with the Consort!"
"What did you say!" Xie Yankang looked at Wang Shi in disbelief.
He truly never imagined that after so many years of marriage and two children, things would end up like this.
"mother!"
Xie Zhaoye finally couldn't take it anymore and called out.
"Mother, you're both so old, how can you just get a divorce like that?"
"This...this is just too outrageous!"
Xie Zhaoye couldn't accept that such a thing had happened in his family, and he couldn't accept that his younger sister had become a true princess. What... what exactly happened?
Seeing Xie Zhaoye like this, Wang Shi rolled her eyes at him.
"You're so old, yet you still have no brains at all. That's amazing."
After saying that, Wang turned and left without thinking.
Xie Zhaoye is also a member of the Xie family, yet he doesn't know how to cherish his mother. It wouldn't matter whether Wang Shi had this son or not.
She disliked Xie Yankang, so she wouldn't even give Xie Zhaoye a friendly look.
This time, Xie Yankang finally understood that Wang Shi wasn't just being stubborn or throwing a tantrum; she genuinely wanted a divorce!
"Stop right there! We can't get a divorce! I don't agree!"
Xie Yankang quickly caught up, grabbed Wang's wrist, and frowned at her.
Wang flung his hand away and looked at him coldly: "You don't want a divorce? Or do you want to divorce your wife?"
"That's not what I meant. We've been married for over twenty years. In all these years, haven't I treated you well? We've been living a good life together. Why are you suddenly making this kind of request?"
"Because you never truly considered me your wife!"
Wang clenched her teeth and stared at Xie Yankang.
She didn't want to make a big deal out of this, nor did she want to talk about these things in front of the children, but Xie Yankang just kept pushing her.
"After all these years, who is in your heart? Why did you bring Xie Hanyue back for me to raise?"
“I am your wife, and you don’t even tell me the truth. You know that if this kind of thing is found out, it will definitely implicate the whole family, but you still did it.”
"Neither I nor my children mean anything to you!"
Wang's eyes reddened, and she felt extremely bitter. She tried her best to control herself and not let herself tremble, but the huge blow still made her unable to stand up.
Seeing Wang's state, Xie Zhaoye finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
His eyebrows were furrowed tightly as he looked at Xie Yankang: "Father, is what Mother said true?"
"What do you know, you're just a kid!"
"Get out of here right now. I have something to say to your mother alone."
Xie Yankang now vented all his anger on Xie Zhaoye.
He had no feelings for Wang Shi and had been using her all these years, so he didn't have any special feelings for the two children she bore him, and even disliked them somewhat.
How could Xie Zhaoye possibly leave at this time?
With red eyes, he looked at Xie Yankang and said, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is! Why? Why did you do this to me! You are my father, but you love Xie Hanyue more. So... so it was for such a despicable reason!"
"Shut up!"
"What filth? You're so young, what do you know!"
Xie Yankang roared again.
