Chapter 97: Anyang Marquis Mansion is the real victim
After the rebellion was quelled, King Yong found the midwife, who had evil thoughts in her mind.
She thought that her daughter was born to suffer, and if she could become the princess of Prince Yong's Mansion, she would surely enjoy wealth and glory in the future.
Driven by greed and selfish desires, she became obsessed and secretly replaced her daughter with the little princess of Prince Yong's Mansion.
It was handed over to King Yong, and that child was Lin Xingyao.
In this way, she became the little princess of Prince Yong's Mansion, but the real bloodline of Prince Yong's Mansion died before the age of five.
Many years later, Lin Xingyao grew up gradually. She became a graceful young lady and was loved by Prince Yong and his wife.
The midwife found her and told her the whole truth, but it happened that Wei Qiming saw them...
Everything started to get out of control.
Wei Qiming drugged her, took her body, and used it as a threat...
Princess Yong was extremely anxious when she saw her daughter just crying, but she also knew that she could not force her any more at this moment.
She patted Lin Xingyao's back gently, trying to calm her daughter down.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. It's mother's fault. I shouldn't have asked you that." Princess Yong coaxed gently, but there was a slight tremor in her voice that was hard to conceal.
The top priority right now is to stabilize the situation and seek justice for Yaoer.
After receiving the news, Lin Jingchuan hurriedly mounted his horse and galloped all the way. The dust raised by the horse's hooves lingered behind him for a long time.
Along the way, listening to the people talking about what they were saying, he became anxious and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
In front of Prince Yong's mansion, Lin Jingchuan dismounted, threw the whip to the gatekeeper, and rushed straight to the inner courtyard.
"Mother..." His voice trembled slightly with anxiety and anger.
"Shh, keep your voice down," Princess Yong gently closed the door, her face full of fatigue and worry. "Yao'er cried for a long time and just took some tranquilizers and went to bed."
Lin Jingchuan looked through the window and saw his sister lying on the bed with a pale face and tears on her face. His eyes instantly turned red and it seemed as if fire was about to burst out of them.
He turned and was about to walk out, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'm going to kill him."
"Come back," Princess Yong saw this and trotted over to stop the man. She grabbed Lin Jingchuan's arm tightly and said, "He's the Queen's brother after all. You killed someone so brazenly. Don't you want to keep your head?"
"So am I just going to put up with this? He did something so beastly to Yao'er, how can I swallow this!"
Lin Jingchuan's chest heaved violently, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles turned white.
"Your father has already entered the palace, and this matter will never be let go." Princess Yong said softly while comforting Lin Jingchuan, but there was also a flash of anger in her eyes.
Imperial Study
Prince Yong staggered, looked sad, and rushed in crying all the way.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for this old minister!"
His voice trembled and echoed in the empty palace.
The emperor was sitting upright on the dragon throne, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
There was another person standing in the room. When Marquis Anyang saw him, his face turned as cold as ice, and he exuded an anger that was difficult to conceal.
Upon seeing this, Prince Yong suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the expression on his face instantly became complicated.
His own daughter was pitiful and made him feel extremely distressed, but the Anyang Marquisate was also a victim.
This incident really put a green hat on the Anyang Marquis's Mansion.
At this moment, Prince Yong was standing in the palace, facing Marquis Anyang. He felt as if thousands of words were stuck in his throat and he didn't know where to start.
Marquis Anyang glanced at Prince Yong and snorted coldly, "Humph! Now the Marquis Anyang's Mansion has become the biggest joke in the capital! If I had known this would happen, I would never have agreed to this marriage!"
After hearing this, King Yong's lips trembled and he wanted to make some excuses, but in the end he just turned his face away, his knees softened, and he knelt heavily on the ground with a "thump".
"Your Majesty, Yao'er grew up under your watch," Prince Yong raised his head, his face streaked with tears, his eyes filled with pleading. "She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was young, but now she has been treated so badly by Wei Qiming. How can this old minister swallow this humiliation?"
His voice was filled with tears, and it seemed particularly desolate in the silent palace.
Duke Wei hurried into the imperial study with heavy and hurried steps. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his expression was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
As soon as he entered the study, he knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop, and then walked a few steps on his knees.
The emperor snorted coldly, "Everyone is here."
The entire capital was in an uproar over this dirty business, how could he, the emperor, not know about it.
These old guys still want him, the emperor, to take care of these trivial matters for them.
A young eunuch hurried in and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor was already feeling irritated, his brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character, and he shouted impatiently, "Can't you see I'm busy? Tell me what you want to say!"
The young eunuch was so frightened that he trembled all over. He hurried in, lowered his head, and didn't even dare to breathe.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is kneeling outside the palace gates begging for mercy. She says it's for... for the Young Master Wei's matter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the imperial study fell into dead silence.
Duke Wei suddenly raised his head, which had been lowered, and a complex look flashed in his eyes, including surprise, expectation, and deep worry.
Prince Yong and Marquis Anyang couldn't help but look at each other, with an indecipherable expression on their faces.
When the emperor heard this, his face turned ashen instantly, veins bulged on his forehead, and his chest heaved violently. It was obvious that he was completely enraged by the queen's actions.
"Get her out!"
The emperor almost roared this order, and his voice was so loud that the air in the study seemed to tremble.
It gave everyone present a chill.
When Duke Wei saw this scene, he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his heart.
His already uneasy heart now felt as if it were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
He knew very well that the emperor usually respected the queen, but now the emperor was furious and didn't even care about the queen's reputation.
This made Duke Wei feel even more uneasy. He thought that the emperor would really take drastic measures this time for the crime committed by his son.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Duke Wei's voice trembled with deep fear.
"My son Wei Qiming has committed such an outrageous act, bringing disgrace upon the royal family and harming both the Anyang Marquisate and the Yong Prince's Residence. This old minister has failed to educate his son and deserves death!"
After saying that, he kept knocking his head against the ground. The banging sound was very annoying.
Now you regret it, what were you doing before?
If he had not been so indulgent, he would not have raised his son so badly and caused such a huge disaster.
When Prince Yong heard Duke Wei mention Wei Qiming, his red eyes were filled with rage. He wished he could wipe out the entire Wei family...
