Xin Wu's expression was gentle and his tone was warm, but Sheng Jicheng and Bai Baozhu suddenly felt a tingling sensation on their backs.
"Why, you two didn't expect I was still alive?"
Seeing that the two men did not move, Xin Wu did not care and walked straight to the young eunuch. He picked up the brand new wedding scale tied with red silk on the tray in the eunuch's hand, looked at it in his hand for a moment, and nodded as if he was very satisfied.
He turned around extremely quickly and lifted Bai Baozhu's veil!
"ah……"
Bai Baozhu was so frightened by this accident that she quickly reached out to grab the veil back, but the veil was lifted by Xin Wuyi, and it floated softly in the air, like yellow flowers in autumn, falling helplessly to the ground.
"you……"
Sheng Jicheng was angry and wanted to question Xin Wu, but was stopped by Bai Baozhu.
Her face, which had been made up extra beautifully for her wedding, was filled with a sorrowful expression on the verge of tears, like a little white flower who had been bullied. "Sister Xin Wu, you... why did you treat me like this? I really didn't know you were still alive. If I had known, I would never have married Brother Ji Cheng. Now that you're back, I... I'll return him to you..."
"Baozhu, you...what are you talking about?"
Sheng Jicheng hugged Bai Baozhu, who was already crying and about to collapse, tightly, and said to Xin Wu with unbearable heartache: "Wu'er..."
"Just shut up about being called that."
Hearing this name from Sheng Jicheng again made Xin Wu feel a little nauseous. He turned his head and stretched out his hand to stop Sheng Jicheng from speaking, looking nauseous.
"Um...Xin...Miss Xin, yes, I admit that you were the one I loved the most." Xin Wumo looked even more disgusted. Sheng Jicheng looked at her and continued, "But after you got into trouble, I was heartbroken. It was Baozhuer who stayed by my side the whole time, comforting me and helping me get over the pain of losing you. So I'm sorry, now she's the only one in my heart."
Hearing Sheng Jicheng say this, Bai Baozhu, who was leaning softly in Sheng Jicheng's arms, gasped, "Brother Jicheng~" and the two looked at each other lovingly. Their feelings were so sincere and genuine that it really made people feel uncomfortable, as if they were going to be beaten to death with a stick!
Xin Wu was also disgusted by the performance of these two people. She originally wanted to torture them for a while longer, but seeing the expressions on their faces, she really couldn't bear to look at them for a moment longer. In the end, she was afraid that she would vomit if she looked at them for one more moment.
Xin Wu turned around and knelt down in front of King Dong Yao and the Queen. He took out a roll of petition papers that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and raised them high with both hands.
"I, Xin Wu, am hereby suing Prince Sheng Jicheng of Dongyao Muyun and Marquis Yi'an's legitimate daughter, Bai Baozhu, for murder and robbery. They have caused my father's death, my brother's drowning, and the destruction of my family. They are also attempting to seize the Xin family's property. Their evil deeds are truly intolerable. I beg the King and Queen to seek justice for me!"
When everyone at the scene saw Xin Wu, they really thought that Xin Wu had come back to compete for their fiancé. Who knew that there would be such a turn of events? Suddenly, everyone was excited, as if ten thousand ducks started quacking at the same time, and a buzzing sound suddenly rang out.
King Dongyao and the Queen exchanged looks of disbelief with each other, their faces etched with shock. It was the Queen who first realized the truth. After all, the father Xin Wu was referring to was her brother. Their parents had died young, and she had been raised under the care of Xin Wu. She had initially believed they had been robbed by accident, but now that she knew it was a deliberate murder, how could she not be concerned?
"Wu'er, Wu'er, is what you just said true? What on earth happened?"
The queen grabbed Xin Wu's shoulders and tried to pull her up, but Xin Wu knelt stubbornly, holding the roll of paper in her hand.
The queen had no choice but to take the petition and read it face to face with King Dong Yao. The more she read, the deeper her frown became. The queen's hand holding the petition unconsciously clenched tightly, and her eyes were extremely complicated as she looked at the two people who were pretending to be innocent and hugging each other tightly.
"You...you, you really have such cruel hearts!"
The queen angrily crumpled the petition in her hand into a ball and threw it at Sheng Jicheng's face. Sheng Jicheng took it and opened it, but his face became paler and paler. The petition described in detail how he had murdered the three members of the Xin family. He even didn't know where he found the people on the ship who had not been killed in time. The paper also contained the testimonies of those witnesses.
"I can find all the witness testimonies on this petition and confront Prince Sheng on the spot. I also beg the King and Queen to help me and severely punish this evildoer!"
As Xin Wu cried and her head pounded on the floor, her small figure looked as unshakable as a rock.
After class, Sheng Jicheng could no longer pretend to be affectionate. He pushed away Bai Baozhu, who was still leaning against him, and quickly walked to King Dongyao, kneeling heavily. "Your Majesty, everything written in this petition is false. How could I, with my sincere heart, do such a heartless thing? Miss Xin must be seeking revenge after seeing me marry someone else!"
Xin Wu looked at him with hatred. Although he had a premonition of this situation, when he actually heard it, he still felt, "How can there be such a shameless person in the world!"
"Prince Sheng, how long will you continue to confuse right and wrong?"
Just when King Dongyao didn't know what to say, the eldest prince stood up with a solemn look on his face, saluted King Dongyao and the queen, and also knelt in front of them with his robe lifted. In the same way as Xin Wu, he pulled out a roll of papers from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head: "Your son has something to report!"
"explain!"
King Dong Yao could only say this word.
"I have already investigated and found out that Prince Muyun Sheng Jicheng embezzled military funds, kidnapped people, trained private soldiers, and extorted money. All of these offenses have inflicted the heaviest penalties in Dongyao. I request that Your Majesty conduct a thorough investigation into this matter!"
If King Dongyao still wanted to protect Sheng Jicheng because of his talent when Xin Wu complained just now, now after hearing the eldest prince list these points, he really wanted to kill Sheng Jicheng!
Each of these is a crime of murdering his family and country!
"Father, I also have something to say."
At this time, the second prince saw that King Dong Yao still didn't say anything, so he decided to step forward and add fuel to the fire.
King Dongyao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he coldly told the second prince to speak.
"I have discovered that Prince Mu Yun, Sheng Jicheng, has colluded with officials in the court, secretly collecting the private affairs of officials and using them to blackmail them for his own use. He has also sold official positions and suppressed his opponents. This is a crime worthy of death!"
After saying that, the second prince also took out a roll of petition papers from his sleeve and held it high above his head. At that moment, three pairs of hands were raised high, and Xin Wu had already taken out a spare petition papers from his sleeve, as if forcing King Dong Yao to make a decision.
