Chapter 432 - 432 - Pig-like teammatesThe empress really was despairing of the fourth w.a.n.gfei"s words. She closed her eyes as if she didn"t want to hear any more from the fourth w.a.n.gfei. If possible, she really wanted to sew up the fourth w.a.n.gfei"s mouth.
"Oh, what the Fourth Princess said makes a lot of sense, but everyone should remember what I just said, right? The grease on my hands accidentally touched the painting. If I remember correctly, it should be on the edge of the painting. "
Just as Wei Yuanwei finished speaking, the emperor"s gaze immediately shifted to the edge of the scroll. A small yellow oil stain on the pure white paper, was extremely eye-catching, dazzling!
When the Fourth Princess saw the emperor"s expression, she knew that the painting in his hands was the one she"d just taken out.
But, what was going on? She had obviously been secretly hiding that painting from the maid, so why would it suddenly appear on the empress"s body?
"Your Majesty, chenqie has never left your side. If chenqie had any actions, how could your Majesty not see them?" Someone must have hidden this painting on my body. " The empress then turned her head to look at the palace maid closest to her. "Did you stick the painting onto me? Is it you? "
A few palace maids were frightened out of their wits by the empress. All of them knelt down and bit their heads, some of them even crying out loud due to their cowardice.
"Empress, chenqie remembers that after the crown prince and Miss Wei left their seats, you went out once. Now that you mention it, the time was just right!" The imperial concubine silently added another stab.
If the empress was crippled, she would be the one with the highest hopes of becoming the empress. How could she watch from the sidelines at a time like this?
"Imperial Concubine Yu, shut up. Why did I steal the painting and hide it on myself just to frame Wei Yuanwei? If I want her dead, do I need to frame her? " The empress"s eyes turned red as he spoke through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, may I ask, is the crown prince really the empress"s biological son?" Wei Yuanwei"s words were undoubtedly astonishing.
The emperor was even more astonished. "What do you mean?"
"According to what the empress said, I really don"t need to go through so much trouble just now, but since this fact is right in front of me, I"ll think that the empress"s real target might not be me, but the crown prince!" Wei Yuanwei turned his head to look at Zhong Lixian who was still in shock. "But I heard from the emperor that the crown prince was the empress"s biological son, so I dispelled my doubts.
The Queen looked at Wei Yuanwei and really wished she could tear the two of them apart.
Zhong Lixian, are you really willing to give up your position as the crown prince? Do you really want the Emperor to know that you were not born in my palace?
Wei Yuanwei"s seemingly casual words couldn"t help but raise doubts in the Emperor"s heart, and in his heart, even though she still felt that this matter was far too ridiculous.
Zhong Lixian knew that Wei Yuanwei was very smart. It was probably because of the conversation he had with the Empress that night that made Wei Yuanwei suspicious that he was not born of the Empress.
"What are you trying to do?" Zhong Lixian"s body was filled with chilliness.
"Didn"t I just say that? If I win, the empress will lose, and the price of her loss is certain to be death! " When Wei Yuanwei faced Zhong Lixian, his words were simple, but his face was filled with killing intent and experience.
"Do you want me to die as well? Are you really going to die with me for Mu Jin? " Zhong Lixian"s voice was especially cold and fierce.
In this situation, as long as there was even a slight mistake, his life was very likely going to end as well.
Wei Yuanwei, however, blinked her eyes at Zhong Lixian: "What are you afraid of? As long as you are the Emperor"s own son! What I should be afraid of now is the empress! "
"Wei Yuanwei, I knew that you weren"t a simple person the first time I saw you. I didn"t expect that you would have such a poisonous heart. All of this was part of your conspiracy. It was you who took the fake item and stuffed it into my body while I was in the toilet! " The queen almost shouted.
"Since the empress is your biological father, why are you so angry?" "I only thought of this when I thought of a story I saw in an ancient tree. After all, a few hundred years ago, there were many concubines who were unsatisfied with being alone and had an affair with imperial guards and doctors. After giving birth to their children, they were deemed to be of Dragon descent …"
"Wei Yuanwei, shut up!" The empress"s voice was filled with rage and his expression was ferocious. The more guilty a person was, the greater their anger would be.
Wei Yuanwei was glad that sshe succeeded in inciting his into action. Now, he was only left with one last step.
"Are you sure you won"t do something? Or are you not sure that you are the Emperor"s biological son? " Wei Yuanwei softly said to Zhong Lixian.
Zhong Lixian tightly hesitated for a moment, then shook off Wei Yuanwei"s hand and angrily rebuked: "Wei Yuanwei, don"t take advantage of me because I like you, so you can do whatever you want. How could I not be your mother"s biological son? Do you know how serious that is? "
After that, Zhong Lixian walked over to the emperor with quick steps. She lowered her body and said with a resolute and sincere expression, "Royal father, how could this son not be the empress" biological son? royal father should be more clear than this son. If royal father suspects this son and mother because of this, this son is willing to drip blood to establish a marriage. This son will bear witness to Imperial Mother"s innocence and this son"s innocence! "
The empress"s lips, devoid of blood, trembled. She wanted to speak, but the words were stuck in her throat when she opened her mouth.
Zhong Lixian, do you really not want this t.i.tle of Crown Prince? Do you really want to kill me?
The empress stared straight at Zhong Lixian with her long and narrow phoenix eyes, while Zhong Lixian looked at her with an ice-cold gaze from the corner of his eyes.
Now that things had reached this stage, he no longer had any other choice. She was the one who forced him to choose between the position of crown prince and Wei Yuanwei.
He could refuse the t.i.tle of crown prince, but he definitely had to do so.
Hearing Zhong Lixian"s words, the emperor was still hesitant, but it was hard to look at.
Everyone saw that the matter had not settled yet. There were waves after waves, especially when the truth was revealed that the crown prince was not the empress, regardless of whether it was true or false.
It was enough to stir up those who were after the position of empress and crown prince.
And so, the Emperor was persuaded by everyone with ulterior motives, no matter how much the Empress tried to defend herself, especially when it came to Zhong Lixian who was extremely cooperative.
In the end, the emperor sent the imperial physician over to make a blood bond.
