Chapter 805: The Crime of Treason

enly struck Xiao Yuge with a palm strike!At this time, Ye Wuhuan and Feng Yanniang, who were being entangled by the Tianjianmen disciples, were too late to make a move to save her.Xiao Yu Ge only felt...Xiao Yu Ge pursed her lips: "The one who should go back with you is your daughter." She still hadn't decided whether to acknowledge him.

"Ge'er, you are a smart child. I won't repeat myself. You know the Empress's condition better than anyone. You should know what to do."

Xiao Yu's song tightly pursed her lips, silent. She seemed very composed, but in reality, her heart was in disarray.

Later, Feng Wuji personally informed the emperor that he would return to Tianzhu in two days.

The Emperor, after hearing this, seemed surprisingly surprised: "The Prince Regent travelled thousands of miles to come here, and in just a few days he's going back I had planned that when I fully recover, I would take the Prince Regent around to see the sights and customs of my homeland, Lan Zhao."

"Thank you for your kind invitation, Your Majesty. However, the current situation is rather special and I must return now. Once peace prevails throughout the land, I shall definitely come back to share a drink with Your Majesty and explore the customs and culture of Lan Zhao in detail."

"Since the Regent has made up his mind, I shall today drink tea in place of wine and wish the Regent a smooth journey. May the friendship between Lan Zhao and Tianzhu endure forever, bringing prosperity to both!"

Even without wind, I raise my cup in return.

Afterwards, he continued, "This time when I return to Tianzhu, I will also bring my daughter with me."

"Xiao Yu Fu is the daughter of the Regent King, she should go back with the Regent King and acknowledge her ancestors!" The Emperor's words were indeed slick.

"No, this king is talking about Xiao Yu Ge!"

The Emperor actually knew it all along, but he still put on an innocent look: "Regent King, the person who recognized their kinship through blood that day was Xiao Yufu. Could Regent King have gotten the wrong person"

"No! Your Majesty, my true daughter is Xiao Yuge, not Xiao Yufu." Feng Wuji coldly looked at Xiao Yufu: "Princess Gu'an, did you say it yourself, or shall I say it for you"

As soon as these words were spoken, a hushed murmur of discussion rippled through the onlookers.

The Emperor glared at Xiao Yufu, slamming his fist on the table. "Xiao Yufu, what is going on here Speak plainly!" He was starting to question what his unlucky son had possibly seen in her. Had he been blinded by her beauty and lack of intelligence

Xiao Yu Fu was so frightened that her face turned pale, she hurriedly knelt down, tears streaming down her face before she could speak: "Your Majesty, on that day, it wasn't my intention to impersonate the Regent Prince's daughter. There was a man in black with a mask who threatened me with that jade pendant. He said if I didn't follow his instructions, he would kill me and my family. I had no choice but to lie..."

"You have such audacity to defy the Emperor!" The Emperor was furious, though he had already known the outcome, his anger still burned. This was a blatant disrespect for imperial authority!

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! Your servant was momentarily blinded by folly and acted under duress. Please show mercy!" Xiao Zhan quickly stepped forward to plead on her behalf.

The Emperor's anger hadn't subsided, he snorted coldly: "Xiao Yufu, you keep saying you were forced, but that's just your one-sided words. Do you have any evidence to prove what you're saying now is true"

"I..." Xiao Yufu was speechless for a moment. In her desperation, she pointed at An Ling beside her and said, "Your Majesty, my maidservant can also testify. She was there at the time as well."

The emperor slammed his fist on the table: “Xiao Yufu, do you think I’m a three-year-old child You are master and servant, there is suspicion of collusion, how could she testify for you You deceived the Emperor first, then impersonated someone else, and now you're trying to deceive him again. Do you think your head is strong enough to be chopped off”

“Your Majesty, please forgive me! I know my mistake!” Xiao Yufu was also so frightened that she trembled. If she didn’t say it out loud, she would be taken to Tianzhu, and Feng Wuji would kill her there. If she did say it, she might be put to death for the crime of deceiving the emperor. She subconsciously looked at Xiao Yu Ge because, in her opinion, since Xiao Yu Ge forced her to speak, he must have a way to convince Your Majesty to believe her words.

Indeed, Xiao Yuge stood up at that moment: "Your Majesty, this servant can prove that what elder sister said is not false!"

"Song..." Qian Si Chen was afraid she would give false testimony and commit treason. At that time, he wouldn't even be able to save her.

Xiao Yu Ge ignored her and gave Qing Luo a wink, Qing Luo understood and walked out. A while later, Lan Yi followed Qing Luo and walked in.

"It's her!" The crowd recognized her as the woman who had testified that day.

When Xiao Yufu saw Lan Yi, her face changed color as well. She guessed that it was indeed Xiao Yuge who had saved Lan Yi that day. Now that Lan Yi was here, she thought about the fact that she had failed to murder and cover it up that day. If she was investigated, wouldn't that be... Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Lan Yi respectfully knelt there: "Your Majesty, the woman has committed a crime..."

"Be bold, and come to the point!" Although the Emperor had mentally prepared himself, seeing them so thoroughly prepared still made him somewhat disbelieve.

"That day, the young mistress threatened the common woman with her son's life, forcing the common woman to blame the younger miss for switching the two children years ago. She claimed that the younger miss had orchestrated the whole thing. The common woman had believed her son was dead for over a decade, but she never expected him to be alive. For her son, she had no choice but to do as the young mistress instructed..."

The emperor's face was ashen, and he glared at Lady Lan: "Then tell me again about what happened at the Sanda Temple over ten years ago!"

Then Aunt Lan retold the story of swapping two children at Sanpo Temple over a decade ago, kneeling and swearing on her own son that everything she said was true. She declared that if even half a word was false, she would be struck by lightning!

Even if you are telling the truth, how can I know that this isn't another scheme you concocted together Besides, on that day, Xiao Yu Fu recognized her blood relation by dropping blood onto the jade pendant. The jade pendant clearly recognized its master. The Emperor simply refused to acknowledge Xiao Yu Ge's identity.

"Your Majesty, that blood was given to me by the man in black. He said it was for identifying kin in case of emergency. The blood I drew from my hand that day was not actually mine! It was prepared beforehand."

"Good! Xiao Yu Fu, you're doing well!" Being deceived like this, the Emperor was so angry his face was almost green.

Xiao Yu Fu was so scared that she didn't even dare to lift her head. Whether she spoke or not, she would die.

At this time, Feng Wuji stood up: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is another way to verify who is the princess. This method is probably unknown to everyone present."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's heart suddenly turned cold: it seemed he couldn't win after all!

"Uncertain as to what the Regent King meant..." Though he most certainly did not want his daughter and father to be reunited, under everyone's gaze, the Emperor had no choice but to address the matter at hand.

"In my country of Tianzhu, every saint girl is born with a peach blossom on her left shoulder. However, this peach blossom does not appear normally. It only shows when water from our Tianzhu Holy Pond is used to wipe it. As for which of the two princesses is my daughter, just one test will reveal the truth."ince, so why would I care about her life or death Just like them, kill them now if you want! Your blade isn’t enough, let me help you!” Last life, they had put her through such a terrible fate. This l...
