Chapter 497 The time has come and the medicine starts to take effect
Finding bones in eggs;
Grab a small braid and you can pull out a big head!
This is the strong point of the censors in the Censorate.
Anyone who argues with the Censor is simply asking for trouble.
Those censors in the Censorate are all like lunatics!
If they find any fault with it, they will push it to death.
Sometimes, when one censor spoke, several censors would join in.
To mess with them is like messing with a swarm of hornets!
Officials in the court always kept their distance from these censors and tried not to provoke them.
No one was willing to argue with these censors.
But today, I won't argue with them...
Ah! What a quarrel!
It's an excuse!
If I don't defend myself, these charges will fall on me.
But these charges... any one of them... I can't bear it myself!
Leng Xian endured the pain in his body, turned his head, and said to Kou Yushi, "Sir Kou, you are wrong!
No matter what, I am Yue'er's biological father. How could I lock her up and starve her for no reason?
Besides, what forced her to marry the villainous nephew of the concubine?
Why destroy her, the legitimate daughter, and let her concubine's sister marry in her place?
These are nonsense.
Actually...actually...
In fact, I, my mother, and my concubine were planning to destroy Leng Rongyue's innocence;
She was sent to the concubine's family, the Yin family, and married to the concubine Yin's nephew Yin Baoye.
It’s true that Yin Baoye is a bastard and a second-rate person!
It’s true that Yin Baoye is almost thirty years old!
so what?
Only by destroying Leng Rongyue first can we make way for her sister Xing'er and let her sister marry into Prince Yu's mansion and become Prince Yu's princess."
Having said this, Leng Xian suddenly started, as if waking up from a dream, and raised his hand to cover his mouth tightly.
However, it was too late for him to cover his mouth, and the words had already come out!
After hearing these words, all the ministers were stunned...
what 's wrong?
what's the situation?
Just now... just now Marquis Qinxing was still shamelessly denying it, how come... how come... how come he admitted everything in the blink of an eye?
Not only did he admit everything, he also told the whole story.
This...what the hell is going on?
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and then stared at Qinxing Marquis Leng Xian with wide eyes in surprise;
Even Emperor Hongde on the throne was staring at Leng Xian in a daze.
Only Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu, Duke Anguo Fu Peng, Fu Yinglan and Fu Yingze understood that it was time for Yue'er's "Truth Telling" to take effect.
Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Leng Xian seemed to have the urge to tell the truth, and even he couldn't control himself.
Leng Xian's right hand pulled down his left hand that was covering his mouth tightly.
Then, Leng Xian continued, "Although Leng Rongyue is beautiful, she has no feelings for her father, her stepmother, her grandmother, her stepbrothers, and her stepbrothers. Instead, she only has resentment towards her.
Who told her not to be of one mind with us?
Who told her to be close only to her maternal family, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion?
Even if she married into Prince Yu's mansion and became his consort, it would be of no use to me.
Anything that is useless to me will naturally be discarded.
I don’t care if she is my biological daughter or not!
Therefore, I approved of Yin's plan.
As soon as her nephew from her natal family returns to Beijing, she will let him stay in her house for a while.
Then, create an opportunity for her to take away Leng Rongyue's innocence...
Tell everyone that... it was Leng Rongyue who seduced Yin Baoye through misconduct!
Once Leng Rongyue's innocence is destroyed, she will no longer have a chance to enter Prince Yu's Palace.
She could either die or marry into the Yin family.
By then, will the Anguo Mansion still protect her?
By then, whether she dies or marries into the Yin family, wouldn't Fu Baozhen's dowry be safely in my hands forever and I can enjoy it as I please?
That Yin Baoye is useless as well.
As soon as he returned to the capital, he went to a brothel and got drunk.
On the way home late at night, I was put in a sack by a jealous fellow...
No, it's a cloth bag.
Not only were two legs broken, but the third leg was also disabled.
The Yin family’s plan has failed.
In desperation, I can only think of other ways and look for the next target.
But before she was found, Leng Rongyue was forcibly taken away by the Anguo Mansion!
But, just take her away, she will come back one day!
Besides, Xing'er and Yue'er are of the same age, so what's wrong with sisters getting married easily?
Anyway, they are all daughters of Marquis Qinxing.
As long as there is an imperial decree granting the marriage, even if the Emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Yu want to disown Xing'er, they cannot do so;
Even if Xing'er has to be a concubine or a concubine, she must be allowed to enter Prince Yu's palace.
As long as my daughter marries into the royal family;
As long as the Marquis Qinxing Mansion is connected to the royal family, my Marquis Qinxing Mansion will not decline;
The emperor will not watch my Marquis Qinxing's Mansion decline.
If the emperor's relatives fall into decline, the emperor will lose face, right?
As for Leng Rongyue..."
Having said that, Leng Xian's left hand finally won and he covered his mouth tightly once again.
Everyone kept listening to Leng Xian's mouth talking non-stop;
Leng Xian's left hand was trying desperately to cover his mouth, while his right hand was trying desperately to pull his left hand down.
Leng Xian was lying there alone, as if he was fighting with himself!
Emperor Hongde and the civil and military officials looked at the scene before them...
This… this is true. In previous years, there were only rumors of miracles.
And today’s miracle was witnessed with my own eyes!
Is Marquis Qinxing possessed by some evil spirit?
But... is there any evil that makes people tell the truth?
Or did Marquis Qinxing suddenly find his conscience?
This is impossible!
Marquis Qinxing...does he have a conscience?
Amid the astonishment of the crowd, Feng Duan, the Imperial Censor, came back to his senses first and asked, "Marquis Qinxing, you... you know... that the imperial decree granting marriage was written by the emperor himself!
The person who is chosen for marriage... can you change it at will?
You have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Leng Xian’s left hand had just covered his mouth when it was pulled away by his right hand.
"How can this be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor?
The emperor's imperial decree of marriage did not even include the name of the person being married.
Leng Rongyue and Leng Yixing are both my biological children.
No matter who I marry, I am still a subordinate marrying my daughter. How can this be deceiving the emperor or not?"
Emperor Hongde, who was sitting on the throne, exchanged glances with his son and quickly looked away.
Leng Xian kept telling the truth, which made him so anxious that he almost cried!
Leng Xian's eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs were almost popping out of his sockets!
The left hand finally broke free from the restraint of the right hand and covered the mouth again.
But why...I just have the urge to tell the truth?
How can you not suppress it?
