"I am willing to follow Prince Yile and Right Chancellor to uncover the truth and clear the names of those wronged! We must give an explanation to the oppressed people!"
At this moment, the atmosphere was boiling!
One was the young and capable Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, and the other was the bold prince. Either of them could stir a significant impact among the people with just a word, let alone their united agreement.
This scene was what Canglong Hui least wanted to see!
He did not expect that the guards he personally brought out from the palace would turn against him, siding with "outsiders." It was infuriating! They all deserved to die!
What he did not anticipate was that Cang Yile would act so arrogantly during his first visit to the palace, aiming to overshadow him and solidify his own power! Despicable!
Initially, he did not understand why Cang Yile would help the infamous Xia Yuhan, but now he realized it was to win over people's hearts!
Fortunately, at this moment, very few noticed the grim expression on Canglong Hui's face; otherwise, he would feel even more embarrassed!
At this moment, all the guards' attention was drawn to Xia Yuhan! Their hearts were completely captivated by her!
It’s almost there! Almost at the finish line!
They must hold on! Otherwise, wouldn’t all their efforts be in vain?
Of course, except for those palace maids and eunuchs who came just to join in the excitement. Having lived in the inner palace for a long time, they were accustomed to schemes and regarded this as merely a ploy by Xia Yuhan to gain sympathy. They would only return to their masters gossiping about how bad Xia Yuhan was and how skilled she was at seducing men!
...
Finally, Xia Yuhan staggered out from the sharp dagger with her last breath.
Although she walked unsteadily, the aura she exuded from head to toe remained unaffected.
When everyone looked at Xia Yuhan again, they were instantly stunned!
Her red clothing was tattered, her body stained with blood, and her fierce eyes, filled with bloodshot intensity, made everyone gasp in shock!
What a powerful presence!
She appeared to have nothing, yet possessed everything! This overwhelming confidence made everyone inwardly sigh and feel inferior to a woman.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Xia Yuhan knelt before Canglong Hui and said, "Longhui Prince, Yu Han has already expressed her determination to prove her innocence. At the same time, I have followed your wishes to pass this trial. May I ask when Yu Han will be able to meet the Emperor?"
Canglong Hui's face darkened as he found it difficult to vent his anger on Xia Yuhan. He could only point at the group of guards behind her and scold them, "Why did you conspire with Xia Yuhan? Why?"
The guards exchanged confused glances and replied, "My lord, we have always followed you. How could we possibly conspire with Miss Xia?" They felt wronged—truly wronged!
"Hmph! No conspiracy? Then how do you explain the 'Blood Path' you set up? It looks like nothing more than a decoration!"
At that moment, Xia Yuhan smiled with delight: Canglong Hui, if you continue to entangle yourself in this matter, the one who will suffer will only be you!
But truly, she felt sorry! Xia Yuhan was in a bad mood today, and you, Canglong Hui, should not expect to have good days ahead! Hmph!
What looks like just a decoration? Why don't you go and roll through it for a few dozen meters and see?
Just as the guards could only silently bear their grievances and shout for justice in their hearts, they heard Xia Yuhan's crisp voice: "Why not give yourselves a chance? You don’t need to use your bodies to prove your innocence to Longhui Prince."
"Yes, it makes a lot of sense, but they are just servants..."
The guards were initially hesitant, but at that moment, Jiang Tingyu stepped forward and said, "Miss Xia is right! You might as well seize this opportunity to clear your names!"
Seeing Jiang Tingyu's stance, the guards eagerly volunteered to remove their armor and stepped onto the "Blood Path."
However, it was only when they stepped onto the "Blood Path" that they realized they had embarked on a road of no return!
How could the sharp blades be crossed by anyone?
In just a moment, the guards' blood stained the sharp short swords, and their cries of anguish filled the air. The scene was truly horrific and unbearable to witness...
Standing aside, Cang Yile watched this unfold with a noticeable twitch at the corner of his mouth: Truly vengeful, a woman who repays grievances! But that’s what makes it interesting!
Canglong Hui, upon witnessing the gruesome scene, could hardly believe that so many royal guards were no match for a single woman!
Hmph! Xia Yuhan, I want to see how long you can keep up this arrogance!
"Eunuch Zhang, why are you still standing here?"
Eunuch Zhang, startled, swept his whisk and, understanding Canglong Hui's meaning, deliberately cleared his throat: "Xia Yuhan, although you have received forgiveness from the divine, you may not receive forgiveness from the current Emperor. Whether you can find evidence to speak for yourself remains unknown! Please proceed, Xia Yuhan!"
As Xia Yuhan left, the entire scene gradually quieted down. For more chapters and faster updates, please visit.
Those guards who personally experienced the pain of blades felt a deep sense of admiration rising within them.
Xia Yuhan arrived at the resplendent Yangxin Palace and saw that the Emperor, Queen, had been waiting for her for quite some time, instantly feeling a chill in her heart.
Everything was ready; all that was missing was her presence! It seemed unlikely that she would be able to leave Yangxin Palace easily today!
If it were just the Emperor, he would not be able to lower himself to argue with her, but with the Queen, who had been in the harem for many years, it would not be so easy to handle.
She respectfully knelt before them: "Subject Daughter Xia Yuhan pays her respects to the Emperor and the Empress!"
"Impudent! Truly unmanageable!"
Xia Yuhan did not know that the Queen's furious reprimand came right away. This inexplicable anger made Xia Yuhan think of Canglong Hui!
Ah... so this time it was a mother-son alliance coming together to deal with her, Xia Yuhan!
The Queen must have been so angry because she learned about what had just happened at the Palace Gate, right?
But it was not Xia Yuhan who embarrassed Canglong Hui! That was Canglong Hui himself!
Thinking of this, Xia Yuhan felt brave instead of fearful and boldly met the Queen's gaze: "What the Empress says is indeed correct. However, ever since Yu Han entered the palace, I have adhered to all palace rules. How could I be said to be unmanageable?"
This sudden direct confrontation actually made her take a sharp breath. The Queen did not expect this Xia Yuhan to have such courage to look her in the eye! "Impudent! The Emperor has issued a decree long ago, yet you only arrive now. Is this not ignorance of the rules?"
Xia Yuhan did not lose momentum against the Queen; she performed the proper etiquette and respectfully bowed her head to the Queen: "Even if the Empress lent Yu Han a hundred times more courage, I would not dare to act so openly!"
"Why is it so slow? It's just because Yu Han has been ordered by the Emperor to do some tasks, which delayed the time to enter the palace. I ask Empress to punish me!"
This scoundrel is truly cunning! On the surface, he pretends to be greatly wronged, speaking with righteous indignation, yet there is no reason to punish her! Moreover, it is unclear what she truly thinks in her heart!
"Enough! Bring in the adulterer!"
At this moment, the Emperor's voice impatiently reached Xia Yuhan's ears. The first update.
In Xia Yuhan's view, there was no truth in his eyes, only a desire to eliminate him quickly.
Xia Yuhan made an effort to adjust her breathing, slowly raising her head to look up at the high and mighty Emperor and Queen, quietly observing everything around her.
Before long, Canglong Hui appeared with the bound adulterer in front of Yangxin Palace: "Son pays respects to Father! Mother Empress, greetings! This is the adulterer I captured, please examine him, Father and Mother Empress!"
"Hui'er, you have worked hard!"
Xia Yuhan secretly raised her eyebrows as she scrutinized the burly man with a full beard, dressed decently. However, the only thing notable about him was his mouth full of silver teeth.
At this moment, she concluded that this person was not the man who had been alone with her that day!
Although she did not know what that man looked like, Xia Yuhan could tell whether a man had a beard. Even if a man were to grow a beard, it wouldn't cover his entire face in such a short time!
Xia Yuhan looked at the so-called adulterer with shining eyes: "I report to Your Majesty and Queen, Yu Han has something to say to him. I wonder if it would be convenient?"
Seeing the Emperor's signaling gaze, Queen spoke up: "Of course he can speak. If there’s anything you want to say, do it here for His Majesty and me to hear!"
"Yes! Yu Han obeys!"
Xia Yuhan received the command to speak and boldly met Adulterer's gaze: "You are Adulterer, right? Reveal everything you know! If you lie, I believe the Emperor Queen will not spare you! Your family will not be spared either! This matter has become known throughout the capital, and the consequences are severe."
Her voice was stern and imposing, which even startled the burly man.
Upon hearing this, the strong man knelt on the ground and could not rise: "Your Majesty, spare me! Empress, please have mercy! It was Second Lady of the Xia Residence who actively seduced Commoner. Even if Commoner had a hundred lives, he would not dare to engage in such behavior that corrupts social morals!"
"Commoner is an outsider. He came to the city to take the military examination and encountered Second Lady of the Xia Residence by chance! That is how Commoner became acquainted with Second Lady of the Xia Residence!"
"Second Sister admired Commoner's martial skills and once wrote a lyrical poem for him, which she had a servant deliver."
Queen snorted coldly: "Bring forth the poem!"
On the other side, Queen spoke aggressively: "Xia Yuhan, do you know your crime? The reputation of Xia Manor has been ruined by you! Now that there are witnesses and evidence, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Xia Yuhan realized that since Adulterer was a fake, then that poem must also be false. To make it more convincing, they must have forged her handwriting. She just didn't know what other tricks her opponent would pull next.
If the mysterious person targeted was from the royal family, could it be that the one who framed her, Puppet Master, was someone from the royal family as well?
