The Princess Wei Yang (106+)

Chapter 146 - Confrontation in the Main Hall - Part 2

The Emperor frowned and said, "If there's something you have to say, speak up."

The Crown Prince gritted his teeth and said loudly and solemnly: "Three days ago, a woman came to me saying she had a great grievance she wanted addressed. I wanted your majesty to address her grievance."

The Emperor's brows furrowed even more tightly.

This Crown Prince was really too ignorant.

How could he ask to redress someone's grievances in public on such an occasion?

He glanced at the Empress Dowager and noticed that she was displeased.

He couldn't help but say: "This kind of matter will naturally be left to Jing Zhaoyin to solve. As a prince, it is better for you to focus more on government affairs and not overstep your authority." The Emperor was obviously blaming the Crown prince.

Being an Emperor, he didn't have to deal with all sorts of nonsense. There were people to delegate to. The Crown Prince mentioning any grievance on such a grand occasion was clearly inappropriate.

That the Empress Dowager did not get angry in public was a form of grace.

If the Crown Prince continued and did not try to appease her anger or back down, it was possible that both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager would lose their temper.

But the matter had already reached this point. The Crown Prince did not see the out that was granted him. He instead went ahead to say loudly: "Of course, I know that this matter ought not to be discussed here, but without the testimony of Emperor father, the Empress Dowager, and all the ministers, I think Jing Zhaoyin would never have the courage to judge the case."

The Emperor's face became extremely gloomy. He could not restrain the anger that he had been suppressing in his heart. However, after hearing these words, he couldn't help but look at the Empress Dowager.

What kind of case could even Jing Zhaoyin be unable to solve?

The Empress Dowager was interested as well. So she softly sighed and said: "Since the Crown Prince has requested it, let's finish it."

The Prince finally plucked up the courage and said loudly: "That woman being sued is none other than the beloved Consort Lian who is pregnant with a dragon heir!"

As soon as he said this, the whole palace was shocked.

People began to wonder... why was it that something dramatic always happened at royal banquets!

Every time, they had to attend with their heads in their hands. If they were not careful enough, they could lose it.

Everyone looked at Consort Lian, but they saw a look of confusion, innocence, and shock on her face.

She asked in surprise: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

The prince looked at her coldly. His gaze falling on her stomach became even more resentful: "Father, that woman claims that she is the real Leng Youlian, and while her identity and place of origin are true, the Consort Lian in front of you has actually assumed her identity!"

Li Wei Yang looked at this drama with cold eyes and shook her head lightly.

Consort Lian's identity had always been a problem and would cause calamity sooner or later. She had expected this day from the beginning.

She glanced at the other side, and her eyes met Tuoba Zhen's.

Tuoba Zhen smiled while looking at her. It was a mysterious and eerie smile... so creepy!
