The Princess Wei Yang (106+)

Chapter 147 - Commandery Princess Anping - Part 1

Everyone turned their gazes to Tuoba Zhen and were stunned quiet for a moment.

Tuoba Zhen has always kept a low profile in the court these past years. He had never participated in any fights or contentions. On the surface, he was the most contented person. Who would have expected today's incident to involve him?

Tuoba really looked to Li Wei Yang, but Li Wei Yang just smiled at him.

Pulling the mud along with the carrots! What an interesting metaphor. Right now, she felt it was a vivid description of this situation.

Tuoba Zhen stood up and greeted. There was no surprise on his face. Instead, he laughed loudly and said, "Congratulations Emperor Father! Congratulations!"

The Emperor was eerily chill. The crown Prince summoned this woman and together they both poured disgrace on his head like a cold basin of water. What was there to congratulate on?

"It is a real JOY!" he replied through gritted teeth.

Tuoba Zhen smiled calmly and said: "These words spoken by the Leng family, spreading rumors and slandering Consort Lian were deliberate attempts to confuse the public and they indeed possess evil intentions. This prince was accidentally unaware of it. As such, I am guilty. Now that the truth has been revealed, the culprit is this woman who decided to spread rumors and cause trouble. She first deceived me with her sweet words, then deceived the Crown prince, and now she is acting arrogantly and rudely in the hall! Fortunately, Seventh brother was aware of everything and found the evidence first. Thus proving the innocence of Consort Lian. The truth is, that the Crown Prince is really innocent and was deceived by her. For a woman like this who spews nonsense, father should immediately execute her and appease the injustice occasioned to Consort Lian. As for the Crown Prince, please consider the affection of flesh and blood and have a good talk with him. Begging Father Emperor to forgive!"

Li Wei Yang couldn't help but smile. Tuoba Zhen ah Tuoba Zhen! You are really powerful.

In a few words, you appear to be pleading and defending others whereas you are in fact telling people that the mastermind of all this is the Crown Prince! That you bribed this woman because of his instruction! To the Empress and the Crown Prince, you sound very loyal, still thinking of their good even at this point. But to the Emperor's ears, it is completely different!

In conclusion, Tuoba Zhen wanted the Emperor to choose. Between the crown Prince and the Empress and his beloved Concubine.

The Empress felt that she had to seize the opportunity, so she quickly left her seat to assist Consort Lian in standing up. "Sister, get up quickly. All this is because the Crown Prince was just too gullible, almost wronging you! You are pregnant with a dragon son, so you have to take care of yourself. The ground is so cold! Please don't kneel again!"

Consort Lian looked to the emperor with an aggrieved look. She got a nod in response. Thus she stood up and wiped her tears before moving back to her seat.

However, before she reached her seat, she felt her stomach twitching violently.

She screamed out in pain and the female official next to her said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Not good! Consort Lian's condition isn't good. Seeking leave of your Majesty."

Hearing the implication, the Emperor ordered: "Go quickly!"

The female official called for people to help Consort Lian who was sweating profusely. Together, they moved Consort Lian out of the banquet hall.

Knowing that this was a symptom of labor, the Empress's expression collapsed. However, she maintained her smile. The result was a very distorted picture.
