Eunuch Zheng also took a look. When he saw the woman's appearance clearly, he was so frightened that he gasped and whispered: "This is not the one who committed suicide out of fear of crime..."

The emperor's expression turned slightly stiff and he glanced at him. Eunuch Zheng realized that he had made a mistake, so he covered his mouth and swallowed the rest of his words.

Concubine Rou said in surprise: "Isn't this the wife of Liu Changhe, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard?"

An old minister said: "Didn't she commit suicide out of fear of crime?"

Other ministers and wives also recognized her, and they all responded and looked at the woman in surprise.

The woman cried bitterly, kowtowed heavily on the ground, and shouted injustice: "Your Majesty, the civilian woman is Li Shi, the wife of Liu Changhe, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army. There is another hidden reason for what happened back then. My husband was wronged! The civilian woman was wronged!"

Emperor Dongming said coldly: "Unjustly accused? Humph! How generous I was to Liu Changhe back then? How much I trusted Liu Changhe to give him the position of deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, but what about him? I am unworthy of the emperor's kindness.

Collude with foreign enemies and sell weapons!"

Prime Minister Xu said coldly: "You faked your death to deceive the emperor and sneaked into the palace with evil intentions! If you come, pull him out and kill him!"

There was no trace of panic on Ms. Li's face, but she said resolutely: "The Prime Minister hastily issued the order before the Emperor could say anything. Is it because he felt guilty? Doesn't Your Majesty not want to hear the truth of that year? Could it be that after all these years, Your Majesty has never doubted that, first of all,

My husband had no reason to treason and collaborate with the enemy, but he committed treason and collaboration with the enemy. Is there any hidden secret in this?"

The Imperial Guards were about to step forward, but then retreated. After all, they could only listen to the emperor.

"Hidden plot?" Prime Minister Xu's face turned dark. "He wants to climb higher. This is a hidden plot!"

Prince Li had heard about Liu Changhe's old case, but he was not born yet at that time and didn't pay much attention to it. He only heard about it a little bit.

When the emperor saw Prime Minister Xu's appearance, he became even more suspicious. This was his emperor's territory, and it was not his turn as a prime minister to give orders!

"Your Majesty, when my late husband suffered an unjust injustice, a common woman was also chased and jumped into a mountain stream in order to cover up a shocking scandal!" Mrs. Li knocked her head to the ground hard, and in the quiet Qiankun Palace, there was a lingering sound of thump.

The reverberation is heart-wrenching and unsettling.

A timid noble lady, the noble lady saw that her face was covered in blood and she looked so terrifying that she covered her mouth in shock.

However, Mrs. Li didn't care about the blood on her head. She didn't have much time left, and something would change later, and everything would be pushed to the point of no return.

Emperor Dongming had a bad premonition. The past was a thorn in his heart. He could not touch it. Even if it was brought out, he could not say it in front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the royal family and nobles.

Don’t pull people out! Pull people out!”

Without any further hesitation, the Imperial Guards came forward and two of them grabbed Li's arms, one from the left and one from the right, and tried to drag her out.

Prime Minister Xu and King Li breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they left the hall and were not under the emperor's nose, they would have plenty of ways to kill Li.

King Qin raised his hand to the emperor and said, "My son, I would like to hear about the past."

Concubine Rou reprimanded softly: "Didn't you hear what she said was a scandal? Do you still want to hear it? Are you embarrassing the royal family?"

An official came out and said: "Your Majesty, if we drag the Li family down like this, it will make everyone suspicious, and it will be even worse for the royal family."

"It makes sense!" Someone immediately agreed.

Someone whispered: "Since it is a scandal, it is better for the emperor to handle it privately. We should not know too much, otherwise we will die quickly."

Although the voice was small, it was enough for the emperor to hear.

"It makes sense!" Another group of people immediately echoed.

At this time, Li also calmed down and dragged her from under the throne to the outside of the palace, but there was still some distance.

She did not struggle, and said with a crazy smile: "Your Majesty has raised a son for others all these years, but he has held that son in the palm of his hand like a treasure! If he inherits the throne in the future, it will be great, and he will give away the great rivers and mountains.

People don’t know it yet! Haha, funny, funny!”

Prime Minister Xu looked around in fear and anxiety, but unfortunately her people hadn't appeared yet.

"Stop!" Emperor Dongming's face changed suddenly, he slowly stood up from the dragon chair, frowned and took a step forward: "What did you say? What do you mean?"

This matter concerns the royal bloodline and cannot be tolerated!

Everyone was so shocked that they opened their mouths. None of them expected that the so-called scandal was actually such a palace secret!

Shangguan Ruoli was worried that Emperor Dongming would kill everyone in the palace to silence him afterwards.

The imperial guards let go of Li, and she walked back to the front of the palace and knelt down upright.

He tucked the hair that had fallen loose during the kowtow behind his ears, straightened his clothes, and then said: "Everything the citizen woman said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood. Your Majesty is a wise king. You can kill the citizen woman after listening to this story."

Not too late!"

Prime Minister Xu's face was already ashen, and he managed to maintain his composure and said: "Your Majesty, we cannot let this bitch disturb the audience."

Concubine Rou said softly: "Your Majesty, it has come to this point. It is not good to be secretive. If everyone makes random guesses, won't the other princes be affected in vain?"

Concubine De also said: "Concubine Rou's words make sense."

"Yes, your Majesty, please take a closer look!" The other concubines immediately agreed in unison. No matter who that person was, if he fell, there would be one less person to compete with them for favor!

Make a fuss! Haha! The bigger the fuss, the better!

King Qin looked at Prime Minister Xu and said coldly: "Why do you look at Prime Minister Xu more anxious and panicked than your father?"

Emperor Dongming narrowed his eyes and looked at Prime Minister Xu suspiciously.

Prime Minister Xu looked pale and said hurriedly: "The minister is just afraid that bad people will disturb the emperor's hearing and ruin the reputation of the royal family!"

Li Shi sneered: "Really? Prime Minister Xu is afraid of something else, right?"

Emperor Dongming couldn't get off the tiger, so he took a few steps forward and then sneered: "Say, if you dare to deceive me again, I'll chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"

Prime Minister Xu fell limply to the ground as if all his strength had been drained from his body.

King Li's already pale face turned even paler, and the wine glass in his hand had been crushed by him. The broken porcelain pieces sank deeply into his palm, and blood dripped out without even realizing it.

Ms. Li breathed a sigh of relief and said resolutely: "Eighteen years ago, a civilian woman and her husband had just gotten married. They were filled with happiness. That night, Liu Changhe came back very late. As soon as he entered the house, he hugged her tightly.

The woman refused to let him go, with a sad look on her face. The woman felt uneasy and asked again and again, and he told a secret..."

Suddenly there was a sharp shout, and King Li flew up, clawing at Li's throat with one hand.

The incident happened suddenly, and before anyone who was about to listen to the story could react, King Li's hand had already reached Mrs. Li's face.

At this moment, the black shadow flashed, and King Li caught the opportunity.

Gu Lingran picked up Li's collar and teased: "What is Prince Li doing?"

"This bitch disrupted the palace banquet and intended to frame the prince. Damn it!" King Li was about to pounce on him again.
