Chapter 221 Father, I want to seek justice
"Second Prince, you are slandering me and the Third Prince!"
Bai Xin was crying as she spoke, "Second Prince, do you have any evidence? How dare you just say that! A woman's reputation is more important than her life. Although my motherland is small, I will not allow you to accuse me like this!"
"Evidence, that slave clearly can't speak, so why can she speak with your voice when I enter?"
"She was already disabled, so how did she get into Room No. 1? She was brought in by you two!" Ling Yao accused.
"Since the Second Prince said that she can't speak, how can he tell you that it was me and the Third Prince who brought her in?"
Bai Xin cried and looked at him angrily.
"Second brother, when Wang Xuewen and the others found you, your attendant said that you were the one who kept the slave in Linshui Pavilion. Why do you say today that we took him away?!" Ling Hao asked sternly.
"Your Majesty, the situation was critical yesterday. If you hadn't said that, outsiders would have suspected that Yao'er had committed murder on purpose.
But today, we are the only ones here, and we must explain everything to His Majesty, so as to clear Yao'er's name!"
When Concubine Liang heard several people chasing Ling Yao to refute, she quickly spoke to the emperor.
"In public, in front of everyone, he brought disgrace upon the royal family!"
The emperor looked at Concubine Liang angrily and said.
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of this that Yao'er has been wronged, and I beg the emperor to clear his name."
"It was this bitch who had an affair with the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince Consort that led Yao'er into the trap. They put this person in there to anger Yao'er, frame her, and make her be cursed by the world!"
Concubine Liang looked at them and cursed them harshly.
"Empress Liang Fei, if that's the case, please bring that lowly slave over here and let him identify us to see if Second Brother has really been wronged!" Ling Hao said to Empress Liang Fei.
"Father, I beg you to ask Wang Xuewen to bring her here so that she can identify her. Otherwise, I, the Sixth Prince Consort, and my cousin's wife would be framed like this, which would hurt the harmony of our family!"
Ling Hao also knelt down and spoke sincerely.
"Okay, bring the person here!"
After the emperor said this, he gave a look to the eunuch Su beside him. The eunuch Su took his orders and was about to walk out.
"Father, there is no need to summon that slave. I don't want to see her!" Ling Yao thought of something and hurriedly stopped him.
"Yao'er, don't you want to clear your name?" The emperor looked up at him and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, that slave is ugly. Yao'er is injured and dislikes that slave!"
Liang Fei said quickly.
"Empress Liang Fei, if you don't bring him up, how can you clear Second Brother's name?" Yu Ran said with a sneer.
"Father, please also clear the name of the Prince Consort!"
Then Ling Yuran also knelt down and said to the emperor.
Lu Shuru stood aside, looking at Ling Yao coldly, not saying a word from beginning to end.
"Bring it up!"
The emperor said to Eunuch Su who had stopped and was waiting for orders that there had been such a big fuss just now and now they said not to bring him up, he wanted to see what other tricks there were.
Not long after, Eunuch Su came with two guards, dragging Yu Qingling, who was unable to walk and limp, to the front of the palace.
The two guards threw her to the ground, bowed and retreated.
When the emperor saw the person coming, before he could say anything, Ling Hao immediately stood up angrily and slapped Yu Qingling twice.
"It's you. You weren't beaten to death? Tell me, who saved you?!" Ling Hao glared at her fiercely.
"You are the one that Second Brother keeps? Could it be that Second Brother rescued you?!"
Yu Qingling couldn't speak or refute. She just stared and lay on the ground, shaking her head.
"Hao'er!"
Seeing how excited he was, the emperor shouted coldly.
"Father, if my second brother said that I should not use this woman to frame him, it may be true, but this woman, I will kill her when I see her!"
Ling Hao bowed and spoke to the emperor, unable to suppress his anger.
"Why!"
Seeing Ling Hao so excited, the emperor asked in a cold voice.
"Father, it was her. It was she who bumped into Qingshi, causing Qingshi to be injured and the two children to be born prematurely!" Ling Hao said excitedly.
"I have ordered people to beat her to death. Who would have thought that she is still alive today? I will kill her now!"
"Second brother, tell me, why is she still alive?!"
Ling Hao then turned to look at Ling Yao and asked in a cold voice.
"Third brother, are you going to be the first to complain today? " Ling Yao looked at him coldly and asked.
"You framed me and made me look bad in public, and now you're accusing me of harming your concubine and child?!"
"Your Majesty, you can always find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime! Hao'er's behavior just now was because he wanted to strike first!" Concubine Liang cried.
"You're talking nonsense!" Ling Hao looked at Liang Fei and said, unable to hide his excitement.
For a moment, several people were on the verge of a fight.
The emperor looked at the performance of several people and understood something in his heart. He looked at them coldly without saying a word.
"Father!"
At this time, Lu Shuru, who had been silent for a long time, knelt down in front of the emperor, saluted with righteousness and dignity, and then said.
"My son, I have a grievance to redress!"
After saying that, he glanced at Ling Yuran, who gave him an affirmative look.
"What's your grievance?"
The emperor looked at him and said in confusion.
The others also looked up at him.
"Father, I want to sue the Second Prince for collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country, slandering my father for concealing the mines, and killing my Lu family, causing my parents to die in injustice."
"Who are you? How dare you slander me!" Ling Yao looked at him coldly.
"Does His Highness Wang Dexin still remember the Ancheng Lu family?!" Shu Ru looked at him and sneered.
"The Lu family of Ancheng?" Ling Yao glanced at him, staring with eyes wide open, and then quickly regained his composure.
"You actually came to join in the fun, you're so brave!"
"Empress Liang Fei, my husband has a grievance and he must tell my father about it. You are not allowed to have any say!"
When Ling Yuran saw that Concubine Liang dared to scold Lu Shuru, she hurried forward to defend him. She was the Sixth Princess, and she was usually easy to talk to when she gave the concubine face, but today someone dared to say something bad about her husband, so she had to protect him no matter what.
Lu Shuru's eyes sparkled and he looked at her with deep gratitude.
"My dear Prince Consort, the Ancheng Lu family you mentioned is your family?"
When the emperor heard the secret, he also remembered that such an incident had happened before.
"That's right!" Lu Shuru bowed and said seriously.
"The Second Prince ordered Wang Dexin to get my father drunk and prevent him from reporting to the court. Then he used the excuse that my family had concealed the mines to kill my parents and relatives, embezzled my family property, filled his own warehouse, recruited soldiers, manufactured weapons, and expanded his own strength!"
"I am not a talented person, but I know Sima Zhao's intentions very well. I beg you to understand!"
"You slandered me with a death sentence without any basis?!" Ling Yao stared at him viciously.
"Your Highness, Wang Dexin is still alive!"
Lu Shuru stared back at him and said.
"Father, General Ye has been fighting all the way, but he was constantly blocked in Ancheng and Lancheng. He was always injured in assassinations when he returned to the city. I'm sure you can guess something without me telling you!"
"The Third Prince's child was born by Caesarean section at the age of eight months because of the maidservant's misfortune. The eldest prince almost died. The culprit was this woman. This woman was the second prince's private property!"
"Father, please check carefully and you will know everything!"
"If it weren't for the princess and the third prince thinking of the brotherhood, how could the second prince sit still for so long!"
The emperor looked at everything with cold eyes, his anger rising.
"Ling Yao, what do you want to say?"
