Chapter 305 Relinquishing Power
However, after the cheers subsided, everyone's minds were disturbed by the name that Eunuch Wei was calling out.
"He Yuyan? Isn't that the cousin who has already been executed?"
Fifth Aunt exclaimed in shock.
"Eunuch Wei...you, did you mispronounce the name?"
The Marquis also looked at Eunuch Wei with a puzzled expression.
However, Eunuch Wei did not answer them; his eagle-like gaze pierced through He Yuyan.
Their gazes finally settled on Lu Hanting.
Eunuch Wei announced in a cold and solemn tone: "Commander Lu, the Emperor has decreed that you must enter the palace for an audience immediately."
This Lu Dushi is incredibly audacious, actually colluding with this vixen to pull off a scheme that deceived the Emperor.
Fortunately, someone reminded His Majesty and exposed all the evil deeds committed by He Yuyan.
"Your Highness, please save me! Please save Yan'er! Yan'er doesn't want to die!"
Now that things have come to this, He Yuyan has nothing left to hide.
But then she took off her veil and clung to Lu Hanting's leg, pleading.
"Yan'er, are you really Yan'er?"
The old lady looked at the person kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, and was startled.
what happened?
She wasn't Yan'er's stand-in, so how did she become Yan'er?
Seeing the old lady's frightened expression, He Yuyan looked at her.
"Grandma, it's me, Yan'er! I've been wronged! Yan'er doesn't want to die!"
He Yuyan shouted.
"Ting'er, this..."
The old lady looked at her eldest grandson, unsure of what to think.
She thought the person was dead, but now she has returned, only to face execution. What can she do?
Lu Hanting looked at He Yuyan with a pained expression.
"Yan'er, tell me the truth, did you do that to the baby?"
Today, Lu Hanting only needs one answer from her.
Seeing the prince's murderous gaze, He Yuyan swallowed hard.
"Your Highness, I... I'm not me, I was made by Dingxiang..."
Even now, He Yuyan is still unwilling to admit it.
If she admitted it, the prince might really think she was heartless and wouldn't save her.
However, it was precisely because of her words that Lu Hanting suddenly made up his mind.
"Eunuch Wei, let's go!"
He had already given Yan'er a chance, but she didn't cherish it.
Everyone watched as the young master and Eunuch Wei walked out together, leaving He Yuyan completely dumbfounded.
"Your Highness...Your Highness, are you no longer going to care about Yan'er?"
She shouted hoarsely from behind.
The prince stamped his foot, but without turning his head, he said, "Yan'er, since you have made a mistake, you must bear the consequences..."
After uttering those words, Lu Hanting resolutely walked out of the Marquis's residence.
"Do not……"
He Yuyan's eyes were bloodshot.
The prince has given up on himself; he no longer loves her.
Seeing He Yuyan kneeling on the ground roaring like a madwoman, Lord Gao said to his men, "Take her away!"
The officers stepped forward and swiftly handcuffed He Yuyan's hands.
Just as the person was about to be taken away, the old lady suddenly stepped forward and said, "Lord Gao, may I have a word with her?"
Lord Gao looked at the old lady, who seemed to have aged several years, and said, "Alright!"
"Yan'er, do you still remember what your biological mother looks like?"
The old lady's words startled He Yuyan, who then gave a cold smile.
"Grandma, I'm about to die, what's the point of asking this?"
"Yan'er, this matter concerns your life or death! Think it over carefully!"
The old lady looked at her with a serious expression.
However, He Yuyan curled her lips into a smile, "No need. Even if I told you, what difference would it make? You couldn't save me anyway..."
He Yuyan looked at Lord Gao.
"Let's go!"
After He Yuyan and the others left, Lu Chengping looked at his mother with a puzzled expression.
"Mother, what did you mean by the question you just asked that witch?"
"Shut up, Yan'er isn't a witch!"
The old lady scolded angrily.
"I...I was just asking!"
Lu Chengping said with dissatisfaction.
"Help me back, Granny Zhang!"
Today's events caused her great emotional turmoil.
Ting'er was summoned to the palace by the emperor, and no one knew what would happen to her. Meanwhile, Yan'er's situation had thrown her into complete disarray.
Ugh!
Outside the imperial city, Wu Weiwei had just come out of the palace when she saw Eunuch Wei leading Lu Hanting towards her.
"How did you end up in the palace?"
Lu Hanting was surprised.
May Mr. Wu be blessed with good fortune!
Eunuch Wei stepped forward to greet Wu Weiwei.
Wu Weiwei nodded to Eunuch Wei and then looked at Lu Hanting, "Your Highness, why can't I enter the palace?"
Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two, Eunuch Wei coughed.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is still waiting in the palace!"
Lu Hanting didn't care about Wu Weiwei for a moment and walked into the palace.
After the two left, Wu Weiwei turned around and looked in Lu Hanting's direction.
Your Highness, I'm afraid you're not going to be able to keep the white moonlight in your heart, are you?
On the road.
"Eunuch Wei, is this Lady Wu, summoned by the Emperor?"
Hearing the prince's words, Eunuch Wei laughed and said, "Commander Lu, you probably don't know, do you? Our Emperor gave Wu Dongjia a handwritten edict a long time ago, so she can enter the palace directly to see His Majesty without needing to be announced!"
Hearing this, Lu Hanting was surprised.
When did this happen?
Seeing the surprise in the prince's eyes, Eunuch Wei then recounted the imperial edict bestowed upon Wu Weiwei by the emperor when Wei Garden was established.
Qinzheng Hall.
The emperor looked at Lu Hanting, his face grim.
"Commander Lu, do you know your crime?"
Lu Hanting immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I do not know what I have done to anger you!"
"Hmph! Are you genuinely unaware, or are you feigning ignorance?"
Hearing the emperor's words, Lu Hanting thought of what had just happened, and his heart turned cold.
“Your Majesty, if this is due to the actions of my concubine, Lady Bei, then it is indeed my fault. I was too lenient with her, which led her to commit such a grave error…”
"Oh!"
The emperor smashed the inkstone he was holding over there.
Lu Hanting did not dodge, nor did he dare to dodge.
Blood immediately gushed from Lu Hanting's forehead after he was hit by the inkstone, a sight that chilled the eye.
However, Lu Hanting didn't even frown.
Seeing his composed demeanor, Emperor Mingcheng was even more furious.
"You still dare to argue! I am clearly referring to He Yuyan's faked death."
"Lord Lu, you are incredibly audacious! You actually conspired with her to deceive me!"
If Wu Weiwei hadn't submitted the evidence today, he wouldn't know how long he would have been fooled by Lu Hanting.
In short, Lu Hanting will not escape his punishment today.
"Guards! Take Lu Hanting to the prison and order the three judicial departments to conduct a joint trial. Let them thoroughly investigate what else he is hiding from me that I do not know!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Lu Hanting's eyes darkened.
Haha, is the emperor trying to use this incident to seize his power?
"Your Majesty, I have always been loyal to the Great Wei Dynasty, but I never imagined that I would fall to this state today, hahaha..."
Good, really good!
He wanted to see how Emperor Mingcheng would relinquish his power.
Seeing the guards coming to take him away, Lu Hanting snorted coldly.
"I can walk by myself!"
After Lu Hanting's figure disappeared from the main hall, Eunuch Wei looked at Emperor Mingcheng.
He asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you serious about making a move on Commander Lu?"
