Chapter 245 It's Your Fault for Going Out to Scare People
Lu Hanting looked up, a look of astonishment in his eyes.
Does the emperor not trust himself?
"What's wrong, Commander Lu? Are you worried?"
Lu Hanting's expression remained calm, but a chill ran through his heart.
"Since Your Majesty wishes to see her, then summon her to the palace. I have nothing to worry about."
"Very well, since Commander Lu has no objections, then I shall meet this 'weak' woman!"
After speaking, the emperor gave a wink to Eunuch Wei beside him, who then announced loudly, "Summon Bei Yu'er from the Marquis of Dingguo's residence to an audience!"
Qiu Xinyuan.
He Yuyan had just finished applying the medicine when Dingxiang rushed in.
"Miss, the Emperor has ordered you to come to the palace for an audience immediately."
"what!"
He Yuyan was surprised. Why would the emperor want to see her?
Has my identity been exposed?
"Miss, has His Majesty discovered that Master Shen switched you with another woman?"
Dingxiang's face showed worry.
He Yuyan lowered her eyes.
"No, if they had discovered it, they would have had me arrested as soon as I returned to the manor."
Why wait until now?
"If it's not that, then why did he summon you to the palace?"
why?
Dingxiang saw He Yuyan remove the veil from her face.
Then you could see strands of silk, like snake tongues, wrapped around and covering half of her face, making it seem even worse than before.
"girl……"
Dingxiang looked at her face, her expression filled with heartache.
"Why? Probably because they want to see my face!"
If she's not mistaken.
It's likely that someone caused trouble, making the emperor suspicious of her identity.
The reason for summoning her to the palace now is simply to confirm whether she is the real person.
She met Dingxiang's worried gaze.
"Look at me like this, would the emperor dare to look at me? Even Lu Hanting probably wouldn't recognize me!"
"Indeed, I'm afraid they wouldn't recognize it..."
Dingxiang felt heartbroken for her daughter.
She thought Mr. Shen would be the girl's savior, but who knew he would ruin her face.
However, upon hearing this, she seemed to understand Master Shen's intention.
"Young lady, to be honest, Master Shen may have ruined your face for this very reason."
He must have guessed that the Emperor would cause trouble for you, so…
"Even so, did he really need to resort to such a vicious method?"
"This……"
At this point, Dingxiang didn't know how to answer.
The young lady insisted on returning to the Marquis of Dingguo's residence and to the side of the heir apparent.
Master Shen probably had no other choice but to resort to such cruelty to the girl, right?
If the young lady had listened to Master Shen's advice and returned to the Northern Frontier to reunite with the Princess, she probably wouldn't be in this state of disfigurement today!
But she dared not say it aloud, after all, a young woman has her own thoughts.
A moment later, He Yuyan changed her clothes.
"Let's go!"
Jingyang Palace.
Consort Ji was overjoyed to learn that the Emperor had invited the woman Lu Hanting had rescued into the palace.
It seems the emperor listened to her advice.
Just as she was about to go see the play, a young palace maid hurriedly entered the hall.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from that person to you."
Consort Ji opened the letter, and after reading its contents, she gritted her teeth and said, "So, the woman who moved into the Green Pine Courtyard is the Red Widow?"
The palace maid who delivered the message said tremblingly, "Yes."
Master Shen has ordered you to do your best to rescue her from Lu Hanting's clutches. If you can't, then…
"How about it?"
Consort Ji gripped the thin sheet of paper tightly in her hand.
"Master Shen said, the mouth of a dead man is the most reliable!"
After the palace maid finished speaking, Consort Ji crumpled the paper in her hand into a ball, her face turning ashen, and said, "Good, very good."
Shen Bazhi is indeed ruthless.
My sister has been with him for seven years, and she loves him so much.
But this is how he treated his own sister.
But she couldn't disobey that person's orders.
There is no betrayal within the Black Hawk Gang.
Anyone who betrayed them is now just a pile of bones.
Even if she didn't want to, if she really couldn't save her sister, she would probably have no choice but to kill her.
"This humble woman, Bei Yu'er, greets Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
"Be flat!"
Emperor Mingcheng had been observing Lu Hanting's reaction since He Yuyan entered.
Upon the woman's arrival, he found himself completely calm, showing no emotion whatsoever.
Looking at the veiled woman before him, Emperor Mingcheng asked, "Is Bei Yu'er your name?"
"Back to the emperor, exactly."
He Yuyan raised her head slightly and replied calmly in a clear voice.
"Some people suspect that you are He Yuyan, the suspect whom I ordered to be beheaded. Remove your veil! I want to see your true face..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hanting frowned.
He Yuyan's body trembled slightly.
The emperor indeed began to doubt his own identity.
She glanced at Lu Hanting out of the corner of her eye, but saw that he did not react.
"Your Majesty, I contracted a strange disease when I was very young, which has ruined my appearance."
She wore a veil to avoid offending the emperor.
However, to prove my innocence, I am willing to remove my silk scarf, but…
"But what?"
The emperor frowned.
Could it be that she's afraid to remove her scarf to conceal her identity?
Or is she really so ugly that she scares herself?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Seeing that the emperor seemed not to believe her, He Yuyan pretended to be embarrassed.
"This humble woman is afraid that her ugly appearance will frighten the Emperor, so she dares not easily remove it..."
Hearing He Yuyan's words, the emperor waved to her.
"No need, you can peel it off!"
The emperor picked up the cup beside him and gently blew on the tea.
Although Lu Hanting did not look directly at He Yuyan, he kept an eye on her movements and expressions out of the corner of his eye.
When the emperor asked her to remove her veil, he could clearly see the curve of her lips.
"Very well! Since it is His Majesty's request, then this humble woman can only comply!"
Then He Yuyan covered her face with her hand and lightly removed the covering from her face in front of everyone.
"Cough cough!"
The emperor choked on a mouthful of tea, and Eunuch Wei quickly stepped forward to pat his back.
"You, you..."
Surprisingly, Emperor Mingcheng was actually frightened by He Yuyan's terrifying face.
"How dare you! You've frightened the Emperor! Quickly tie the veil back on!"
Standing to the side, Eunuch Wei loudly berated He Yuyan.
"Eunuch Wei, she was merely following the Emperor's orders. How can she be blamed for this..."
Seeing He Yuyan's aggrieved expression, Lu Hanting said coldly.
Seeing that Commander Lu was protecting this woman, Eunuch Wei dared not confront him.
He turned his gaze to the emperor.
The emperor was visibly terrified; his face was deathly pale.
She noticed Eunuch Wei's pleading look.
Although the emperor was displeased, he could not reprimand Lu Hanting.
"It's my fault, it has nothing to do with her!"
Although he said that, he was actually angry with this ugly monster.
It's not her fault that she's ugly, but it's her fault that she goes out and scares people.
Emperor Mingcheng seemed to have forgotten that it was he who had requested He Yuyan to come to the palace for an audience.
"Alright, alright, you may leave! I never want to see you again!"
A look of disgust flashed in Emperor Cheng's eyes.
It was a nightmare; I'm afraid I won't have any appetite for the next few days.
If it weren't for Lu Hanting protecting her, he probably would have had this woman executed.
Seeing the disgusted expression on the emperor's face, He Yuyan was deeply hurt.
At the same time, a deep hatred for the emperor welled up in her heart.
Looking at the prince beside him, he saw that the prince had his head down and had not said a word in his defense.
Could it be that he also thinks of her that way, believing that she is ugly and prone to making trouble?
