After my inner voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 103

However, Yongqi was a prince, and Emperor Qianlong could not impose severe punishment on him, so Erkang and Ertai became scapegoats.

These three people were once close brothers, but now they have embarked on different paths because of a conspiracy. They swore to share happiness and hardship, but now they have to bear Yongqi's sin together. The best way to insult a woman is to make her lose her virginity and become a whore; and the best way to insult a man is to make him lose his dignity as a man and become like a eunuch. There are many secret medicines in the palace, some of which are poisons that can make people unable to stand up forever.

Recalling the Queen's repeated attempts to murder the protagonists, Emperor Qianlong could not help but feel a complex emotion. This time, the Queen detained Ziwei in Kunning Palace, hoping to stop her from having an affair with Emperor Qianlong. However, she did not expect that this move would lead Emperor Qianlong to have a crazy conspiracy theory, causing Yongqi to fall out of favor and the Fu brothers to be crippled.

Some people say that if you plant flowers with care, they may not bloom, but if you plant willows by accident, they may grow into shade trees. The mystery of fate is really hard to predict. After Yongqi woke up, he didn't know that Emperor Qianlong was completely disappointed in him. He was still immersed in his dream of ascending the throne and making Xiaoyanzi the queen. He didn't know that all this had become a bubble, and what awaited him would be endless regret and pain. In this game of power, everyone is a chess piece, and they are all heading towards their own endings according to the arrangement of fate.

Hearing that there was a way to break the Heart-Breaking Palm, Yongqi's face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if covered by a dark cloud. Her brows were furrowed, the corners of her mouth drooped, and she felt as sick as if she had eaten a fly, with an indescribable feeling of disgust churning in her stomach. Her eyes revealed deep doubts and dissatisfaction, as if this sudden hope brought a secret that could not be told.

At noon, the sun was hanging in the sky like a fireball, scorching the earth mercilessly, and every inch of the land seemed to be groaning. Yongqi was wearing a tight training suit, and her back was soaked with sweat. Her hair was tightly attached to her skin. She had to hit the wooden stakes under the scorching sun for four hours. Every time she punched, she felt heavy, and her sweat dripped onto the dry ground and evaporated instantly. Despite this, it was still bearable. After all, physical pain was better than the torment in her heart.

However, he had to fumigate himself with cow dung, which was simply ridiculous. Yongqi was full of doubts and resentment. She stared at Balang in disbelief, wondering: What kind of treatment is this? Is it the Queen who is behind this? Thinking of this, her eyes became sharper, as if she wanted to penetrate all the hypocrisy and get to the core of the truth.

But there was no other way, saving her life was the most important thing. The pain when the Heart-Breaking Palm attacked was like thousands of needles piercing her heart at the same time, making her want to live but not die. Many times, Yongqi gritted her teeth, veins popped on her forehead, and she almost wanted to bang her head against the wall to get relief. So, she endured the severe pain and punched the pile every day. Every time she punched, it was like fighting against death. At the same time, she had to endure the pungent smell of cow dung, as if she was in hell on earth.

After seven days, Yongqi finally healed the internal injuries. However, after being smoked with cow dung, the odor on her body was indescribable, so stinky that it was like a demon crawling out of hell, making people avoid her.

As soon as Xiaoyanzi approached her, her face turned pale, she vomited the overnight meal, and shouted, "Wow! It stinks!" There was fear and disgust in her voice, as if Yongqi had turned into a monster. The stench was so disgusting that she thought of the stench in the Jinling subway, which was like a nightmare and left her with lingering fears.

Yongqi wanted to get closer to her and talk, but Xiaoyanzi quickly waved her hands, her eyes full of disgust and fear: "Don't come over! You almost killed me with your stink!" After saying that, she was so scared that she ran away, as if Yongqi was a source of infection and she would be infected if she was not careful.

Yongqi felt a pain in her heart when she saw how she was being despised. She lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. She knew that all this was for the sake of survival, to break the curse of the Broken Heart Palm. But why did she choose this way?

Meanwhile, Erkang and Ertai's experiences were even worse. They followed Yongqi's words and followed the same torture of being hit by stakes and fumigated with feces for seven days. They thought the nightmare was about to end and they could start a new life. However, as soon as the Heart-Breaking Palm was released, Li Yu sent an edict, saying that they had offended the emperor with their words and deeds and wanted to beat them with forty sticks.

This beating was ordered by Emperor Qianlong himself, and it was particularly brutal. Erkang and Ertai were pinned to the ground, and the beatings were repeated on their backs, tearing their skin and flesh, bloody and horrible to look at. Their moans and cries for mercy were intertwined, but they did not receive any mercy.

However, as a member of the main cast of Huanzhu, they have their own aura, like the immortal cockroaches. Although Qianlong secretly ordered a heavy beating, they appeared alive and kicking a few days later, as if nothing had happened. Their smiles were still bright, as if the pain was just a passing cloud.

However, what they didn't know was that the imperial physician secretly added a chronic poison to their wounds. This poison is colorless and tasteless, but it can lurk in the human body for many years, slowly corroding their bodies. Now, they are doomed to have no sexual happiness for the rest of their lives, let alone being a complete man. This is undoubtedly a cruel joke that fate played on them.

The protagonists were in a gloomy mood, and the romantic emperor Qianlong was not having a good time either. Sitting in the magnificent palace, he felt unprecedented loneliness and emptiness. He was really not used to the local climate. After returning to the palace, he always felt uncomfortable and out of place.

Thinking about the days in Da Yan, it was so pleasant. There were his favorite barbecues, various high-quality fruits, convenient tap water, toilets, massage rooms, refrigerators, air conditioners... There were also busy supermarkets, buses, subways... Everything there made him feel comfortable and satisfied.

But after staying in the Forbidden City for so many years, Qianlong felt that everything here made him uncomfortable. He missed everything in Da Yan, and missed the freedom and happiness there. He sighed helplessly, his heart full of yearning and attachment to Da Yan. He knew that if he wanted to enjoy the good life at any time, he could only hope that Li Qingge would accept the abdication, break the gap between the north and the south, and introduce modernization.

While the protagonists were busy, the beauty pageant in the southern Yan also reached its climax. Li Qingge sat on the high dragon throne, her eyes swept over the ministers kneeling below, and she felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart. She first issued an order to hold a nationwide audition, saying that it was to enrich the royal guard of honor, but in fact she wanted to diversify aesthetics and let a hundred flowers bloom.

However, because of the problems with the imperial examination, the audition was delayed again and again. It was not until the students finished the exam and arranged their internships that the matter was brought up again. Li Qingge knew that everyone had their own preferences, and beauty was like food, which was difficult to satisfy everyone. But she believed that through this audition, she would be able to find those beauties who could truly represent the beauty of Da Yan.

Thus, a grand beauty pageant kicked off in Dayan. Beauties from all over the country flocked to the capital, wearing gorgeous clothes and precious jewelry, hoping to shine in this beauty pageant. Li Qingge sat on the high dragon throne, quietly waiting for the beauties who could touch her heart to appear.

Li Qingge stood in her spacious and bright studio. Outside the window was a bustling urban scene, but in her heart she was conceiving a painting of beauty that transcended time and space. Her eyes passed through the bustling crowd, as if she could penetrate the dust of time and see the handsome men and beautiful women who were about to be selected by her. Her plan was bold and unique. She would select twelve handsome men and twelve beautiful women based on their different faces and temperaments, draw an eternal painting of beauty for them, and then keep it forever in the National Library so that future generations can see what true beauty is like.

This idea has been brewing in her mind for a long time. She knows that this is not just a painting, but also an exploration and celebration of beauty. In her mind, beauty is diverse, it is the harmonious unity of facial features and temperament, and it is the perfect combination of inner and outer. And this time, she wants to present this beauty to the world in the most direct and vivid way.

Among the twenty-four handsome men and beautiful women, two candidates have been selected, they are the third place winner Pope and the talented woman Du Ruolan. Pope, the third place winner who stood out in the imperial examination, is not only talented, but also has a stunning face. His facial features are as delicate as sculptures, and his temperament is gentle and elegant, as if he is an immortal who walked out of an ancient painting. Du Ruolan is the best among the talented women. Her beauty lies not only in her delicate facial features, but also in her elegant temperament, like a secluded orchid in a valley, which makes people yearn for her.

Li Qingge has her own unique understanding of beauty. She believes that human beauty can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the beauty of facial features and face shape, which often makes people amazed at first sight; the other is the beauty of temperament, which may seem ordinary at first sight, but the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes, and that kind of temperament is really heart-moving. However, when drawing pictures of beauties, the outline of facial features still accounts for the majority. After all, temperament is something that is difficult to describe and even more difficult to capture. The beauty of facial features, however, has a direct impact, especially when it is photographed or painted into a picture and passed on, it can make people feel the amazement at first sight.

Among the many face shapes, Li Qingge's favorite is not the oval face, but the oval face. Although the oval face is delicate, it always lacks a sense of grandeur. The oval face, on the other hand, has smooth and soft facial lines and a rounded chin, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling. People with this face shape are generally very blessed, especially girls. Li Qingge thought of Xue Baochai in "Dream of Red Mansions", who is a classic representative of the oval face. The book describes her: "Her lips are red without any paint, her eyebrows are emerald green without any painting, her face is like a silver basin, and her eyes are like water apricots." This kind of beauty, which is both delicate and grand, is exactly what Li Qingge pursues.

In order to find the most suitable candidate, Li Qingge began a long journey of searching. She walked through the streets and alleys, observing the faces and temperaments of countless people. Sometimes, she would stop on the bustling streets and stare at the passers-by; sometimes, she would walk into a quiet cafe and quietly observe the customers there. Her eyes were sharp and keen, and she could always capture those unique beauties at the first time.

During this process, Li Qingge also encountered many challenges. Some people have exquisite facial features, but their temperament is too mediocre; some people have outstanding temperament, but their facial features are not perfect enough. She knows that it is not easy to find candidates who meet both beautiful facial features and beautiful temperament. But it is this challenge that makes her more determined. She believes that as long as she looks carefully, she will definitely find those real beauties.

Finally, after countless searches and screenings, Li Qingge found the 24 handsome men and beautiful women. Among them, there are gentle and talented women, handsome scholars, elegant nobles, and simple civilians. Their facial features and temperaments are different, but they are all perfectly presented in Li Qingge's writing.

In the process of painting beauties, Li Qingge puts all her efforts into it. She uses her heart to feel the beauty of each person and uses her brushstrokes to capture that unique temperament. Her brushstrokes are delicate and vivid, depicting each person's facial features and temperament vividly. Every time she finishes a painting, she feels an indescribable satisfaction and joy.

As time went by, the painting of beauties gradually took shape. The twenty-four handsome men and beautiful women came to life under Li Qingge's brush, as if they were about to walk out of the painting. Their facial features were delicate and vivid, and their temperaments were elegant and unique, making people feel their stunning beauty at first sight.

When the last stroke fell, Li Qingge knew that her painting of beauty was finally completed. This painting is not only an exploration and praise of beauty, but also her love and blessing for the world. She hopes that future generations can feel the eternal beauty and endless charm through this painting.

So she sent the painting to the National Library to be treasured there forever. She knew that no matter how time passed, the painting would always shine with its brilliance, allowing future generations to see what true beauty is like. And she herself would also remain in people's hearts forever because of this painting.

The beauty of an oval face is indeed poetic and picturesque. The perfect amount of white space seems to be the most exquisite carving between heaven and earth, allowing the facial features to stretch freely on this broad canvas and bloom with endless charm. This face shape gives people a sense of elegance, dignity and elegance, just like the peony carefully cultivated in the ancient palace, each petal contains noble temperament, and each leaf exudes elegant fragrance.

Li Qingge stood in front of the bronze mirror, carefully examining her face. Her oval face was the source of her confidence. Her facial features were perfectly distributed, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her nose was straight, and her lips were plump, each of which seemed like a gift from God. This face shape allowed her to easily control all kinds of gorgeous and complicated jewelry. Whether it was dazzling gems or delicate pearls, they could all find the most perfect home on her face, making the whole look more noble and elegant, as if she was a fairy walking out of a painting, making people unforgettable at first sight.

However, Li Qingge knew that this kind of beauty did not belong to her alone. In this era, many women have the same beautiful faces, but for various reasons, they cannot show this beauty to the fullest. Especially those actresses, their costumes in film and television dramas are often disappointing. The headdress is as simple as a widow who has just experienced the pain of losing her husband, lifeless, not to mention the temperament of a princess. Their face shape is mostly the kind of Internet celebrity cone face, with a small face and a pointed chin, as if it can be blown down by a gust of wind. They can't support those precious and gorgeous jewelry at all. Instead, they look more like maids working hard in a wealthy family.

Thinking of this, Li Qingge couldn't help but shake her head. She understood that true beauty needs to be discovered and shaped with heart. So, she decided to hold an audition to select twelve real beauties and draw a beauty picture for them, so that future generations can see what true beauty looks like.

As soon as the news of the audition was released, it caused a sensation. Countless women flocked to the stage, hoping to become one of the 12 lucky winners. Li Qingge sat on the high platform and looked at these women one by one. They were either pure and elegant, or charming, or gentle and lovely, or heroic... Each of them had her own unique beauty. However, Li Qingge's eyes were always looking for the kind of woman who could control all kinds of gorgeous and complicated jewelry and show a noble and elegant temperament.

Finally, when the audition was about to end, Li Qingge found the twelve beauties in her mind. Their face shapes were different, but they all had one common feature - that is, they could perfectly show the beauty of oval faces. Li Qingge was very happy and immediately drew a picture of beauties for them. This painting not only showed their beauty, but also their temperament and charm.

With the end of the auditions, the Twelve Beauties Painting was finally released. Li Qingge looked at this painting that had condensed her efforts, and her heart was filled with satisfaction and pride. At this time, the system also sent good news - she got the manufacturing technology and drawings of the tank.

Tanks, a military weapon known as the "king of land warfare", are undoubtedly a huge surprise to Li Qingge. She knows very well that tanks will play a vital role in the upcoming war. Compared with the fighter jets of the Air Force and the aircraft carriers of the Navy, tanks are simply invincible on land. It has super direct firepower and can easily destroy the enemy's defense line; it has a high degree of off-road mobility and can walk on flat ground in various complex terrains; it also has terrifying defense power, even a volley of guns and cannons can hardly penetrate its solid armor.

In Li Qingge's imagination, the army composed of tanks was like a torrent of steel, destroying everything wherever it went. In front of it, shields, armor and other things were so fragile that they could not withstand a single blow. She seemed to have seen the scene of being invincible and unstoppable, and her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

At the morning court, when the ministers heard Li Qingge talk about the power of tanks, they were so surprised that they were speechless. They had never thought that there would be such a terrifying military weapon in the world. With this thing, it would be easy to destroy a country. The addition of tanks also made up for the shortcomings of the army, allowing the navy, army and air force of the Great Yan Dynasty to reach an unprecedented state of perfection.

So far, the Great Yan Dynasty has become the most powerful country in the world. However, even though the country is so powerful, Li Qingge is still not satisfied. As a person who traveled from the future, she clearly knows what earth-shaking changes will happen in the next two hundred years. In the past life, Eastern countries were bullied so badly by Western countries that netizens even laughed and joked that "Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera, Ming novels, and Qing treaties". Those humiliating histories, like a deep mark, were engraved in her heart.

She vowed to make those white people pay double for the crimes they committed. However, before that, she must first complete the unification of the north and the south. Only when China is unified can the national strength reach its peak and the great Eastern country stand at the top of the world. She has already agreed to the conditions for Qianlong's abdication. She only needs to wait for Xiaoyanzi and others to deal with their affairs, and then let Qianlong clean up the corruption in the harem of the previous dynasty, and then the big things will be settled. Li Qingge estimated the time. Within a year, the north and the south will be unified. Her heart is full of expectations and longings. She knows that although this road is difficult, as long as she persists, she will be able to reach the end.

The Queen had a close relationship with Li Qingge and was well aware of her ambitions. She was also actively promoting the unification of the North and the South, hoping to see the grand scene of the unification of China as soon as possible. The two often discussed state affairs together and made plans for the future of the country.

After waiting for a long time, Nanny Tian finally entered the palace. Her arrival undoubtedly brought good news to Li Qingge. Entering the palace with her was Fu Heng's second son, Fu Longan. Fu Longan was not only of noble status, but also an important official in the court. His appearance made the truth that was about to be revealed even more eye-catching.

It has to be said that Fu Heng's Shaji Fucha clan is really powerful. They have a deep foundation and super recovery ability. Before, they were hit so badly by Li Qingge, and Fu Heng, Fu Ling'an, and Fu Cha Mingrui fell one after another, but their family still played an important role in the court. This time, Fu Long'an brought Nanny Tian into the palace to reveal the truth, which was like a huge storm that instantly swept the entire harem.

Li Qingge stood aside, quietly observing all this. She knew that this storm was just the beginning, and the real battle was still to come. But she was ready, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, she would go on firmly until she achieved her goal - to make the Eastern power stand at the top of the world!
The queen sat on the phoenix throne in Kunning Palace, her eyes were like torches, staring closely at the movements of the Fucha clan outside the window. Her eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness and coldness, as if she could see through all conspiracies and tricks. As soon as Fu Longan and Nanny Tian appeared at the palace gate, she immediately sent Ziwei out of the dark room, like sending a carefully arranged chess piece.

Ziwei, the once gentle and lovely woman, now seems like a ghost imprisoned in the dark room of Kunning Palace. She cannot see the sun and lives in darkness day after day. Her heart has long been distorted by endless fear and despair. Her face is pale and haggard, and her eyes are flashing with complex emotions, both resentment and helplessness.

When Ziwei returned to Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi came to greet her immediately, her eyes full of concern and anxiety. She asked Ziwei about her experience in Kunning Palace, wanting to know whether she was tortured to find out whether she was a real princess or a fake princess. However, Ziwei just sneered, and her laughter revealed an indescribable weirdness and sadness.

"Ziwei, what are you laughing at? What did the Queen do to you? Why do you seem like a different person after coming back?" Xiaoyanzi felt creepy when she saw Ziwei's weird smile. She held Ziwei's hand tightly, trying to find a trace of warmth and comfort in it.

"Yes, Ziwei, what happened to you? Tell me!" Yongqi was also very anxious. He stood aside with a frown in his eyes, full of worry and confusion. Since he was injured, he felt that Qianlong's attitude towards him had changed subtly. The indifference and neglect made him unbearable. He was worried that all this was because Xiaoyanzi's fake identity was exposed. If this was true, Xiaoyanzi might be executed for deceiving the emperor. Thinking of this, his heart was as painful as being cut by a knife.

Yongqi's face was terribly gloomy, and there was a hint of ferocity in it. His usual gentlemanly demeanor was gone, replaced by an almost crazy persistence and determination. He couldn't lose Xiaoyanzi, the woman he loved deeply, the beautiful deer he had shot in the paddock.

"Xiaoyanzi, Fifth Prince, what do you mean? Do you think Ziwei is the kind of person who is afraid of death and betrays her friends? She is well-educated, gentle and dignified, how could she be that kind of person?" Erkang stood aside and defended Ziwei fiercely. He regarded Ziwei as the hope of the whole family and the future partner, so of course he had to do his best to protect the interests of Zhen Gege.

"Erkang, you--" Xiaoyanzi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Erkang.

"What else do I need to say? Ziwei is the one who suffered the most in this matter, okay? She is the emperor's biological daughter. If it weren't for Xiaoyanzi, how could she have fallen to such a state? She even gave up her status as a princess, and you still doubt her sincerity. It's really chilling." Erkang's words were sharp, firing like a machine gun. His eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if he wanted to put all the blame on Xiaoyanzi.

In Erkang's view, all this is Xiaoyanzi's fault, and Ziwei is the most innocent victim. However, his words deeply hurt Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi's hearts.

"Erkang, you're exaggerating. Ziwei is wronged, but isn't Xiaoyanzi wronged too? Once the identity of the fake princess is exposed, she may be beheaded for deceiving the emperor. Xiaoyanzi is worried every day, unable to eat or sleep well. She is already pitiful enough. You still say this to her. You are so cruel. Are you still my good brother?" Yongqi stood in front of Xiaoyanzi, glaring at Erkang, his voice trembling and resolute.

"That's right, that's right, I'm the one who suffers the most! Erkang, you only have Ziwei in your eyes, and you don't care about my life or death, you are so heartless." Xiaoyanzi felt uneasy after being scolded by Erkang, but after hearing Yongqi's explanation, she also felt wronged and pitiful. Her eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes, as if they would fall at any time.

"You--" Erkang was so angry that he couldn't speak. He stared at Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through them.

However, Xiaoyanzi continued with confidence: "What did you say? Was I wrong? If I hadn't risked my life to break into the enclosure, how would the emperor know that there was a daughter like me among the people? It was me who created the opportunity for them father and daughter. You should thank me, why are you blaming me instead?" There was a hint of complacency and pride in her words, as if she had done something great.

However, these words deeply angered Ziwei. She stood up in anger, her face livid and she shouted: "Xiaoyanzi, how dare you say such shameless words? It was you who used my mother's relics to rob my father and my noble status, and enjoyed the wealth and glory that should have belonged to me. If I hadn't taken into account the sisterly love and couldn't bear you to die for the crime of deceiving the emperor, I would have told the truth to the emperor long ago. Not only did you not appreciate my kindness in saving your life, but you said such words. You are too cruel, too ruthless, and too unreasonable!" Her voice echoed in Shufangzhai, shaking everyone's eardrums.

After scolding Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei turned her attention to Yongqi. She stared at Yongqi with wide eyes, her eyes flashing with anger and disappointment: "In terms of blood, I am your biological sister, how do you treat me? For this woman who has nothing to do with me, you have repeatedly favored and indulged me, and even said such bad things to me. Is this how you act as a brother? It is said that the royal family is ruthless and will turn their backs on you. Today I have seen it. You are really my good brother!" Her voice was choked with sobs and sadness.

Yongqi said angrily: "Xia Ziwei, how can you say that..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Erkang's roar.

"Enough!" Erkang suddenly roared, his voice shaking the furnishings in Shufangzhai. "Don't you think things are chaotic enough? We are already in the same boat, and no one can tell us apart. Once the secret of the real and fake princess is exposed, all participants will be to blame. Instead of blaming each other, we might as well think of a solution." His eyes flashed with firmness and determination, as if he had already made plans for the worst.

After hearing this, everyone gradually calmed down. They looked at each other, with complex emotions flashing in their eyes. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not get rid of this dilemma. Their original plan to use the golden medal of immunity from death has been completely ruined because of the influence of Li Qingge's change of the plot. The queen had long known the inside story and took the initiative to lay a net. The current Qianlong is no longer the Qianlong in the play. He is obsessed with the life and death of the Qing Dynasty. How can he care about these things?

Shufangzhai fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei started to fight each other, accusing and scolding each other. Xiaoyanzi scolded Ziwei for being selfish, ignoring sisterhood and trying to force her to death; Ziwei was so angry that she trembled all over and scolded Xiaoyanzi for being a liar, cheating her of everything and ruining the reputation of her mother Xia Yuhe.

In the Yangxin Palace, the storm was also raging. Fu Longan and Nanny Tian knelt before Qianlong and reported everything they had learned. Qianlong sat on the dragon throne and listened to their report with a serious face. There was a sharp light flashing in his eyes, as if he could see through all the truth.

"I was ordered by the emperor to repair Xia Yuhe's tomb by the Daming Lake in Jinan," said Nanny Tian. "I learned from the local officials through the household registration that Xia Yuhe's daughter is named Xia Ziwei." There was a hint of trembling and nervousness in her words, as if she was afraid that she had said a wrong word.

"After hearing the news, I was shocked and couldn't believe it," Nanny Tian continued, "so I conducted a detailed investigation locally. The Xia family, to which Xia Yuhe belongs, is a prominent family in the Daming Lake area. The fact that they gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock nineteen years ago caused a sensation, and almost everyone knew about it." Her voice echoed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, causing Qianlong's eardrums to hurt.

Qianlong listened to Nanny Tian's report, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. He didn't expect that he had been deceived for so long! He stared at Fu Longan and Nanny Tian with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through them. His fingers were tightly clasped on the armrests of the dragon throne, as if he wanted to crush them.

"You keep talking!" Qianlong's voice was low and powerful, as if it could penetrate all obstacles. "I want to hear what else they are hiding!" His eyes flashed with determination and resoluteness, as if he had already made plans for the worst.

In the magnificent Yangxin Palace, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed like water could drip out. Emperor Qianlong sat on the high dragon throne, his brows knitted, his eyes sharp as a knife, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "I have asked more than a dozen people involved, and they all said that the daughter born to Xia Yuhe was named Ziwei, and was definitely not the Xiaoyanzi you called."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, shaking Qianlong's heart. He widened his eyes in disbelief, and his eyes wandered back and forth between Tian Mama and Fu Longan, trying to find a clue that could overturn this fact. Tian Mama's face was calm and her eyes were firm. She confirmed again: "Indeed, I have repeatedly verified that the woman's name is indeed Ziwei." After saying this, her eyes inadvertently swept over Fu Longan, which was a kind of silent tacit understanding and trust.

Seeing this, Fu Longan's expression became more solemn. He knew that this matter was of great importance and he had to be cautious at every step. So, he said in a deep voice: "This matter concerns the reputation of the royal family. Nanny Tian dare not act rashly. She is even more afraid that someone will secretly take action and let the truth sink to the bottom of the sea forever. It happened that someone in the Fucha family worked in Jinan, so Nanny Tian found this person and asked him to send someone to escort Ziwei to Beijing safely. Then I will personally bring her to the palace and report everything to you."

Upon hearing this, Qianlong was furious, and his face instantly turned red, as if he had been slapped in the face. He glared at the people below, feeling mixed emotions. Xiaoyanzi, the woman who once made him feel pity, was actually an elaborate scam? He thought to himself, could it be that someone was jealous of Xiaoyanzi's favor and deliberately made up a lie to frame her? But then he thought again, the essence of the struggle between the harem and the former dynasty is nothing more than the desire for supreme power. Xiaoyanzi is just a woman. Even if she is favored, she has no chance of the throne. Who would go to such great lengths to make up such a lie to frame her? What's more, the Fucha family is famous and has no grudge against Xiaoyanzi. How could they frame her for no reason?

Thinking of this, Qianlong became even more furious. He shouted, "How dare that daring wild girl deceive me and make my own daughter a slave!" He slammed the dragon table, making the tea sets on the table ping-pong. "Li Yu, quickly call Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, Ziwei, Erkang and others. If they don't come, tie them up and bring them to see me!"

Li Yu trembled when he heard this, and he quickly responded and hurriedly left the palace. Not long after, Xiaoyanzi and her group were brought to the front of the Yangxin Palace. Their clothes were a little messy, and their expressions were different, but they were all terrified. They knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Greetings to the Emperor/Father, long live the Emperor/Father!"

Qianlong sneered, his eyes like torches, scanning the crowd: "Emperor Father? How dare you call me that? I don't have such a good son or daughter!"

Seeing this, Yongqi was shocked, but he still mustered up his courage, stepped forward a few steps, bowed and said: "Father, what have I done wrong to make you so angry? There must be a reason, right?"

Qianlong's eyes widened with anger, and he said sternly, "How dare you ask! Rebellious son, you first concealed the true and false princesses, conspired with others to deceive me, and then broke into Kunning Palace without permission, intending to assassinate the queen. Do you still have me as your father and king in your eyes?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyanzi and the others all turned pale and were horrified. The truth was finally exposed! For a moment, the hall fell into a dead silence, with only the sound of everyone's rapid breathing echoing.

Yongqi wanted to explain himself, but was interrupted by Qianlong's angry shout: "Shut up! Rebellious son, stop quibbling! What do you mean by regarding me as your father? You are just a gangster, unruly and unruly. Are you worthy of recognizing me as your father? Don't you see if you are worthy?"

Qianlong's eyes turned to Xiaoyanzi, and his eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze everything. "Deceiving the emperor, impersonating others, and confusing the royal bloodline are all unforgivable crimes punishable by death. What else do you have to say?"

Xiaoyanzi's face was sallow and her lips were trembling. Although she was born in a humble family, she had a natural reverence for the imperial power. Facing Qianlong's angry rebuke, she knew that she was on the road to death, but she dared not resist any more. "Father Emperor, I...I..."

Qianlong was furious and shouted, "What emperor, I don't have a daughter like you!"

Xiaoyanzi trembled, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "Your Majesty, I... I really didn't mean it, it's all a misunderstanding..." She tried to explain, telling how she accidentally entered the enclosure and how she became Princess Huanzhu by accident, her words full of regret and helplessness.

"I know it's wrong to do this, and I thought about returning Ziwei's identity to her, but you had already recognized me at that time, and if I told the truth, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. People are afraid of death, and so am I, so I just went with the flow and pretended to be fine. But I really didn't intend to usurp Ziwei's identity, and I never thought things would turn out like this. Your Majesty... I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me for the sake of our past relationship..."
