Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Five commoners were brought into the hall. As soon as they entered, they fell to the ground and begged for justice.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please help us!”

“Tell me, what difficulties do you have?” Feng Yijin asked. He did not forget to glare at Yu Yunxi at the same time.

‘She’s really amazing. She even knows how to act first and report later!’

To maintain the image of a wise ruler, Feng Yijin naturally could not openly dismiss these people. He could only allow them to speak.

The commoners then began to speak about Yu Pengtian’s evil deeds to their children.

“Your Majesty, my poor child was only eight years old when he was thrown into a mass grave by the people of Jade Manor! H-his corpse was bloody, and he was disemboweled…”

“My daughter is only five years old! She was abandoned on the streets by the people of Jade Manor! Her body is riddled with wounds, and the doctor said that she would not live…”

The crying grew louder and louder, and Feng Yijin’s expression turned gloomier and gloomier.

Last night, when Feng Yijin heard something had happened to Yu Pengtian, he had sent people to investigate the matter first. Naturally, he also found out about the evil deeds that Yu Pengtian committed over the years.

Feng Yijin was furious, but no matter what, Yu Pengtian was a minister of his court. If this matter spread, it would look bad on him and the court. As such, he could only try to suppress this matter.

Feng Yijin cleared his throat and was about to speak when Feng Yili walked up and said, “Yu Pengtian had committed a heinous crime. I believe Imperial Brother won’t tolerate such a thing. For this reason, I put up notices all around the capital to inform the commoners, telling the victims of Jade Manor to report to the local government office.”

After saying that, Feng Yijin added, “Imperial Brother, please punish me for

acting rashly.”

The corners of Feng Yijin’s lips twitched in anger when he heard these words. He wanted to suppress this matter, but Feng Yili directly publicize the matter to force his hand. How could he not be angry?

At this moment, a guard rushed and whispered into Lin De’s ear.

After that, Lin De whispered to Feng Yijin, “Your Majesty, the officials from the government office reported that there are already hundreds of commoners gathered at the door. They didn’t know what to do so they came to ask for advice.”

Feng Yijin’s expression turned even more unsightly when he heard these words. He suppressed his anger and forced a smile on his face as he said to Feng Yili, “Ninth Imperial Brother is looking out for the commoners, why would I be angry? Yu Pengtian really deserves to die!”

After that, Feng Yijin looked at Feng Weirui with dissatisfaction and said, “Prince Rui, I remember you’re quite close to Yu Pengtian. Why didn’t you know anything about this matter?”

Now that Yu Pengtian was dead, Feng Yijin had to find another person to vent his anger on.

“Imperial Father, I was fooled by Yu Pengtian. I did not expect him to be such a person. It’s all my fault,” Feng Weirui hurriedly said and kneeled down in panic.

Feng Yijin turned to Yu Yunxi again and said in an unfriendly tone, “County Princess of Xinan, although Yu Pengtian’s actions were wrong, he was an official of the court. You acted on your own and took his life last night…

Shouldn’t you explain yourself?”

“Your Majesty, the child that the Twelfth Prince and Yu Pengtian kidnapped yesterday has a good relationship with me. How can I tolerate such a situation? Naturally, I had to kill him,” Yu Yunxi said in a neither servile nor arrogant tone again.

At this moment, Yu Wanrong covered her mouth and chuckled. She said,

“Sister, did you say you have a good relationship with that child? In fact, before I entered the palace, I heard some rumors saying that… the child is yours.”

Yu Yunxi’s expression turned cold. She looked sideways and happened to see Yun Wanrong’s provocative gaze. She knew immediately that the rumors of Yu Junjin being her son had something to do with Yu Wanrong.

At this moment, Feng Weizhou, who had been silent all this while, said lightly, “I also heard the rumors. According to the servants of Jade Manor, the child is about four to five years old. If he’s your child, then…”

Yu Wanrong continued where Feng Weizhou left off. “Crown Prince, we all know that the Prince Regent was unconscious before entering the imperial mausoleum. If the child is that of my sister then…”

Yu Wanrong looked at Yu Yunxi from the corners of her eyes. She feigned a troubled expression on her face and continued to say, “Sister, since you’re married to the Prince Regent, you have to abide by the womanly virtues. I… I can’t even plead for you…

After she finished speaking, Yu Wanrong shook her head, looking sad and disappointed.

With this, the officials in the surroundings began to discuss among themselves.

“So that child is really hers? Does this mean that she has wronged the Prince Regent?”

“Ha! She still has the guts to lodge a report against others when she has a b*stard? How shameless!”

“That’s right! I pity the Prince Regent. I heard that he was very good to the child. I guess he didn’t know the truth..

Although the officials spoke in low voices, Yu Yunxi could clearly hear them and the word ‘b*stard’. She clenched her hands tightly as anger begin to rise in her heart.

‘No one can speak ill of Junjin!’

At the same time, Feng Weirui’s eyes shone seeing the situation had developed to this point. He hoped to use this matter to hide the matter of him covering up for Yu Pengtian. For this reason, he quickly stood up and said loudly, “County Princess of Xinan, if you admit the child is yours, then you can be excused for killing Yu Pengtian to protect your son. I’ll help plead for mercy with Imperial Father on your behalf if you do that!”

“Sister, just tell the truth. Don’t hide it anymore. It’s not fair to the Prince Regent,” Yu Wanrong chimed in, looking as though she was persuading Yu Yunxi out of goodwill.

Meanwhile, Luo Xiuran, who was standing at the side, was seething in anger when he heard these people who bullied others when they were down.

‘Fortunately, the little fellow isn’t here. Otherwise, such a cute and obedient child like him would feel sad if he heard these words…’

Feng Yijin had a rough understanding of the situation after listening to this. He said, “Yu Yunxi, if you admit to your relationship with that child, I’ll spare you this time ”

‘Who would have thought that Yu Yunxi gave birth four to five years ago?

Moreover, it’s not Ninth Brother’s child…’

Apart from being the Emperor, Feng Yili surpassed Feng Yijin in every way for many years. Now that Yu Yunxi betrayed Feng Yili and humiliated Feng Yili, Feng Yijin was naturally delighted.

Feng Yijin twirled the jade ring on his finger as he looked at Yu Yunxi, waiting for her to admit it.

Yu Yunxi took a deep breath and planned to reveal Yu Junjin’s identity as Feng Yili’s son.

At this moment, Feng Yili walked to her side, intending to acknowledge Yu

Junjin as his son as well. He said, “In fact, the child…”

However, before Feng Yili could finish his words, a calm voice rang from the entrance.

“Your Majesty, that child is my son..”
