Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xia Bingguangwas shocked. “Did you say you were pretending to be crazy?”
Xian Fei did not answer Xia Bingguang’s question. Instead, she continued, “More than a month ago, I asked Miss Liu to go and find Hongming, but tonight, someone in the Xianhe Palace set the room on fire. I can only come to you. Your Majesty, you once said that as long as I ask you for help, you will do your best. Doesn’t it still count?”
Xian Fei sobbed in Xia Bingguang’s arms. Xia Bingguang felt terrible. Just as he was about to comfort her, he heard the eunuch’s anxious voice outside.
“Your Majesty, bad news. Xianhe Palace is on fire.”
Xia Bingguang stood up and glanced at Xian Fei. He was sure that this was a living person. What Xian Fei said to him was also clear in his mind. Xia Bingguang’s expression darkened and he asked angrily, “What’s going on? How did it catch fire?”
Hearing the anger in Xia Bingguang’s tone, the eunuch replied nervously, “We don’t know the reason yet, but the fire is too big. Consort Xian Fei, I’m afraid… I’m afraid she’s already dead…”
Xia Bingguang said angrily, “Get out. If anything happens to Consort Xian Fei, all of you will die with her!”
The eunuch trembled and left.
Xia Bingguang rubbed his forehead. He turned to look at Xian Fei and quickly asked, “Tell me, what’s going on?”
Xian Fei looked at Xia Bingguang. “Can I still believe you?”
Xia Bingguang looked at Xian Fei with heartache, “Yes, tell me everything and let me seek justice for you.”
Xian Fei wiped her tears and told him what happened from the beginning to the end. Xia Bingguang felt suffocated. How could there be such a ridiculous thing?
But he had no choice but to believe it.
Xian Fei removed the sharp claws on her ten fingers. These were fingerstall, an artifact. Xian Fei’s ten fingers were bloody, causing Xia Bingguang’s heart to ache.
He didn’t know what to say.
Seeing Xian Fei’s worried expression, Xia Bingguang had already calmed down. He comforted her, “She’s desperate and wants to take your life. I’m afraid it’s because Miss Liu is back. There are some things you don’t know. Some time ago, there were a few murder cases in the capital. The fake Hongming went to investigate and found out that it was Miss Liu who did it.”
Xian Fei immediately became nervous. “Then what should we do? How is Miss Liu?”
Xian Fei was burning with anxiety. Liu Sanniang was back. Had her son been brought back too?
Xia Bingguang sighed. “Miss Liu was arrested by Qiluo when she entered the city yesterday. She’s locked up in the prison now, waiting to be interrogated.”
Xian Fei’s heart sank. Liu Sanniang had been arrested.
“There’s also a stranger who was arrested. I wonder if it is Hongming…”
Xian Fei looked at Xia Bingguang worriedly and said, “Your Majesty, even if you don’t believe me, even if you think that I’m slandering the empress, I still hope that you can find out the truth. When I first found out about the empress’s scheme, I was also very afraid. I was afraid that the descendants of the royal family had long been swapped by her, so I reminded Hongming repeatedly.”
“I told him to fight for the throne and not let the empress succeed.”
Xian Fei told Xia Bingguang almost all the secrets. She was no longer a young girl in her teens. There were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were filled with worry and fear.
She was afraid that if she said it, Xia Bingguang would not believe her. She was also afraid that her sincerity would not be reciprocated.
Xia Bingguang gently hugged Xian Fei and said, “Thank you for your hard work I won’t let you down.”
Xia Bingguang thought of the Second Prince, who was seriously ill all year round, the Fourth Prince, who refused to return to the palace, and the Fifth Prince, who was a good for nothing, and his face darkened.
Not everyone could protect their child as well as Xian Fei.
Xian Fei wiped her tears and nodded. “No matter what, I will live and die with you, and so will our child.”
Xia Bingguang kept Xian Fei by his side and asked her to disguise herself as a eunuch.
He decided to attend the hearing of Liu Sanniang’s case.
The person investigating the case was the fake Xia Hongming.
The person who caught Liu Sanniang was Xia Qiluo, who had a grudge against Liu Sanniang.
If he continued to turn a blind eye to it, if Liu Sanniang really died unjustly, who would be willing to stand up and get rid of those evil people in the future?
Just thinking about it was terrifying. How many people in the harem and the imperial court were controlled by the empress?
He was not prepared to face a shocking reality, but he had no choice.
After Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan gathered enough information, they sent a voice transmission to Liu Sanniang.
It turned out that more than a month ago, cases of people’s hearts being gouged out appeared in the capital. The Third Prince investigated the case and found Liu Sanniang guilty of it.
It was because an eyewitness had seen the murderer. After the eyewitness described the face of the murderer, it turned out to look exactly like Liu Sanniang. Liu Sanniang’s courtyard had long been sealed.
Even Su Yanyu was questioned. Of course, Su Yanyu spoke up for Liu Sanniang. His shifu had long left the capital. It was impossible for her to commit murder.
Not only Su Yanyu, but everyone who knew Liu Sanniang was also questioned.
Some people said that they didn’t know, while others said that they didn’t expect Miss Liu to be such a person. They had to catch her and not let more people die.
Therefore, Liu Sanniang was arrested as soon as she arrived in the capital.
After Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan finished speaking, they waited for instructions.
Liu Sanniang sent a voice transmission to Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan, “Don’t worry, go and find Lord Su and tell him not to worry about anything. Just wait for the trial to begin.”
Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan went to the Marquis Mansion.
When Su Yanyu saw Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan, he was immediately delighted. “Miss Hu, Miss Yuanyuan, you’re back Where’s my shifu? Tell her not to come back Something big has happened.”
Liu Yuanyuan said calmly, “She’s already back She was captured by Xia Qiluo and locked in the prison..”
