Xie Yuanfeng didn't care at all about Emperor Xuanwen's helpless expression.

In her hand, in addition to the whip bestowed by the late emperor, she also had the golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by the late emperor.

As long as she didn't rebel and become emperor, Emperor Xuanwen could only watch helplessly.

"Lu Jingting, just say whatever you want to say."

Xie Yuanfeng also wanted to know what this son-in-law, who had been her nominal son-in-law for several years, wanted to say.

Lu Jingting kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Xuanwen again, then stood up and looked at Xiao Yunxi beside Xie Yuanfeng with his remaining good eye.

That expression was so affectionate.

Xiao Yunxi frowned slightly, her hands were itching and she really wanted to lash out.

"If you don't want that eye anymore, I'll dig it out for you."

Mo Ruochen's cold voice came over, and Lu Jingting shuddered...

He immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yunxi again.

Mo Ruochen glanced at Xiao Yunxi coldly again, and saw that woman raised her head and smiled obediently...

Emperor Xuanwen coughed twice, "Lu Jingting, if you have something to say, please speak up!"

"Yes."

Lu Jingting calmed his mind and thought about how to say something that would save his life.

"Your Majesty, this is a long story. Lin Wan'er was sold to the Prince of Zhennan's mansion when she was about seven years old, and became my personal maid when she was thirteen.

When she was sixteen, she gave me an aphrodisiac when I was drunk one night..."

At the age of sixteen, she gave her master aphrodisiacs and went to bed with him?

Wu Anhou struggled and cursed: "You are a seven-foot strong man, and she is a little maid, even if she drugged you, what can she do to you?

It's obvious that you took advantage of me, but now you act like you've been wronged.

Isn't it disgusting? "

Xie Yuanfeng picked up the teacup next to him and threw it directly at Wu Anhou.

"The personal maid drugged the master and climbed into bed with him. The master was wronged in the first place. Could it be that the maid who drugged him was wronged?!"

"This is just because the rules of the Zhennan Palace are poor. Lu Jingting was very merciful for not beating her to death after using it."

What Xie Yuanfeng said was right. In any wealthy family, the higher the status, the stricter the family rules.

If a maid dared to drug her master, she would be sold to a low-class place or beaten to death. Few would survive.

All the court officials looked at Lu Jingting with contempt and disdain.

Lu Jingting also regretted that he did not kill Lin Wan'er at that time, otherwise there would not be so many troubles now.

He is still the prince of Zhennan, the son-in-law of Duke Ningguo and the eldest princess. The emperor is still his brother-in-law, so he is respected wherever he goes.

He and Xiao Yunxi already have children together!

But knowing it earlier is priceless.

At that time, Lin Wan'er was indeed pretty and charming, and she tried hard to please and please people, making people fall in love with her.

Especially the next morning, she knelt on the ground, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and begged him to punish her severely, saying that she just couldn't control the love in her heart and made a big mistake in a moment of confusion.

Lu Jingting remembered that he was very angry at the time, but he couldn't bear to see Lin Wan'er's pitiful appearance...

"At that time...I felt sorry for her and did not punish Lin Wan'er. I kept her by my side."

"Later, my grandfather went to the palace to ask for Princess Changle's hand in marriage for me. After the imperial decree was issued, my grandmother wanted to beat Lin Wan'er to death.

But Lin Wan'er was already pregnant at that time, and I...I was blinded by her and wanted to live with Lin Wan'er wholeheartedly, even threatening my elders at home with death.

Grandfather and grandmother had no choice but to banish Lin Wan'er to a farm in the countryside, and they strictly ordered the common people not to meet her again. "

Every time Lu Jingting said something, he felt more regretful. He really wanted to slap himself a few times!

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that the old Zhennan King's grandson could raise a good grandson like you who is kind and considerate to women. Not only did he dote on a maid who climbed into his bed, he also allowed her to give birth to a child before his wife came to marry him."

Xie Yuanfeng smiled and looked at Emperor Xuanwen, "Your Majesty really loves Yunxi. He carefully selected such a passionate and gentle man for her."

Emperor Xuanwen smiled awkwardly and did not dare to respond.

In all conscience, although he wanted Xiao Yunxi to go to the Zhennan Palace to help him find out the situation,

But he also issued the decree because he thought that Lu Jingting was handsome, well-spoken, and easy to control, and would not let Yun Xi suffer any injustice.

Obviously, the Queen praised Lu Jingting like a flower...

Thinking of this, Emperor Xuanwen felt even more embarrassed.

Can he admit that he was fooled by the Queen?

Xie Yuanfeng was not going to pamper him. "The Empress of the Central Palace praised Lu Jingting a lot in front of His Majesty. Why didn't she marry her nieces to him?"

Emperor Xuanwen remained silent, and whatever he said now would be wrong.

Fortunately, Yun Xi and Mo Ruochen were doing well, and his guilt faded a little.

"Forget about the Queen. But the old Prince of Zhennan dared to come to the palace and ask for his grandson's hand in marriage when he knew what kind of person he was. What was he thinking?"

Xie Yuanfeng slammed the table angrily, "Lu Jingting, you coward, just because of that bitch, you ran to the border on the night of your wedding, and even verbally humiliated my son!"

Hearing this, Lu Jingting burst into tears of regret.

If I hadn't been so ignorant at that time and hadn't said those nonsense, it would have been fine if I had just treated Yun Xi with respect!

"Eldest sister, calm down and listen to Lu Jingting finish his story first."

Emperor Xuanwen tried to persuade him carefully, for he was afraid that Lu Jingting would be beaten to death by Xie Yuanfeng before he could finish speaking.

Xie Yuanfeng clenched his fists so tightly that veins showed through.

Emperor Xuanwen swallowed nervously. His elder sister had actually not let out this anger for so long...

Xiao Yunxi stepped forward, put her little hand on Xie Yuanfeng's arm and patted it gently.

Xie Yuanfeng looked at her daughter's worried and well-behaved eyes and took a deep breath, "Lu Jingting, keep talking!"

Afterwards, Lu Jingting told the whole story of what happened in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion in detail.

When they heard Xiao Yunxi showing off her power, Emperor Xuanwen and Xie Yuanfeng were both delighted, but when they heard Xiao Yunxi was wronged, they were both equally angry.

Of course, Emperor Xuanwen felt even more guilty.

"After my eldest son Lu Zhan was burned to death, my grandmother sold Lin Wan'er to a brothel in Yanliu Alley...

After a month or two, the wife of Marquis Wu'an suddenly came to my house and said that she wanted to marry into the Zhennan Palace and promised her adopted daughter to me as a concubine.

Lu Jingting paused, "On the wedding night, I found out that the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an was actually the former lowly concubine Lin Wan'er."

"But the matter is done, and I cannot drive her out, let alone...fall out with the Marquis of Wu'an."

After hearing this, what else could the people in the court not understand?

This Lu Jingting made himself appear to be a victim, but everyone has seen clearly what kind of person he really is.
