Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the court officials request to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty."

"Open the palace gate and let them all come to Chonghua Palace." Xiao Wenxuan gave the order immediately.

He was worried that no one would testify against the Empress Dowager.

Otherwise, he had a sudden conflict with the Empress Dowager, which was against filial piety. If he did not accuse the Empress Dowager of a crime, he would not be able to explain to these court officials.

Not long after, Marquis Wuyang brought his court officials to Chonghua Palace.

He stood inside the hall with several high-ranking ministers, while the rest of the lower-ranking officials all stood outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, there was a sudden civil unrest in the palace. I wonder what exactly happened?" Marquis Wuyang asked respectfully.

"When Concubine Chang in the harem gave birth, the Grand Empress Dowager detained the child in her palace and did not allow me to see her. I got the news that the Grand Empress Dowager wanted to replace the child in order to confuse the royal bloodline. The child taken out of the delivery room might not be my bloodline. The Grand Empress Dowager even wanted to kill me and let the newborn baby inherit my throne!"

When everyone heard these words, they sighed and looked in the direction of the Empress Dowager.

The Grand Empress Dowager snorted, "It is clear that Xiao Wenxuan is guilty of treason! They pinned the blame on me. My child was snatched away by them and our whereabouts are still unknown. Who knows if the child they brought back is a newborn baby? Has he been deliberately swapped with her?" The Grand Empress Dowager's words hit the nail on the head.

It is not easy for Xiao Wenxuan to convict her.

These words successfully made the truth of the incident even more confusing.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor each had their own opinion, and the ministers didn't know who to believe.

Xiao Wenxuan glared at the Empress Dowager.

This old guy actually dared to cut off his retreat!

There was a hint of smile in the eyes of the Empress Dowager. Xiao Wenxuan wanted to fight her.

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince, and Crown Prince's wife request a meeting!" A voice rang out in a messenger.

A trace of panic immediately flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, and she hurriedly looked towards the palace door.

Xiao Wenxuan's heart also trembled. He didn't know why Xiao Yan'an and Ji Chuhe came at this time.

The court officials outside immediately made way for the two men to enter the hall.

Everyone in the hall was looking at the two of them.

What is even more incredible is that Ji Chuhe was holding a baby in her arms.

Where did this child come from?

"Your Highness, Your Highness. Your Highness, ...

"No need to be polite." Xiao Wenxuan stared at the child in Ji Chuhe's arms, "Madam, why are you here to see me with a child in your arms?"

"Your Majesty, the one I am holding is the little princess born to Empress Chang." Ji Chuhe responded softly.

"Nonsense!" The Empress Dowager immediately stood up straight, and looked at Ji Chuhe with a look that almost made her vomit!

Xiao Wenxuan couldn't help laughing. He couldn't have imagined such a turn of events!

"Your Majesty, this is what happened. Your Majesty and I saw a civil strife in the palace. Your Majesty was worried about your safety, so I went into the palace to rescue you. Your Majesty was worried about me, so she went with me. The two of us came to the Empress Dowager's palace and found that Empress Chang had passed away from excessive blood loss. Your Majesty unexpectedly discovered that there was a bloody word on the palm of Empress Chang's hand." Xiao Yan'an explained softly.

"Blood words? What are those words?" Xiao Wenxuan asked immediately.

"It's the word 'female'. When Madam saw this word, she concluded that Madam Chang gave birth to a daughter. However, after we entered the palace, we heard that Madam Chang gave birth to a little prince. Madam and I concluded that there must be something fishy about this matter."

"I boldly speculate that the little princess born by Empress Chang was swapped. My wife and I searched the delivery room and found a secret room. After we walked in, we found the bodies of several palace maids and baby girls. Then, we found Li Mama from the Empress Dowager's palace and the child."

"According to Madam Li, this is the little princess born to Madam Chang. Madam and I immediately brought the little princess to see the emperor."

Xiao Yanan's words made the Empress Dowager's expression more and more unsightly.

Because, that's the truth of the matter.

All of them were dug out by Ji Chuhe.

The Empress Dowager looked in Ji Chuhe's direction and felt a pang of regret.

She should have executed Ji Chuhe at all costs!

"Your Majesty, although Nanny Li said that this child is a little princess, for the purity of the royal bloodline, please recognize her with your blood." Xiao Yan'an reminded again.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we must swipe our blood to prove the identity of the little princess." Marquis Wuyang also said.

The court officials nodded in agreement.

Of course Xiao Wenxuan agreed.

As long as his blood and that of the little princess could mix, the Empress Dowager's crime of confusing the royal bloodline would be confirmed.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager also attempted to assassinate him. With all these crimes added together, even if he executed the Empress Dowager immediately, no one would dare to stop him!

"Doctor Zhong, get ready. I want to test my blood relationship with the little princess!"

"Yes." Doctor Zhong prepared all the materials for blood test in front of everyone.

Xiao Wenxuan immediately pricked his finger and dripped blood into the bowl, and also pricked the little princess's finger.

The little princess immediately started crying.

Two drops of blood fell into the bowl and merged together at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The blood has merged! The blood has merged together! This is my flesh and blood! My little princess!" After Xiao Wenxuan said this, he took the child from Ji Chuhe's arms.

"Don't be afraid, Father will protect you. Father will never let anyone hurt you!"

The Empress Dowager's body suddenly fell limp to the ground.

She was in a mess, crying and laughing at the same time.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has committed such a heinous crime. She should be convicted immediately to silence the public." Someone suddenly said.

"Lu Hongru, tell me, according to Daxia's laws, what crime should the Empress Dowager be charged with?"

"The Grand Empress Dowager's status should be deposed and demoted to a commoner, and then she should be convicted according to her actions. Given what the Grand Empress Dowager has done, she cannot escape the death penalty." Lu Hongru responded expressionlessly.

capital offense.

The Empress Dowager.

These words flashed through everyone's mind, as if they could never be connected together.

"I am so heartbroken! I have been respectful to the Grand Empress Dowager since I ascended the throne. Is there anything I have done wrong? The Grand Empress Dowager wants to put me to death?" Xiao Wenxuan questioned the Grand Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager said nothing, as if she was immersed in her own world and nothing in the outside world could affect her.

"Prime Minister, please tell me what I should do? Lord Rong, Lord Wei, Lord Lin, Lord Luo, and you, please tell me what I should do?" Xiao Wenxuan looked embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, I believe that he should be punished according to his crime and should not be tolerated." Marquis Wuyang stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Everyone was shocked again.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Wuyang would have such an attitude on this matter.

The first one to stand up and deal with the Empress Dowager.
