The system was speechless for a long time before it said quietly, "What if the emperor later finds out that Concubine Yan has done little wrong, or even nothing wrong?"

After all, Concubine Yan has been with him for so many years, and the Crown Prince and Princess Jingning have also behaved well with him in the past. They should feel a little guilty, right... ?

Ling Xiao gave him a strange look, then touched Guang Tuanzi lovingly:

"Little fool, I have stressed this many times, he is the emperor, so what if he wrongly accuses someone.

As long as the person is still alive, he can fully compensate them. The crown prince will be deposed and re-enfeoffed, and the princess's fiefdom and the title of Yan Cairen will all be decided according to his wishes."

Finally, Ling Xiao concluded:

"The emperor is the most rogue creature, because he has countless ways to restart the game, so don't think about going against him, otherwise you will always lose."

As she spoke, she became complacent again. Her current identity was simply a bomb to the emperor!

"Do Yan Cairen and the others understand?" the system asked dazedly.

………………

When the former crown prince and now the second prince was pressed down, everyone heard a shrill scream, so sorrowful and horrible that it gave people goose bumps all over their bodies.

The emperor seemed not to hear the sound, and his eyebrows did not even move.

The only ones left on the field were Concubine Yan and Princess Jingning, who had suffered severe blows. They both looked miserable and cried like rain. They no longer had the aura of the royal concubines and the emperor's beloved daughters.

Some onlookers sighed for them, like the people in Duke Yan's mansion, who felt so bitter that their hearts were filled with bitterness.

Yan Xun felt ridiculous for his previous naivety, even though he already knew that the emperor had a cold and indifferent temperament.

But no matter how much we speculated in the past, we could never have predicted that it would be so ruthless!

That's the prince!

Not only is he your Majesty's biological son, but he is also the heir to the dynasty known to all the world.

The prince had just married a wife from a powerful family in the court. Since the establishment of the Eastern Palace, he had connected with countless forces, but none of them could defeat the emperor's words.

Yan Cairen was lucky before, thinking that she and her son at least had some status in the emperor's heart.

Who would have thought that one wrong move could lead to a complete loss!

Yan Cairen could only bite the soft flesh in her mouth tightly to avoid fainting. She comforted herself that she was not in desperate situation yet and she could not fall down.

"I have failed your majesty's kindness, and I have been arrogant and shouldn't have offended Empress Zhangde. I deserve death. Thank you for your teaching me."

He is extremely docile and takes all the blame on himself.

Seeing his daughter kneeling there in a daze, Yan Cairen felt a pain in his heart. He turned his head away and kowtowed repeatedly.

The emperor did not comment, but waved his hand to let people stand up, with an inexplicable look on his face:

"Forget it. The Queen didn't like to see you when she was alive. I will never go against her wishes." A trace of tenderness flashed across the emperor's old face.

"Fortunately, God was moved and allowed me to find the legitimate princess who was living among the people. Otherwise, if I had to rely on these unfilial beasts, I don't know how miserable the queen would be."

Unfilial beasts - the princes with their necks hooked like quails, and the timid and evasive princesses.

But, Your Majesty, what are you talking about?

What does it mean that a legitimate princess has been exiled to the common people? Counting on my fingers, I have never heard of her giving birth to a child when the queen was alive.

How did he end up among the people?

Some smart people quickly bypassed this section and connected the clues before and after. Wow, His Majesty made such a big scene just for this "legitimate princess"!

Ling Xiao straightened up slightly, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said to the system:

"After watching the show for so long, it's finally my turn to perform."

The emperor was looking at a pavilion with great joy, and everyone followed his gaze. Suddenly, some palace maids came out from everywhere, holding red silk and silently spreading it on the ground.

A noble lady with good vision could recognize at a glance that they were all top-quality palace silks that were priceless.

Even if royal families obtained such silk, they would only use it to make large coats for meeting guests, which shows how precious it is.

But now it is used for paving the floor?

The emperor smiled and said to his confidant Cheng Guogong, "My little girl always has strange ideas. She said she wants to live a happy life. I can only follow her will."

His tone was gentle and a little helpless, as if he was just an ordinary father who doted on his daughter.

Duke Chengguo smiled and replied:

"As a parent, I always have to worry. My son is very naughty. I always get angry and want to teach him a lesson but can't. The princess is much more obedient."

The emperor laughed and pointed at him without saying anything.

The red silk was finally laid out, and Ling Xiao slowly stepped onto the red silk road, slightly raising her head. Although she was still wearing ordinary folk clothes, she made too many people lose their composure when she approached.

This face... looks so much like Queen Zhangde.

Duke Chengguo was shocked at first, but then he thought, if they were not so similar, His Majesty would not love this daughter so much.

As Ling Xiao got closer, the faces of those who had originally lamented her resemblance to Empress Zhang De gradually became strange.

This may seem calm, but in fact his brows are full of contempt. He looks at everyone as if he is sizing them up to intimidate them, and the aura around him is——

Isn't this the same psychopath as the emperor?

Duke Chengguo was also very surprised. He secretly looked up at the emperor, his smile disappeared, and he frowned slightly, seeming a little awkward, a little happy, and a little embarrassed, anyway, a little bit of everything.

Ling Xiao came closer, with a graceful demeanor, allowing the eyes, whether open or hidden, to look at him, and bowed casually:

"Meet the Emperor"

"Hurry..." The emperor was about to call her to get up, but he found that she had already stood up. He said without getting angry:

"You should be sixteen years old now. I remember your mother was this age when I first met her."

"Father, you remember correctly. I am sixteen years old now."

Later, the emperor asked a few more questions, but Ling Xiao gave lukewarm answers and refused to say another word.

The audience who were watching the father and daughter recognizing each other gradually figured out what was going on. Hey, it seemed that this princess had a bit of a stubborn temper and she even dared to give the emperor a cold shoulder.

Some court officials who knew about the past between Empress Zhangde and the Emperor understood the situation and thought they knew that the princess was just venting the Empress's anger.

Ling Xiao: Let the emperor get used to my temper first and be mentally prepared.

Suddenly, the emperor sighed, looking bewildered:

"Are you blaming me for what I did to your mother? Or are you blaming me for letting you suffer among the common people? But..."

"I don't understand what your Majesty is saying." Ling Xiao interrupted him and said with a fake smile:

"I just did too much farm work and my health is not good, so I don't like to laugh. People always say that I have a bad temper. Does your father think so too?"

biubiu, the system automatically dubbed the arrow that the host just stabbed into the emperor.

What a good trick of turning the tables.

The emperor showed a trace of pain on his face, thinking back to when the queen was pregnant, he believed the slander and, being young and hot-tempered, he did not know how to restrain himself, so he sent the queen back home.

If not for this, his and the queen's daughter would have been the most noble woman in the world, and she would not have suffered so much.

If my daughter were here, Yue'er... wouldn't have gone so early.

There was a flash of water in his eyes, which disappeared after blinking twice. The emperor smiled:

"How could your father say that you have a bad temper? My daughter is a gifted daughter of heaven. Your smile to the people of the world is the blessing they have earned in their previous lives. Don't you think so, my dear ministers?"

The ministers nodded their heads rapidly, fearing that if they were a step slower they would be caught by the emperor to establish his authority over his beloved daughter.

Ah, yes, yes, Your Majesty is right. The princess can smile at us only because we did a lot of good deeds in our previous life, such as building bridges and roads.
