Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort Chapter 212

Chapter 212 - Article 212 - Burn

She had just fallen asleep when she heard the rustle of clothes and the rattle of pincers.

Wei Yuanwei slowly opened her eyes, and what entered her line of sight was a golden phoenix gown with red silk.

"Kid, you make people's hearts ache just by looking at you. I won't believe that you're a monster." The empress used silk to wipe away the tears in her eyes.

Wei Yuanwei finally understood that the Empress had come to sing a song about blus.h.i.+ng. Wei Yuanwei merely stood up and faced the Empress's faint blessing. Her face revealed a calm and indifferent expression, as if he wasn't afraid of his current situation at all.

"The Emperor's anger was only temporary. Once the Emperor's anger is gone, Imperial Mother will plead for you." The Empress looked at Wei Yuanwei with burning eyes.

Wei Yuanwei knew that the Empress was trying to trade chips with him.

The Empress did not wait for Wei Yuanwei's reply after a long time. She seemed to have lost her patience and said unhurriedly, "The emperor means to burn you down before we return to the palace. At this time, the little Daoist is setting up a wooden shelf outside the palace.

Indeed, the sound of wooden stakes colliding with each other came from outside the room. Wei Yuanwei believed that the Empress had not lied to him on this point.

Wei Yuanwei suddenly knelt down and bowed deeply towards the Empress. "Iris, please help me, mufei, to wear a sentence. Iris wishes to meet with the royal family." She wanted to confront Prime Minister Wei or Wei Guanshu face to face with him, and reveal their schemes and tricks.

"Alright. I promise you. " Even though she knew that this was a trap meant for Wei Yuanwei, and that she was a partic.i.p.ant as well, facing such a woman who was neither humble nor arrogant, she felt a sense of reverence in her heart.

Not long after, a few guards came forward and dragged Wei Yuanwei out of the woodshed, and a few guards pushed him into the side hall of the temple.

The Emperor was currently seated on a wooden chair made of pear blossom wood, looking at Wei Yuanwei expectantly and solemnly, while the Prime Minister Wei and Wei Guanshu were standing at the side with their heads lowered.

"What do you want to say to me?" The emperor took the tea offered to him by the palace maid and took a sip.

"I don't have anything the Emperor wants on me." Wei Yuanwei did not want to beat around the bush with him.

The Emperor was slightly taken aback, and the muscles on his face twitched. He then smashed the teacup on the ground.

He seemed annoyed that his thoughts had been seen through.

Wei Yuanwei's face did not reveal any fear as she enunciated word by word, "Didn't the Emperor act out such a good show with the Prime Minister Wei in order to force me into a desperate situation so that I could hand over what was on my body? Actually, Wei Yuanwei was still wondering, just what on earth could could could cause the Emperor to be so tempted? You didn't even hesitate to make things difficult for a weak girl like me. Iris believes that the Emperor has always been wise, but now he is blinded by adulterers. "

"Wei Yuanwei, you have guts!" The emperor's round eyes stared angrily as fury boiled in her heart. No one had ever used such a tone to speak to him, much less raise doubts and denunciations.

"Come on, give me a slap on the face!" The emperor slammed his palm heavily on the table.

Two mama walked up to Wei Yuanwei and held him up. Wei Guanshu, who was standing at the side, found it difficult to hide the joy and antic.i.p.ation on her face.

Just as the two mama were about to make a move, the door to the great hall was suddenly kicked open and a cold voice sounded out. "Who dares to touch Ben w.a.n.g's w.a.n.gfei?"

Yun Xie's tall figure appeared in the Main Hall, and in Wei Yuanwei's heart, he was like the Skypalace Great Sage who stepped on the clouds and came here.

"How dare you, my son!" The emperor actually dared to threaten him, so he swallowed the latter half of his words. After all, if the Eastern Chu lost Yun Xie's support, they wouldn't be far from the destruction of their country. Towards this son of his, he had no choice but to swallow his fear.

Yun Xie knelt in the front of the hall, cupped her hands, and said: "Iris is this king's wife, if she has committed any crimes, please ask royal father and son to also be punished."

"You!" The emperor pointed at her with trembling fingers, then helplessly waved his hand at the mama.

"Thank you royal father for his magnanimity. Your daughter-in-law knows very well that royal father is an enlightened ruler, and that even if you are a prisoner on death row, you have the right to write a lawsuit, not to mention that your daughter-in-law is a weak and powerless woman. Your daughter-in-law is not disobeying royal father's orders, but instead, I request royal father to allow your daughter-in-law to speak up for her injustice before you convict my daughter-in-law."

Due to Yun Xie's face, the Emperor could only laugh coldly and say, "Alright, I'll give you this chance."

Wei Yuanwei knew that the emperor would never let Yun Xie know of his schemes. If his own son were to find out that he had gone to such lengths to frame his daughter-in-law for the sake of obtaining the treasure, wouldn't that reduce his prestige as the royal father in Yun Xie's heart?

"Your Highness, please wait outside the hall." Since the emperor didn't want to make things difficult for her, why should she make things difficult for the emperor? Moreover, it wouldn't do her any good to provoke the emperor.

"Alright, This King will wait for you outside the hall." Yun Xie knew that Wei Yuanwei was very confident.

Yun Xie walked out in large strides, and during the entire process, he did not even glance at Wei Guanshu once. The joy that rose up in Wei Guanshu's heart was completely torn apart by her indifference, and all she could do was to add this hatred onto Wei Yuanwei's body.

Wei Yuanwei knew that she was definitely not a demon, and everyone in the hall knew that he did not need to defend himself. More importantly, she wanted to throw the hot potato over to Prime Minister Wei.

"Since the Emperor thinks the Iris has something the Emperor wants, why not search the Iris?" Wei Yuanwei said indifferently.

"Humph!" How could a crafty person carry such an important item on his person? " The Prime Minister Wei sneered.

"Sister, just admit it. Grandfather won't deliberately wrongly accuse you. That thing is worthless to you. Why don't you offer it to the Emperor in exchange for a lifetime's worth of glory?" Wei Guanshu gently said, but every word she said caused the suspect to fall on Wei Yuanwei's shoulders.

"How does elder sister know the value of that thing? "I didn't expect big sister to have a lot of experience." The corner of Wei Yuanwei's mouth raised into a faint smile.

Wei Guanshu was shocked, she had already seen the emperor looking at his with a pensive look, Wei Guanshu immediately said: "If there is no evidence, Grandfather will not wrongly accuse you."

When she saw that Wei Yuanwei was actually standing safely in the Main Palace, without even a trace of a sorry state on her body, she was extremely displeased in her heart.

The Emperor said majestically: "Princess Xi Ya, you must speak with caution. This matter is related to your life and death."

The corner of Princess Xi Ya's eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness. She really wanted Wei Yuanwei to die in front of her.

"Princess Xi Ya, what did you see at Side Consort Wei's place?" Wei Guanshu was afraid that Princess Xi Ya would vomit something that she shouldn't, so he chose to give her a direction.
