Chapter 146: Zuo Lu Enters the Ministry of Punishment; Yan Wan Breaks Off Relations with Her Mother

Hongli slammed the table and said, "Are these just your guesses? Where's the evidence? If you dare to lie to me, I'll have you torn into pieces!"

Wei Zuolu prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, as long as we can certify our relationship with the child through blood, everything will be fine..."

"No! This method is absolutely not allowed, Your Majesty!" Gao Xiyue roared.

She knelt before Hongli and said, "Your Majesty, Jingxuan is a princess of the royal family. How can we allow him to slander her? Furthermore, we absolutely cannot use blood to prove our kinship. How can we harm your royal body?"

"What is Wei Zuoluan's intention?"

"I've heard that you do nothing but drink and gamble all day, and even steal things with Nazaqi. The emperor, based on his character alone, his words are not reliable."

Wei Zuolu: "No, no, Your Majesty, every word I said is true."

"Humph, you came to your eldest sister to ask for money because of a gambling debt, but she refused to pay you, so you hold a grudge and slander her, right?"

Wei Zuolu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no."

"What is that? Tell me."

Wei Zuolu was speechless. Everything he had thought of was just speculation, and now Gao Xiyue's question exposed his true intentions.

Hongli shook his head and said, "Come here, drag him to the Ministry of Punishment and make him tell the truth."

But Hongli's heart was already a little shaken. Could it be that Jingxuan was really Ling Yunche's child?

Li Rongbao never expected that Zuolu would be imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment. He immediately passed the news to Yang Jia. When she heard that Zuolu was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, she fainted. When she woke up, she shouted that she wanted to go to the palace to find Wei Yanwan to ask her clearly.

But Wei Yanwan didn't want to see her at all, and just sent a letter to sever ties with her.

After reading the letter, Yang Jia tore it into pieces.

In the Sanxi Hall, the ministers were waiting for the emperor's summons.

Fu Heng walked in and said to Li Rongbao, "You brought those two people into the palace, didn't you?"

Li Rongbao could only play dumb now: "Who is it?"

"Hai Lancha saw it clearly, how can you still deny it? Wei Zuolu has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment. How long do you think he can hold out?"

"Well... I just wanted to help them out of pity. How could I have thought that he would frame you, my noble?"

Fu Heng didn't even need to think, knowing it must be another bad idea from his mother: "It's too late to say anything now. I can only apologize to the emperor truthfully."

"How can this be possible? I'm already so old, where can I put my dignity?" Li Rongbao shook his head repeatedly: "No, no."

"Whether face or brain is more important, it's up to you."

Hai Lancha saw Fu Heng coming out and asked, "What did uncle say?"

Fu Heng shook his head with a worried look on his face: "I'm afraid this won't end without the loss of several lives."

Hailancha was so busy eating the roast chicken that he didn't care what he said.

Fu Heng glanced at him and said, "Eat less. Look at your belly, you've gained a lot of weight. Which woman will dare to want you in the future?"

Hailancha chuckled: "Are you jealous of me being single?" Fu Heng sighed and shook his head: "Alright, eat your roast chicken."

During dinner time, Hongli came to the Yiku Palace.

"Why are you here, Your Majesty?" Ruyi stood up and saluted.

Hongli looked like he was troubled.

"Ruyi, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Your Majesty, I think it's because of your noble lady's brother. I shouldn't have said anything, but it involves the royal family's reputation. If they really did use a blood test, I'm afraid it would hurt your noble lady's heart."
