Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 448: Rumble in the Hall of Supreme Harmony

In a short while, Princess Yuehua and her daughter heard footsteps behind them.

They turned around and looked at the sound, their eyes gradually widening.

The pupils of Wen'an County Lady trembled, and she looked at the man walking towards her in astonishment.

Why is he here?

Wouldn't he rather die for her safety?

Doesn’t he… love her very much?

Princess Wen'an asked herself this question over and over again in her heart, unable to believe what she saw.

At this time, the man stopped beside Princess Wen'an.

He slowly knelt down and bowed deeply, "Junior Liu Yan pays respect to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

When they heard the word "juren", a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Emperor Yuan and the people present.

Emperor Yuan looked at Liu Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly said, "Stand up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yan stood up in response.

"Where did you come from?"

Liu Yan replied calmly, "Your Majesty, Liu Yan is a newly-promoted Juren in the Jiangnan County Examination two years ago."

"Liu Yan, according to Qin Shaoqing, you claimed that you were captured by my sister and forced into her palace to be my concubine."

"Yes!" Liu Yan responded without hesitation.

Emperor Yuan looked at him expressionlessly, "Tell me, how did my sister capture you and bring you into the palace?"

"Royal brother." Princess Yuehua said urgently, "Yuehua has never seen this person before. Royal brother, please don't believe him..."

Emperor Yuan raised his hand to interrupt Princess Yuehua, a faint smile on his face, "Don't worry, Yuehua, just listen to what he has to say."

Princess Yuehua clenched her fists so tightly that she felt her red nails digging into her flesh without even noticing.

She was in a state of panic and her face grew paler.

Liu Yan took a deep breath and began to narrate, "Last year, when I was passing through Yizhou on my way to Beijing for the imperial examination, I was exhausted and stopped to rest in a pavilion in the suburbs.

During the time, Yan saw the beautiful scenery around him and was inspired to play a tune on the piano.

Princess Yuehua happened to pass by and heard Yan's piano playing. She was greatly impressed and invited Yan to be her guest in her house.

Yan declined Princess Yuehua's invitation on the grounds that he was taking an imperial examination, but unexpectedly, Princess Yuehua ordered people to tie Yan up on the spot.

When Yan refused to obey, Princess Yuehua killed the servant who followed Yan. To save his life, Yan had no choice but to obey temporarily.

Afterwards, Princess Yuehua brought Yan back to the Princess Mansion and asked him to have sex with her to satisfy her lust..."

In the past, Liu Yan would never have said such shameful words. But now, in order to make Princess Yuehua pay the price she deserved, there was nothing he wouldn't say!

"That's nonsense!" Princess Yuehua scolded sternly, "I have never seen you, nor have I ever done the things you claim!"

She looked at Emperor Yuan earnestly, "Brother, please believe Yuehua. Yuehua is innocent!"

"Unfair?" Liu Yan smiled. "Your Highness, have you forgotten? We have been honest with each other for countless days and nights..."

"How outrageous!" Princess Yuehua interrupted Liu Yan and knelt down, crying, "Brother, since the Prince Consort left, Yuehua has always been a womanizer and has never done anything inappropriate with anyone.

I don't know who this person was instructed by, but he slandered Yuehua's innocence for no reason. Please, my royal brother, help Yuehua!"

Liu Yan glared coldly at Princess Yuehua, who was kneeling on the ground, and continued in a cold voice, "I have licked every inch of your Highness's skin, despite enduring the nausea..."

"Shut up! My Royal Brother, are you going to allow this scoundrel who appeared out of nowhere to insult Yuehua?"

Liu Yan said quickly: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the palace maid to examine it. Princess Yuehua has a birthmark deep in her thigh, and on her chest..."

"That's enough!" Emperor Yuan interrupted him in a deep voice, "Come, take the princess down to have a look."

"Royal brother!" Princess Yuehua pointed at Liu Yan angrily, "Are you going to examine Yuehua just based on a single statement from this scoundrel?"

"Since you are innocent, why are you afraid of a body examination?" Emperor Yuan said with indifference.

"Heh~" Princess Yuehua sneered, "Can the reputation of the Great Xia Imperial Family be trampled upon at will now? Can the innocence of me, the eldest princess, be slandered?"

"Me!" She tapped her chest vigorously several times. "Princess Yuehua of Daxia would rather die than endure this humiliation!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly rushed towards the pillar beside her.

"Mother." Princess Wen'an called out.

Emperor Yuan suddenly stood up, "Stop her!"

Kong Jijiu, who was closest to Princess Yuehua, rushed over quickly and knocked the person away, and fell to the ground himself.

Kong Jijiu groaned, and his old bones were almost broken.

Princess Yuehua laid on the ground, crying, "Brother Royal, since you don't believe me, why don't you let me die!"

At this time, the Dali Temple Minister said: "Your Highness, His Majesty's move is also to prove your innocence."

"Minister of the Dali Temple, I said that your daughter had an affair with someone. Do you also want her to prove her innocence?" Princess Yuehua asked sternly!

The Dali Temple Minister was speechless in rebuttal.

Princess Yuehua climbed up from the ground and looked at Emperor Yuan with a sad expression, "Brother, in your eyes, is Yuehua such an unruly woman?"

Emperor Yuan was silent.

Jiang Yueyang frowned, [Little melon, Your Majesty, are you showing signs of being soft-hearted?]

【The emperor should be considering the royal family's reputation.】

[Is the royal family's reputation more important than human life?] Jiang Yueyang's tone was very harsh. [No, I can't let Princess Yuehua get away with this!]

Princess Yuehua rolled her eyes and looked around. It was that voice again...

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Yueyang stepped out of the queue. "This involves several lives. I believe all suspicious points should be thoroughly investigated!"

Yuehua stared at Jiang Yueyang with wide eyes. It was her. The voice just now was made by her!

Who is she?

And why is it in this hall?

"I second the motion!" Lord Wei and Minister Jiang stepped forward together to second the motion!

Afterwards, voices of seconding the motion came one after another.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Princess Yuehua walked slowly towards Jiang Yueyang in confusion.

How could she, a young girl, have such great appeal in the court?

Seeing Princess Yuehua coming, the people standing in front of Jiang Yueyang all stood in front of her.

Among them, the one who acted the fastest was King Yan.

Princess Yuehua raised her eyes slightly and looked at King Yan, feeling even more confused.

Why are the Third Prince and all the officials so worried about her?

"Aunt, please step back." King Yan said coldly.

Princess Yuehua pointed at herself in disbelief, "Third Prince, you want me to step back?"

"Auntie didn't hear wrong."

Princess Yuehua narrowed her eyes slightly, looking past King Yan to Jiang Yueyang behind him, "Who are you?"

"She is a fifth-rank female official appointed by our father as an exception." Prince Yan answered first.

At this time, Emperor Yuan called out in a deep voice, "Yuehua."

Princess Yuehua turned around when she heard the voice, and then she heard Emperor Yuan say, "I'm sorry for wronging you."

As Emperor Yuan finished speaking, two eunuchs walked towards her quickly, intending to take her away for a physical examination.

Princess Yuehua shook off the eunuch's hand and said, "Go away, all of you, go away. I won't examine you!"

"You are resisting so much, are you feeling guilty?" Su Yuan shouted deliberately when she saw this.

"Why should I feel guilty? Even if I have that so-called birthmark, what does it prove?" Princess Yuehua curled her lips and chuckled. "The maids who helped me bathe all knew that I had a birthmark on my leg. Maybe it was the maids who told this scoundrel about it!"

"Then may I ask, Your Highness!" Liu Yan approached her step by step, "Didn't you say before that you had never seen me? Why would your maid tell me such a secret?"

"Of course it's so that they can frame me today!"

"What's my purpose?" Liu Yan continued to approach. "As a scholar, what's my purpose in ruining my own future and framing you? To redress Su Yuan's injustice?"

Princess Yuehua was forced to retreat step by step, "How can I know what your plan is!"

Jiang Yueyang clicked her tongue and shook her head. [Does Princess Yuehua really think that His Majesty and all the civil and military officials are fools?]

[That's how people who try to make excuses behave.] The system replied casually.

"Enough!" Emperor Yuan threw the teacup and said, "Yuehua, I am the emperor of Daxia, not a fool!"

Hearing this, Princess Yuehua knew that no matter how she argued, Emperor Yuan would not believe her.

So she immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Royal brother, Yuehua knows she was wrong! Yuehua shouldn't have arrested anyone so arbitrarily, and shouldn't have forced him to be her lover. I beg you to show me mercy!"
