Chapter 296 The Truth is Exposed
The woman ignored everything and, as if possessed, continued shouting, "Zhou Yuan, do you think you can stay out of this? You are my eldest sister's son."
My elder sister plotted for years to seize the throne of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Now that she's dead, you think you can sever all ties? Don't even think about it!
Zhou Yuan's face turned ashen with rage, like the gloomy sky before a storm. He said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is slander! I am utterly loyal to the Great Zhou Kingdom, as the sun and moon can attest. I have absolutely no intention of such treason!"
Although the emperor's face was terribly gloomy, he still chose to protect Zhou Yuan, after all, he had watched Zhou Yuan grow up and knew that he was exceptionally capable.
If he wanted to be the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, with his abilities, he would have already started a rebellion.
Furthermore, Su Yinyin kept giving him meaningful glances, and out of trust in Su Yinyin and Zhou Yuan, he finally defended them, saying, "Regent, I believe you are loyal to the Great Zhou Kingdom."
Su Yinyin looked at the woman, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips, as cold as frost in winter, and said sneer: "You're just desperate, trying to drag the Regent down with you."
You don't know this yet, do you? You're afraid the regent is hard to control and won't be of one mind with you.
Before you start a war, you want to control the regent and then replace him with a fake regent so you can carry out your plans.
Your Majesty is wise; you knew of your conspiracy long ago. How could you have allowed yourself to enter the Great Zhou Kingdom freely?
Your plans were flawed from the start!
The woman, however, remained relentless, like a trapped beast driven mad, shouting at Murong Yu, "Zhou Yuan, how dare you defy your mother's wishes! Quickly seize the Emperor!"
The woman was shouting wildly, trying to further disrupt the situation and make things even more chaotic.
Looking at the woman's crazed appearance, Su Yinyin wondered, "Has she gone mad?"
Upon hearing these words, Murong Yu felt a surge of doubt and anger coexisting within him.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Yuan was filled with complex emotions: doubt, anger, and a hint of resentment.
He roared, "Zhou Yuan, even though your mother is dead now, she still carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. How dare you disobey your mother? Have you forgotten her kindness in raising you?"
Zhou Yuan was both angry and anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. He shouted at Murong Yu, "Murong Yu, I know perfectly well who my mother is. You don't need to worry about it."
Your mother, you, and your actions are intolerable to both heaven and earth, and are the envy of both gods and men. The King and the Princess Protector have long been aware of some of your conspiracies.
That fake Zhou Yuan was part of your conspiracy, and we have successfully eliminated him. Your evil deeds will surely be punished as you deserve!
Looking at the chaotic situation, the emperor knew that he had to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, otherwise it would become even more difficult to control, like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.
He spoke authoritatively, his voice booming like a bell throughout the banquet hall, "Guards, take this woman, Murong Yu, and Princess Siran away. I will issue divorce papers to both the Great Yan and Great Xia kingdoms. If the evidence is conclusive, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Although Murong Yu felt resentful, like a caged beast, he suppressed his anger under the emperor's intimidation and remained silent, though his eyes still gleamed with hatred.
Just as the guards were about to step forward to take her away, Su Yinyin suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, wait. This woman is so rampant; there may be more undiscovered conspiracies behind her."
If we simply detain them like this, we might miss a golden opportunity. Yinyin has the Truth-Telling Pill; it would be better to interrogate them in the main hall. We're sure to uncover their true plot then.
The emperor frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Yinyin is absolutely right."
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Yinyin's Truth-Telling Pill will come in handy. After taking it, we might be able to find out something. Perhaps we can eradicate the problem completely."
Murong Yu was extremely anxious when he heard that Su Yinyin was going to use the Truth Pill.
He had just experienced the terrifying power of the Truth Pill; once he took it, what secrets could he possibly keep?
Murong Yu said loudly, "Your Majesty, we are not people of your Great Zhou Kingdom, how can you torture us?"
The emperor gave Murong Yu a cold look and said, "Murong Yu, don't confuse the issue. This is not torture."
This matter is of utmost importance, concerning the safety of our great Zhou Kingdom. If the truth is not uncovered...
Allowing this conspiracy to remain hidden could bring annihilation to both countries, and even more. Since you are involved, you cannot remain uninvolved.
Su Yinyin stepped forward, looked at Murong Yu with icy eyes, and said, "Murong Yu, you are also partly responsible for the sins committed by your mother."
If you don't want the situation to worsen, your only way out is to cooperate obediently.
This Truth Pill can reveal all the truth and also save you from suffering.
Otherwise, once your numerous crimes are discovered, the Great Zhou Kingdom's punishments will not be lenient.
The woman impersonating the empress panicked, knowing full well that once she took the Truth Pill, all her secrets would be exposed.
She glared fiercely at Su Yinyin, "Su Yinyin, how dare you! If you use such methods against us, the Great Yan Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom will never let you off the hook. Just wait for the retaliation from both countries!"
Su Yinyin sneered, "You still dare to threaten me even now? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
You have stirred up trouble and committed such heinous acts on the territory of my Great Zhou Kingdom, and yet you dare to try to escape punishment? That is utterly delusional.
After saying that, Su Yinyin uncorked the bottle and looked at the woman, "Are you going to take it yourself, or do you want me to have someone force-feed you?"
The woman's face was deathly pale, and her body trembled slightly, but she still stubbornly said, "I would rather die than take this stuff. You won't get any information out of me."
Su Yinyin frowned and looked at the guards, "Someone, force-feed her this."
The guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed the woman's arm, and tried to pry open her mouth.
The woman struggled desperately, shouting and cursing incessantly.
Seeing this, Murong Yu was extremely anxious and struggled again to rush over to stop him, but was firmly restrained by Regent Zhou Yuan and could not move.
Just as the guards finally managed to pry the woman's mouth open, Murong Yu suddenly shouted, "Stop! If you dare to give her the Truth Pill, I will bite my tongue and kill myself! Then, let's see how you explain to my father, the Emperor."
