Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 290
Chapter 290 Get to the Bottom of It
The Emperor actually didn’t believe it? Instead, she even said that she wanted Cousin Shi Xi’er to be old?
Su Wanwan was speechless. Suddenly, a guard held her hand. Another guard rushed forward and placed the knife under Su Wanwan’s neck!
This was trying to kill her!
“Wait!” A crisp female voice sounded, “Your Majesty, don’t misunderstand me.”
Su Wanwan saw the Empress Zhao Ziyan running over, followed by a bunch of noble ladies. Many of the ladies had originally agreed to Shi Xi’er’s request, but she saw a skinny old granny. However, the old granny was lying in the Emperor’s hand in red tulle clothes, and her heart was a little nauseated.
Immediately, many noble ladies muttered in a low voice, “When did the Emperor’s taste become so heavy?”
“Who knows! But … what do I think is that the hairpin on that old woman’s head is the hairpin that Imperial Concubine Huang went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion that day?”
“Then … that woman is Imperial Consort Huang?”
“…”
Everyone was shocked, and goosebumps immediately appeared on their bodies. They had already completely forgotten about trying to curry favor with Shi Xi’er.
Another woman said, “Do I remember when Imperial Concubine Ri went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, she wore the earrings that the old woman wore?”
In the hearts of everyone, Shi Xi’er was immediately determined to be an old woman. The emperor’s face was dark and he did not say anything. The guards had sent people to fetch torture tools, but before they could attack Su Wanwan, Su Wanwan took out his slightly exaggerated acting skills and cried, “Imperial Consort cultivated magic and did all the bad things. It seems like I only exposed it. Who would have thought that she would confuse the emperor to let the emperor protect her like this?”
When everyone heard the word “magic”, they all expressed their opinions, “I heard it long ago! Imperial Concubine Huang is usually arrogant and domineering, yet she is so beautiful. She must have practiced magic!”
“That’s right! Who else could be as cute as an eighteen-year-old girl in their thirties?”
“…”
Hearing these words, the Emperor’s body gradually became paralyzed. He lowered his head to look at Shi Xi’er, and his hand trembled as he threw her out!
Shi Xi’er’s body was thrown two to three meters away like a tattered duckweed. After suffering pain, Shi Xi’er raised her head and looked at the Emperor with tears streaming down her eyes. “Your Majesty, it’s me! I’m not practicing magic!”
Without cultivation, how could it be that what she said was the truth? Su Wanwan sneered and said, “Your Majesty, what we did today was not an accident. I have long wanted to expose her. As for the evidence, I have already prepared it!”
After saying that, Su Wanwan looked at the guard beside her, her big black and white eyes staring at him motionlessly. The guard guiltily put down his saber and listened to Su Wanwan’s instructions.
Su Wanwan instructed everyone to go where Qi Chengfeng and she had entered today. She took the opportunity to force Nanny Yun, who had been thrown into the space, to ask about other doors for them to enter.
The Emperor originally wanted to drink Su Wanwan down. Facing the crowd waiting for the evidence with such anticipation, he agreed to let the guards leave.
There were several paths in, and within fifteen minutes of such a hasty search, they came out. In their hands were many bayonets that were used by doctors to study things, and even … human skin!
In addition, there are different so-called “beauty creams”!
As soon as these things lit up, the ladies vomited. One of the ladies who believed in Buddhism had some insights and told them about the cultivation of magical techniques and the illusion of human faces. Everyone couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. They felt that this was retribution.
Suddenly, someone cried out in excitement, “I remember clearly that I have known the Imperial Consort since I was young. She did not accept her mother’s beauty, so she looked ordinary. However, ever since she became the Imperial Consort and invited me to the palace, she discovered that she was born to be an overwhelming beauty. I feel very puzzled. Today, I finally understand!”
“…”
Hearing this, the Emperor said, Her hands trembled. He remembered that he almost threw away Shi Xi’er’s portrait when he saw it. If he hadn’t heard Eunuch Hai suddenly mention that Shi Xi’er’s portrait was extremely inconsistent with his own, he would have left behind his doubts. The next day, he saw that it was indeed as beautiful as a heavenly immortal. Later, he learned from Shi Xi’er that the painter who painted her portrait had demanded a high price. His parents didn’t agree, so the painter would have deliberately painted ugly!
From the looks of it, this matter was obviously fake! That portrait is real! Shi Xi’er is so ugly!
Su Wanwan looked at Shi Xi’er, who was on the verge of death and was even unconscious due to excessive bleeding. She covered her mouth and smiled. She used her ability to whisper out Shi Xi’er’s voice, “Your Majesty, don’t believe them! I didn’t do those things …”
Wasn’t he trying to cover it up by saying this now? Hearing this, everyone felt extremely disgusted in their hearts.
“Your Majesty, I’ve brought the instruments of torture!” The guards who had gone to fetch the instruments of torture had arrived, and they walked towards Su Wanwan with sharp knives in their hands, who did not know the truth!
Su Wanwan looked calmly at the Empress. She said coldly, “What are you doing? Do you think the Emperor is unconscious? Now that you know who is right and who is wrong, why would the Emperor attack Eldest Miss Zhao?”
The women on the side echoed, and Qi Sheng’s expression sank.
How could he attack Su Wanwan in front of everyone! Although Su Wanwan was abrupt, now …
Qi Sheng raised his hand and pointed at the old woman who was unconscious in the distance. “Punish her! Not Eldest Miss Zhao!” He said.
“…”
When everyone heard this, although they knew that the old woman on the ground was the Imperial Consort, their hearts were still a little nervous, but Qi Sheng opened his mouth, so they could only make a move!
In just a few seconds, Shi Xi’er’s miserable scream rang out. It was so loud that it resounded throughout the Changle Palace!
His voice was so long that it was like a nightmare wrapped around his heart in a midnight dream!
The ladies were very scared and left one after another. Zhao Ziyan stood beside Su Wanwan and watched the whole process calmly.
There should be a beginning and an end to this matter. Su Wanwan secretly took advantage of everyone’s carelessness to release Qi Chengfeng. Qi Chengfeng and Qi Sheng talked alone and asked for something. Then, she took the imperial edict and Su Wanwan and left the palace for the Prime Minister’s mansion.
“What is that imperial edict?” Su Wanwan asked.
Qi Chengfeng opened it for Su Wanwan to take a look. Su Wanwan immediately smiled and her footsteps quickened.
Su Wanwan was very happy along the way. The two of them arrived at the Prime Minister’s Mansion. The Prime Minister’s Mansion was holding a banquet, as if they didn’t know what had happened last night.
If it weren’t for Qi Chengfeng, Su Wanwan wouldn’t have been able to enter the Prime Minister’s Mansion!
When the two of them arrived at the banquet, they heard a shrill voice, “Oh! Isn’t this Su Wanwan? Is this the rumored Miss Zhao?”
Why was this harsh tone so familiar? Su Wanwan looked over and saw Mrs. Tang sitting there with Mrs. Tang in her arms giggling.
“This person is naturally different from the Third Prince!” A woman echoed.
The speaker’s voice was none other than the prime minister’s wife, Madam Nian!
“Aiya, Third Prince, didn’t I say it? There are a lot of women here. Why do you need a woman who has been used by others?” Mrs. Tang looked at Su Wanwan provocatively.
