The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Xie Chenyi sneered and said to King Fenyang: "Father, do you want to find someone to check it? My son's biggest scar is not on his leg."

Now, Concubine Bao was panicked. She thought that after this incident, the princess would doubt whether Liu Ya was a virgin, so she asked Xie Jinbao to deflower Liu Ya early in the morning. Even when she asked the nanny to check, it looked like she was just deflowered.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chenyi asked such a tricky question. She was afraid that Liu Ya would say something wrong in panic, and she was extremely nervous.

At this time, Xie Jinbao suddenly stood up and said ambiguously: "Second brother, you forced yourself on me. The girl is timid and doesn't care about these things."

This sentence relieved Liu Ya's crisis. Liu Ya quickly cried, "I was scared last night and I really don't remember anything."

Blatant lie!

The princess was so angry that she wanted to slap Liu Ya in the face. Anyone who was not blind could see that it was Concubine Bao and her son who were responsible.

But Prince Fenyang believed it and nodded repeatedly: "It is normal for this maid to feel fearful after being violated by the young master of the mansion."

"Your Highness, would you rather trust a maid than your own son?" the princess said gritting her teeth.

Prince Fenyang had always disliked the princess' aggressive attitude. He said in a cold voice, "She is a maidservant in the mansion. If she gets married, there will be many good families who will marry her as their principal wife. How could she possibly defile her purity and become a concubine, and even commit adultery during the mourning period?"

Seeing that the princess and Prince Fenyang were about to quarrel, the things in Xie Chenyi's memory came to his mind again. It was always like this. The princess and the prince had a big quarrel, and Concubine Bao sat back and waited.

Concubine Bao handled today's matter perfectly. He secretly regretted that he was only on guard against Concubine Bao poisoning him, and forgot that she usually used these insidious means to sow discord.

If Prince Fenyang really dislikes him today, and he makes another small mistake tomorrow, perhaps there will be no need to wait until tomorrow. Prince Fenyang, encouraged by Concubine Bao, may very likely write a letter to the Ministry of Clan Affairs tomorrow, listing all his acts of disregard for etiquette.

If he had a bad reputation from now on, the position of crown prince would be further and further away from him.

"Liu Ya, did someone take your family away and force you to slander me?"

Liu Ya shook her head frantically. She just took a lot of money and was not threatened.

She had worked as a maid in the palace all her life, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life as a wealthy lady, and no longer serve others.

Therefore, when she saw the money given by Concubine Bao, it was hard for her not to be tempted. Anyway, after such a commotion, the palace would definitely not keep her anymore. She had already asked someone to prepare the money for redemption. If she helped Concubine Bao, she would soon become a rich free person.

"That's enough, Xie Chenyi, if you have the guts to do what you did, just admit it yourself. How can you be a man if you threaten a maid here!"

Prince Fenyang roared, blocking Xie Chenyi's way to defend himself, and the princess was so angry that she wanted to slam the table and stand up.

Meng Wenyao watched the show for a long time and knew it was time for her to start. She stood up and asked Liu Ya in a gentle voice, "Were you really violated that night? Are you sure that person was the Second Young Master?"

Liu Ya nodded aggrievedly and said softly, "I won't remember it wrongly."

Meng Wenyao sneered: "That's strange, I happened to meet the Second Young Master that night, and it sounds like that was when you met the Second Young Master, how come the Second Young Master can also use the art of splitting himself?"

Seeing Meng Wenyao about to die, Concubine Bao's eyelids began to twitch. She quickly stopped crying and shouted, "Mrs. Meng, you have no right to speak here."

Meng Wenyao rolled her eyes on the spot, ignored Concubine Bao, and continued, "That night I was saddened by the early death of the eldest son. After dinner, I went back to my room and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I got up and went to the ancestral hall. Unexpectedly, I saw the second son also offering incense to the eldest son. According to what you said, the second son should have been violating you at that time. How come I saw a fake second son?"

At this time, Hua Mian immediately responded, "Miss, you are joking. It was indeed the Second Young Master that night."

Now it was Liu Ya's turn to be dumbfounded. She had told such a clumsy lie, so there must be loopholes. But Concubine Bao couldn't wait and insisted that she tell it out.

She raised her head and quickly glanced at Concubine Bao. Concubine Bao didn't know whether what Meng Wenyao said was true or not, so she asked, "I remember that the Second Young Master wore a light blue robe when he had dinner that night. Big Sister-in-law, was the Second Young Master dressed like that when you saw him that night?"

During dinner, Xie Chenyi was indeed wearing light blue, but he went back to his room and couldn't sleep, so he changed his clothes when he came out. Concubine Bao used this to judge whether Meng Wenyao deliberately gave false testimony for Xie Chenyi.

Unexpectedly, Meng Wenyao shook her head and said, "I remember that the second young master was wearing a black robe at that time."

King Fenyang nodded. They searched for a long time that night, and when they finally saw Xie Chenyi, he was indeed wearing a black robe. This showed that Meng Wenyao did not lie, and she did see Xie Chenyi in the ancestral hall.

According to the layout of the palace, Meng Wen Yao goes back to her room and then goes to the ancestral hall. The distance is exactly the same as the distance Xie Chenyi goes back to his room and then goes to the ancestral hall. There should be no time for Xie Chenyi to do other things in between.

"So how long did you stay after you met him?"

This was a bit long. Meng Wenyao remembered that Xie Chenyi took a cold bath for at least half an hour. She answered truthfully: "Half an hour. Because I didn't know the eldest son, I asked the second son about some of the eldest son's life, so it took a bit of time.

I didn't say it before because I was worried that our meeting at night would upset my father and mother, but someone actually slandered the Second Young Master, and I really don't want to hide it and damage his reputation for no reason."

In the original plot, Meng Wen Yao had been living in the Buddhist temple next to the ancestral hall. She knew that the caretaker of the ancestral hall was never there at night, and no one went there at night anyway, so she dared to lie boldly. Even if the prince sent someone to ask, the caretaker would not dare to say that he had left his post without permission.

In this way, the chain of evidence was perfect, and only Liu Ya was left looking around in horror.

The princess slapped the table and sneered, "Liu Ya, do you have anything else to say?"

"Slave, slave..."

She didn't dare to beg for mercy from the princess, nor did she dare to expose Concubine Bao, as that would mean she would die even faster. All she wanted now was for the princess to get angry and drive her out of the palace, so that she would get what she wanted.

Meng Wenyao looked at Concubine Bao's fearless look and suggested, "Let Madam check whether Liu Ya is a virgin. If she is already a virgin, then she must be..."

She didn't finish her words, but those who understood understood that if this was really blamed on Xie Chenyi and the child was really born, it would confuse the bloodline of the royal family.

"Come here, drag him away for a thorough inspection."

Now, Liu Ya no longer dared to have sweet dreams, she knew that she was finished.

"Concubine, help me. Concubine, you asked me to do this. You have to save me."
