imperial princess

Chapter 264: Conclusive Evidence, Karma

"Hahaha···"

The insane and exaggerated laughter mixed with unmistakable sarcasm continued to resound throughout the hall, and all the guests and friends shook their heads. The emperor and prince were both angry and ashamed. At this point, even a fool would know that Wei Yang could not be innocent. Taking a step back, even if he is innocent, he will no longer be of the orthodox bloodline of the Duke Protector's Mansion, so what are they busy doing to ruin their own reputation?lonely?

The longer he laughed, the more exaggerated he was, the more uncertain Wei Yang felt. If he could, he would have rushed up to cover his mouth and ordered him not to laugh anymore, but how could he have such confidence now?The gaze for help turned to Xia Yunpeng subconsciously, but what he received was his sinister stare. Wei Yang's heart tightened, and his fear deepened. Where does he have extravagance for his position?But at the same time, he hated him so much, he hated himself for being too soft-hearted at the beginning, for not killing Qin Tian directly, hating Qin Tian for not coming back, hating Xia Yunzhou for meddling in his own business, and even hating Shizi's wife for being ruthless and not showing any affection.

"You said that the king hates you?"

I don't know how long it took, but the laughter stopped abruptly. Xia Yunzhou swept away the previous madness, looked at Wei Yang who was still kneeling on the ground mockingly and proudly, and before he could speak, he curled his lips and said, "You are worthy? Yesterday, father When the emperor bestowed marriage on you and the crown prince, didn’t he just announce to the world that this king has never had anything to do with you, and the matter of the marriage contract was purely made up by uneasy and well-meaning people? If that’s the case, why does this king hate you?”

After the words fell, it was not only Wei Yang who was slapped in the face?The emperor, prince and prince, including Duke Hu, felt a dull pain in their cheeks. They were both angry and ashamed, but they dared not speak out because they couldn't deny it.

"I...you..."

This face was not too sharp, Wei Yang's face turned pale and green, green and black, black and white, not to mention how beautiful it is, the trembling lips opened and closed several times, but they couldn't say a decent word , Said that they had a marriage contract?His hooking up with the prince is tantamount to cuckolding him. Of course he has reason to hate him, but in this way, it is tantamount to slapping the emperor and Duke Hu in the face. He doesn't have the courage, but if he denies the marriage contract, he is a dignified prince, and he really has no reason to hate him. For a while, he couldn't find the right words to refute.

"Your Highness, please summon someone to investigate. No matter what the result is, I, the Duke of the Protectorate, owes you a favor. If your Highness needs it in the future, as long as it does not violate the basic morality and conscience, the Duke of the Protector will do everything possible." Of!"

Looking back and forth at them, Lord Protector clasped his fists with a haughty face. To them, nothing is as important as finding out the truth. Even though they have almost confirmed that Wei Yang is the mastermind behind the trafficking of Qin Tian, ​​he wants to see it as evidence. How could he deny it when it was in front of him? As for his promise, it was not only to thank Kang Wang for his intentions, but also out of guilt and compensation.

"grandfather···"

Wei Yang turned his head abruptly, his red and swollen tearful eyes almost fell off, are they really so heartless?Do you have to convict him on the spot and put him to death?

Wei Chen ignored him. No, to be precise, no one in the Wei family paid him any attention. Everyone's eyes were on Xia Yunzhou, hoping that those who had found out about him had really found something. If it turns out, They wronged Wei Yang, so if they are willing to make up for it, they will still treat him as a family member. On the contrary, they will not tolerate him.

"Snapped!"

After staring deeply at Duke Protector for a while, Xia Yunzhou flicked his fingers, and the shadow guard appeared instantly: "Tell them what you have found."

Don't look at Xia Yunzhou who is calm on the surface, but there are already huge waves in his heart. The matter has progressed to this step, almost all of which are in Yang Zhao's expectation, exactly. His brain is really terrible. Fortunately, he chose to Instead of using his status as a prince to forcefully bring Yixuan and his son back to the palace, otherwise, he has reason to believe that all of Yang Zhao's means will probably be used on him.

"Yes."

After bowing respectfully, the leader of the Shadow Guards turned to face the Duke Protector: "According to our investigation, Qin Tian was kidnapped by a few hooligans from Qingtan Town, dozens of miles away from the capital, and sold to Kang From Lanzhou Mansion, following this clue, we found those ruffians. This is their confession. It is confirmed that the one who hired them for 1000 taels of silver to kidnap and sell Qin Tian is Wei Yang from your mansion. They..."

"Impossible, you lied!"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Yang jumped up when he heard his name, but the leader of the shadow guard replied without changing his face: "The reason why you denied it so firmly is because you deliberately changed it at that time." Just pretend, those hooligans have already confessed. In order to make more money in the future, they quietly followed you all the way while you were not paying attention. We also asked them to draw your portrait, all of which are here. In addition, we also found out that Qin Tian’s deceased parents were unable to have children at all. He was a child picked up by them, but few people in the village knew about it. , even Qin Tian himself doesn’t know.”

"Do not···"

He never dreamed that those people would follow him, Wei Yang's legs went weak, and he fell to the ground, while the leader of the shadow guard presented the evidence in front of Duke Protector Wei Chen with both hands.

"Snapped!"

After looking through the evidence one by one, Wei Chen's face became more and more ugly, and finally threw them on Wei Yang's face with his backhand: "What else can you say? My Duke Protector has treated you badly all these years ? How dare you sell the blood of the Duke of the Protector's family thousands of miles away as slaves without telling us, who gave you the guts?"

Wei Chen was trembling with anger. If it wasn't for the strong willpower to support him, he would have slapped him to death long ago.

"No, grandfather, I was wrong. I was very scared at the time. I was afraid that you would know that I was not your own after seeing Qin Tian. I was afraid..."

Knowing that it was impossible to continue sophistry, Wei Yang screamed and rushed over, trying to hug his leg and beg for mercy, but Wei Chen kicked him without thinking: "Are you afraid? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will not be able to keep your glory and wealth? Or are you afraid that Qin Tian will rob you of the honor of the eldest grandson of the Duke of Huguo?"

"bump!"

"what!"

Wei Chen led the army all the year round, even though he was almost sixty years old, his strength should not be underestimated. How could Wei Yang, who was spoiled and spoiled since childhood, suffer from such a crime?The slender and flexible body flew upside down several meters before landing heavily on the ground. The pain caused him to shriek and scream. He curled up and crawled on the ground, unable to get up. His already embarrassing figure could not stop shaking.

In order to continue to occupy the position of the eldest grandson of the Duke of the Protectorate, and for his own fame, fortune and wealth, he selfishly and viciously sold the real blood of the Duke of the Protector to thousands of miles away as slaves. No one in the room expressed sympathy, let alone He felt that there was something wrong with the Duke Protector, and put himself in his shoes, if something like this happened to his family, they might not be calmer than him.

"My son, you have suffered all these years."

Mrs. Shizi, who had already burst into tears, stepped forward and made a gesture to hug Qin Tian, ​​but Qin Tian took a few steps back with the child in his arms: "Sorry, Mrs. Shizi, this happened so suddenly, I'm sorry. I didn’t know how to accept it for a while. I grew up in a farm family since I was a child. Regardless of whether my deceased parents were my own or not, they treated me like a parent and child. Maybe our life was difficult, but the family of three is also happy. , plus the experience of the last two years, if I can make my own choice, I would rather continue to be my little commoner than the eldest grandson of the Duke of the Protectorate, please give me some time."

Don't blame him for being too unfeeling to his biological mother. If anyone faced his situation, it would be impossible for him to cry with Mrs. Shizi without any grudges. Besides, he is not stupid. The emperor has not promised Kang Wang to marry him. Chen Yixuan's marriage and his distinguished and noble status may not be as good as others see. Even if he still has to return to the Duke Huguo's Mansion in the end, he must at least grasp some initiative and make sure that he will not become a pawn in their hands , and go to the grave of the adoptive parents to make it clear that this is the most basic filial piety for a son of man.

"My son, woo woo..."

"Okay, today is the eldest princess's birthday, it's not too late to talk slowly after we have something to say!"

Stepping over to hug his wife who was almost out of control, the son raised his head and looked at Qin Tian: "Your appearance is exactly the same as Ling'er is enough to explain everything. I believe you are also very clear in your heart that you are indeed the blood of my Duke Huguo. Why you were dropped out back then, we will investigate clearly when we go back. You are still young, and we won’t force you if you can’t accept it for a while, but it will be a matter of time before you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. I hope you can seriously consider it and see you next time. Just come and help us go home."

Everything happened so suddenly, not to mention Qin Tian, ​​they didn't know what to do, they didn't even know how to deal with their own flesh and blood who had been handed over since they were young and obviously rejected them. The only thing that was certain was that he The ancestors must be recognized and returned to the clan, and the Duke of the Protectorate absolutely does not allow blood to flow outside.

"Ah."

Turning his head to look at Zhaorong and Chen Yixuan respectively, after receiving their silent encouragement, Qin Tian nodded, looked past them at Wei Yang who was still curled up on the ground and weeping in pain, his eyes suddenly focused: "I I don't hate him for taking everything that should belong to me, but he shouldn't have sold me thousands of miles away as a slave without knowing it. Let him taste the karma he planted and become a lowly slave, and he will never be able to stand up in this life."

Maybe it's because he has been with Ye Zhao and Chen Yixuan for a long time, Qin Tian doesn't have the noble character of repaying grievances with virtue, and he doesn't care what others think or think. Wei Yang has to taste the evil results that he has planted by himself.

"This···"

Hearing this, the prince was not without hesitation. He frowned and looked at the emperor who was in charge and the prince sitting next to him. The family affection has also completely disappeared, but Wei Yang is not only a member of the Duke Protector's Mansion, but also the emperor's prospective daughter-in-law and the prince's prospective side concubine. Without the king's voice, he can't make decisions directly over him.

"No, father, I was wrong, please, don't... Father..."

Before the emperor could speak, Wei Yang didn't dare to continue pretending to be dead, and forced himself to crawl towards them with tears streaming down his face. He looked quite embarrassed, but if he hadn't been too selfish and vicious, he had dominated Qin Tian for more than a dozen years. Forget about the years of his life, but he still wants to occupy his whole life, even selling him thousands of miles away as a slave, regardless of Qin Tian's life and the Wei family's upbringing, how could he experience this?
