PDLP Chapter 507 She must have been plotted against today.
Chapter 507 She must have been plotted against today.
When Xi Jiangyue heard this, despair appeared in her eyes.
She didn't know how to explain it.
Even though she knew very well that this was not the case, she couldn't say a word to refute it.
Because what Bei Yunting said was the truth. From the beginning of the banquet until Yi Qianhuan's accident, she had only drank with him.
She was clearly being wronged but couldn't utter a word in rebuttal. Xi Jiangyue felt as if all her strength had been drained away and she sat on the ground in dejection.
Tears of despair filled her eyes, and Xi Jiangyue knew very well that she was completely finished this time.
"Your Majesty, I think there must be something fishy about this matter. Please understand and don't wrongly accuse the Princess of Xijiang!"
Xi Jiangyue blinked, and as tears rolled down her cheeks, she saw Bei Yingchen kneeling beside her and begging.
Bei Yingchen's eyes were firm and without any doubt. He knocked his forehead against the ground again and again.
The despair in her eyes wavered for a moment, and Xi Jiangyue looked at Bei Yingchen with emotion.
In this situation, he is still willing to stand up and speak for himself, which shows that Bei Yingchen really cares about himself!
Xi Jiangyue was deeply moved, but she didn't know how to stop Bei Yingchen.
She was not a flower grown in a greenhouse. She had lived a hard life in the treacherous harem since she was a child. She knew very well that she must have been plotted against today.
She couldn't find out who was behind it, nor did she have a way to extricate herself.
In this case, Bei Yingchen would be asking for trouble if he spoke up for her.
He cared so much about her that she couldn't let him down in any way.
With a look of determination in her eyes, Xi Jiangyue took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, the God of State was not poisoned, but the curse in his body erupted, which caused the God of State to fall into a coma." At this time, Shen Yanqing led his two younger brothers to kneel down first.
"Oh?" Bei Yunting looked at the three brothers of the Shen family with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Let's not talk about whether this is true or not. Even if it is true, why do you three brothers know about such a secret?"
"Because, it is because of us that the God of the Nation was cursed." Shen Yanqing's eyes revealed a resolute look, and he continued slowly: "I am responsible for guarding the dragon vein. Before, turbid air suddenly appeared in the dragon vein. I went to find the God of the Nation for help. When the God of the Nation went to the dragon vein to clear the turbid air, he was counterattacked by the turbid air, which led to the curse."
"In that case, the national god has fulfilled his obligations and successfully protected the dragon vein. But why didn't you report such a big thing? Shen Yanqing, it is a serious crime to know about it and not report it." Bei Yunting exuded a sense of oppression.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Shen Yanqing's forehead.
"Your Majesty, we actually did not report it on purpose." At this time, Shen Yaosi knelt down and took two steps forward.
"Haha, you mean that you committed a crime intentionally and tried to provoke me?" Bei Yunting smiled even more coldly.
"Your Majesty, all of this was the intention of the Lord God of the State. The Lord God of the State realized that someone was behind this, trying to undermine the foundation of the Yunzhao Kingdom by destroying the dragon veins. In order not to alert the enemy, the Lord God of the State decided to silently bear the curse and wait quietly for the mastermind to appear." Shen Yaosi's tone was firm throughout, but his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, the national god did reveal this matter to me." At this moment, Ji Chilian, who had been paying attention only to Qian Huan, spoke.
Unable to help but glance at Ji Chilian, Shen Yaosi knew very well that as long as Ji Chilian was willing to come forward, this matter would be a sure thing, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Chilian continued, "The God of the State could not bear to let the people of the world worry, and wanted to find out the mastermind as soon as possible, and wait until everything was completed, but unexpectedly the curse in her body suddenly erupted, which led to her coma. Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Princess is on good terms with the God of the State. After the God of the State wakes up, he must not want to see the Thirteenth Princess being implicated because of her. Please understand your Majesty."
"But no one can prove that the curse on the national god has nothing to do with Xijiang Kingdom. Over the years, Xijiang Kingdom has been eyeing our Yunzhao Kingdom. How can we ignore their actions? Who among you present can guarantee with his life that Xijiang Kingdom has no hostility towards us?" Bei Yunting slowed down at the end, his sharp eyes sweeping across everyone's face like a sharp blade.
This time, Ji Chilian and the three brothers of the Shen family did not speak.
After all, he really couldn't guarantee the situation in Xijiang Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I can guarantee it." At this moment, Xi Jiangyue spoke.
She knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Bei Yunting.
Bei Yunting seemed to have heard a huge joke: "How shameless!"
The other guests at the banquet almost simultaneously cast contemptuous glances at Xi Jiangyue.
The Yunzhao Kingdom and the Xijiang Kingdom have been in a state of hostility over the years. It is really ridiculous that Xijiangyue had the audacity to say such words!
Xi Jiangyue looked straight ahead and saluted Bei Yunting once again: "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that the people of Xi Jiang and I have no hostility towards Yun Zhao!"
"Yun Zhao and Xi Jiang have been testing each other for so many years. Every conflict has caused great suffering to the people on the border. As a princess, I also don't want to see the people of the two countries suffer. Therefore, I can guarantee that I and the people of Xi Jiang will never have any hostility towards Yun Zhao, because we all want to live a stable life."
After Xi Jiangyue finished speaking, everyone present fell into a brief silence.
"What the Thirteenth Princess said is very true." Shangguan Fu also knelt in front of Bei Yunting. "This matter concerns the peace between the two countries. I hope Your Majesty will understand. Even if you want to convict him, you must at least wait until the Lord of the Country wakes up. Otherwise, if the relationship between the two countries deteriorates due to a temporary misunderstanding, it will not benefit anyone!"
"Your Majesty, please understand!" At this time, Beizhan also knelt down.
The other people present also knelt down.
Looking at the crowd kneeling down, Bei Yunting almost crushed the armrest of the dragon throne in his hand.
Concubine Cao thought of the scene just now, pointed at Bei Zhanye's nose and scolded: "Prince Regent, the emperor will decide how to deal with this matter. Why are you expressing your opinion here without authorization?"
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Your Majesty, please respect yourself." Bei Zhanye said coldly.
When Concubine Cao saw that Bei Zhanye didn't know how to restrain himself and was about to get angry, she heard Bei Yunting's roar.
"enough!"
Snapped-!
As the slap landed, half of Concubine Cao's face was instantly twisted. She looked at Bei Zhanye in disbelief: "Your Majesty?"
"Strip Concubine Cao of her concubine's clothes and send her to the cold palace!" Bei Yunting waved his hand casually, and immediately the Dragon Shadow Guards stepped forward and forcibly dragged Concubine Cao away.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again!" Concubine Cao had no idea what she had done wrong. She was dragged away by the man and was so scared that she kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
But Bei Yunting didn't even look at her.
Concubine Cao's desperate voice echoed in the air, and everyone present felt terrified without exception.
