Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 209 You may not prove yourself, but I have evidence!

Five years ago, Mei Xingyue met Yue Shan by chance. After they developed feelings for each other, Mei Xingyue suddenly left without saying goodbye.

Five years later, she appeared at the Cultural Heritage Conference with her three children, posing as a goddess, and publicly acknowledged the Crown Prince, all for the position of Crown Princess.

"Over the past five years, the four members of the Mei family have traveled all over the country, committing countless evils and killing countless people. After moving into the East Palace, they have not changed their nature at all!"

Upon hearing this, Ang Lee clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face.

He never knew that his daughter was facing such a family of monsters!

He had thought that even if the Mei family was ruthless, it was only some kind of internal scheming. He never expected that they had been taking pleasure in torturing and killing people all along.

Thinking of his daughter being tortured to death by such a vicious person, Ang Lee's breathing became rapid, and he wished he could tear Mei Xingyue to pieces!

The eldest princess's accusations continued: "Once the Mei family moved into the East Palace, they began to mistreat the servants. In just over ten days, the number of corpses carried out of the East Palace was so large that the morgue was almost overflowing!"

As the princess spoke, her gaze fell upon the head eunuch beside Bai Xiaoxiao.

"Eunuch Liu, you are in charge of all the palace cells. Has the chief eunuch reported this matter to you?"

Eunuch Liu sighed and nodded.

“This servant does know about this matter, but the people from the Crown Prince’s Palace said that these eunuchs and maids were beaten to death for offending their masters… This is a matter for the Crown Prince’s Palace, and this servant should not inquire about it.”

The eldest princess snorted coldly: "And another one that's hard to get involved in!"

Eunuch Liu was the personal eunuch of the Great Zhou Emperor, and now he had been sent by the Great Zhou Emperor to serve the Imperial Noble Consort.

But in reality, they are still responsible to the Great Zhou Emperor.

It was his dereliction of duty, but Jiang Yueli didn't want to punish him severely, so she was just about to fine him by reducing his salary.

Bai Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Guards! As the chief eunuch, Eunuch Liu turned a blind eye to the massacre of innocent people in the palace. I think he no longer needs to hold this position. Take him out of Chengtian Gate and behead him!"

Bai Xiaoxiao's words shocked everyone present!

Even the eldest princess looked at her with surprise.

Eunuch Liu was a close confidant of the Great Zhou Emperor; even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner.

Even if Jiang Yueli wanted to punish Eunuch Liu, she would only demote him and reduce his salary, but Bai Xiaoxiao actually dared to kill him directly!

Eunuch Liu clearly hadn't expected the Imperial Noble Consort to be so ruthless.

He immediately shouted anxiously, "I am His Majesty's personal eunuch, who dares to touch me?"

"Imperial Noble Consort, how dare you overstep His Majesty's authority and try to kill us? Do you intend to rebel?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao burst into a charming laugh, almost to the point of tears.

After calming down for a while, she looked at Eunuch Liu and said, "Rebellion? Do I need to rebel? I think you're getting senile. I'm the regent of the Great Zhou now. What kind of rebellion is this?"

"Guards, gag him and take him away!"

When the Imperial Noble Consort was overseeing the country, her orders were naturally obeyed by the Embroidered Robe Envoy.

Several people immediately came in and took the limp Liu Eunuch out!

With just a few words, he killed one of the Emperor of the Great Zhou's close associates. Such ruthlessness chilled everyone in the Fengtian Hall to the bone.

Jiang Yueli was even more puzzled by Bai Xiaoxiao. This woman acted erratically and did not follow the rules, making her truly unpredictable.

Is this person really related to his master?

Bai Xiaoxiao remained calm, as if she hadn't just given the order to kill.

She raised her hand to signal the eldest princess: "Yue Li, please continue."

The princess regained her senses and reorganized her thoughts.

He continued, "Later, merely torturing and killing palace maids and eunuchs was no longer enough for the Mei family, so they set their sights on Consort Li..."

"Regarding Consort Li... Lord Li An has already addressed this in court. To avoid upsetting Lord Li, I will not elaborate further."

"After hearing what the four members of the Mei family have done, do you all think that Mei Xingyue is still worthy of marrying into the royal family? And those three devilish children, are they worthy of being descendants of the Jiang family?"

The continuous questioning silenced the court officials.

It wasn't until Chen Wenyu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "In my opinion, Mei Xingyue should never marry into the royal family, and these three children of the Mei family should not be included in the royal genealogy."

The sounds, rising and falling, slowly began to emerge.

"I second that proposal!"

"I second that proposal!"

Chen Wenyu took the lead, and a group of civil officials stood up to express their opinions.

When Qian Tao and other military officers also stood up to support her, Mei Xingyue completely broke down.

She no longer cared about appearances and pointed at the princess, cursing, "Jiang Yueli, you poisonous woman, why are you slandering me?"

The eldest princess remained unfazed: "Oh? What have I done to slander you?"

“The Crown Prince and I are truly in love. Although we did not have the traditional betrothal ceremony, we still swore an oath before heaven and earth!” Mei Xingyue said through gritted teeth. “I gave birth to three children with great difficulty, almost losing my life. These are all royal blood, yet you refuse to let them be included in the imperial genealogy. What are your intentions?”

As Mei Xingyue spoke, she looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, seemingly wanting Bai Xiaoxiao to make the decision for her.

"Imperial Noble Consort! The Princess just made slanderous accusations, and I, this commoner, do not accept them at all!"

“My three children are precocious. My eldest daughter, Jiang Nianmei, is well-educated and reasonable. One of my sons is quick-witted and studious, and the other is naturally strong.”

"These three are truly blessed children bestowed upon the Great Zhou royal family by Heaven, yet the Eldest Princess has slandered them as evil spirits. I, this humble woman, refuse to accept this!"

"The princess's claim that my three children have been abusing innocent people for the past five years is a complete fabrication without any evidence."

“Our family of four has traveled all over the country and suffered countless hardships, but we have always abided by the law and never overstepped the rules. The princess’s words are slander from beginning to end.”

"This humble woman begs the Imperial Noble Consort to uphold justice and restore my innocence!"

Mei Xingyue spoke with tears streaming down her face, and coupled with her foxy charm, she appeared pitiful and endearing.

Inside the Fengtian Hall, even those with weak wills couldn't help but feel pity for her.

But Bai Xiaoxiao, Jiang Yueli, and Zhou Wei remained calm and unaffected.

Even someone as well-versed in classical texts as Chen Wenyu, possessing a noble spirit, was not affected.

Needless to say, the military generals like Qian Tao had all been on the battlefield and were filled with a murderous aura, so the fox spirit's charm had no effect on them at all!

These people found Mei Xingyue's constant crying annoying!

Feng Polu, with his explosive temper, couldn't help but shout, "Enough, Goddess! This is Fengtian Hall, not a place for you to whine and cry. Since you say that the Princess is slandering you, then you should find a way to prove yourself."

"Otherwise, all you'll do is cry and whine without producing any evidence. Wouldn't that be forcing the Imperial Noble Consort to stand up for you?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Xingyue nearly vomited blood and glared angrily at Feng Polu.

He cursed the military officer in his heart, calling him a scoundrel!

Jiang Yueli slandered her, but Feng Polu wouldn't let Jiang Yueli provide evidence. He actually made her, the victim, prove herself. How could such a thing be true?

"This general's words are too biased. It is the princess who is spreading rumors and slandering me. Why should I prove myself?"

Feng Polu, however, argued unreasonably: "If you cannot prove yourself, then the Princess is not slandering you."

"you you……"

Mei Xingyue trembled with anger, feeling utterly powerless, like a scholar encountering a soldier who couldn't reason with him.

It wasn't until the eldest princess spoke again that everyone's attention was drawn back.

"General Feng, please do not pressure the goddess. She cannot prove her innocence, but I have evidence."

Upon hearing this, Mei Xingyue's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty.

A five-year-old girl from Qingzhou Prefecture... had her limbs broken by Nianmei, was turned into a human pig, and was finally burned by Xiaoyue...

A three-year-old child from Linzhou Prefecture... was bound by Nianmei with a tattered fishing net, his flesh was sliced ​​off piece by piece, and finally Xiaoyue threw him into the river...

Yanzhou Prefecture...

Zhenjiang Prefecture...

Mei Xingyue's mind raced through the names of the people who had been tortured and killed by Jiang Nianmei and Jiang Nianyue over the years.

No, no...

Every time they committed murder, they disposed of the body cleanly, leaving no trace.

Jiang Yueli definitely doesn't have any evidence!

He was just bluffing to scare himself. He had to stay calm and not be fooled by that bitch Jiang Yueli.

Mei Xingyue forced herself to remain calm and looked at Jiang Yueli: "Is that so? Since the Princess claims to have evidence, would you dare to present it to all of you gentlemen?"
