TFWYH – Chapter 710 The Emperor Exposes

Tang Wan caught sight of Su Xi not far away and frowned slightly. She simply had Ling Yu support Jiang Shi while she herself walked over to Su Xi.

However, when she reached Su Xi, she discovered that Su Xi was crying.

What was going on?

Tang Wan very much wanted to ask what had happened, but Su Xi stubbornly refused to say anything and just kept crying.

Tang Wan: …

Why the heck are you crying?

I’m asking you a question!

But Su Xi simply wouldn’t answer. Instead, she cried even harder.

Tang Wan was completely baffled.

Meanwhile, Gu Yanshuang was still pleading for mercy. She had even thrown herself at Huangfu Yi’s feet, clutching his legs.

“Your Highness, please plead on Rong’an’s behalf! She is your biological daughter!”

Huangfu Yi was so overwhelmed by her incessant wailing that he was on the verge of losing his mind.

“And you’re still talking? Do you even know what your daughter has done? She poisoned Ronglan! Ronglan is your daughter too—she nearly died! Do you understand that?”

The key issue was that the Emperor had personally witnessed everything.

Since the decree had come from the Emperor himself, what could Huangfu Yi possibly do?

Gu Yanshuang was both anxious and furious. The little voice in her heart screamed endlessly:

That little bitch isn’t my daughter! I only have one daughter, Rong’an!

But she didn’t dare say those words aloud.

Just because she wouldn’t say it didn’t mean others wouldn’t.

Hearing her pleas, the Emperor sneered and exposed the truth directly.

“Why would she care about Ronglan? Ronglan isn’t even her biological daughter. She’d rather see Ronglan dead!”

What?!

Everyone was stunned.

Ling Yu, Tang Wan, and Jiang Shi were shocked because they couldn’t believe the Emperor had revealed the truth so openly—and in this setting of all places.

Huangfu Yi was shocked because of the statement “Ronglan isn’t Gu Yanshuang’s daughter.”

Could it be…

Could Gu Yanshuang’s first pregnancy have been fake?

Had Ronglan been brought home from elsewhere?

Had he spent all these years raising someone else’s child?

Gu Yanshuang, on the other hand, was horrified because she realized:

It’s over.

The Emperor knew.

But how?

Who had betrayed her?

Receiving everyone’s astonished gazes, the Emperor maintained his majestic composure.

Meanwhile, the little voice in his heart was positively delighted.

Oh my, this feeling of being the center of everyone’s attention is fantastic!

You’re all curious, aren’t you?

You can’t figure out my intentions, can you?

Hahaha…

The Emperor glanced at Wan Zhenxiang.

Without a single word being spoken, Wan Zhenxiang immediately understood. Stepping forward, he rattled off Gu Yanshuang’s crimes one after another as if pouring beans from a sack.

How she had beaten several of Huangfu Yi’s concubines to death.

How she had secretly administered infertility drugs to Huangfu Yi.

Huangfu Yi was dumbfounded.

He stared at Gu Yanshuang in utter disbelief.

Gu Yanshuang herself was equally stunned. The color gradually drained from her face as she stared blankly at the Emperor, momentarily forgetting even to defend herself.

The Emperor looked at her with a cold smile.

“Are you wondering how I know all this? I have the Dragon Shadow Guards. As long as I wish it, what filthy deeds can’t I uncover?”

“You thought you had covered your tracks perfectly?”

“Heh…”

“Gu Yanshuang, your heart is more venomous than a poisonous serpent’s. Even if you died ten thousand times, it still wouldn’t atone for everything you’ve done.”

“No… no… no! It’s not true!”

Gu Yanshuang finally snapped out of her daze. Shaking her head frantically, she desperately denied the accusations.

“I never did any of it! Your Majesty, this daughter-in-law has been wronged!”

“Second Prince, I truly never did such things. You have to believe me!”

Terrified, Huangfu Yi kicked her away and stumbled backward several steps.

He looked at her face in horror, as though seeing her for the very first time.

“Your Highness…”

Weeping, Gu Yanshuang crawled back toward him, clinging to his legs as tears streamed down her face.

“I am already your princess consort. I had no reason to do any of those things!”

“Your Highness, you must believe me!”

Huangfu Yi’s thoughts were in complete chaos.

He didn’t even know how he was supposed to react anymore.
