Chapter 92
Ling Yang College [6]
Xiao Yuan Cheng rolled onto the floor . When he got up, he was shuddering from head to foot . “Replying to your majesty, B-bei Yue, since little she has a w-weak body . I have invited famous doctors and they were all unable to do anything about it . I have failed to live up to the emperor’s expectations . I am guilty . ”
The sweat on his forehead dripped down from his face as if it’s raining . The people from the Xiao family were all kneeling on the ground, each and every one of them anxious .
“You still dare deceive me! If you had taken good care of Bei Yue, how can she be so thin?” The Emperor shouted loudly .
The Empress was behind him, trying to use a soft voice to calm him . However, she was pushed away by the Emperor . This was the first time that Princess Ying Ye saw her father Emperor this angry . So she could only hide behind Zhan Ye, anxiously looking at the scene unfold .
Xiao Yuan Cheng’s mind trembled so much that he was completely speechless . He specifically ordered Concubine Xue to send the best silk gauze, jewelry, and head ornaments to give to Huang Bei Yue . He wanted to let her dress herself up seeming as if she didn’t lose her status . Then he could let her enter the palace without causing trouble .
But he would’ve never thought that the Emperor’s care and concern towards Huang Bei Yue were unexpectedly down to the smallest detail .
Seeing her pale and thin face, which differed from what he had told the Emperor, “Princess Bei Yue is well . ”
If everything is well then how would she become so thin? Then why would her face be so pale!
To deceive the monarch is a big crime . He could never forget the time when Princess Zhang was alive . This child was favored by the Emperor .
It’s not an exaggeration if he says that the Emperor considers Princess Bei Yue like a treasure . If the Emperor found out what kind of life she had lived these past years, then the entire Xiao family would probably be executed unto the third generation .
He originally intended that since Huang Bei Yue’s body is weak, she wouldn’t be able to live long . When the moment comes, all his problems will be solved . How can there be so many problems now?
However, he is out of his wits right now . He just wanted to calm the Emperor’s fury . When he thought about executing his entire Xiao family, his entire body won’t stop shaking .
Xiao Yun has a sharp mind, seeing this situation she knew that this time it’s big trouble . Immediately she walked up while kneeling, said:
“Replying to the Emperor, father is really good towards Princess Bei Yue . Princess’s body was weak since she was young . The doctors are also helpless . Father tells the kitchen every day to make a tonic for the Princess but the Princess’s body isn’t able to absorb the nutrients . Unexpectedly it became worse, the doctor said that the Princess might not be able to withstand the tonic . That’s why she stopped . However, father was still worried . He would let my mother make the medicine for her to drink every day . This little girl doesn’t dare to lie . Princess, please help father say something . Blood is thicker than water and you’re so filial . You definitely don’t want to see father feel apprehensive right?”
This Xiao Yun really knows how to talk . Some of her words were helping Xiao Yuan Cheng lie while at the same time making Huang Bie Yue have nothing to say .
Indeed, the doctor said that her body can’t withstand the tonic and nutrients . Concubine Xue actually does send medicine to her every day .
Father and daughter affection . Blood is thicker than water, these words are so pleasant to hear!
It made Huang Bei Yue cannot help but be moved after hearing that .
Such a loving and caring father, how can she allow him to feel apprehensive right?
The Emperor looked at her lovingly, said: “Bei Yue, you tell me the truth . Is Xiao Yuan Cheng good to you? With me here, you don’t have to be afraid of anything! If he dared to not be good to you, I will immediately execute him!”
Hearing these words, Xiao Yuan Cheng immediately tremble for a moment, cold sweat covered his body .
He couldn’t even kneel properly . His whole body was about to go limp on the ground .
His heart only thought that it’s all over, that this time he’s done for .
The Emperor wanted her to say how well she had lived in the prefecture all these years . If she says everything . Then today will be the day that their Xiao family will be completely executed ah!
