Chapter 855: Chapter 853: Mu Fei Testifies

Su Yingxue immediately threw off the blanket, pulling it over Chu Yihan’s head, “Hmph, I certainly won’t miss it!”

Her little feet left a series of thumping sounds on the floor, and by the time Chu Yihan cast aside the blanket, she had already changed her clothes with incredible speed.

She stuck out her tongue at Chu Yihan with a triumphant look, “Even you can be slow sometimes!”

Hmph!

Was she someone who would quietly endure repeated bullying?

Absolutely not!

A devilish streak flashed through Chu Yihan’s eyes. Once today’s affairs were dealt with, he would naturally let her know if he was truly slow or not!

Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue entered the palace, heading in the direction of Funing Palace.

According to Chu Yihan’s plan, under Qin Rulie’s suspicion and investigation, the identity of Princess Zhao Hua should have been clarified.

But someone had entered Funing Palace before them and turned the situation around.

In front of Funing Hall, Mu Fei paid his respects to the Empress Dowager and others.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, “Are you the master of Xi Lou in the Ghost Market, Mu Fei?”

On Mu Fei’s effeminate face, a seductive smile surfaced, “Replying to the Empress Dowager, this humble one is indeed Mu Fei. Previously, the news of Princess Zhao Hua was traded by me to Lord Lou Tai and sold to him.”

By his side, Lou Tai hurriedly admitted, “Empress Dowager, this humble servant has been searching for the princess’s bloodline for many years and dared not neglect it. This time… it was also verified that the princess indeed ended up in the Great Cheng Dynasty, giving birth to Princess Zhao Hua, who was then picked up and raised by the Shen couple.”

“However, that Shen couple just slipped up, saying that Zhao Hua is their own biological daughter. How do you explain that?”

Qin Rulie asked sharply.

Lou Tai, feeling the pressure, trembled, “This…”

He looked towards Mu Fei for help, as it was from Mu Fei that he had bought this information. Mu Fei had assured him with conviction that the person they found was definitely the real princess’s bloodline, and he had believed it to be true, never expecting such a situation to arise!

Mu Fei, however, remained calm, “Replying to the Emperor, this Shen couple are of humble origins, to have the fortune to see Your Majesty’s face is the blessing of several lifetimes. Naturally, they would be frightened. Look, both of them are still shivering.”

Shen father and Shen mother lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to lift their heads. Seeing all eyes turn towards them, they immediately started to cry and beg for mercy, “Emperor, spare our lives! Please, spare us!”

In front of them knelt Shen Yu, wiping away her tears.

In her heart, she had already cursed her biological parents eight hundred times. These fools!

Her wealth and honor were about to be ruined by their hands!

They deserved to die!

“I…I know I come from a humble background and am unworthy to be a princess. If the imperial grandmother and Imperial Brother doubt my identity, there is no need to trouble yourselves, please allow me to resign,” Shen Yu said, covering her chest with a fragile appearance, looking pitiable to anyone who saw her.

The Empress Dowager, deeply affectionate for her granddaughter, was already distressed beyond measure, but on the matter of blood ties, she was resolute, “Don’t cry just yet, the situation is not clear. If you truly are Zheng Er’s bloodline, the Empress Dowager will certainly grant you a lifetime of glory and make you the most honored princess of the Great Wei Dynasty! But if you are not… it would mean deliberate deception! The Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty’s bloodline must not be sullied!”

Shen Yu trembled all over, disbelieving.

When the Empress Dowager had doted on her, regaining her had been like retrieving a precious jewel, cherished so much that even the slightest wind was not allowed to touch her.

But now…

“Emperor, you previously mentioned you suspected someone else to be Zheng Er’s bloodline, who is that person?”
