Chapter 1193: 578 The Truth Revealed (Second Update)_2

Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed once more, "That’s why I didn’t suspect anything at the time. Nanny Cai had never had any contact with that child, so naturally, I didn’t doubt her even more."

Eunuch Qin clicked his tongue, "This would have aroused suspicion in no one! Who would have thought that the tranquil Imperial Concubine gave birth to a Ning An and hid another Ning An! Even a tiger would not eat its cubs, how could she bear to give up her own flesh and blood to be made into an assassin?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said coldly, "There are all kinds of people in this world."

Eunuch Qin nodded, "That’s true."

Empress Dowager Zhuang expressed regret, "The child didn’t show up in the palace very often, and after the age of ten, she never appeared in front of me again. If she had shown up a few more times, perhaps I would have noticed something."

Huaqing Palace.

The Emperor, who had been smothered unconscious by Princess Xinyang with a pillow, finally woke up again.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Princess Xinyang sitting beside the bed. His first reaction was to suddenly protect his head with his hands!

Princess Xinyang: "..."

Having smothered the Emperor unconscious, Princess Xinyang couldn’t escape. Unless she killed the Emperor, he would definitely hold her accountable for her crime.

But killing him would be troublesome, first, because it’s not easy to dispose of the body, and second, because she was currently serving as the Regent. If the Emperor died and the Crown Prince took the throne, she was worried she would have to continue acting as Regent.

This was quite annoying.

The Emperor, looking at Princess Xinyang’s conflicted expression, why did he feel a sense of unease in his heart?

"Cough!"

The Emperor cleared his throat, calmly lowered his hands, and pretended as if that moment of cowardice had never happened.

Princess Xinyang stood up.

The Emperor immediately wrapped his arms around his head again!

Princess Xinyang: Well then, I’ll just kneel down and admit my fault.

When the Emperor realized what was happening, he became irritated and shouted angrily, "Sit down! Don’t move!"

So she sat down.

It was you who didn’t let me kneel.

Princess Xinyang sat on the stool.

Princess Xinyang didn’t know martial arts, but having spent a long time with Long Yi, she honestly radiated a bit of a killer’s aura, not to mention she naturally possessed the aura of a royal sister. That pillow smothering left a deep impression in the depths of the Emperor’s heart.

Yujin had already been dismissed.

The Emperor steadied his nerves, sat up straight, and sharply commanded, "Wan Quan! Come in here at once!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Wan hurried in.

"What happened to your face?" The Emperor looked curiously at Wan Quan, who had a bruised and swollen face.

Eunuch Wan lowered his head and said, "It was a fall, a fall."

He was beaten by Yujin.

Wan Quan had entered during the time the Emperor was unconscious. He had looked over Princess Xinyang’s Adam’s apple, her hands, and that certain area, and then, upon leaving, Yujin had beaten him for being a pervert.

"Princess Xinyang admits to her fault; please, Your Majesty, impose your punishment," Princess Xinyang confessed her wrongdoing on her own.

"You’ve got quite some nerve!" The Emperor slapped his jade pillow, and his whole hand went numb...

"It’s up to Your Majesty to decide my fate."

Please, dismiss me from my regency duties immediately.

The Emperor said indignantly, "I haven’t decided how to punish you yet, just leave it for now!"

"Oh," Princess Xinyang responded with visible disappointment.

The Emperor: "..."
