So truths are truly clear at a glance.
An Ning sneered coldly.
She lifted her eyes with a provocative gaze at Bai Mowan.
From beginning to end, she never doubted An Luming; An Luming could never lie.
Only Xiao Yanqi.
Bai Mowan naturally noticed An Ning’s gaze, her face turning extrely cold.
She shifted her eyes to look at Xiao Yanqi.
Xiao Yanqi t his mother’s gaze and shivered with fear.
He hadn’t expected them to co up with such a way to find out whether he was lying.
Xiao Yanqi dared not look at Bai Mowan more, lowering his head, clearly at a loss.
At this mont, Xiao Jinxing also stepped down from the Dragon Throne.
He first picked up An Luming’s Xuan paper, the more he read what was written on it, the darker his expression beca.
Bai Mowan’s heart was also uneasy.
Not knowing what An Luming had written.
At this mont, she dared not make any reckless moves.
Xiao Jinxing picked up the paper from An Luming’s palace attendant and made a comparison.
"Bai Mowan, look at this yourself!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly shouted harshly.
Bai Mowan was startled.
She gritted her teeth, trying to keep calm.
She took the writing of An Luming and her palace attendant, so expressions were different, but the anings were entirely consistent.
Bai Mowan quickly scanned it and hastily said, "Your Majesty, the words written by An Luming and the palace attendant were all things An Luming just loudly spoke inside and outside the hall. Any clever palace attendant would know how to write..."
"Look at it clearly, take a good look!" Xiao Jinxing angrily demanded, showing no rcy towards Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan gritted her teeth and looked down seriously again.
Seeing both An Luming and the palace attendant wrote about how Xiao Yanqi called An Luming a bastard and called An Ning... a whore!
Bai Mowan’s face turned green.
Who gave Xiao Yanqi such nerve, or rather, how foolish Xiao Yanqi must be to publicly say things that even she dared not speak!
All the years she spent raising Xiao Yanqi, all for nothing?!
Raising such a worthless thing!
Bai Mowan’s uncontrollable anger made her look utterly insane.
She put down the Xuan paper.
Her eyes hardened, coldly staring at Xiao Yanqi.
Xiao Yanqi felt Bai Mowan’s gaze and was terrified.
He watched in horror as his mother approached him.
"Slap!" A slap landed heavily on Xiao Yanqi’s face.
Bai Mowan’s strength was imnse.
The already unfortunate face of Xiao Yanqi beca even more unsightly with that slap.
In that mont, Xiao Yanqi cried out loudly in pain before everyone.
Completely disregarding his status as prince, utterly embarrassed!
An Ning watched coldly from the side.
Watching Xiao Yanqi howl like a ghost, rembering how arrogant he was in front of An Luming just now...
One slap was not enough to quench the hatred.
An Ning was about to speak.
When Xiao Yanqi suddenly shouted at Bai Mowan, "How dare you hit ! I am the prince, I am the son of the Emperor, you are just a concubine, what right do you have to hit !"
Bai Mowan was taken aback.
She never expected that Xiao Yanqi would dare challenge her one day?!
Even if Xiao Yanqi was useless, at least he used to obey her every command.
Now he dared say such audacious words!
"Even if I did sothing wrong, only Father can punish ..." Xiao Yanqi cried and shouted.
At this mont he was reckless beyond asure.
No matter that he did sothing wrong, he thought, as the prince, his father would never truly punish him!
The palace attendants and the officials who flattered him had told him, his father had few heirs and treasured his children greatly.
Since his father valued him so much, what did a small mistake matter.
That his mother hit him so hard, he found it unfair!
Bai Mowan was trembling with anger.
This is the Xiao Yanqi she raised for four whole years.
Indeed, soone else’s child, even if her own brother’s child, could never truly belong to her!
Her eyes tightened.
She naturally wouldn’t let Xiao Yanqi ruin her.
Xiao Yanqi’s foolishness was his own to bear, she could not be implicated.
Bai Mowan suddenly knelt before the Emperor and exclaid, "Your Majesty, it is I who failed to teach properly, leading Xiao Yanqi to beco what he has, I am willing to accept all punishnt, but before that, Xiao Yanqi has committed the grave sin of disrespect, not only insulting the Empress and the prince, but also deceiving the Emperor, and even in the Emperor’s presence, such lack of decorum, is simply heinous! I plead with Your Majesty, to abolish Xiao Yanqi, expel him from the Imperial Palace, henceforth, never again shall there be Xiao Yanqi as prince in the palace, only An Luming remains!"
Xiao Jinxing listened to Bai Mowan’s passionate words, without a trace of leniency on his face.
Thinking that Xiao Yanqi dared to insult An Ning and An Luming so...
Expelling him from the Imperial Palace would be too lenient on Xiao Yanqi.
Of course, Xiao Yanqi was after all four years old, the true one to pay the price should be Bai Mowan.
"How dare you ask Father to abolish , how dare you ask Father to expel from the palace!" Xiao Yanqi scread, completely losing his composure, unable to believe his mother would request his father to have him expelled, "I am Father’s only son, An Luming is not, An Luming is just a bastard brought back by that woman, why should I be the one driven away..."
"Enough, Xiao Yanqi!" Bai Mowan shouted angrily at Xiao Yanqi, "The real bastard is you, not An Luming!"
Xiao Yanqi was startled by Bai Mowan’s fierce words.
He looked at his mother with fear.
"You are not the Emperor’s son, nor mine!" Bai Mowan laid everything bare.
Xiao Yanqi was not worth any of her pity anymore.
"You lie!" Xiao Yanqi shouted excitedly, "You lie, I am the Emperor’s son, I am the Emperor’s only son, An Luming is not..."
"You are Bai Moyi’s, your so-called uncle’s son!" Bai Mowan revealed the truth.
Xiao Yanqi’s face was filled with terror.
How could it be?!
How could he not be the Emperor’s son?
If he weren’t, why did everyone treat him with such reverence.
"I couldn’t conceive, so I took my brother’s child, you, into the palace as my own. I intended to educate you well to succeed, yet you took advantage of power to beco so arrogant and unruly, I now deeply regret!" Bai Mowan stated plainly.
Without any regard for Xiao Yanqi’s feelings.
Xiao Yanqi was only four years old.
Many blows, he simply couldn’t bear.
He now seed like an idiot, staring tightly at Bai Mowan.
"From today on, you are no longer my son, and certainly not the Emperor’s prince!" Bai Mowan declared with finality.
Cold-hearted to the extre!
