Chapter 271 - 271 The Shape of a Green Tea Leaf
271 The Shape of a Green Tea Leaf
The way Jiang Si looked at Zhao Panpan was not that simple. It seemed like he was deeply in love he was with her. He probably already had feelings for her when he first saw her in Happy Town. The two of them probably had a lot of interactions in private.
The palace maid’s words shocked the people. When the child in the empress’s stomach was born, a strange phenomenon appeared and shocked the people in the city. The child was even predicted by the imperial preceptor that this child would be the fortune of their country, the protective talisman of their country. In the end, this protective talisman was thrown out of the palace and replaced by a fake? The crown prince had not made any achievements for so many years, but the heavens did not show anything strange. Was this reasonable?
“Imperial Preceptor, is this true?” The commoners below were too shocked. They felt like they had been f*cked, especially when they saw Zhao Panpan’s naked appearance. They felt even more stifled in their hearts and felt that the truth should not be like this.
The imperial preceptor nodded. “At the beginning, I only calculated that the child in the empress’ stomach was a blessing for the country and would lead the country to glory. I never thought that the child was a girl.” The imperial preceptor sighed. He had made a mistake and was punished by heaven. He was reprimanded and his body was weak. No matter what, it was his mistake. At that time, there was a problem with the Western Temple. When he rushed back, the princess had already been kidnapped out of the palace. If he had read the child’s face once, there would not have been so many problems.
Jiang Si winked at the officer, who blinked and said, “I only saw a fair and tender child back then. She would smile at me the moment I saw her. She didn’t look like a newborn at all. She was very beautiful, just like the girl under the Goddess of Mercy. Oh, right, she also had a flower-like birthmark on her right arm.” The officer paused, as if he had something to say.
Zhao Panpan slowly stretched out her right arm. On her blood-covered right arm, there was a birthmark in the shape of a tea leaf.
“It’s not a flower, it’s green tea leaf. This is the shape of green tea leaf!” Jiang Si glanced at Zhao Panpan and saw her covered in blood. His heart ached.
Yang Fen’s smiling face suddenly froze. She raised her head and stared at Zhao Panpan as if she was trying to figure out something.
The emperor looked at Jiang Si calmly, as if he could see Lord Xiao’s face through Jiang Si.
The officer was stunned. Green tea leaf? That was not right. He remembered that it looked like a flower, and it also…
At this moment, the old lady from Happy Town trembled and knelt down with a plop. “Princess, Princess, please spare me. I was wrong, I was wrong!” She kowtowed as she spoke. I have been serving Xiao Meili all this time. It was I who switched you with the crown prince. It was also I who… The old woman’s mouth moved, as if she did not dare to say anything.
Jiang Si did not think so much. He knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor, “I beg Your Majesty to let the princess return to the throne. The princess has been wronged and our country has let her down! Jiang SI’s eyes were full of ambition.
“I beg the princess to return to the throne!” Lord Xiao suddenly walked out from the crowd, dressed in official robes, leading the officials. The officials were still walking in the snow, their heads almost exploding! If Zhao Panpan was a princess, then the emperor and her… The emperor’s virtue was lacking!
The admonisher’s face was even more sullen as she looked deeply at the emperor. Among the civil and military officials, the admonisher was well-known for not being afraid of death. There was once an admonisher who had killed herself on a pillar in the throne room in order to force the late emperor to give birth to twin princes and to force the late emperor to drown the younger prince.
“Your Majesty’s virtue is lacking. You’ve ignored human ethics and family ties to do such a beastly thing to the little princess. Although you were deceived by the empress, Your Majesty’s virtue is lacking. Please abdicate your throne!” Lord Xiao turned around and spoke to the people with a sense of justice.
“Your Majesty, I shall risk my life to ask for your abdication!” The admonisher closed his eyes. As soon as the admonisher appeared, all the officials frowned. It seemed that the matter of the emperor’s abdication was set in stone.
The officials hesitated, and the witness from Happy Town, the old lady, also had an ugly expression.
The emperor looked at Lord Xiao and sneered, “Lord Xiao, you’ve finally revealed your true colors? Should I call you Xiao Shen or Xiao Nan? A loser in the fight for the throne of the Northern Border.”
Xiao Shen’s face turned cold.
