Chapter 184 Emergency Court Session VII
Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\
The ministers were bewildered by Zheng Liang's statement and looked at the Empress with a complicated gaze. They were not sure who was in the wrong. However, seeing the way Zheng Liang was publicly confronting the Empress, it must not be a small matter. What crime did she commit to be humiliated like this in front of everyone?
Considering how Zheng Liang asked the female guards to drag her to the royal court and arranged this emergency royal court session, it must be serious. Otherwise, as the Crown Prince and the temporary Sovereign of the Empire, Zheng Liang would never embarrass the Empress of the Empire in front of outsiders. Zheng Liang's indifferent words changed the impression of the Empress in front of everyone's eyes and they could not help but wonder in what way the Empress is related to the case of Treason. While everyone was dying out of curiosity to know the truth, Yang Lingxin felt her whole world collapsing in front of her. The ministers who were looking at her with a sympathetic gaze a moment ago were scrutinizing her and wanted to know the truth. Her hands trembled in nervousness as she gathered all of her courage and confronted Zheng Liang, "Tr...Treason? Zheng Liang, what are you trying to imply here?"
"Lady Yang Lingxin, I do not have the time nor patience to argue with you any longer. As you can see, I have so many important matters to deal with as well." He said while addressing her with her name and not the title of the Empress. Everyone was shocked when Zheng Liang called the Empress using her name and not the title. What is the meaning of this? They wondered and could feel the gloomy atmosphere of the royal court. Zheng Liang looked at the ministers and started, "Didn't you all want to know who was the person who betrayed His Majesty and tried to poison him? The traitor is in front of you all."
"The person who was poisoning His Majesty all this time was none other than Empress Yang Lingxin." He stated. The ministers were in panic and were shocked by the sudden announcement. They weren't expecting the truth to be so bitter and shocking. So the Empress was not related to the person who raised treason but was the traitor herself?
But why? What was the need for her to try to kill His Majesty? If she tries to kill His Majesty, wouldn't it affect her power and position in the palace instead? Why would she do it then? Everyone wondered. The situation didn't make any sense. Why would she attempt to kill her husband when she has all the power in her hands?
"Zheng Liang! How dare you? Do you not fear God for lying and accusing an innocent for poisoning her husband? Why would I poison my husband when I have all the happiness and power in my hands? It doesn't make sense at all." Yang Lingxin shouted and tried to plead innocence while tears rolled down her cheeks. She cannot believe that he found out the truth. However, she will never accept it. As long as she doesn't accept it, he can do nothing about her. Because there is no way that he could prove that it was her who was poisoning His Majesty all along. Zheng Liang scoffed at Yang Lingxin's confidence and did not bother to argue with her anymore. He signaled his personal guard Gu Lan, who bowed to him and left the royal court to go outside. Everyone was curious as to what was going to happen next. However, after a few moments, the gate of the Main Palace was pushed open again and Gu Lan returned while grabbing the collars of the two men with each of his hands. The ministers were confused about what was happening, however, Yang Liangxin and Yang Luoyang's eyes widened in horror. This cannot be happening!
