After being pushed away by Xiao Feng several times, she shamelessly lunged at him again.
How could Lord Xu dare to look? He felt so humiliated that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in, and he even wished he could kill this useless woman. If it weren't for his inability to let go of his son's death and his desire to make Song Feiwan and the others pay the price, would they have dared to take such risks at the palace banquet?
Now, not only had he failed to avenge himself, but he had also implicated himself in this mess! Lord Xu's face swelled as he knelt heavily on the ground, anxiously explaining, "If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can ask His Highness the Prince of Su. He must have seen Rong Anning! Isn't that right, Your Highness?"
Xiao Feng's face turned pale as he slumped to the ground, his heavily powdered face already smeared. He looked nervously at Concubine Rong and the others, only to see Concubine Rong slowly smile and gently say, "Prince Su, since Lord Xu has asked, please recall carefully whether you saw my niece and what you did. Rest assured, if you are innocent, I will not make things difficult for you."
Xiao Feng sensed the warning in her words and trembled heavily. His mind, dulled by wine and beauty, had never turned so quickly before. Initially, he had indeed seen Rong Anning, but before he could do anything, he was knocked unconscious, and Rong Anning had vanished without a trace. In her place was Madam Xu.
She had thrown herself at him as soon as she saw him; he had already pushed her away! But she was relentless. Seeing that there was no one else around, he foolishly wanted to know what it felt like to be with an older woman.
Oh, how he regretted it now! With his affair with Madam Xu exposed and the evidence irrefutable, neither the Emperor nor the Crown Prince's faction would let him off easily. What good could come from offending Concubine Rong's faction? It would only lead him to a dead end!
Moreover, mere words were not enough; the Rong family surely had backup plans to overturn his testimony. In that case, it would be better to sell out the Rong family!
Having thought this through, Xiao Feng cautiously said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, I have never seen Miss Rong. In this side hall, it has always been Madam Xu." As he spoke, he even began to cry. "I was truly schemed against by this vile woman; please see clearly, Your Majesty!"
Lord Xu roared back, "Shut up! That's not what you said!"
Seeing that things were spiraling out of control, the Empress furrowed her brow deeply and knelt beside the Emperor.
The Emperor's anger flared; there must be other hidden truths behind this matter. "My sister-in-law has always been honest; how could she do such a thing?"
"Enough!" The Emperor interrupted her angrily. "The truth is right in front of you; are you still trying to argue?" Who knows if she is truly a woman of loose morals!
The Empress's face turned pale, her eyes filled with terror, and she dared not breathe a word.
Suddenly, a throng of people entered, kneeling before the Emperor in a flurry.
The Emperor felt a headache coming on; he had no desire to listen to their nonsense any longer. With a cold voice, he commanded, "Drag this audacious woman, who has sullied the palace, out of here! Beat her to death with sticks!"
"Xiao Feng, you have indulged in the lavish life of the imperial city long enough. Now go guard the royal tombs! Repent before the graves of your ancestors! Without my permission, you shall never leave the royal tombs for the rest of your life!"
"All male members of the Xu family are dismissed from their positions; everyone is under house arrest. Do not let me see you again!"
"Empress, your lack of discipline has led to such chaos in the palace. You are also under house arrest for three months and will receive half your salary as punishment! If this happens again, I will find someone else to take your place as Empress!"
Having grown accustomed to a life of indulgence, Xiao Feng was so shocked by the Emperor's words that she fainted on the spot.
Minister Xu completely lost his composure; he wanted to plead with the Emperor for leniency but was kicked down by Xiao Yan, causing him immense pain and leaving him unable to utter a single word.
