Everyone’s eyes turned to Xuanyuan Ye, who was still slowly sipping his tea as if there was no one around, and they were all stunned.

This lord actually…?

Based on his personality, he wouldn’t care even if the sky collapsed. Why would he care about such things today?

It was truly shocking.

Meng Ruxue’s beautiful face instantly changed a few times…

Meng Yuntian was also stunned. Seventh Prince? For Fu’er? He and Fu’er…?

The emperor’s eyebrows also subconsciously rose. This brat normally didn’t even bother to listen to his words, and didn’t even do the things he ordered. Yet today, he suddenly became so enthusiastic.

Meng Fuying was also somewhat surprised. Although she did not have much of an understanding of this lord in her memories, she knew that he was not someone who liked to meddle in other people’s business when she saw his usual cold indifference. She had indeed not expected him to help her.

It had to be said that his appearance at this moment had indeed solved her problem. He had absolute authority and did not allow anyone to suspect anything.

She looked at him slightly, but he was still sipping his tea as if he was not the one who had spoken.

She couldn’t even throw him a grateful look.

Bai Yichen’s hands, which were hidden under his clothes, tightened slightly. His eyes darkened slightly, and there was a hint of surprise and nervousness.

Feng Lingyun tightened his grip on Feng Yulan. He prayed in his heart that Lan’er was not the one who bought the knife. Otherwise, Lan’er would probably…

However, when he felt Feng Yulan’s stiff and trembling body, he knew that his last bit of hope had probably been dashed.

She couldn’t help but marvel at how efficient Xuanyuan Ye’s subordinate was.

In just a short while, he had already brought the person over.

Li Yu entered the hall and was stunned to see such a huge scene. However, it was obvious that he was someone who had much exposure before. He quickly calmed down and followed Su Feng to the emperor.

“This commoner, Li Yu, pays his respects to Your Majesty.” He bowed respectfully, cautiously, and appropriately.

“Do you recognize this knife?” The emperor asked someone to bring the exquisite knife to him.

Li Yu’s brows furrowed slightly, clearly surprised. He glanced at Feng Yulan, who was in Feng Lingyun’s arms, and seemed to have guessed something.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, this blade was forged by my father. 20 years ago, my father was fortunate enough to obtain a piece of thousand-year meteoric iron. After 20 years, he forged two such blades.” Li Yu retracted his gaze and slowly replied.

“If that’s the case, then this blade really came from your family’s shop. Do you remember who this blade was sold to?” The emperor’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an innate dignity, not allowing anyone to lie in front of him.

“Five days ago, Miss Feng bought one, and the other one is still in this commoner’s shop.” Li Yu’s body slightly paused, and then he replied in a low voice. Even though he guessed that Miss Feng might have caused some trouble because of this blade, in front of the emperor, he definitely didn’t dare to hide it.

The moment he said that, there was a commotion in the hall. Everyone looked at Feng Yulan.

The truth was revealed. It turned out that Miss Feng had hurt her own face to frame Miss Meng.

“He… he’s lying. He’s lying.” Feng Yulan’s stiff body trembled uncontrollably once again. There was clear fear in her eyes, but she still struggled for the last time.

It wasn’t like this. It shouldn’t be like this. It couldn’t be.

However, there was despair in her voice.

Anger flashed across Li Yu’s face. How could Miss Feng frame him for lying to the emperor? That was a capital offense. He hurriedly said, “I’m telling the truth. Please investigate.”

The emperor’s eyes suddenly darkened as he looked coldly at Feng Yulan.

At this point, she still dared to hide it.

Feng Lingyun’s body could not help but tremble slightly. He held Feng Yulan tightly and signaled her to stop shouting because he knew that it was useless to say anything else now.

He was afraid that the more she made a fuss, the angrier the emperor would be and the worse the consequences would be.

“Feng Yulan conspired to frame Meng Fuying and even tried to deceive us with Feng Lingyun. This crime is unforgivable.” The emperor’s voice hid traces of anger. He was the emperor. How could the high and mighty emperor tolerate the deception of others?

“Seal all of the Feng Family’s assets, remove all of Feng Lingyun’s duties, and send Feng Yulan to the border, never to return to the capital.” The ice-cold voice made everyone in the hall become stunned. Today, the emperor was clearly angry.

This was imperial power. Even if his Feng Family was one of the four great clans, even if they used to have endless glory, a single sentence from the emperor could make everything disappear in an instant.

However, the emperor was still considerably merciful. Feng Lingyun and Feng Yulan had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. It would not be overboard even if their entire family were to be executed.

Feng Yulan’s body instantly went limp, and her eyes were filled with complete despair. If she was sent to the borders and never returned to the capital, she might as well be executed.

Meng Ruxue’s body couldn’t help but tremble, and she subconsciously shrank back. She clenched her fists tightly as her heart slowly became wet with sweat.

“This subject, accepts my punishment and thanks you for your kindness.” Feng Lingyun also knew that the emperor had already shown exceptional kindness this time, so he didn’t dare to force anything anymore. However, his heart ached for Lan’er. Lan’er was so weak, if she went to the border, could she still live?

He looked at Meng Ruxue and his eyes suddenly darkened. This time, it was definitely Meng Ruxue’s idea. She had completely destroyed Lan’er. Why was Lan’er suffering like this while she was safe and sound?

He tightened his grip. He would not let that woman off so easily.

“Little Ying, do you have any other objections?” The emperor’s eyes turned towards Meng Fuying. The coldness in them was gone, replaced by a trace of warmth as he softly asked.

Everyone was once again stunned. The emperor actually asked a lass if she had any objections?

When would the emperor ask if others were satisfied with his decision? Today?

“Your Majesty is wise. Ying’er thanks you for your kindness.” Meng Fuying bowed slightly and replied respectfully. She naturally knew that if it was just Feng Yulan framing, she would definitely not have been punished so severely. The crime of deceiving the emperor was the most serious.

How could she dare to object?

Perhaps if she spoke now, she could change Feng Yulan’s fate. However, that woman harmed her time and time again. It was not worth it.

This time, Feng Yulan and Feng Lingyun were too smart for their own good. Not only did they fail to harm others, they even harmed themselves.

Feng Lingyun’s eyes faintly flashed, and then he secretly looked at Bai Yichen, using his eyes to earnestly request him to save Lan’er. Since the emperor was currently seeking Meng Fuying’s opinion, it meant that if Meng Fuying spoke, she should be able to save Lan’er. And only Bai Yichen could make Meng Fuying change her mind..
