Chapter 18 [18] Shura Field
Emperor Jing: "..."

Queen: "..."

All the civil and military officials looked at each other in bewilderment, wishing they could disappear on the spot. They were too scared of such a scene, it was simply a Shura field. If they were not careful, they would be cannon fodder if they said the wrong thing.

Upon seeing this, Madam Feng immediately wailed as if her own daughter had died: "Your Majesty, Empress, I beg you to make the decision for me."

"The third lady of my mansion, Feng Lingyan, has just been carried back from the mass grave. There are witnesses who prove that the person who dumped the body was someone from Prince Chen's mansion."

"Even if I have to sacrifice my life today, I will definitely seek justice for my niece."

"What's more, Yanyan is engaged to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that something like this has happened, isn't this a slap in the face of the Emperor, the Empress, and our entire General's Mansion?"

In order to make the scene more realistic, Madam Feng had to wipe the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief smeared with chili powder, and her tears really rolled down in big drops.

This made the people watching the fun and the ministers feel that Madam Feng truly loved Feng Lingyan.

"Your Majesty, Madam Feng is right. Feng Lingyan and Xuan'er are engaged. She is the future Crown Princess!"

"It's so unfair to Xuan Er now that there's such a scandal."

The Queen took advantage of every opportunity to add insult to injury. This time she was determined to make sure Gong Yanchen could not turn over. Even if he had a lot of tricks, he would not be able to defend himself clearly in front of so many people and with Feng Lingyan's body as evidence.

Feng Xun also knelt down quickly and spoke for his wife: "I second the motion! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness Prince Chen did today was too absurd. How could he act like this?"

"He is a member of the royal family. His every word and action represents the face of the royal family."

"Even if Yanyan's parents are kings, as her great uncle, how can I watch her die and do nothing?"

"However, Yanyan lost her innocence and died suddenly. I ask Your Majesty to dissolve the engagement between Feng Lingyan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Feng Xun only understood Madam Feng's intentions at this moment, and his heart was full of approval. Madam's move was very quick. In front of everyone, she made Feng Lingyan and the Crown Prince cancel their engagement and also ruined Feng Lingyan's reputation.

"Gong Yanchen! Now that things have come to this, do you still want to deny it?" Emperor Jing was furious. Why was Gong Yanchen killing innocent people indiscriminately, but he was still so calm?
Gong Yanchen stood at the gate of the mansion. With the flutter of his sleeves, the straw mat covering the corpse fell away, revealing the bloody face of the corpse inside. He smiled wickedly, his eyes playful.

"Your Majesty, how can you be sure that this female corpse is Miss Feng San? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Gong Yanchen really wanted to slap Emperor Jing in the face. If he were to let such a tyrant who couldn't tell right from wrong sit on the throne, who knows how many loyal souls would die unjustly.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing's mind raced, and his expression became extremely ugly: "Lord Feng, you and your wife are certain that this body is Feng Lingyan. What evidence do you have?"

Emperor Jing's eyes became sinister, and he hated himself even more for being overwhelmed by the news. He rushed to settle the score with Gong Yanchen without checking the facts thoroughly.

Feng Xun was sweating profusely: "Madam???" His eyes were anxious and he only saw the benefits of this matter, but neglected these important details. Madam is confused, she is going to kill him.

Madam Feng's face was pale. At this point, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, Empress, please be advised. Someone saw Yanyan being kidnapped by the people from Prince Chen's Mansion. At dawn, the people from Prince Chen's Mansion wrapped her body in a straw mat and threw it into a mass grave outside the city." "You have to ask His Royal Highness Prince Chen what exactly happened."

Madam Feng was glad that Feng Lingxue was not involved in this matter. If such a situation had occurred, she was afraid that Xue'er would be disliked by the Queen.

"Shangguan Qingwan, who witnessed my people kidnapping Miss Feng San?" Gong Yanchen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Feng Lingyan, who was hiding in the crowd and watching the show with great interest. He waved his hand and her delicate body flew straight towards him.

The sudden change made everyone present open their eyes wide, and they looked at the veiled Feng Lingyan leisurely, with question marks written all over their faces.

Emperor Jing's face was gloomy, and he looked at Gong Yanchen: "Third brother, don't change the subject! Right now, the Feng Mansion is suing you for destroying Feng Lingyan's innocence and killing people to silence them."

"Not only did you not explain clearly, but you also had an unclear relationship with this woman of unknown origin. Are you really trying to piss me off to death?"

Emperor Jing was furious, but when he saw Feng Lingyan's eyes revealed under the veil, his heart skipped a beat. He secretly hated Feng Xun and his wife for harming him. This time he had lost completely.

"Baby, what do you say?" Gong Yanchen pursed his lips and chuckled, holding Feng Lingyan's slender waist with his big hands, and a smile gradually spread in his eyes.

"Your Highness Prince Chen, please respect yourself. Men and women should not touch each other." Feng Lingyan was extremely depressed. She had not expected that she was enjoying the show, but was dragged out in front of everyone by Gong Yanchen and became the one being watched.

"It doesn't matter! After all, you are the woman that this king likes, so naturally I will marry you and make you my principal wife. With this king here, what are you afraid of?"

Gong Yanchen just wanted to slap Emperor Jing and the Queen hard in the face, and slap Gong Yixuan in the face as well.

Feng Lingyan's cat-like pupils widened, and she slapped Gong Yanchen's hand away: "Your Highness, in other people's mouths, I'm already dead."

Feng Lingyan's eyes twitched fiercely. This feeling of being told that one was dead was not good at all. It was better to live a miserable life than to die.

"Idiot, let them open their eyes and see clearly that you are alive and well." Gong Yanchen stretched out his hand, pulled gently, and swept his phoenix eyes to the people around him, smiling playfully.

The next moment, the people watching saw Feng Lingyan's stunningly beautiful face appear before their eyes. They always felt that the Third Miss Feng was much more beautiful than before. Could it be that they were really blind before?

In fact, it’s not their fault at all. It’s because Feng Lingyan didn’t know how to dress up, and she had been tortured for so long that she couldn’t even maintain her basic life.

"Feng Lingyan! Are you still alive?" Madam Feng screamed out of control, then quickly reacted and ran towards Feng Lingyan with tears and snot.

"Yan Yan, it's really great that you're alive. Look at what happened. Your uncle and I thought you were murdered."

"Your uncle dragged his seriously injured body to file a complaint for you. I had no choice but to go to Prince Chen's Mansion to seek justice for you!"

"Yan Yan, you have such a good relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Chen. Can you please ask His Royal Highness Prince Chen to forgive us for being so reckless and almost ruining his reputation?"

Madam Feng's mind was working rapidly, she just wanted to get away as soon as possible. She had no choice but to apologize to Feng Lingyan and kept saying that they were doing this just to seek justice for Feng Lingyan.
