270 The Identity of the Princess

“You’re the princess? You even gave birth to two children for His Majesty and now you say you are His Majesty’s princess, aren’t you ashamed?” Song Yun shouted.

When the emperor heard Zhao Panpan’s voice, his face sank.

Before the emperor could say anything, the phoenix next to him lifted its wings and waved again. A fist-sized pile of snow smashed directly into Zhao Panpan’s face. With a bang, Zhao Panpan screamed in pain.

Jiang Xi thought, ‘I can reward you with a chicken leg.’

The imperial preceptor said, “Can’t you have some moral integrity as a phoenix! You’re not Jiang Xi’s hatchet man! You’re a divine bird that can fly a few rounds in the sky and maintain a sense of mystery!

The imperial preceptor could not be bothered to ridicule the phoenix anymore. He did not know if it was because the phoenix was not acclimatized to the climate, but he felt that it had changed into a different bird after coming here. The emperor looked deeply at Jiang Xi. At this time, the people were discussing Zhao Panpan’s claim that she was the princess.

“You’re deluding the public with lies. You actually said that you’re the emperor’s princess. Shameless!”

“A consort who has given birth to His Majesty’s child actually claims to be a princess. Is she trying to put on an improper love show? Or is she crazy?”

As the people below spoke, they threw rotten eggs at Zhao Panpan. This father-daughter pair was not something that ordinary people could tolerate!

Jiang Si watched from afar as Zhao Panpan was hung up. His eyes were filled with heartache. Now that he had been promoted, he was only waiting to meet the emperor. Lord Xiao looked at him from afar. Jiang Si nodded slightly, his eyes fierce. “I can be a witness! The Pure Consort was the princess who had been rescued from the palace back then. Back then, the people knelt down and the birds welcomed her. The princess was born with a city full of exotic fragrances! There was no crown prince at all. It was the empress who had deceived His Majesty and the world! The Pure Consort is the true treasure, the protector of our country!” Jiang Si stood out and said in a deep voice. His words were so shocking that there was a moment of silence, leaving only Jiang Si’s words echoing. “Our country’s fortune has fallen into the hands of the common people and we have been forced to be humiliated. Today, every single one of your actions will incur the wrath of the heavens!”

Jiang Si’s face was cold as he looked at Zhao Panpan and shouted with heartache, “I’ve brought the witnesses from when the palace maids were kidnapped. These can all prove that the one who was kidnapped was not the crown prince, but the princess! Our princess has suffered so much!”

Yang Fen stood beside Jiang Si with a proud look on her face. She did ot forget to say, “See, this is my son. My son!”

Among the witnesses brought by Jiang Si, there was actually a dumbfounded prison officer. ‘F*ck, the child in the swaddling clothes back then was not the crown prince but the little princess?’

Jiang Si said word by word, “This was a palace maid who worked in the empress’ palace. She was very young back then. She witnessed the birth of the princess in the empress’ palace as she hid under a table. This man was the night watchman who had witnessed the princess’ kidnapping and was now working in the prison. The last one is a witness of Happy Town!” The last old woman had white hair and seemed to be about to die soon. Her eyes were turbid and still had hot tears in them.

The emperor looked coldly at the righteous Jiang Si. The palace maid who was used as a witness was only about 20 years old. It could be seen that it was indeed because she was too young that she was not discovered under the table.

The palace maid knelt down, trembling. “Your Majesty, I’m guilty. I don’t dare to say it. I really don’t dare to say it! When the Empress was pregnant with the princess, the entire city was filled with a strange fragrance. Even the butterflies in the imperial garden would fly over on their own. The empress thought that it was a boy in her stomach and was very happy. Who knew that she would give birth to a princess in the end? That’s why she couldn’t think it through…” The palace maid was still a little shocked. After so many years, that scene still remained in her heart. That newborn baby was fair and opened her eyes the moment she was born. It was as if he had a Buddha’s light that illuminated the world, making people like her with one look.

The commoners below were in an uproar. Their eyes were wide open as they watched this melodramatic drama.

Jiang Si went over to rescue Zhao Panpan and put his clothes on her, “Princess, you’ve suffered.” He said in an extremely gentle voice, his eyes almost overflowing with tears. Zhao Panpan shivered in his arms. Jiang Xi also shivered. She finally knew what was wrong.
