Emperor Jin

Chapter 227 The Truth
The emperor was so shocked that his chest hurt so badly, he stared straight at Jin Yuan, only to see the latter showing a wry smile, and said: "When I saw you, I was always wearing a pearl mask. It was made for me—my mother's queen came from a side line of the Fang family, so I pretended to be the young lady of the Fang family, and it was logical. cover up."

She looked at the queen on the ground and said bitterly: "But I never thought that the Fang family father and daughter are secretly planning other things..."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall already understood most of it.

Emperor Jinyuan said coldly: "Five years ago, I was deeply in love with you. At that time, my plan was gradually being carried out. The armory in the inner warehouse continued to flow into your army. The momentum of your rebel army As the sun grows, people come and vote from far and near; and I gradually fade out in front of the courtiers——I built the Zichen Palace, and the court will be located on the high tower, so that the courtiers can no longer easily see the face. All this is for our new dynasty, our future."

The emperor was suddenly moved, and gritted his teeth: "You never said this to me, never!"

"That's because I don't want you to know about these undercurrent ghosts—these are all rotten things that have been deposited by the Yuan family for a hundred years. You should be as vigorous as the rising sun. This is the demeanor that a founding king should have!"

Jin Yuan's voice also gradually sank, "I have always hoped that one day, I could stand side by side with you on the tower of Shenwu Gate and receive the blessings and admiration from the hearts of all people - I would no longer have to pretend to be a murderer Not a resolute young emperor, but a young lady from the Fang family who was fostered outside since she was a child..."

Her voice came faintly, the voice was indifferent, but it made people inexplicably sore——

"And people will spread word of mouth: Although the lady of the Fang family is not well-known, but standing with the new emperor, she is really a couple of gods and gods. They are a perfect match-the legend of us will be left in the history books of later generations. Good story..."

She spoke eloquently, the sweetness of the past and the brokenness and embarrassment of today, all expressed in these few words. The morning breeze blew her long black hair, her eyebrows were backlit, and no one could see her expression clearly.

Everyone held their breath, only to hear her sigh inaudibly, and finally said: "But I didn't expect that everything I did for you would be used by someone with a heart to marry someone else..."

This sound was inaudible, but it was like the strings of a zither suddenly snapping, and the silver bottle bursting suddenly, the pain and sadness in it were beyond words.

The queen heard it from the sidelines, and said hoarsely: "It's a lie! Who can prove your nonsense, you just hate my husband and wife, and that's why you made up such ridiculous lies!"

As if her eyes had brightened, she grabbed some life-saving straw and hurriedly said: "What are you talking about about a pearl shell mask? It's ridiculous! That face is obviously from Fang's family, and I have been wearing it all the time. Even if I leave the court, it is my most cherished dowry My treasure—this is what Wanzai saw with his own eyes!"

The emperor nodded and said: "After the mask came with the dowry, it was treasured in her palace. Although it was rarely shown to others, I always saw it."

Jin Yuan glanced at the pair of emperors and empresses, and revealed an incomprehensible sneer——

"In this case, why don't you take out the mask on the spot, so that these people can open their eyes!"

The queen's face turned pale, but then she calmly said: "I thought the palace was in danger, so why would I carry this object with me? Those who saw it can prove it."

Jin Yuan smiled slightly, his brows were like melting ice and snow, but with a bright smile like a cat playing with a mouse——

"Wanzhi, you have always thought carefully about such a key treasure, even if you are fleeing, you will take it with you."

Her smile deepened, and she looked at Lin'er behind the queen, "Since I brought it, why don't you let your maid take it out for everyone to see?"

The queen's complexion turned pale immediately, she trembled her lips, anxious and angry, but she couldn't think about it, the people on the side were already dazzled, and they all wondered in their hearts: These two people are really weird, obviously one said no before, and the other said yes , but turned upside down all at once, what is going on? !
"It's in that little box... why are your hands trembling, why don't you open it?!"

Jin Yuan's sneer deepened, and under the rising sun it turned into an asura-like gloomyness. The emperor couldn't bear it any longer, and snatched the box from Lin'er, without locking it, and forcibly broke it open.

Sure enough, there was a beaded oyster mask in the box, shining brightly in the sunlight, and it was very eye-catching. When Bao Jin saw it at the side, he couldn't help exclaiming: "I borrowed this from my sister...!"

Jin Yuan looked back and took a deep look at her. There was love, concern, guilt, and other inexplicable meanings in the colorful and crystal-clear divine light. She slowly said to the emperor, "Ling Xuan, Take a closer look, is this what you saw in her palace?"

The emperor's eyes stayed on the lower jaw of the mask - it was not pearly, but inlaid with gold, which made up for the flaws, he frowned and said: "The smoothness I saw before is like a mirror, and there is no gold to make up for the flaws at all! "

"That's because the one you saw earlier was the one my father forged for her, and the one I wore to meet you was the other one."

Jin Yuan spoke softly, every single word, but he spit it out through gritted teeth, even the gap between his teeth was filled with chill——

"You probably have forgotten... on the day when the city collapsed and the palace collapsed, you rushed into the inner garden, and I sat on the throne, laughed and threw it, and a corner broke.

"Later, my subordinates got it and inlaid it with gold. Then, Bao Jin got it by chance. She was eager for revenge, so she wore it to kill several generals at night-unfortunately, they During the riots, I have seen you wearing this beaded oyster mask and running side by side with the emperor on the battlefield—you really took great pains to replace me perfectly!"

When the emperor and Bao Jin heard this, they suddenly realized why when the military generals in the capital were killed in succession, the deceased would hold his last breath and leave hints pointing to the queen—because of the mask, they all thought it was the queen who wanted to cut off the emperor. The party, however, also provoked the beginning of the rivalry between the emperor and the empress. It was such a coincidence, which is amazing.
