Chapter 271: Auspicious Boy-girl Twins!

Supervisor Sun was already drenched in cold sweat. He trembled and didn’t know what to say. “Your Majesty, I did see a star with great influence next to the Emperor Star. I did not lie.” At this time, he could only insist that what he saw was right. He absolutely could not admit to the crime of framing a princess of the royal family!

Baili Junyi looked coldly at Supervisor Sun. “Father Emperor, logically speaking, Lord Sun has been working in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory for so many years. He shouldn’t make a misjudgment.”

Supervisor Sun suddenly raised his head. He really didn’t understand why Baili Junyi would speak up for him. The Empress, the Crown Prince and others were also confused. They all looked at Baili Junyi and waited for him to continue.

Baili Junyi smiled coldly. “There is this star, but this star is not Ninghua. Then who is it?”

Zhao Huiying’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Baili Junyi with anger and hatred. He was trying to direct the trouble to others!

“Father Emperor, you heard Supervisor Sun say that this star is a member of the royal family, and it is next to the Emperor Star. His words are really worth careful thinking.”

Baili Junyi did not say more, but Baili Qingcang became attentive. The one who was able to influence him and was by his side…Empress Zhao Huiying!

Thinking of this, he could not help but look at the Empress. His gaze was deep as he sized her up and pondered. The Empress’ maternal family, the Zhao Family, was getting more and more powerful. The Empress was dominant in the harem. She also gave birth to his eldest son, the Crown Prince. If something happened to him and the Crown Prince succeeded the throne, the Empress would immediately become the most respected person in Da’an, and the Zhao Family would also take advantage of this opportunity to rise up in fame. At that time, with the Empress’ vicious personality, how could the other princes and princesses survive?

Thinking of this, Baili Qingcang suddenly thought of something. The Empress had always been hostile to Shen Ninghua. Then, had Liaochen said those words under the Empress’ instructions? Shen Ninghua gave birth to the auspicious boy-girl twins, so she must be auspicious to the royal family. On the other hand, the Empress called the auspicious person a scourge…There was no doubt that the Empress was the one with the real evil intention.

So, the truth was just like what Bu Yunqing said when Liaochen was exposed: the heavens gave warning signals not because Ninghua harmed the royal family, but to warn him that someone wanted to harm Ninghua!

Thinking in this way, everything made sense now. Previously, the thunder that hit Zhichun Palace was a warning that Liaochen made a false charge against Shen Ninghua. Now the thunder striking down Ningkun Palace was a warning to him that the Empress was destroying Da’an!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Baili Qingcang looked at Zhao Huiying, almost wishing to dethrone her with his eyes.

How could Da’an prosper with such an Empress?

When Zhao Huiying met Baili Qingcang’s gaze, she was instantly frightened. If the Emperor had made up his mind to dethrone her, then the Crown Prince and the Zhao Family would truly be in danger.

“Your Majesty, I am also very happy that Ninghua can give birth to the boy-girl twins…”

“Empress,” Baili Qingcang directly interrupted her, “I will reward Ninghua. Now, let’s listen to Supervisor Sun’s explanation.”

Zhao Huiying’s face turned pale. The fingers on her side kept shaking. Her heart was beating fast and her gaze fell on Supervisor Sun, who was wiping sweat. A decisive look flashed across her eyes. “Yes, we should listen to Supervisor Sun’s explanation. Just as Prefectural Prince Yi said, Supervisor Sun has done his job for many years and is noted for being upright and impartial. I don’t think he will say anything he shouldn’t say.”

Understanding the threat in the Empress’ words, Supervisor Sun’s heart suddenly trembled. His eyes flashed with a strong sense of unwillingness. How regretful he was now! He should not have listened to his silly wife’s idea in the first place and accepted the money that the Zhao Family had sent. Money was tempting, but it could also cost his life!

Now the evidence was in the hands of the Empress. Once it was revealed, the good reputation that he had enjoyed for half his life and his family and children would all be over. Then there was only one option for him at the moment. Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and looked up at Baili Qingcang resolutely. “Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I am willing to die to prove my innocence!”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly got up and charged towards the artificial hill beside him.

Baili Junyi’s eyes suddenly flashed. He raised his foot and kicked a stone to hit Supervisor Sun in the back of the knee.

Supervisor Sun felt his knee going soft and he fell to the ground. His nose and mouth touched the ground and blood instantly flowed out. He opened his mouth and spat out two white teeth.

Baili Junyi stepped forward and stepped on his back. He asked coldly, “Supervisor Sun, do you want to prove your innocence with death, or do you want to use your death to slander Ninghua?”

“I dare not slander Princess Zhaohua.”

“Father Emperor, it’s better to take him down and interrogate him properly. It’s best to search his house. I think we can still find something there.”

Baili Qingcang was now full of doubts about Zhao Huiying, and he hated Supervisor Sun to the extreme. If it wasn’t for the fact that he still wanted to find out the person behind the scenes, he would directly slash him with his sword.

“Sun Qing misbehaved in front of the Emperor and shall be sent to the Heavenly Prison. The Dragon Scale Army shall go to the Sun Mansion to confiscate all his assets. In addition, Ningkun Palace was destroyed and the Empress shall temporarily stay in Bailu Palace. The main palace maid, Meixue, and the other nurses failed to do their job and shall be detained. The Internal Affairs Department shall select new palace maids for Bailu Palace.”

“Yes, we will follow Your Majesty’s orders.”

Baili Qingcang turned around. “Noble Consort Xian, come with me to see the two babies in Junyi’s mansion.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Bu Yunqing glanced at the Empress, whose face was as pale as snow, and laughed in her heart. She really didn’t expect that the Empress would also have such a day. Back then, all the concubines in the harem had to act according to her order. But who would have expected the Empress to end up like this!

After the Dragon Scale Army took Meixue away, Zhao Huiying leaned back on the chair, feeling exhausted. She clenched her fists tightly. The wound on her arm was bleeding, and blood dripped from her arm onto the ground.

The Crown Prince half-knelt on the ground with an expressionless face. He tore his inner clothes into pieces and helped Zhao Huiying bandage the wounds. “Mother, it’s just a loss. It doesn’t matter.”

Zhao Huiying shook her head in a daze. “No, I can feel it. Your Father Emperor already has doubts about me. It will be difficult to make use of him to do anything.”

“Mother Empress, the plan this time is too risky.”

A fierce look flashed through Zhao Huiying’s eyes, and she suddenly turned to look at Baili Jinyi. “You think I planned this?” After experiencing the matter of Zhichun Palace being struck by lightning, however eager she was to kill Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi, she would not risk her own palace.

“You didn’t do it?” The Crown Prince was surprised.

“Of course not. Ningkun Palace is the Empress’ residence and the center of the harem. How can I destroy it? I don’t know how the lightning landed here so coincidentally and destroyed half of the palace.”

“What about Supervisor Sun?”

“I had intended to make use of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to help cement Liaochen’s charge of Shen Ninghua. But before the preparations were complete, Ningkun Palace was struck by lightning. I could only call him over to take a gamble. I didn’t expect that I lost so thoroughly this time.” Zhao Huiying closed her eyes tiredly and tightly frowned.

The Crown Prince sighed. “The Imperial Astronomical Observatory’s work is related to the fate of the country. Therefore, its supervisor must be absolutely loyal to the Emperor. How could Father Emperor not be angry when he found he was betrayed by Supervisor Sun?” As the Crown Prince of a country, he naturally understood the feeling of being deceived and stepped on top of his head. If it was him, he would also be furious and would even directly kill the supervisor.

Zhao Huiying opened her eyes and said to the Crown Prince, “I need to think quietly during this period of time. You also stay obediently in your palace. The more you do, the more mistakes you make. Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua are currently at the height of their power and splendors, so let them be proud for some time.”

“Yes, Mother Empress. Don’t worry. I understand.”

In Prefectural Prince Yi Mansion, Hong Ling carefully walked into Shen Ninghua’s room. Seeing that she was still asleep, she carefully pulled Bai Ruo’s sleeve. “Sister Bai Ruo, Master has come with His Majesty and Noble Consort Xian.”

Bai Ruo was shocked. Seeing Shen Ninghua sleeping soundly, she thought for a moment and did not wake her up. She turned around and walked out. “Did they come in the imperial carriages?”

“No, they were all in plain clothes.”

“Then there’s no need to wake up Miss. Don’t make a fuss. Just do what you need to do.”

“Alright.”

When Baili Qingcang entered the mansion and saw the elegant flowers blooming, his tired mind relaxed. “Haha, Junyi, the things in your mansion are quite elegant.”

“Doctor Chen said that seeing beautiful scenery is good for the babies, so I ordered the gardeners to make these. Ninghua does not go out often. She usually sits in the small pavilion beside and watches the flowers.”

Baili Qingcang nodded. “Ninghua is like her mother.”

Previously, he almost believed Liaochen’s words. However, after thinking about it carefully, Jingyan was killed by the Empress and Zhao Yunxiang. Shen Dong was secretly executed by him. What did it have to do with Ninghua? As for him and Bu Yunqing, not to mention the fact that they were not related by blood to Ninghua, even if Ninghua’s fate was really too vicious, couldn’t his aura of an Emperor suppress it?

There was no one in the world who was more fortunate than him, right? Thinking of this, Baili Qingcang thoroughly detested Liaochen and Zhao Huiying. He thought to himself that when he went back, he would deal with Liaochen first before slowly settling accounts with the Empress!

When they arrived at the room, Baili Junyi asked the two of them to sit, whereas he personally went to the room next door to carry the two babies out. “Father Emperor, Mother, Ninghua is too tired. She is still unconscious…”

“Did you invite Doctor Chen to take a look? Is she alright?” Hearing that Shen Ninghua was still unconscious, Baili Qingcang asked with concern.

“Doctor Chen has checked her pulse. She is fine.”

“That’s good.” Baili Qingcang looked at the two babies in their swaddling clothes with a loving smile in his eyes. “These two kids are sleeping soundly. They have no qualms about their mother at all.”

Baili Junyi smiled. “The one in the blue swaddling clothes is the elder brother. The one in the red swaddling clothes is the younger sister. I haven’t even given them a name yet. Father Emperor, could you kindly grant names to them?”

Hearing this, Baili Qingcang immediately laughed happily. “Alright, alright, I will definitely think of two good names for them.”
