The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 330 Investigating Bai Zhaozhao’s Background

Taoist Tianji breathed a sigh of relief. Of course he had known about Bai Zhaozhao in advance, but in order to be more convincing today, he pretended not to know. Therefore, the matter of adoption had to be told by others. Now it happened that Bai Zhaozhao said it himself.

Emperor Yongkang nodded: "I know about this."

Taoist Tianji took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, isn't this a perfect match?"

Emperor Yongkang: "What are you up against?"

Taoist Tianji: "The county lady's dragon energy has nothing to do with the Bai family. It can only be related to herself. If she is not a demon woman who brings disaster to the country and the people, then she is someone related to the royal family!"

Everyone:! ! !

Today was truly an eye-opener and I was shocked several times.

Bai Zhaozhao also understood that this was the real purpose of Taoist Tianji. He knew that if he rashly accused her of being a witch, he might not be trusted, so he specifically mentioned her birthday. He wanted the emperor to check her background!

With the clue of the royal family, it is not difficult to find Tang Lei. It will only be a little slower than Wang Jinnian. By then, she will be the orphan of the rebel!

Of course, she can find a way to conceal her identity so that the Jinyiwei cannot find out. Then she would be a witch of unknown origin who might threaten the throne in the future!

No matter which possibility it is, this is an unsolvable situation!

Taoist Tianji is going to put her to death!

As expected, Emperor Yongkang was stunned: "Master, do you mean... that Showa may have royal blood?"

"That's right!" Taoist Tianji continued, "Since the county lady has merits and dragon energy, and was also rated as a blessed person by Zen Master Guiyuan, then this is the only explanation that makes sense!

Just now I said that she might bring disaster to the world because I thought she was from the Bai family. Since she is not, why don't you investigate the county lady's true background?"

Everyone: That makes sense! This is much better than the witch and the rebellion, and the possibility is greater!

Emperor Yongkang suddenly realized that this was indeed possible!

He said that Zen Master Guiyuan and Taoist Tianji were people he trusted very much, and he really didn't want anything to go wrong with either of them.

Wouldn’t it be perfect if Bai Zhaozhao was the daughter of a royal family who was left behind?

"Xiao Ce!"

"exist!"

"Investigate the background of Princess Showa thoroughly!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Yongkang felt slightly relieved, as he felt there was a high possibility that Bai Zhaozhao was a member of the royal family.

Everyone was about to agree, but they saw Bai Lin stand up at this time, successfully making everyone choke.

Bai Lin...is he going to fight back again?

"Your Majesty, I know Zhao Zhao's true background!"

Everyone:? ? ?

Bai Zhaozhao:!!!

Emperor Yongkang hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Bai Lin seemed to be a little hesitant, but he finally answered: "When the late emperor was still alive, he dealt with many... several powerful people because of literary inquisition, including the Duke of Wei. Does your majesty still remember him?"

Emperor Yongkang was shocked. Of course he had an impression that it was not only the Duke of Wei who was wrongly killed, but also... that person!

Is it...

He took a deep breath and said, "I know about this matter. Duke Wei... is indeed a bit... a pity."

At this time, some of the elderly people present also remembered that incident. It was not only a pity for Duke Wei, it was simply injustice!

Could it be that Bai Lin meant that Bai Zhaozhao was an orphan of the Duke of Wei's family? But what did this have to do with the royal bloodline?

Maybe he has a grudge against the royal family?

However, the late emperor has passed away, and it is inappropriate to talk about his faults at this time.

Bai Zhaozhao was very surprised. Was Wang Jinnian's investigation wrong? Then how did Bai Lin know?

It was Bai Shihong, he told Bai Lin!

Emperor Yongkang was also surprised and asked softly, "Then Showa is..."

Bai Lin was about to answer, but unexpectedly, Prince An waved his hand to stop him.

"Bai Lin, it's inappropriate for you to say that!"

"Your Highness..." Now it was Bai Lin's turn to be surprised.

"Royal brother, there is no need to investigate!" Prince An suddenly stood in front of Bai Lin.

At this moment, everyone present held their breath, instinctively feeling that a big secret was about to be revealed!

Emperor Yongkang looked at him in confusion: "Old Fifth...what do you mean?"

Prince An bowed to the emperor, then looked at Bai Zhaozhao with complex emotions in his eyes, which successfully confused Bai Zhaozhao.

Afterwards, Prince An said in a loud voice: "Brother, Zhao Zhao is the illegitimate daughter of this minister and the daughter of the Wei family! So there is no need to investigate!"

Everyone:! ! !

It’s really a big melon!

Prince An said sincerely, "Back then, Duke Wei's family was executed, and I secretly rescued the daughter of the Wei family, and then Zhao Zhao was born. Later, she died of dystocia. I was worried that my reputation would be damaged, so I sent Zhao Zhao away. Now that Zhao Zhao has grown up, I asked the princess to bring her back and recognize her as my adopted daughter!

My dear brother, no matter how wrong I am, it is all my fault. I have let the princess down and the daughter of the Wei family down! Please accept Zhao Zhao as your niece!"

Bai Zhaozhao: ???

This can't be true, right? She was ready for this, but this turn of events happened.

Tang Yanyan: ...My sister-in-law has become my biological sister! Why am I suddenly a little happy?

Everyone: Sure enough, she is an illegitimate daughter! That's right! No wonder Prince An would ask for the title of county lord for an adopted daughter! After all, in addition to Princess Rouping, Prince An has several concubines who have not yet been asked to be titled!

But then again, although Prince An now acknowledges Bai Zhaozhao and is considered responsible, his reputation is ultimately ruined.

For example, the identity of the female criminal of the Wei family. If Prince An had stood up and said that he could take her as a concubine, she would not have to die. However, he chose to save her secretly, which was tantamount to violating the will of the late emperor!

Another example is the matter of him sending Bai Zhaozhao away. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. But Prince Rui at least gave his illegitimate daughter Su Ling to the governor and made her a rich lady. But Prince An, on the other hand, sent her directly to the countryside and ignored her for many years!

For example, in the matter of adopting a daughter, when Su Ling was found out, King Rui had already died and there was no way to verify it, so for the sake of the royal family's face, they gave her the title of adopted daughter.

But Prince An is different. He can tell the emperor to find a way to arrange an identity for Bai Zhaozhao and acknowledge her as his adopted daughter openly. There is no need to adopt her as an adopted daughter, as doing so would appear hypocritical.

Now he is forced to tell the truth. If it gets out, it will form a sharp contrast with his previous image, which is very unpleasant.

The Queen Mother was obviously very angry. She pointed at Prince An and said angrily, "You! You are confused! If you had told me... I could have arranged something for you..."

Prince An knelt down hurriedly and said, "Don't be angry, mother. It's all my fault!"

Emperor Yongkang was so excited that he stood up directly, and his tone was a little exasperated: "Of course you are wrong! When you asked for the title, I asked you, what did you say? You said you didn't have an illegitimate daughter! Now you know to stand up when you have to admit it? You still have the nerve to say that your reputation has been damaged? Isn't it damaged now? You have disgraced the royal family!"

"Brother..." Prince An's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Princess An shouted, and also stood up and knelt down, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty, it is all my fault. After I knew the truth, I was determined not to let Your Majesty recognize Zhao Zhao, and only wanted to recognize her as my adopted daughter!

It was because I was jealous of the Wei family girl and refused to give her a name that the prince had to keep her away. It was also because I secretly sent Zhao Zhao away and threw her into a forest in Linyang County! The prince found out later, but when he wanted to find Zhao Zhao, he couldn't find her anymore!

Your Majesty, Queen Mother, what I said is true. It was I who found Zhao Zhao in the first place. In order to prevent her from returning to her ancestral home, I took the lead in recognizing her as my adopted daughter, and then let the Bai family bring her to the capital! This is all my fault, the prince just wanted to protect me!"

Prince An looked at her with emotion: "Princess, you..."

"Your Highness!" Princess An said affectionately, "I know that you have been protecting me out of guilt, but I cannot ruin your reputation for my own selfish reasons!"

Everyone:...

If this is true, Prince An's reputation will indeed be much better, but if it is false, hey, doesn't it also show that Princess An is very powerful!

Indeed, Princess An's words successfully eased the Queen Mother's mood: "Emperor, since the couple have admitted their mistakes, I don't think we should blame Princess An. Just ask her to reflect on her mistakes for two months."

Emperor Yongkang quickly responded: "Your Majesty is right! Then Showa..."

The Queen Mother paused for a moment and said, "What else can Showa do? Since he is of royal blood, of course he must recognize his ancestors and return to his roots!"

Bai Zhaozhao: Holy shit! Did Wang Jinnian really fail?
