Chapter 170 Fake!!
When Emperor Tiansheng heard this, he trembled as if struck by lightning, his eyes suddenly widened to the extreme, and his face was full of disbelief. His hands trembled violently, pointing directly at Zhan Shixuan, his voice became hoarse and distorted due to extreme anger: "You...what do you mean by what you just said? Do you dare to claim that you are the missing little prince of the past? And you even said wildly that you are the son of my mother and father? How can I believe such a ridiculous thing!"
Facing the Emperor Tiansheng's sharp questioning, Zhan Shixuan's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a fleeting smile, but in an instant he returned to his calm and composed state. He bowed respectfully to the emperor, straightened his body, and answered in a calm, firm and powerful tone:
"If your majesty has any doubts about this matter, you can send your trusted ministers to investigate it thoroughly. Since ancient times, it has been said that 'real gold is not afraid of fire'. When the truth comes out, everything will naturally come to light. I firmly believe that justice is clear and fairness is in the hearts of the people. As time goes by, the truth will eventually come to light."
After saying this, Zhan Shixuan stared at the emperor with his eyes as bright as torches, without any fear in his eyes. However, Emperor Tiansheng was so angry at these words that his face turned livid in an instant. He clenched his hands into fists, and his body trembled with anger. Suddenly, he slammed the table and stood up, shocking everyone in the court.
"What a brazen Zhan Shixuan! How dare you speak so arrogantly! Have you been plotting for a long time?" Emperor Tiansheng was so angry that his eyes widened like bells. His roar resounded throughout the palace, and the anger contained in it seemed to blow the roof off. The rage was burning fiercely, and it seemed that no one could calm it down.
However, facing the questioning and rebuke of Emperor Tiansheng, Zhan Shijun showed no fear. Instead, he took a step forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The evidence before us is irrefutable. Why do you have to deceive yourself? I beg Your Majesty to put the country first and give up the throne voluntarily. Only in this way can the world return to the right path as soon as possible and the people will unite and submit to you."
Hearing this, Emperor Tiansheng finally shifted his gaze to Zhan Shijun. He pointed at him with a trembling finger and roared angrily: "Well, I never expected that you are actually birds of a feather! Come on! Quickly drag Zhan Shixuan and Zhan Shijun out of the hall and execute them immediately to serve as a warning to others!" As his voice fell, a group of guards responded and came in, quickly walking towards the Zhan brothers, ready to execute the emperor's orders.
"Who dares to take action!" Following this angry shout, the entire court instantly fell into a dead silence. Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction of the voice.
The Queen Mother was seen walking slowly and unsteadily from outside the hall, supported carefully by Lu Yi. Her face was solemn and dignified, revealing an irresistible aura of majesty.
Emperor Tiansheng was shocked when he saw this scene. He stood up and walked forward and asked with concern: "Mother, why did you suddenly come here? If there is anything, you can just send someone to convey the order. Why do you have to come here in person?"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, looked at Emperor Tiansheng solemnly, and answered firmly: "I came here today to see my long-lost son!"
When Emperor Tiansheng heard this, his face suddenly changed, his eyes became empty and lifeless, and his face was full of suspicion. He whispered to himself: "Mother, my younger brother left us 22 years ago. This person in front of us is clearly a fake! I will never tolerate it. I will definitely execute his entire family to enforce the law!"
However, facing the doubts and accusations of Emperor Tiansheng, the Queen Mother showed no intention of backing down. She stared at her son closely, with a firm light in her eyes, and solemnly declared: "He is definitely not a fake, but my own flesh and blood!"
At this time, Zhan Shixuan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly knelt on his knees, kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and said with guilt: "Mother, I am an unfilial son and have caused you to worry and work hard!"
