Chapter 881: Chapter 879: Mu Fei Falls into a Trap
“Ah!!”
A strange woman’s face, dead with eyes wide open, frightened Shen Yu, draining the color from her face.
She lost her mind and fell to the ground, her pale lips trembling incessantly, “How could this happen? How could this happen! Su Yingxue was supposed to be the one who died!”
“Su Yingxue is my own granddaughter, I will always protect her,”
the Empress Dowager’s eyes radiated an incomparable sharpness.
She made a gesture with her hand, and at the palace gate of Funing Palace, Qin Muyan led the palace guards in a steady stream, completely surrounding Mu Fei and Shen Yu.
Qin Muyan, holding the blazing sword, opened a path for the woman behind him, “Yingxue, come out.”
Su Yingxue, dressed in a red warrior’s outfit, stepped out of the crowd. Her proud and bright eyes, her stunning beauty, carried a power that intimidated everything. By her stark contrast, Shen Yu’s face seemed especially false.
Shen Yu instinctively covered her face, feeling inferior and angry, “Why…”
Why, even with a face that looked exactly the same, she couldn’t hold her head high in front of Su Yingxue!
“Su Yingxue, when did you convince this dead old hag to believe in you?” Mu Fei’s mouth curved into a cold arc, his unwillingness evident.
He had prepared for so long, his meticulous plan, yet they had seen through it!
“Right at the moment when you thought you had won!”
Su Yingxue walked over to the Empress Dowager, taking her hand, “The connection between blood relatives is a very marvelous thing, something that not even medicine can fully explain.”
The Empress Dowager held her hand, a look full of tenderness in her eyes, “You’ve suffered, child.”
“Not at all, Grandma. These people took advantage of your eager longing to deceive you, and that’s truly despicable!”
A cold and slightly malevolent expression flitted across her exquisite face.
Shen Yu lay on the ground trembling all over, “I didn’t intend to deceive the Empress Dowager. I just happen to look very much like the princess. I was just considering her eagerness to see her granddaughter and wanted to serve her well… Imperial Grandmother, has Zhao’er ever had any ill intentions while serving at your side all this time? Zhao’er has always held the utmost respect and love for you!”
The Empress Dowager’s tone softened slightly, “You have indeed shown me great respect and affection, and I have cherished you. You’ve done nothing inappropriate but…”
Her gaze suddenly turned sharp, “You shouldn’t have tampered with your face, using Zheng Er’s portrait to deceive me! That was the only portrait of Zheng Er I had! I am old now, my eyesight is fading, and I can no longer draw Zheng Er’s likeness!”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. That portrait was her last memory of Qin Zheng.
But because of Shen Yu’s scheme, along with Mu Fei, they destroyed her last remembrance of Zheng Er!
“I didn’t destroy that portrait! It was Mu Fei, it was this villain! Imperial Grandmother, you must punish him severely! I am innocent, I am innocent!” Shen Yu scrambled over to the Empress Dowager’s side, clutching at her skirt and begging for mercy.
Mu Fei, the one she pointed to, wore a mocking expression, “Foolish thing!”
No matter how much she pleaded, she was on a path leading to death.
But what Mu Fei couldn’t accept was, “Su Yingxue, how did you make this old fossil believe you?”
“Because the first time Grandma saw me, she knew I was her granddaughter. Shen Yu may look like me, but she is merely similar. Her appearance cannot be replicated by blood. There was a problem with the blood test conducted by the Eldest Princess that day, and I have always had my doubts. When Your Highness brought me to the imperial prison, Grandma came to see me in private, and we tested again, revealing the truth once and for all!”
