Empress Reincarnation
Cheated

The king sat in his chair with a hostile face, "yesterday night someone reported that you didn't come home for two nights, and he saw you were having an affair outside. Is that true?"

Liu Li was surprised to hear that, it turned out that there was someone following him on the night of his departure to the forest.

The women whispered to each other, "it was unexpected that the woman was shameless. Is Prince Jin not satisfying him enough?"

Another woman whispered, "you don't know, they've been married for two years. But the prince had never seen Liu Li at all."

Uncle Liu Li also spoke to the king, "noble one, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter. Liu Li is a good girl, she can't betray the prince."

Right now uncle is pretending, when in North Maros he never treated Liu Li well. Liu Li knew that his uncle was dropping him.

"Liu Li has never done anything like that, your majesty," Liu Li replied, "You said that someone witnessed it himself, may you let that person come here and let Liu Li question him?"

Hearing that, uncle Liu Li felt indignant. It was unusual for Liu Li to act like this. Normally his uncle would explain for him, and Liu Li would just cry and say thank you.

"All right, I'll give you one chance" said the king, "take him here!"

Somewhere else.

"My lord, there's news from the palace. The princess had been invited to come to the palace, it was said that the princess had left the city a few days ago .. leave, go ..." prince Jin's bodyguard was unable to continue his sentence.

"What's going to go? Don't stammer!" Wei Hong's orders.

The bodyguard continued on in fear, "someone has reported that the princess left the city to fornicate with a man."

"Alright," replied the prince coldly. His expression showed that he was angry.

How could princess fornicate. Two days ago the princess had saved the prince. So the prince must know more clearly than anyone what the princess did that day. It's very clear that someone wants to slander the princess.

"Come to the palace" said the prince.

***

"Hamba met his majesty, a long, glorious life." The city gatekeeper kneeled down and gave the king his greetings.

"Are you the gatekeeper who saw the princess come out of the city that night?" ask king.

"Rubber, two days ago the servant stood guard at the city gate and saw the princess," replied the gatekeeper.

"Say what you see?" ask Liu Li.

"Two days ago I saw the princess riding on a horse-drawn carriage and leaving the city at night. She was dressed so beautifully and looked impatient."

Liu Li furrowed his brows hearing the words of the gatekeeper.

"Your highness, a married woman who left the city in the middle of the night secretly without bringing along a maid or anything. Other than fornicating, I did not think there was another possible reason" Xiao Wu said.

The women started whispering again, "right. It was unexpected that Liu Li who looked foolish in his daily life, turned out to be extremely shameless."

"true."

Uncle spoke angrily, "Xiao Wu, don't speak carelessly! How could your sister be such a person."

"What are you doing!" The aunt spoke, "obviously it was Liu Li, Xiao Wu was just telling the truth!"

"Ah Liu Li. I know the prince is not home all year," the uncle looked at Liu Li, "but you can't be like this either. Ruining my reputation as Northern Maros is a small thing, but you now represent as the wife of prince Jin."

Liu Li observed the charade of people who were none other than his own family. They made his position guilty and his uncle was defending him.

"Your highness, I think the princess is indeed harming the reputation of the royal family" said Ling, one of the princesses of the king.

Liu Li did not want to be punished, "the thing that was never done, Liu Li would never admit it. Your Majesty, please give me a chance to explain myself."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance." This matter was concerned with prince Jin, the king had to carefully resolve it. At least lay out the entire evidence so that Liu Li could no longer dodge.

Liu Li approached the gatekeeper, "since you said that I have been having an affair with someone, then I will ask you some questions directly."

The gatekeeper looked down in fear.

"Liu Li, you will insist until when?!" xiao Wun said insultingly.

"Sister .. are you afraid I'm going to ask you something I shouldn't ask you?"

"What am I afraid of? You're the one who should be scared!" Xiao Wu felt Liu Li to be difficult to deal with.

Liu Li continued his question to the gatekeeper, "you said that if I had a special meeting with a man last night, but have you ever seen him?"

The gatekeeper was confused to answer because he did not see it, "i told you that man was in your carriage, how could I see him!"

"If I don't get it wrong, everyone who leaves town should get regular checkups. But, that day my carriage was also an exception." It was precisely that night that Liu Li's horse carriage was able to get out of the city gate easily because there were no guards there.

"That night was too dark, I didn't see it clearly at all." The gatekeeper answered him nervously.

"How can you see me clearly?"

"I ... I ..." The gatekeeper was unable to cover up his lies anymore.

"I'll ask you again, since you knew I was a princess, why didn't you report it back then? After I left town, where else would I go cheating with someone else?"

The guard was unable to answer, he glanced towards the crowd to look for the whereabouts of uncle Liu Li hoping to get help.

"My sister, if you quickly admit your wrongdoings, it's possible that your punishment will be lenient" Xiao Wu said, "if you wait for someone to actually confirm it, it's the same as telling the rest of the world."

"Your Majesty, even though Liu Li is a member of our family, but he must accept punishment when he misbehaves. I'm also not willing to protect her" said the aunt.

The ministers who were also present finally opened their mouths, "your majesty, in our opinion, because the wife of prince Jin dared to do such a shameful deed, it is better, please replace prince Jin to divorce his wife."

Another minister spoke, "I agree. In the royal family, it was unexpected that there were people who did not take care of the king's face."

"There really is a catastrophe in my dynasty!" The king was furious, "Liu Li, do you still have any other evidence proving your innocence?"

"I'm the proof of him." Prince Jin walked in with great dignity.
