Chapter 475 The Ninth Prince Is Not a Dragon!
The incident was reported by a personal servant who had served the King of Shu for nearly 30 years. He said that the King of Shu threatened his family's lives, and he did not have any solid evidence, so he did not dare to expose it for so many years.
Before entering the palace, Concubine Qi had several private meetings with the King of Shu, and several of them stayed overnight outside. After the emperor tortured the Qi family, these things were also answered affirmatively.
Some things, once you follow the clues and investigate thoroughly, you will soon get the truth.
The emperor was furious and ordered people to bring the ninth prince back from Youzhou immediately.
Fearing that someone would rescue him, the emperor arranged for Commander Lu and Xie Mingxu to set out together. It seems that they are determined to get to the bottom of it.
The most hurt person is the Princess of Shu. It would be fine if her husband did not love her. Now that he is dead, the past grievances should be turned over.
But at this time, she knew that her husband, who had always been loving and considerate, might have had a child with someone else!
The old servant who confessed the truth even said an extremely secret thing.
The King of Shu has been drugging the Princess of Shu for so many years!
Just because Qi Jingchun didn't want the Princess of Shu to give birth to a child for the King of Shu.
This report was like a thunder in the capital.
Everyone was talking about it and speculating about the purpose of the King of Shu's doing this.
Qi Jingchun had entered the palace to be a concubine at that time, why didn't she let the Princess of Shu give birth to a child for the King of Shu? Is a woman's jealousy really that serious?
In the end, everyone could only think of one possibility.
That is, the Ninth Prince is indeed the child of Qi Jingchun and the King of Shu, and the King of Shu's arrangements and planning for so many years, including drugging the prince, are actually to pave the way for the Ninth Prince to ascend the throne.
After the Ninth Prince was brought back, the Emperor closed the door. I don't know what secret method the miracle doctor used. Shen Ningning was also present and learned the result.
The Ninth Prince is indeed not the Emperor's biological child.
"Father!" The Ninth Prince opened his eyes wide and trembled in fear: "Someone wants to harm me! It's this doctor who wants to frame me! Father, don't believe them. My mother has died for her crime, and they want my life too!"
The emperor was furious and kicked him to the ground.
"I wish I could kill you right away!"
After that, he flicked his sleeves and ordered coldly: "Pass the order down, the Ninth Prince has rebelled and helped the guilty concubine Qi to seek power. He has not made any progress for many years and is no longer worthy of being my son. From now on, his name will be stripped and demoted to a commoner. Ten days later, he will be beheaded and displayed to the public!"
The Ninth Prince was limp and sat on the ground.
For the sake of his own face, the emperor would not admit to the outside world that Concubine Qi had an affair with the King of Shu, and that she had let the emperor raise someone else's son for so many years.
But everyone in the capital was guessing, and through the emperor's punishment of the Ninth Prince, they all guessed a thing or two.
But the emperor did not allow anyone to discuss it. Anyone who speculated about it would be taken to the government to be beaten.
Gradually, everyone dared not discuss the matter anymore, but in the end, the Princess of Shu still heard a few words.
Mo Zhirou accidentally told the Princess of Shu that the Ninth Prince was not a dragon seed.
She frowned and pretended to be puzzled: "I don't know the details, but I heard that the emperor was furious. It seems that the Ninth Prince is really the son of Concubine Qi and someone else! Mother, who is the biological father of the Ninth Prince?"
The Princess of Shu was trembling all over and her face was pale. Her fingertips gradually clenched, and her trembling lips slowly cursed: "Assholes! These assholes!"
The Ninth Prince is indeed her husband's seed!
So, thinking of the past, the way the King of Shu tried to protect the Ninth Prince without making a sound, she felt sick.
Just when she was about to get up, she felt dizzy in her mind and her body was shaky.
Mo Zhirou panicked: "Mother!"
She hurriedly went up to support the Princess of Shu and kept calling the servants to find a doctor.
The Princess of Shu fell ill.
When Shen Ningning went to see her, she seemed to have lost her spirit. Her face was sallow, sallow, and her eyes were dull.
Mo Lingwei stood by the bed, also looking at her, frowning slightly.
"For a man like that, you are really not worth it." He said.
The emperor also sent people to visit the Princess of Shu, and in order to comfort her, he named her the Lady of Shu, which was considered to be stripping the title of the King of Shu.
Even so, the Princess of Shu was still devastated.
She leaned against the bed and smiled bitterly: "Lingwei, I just feel stupid, and even blind. Why did I not find out that I was deceived by a man for so long?"
Qi Jingchun didn't want her to have a child, so the King of Shu drugged her.
When Qi Jingchun was about to have a birthday, the King of Shu spent a lot of money to buy a jade token for her.
The King of Shu was willing to bear the crime of treason for the child Qi Jingchun had with him, and he was going to plan for him.
At this point, the Princess of Shu felt that she was living like a joke.
And she did realize that the reason why the King of Shu married her was just because he couldn't marry Qi Jingchun, so he chose the last resort!
And her father, as the governor of Shuzhou, was what the King of Shu really wanted.
When Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei left the palace, the little girl couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas, she can only think it over by herself."
Mo Lingwei pursed his lips: "My father has tried his best to comfort her, and I hope she can get over it as soon as possible."
Before the two left, they met Mo Zhirou carrying a tray to serve tea.
Seeing Mo Lingwei was about to leave, Mo Zhirou was surprised: "Your Highnesses, the Crown Prince and the Princess, are you not going to talk to your mother anymore?"
Mo Lingwei looked coldly: "No more, she needs to rest. Since you are allowed to stay with her, say more to comfort her."
Mo Zhirou lowered her head and said softly: "Zhirou understands."
Shen Ningning glanced at her before leaving with Mo Lingwei.
The Shu King's Concubine is ill now, and she will definitely not be able to return to Shuzhou for the time being.
At first, the little girl wondered if Mo Zhirou had revealed the truth to the emperor.
But, on second thought, it was unlikely. If Mo Zhirou had known that Concubine Qi and King Shu had that kind of relationship, why didn't she know about the jade token?
She almost caused the relationship between Concubine Qi and King Shu to be exposed in advance.
In short, Mo Zhirou probably got what she wanted now.
That day, Shen Ningning brought the Black Wolf King to Xie Mansion with the food made by Grandma Qin.
As soon as she entered the door, the little girl's second brother Xie Mingan came in a hurry.
"Little sister!" He frowned and looked worried: "Did father go to see you?"
Shen Ningning was startled: "No, what's wrong?"
Xie Suzhi is the prime minister, and he should go to the palace to work today.
But Xie Mingan said in a deep voice: "Father hasn't been home for two days."
"What?!" Shen Ningning was shocked.
It was almost the end of the year, and the National Academy was on vacation. The little girl had been in Xiangyun Village, accompanying Grandma Qin to stuff sausages and prepare New Year's goods.
Just as she came with two strings of sausages, she heard the news.
Xie Suzhi would not disappear for no reason.
Shen Ningning immediately touched the head of the Black Wolf King: "Wolf, take us to find Daddy!"
The Black Wolf King sniffed and suddenly jumped forward and ran away.
Xie Mingan couldn't leave Shen Ningning alone, so he asked the gateman to bring a fast horse and hurriedly followed.
The two found a familiar mountain field.
It was almost dusk, and the sunset was everywhere.
Looking at the familiar road, Xie Mingan and Shen Ningning were both startled.
"This is the way to worship my mother." The little girl recognized it.
They hurried to Shen Siyi's grave, but saw Xie Suzhi leaning against the stone tablet. I don't know how long he has been sitting there, his clothes were messy and dirty, and his expression was stunned and bitter.
Shen Ningning turned his head again and found that the grave had been opened!
Xie Mingan was shocked and shouted angrily: "Father! Are you crazy? Why did you open my mother's coffin!"
At this moment, Shen Ningning, who had already run to the coffin to confirm, screamed in shock.
"Stinky second brother! Come and see, there is no one in the coffin!"
Xie Mingan hurried over, and as Shen Ningning said, there was no corpse in the coffin except some burial objects!
How could it be possible!
His pupils shrank.
Where is the corpse of his mother Shen Siyi?
