Before the prince could finish speaking, the midwives rushed to confess.
"It was a civilian woman who was confused for a moment and listened to Mother Qiu's slander and accepted the money."
"Concubine Shen personally promised that as long as she could do this under cover of circumstances, she would be rewarded heavily afterwards. The civilian woman was greedy for a moment, so she agreed."
"A citizen woman deserves to die. She shouldn't be greedy for money and do such things in a blind moment. I hope Your Highness will be merciful and spare her life."
The sounds of crying for mercy and kowtowing were intertwined together, and each word was clearly transmitted to the prince's ears.
The prince's face can no longer be described as ugly.
Shen Qiuyu knew that the situation was over and that no matter how hard it was to recover, she simply did not defend herself and just cried silently. Unfortunately, the tears that made the prince most moved and pitied him in the past had no effect at the moment, and even only made him feel disgusted.
Mo lost no time and said: "Your Highness, there are two other people who must know the inside story. Why don't we call them into the delivery room and ask them, and everything will be clear."
These two people are, of course, Doctor Wang, who has been responsible for diagnosing Shen Qiuyu's pulse, and Shen Qiuyu's confidant, Mama Qiu.[
The prince was furious when he heard this and sneered: "Okay, everyone has their heart and courage, and they dare to do such a thing behind my back. You really think that I am a fool who is at the mercy of others!" The last few words were almost squeezed out from between the teeth.
Shen Qiuyu was most familiar with his temper. When he heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. He reflexively opened his mouth to plead: "Your Highness, this matter is all my fault. Please don't blame Mother Qiu for your anger." "
The prince had no expression other than a sneer: "Shen Qiuyu. Do you think I am just a stupid man, just letting you manipulate me? It's already come to this time. Do you still think I will listen to you?" "
There was no trace of blood on Shen Qiuyu's face.
The prince didn't even look at her and said coldly: "Someone, go and call Doctor Wang and Mother Qiu."
Knowing that a catastrophe was imminent, Dr. Wang's legs went weak as soon as he entered the delivery room and he knelt down: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was confused and did something wrong for a moment. Please, Your Highness, please spare me this miserable life."
The prince sneered again and again: "Mr. Wang, how many benefits has Shen Qiuyu given you, how dare you do such a treasonous thing!"
Dr. Wang burst into tears, with a sad and regretful expression: "Xiaoguan was confused. At that time, Concubine Shen asked Mother Qiu to secretly give me five thousand taels of silver notes. Xiaguan was obsessed with money, so he agreed. In fact, Xiaguan has regretted it for a long time, but he has been forced into this position, so he can only grit his teeth and hold on. Your Highness clearly knows it! If Concubine Shen hadn't threatened and lured him, Xianguan would never have dared to do such a thing."
Mother Qiu, who was also kneeling, also had a pale face, but when she heard these words from Imperial Physician Wang, she immediately glared at her: "Physician Wang, you are so shameless! It is true that Concubine Shen gave you five thousand taels of silver notes at the beginning. , but in the following months, you took the opportunity to ask for it several times. In total, you took at least 20,000 taels in silver notes. Now that His Highness noticed it, you took all these things to Concubine Shen. Come on, you have such a face!"
Of course, Doctor Wang would never admit that he had taken so much money: "You are so slanderous, it is true that I took 5,000 taels of silver notes. You secretly forced it on me. I have never seen any other silver notes." I've seen it before." After saying that, he kowtowed heavily to the prince and begged for mercy: "This official is really just obsessed for a moment. I definitely didn't mean to deceive His Highness. I beg Your Highness to spare my life!"
Mother Qiu was not ashamed of Dr. Wang's behavior and let out a loud sigh.
"Shut up, both of you!" The prince was full of anger and impatience. He roared like this, but he couldn't help feeling angry. He stepped forward and kicked Dr. Wang hard. This kick almost used up all the energy in his body. With all his strength, he kicked him in the heart again. Doctor Wang screamed and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Before Mother Qiu could be happy, the prince followed the law and kicked her hard. She was even worse than Dr. Wang, and she almost fainted from the kick on the spot.
Shen Qiuyu trembled and shouted, "Mother Qiu!" Tears suddenly poured out of the corners of her eyes.[
She quickly got off the delivery bed and squatted down. Because she squatted down too quickly, the pillow stuffed in her dress slipped down. Her high belly became flat in an instant, and there was an extra pillow at her feet.
The prince's mood, which had calmed down a little, suddenly became gloomy again after seeing the pillow. His fists clenched unconsciously.
She was indeed lying to him! It was a complete conspiracy from the beginning!
The son he had been waiting for for nearly a year turned out to be just such a pillow! A fucking pillow!
Except for the prince, everyone in the delivery room knelt on the floor. The only one standing was Mrs. Mo. Of course, Mrs. Mo would never plead for Shen Qiuyu, and even said lightly: "Now that the matter has come to an end, , I don’t dare to hide it from His Highness anymore. In fact, I have long been suspicious, but there is no definite evidence. That’s why I endured it until tonight, just to let Your Highness see this scene with his own eyes. Otherwise, I'm afraid that even if I tell you something, Your Highness will not believe what I say. He will only think that I am jealous and malicious."
The prince's expression was extremely stiff, but he didn't say a word.
Although Mo's words were unpleasant to listen to, he knew very well in his heart that what she said was right. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Shen Qiuyu would deceive him like this!
At this moment, a housekeeper hurried into the delivery room and whispered in Mrs. Mo's ear.
Mo's eyes lit up and the corners of her lips raised slightly. This time, even God was on her side. Just when she was worried that she couldn't find the most favorable evidence, the evidence was delivered to her door in person.
"Don't you, Your Highness, really want to know how Concubine Shen plans to give birth to a child?" Madam Mo suddenly made a startling statement: "I already know."
The prince's eyes flashed and he looked at Mrs. Mo.
Mrs. Mo smiled faintly: "I have sent people to guard the entrances of the house in advance, lest someone with evil intentions take advantage of the midnight to cause trouble. I am really good-looking, and I caught a man who was acting strangely at the back door. Mother-in-law, she is holding a newborn baby in her hand."
The prince gasped in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again!"
Mr. Mo glanced at Shen Qiuyu, who was slumped on the ground, with contempt, and then calmly said: "If Your Highness is curious, why don't you personally interrogate this woman? Then you will understand everything!"
When the prince saw the baby boy in the mother-in-law's arms, his face couldn't be any more ugly. Everything is so clear, what else is there to ask? It was already clear what Shen Qiuyu had in mind. placed it in front of his eyes.
But that was not enough, Mrs. Mo took the baby boy in her arms and brought it to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, come and see, this baby boy's eyebrows and eyes really look like His Highness!"
The prince looked down at the baby boy stiffly. The features of the tightly wrapped baby boy indeed resembled his own, and he was suddenly surprised again.
Under pressure, the woman cried and told the truth: "The civilian woman was a midwife who received a sum of money to deliver the baby to a woman named Yun'er, and then sent the baby to the Prince's Mansion. Come through the back door. Other women really don’t know anything!”
Yoona!
The prince gasped, his whole body feeling cold.
All the truth is revealed! It turns out that Shen Qiuyu had the idea of surrendering a child. No wonder at the beginning of last year, every time she stayed in her yard for the night, she always said she was unwell and asked Yoona to take care of her. From that time on, Shen Qiuyu has already started planning for this day!
No man can endure such deception, and no man wants to be toyed with. No matter how gentle the prince is on weekdays, he never lacks the pride of being the current prince. But the reality slapped him hard. The slap made him bleed and the pain was unbearable.
He has always doted on Shen Qiuyu, whom he regarded as his confidante, but she turned out to be just a greedy, vain and ambitious woman.
Mrs. Mo quietly admired the prince's face, and for some reason she felt strangely happy and comfortable.
For so many years, she has been the Crown Princess in name and the most noble woman in the Prince's palace. But everyone knows that the woman the Crown Prince really loves is Shen Qiuyu. That woman relies on the Crown Prince's favor and never treats her as the principal concubine. In front of her eyes, she was occupying a vacant position, but only she knew the pain and sourness in it.
After so many years, she no longer expects the prince's affection. But her hatred for Shen Qiuyu has never stopped. It has even accumulated more and more as the years have passed, and has gradually become her inner demon.
The day she had been eagerly anticipating finally came before her eyes. The feeling of joy could hardly be described in words.
Your Highness, you have finally seen Shen Qiuyu's ambition with your own eyes. No matter how tolerant and generous you are, you will remember this profound lesson! Will you still love Shen Qiuyu as you did before?
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Gu Xinian lay there for a long time, but he was still not sleepy at all. As time passed, he became more and more awake. He kept thinking about the same question in his mind. What kind of good things would happen in the prince's mansion at this time? play?
Suddenly a soft voice sounded in my ears: "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Gu Xinian was stunned: "Did I wake you up?"
Ye Qinglan chuckled lightly and nestled her head in his arms: "You didn't bother me. But I knew you couldn't sleep, so I couldn't sleep no matter what."
Gu Xinian felt warm in his heart, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and murmured in a low voice as if talking to himself: "Everything has been arranged. We will know tomorrow what the result will be. At this time, Don't think too much and sleep well!" (To be continued...)
