The door to the royal study room was wide open, and Shen Xingwan felt a sense of oppression from the first step he took.
She straightened her back and supported the Queen Mother as she walked in step by step.
When the emperor saw the Queen Mother coming, he quickly got up from his seat and supported the Queen Mother, "Why is the Queen Mother here?"
"Let me see what's going on, which requires the emperor to mobilize troops like this."
Shen Xingwan knelt down to say hello, "My daughter has met the emperor."
The emperor sat at the desk and looked at her for a long time without speaking or letting her get up.
Shen Xingwan just knelt and remained motionless.
"Crack!"
The emperor threw a memorial in front of her with force, "You can read it yourself."
Shen Xingwan picked up the memorial and read it carefully. It said that she was a remnant of the previous royal family and a princess of the previous dynasty.
The prince's death was closely related to her.
The signature of the last memorial is: Min Xilin.
The emperor looked at her with a frightening look, "What else do you have to say?"
Shen Xingwan straightened up and said word by word, "Where's the evidence? From the daughter of a marquis to a peasant girl, now I'm said to be of the blood of the previous dynasty, so I'm pretty good at making up stories."
"Nangong Xian, tell me."
Nangong Xian stood up, "When Madam Hou returned to the south of the Yangtze River to worship her ancestors, she went to the temple to offer incense. She encountered heavy rain and the mountain collapsed and the road was blocked, so she was forced to stay in the temple. Zhang, a peasant woman from the Shen family branch, was also in the temple, and the two of them
Miss Shen and Miss Su gave birth to the same baby by the same day, right or wrong?"
Shen Xingwan met Nangong Xian's eyes and said, "Yes."
Nangong Xian smiled slightly, "Then have you ever thought about how it is possible for the Marquis's wife's child to be mistakenly carried by the peasant woman's child?"
Shen Xingwan's eyes darkened. The original book didn't mention this at all. The identity of the two of them had been determined at the point where she came through the book.
The inside story of the error report is still unknown.
Nangong Xian said loudly, "Because there was another person who was in the temple back then. The surviving remnant of the previous royal family also gave birth to a daughter on that day."
"Even the fact that the wife stayed in the temple and gave birth prematurely was all planned. She gave birth to three children that night in the temple."
The matter was so ridiculous that the entire imperial study was silent.
"The one who died was the child of the peasant woman Zhang. The remnants of the previous dynasty were given to Mrs. Hou, giving her an upright identity. The daughter of the Hou family was given to Mrs. Zhang of the Shen family. This is the truth back then!"
Nangong Xian said loudly, "And Miss Shen is the remnant of the previous dynasty. According to the plan, Miss Shen should grow up in the Hou Mansion. With the power of the Hou Mansion, she will marry the royal family and marry the prince. In this way, she can enter the royal family openly and cooperate with the former dynasty.
We will restore the power of the DPRK at the right time!"
If it hadn't been for her, Shen Xingwan would have wanted to applaud him. His ability to make up stories was amazing, and he had absolutely no problem with his logical thinking.
Nangong Xian continued, "Unfortunately, an accident happened later. Madam Hou returned to Jiangnan a few years later and met her biological daughter Su Jingyi, which led to the failure of the plan of the remnants of the previous dynasty."
"So, you made a new plan to enter the Shen family, become the princess of Zhennan, reappear in Beijing, and get involved with the royal family."
Shen Xingwan didn't even raise his eyebrows, "If you want to hear such stories, I can make up a hundred of them right away. They all sound equally reasonable and reasonable without any sense of violation."
The Queen Mother also said, "Such accusations require ironclad evidence!"
"Of course we have the evidence," Nangong Xian said.
Nangong Xian spent another whole hour trying to prove through clues and people from Duke Lu's mansion that the prince's death was inseparable from her.
Of course, everyone present knew that if the prince insisted on saying anything, Zhennan Palace would be more suspicious than her.
They also produced some so-called evidence that proves her close relationship with the forces of the previous dynasty.
By the time Nangong Xian finished speaking, Shen Xingwan's legs were too weak to feel.
The emperor looked at her condescendingly, "Do you plead guilty?"
"No!" Shen Xingwan said loudly, "These are just Nangong Xian's speculations, not ironclad evidence."
Nangong Xian said calmly, "It seems that the girl has stopped crying after seeing the coffin. Please allow me to be a witness."
"allow!"
Witnesses were soon brought in.
Shen Xingwan raised his eyes and saw a strange old woman and Mrs. Zhang.
Shen Xingwan actually didn't feel that surprised.
When the two of them saw the emperor for the first time, they were both trembling with fear. They knelt down and couldn't speak clearly.
Nangong Xian comforted him, "Tell me everything you know. The Emperor will understand everything clearly. Don't be afraid."
The woman in her fifties first said in a trembling voice, "The civilian woman was the steward of Mrs. Hou back then. All my family members were kidnapped in order to blackmail the civilian woman into giving Mrs. Hou medicine for premature birth."
…”
According to the woman's statement, after the child was born, she sent away all the maids who took care of the child. The person who threatened her took the child that had been prepared long ago and replaced it with the child of the Marquis.
The woman said with tears on her face, "After the incident was completed, they planned to kill people and silence them, but they couldn't do it too obviously for Madam Hou to notice that something was wrong, so they took advantage of the rainy weather and the slippery mountains to push the civilian woman down on the third day.
The cliff caused the illusion that the woman slipped and fell... Fortunately, the woman was lucky, so she fell and hung on a tree to save her life."
Nangong Xian added, "The emperor can summon Madam Hou and ask if the nanny beside her slipped from the back hill of the temple on the third day after giving birth."
Mrs. Zhang was extremely frightened, but she had no way out when she reached this point. She gritted her teeth and said, "At first, I was quite happy to have my child back, but slowly I realized that she was not like an ordinary seven or eight-year-old girl at all.
She is a child, and now I think about many of the things she did, she had someone behind her back."
"One time I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and saw her talking to a man dressed all in black hiding in a corner. The man called her Young Master... From then on, I became more and more afraid of her and always felt that something was wrong with her.
"
"Now I know, she is not my biological daughter at all."
"It's a pity that my daughter, who was still so young, died at birth."
Mrs. Zhang was crying as she rushed over and beat Shen Xingwan, "You monster, you don't know where you came from, give my daughter back..."
The accusation from his biological mother almost drove Shen Xingwan into a place of eternal doom.
Nangong Xian said coldly, "Isn't this girl going to say that your biological mother suddenly went crazy and framed you for no reason? No one in the world knows her daughter better than her own mother."
Shen Xingwan's eyes widened, "Even if three baby girls were really born on the same day in the temple, and there really were remnants of the previous dynasty among them, why do you think I am that remnant?"
"Am I really a remnant of the previous dynasty, so why would you catch me so easily? I feel like I am being pushed out as a shield to cover up the real remnant of the previous dynasty!"
She won't admit it!
Isn't it just making up stories? She can do it too!
