Chapter 625: Conspiracy
"Shen Jingting is not your son?" Shen Jinzhou's words completely stunned the emperor, "How is it possible?" β
The emperor doesn't believe it, it's not his son, he can let Shen Jingting be his son-in-law? Still like that for him? You must know that Shen Jingting is now the concubine of the Marquis of Changning, if there is no accident, the entire Marquis of Changning Mansion will be his.
Who would give away their fortune to an outsider?
Shen Jinzhou looked at him deeply and replied, "What the minister said is true, he is not my son. β
I don't know what's going on, the emperor felt that Shen Jinzhou looked at him with a thousand words in his eyes. He frowned and asked, "If it's not your son, then whose son is it?" And if he is not your son, why do you want him to take your place as the eldest son? β
The eldest son is extremely important to both the noble family and the common people. If it is said that Shen Jinzhou has no children or no sons-in-law, he can still understand. But that's not the case, which is quite puzzling.
Shen Jinzhou didn't answer immediately, in fact, he was very entangled at the moment.
Thinking of Shen Jingting's life experience, he wanted to speak but didn't want to speak.
The emperor looked at the tangled look on his face and became more and more curious, this Shen Jinzhou has always acted decisively, when has he ever seen him so entangled?
Could it be that there are any unspeakable secrets hidden in this Shen Jingting's identity?
"Changning Hou, what are you?"
The emperor's voice woke Shen Jinzhou up, and he watched the emperor suddenly slam and kneel down again.
The emperor was taken aback by his sudden movements, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing here?" Just say anything. The sudden appearance of this made his little heart beat with it.
"Your Majesty, what the minister is going to say next may be unbelievable. However, the minister still asked the emperor to believe that every word of what the minister said was true, and there was absolutely no falsehood. After hearing this, if the emperor wants to punish the minister, the minister is willing to be punished. Shen Jinzhou's expression was very serious, with the determination to break the boat.
He knew that things had come to this point, and sooner or later the truth would come out. Rather than wait for the emperor to find out for himself, he should take the initiative to tell him. As for his and Wanwan's affairs, it may also be exposed, but he can't care so much.
Shen Jinzhou believed that Wanwan would also approve of him doing this under Jiuquan.
The emperor was shocked by Shen Jinzhou's serious appearance, and he looked at Shen Jinzhou. Guess what exactly he did? Why did you put on such a posture?
The emperor thought for a moment and spoke: "You can speak first." He wanted to see what shocking things Shen Jinzhou could say, to see if he could afford it!
Shen Jinzhou took a deep breath and finally spoke: "Ting'er, he is the emperor's son." β
Shen Jinzhou's words fell, and the entire imperial study fell silent.
It's a kind of stillness that you can hear when you drop a needle.
The atmosphere of the whole study has also become extremely strange.
Father-in-law De, who was listening in the imperial study, was so shocked that he reached out and covered his mouth, so he didn't make a movement.
Oh my God, what did he hear?
The Marquis of Changning actually said that Shen Shaoqing was the emperor's son?
How is thisβhow is this possible?
Not only was Father-in-law De shocked as if he was stunned, but the emperor didn't come back to his senses for a long time. When he came back from his thoughts, his twin dragon eyes looked at Shen Jinzhou coldly, and said, "Changning Hou, do you know what you're talking about?" β
Shen Jingting is his son? How can it be? How could his son be left outside the palace?
What's more, he didn't have an affair with any woman outside the palace at all, so how could he give birth to Shen Jingting? Not to mention that Shen Jingting was brought back to the Hou Mansion by Shen Jinzhou and raised as the eldest son?
The emperor felt that Shen Jinzhou was completely joking, and even became suspicious of him at this moment.
He, there shouldn't be some conspiracy, right?
Looking at the emperor's disbelieving and skeptical gaze, Shen Jinzhou smiled bitterly. He also hopes that Ting'er is his own son, his own son and Wanwan's own son. But he is not, he has the emperor's blood in his body. He is a noble prince and does not deserve to be locked up in a cold prison.
"Your Majestyβ" Shen Jinzhou continued to kneel, and then kowtowed to the emperor before looking at him and said, "Even if the minister has a hundred guts, he will not dare to deceive the emperor, Ting'er, no, Tinggongzi is really your child." β
The emperor knew Shen Jinzhou for decades and had fought side by side on the battlefield. He understands Shen Jinzhou's personality, and he is indeed not a person who can deceive people. It's just that he still thinks it's incredible, how can Shen Jingting be his son.
The emperor's thoughts were very confused, and he waved his hand towards Shen Jinzhou and said, "Let me slow down first." β
Shen Jinzhou stopped talking.
The emperor himself guessed there for a long time, but still couldn't guess a clue. Looking at Shen Jinzhou's appearance again, he also breathed hard before saying, "Say, why is he my child?" β
It sounded a little ridiculous, he didn't know why he had such a child as Shen Jingting.
But that's exactly what happened.
"Your Majesty, Son Ting, he, he is Qi Zhaoyi and your son." Shen Jinzhou said that when he mentioned Qi Wanwan, he still felt a lot of pain in his heart. If he hadn't come back a step later, Wanwan would not have been sent to the palace by his father to participate in the draft, let alone die under the pressure of the harem, and Ting'er would really be his and Wanwan's son.
"Qi Zhaoyi?" The emperor was stunned, his harem was not numerous. has really spoiled Qi Wanwan for a while, but Qi Wanwan has been dead for twenty years after all, and he doesn't have much impression of her.
Looking at the emperor's unremembered appearance, Shen Jinzhou felt aggrieved and distressed for Qi Wanwan in his heart. However, his face still didn't change, but he just explained his confusion for him: "Your Majesty, Qi Zhaoyi is the daughter of Qi Zhengsheng, the magistrate of Hui County. Later, he entered the palace for the draft, and finally became your Zhaoyi. β
After listening to Shen Jinzhou's words, the emperor also remembered: "Shen Shaoqing is the son of me and Wanwan?" β
The emperor also liked Qi Wanwan for a period of time before, after all, Qi Wanwan's appearance is captivating, although he was born in a family of seven-grade officials, but he is versatile and has a gentle and kind temperament
Good. is as innocent as a white rabbit, and the emperor naturally likes it. This also allowed her to be promoted to the position of Zhaoyi step by step, but she was famous, and later died of dystocia during childbirth.
Thinking of Qi Wanwan, the emperor felt a little sad in his heart.
"You said that Shen Shaoqing was the son of me and Wanwan, but I clearly remember that Wanwan gave birth to a stillborn baby when she had a difficult birth. How could it be Shen Shaoqing? How was he taken to the Hou Mansion by you? β
The emperor was skeptical of Shen Jinzhou's words, but in his mind, he was comparing Shen Jingting with Qi Wanwan, as well as himself. Then he found out that Shen Jingting did have something like him and Qi Wanwan in his appearance, but it was not too obvious, so he hadn't thought about it before.
