Chapter Ninety-Six: The Truth<上>

It turned out to be a tsundere prince?!

In the middle of the night, what did he do in the cold palace alone?

She looked at the tsundere prince in amazement, he was expressionless in the moonlight, walked straight to the door of the concubine, pushed the door in, and then turned and closed the door.

Lonely men and widows, living in the same room......

A fragrant picture was suddenly drawn in her mind, and she instantly felt that the top of her head was green. Although she is in a cold war with the tsundere prince, he can't be so hungry...... There are so many delicate little palace maids in the palace, and his taste is too peculiar!

She was thinking wildly, hesitating whether she should rush over and kick the door open, when she heard the master ask her in a low voice, "Little apprentice, do you want to know why your husband came here in the middle of the night?" ”

She immediately nodded like pounded garlic, think about it, of course she thinks!

Master pointed to the dilapidated window that was leaking, "...... Go and see for yourself, but be careful, don't let the people inside find out. ”

She is very aggrieved in her heart, is it okay to be a main house? Listening to the meaning of the dead old man, he can't kick the door in openly, catch the people inside, and beat him up?

But the grievances were aggrieved, and seeing that the dead old man's expression was so solemn, she still quietly moved to the window and looked in through the hole in the window.

From this angle, she could only see Concubine Shu sitting sideways on the edge of the bed, with a graceful posture. is worthy of being the favorite concubine of the harem for many years, and her figure is well-maintained and uneven.

The light in the room was dim, and she couldn't see Concubine Shu's expression clearly, but her tone sounded a little flustered, and she exclaimed, "Why are you here?!" ”

Well? Wasn't the person she wanted to see in the first place the tsundere prince?

From Xia Taozhi's angle, he could only see a corner of the tsundere prince's clothes, he sat a little far away from Concubine Shu, and the flickering candle flame cast his silhouette on the ground, flickering and dimming a little unreal.

Xia Taozhi sneered when she heard him, and she didn't have to think about it to know that he must have his signature cheap smile on his face at this moment.

"Concubine Niangniang seems disappointed to see this king? How...... Do you think your father will come to see you? You should know that he is so disgusted with you......"

"You ......" Concubine Shu gritted her silver teeth with hatred, she never thought that Emperor Chu would be so ruthless to her, and he wouldn't even give her the last chance? Also, since ancient times, emperors have been affectionate, and even the concubine he loved so much back then was ruthless not to see her for the last time. Why do you think that her cold husband will come to the cold palace to see her?

But she thought that the big secret she held in her hands could save her son's life. She finally managed to find a way to ask someone to take the secret letter out of the cold palace, but she didn't want Emperor Chu to come, but it was this person she didn't want to see the most!

Concubine Shu said viciously: "Then what are you going to do?" Hongu doesn't want to see you, get out of here! ”

The tsundere prince smiled lightly and said, "Concubine Shu is so angry, do you want to come to your cold palace when you are the king?" This king is just curious, what is the big secret related to this king's life experience mentioned in the letter? ”

Concubine Shu's expression panicked.

"You...... You actually peeked at the secret letter from the palace to the emperor......"

"This is all thanks to the lady concubine, you poisoned your father, causing your father's body to deteriorate, and now you have handed over all the affairs of the court to this king to take care of, everything is over the eyes of this king, how can it be regarded as peeking?"

"You ......"

Concubine Shu's chest rose and fell violently, and she trembled with anger.

Xia Taozhi is anxious for Concubine Shu outside the window, how can she be the opponent of the tsundere prince? You must know that the mouth of the green bamboo snake and the needle behind the tail of the wasp are neither poisonous, but the most poisonous Song Yuanxi......

"So, Concubine Niangniang, why don't you tell this king, what is the big secret you are talking about?"

"Are you stupid for Hongu? If this palace says it, you will definitely kill this palace! ”

"Concubine Niangniang is a ......person who understands," the tsundere prince said in a mocking tone, "Don't say it, the king also knows what you want to say." ”

"You, you know?"

"Of course this king knows, and this king also knows that Concubine Xian did not die in childbirth back then, but was killed by you!"

Concubine Shu's face instantly turned pale as paper, her lips trembled, and she kept shaking.

Xia Taozhi felt strange, why did the tsundere prince say "Concubine Xian" instead of "Mother Concubine", even if Concubine Shu knew that Song Yuanxi was not born to Emperor Chu, at least he was also the son of Concubine Xian, he should call Concubine Xian his mother.

"Ben...... Hongu ...... I don't know, you ...... You're talking about...... What to say? ”

"Do you still want to pretend to be stupid? Does this king have to come up with evidence for the lady to admit it? The tsundere prince said as he took out something from his arms and threw it at the feet of the concubine with a "clang". Concubine Shu looked down, and was instantly frightened, holding her legs and shrinking to the bed, not daring to look.

What is it that scares Concubine Shu like this?

Xia Taozhi looked at it curiously, and after just one glance, she was cold, and she shivered slightly.

It was a token, exactly the same one she had found in the ruins of Yudong Village. Seeing this token again after many years, the tragic past of Yudong Village flashed in her mind one by one, and the past came to her heart, and her heart was like a knife.

"Can the lady recognize this?"

"Ben, this palace doesn't recognize ......"

"It seems that Concubine Shu is old and has a bad memory, so the king will come to help Concubine Shu Niangniang recall her memories......" The tsundere prince stood up and paced two steps forward, revealing half of his side face.

His expression was cold and frightening, his eyes were blazing with coldness, and his words were as cold as ice.

"Twenty years ago, when Concubine Xian was about to give birth, it was you who bought the midwife, and put your hands and feet in the decoction of inducing labor, so that Concubine Xian was bleeding profusely when she gave birth, and finally Concubine Xian struggled in pain for three hours before swallowing her breath...... You were worried that if Concubine Xian gave birth to a prince, it would definitely threaten your son, and you planned to get rid of the newborn baby as well. Unexpectedly, Concubine Xian gave birth to a princess, and you were overjoyed, so you were so merciful that you spared the baby's life. When the tsundere prince said this, the corners of his lips curled, and he actually laughed, which was Xia Taozhi's familiar smile: "This king really wants to thank Concubine Shu's subordinates for showing mercy back then and letting that little princess live......"

Xia Taozhi heard it in a fog, what was the tsundere prince talking about? How did Concubine Xian give birth to a princess?

Concubine Shu finally had a little reaction at this time, and she said hatefully: "In that case, what kind of account do you still come to the palace?" The left and right have nothing to do with you, you are the son of a commoner, pretending to be a prince of royal blood, and have been a prince for twenty years in vain, what are you not satisfied with? ”

The tsundere prince sneered, "You're right, this king should be satisfied." Because of this, over the years, you and your son have secretly and unscrupulously poisoned this king, making this king a waste who can only lie in bed. You say, "Should this king settle this account with you?" ”

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said: "You confuse the royal bloodline, you deserve to die!" This palace didn't go to the emperor to expose you, it's already the palace that is extraordinarily gracious, and now you are still coming to take revenge? ”

"You're extra kind?" The tsundere prince raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Don't you dare, you are afraid that if this king is exposed, your killing of Concubine Xian will also be found out, and then the fish will die and the net will be broken, and it will not be good for you......"

Concubine Shu stopped talking, gritting her teeth and not saying a word.

"Back then, Concubine Xian's personal maidservant Ziyu escaped from the palace with the little princess she had just given birth. By the time you come to your senses, the little princess has become a little prince. Of course, you know that this king is not of royal blood, so you are not worried that this king will threaten your son, you only need to secretly spread the rumors that Concubine Xian had an affair with Pei Fuma, so that the emperor will be haunted by the events of the year, and then resent this king and ignore it. On the other hand, you hope that this king can live, and if this king dies, Empress Xue and the former prince will turn their guns against your mother and son. This is also the reason why even if you poison this king, you will not kill him, is this king right? ”

Concubine Shu had nothing to say.

Xia Taozhi understood, and after a long time, Song Yuanxi was not only not the biological son of Emperor Chu, but also not the birth of Concubine Xian. It's all an impostor, and the real royal descendant is a princess, a princess who has just been born and left the palace. But with all that said, what does it have to do with that token? She didn't care about any princess at all, she just wanted to know where the token came from.

She hoped that the tsundere prince would talk about the token soon, but the tsundere prince's words changed sharply, and he actually talked about the affairs of the concubine's maiden family again.

"As far as this king knows, Concubine Shu's biological mother and a housemother of the Xiao family are good sisters who marry Jinlan. That Mrs. Xiao never had an heir, and your biological mother passed on her youngest daughter to that Mrs. Xiao. ”

Concubine Shu's face faded with blood, and she looked at the person in front of her dumbfounded, her eyes full of disbelief.

The corners of the tsundere prince's lips hooked up with a mocking sneer, "Concubine Shu must be very curious, why even this king knows about this secret, right?" In fact, this king not only knows this, this king also knows that your sister later married the general Wu Bi, and they also gave birth to a son named Wu Geng. ”

"Originally, Wu Bi had the care of the Xiao family and you, and he went all the way to the top, and his official fortune was prosperous. It's a pity that he had bad luck that year, and he met Prince Xitu leading his troops to go out, and in that battle, the Eastern Chu army was almost wiped out, and Wu Bi was beaten to the point of urine, and fled back with his tail between his legs. The emperor was furious and wanted to behead him all over the house, and at the critical moment, it was you who hid their son Wu Geng, and exchanged Wu Bi and your sister with the lives of two death row prisoners. It's a pity that it didn't take long for your sister to die of depression...... You sent Wu Bi's only son, Wu Geng, to the mountains to learn art, and after completing your studies, you installed him in the East Palace to be your eyeliner, and renamed him Xuanyuan Geng......"

Xia Taozhi was stunned, it turned out that Xuanyuan Geng turned out to be Wu Geng......

No wonder the pattern of the jade pendant on his neck will be the same as the one on the token, no wonder Xiao Lianxu will say that he has seen this jade pendant in the Xiao family before, no wonder Xuanyuan Geng will go to the border to assassinate Prince Xitu to avenge his parents, everything can be right......

The tsundere prince continued: "And Wu Bi can only be incognito, becoming a disgraceful person, who has been hiding outside the palace to do things for you. Every time you ask Wu Bi to do something for you, ask your personal maid Yan Wan to take this token out to convey your orders. The little princess who escaped from the palace as soon as she was born has always been a piece of your heart, and you are afraid that she will come back to you to avenge her mother when she grows up, so you are determined to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! You asked Wu Bi to look for you everywhere to find the whereabouts of the little princess who was born to Concubine Xian back then. Finally, the hard work paid off, and you found out that Ziyu was hiding in a small village called Yudong Village......"
