"Ridiculous!" His Majesty was the first to utter this word. His Majesty subconsciously refuted Ning Shu's assertion at the first instance. It wasn't that he didn't believe her words, but that it was too unbelievable.
Too unbelievable.
Six years had passed, and Wen Cairen had never been favored by him. Therefore, his impression of that average-looking woman was like the wings of a butterfly, broken and blurry. If she wasn't Changping's birth mother, he probably wouldn't even remember who she was.
He accidentally slept with her when he was drunk, and when he woke up, his first reaction was to frown. When he found out that she was pregnant, he had no choice but to make her a concubine and throw her into the harem. After that, the number of times he had slept with her could be counted with one hand. There were too many women like this in the palace. When he heard that she had died of an epidemic, it didn't even cause a ripple in his heart. He only casually ordered people to bury her and then completely threw it to the back of his mind.
He would never have thought that the ordinary and boring woman would be brought up today, and in such an unbearable way.
If what Ning Shu said was true, then what happened to Old Princess Yu thirty-eight years ago …
"My daughter's words may sound preposterous, but they are not without reason. It started from when Fourth Miss and the Thirteenth Princess fell into the water in the Imperial Garden. When Fourth Miss fell into the water, she pointed out that the Thirteenth Princess did it on purpose. The Thirteenth Princess said that she suddenly saw a poisonous bee trying to sting Fourth Miss, so she went forward to warn her. After that, I asked the Thirteenth Princess in private and found out the mystery of Wen Cairen's death. It turned out that Wen Cairen didn't die from the epidemic, but from the poison of the Ghost Head Bee! After that, I boldly examined Wen Cairen's corpse and found that the Thirteenth Princess was not lying. Moreover, I also obtained an unexpected harvest. Wen Cairen's coffin had been opened not long ago and someone had put something inside. " Ning Shu gently took out the longevity lock that had been weathered by the wind and frost for more than thirty years and presented it in front of everyone, including Old Princess Consort Yu.
Old Princess Yu's eyes were wide open as she stared fixedly at the longevity lock. It was as if she wanted to see through the longevity lock and see through the sorrow that she had been trying to escape from for many years, but had never been able to. And that sorrow was mixed with the mournful cry of a baby.
"The meaning of something like a longevity lock is too extraordinary. Normally, it would be prepared by the biological parents for the babies they are pregnant with. Wen Cairen's parents had passed away long ago. How could someone suddenly pry open her coffin and put this thing in her heart? Thus, I had a huge suspicion. But first, this conjecture was so bizarre that I didn't dare to believe it for a while. Second, other than this longevity lock, I didn't find any other sufficient evidence. Finally, the case of Wen Cai Ren and the case of the Fourth Young Miss were intertwined with each other, making it difficult for me to understand. Until I figured out the secret behind Fourth Miss's silent disappearance in Fragrant Palace — — "
"At first, I suspected that the five maidservants were in cahoots with Mother Hui, but later on, I rejected that idea. Because to succeed in this case, it wasn't something that could be done by a few lowly servants. There must be someone in a high position behind the scenes, providing help and cover for others. But who could this person be? Only you, whether it was the consort selection in Weiyang Palace, the appearance of the poisonous bees in the Imperial Garden, or the disappearance of Fragrant Palace … … The one who witnessed all of this was you, Old Princess Yu. "
"At first, my suspicion was: Could it be that you set up this revenge to stand up for the Thirteenth Princess? But on the surface, you don't seem to have any blood relations with the Thirteenth Princess. It's just a few years of friendship, so it's not enough for you to take such a big risk. Then what could be the reason? Sometimes, the most unexpected thing is the final answer. After figuring out the ins and outs of this series of cases, I immediately asked Xiahou Shizi to help me find a person, and this person was the old mama who had always served you at Yan Yun Tai. Others might not know that you were pregnant, but it definitely couldn't be hidden from that mama's eyes. And right now, that mama is in a carriage outside Xuan Qing Temple. Old Princess Yu, do you need me to invite her in for a meeting? "
"No!" Old Princess Yu almost screamed. She stumbled and was hurriedly supported by the palace servants beside her. That pair of old and unfocused eyes suddenly rolled out large drops of tears. She tightly clutched her chest, as if if she didn't do so, that old and unbearable heart would be vomited out of her mouth. "No need … …"
She forcefully closed her eyes, as if she was crying, as if she was laughing. She finally accepted the fact that she didn't want to face in this lifetime. "Yi Zhi is indeed my biological daughter. It's Changping, and also my biological granddaughter."
