Concubine Shu was upset and said: "It's been many years since this happened. What's the use of bringing it up now?"
Prince Xiang said: "It's not that I want to find out, but my father has already found out."
"Second brother..." The Ninth Prince was shocked.
"Do you think my father, who has always doted on Thirteen, was punished so severely this time? On the surface, it was because of what happened last night, but in fact, he was punished for several crimes at the same time."
Prince Xiang said coldly, "Dongxiang's incident is just one of them. She has also done other things, as well as the things my mother and concubine have done to protect her and cover up others' eyes over the years. My father has also been included.
That’s why I said that my father has already spared the world, and it’s useless for anyone to plead for mercy!”
The Ninth Prince was shocked and speechless for a moment.
Concubine Shu's expression suddenly twisted, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty will not investigate these old things about sesame seeds and rotten millet for no reason. Someone must have tipped off your Majesty, which made your Majesty suspicious!"
King Xiang: "..."
He rubbed his brows feebly and sighed.
The Ninth Prince asked: "Who reported the letter?"
"Who else could be there besides Concubine Wen, that bitch!" Concubine Shu said bitterly, "She has always been at odds with me! Thirteen had offended the Eighth Princess before. That bitch must have revenge on her, and maybe even Thirteen's
She also designed things."
The Ninth Prince's eyes turned dark, "Concubine, then let's..."
Prince Xiang interrupted: "Mother, concubine, please don't talk to Xiaojiu about such baseless things."
After saying that, he frowned and looked at the Ninth Prince again, and said, "In matters in the palace, what you hear is false, and what you see is true. Don't take everything you hear as true."
Ninth Prince: "..." Does this mean that the mother-in-law lied to him?
Concubine Shu said angrily: "What do you mean without foundation? Besides that bitch Concubine Wen, who else in this palace would frame my mother and daughter? She must have done it!"
King Xiang said, "Do you have any evidence?"
Concubine Shu was speechless: "..."
"Even my father didn't find any signs of man-made things about what happened last night. The only witness was killed by my mother-in-law in a fit of anger. Now there is no proof. Even if we suspect that it was Concubine Wen who did it, we can't produce any evidence."
.”
King Xiang said calmly.
He had even worse things to say.
Why did Concubine Wen target Concubine Shu and her daughter? Was it because of the trouble caused by the thirteenth princess?
She had fallen in love with Wen Shaoqing before and wanted to poach the eighth princess.
Concubine Wen didn't even bother with her.
Who knew that she would go so far as to want to harm the eighth princess, who was Concubine Wen's only daughter for many years in the palace. How could Concubine Wen not hold a grudge?
No one is a saint.
When Concubine Shu and the Ninth Prince were kneeling in front of Emperor Zhaoming's palace to plead for mercy.
Although King Xiang did not appear, it does not mean that he did nothing.
After all, she was his biological sister, and since her biological mother and younger brother were involved, Prince Xiang couldn't stand by and watch, so he secretly spent a lot of effort investigating.
He didn't find enough evidence to overturn the case, but he did find that there were traces of people from Wenxiu Palace in what happened last night.
In other words.
Concubine Wen had a hand in the matter of the Thirteenth Princess.
Emperor Zhaoming suddenly thought of looking up what the Thirteenth Princess had done before, and Concubine Wen's handwriting was indispensable among them.
It's just that time is too hasty.
King Xiang failed to find out how Concubine Wen did it. He originally wanted to find a solution from the eunuch, but he was killed directly by Concubine Shu...
Incompetent bungler!
King Xiang really didn't know what to say except sighing.
Concubine Shu became angry: "Do you mean to blame me?!"
King Xiang said: "I'm just saying that my father will not believe anyone's one-sided words without proof."
Concubine Shu said without thinking: "Your Majesty has always been generous. As long as I beg you hard, he will definitely..."
