The logo of Tao Tao Ji is not conspicuous, but it is like a heavy hammer that hits the heart of the King of Nan'an! Whose is Tao Tao Ji?

The business of the Crown Princess of the Tianwu Dynasty!

According to Concubine Xian, this was a gift she had someone custom-made for Princess Ningfeng on her first birthday.

It stands to reason that it is reasonable for Tao Tao Ji to customize jewelry for people.

But the necklace that was pieced together was carved with a phoenix - the phoenix pattern could only be used by the queen!

(Emperor Tianwu: I don’t have a queen, I can use whoever I want!)

The King of Nan'an didn't waste any words and directly pushed the pieced-together necklace to Concubine Xian to see.

"Did you see it clearly? Did you really order this for Princess Ningfeng?"

Concubine Xian leaned over to take a closer look and was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, I was mistaken... This... This is about the same size as mine, I didn't see it clearly at the moment..."

"Mine is not Phoenix's..."

Customize a necklace with a phoenix pattern for your daughter?

I don't want to commit suicide.

The King of Nan'an thought so too.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhengui were not on good terms, and she probably wanted to take the opportunity to kill the little prince, so she framed him.

The King of Nan'an asked people to light several lights and identify it carefully: it was indeed the logo of Tao Tao Ji.

Excluding the possibility that it was custom-made by Concubine Xian, could this be something from the Tianwu royal family?

I heard that Prince Tianwu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, some time ago. Could these be Princess Tianwu’s?

Princess Tianwu’s necklace is in the hands of Concubine Zhengui and the little prince. What does this mean?

The Tianwu royal family has taken a fancy to the little prince?

Want to arrange a marriage for their little princess?

The two children are of similar age, and Concubine Zhengui was also favored a few months ago... It's really possible!

If anything happens to the little prince, will the Tianwu royal family go to war with the Nangan Kingdom?

The King of Nan'an was terrified.

Previously, Concubine Xian found evidence and confirmed that Concubine Zhengui had an affair with a guard. The little prince was not the heir to the throne, but the illegitimate child of the affair with the guard.

Concubine Zhengui was convicted for this and died in the cold palace a few days later. Her family was also confiscated and exterminated.

Because of doubts about the little prince's bloodline, he was intentionally or unintentionally left in the cold palace.

The existence of such a shame should be let alone death, and the King of Nannan originally planned to pretend that he didn't know.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Xian suddenly brought the fragment of the red gold and precious necklace, saying that Concubine Zhengui had someone steal it...

Pulling his thoughts back to his senses, the King of Nan'an began the interrogation.

"Where did this thing come from?"

The nanny understood: this red gold and treasure necklace was very important, so important that even His Majesty could not ignore it.

"This was left by Concubine Zhengui. It was originally intended for the young prince, but the young prince and I were cold and hungry, and hadn't eaten for two days. We had no choice but to take it out and exchange it for some food and bedding..."

Before the nanny had finished speaking, the little prince suddenly spoke up: "Nanny, you are lying! You taught me not to lie, but you lied yourself!"

The nanny's face turned pale, and she almost begged: "Your Highness, you don't understand these things..."

The Lord of Nan'an waved his hand and pointed at the little prince: "Tell me, where did this thing come from?"

The little prince explained earnestly: "It's what a little princess wears around her neck. She suddenly appeared in front of me, fragrant and soft..."

"I was very hungry, so I asked her for this collar in exchange for some food."

"She took it down only after she promised me to do so."

The nanny looked as pale as death: It's over, no one can save me and the little prince now.

My lady, I am so sorry for you...

The King of Nan'an and all the concubines were stunned:...

After all, he is a five-year-old child. Maybe he is hallucinating because he is so hungry?

Who can believe this?

Everyone believed the nanny's words even more.

The Lord of Nan'an looked at the nanny and asked, "Where did this thing, Concubine Zhengui, come from?"

The nanny used to serve Concubine Zhengui and was deeply trusted by her.

Since the nanny hid it so well and never took it out until absolutely necessary, it must have an extraordinary origin.

The nanny stammered, not expecting that things would finally turn around?

Her mind raced, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know when Your Majesty got it. The exact time should be..."

"A few days after the old lady from the Imperial Concubine's family entered the palace, Imperial Concubine Gui gave this thing to me to keep."

Anyway, the imperial concubine's family had been ransacked and exterminated, and the old lady had become a rotting corpse in a mass grave, with no evidence left.

It's enough to be somewhat true.

Your Majesty, please fill in the rest in your minds.

Sure enough, the Lord of Nan'an thought carefully. Tao Tao Ji's shop on the main street of the capital city was doing a booming business. The imperial concubine's family went to Tao Tao Ji to buy things, and it was possible that they met the Fu family father and son from Tianwu...

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed right, and the King of Nan'an began to sweat again.

He clenched his fists and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Yuan'er, why are you wearing so little?"

The little prince looked down at himself and saw that only his white pajamas were left on him, as the rest of his large sweaters had been exchanged for food.

"Reporting to the Emperor, my son's clothes have been exchanged for stone rice."

"Stone rice?" The King of Nan'an was stunned for a moment and looked at the nanny: What does it mean?

The nanny kowtowed and explained: "Your Majesty, the cold palace only has one meal a day, and it is mixed with sand."

"The young prince was so hungry that he had to exchange his brocade robe for food. The food he exchanged was sand rice. The young prince said that the sand was too big and it should be called stone rice..."

The little prince nodded immediately: "Reporting to the emperor, my son ate the sandy rice and can't poop..."

The nanny's eyes turned red: How can you not poop after eating sandy rice?

It’s all because I eat too little and don’t have much poop…

At this time, Concubine Xian had already sensed that something was wrong with the attitude of the King of Nannan, and she panicked.

"Your Majesty, I did not ask them to cut back on food!"

This is true: As a royal concubine, why does she need to say it in person?

All it takes is a glance and someone will be so "sensible" as to start taking the initiative to climb up the social ladder and trample on the weak.

The Lord of Nan'an did not respond: "Come here! Go get the little prince's old clothes and wash him and change him into them."

The little prince had encountered a great change, and he was no longer as naive as an ordinary child. He immediately took advantage of the situation.

"Your Majesty, I am very hungry. Can you give me something to eat? As long as it is not stone rice, I can eat it..."

"Stone rice is also fine..."

"My son is no longer picky about food."

The King of Nan'an suddenly remembered that his youngest son was a very picky eater. He refused to eat anything and became very thin.

In the past, Concubine Zhengui always complained to the King of Nan'an: "Your Majesty, look at this child. He is always so picky about food. What can we do?"

It turns out that after this period of time, he ate everything?

At this time, the nanny also began to kowtow frantically.

"Your Majesty, the little prince is your own son! That guard must have been threatened or bribed!"

"He has only sent things to our palace twice, and both times, when he was on duty, the imperial concubine's family asked him to pass them on..."

"The Imperial Concubine is innocent!"

"Your Highness has a black mole on his buttocks. The Imperial Concubine said that it is in the same place as yours, and even the shape is exactly the same..."

After saying this, the expression of the King of Nan'an changed.

Yeah, how could I forget?!

There was a black mole on his buttocks, and Concubine Zhengui once made fun of him, saying that the young prince had learned nothing else but a black mole.

This can't be a coincidence, but why did I forget it?

Why did people suspect that Concubine Zhengui was having an affair?

Yes, it was Ningcui, the personal maid in Concubine Zhengui’s palace, who testified against her.

He suddenly frowned, as if remembering something: "Where is Ning Cui?" (End of this chapter)
