In her previous life, Chu Jiuning married into the Duke of Song's Estate with tens of millions in family assets. Just as the wedding ceremony was about to begin, the Duke of Song's heir sud...
Chapter 112: The Crime Deserved
What should I do? What should I do?
If the emperor discovered the truth, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
Is blood testing really feasible?
Duke Song was sweating profusely, feeling lucky, and Eunuch Yu kicked Bai Suzhen.
"Little whore, hurry up and put on your clothes."
Said.
Eunuch Yu showed disgust and spat on her. Bai Susu was humiliated, but she could only endure it. She and Duke Song hurriedly put on their clothes.
On the road over there.
Song Jinhuai was still in high spirits, thinking that the emperor would definitely reward him with many things this time, the most important of which was a royal palace. He had already decided to go to the east of the city to pick out a big house.
However.
When he walked into the side room, the atmosphere was weird, the bed was messy, and the panicked looks of Duke Song and Bai Susu came into view. Song Jinhuai's face changed drastically and he glared at Bai Susu angrily.
It's already this time, why are you still doing this?
Are you sick for not doing it when you have such a good time? Can't you wait for another opportunity to do it later?
"Father."
Song Jinhuai's heart was in turmoil. He quickly turned around and saluted the emperor respectfully. The emperor had a gloomy face and dripped a drop of his own blood into the bowl.
Then.
Eunuch Yu then handed the dagger to Song Jinhuai.
Blood test?
Song Jinhuai showed a look of relief on his face. It would be better to have a test. After the test, he would be a legitimate prince and could ask his father for a big house.
Tick.
The blood fell into the water and swam towards the emperor's blood.
The smile on Song Jinhuai's face grew deeper and deeper, while Bai Susu hurried over. Both mother and son stared at the two drops of blood, except for Duke Song, who fell to the ground and trembled.
Chu Jiuning and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at each other, and both felt that something was unusual.
Bai Suzhen and the other two were full of confidence, but Duke Song looked uneasy. Why?
They all looked at Song Jinhuai.
Really?
"Huh."
A look of horror appeared on Eunuch Yu's face.
"Your Majesty, why don't the blood mix?"
The emperor sneered.
"This is not simple, it means he is not my offspring at all."
"That's impossible."
Song Jinhuai rushed over, staring at the bowl intently, and even blew into it, trying desperately to make the two drops of blood merge together.
He was anxious.
He put his fingers into the water and stirred it, but the two blood beads rolled in opposite directions.
Eunuch Yu looked at Song Jinhuai coldly, his voice shrill and sinister.
"Impersonating the royal family is also a serious crime."
Duke Song's forehead almost touched the cold ground, his eyes tightly closed, and his deep resentment only burst out at this moment.
He has been planning this for so long.
After he knew that the emperor favored Bai Suzhen, he quickly found four or five concubines, two of whom became pregnant at the same time as Bai Suzhen and gave birth to sons at the same time.
On the day Bai Susu gave birth, he bribed the midwife to switch his son with Bai Susu's.
so.
Song Jinhuai is his biological son.
The emperor's sinister eyes fell on Duke Song and pointed at him.
"Take his blood."
Duke Song's face suddenly turned pale.
Eunuch Yu raised his hand, and the palace servant immediately stepped forward to grab his hand, cut off the blood, poured it into a bowl, and then took Song Jinhuai's blood.
Just a moment.
Their blood mixed together.
Pop.
The emperor swept the things away, the bowl broke, the water splashed, and he trembled uncontrollably.
Bai Su Su watched the scene with gritted teeth, then looked at Song Jinhuai and shook her head like crazy.
"Impossible, impossible."
She was very sure that she had given birth to a son for the emperor, indeed a son.
"Your Majesty, I have only ever been with you. Even with him, it was only after I gave birth to our son. Therefore, the child can only be yours. There is absolutely no way I could be wrong."
If Song Jinhuai is not his son, then where is his son?
Bai Suzhen's mind went blank. In panic, she rushed to Duke Song, grabbed his clothes and screamed.
"Where is my son? You replaced my son, didn't you? You are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor. You will die without a burial place."
Duke Song also knew at this moment that if the emperor believed that Bai Suzhen had indeed given birth to a son for him, he would definitely investigate him strictly.
To the end.
He also cannot escape death.
After struggling.
He could only speak the truth.
"On the Zhuangzi."
As he said this, he looked towards the emperor, his eyes full of sadness.
"I have trained him well. If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can test his knowledge yourself."
Bai Suzhen suddenly fell to the ground. She had been separated from her son for twenty years, but she had no idea about it. She was still planning for this adopted son named Song.
If the plan succeeds, then the one who will become His Royal Highness Prince Chang will be his biological son, whose surname is Song.
Twenty years.
Duke Song has plenty of time to cultivate feelings with her son and make him loyal, and Song Jinhuai will definitely blame and hate himself.
In the end, she was left with nothing.
"Where is he now?"
The emperor was frighteningly calm at this moment. He had no expectations and no feelings towards Bai Suzhen and her son.
"In the mansion."
Outside the door.
When Chu Jiuning heard these words, she looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and a face appeared in both of their minds. That face was drawn by Chu Jiuning. When they were in Dajue Temple, Duke Song was with that young man.
I'm afraid it's him.
Hearing footsteps, Chu Jiuning turned around.
A young man dressed in snow-white, with a slender figure and handsome appearance, walked slowly towards this side. After glancing at Chu Jiuning, he walked straight into the house and paid his respects to the emperor.
The emperor was cold and stern, sitting upright on a chair, looking at the young man kneeling on the ground.
Without any hesitation, I took another blood test.
This time.
The blood of the emperor and that of the young man merged.
Bai Suzhen, who was sweating profusely, finally came back to her senses and hurried over to hold the boy's hand.
"I am your mother. I am your mother."
As long as he is there, the emperor will never kill them. After all, they are his sons.
Song Qinghuai lowered his eyes.
He looked at the mother calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes. Instead, when she grabbed hold of him, he gently struggled free.
Bai Suzhen was anxious and panicked.
She took another step forward and wanted to grab his hand, but Song Qinghuai still took a step back and bowed to her.
"Although you gave birth to me, you didn't raise me or teach me. I grew up in Zhuangzi and knew what etiquette, integrity, loyalty, and filial piety were. But you, on the other hand, have done so many evil things. Now you want to use me to ask the emperor to spare your life. Even if I agree, the emperor will not agree."
Bai Suzhen looked at her son in shock as if she had been struck by lightning.
What is he talking about?
Does he know that saying this will kill himself?
really.
The emperor sneered.
Bai Suzhen rushed to the emperor and knelt at his feet.
"Your Majesty, there really is a misunderstanding here. I really didn't bribe the assassin, I really didn't. I... I just told Yueya to rush forward to protect Your Majesty if he was in any danger. I didn't do anything else."
"good."
The emperor nodded.
"I don't care about these."
Hope filled Bai Su Su's eyes. See, it was said that the emperor had feelings for her and would not let her die.
"But as a concubine, you had an affair with a court official, not only losing the royal heir, but also confusing the royal heirs. These crimes must be punished."
The hope on Bai Susu's face was shattered in an instant. She looked at Song Qinghuai with pleading in her eyes.
But.
Song Qinghuai didn't even look at her, but just stood there quietly.
"First, demote Bai Susu and Song Jinhuai to commoners."
The emperor looked at Song Qinghuai again.
"As for you, retain your status as the Prince of Song. The royal family has nothing to do with you from now on. If you dare to use the royal family's reputation to do anything in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Song Qinghuai's white robe fluttered lightly as he walked to the emperor, knelt gently, and kowtowed three times.
"Son, thank you father for not killing me."
then.
He kowtowed three more times.
"Qinghuai thanks the emperor for not killing me."
The first one is the son's thanks to his father, and the second one is the minister's son's thanks to the emperor. After both thanks, from then on, he and the emperor are no longer blood relatives and have nothing to do with each other.
Chu Jiuning reached out and brushed the Crown Prince's sleeve.
This guy is playing tricks on me.
The prince patted the back of her hand, signaling her to be at ease.
As long as everything is under control, there is no need to panic.
The emperor was originally full of expectations for Bai Suzhen and her son, and was also deeply affectionate towards them, but suddenly his mood took a turn for the worse. Now he wanted to kill them, but this son was as light as dust, well-behaved and introverted. When he thanked him just now, his voice was choked with sobs. I'm afraid the emperor's heart will still be softened by him.
"Your Majesty, Qinghuai has an excessive request."
"you say."
The emperor was indeed touched.
"When the Song family asked for a marriage, they were asking for the legitimate son, not the illegitimate son. Song Jinhuai's identity is now clear, so this marriage should not be his."
"Song Qinghuai, what are you going to do?"
When Song Jinhuai heard this, his eyes turned red with anxiety. Now only Chu Jiuning could help him.
"kindness."
The emperor nodded, saying that this was indeed a good point.
"Therefore, I ask His Majesty to rule that the marriage between Song Jinhuai and Chu Jiuning will not be counted. She, Chu Jiuning, should be my wife."
Chu Jiuning was listening at the door, feeling angry and amused at the same time. How could she be considered a commodity?
Can it be bought and pushed around?
The emperor was in deep thought.
However, Song Qinghuai turned his head to look at Chu Jiuning at the door. There was elegance in his eyes and brows, and he was like a completely different person from the sinister one last time.
His rank.
It should be much higher than the favored Song Jinhuai.
"Well, the marriage between Song Jinhuai and Chu Jiuning can indeed be canceled."
As soon as the emperor said this.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the door suddenly spread out his sleeves, his whole body shrouded in coldness, and stepped into the room.
His aura was so strong that it forced the emperor to frown slightly.
"Father, how about Bai Susu being put in the water dungeon?"
The prince used his words and aura to interrupt the emperor's two trains of thought.
When the emperor heard that the bitch had been plotting against him his whole life, he was so furious that he would rather be put in a water dungeon or a fire dungeon.
Bai Suzhen kowtowed hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, please don't kill me."
Then he looked at Chu Jiuning again.
"I beg you, Jiu Ning, you can help us, you can save us, right?"
Chu Jiuning had no expression on her face.
"Why should I help you?"
Bai Suzhen looked at her son Song Qinghuai again, but Song Qinghuai had just helped Duke Song up. The two stood together and no longer looked at her.
Bai Suzhen looked around at everyone in front of her.
Despair came like a tide.
Chu Jiuning watched quietly, clenching her long fingers tightly.
This look.
So familiar.
Just like in her previous life, she was so desperate and so scared.
The only difference is.
Bai Suzhen deserves it!
