Chapter 175 Frame-up
"Your Highness, don't worry! I will not keep this child! He is a bastard. I will get rid of him with a bowl of fertilization soup when I go back!" Seeing that the matter was exposed, Chen Ping'er had to make a serious promise to the Sixth Prince.
Although the Sixth Prince has been demoted now, he is still a prince after all, and she dare not offend him.
However, the Sixth Prince remained silent after hearing this. After being angry for a while, he frowned, thought quietly, and made a decision that surprised and frightened Chen Ping'er.
The Sixth Prince said to Chen Ping'er, "No need! You have to keep this child. Since he is the offspring of the King of Qin, I will naturally make good use of him. If I can use this to destroy the King of Qin, maybe I will have hope of returning in the future."
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?" Chen Ping'er looked at the Sixth Prince in some surprise.
The baby in her belly was not the King of Qin's, so how could she frame him? But she didn't dare to tell the truth, fearing that she would die a more miserable death.
The Sixth Prince smiled sinisterly and said, "I'll ask your sister to come back and take you to the Emperor to complain that the King of Qin insulted you and didn't want to take responsibility. With such a reputation, the King of Qin will naturally not be able to marry into the Duke of Ying's Mansion. At that time, he will have only two choices, either marry you or ruin his own future. However, I think he will most likely marry you. After you marry him, I will find an opportunity to give the King of Qin a slow-acting poison to kill him. If the King of Qin dies, only the King of Yu will be the only one in power. At that time, I will have people spread the King of Yu's ambitions to make my father misunderstand. Maybe my father will let me go back to balance the court."
"But...what if the King of Qin doesn't recognize it?" Chen Ping'er said somewhat guiltily.
The Sixth Prince sneered and said, "You already have a baby in your belly, so he can't deny it! During this period of time, you should take good care of the baby! As for other matters, let me arrange it!"
Chen Ping'er was in great pain and dared not tell the truth, so she had no choice but to return to the palace. Soon, the Sixth Prince had someone contact Concubine Ru. When Concubine Ru heard about this, she instantly became excited and sent someone to bring back the Sixth Prince's wife who was practicing in the temple that day.
As for Chen Ping'er, she was feeling uneasy in the Chen Mansion. During this period, she even thought about getting rid of the child, but Concubine Ru sent people to watch over her, restricting her movements.
Two days later, the Sixth Prince's wife also rushed back. She was even more determined to help her husband this time. On the second day after she came back, she took Chen Ping'er to file a complaint with the emperor.
——Qinwang Mansion——
"Your Majesty, the Emperor summoned you to the palace. I heard something happened!" King Qin was about to go out to meet Pei Jinyu when a young eunuch hurried in to report.
When the King of Qin heard this, his eyebrows and eyes froze. He looked at the eunuch and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"I heard that the Sixth Prince's wife brought her sister into the palace. They said that you violated her sister more than a month ago, and her sister seems to be pregnant." The eunuch replied.
A trace of sarcasm appeared on the face of the King of Qin, and then he said to the servant beside him frankly: "Send someone to the Duke of Ying's mansion to inform Miss Pei that I have been urgently summoned to the palace by my father. I will go to her to explain next time."
So he followed the eunuch into the palace.
On the other side, after Pei Jinyu dressed up in her house, she received the news that Prince Qin had gone to the palace. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.
So Pei Jinyu asked the servant who delivered the message, "Do you know why your prince went to the palace?"
She knew that if it wasn't something particularly big, the King of Qin would never stand her up. She had a bad feeling in her heart that something might have happened to the King of Qin.
The servant didn't know the details either, he just said vaguely: "I don't know the details either, I just know that the Sixth Prince's wife took her sister to the palace, and the Emperor summoned the prince to the palace."
"The Sixth Prince's Consort?" Pei Jinyu felt even more uneasy when he suddenly heard this name.
So she went to find Xu Qingyan and told her about it.
"Sister-in-law, do you think something has happened to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin? The Sixth Prince's wife had just entered the palace when the Emperor summoned the Prince of Qin as well." Pei Jinyu looked at Xu Qingyan with some concern and asked.
She knew that her sister-in-law was very powerful, so she was eager to hear her thoughts.
Xu Qingyan was a little puzzled and said, "This is indeed a little unexpected. The Sixth Prince has now been sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. What kind of storm can the Sixth Prince's wife stir up?"
"Then can you guess? Will King Qin be in danger this time?" Pei Jinyu asked anxiously.
"Let me think about it first." Xu Qingyan said after hearing this.
However, before she could even begin to express her feelings, Zi Yan came in from outside and said hurriedly, "Princess, Miss, someone has come to the palace and said that the emperor wants you to enter the palace immediately."
"What? The emperor wants us to enter the palace?" Pei Jinyu exclaimed when he heard this.
"Why did the emperor summon us? Did something really happen to the King of Qin?" Xu Qingyan couldn't help but frown even more tightly, and she couldn't help but use her ability again.
[Let me see what happened, why did they involve me and Jin Yu! Oh my God! It turns out that Chen Ping'er is pregnant! The Sixth Prince's wife actually tried to pin the child on the King of Qin, and wanted the King of Qin to marry her sister! However, Chen Ping'er's child should be the Sixth Prince's! The Emperor asked us to enter the palace to testify for the King of Qin. The King of Qin said that he did not touch Chen Ping'er after taking the Chinese medicine that day. Only Jin Yu and I can testify for him. Then we have to go quickly! We can't just watch the King of Qin being wronged, and by the way, we will reveal that Chen Ping'er is pregnant with the Sixth Prince's child, and see if the Sixth Prince's wife will go crazy! ] Xu Qingyan exclaimed in her heart.
After hearing this, Pei Jinyu moved even faster than Xu Qingyan and ran out, grabbing her hand.
"Sister-in-law, since the emperor has summoned us, we must hurry to the palace!"
——The Imperial Palace——
"The Crown Prince's Consort and Pei Jinyu are in cahoots with the King of Qin. They will naturally speak for you. Father, your daughter-in-law believes that their testimony is unreliable!" The Sixth Prince's Consort argued with reason. She did not believe Xu Qingyan and the others' testimony that the King of Qin did not touch Chen Ping'er that day, but instead asked a doctor to remove the medicine from his body.
Xu Qingyan said calmly: "Your Majesty can also ask someone to invite the doctor who gave the antidote to the King of Qin that day. If we lie, you can let your Majesty deal with us."
"That doctor must have been bribed by you. If the King of Qin really didn't touch Ping'er, then how could she be pregnant?" The Sixth Prince's wife said with her neck stiffened upon hearing this. She did not doubt at all that Chen Ping'er was lying.
"It takes time to bribe the doctor. The emperor summoned us to the palace suddenly. How can we have the time to bribe him? Besides, we didn't expect that the Sixth Prince's wife would suddenly enter the palace. If the Prince of Qin really violated Miss Chen, why didn't Miss Chen say anything at the beginning, but only jumped out to sue His Highness the Prince of Qin now?" Xu Qingyan asked calmly.
