Chapter 615 That Incident

The princess also looked solemn when she thought of the past.

Shen Hanrui noticed that their emotions were a little off, and comforted them: "Father, Mother, even if the blood test method is not accurate, we can investigate it clearly, or we can find a skilled imperial physician to help Song Hexiu recover his memory. Then, even if our investigation makes no progress, we can still recognize our eldest brother."

Chen Tangyu said: "I heard that if a person who has lost his memory returns to a familiar place and visits the place where he used to live before losing his memory, it will be easier for him to recall his previous memories."

Shen Hanrui was delighted, "Yes, let's ask Song Hexiu to come to our house more often and take him to see the place where his eldest brother lived since he was a child. Maybe he will remember it soon."

King Gongxuan sighed and said, "It seems that this is the only way. Tang Yu, this time I will leave this matter to you to investigate personally, so as to prevent anyone from interfering and affecting our judgment."

Shen Tangyu: "Yes, father."

Shen Hanrui asked: "Father, Mother, your emotions seemed a little off just now. Did you remember something?"

The princess said, "Everything else is a foregone conclusion. It happened too long ago and is irreversible. The only thing is the incident your second brother caused earlier."

Shen Hanrui and Shen Tangyu looked at each other and remembered that incident.

When their second brother Chen Tangqi was sixteen years old, a woman suddenly came to their door with a child in her arms, saying that the child was Chen Tangqi's.

However, the impression Shen Tangqi gave them since childhood was that of an honest scholar who rarely indulged in wine and women on weekdays.

In addition, Aunt Deng wanted to die to prove her son's innocence.

Therefore, most people thought that the woman was deliberately sent by the palace's enemies to discredit Chen Tangqi.

But the woman made a big fuss, and many people gathered at the door to watch.

In order to completely prove his son's innocence, the palace immediately asked people to prepare clean water and perform a blood test.

The result of the blood test showed that the woman's child and Shen Tangqi's blood were indeed mixed.

King Gongxuan was furious at the time and immediately interrogated Shen Tangqi, asking him whether he had touched the woman.

Chen Tangqi denied it at the time and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days. He couldn't bear it after one day and said that he was not sure whether he had touched the woman. He was drunk that night and when he woke up he found himself and the woman naked together.

King Gongxuan felt that the child must be Shen Tangqi's.

There was no other way. There were so many people at the door at that time, and he didn't want to let the royal bloodline be exposed outside, so he let the woman become Chen Tangqi's concubine and acknowledge the child.

Unexpectedly, the child fell ill every other day after entering the palace, and finally died at the age of two.

King Gongxuan loved the child very much at that time. Regardless of whether he was born legitimately or not, he was his first grandson after all.

Because the servants did not take good care of the child, many of them were fired.

Some servants were even beaten to death for failing to take good care of the child.

The princess felt a little uncomfortable and said, "At that time, I also believed that the results of the blood test were definitely correct, so I didn't object to letting the child enter the palace. If the blood test was not accurate, the child might have no connection to the palace. Because of that child, many people in the palace died at that time. Wouldn't we have committed a sin?"

Chen Tangyu sighed and said, "Father, Mother, in my opinion, you should interrogate Concubine Wu again. She was very likely lying back then."
