Chapter 311 Who is that woman?

King Jing had a bad temper.

The Prince Duan's Mansion no longer looks like it used to. It is deserted and desolate. The buildings are like people. When they lose their power, they become dull and lifeless, and they seem to know how to look at people.

After many days, the door opened.

The people in Prince Duan's Mansion were like frightened rabbits, looking at the people who came in with curiosity, fear, and anxiety.

Prince Duan was sitting in the yard basking in the sun. When he heard footsteps, he said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"

No one answered, but the footsteps were still there, as if they had stopped in front of him.

When Prince Duan opened his eyes, he saw the Emperor and Prince Jing.

"Emperor...Brother..."

He didn't know who to call and stood up from his chair in a hurry.

King Jing narrowed his eyes and looked very angry.

As for the emperor, there was no expression on his face, making him hard to understand.

Prince Duan swallowed his saliva, like a child who had done something wrong and was finally discovered by his parents, waiting anxiously for his parents' punishment.

An Jiu found it funny.

The emperor asked him, "Are you used to it?"

Prince Duan was actually not used to it.

He loves the hustle and bustle and is used to being free. Now that he is suddenly locked up, it is no different from being in prison.

It's only been a few days and he's already going crazy.

But he didn't dare to say anything and could only nod dejectedly.

Prince Jing became furious just by looking at him. He sneered, which made Prince Duan's scalp numb.

"Third... Third Brother, when did you come back?"

No news could come in from him, and he didn't even know that the Chu delegation was coming.

King Jing stared at him for a long time before saying, "I came back yesterday."

After a pause, King Jing said, "The Chu delegation is here. Do you want to meet them?"

Prince Duan was stunned: "Why would I meet with the Chu delegation?"

King Jing said: "Of course it is treason?"

Prince Duan was anxious: "Third brother, I'm not crazy. Why don't you live a good life and surrender to the State of Chu?"

King Jing looked at him with dismay and said, "So you know."

Prince Duan also reacted and sighed helplessly.

"Go ahead and ask me if you want to. I have nothing to say."

He paused, and thought that both Prince Jing and the Emperor's mother were killed by his mother, and he felt guilty and embarrassed again.

King Jing sighed speechlessly.

In his eyes, Prince Duan is actually still a child.

But the emperor spoke at this time.

"Where were you on the tenth day of last month? What did you do?"

Prince Duan paused, and the color on his face instantly faded away.

He finally knew why the emperor came.

He knows everything.

Prince Jing was confused. He looked at the emperor, then at Prince Duan, and angrily asked, "Why don't you tell me?"

Prince Duan knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Royal brother..."

His head was very low, as if it was about to sink to the ground.

An Jiu shook his head and looked at the three brothers.

She thought that the emperor was truly a very kind and tolerant monarch. If it were any other emperor, Prince Duan would have died twenty times.

That’s right, that night, An Jiu was thinking hard about the child in Concubine De’s belly.

The eunuchs couldn't have done that, the people from the Imperial Hospital couldn't have done that, the guards couldn't have done that...

Putting aside the question of whether there is a chance or not, with Concubine De's proud personality, how could she commit herself to these people?

An Jiu excluded them all.

So she thought of another identity.

The prince entering the palace.

Judging from Concubine De’s belly, the princes who entered the palace more than a month ago were Prince Jing, Prince Ming, and Prince Duan.

Prince Jing was in poor health and he did not go to the harem. Prince Ming went to the palace just to scold the emperor and left after that.

The only person who went to the harem was Prince Duan, who went to see Concubine Shu, who was very close to Concubine De during that period.

They have the time, the opportunity, and the motivation...

An Jiu tried hard to recall. It was impossible for people to remember trivial things from a month ago, but they could still remember the things that left a deep impression on them.

Once, Prince Jing and Prince Duan entered the palace together. Prince Jing talked to the emperor, while Prince Duan went to see Concubine Dowager Shu. When he came out, he was in a bad mood and ran away without even saying hello to the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Concubine De knelt at the entrance of Guanghua Palace and insisted on seeing the emperor and entering Guanghua Palace, as if she had something to do and had to be with the emperor that day...

Come to think of it, that was...

In order to avoid suspicion in the future, Concubine De had evidence to prove it...

The premise of this statement is that the emperor is dead.

Only after the emperor died could she say with confidence that the child was conceived by her and the emperor together.

No one can refute it.

I don’t know how Concubine Shu convinced her. An Jiu just felt that she was really crazy.

Prince Duan knelt before the emperor and cried bitterly.

"Brother, I really don't know anything. When I went to see Mother that day, I smelled a fragrance and was confused..."

When he woke up completely, he was the only one left on the bed.

Concubine Shu said he fell asleep.

Prince Duan felt something was wrong at that time.

He has a vague memory...

He looked at Concubine Shu, his Adam's apple rolled, and asked, "Mother, what did I do?"

Concubine Shu gently touched his face with a gentle expression, but Prince Duan could not see any tenderness in her eyes.

He had this feeling when he was very young.

His mother was always gentle and kind, and seemed to love him very much, but Prince Duan could not feel her love.

He always thought it was his illusion and that he was overthinking.

But at this moment, he really felt it.

Maybe there really are mothers who don't love their children.

Prince Duan also asked Prince Jing if he had this feeling.

Prince Jing said nothing.

Prince Duan understood.

The fifth brother is the most sensitive. He can tell at a glance whether others are being insincere or fake towards him.

Therefore, no matter how good and deep their mother-son relationship was in the eyes of the outside world, Prince Jing was never close to Concubine Shu. Even when Prince Duan entered the palace, he would not go to see Concubine Shu.

now……

"Good boy, forget everything about today. You didn't do anything."

Concubine Shu smiled and patted his head, just like when they were little.

Prince Duan stumbled away.

Just like countless times before, I saw something, heard something, and pretended that I didn't see it or hear it...

"So you have been pretending to be deaf and dumb?" Prince Jing frowned and looked at Prince Duan.

Prince Duan burst into tears: "On one side are you, and on the other side is my mother, how should I choose?"

King Jing closed his eyes.

Prince Duan is right, but...

"What did you do that day? Who was that woman?" King Jing asked and then paused.

Why?

It can't be a palace maid.

Could it be...

He looked at the few curls of hair that had accidentally stuck up on the emperor's head.

It seems to be glowing green.

An Jiu looked at Prince Jing, then at the Emperor. She wanted to know how the Emperor would deal with Prince Duan.

Logically speaking, Sun Yingda should be beaten to death together with the madman.

Pan Jinlian, Ximen Qing and Wang Po deserve the same treatment.

But Anjiu understood the emperor.

If he really wanted to kill Prince Duan, he wouldn't have come here today...
