Why would the Fourth Prince let her speak?
He moved his hand as if to strangle Shen Suxin to death, but Li Zhaoyi was faster than him and pulled out her hairpin to stab Shen Suxin: "You slander my son like this! I will kill you!"
Shen Suxin had one arm held by Lord Shen and the other by the Fourth Prince, forcing her to no end. She closed her eyes in despair. Was she going to die like this? She was unwilling to accept this!
The expected pain did not appear. Shen Suxin opened her eyes and met Qin Wan's concerned eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief, struggled to break free from the two people's grip, and stood behind Qin Wan: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for rescuing me."
Qin Wan nodded slightly, snatched Li Zhaoyi's hairpin, and removed all the hairpins on her head. "Li Zhaoyi, you are so impatient that people will suspect you of murdering someone to silence them."
Li Zhaoyi angrily said, "She is slandering me!"
"You know best whether I'm slandering you or not!"
Shen Suxin sneered, she looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you see it? They are afraid, why are they afraid? Because they are doing things that will kill nine generations of their clan!"
"Let's not talk about the past, it only adds fuel to his crime. The prince's palace has countless staff members, which is not worth mentioning. But he made explosives. There are countless explosives buried under the Qin family's grounds, just waiting for him to frame the prince with the dragon robe. Then, they will directly blow up the Qin family and cut off the prince's arms!"
"What? Where is it buried?" Qin Wan was shocked. She hurriedly looked at Qin Zhan in the crowd.
The latter nodded and quickly turned to leave. The Qin family was surrounded like an iron barrel. Those spies might not be able to sneak into the Qin family to bury explosives, but as long as there were enough explosives and buried them around the Qin family, it would be enough to cause devastating damage to the Qin family and the surrounding areas!
How could Shen Suxin know this? She shook her head: "I only know this matter, I don't know where it is buried, sorry."
After saying this, she continued, "The Fourth Prince has also sent people to assassinate the Crown Prince many times. Shen Yang and his group, the Crown Prince's multiple assassinations, and even his disappearance, were all his doing!"
"And the Fourth Prince has three thousand private soldiers in his manor! They're all scattered across the capital, ready to respond to his orders!"
"Also, when the Crown Prince got married, the Queen sent people to assassinate the Crown Princess. How could her men have broken through the Qin family's defenses? They were all the Fourth Prince! He sent fifty people to secretly assist the Queen! Poor Queen, she was kept in the dark in the end!"
"In order to win over the nobles, the Fourth Prince was willing to sacrifice the daughters of court officials. Lord Wu's legitimate daughter was just one of them. He also used women to control their movements and convey his orders."
"Not only that, the Fourth Prince seems to have connections with foreign races and other countries, and has visited the border many times over the years!"
"And this imperial examination cheating was the Fourth Prince's idea. He accepted one million taels of silver from someone else!"
…
As the truth came to light one after another, the court officials were dumbfounded.
The Fourth Prince flew to the Emperor's feet, hugged his legs and wailed loudly: "Father! Don't listen to this woman's nonsense! She is crazy, she is a lunatic!"
The emperor kicked the fourth prince away. Putting aside other things, he had felt that something was fishy about the queen's affairs from the beginning, but he couldn't find out anything. Unexpectedly, the fourth prince was behind it!
He looked at Shen Suxin: "Empty words are nothing, do you have any evidence?"
"Of course!" Shen Suxin clapped her hands, and several people were brought in. "These staff members are the Fourth Prince's confidants. They know everything about the explosives and the assassination of the Crown Princess. They also know how many of the concubines in the court officials' mansions are the Fourth Prince's people."
"You're talking nonsense!" the Fourth Prince shouted, "I've been very kind to you! Why are you harming me like this?"
Shen Suxin stared at the Fourth Prince, eyes full of resentment: "I hurt you? It was you who hurt me! When the selection was made, I was the only choice for the Crown Princess. It was you who used tricks to steal my handkerchief and threatened me with the reputation of my Shen family children! That's why I had no choice but to marry you!"
"You said you were in love with me? You coaxed me into falling in love with you, and you coaxed me into using my Shen family connections to pave the way for you to fight for the position of Crown Prince. But what happened in the end? You abandoned my Shen family like a worn-out shoe, taking in concubines one after another, either the legitimate daughter of this official or the illegitimate daughter of that military commander! They caused me to lose my child and prevent me from having children again! And you didn't even bother to ask!"
"That's our daughter! My only daughter!" Shen Suxin cried heartbreakingly! She only gave birth to one legitimate son. After many years of hardship, she conceived a second child, but she miscarried during the fight between concubines. That already-born daughter was a lifelong pain in her heart.
"What position do you put me in? What position do you put my Shen family in? Fine, if you've let me down and let our children down, that's fine, but you absolutely shouldn't have! You shouldn't have pinned the crime of treason on the crown prince! That's treason! If he's discovered, will he still be alive? So, I'm changing my dragon robe."
The Fourth Prince's eyes darted between Xie Qing and Shen Suxin, and he felt a pang of rage on his face: "Well, what a pair of dogs and bitches! You've been connected for a long time, you've wronged me, and now you're slandering me!"
"I haven't wronged you! The Crown Princess is so beautiful! I'm already your wife, how could I bear to let him get into trouble? It's you, the Fourth Prince Xie Xiao! It's you who wronged me! I've given so much for you, and yet you let me take the blame! You and your mother, Gong Yan, framed the courtiers and their families, and the Crown Prince! You actually let me, who knew nothing about it, take the blame! You're so vicious!"
"So, I've prepared everything for today. Are you surprised or not? There's an even bigger surprise coming!"
Shen Suxin laughed wildly, flew into the crowd, and pulled Lu Yan out: "Marquis Pingyang, you don't know yet? The son you have raised for several years is not your son, but Xie Xiao's son!"
