Mrs. Sun was heartbroken.
The son whom she had spent half her life nurturing could have had a bright future, but he was used as a stepping stone by Xiao Zhenting.
If his son was really exiled three thousand miles away, they would never have the chance to see each other again in this life.
Mrs. Sun felt as if the world was spinning around her and her life had lost its meaning.
She fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Until a pair of weak hands gently helped her up, and asked anxiously and concernedly: "Madam Sun, are you okay? I will go and find the doctor to check on you right away."
Madam Sun raised her head and saw Shangguan Wanning. Now, a simple word of concern made her feel warm, and all her grievances turned into tears and poured down.
"I... I'm fine... The doctor can't help me..." Mrs. Sun was trembling all over and crying bitterly.
Shangguan Wan Ning looked around and made sure that no one was around, then she quietly said, "Madam Sun, the doctor can't help you, but the Queen can."
Madam Sun was stunned, and her thoughts paused for a moment, but in this short time, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Concubine Liu would never help her for the sake of her son; however, she had already threatened the position of the queen by rushing to the harem and constantly building up momentum for the Second Prince.
Perhaps, the Queen also wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate and suppress Concubine Liu and her son.
"Madam Sun, although it may not be possible to exonerate Young Master Sun, the Queen is kind-hearted and may be willing to plead for him. If he loses his position, then forget it. At least he can stay somewhere closer to the capital."
Shangguan Wanning's words reminded Madam Sun, but she knew in her heart that relying solely on the Queen's "kindness" was definitely not enough.
If she wants the Queen to help, she must have enough bargaining chips.
so……
Madam Sun's expression gradually changed, and hatred emerged in her eyes.
"We have been married for many years. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
Madam Sun stood up with the help of Shangguan Wanning, as if she had regained her spirit all of a sudden. Without saying hello to Shangguan Wanning, she walked straight towards the Queen's villa.
Shangguan Wanning felt a little bitter.
She felt a little uneasy because she had used Sun Jinyao and his mother to achieve her goal. However, in order to protect her family, she had no choice but to resort to this measure. She secretly made up her mind that when the matter was over, she would definitely let her father protect them.
"Midori."
"Miss."
"You follow Madam Sun. No matter what she does next, you must come back and tell me everything."
"Yes, I understand."
Lutong was a little confused about what her young lady was doing, but she still did her best.
This night is destined to be sleepless.
Shangguan Wanning had several nightmares in succession and could not fall asleep.
Madam Sun found the Queen and told her about the past relationship between Tutor Sun and Concubine Liu. She also told the Queen that they had always kept in touch over the years and that the family still needed their correspondence.
The queen was shocked when she heard this, but she was secretly delighted in her heart.
But the matter was of great importance, and in order to be absolutely sure, the Queen immediately sent someone to Tutor Sun's residence, and according to what Mrs. Sun said, they obtained the letters that Concubine Liu and Tutor Sun had exchanged over the years.
Some of it was just idle chatter, but it was full of affection.
The Queen promised Madam Sun that no matter what kind of damage this incident caused to the Sun family, she would protect Sun Jinyao.
Madam Sun was disheartened and had made up her mind to die.
The queen prepared all the evidence and revealed the matter when the emperor held a family dinner the night before returning to Beijing from hunting.
The emperor looked at the letters and trembled with anger.
He never imagined that the woman he had doted on for so many years was thinking of another man when she lay in his arms.
This is a great humiliation for anyone, let alone he is the king of a country.
“Your Majesty, I am innocent…” Concubine Liu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She collapsed to the ground and burst into tears. “I am devoted to Your Majesty and would never do such a shameless thing. Someone is trying to wrongly accuse me…”
Concubine Liu crawled forward, hugged the emperor's calf, and cried bitterly.
The emperor kicked Concubine Liu away in disgust. "Do you think I'm a fool? Someone, go get Tutor Sun."
Soon, Tutor Sun was brought over by the guards.
He looked at the scene in front of him, seemed to understand something, and his mind was working rapidly. Before he could come up with a solution, the emperor raised the wine jug and smashed it at him.
He was hit on the head and bleeding.
"I trusted you so much, but I didn't expect you to have an affair with Concubine Liu?"
"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing. Your Majesty is wise..."
The Queen watched coldly from the sidelines and said, "Your Majesty, there is no point in talking any more. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. We must also provide evidence to convince them both."
As she spoke, the queen winked at her personal eunuch.
Soon, Madam Sun and Concubine Liu's maids and eunuchs were brought in.
The moment Tutor Sun saw Madam Sun, his heart turned cold as ice.
With Madam Sun's testimony, and the exaggerated confessions of the palace maids and eunuchs, the emperor was so angry that his face turned blue.
Xiao Zhenting was completely confused.
He didn't believe that his mother would be so confused, but... Tutor Sun seemed to have been too good to him over the years.
"Your Majesty, my master and Concubine Liu have been discussing how to help the Second Prince succeed to the throne. I am just a woman and I don't know anything, but I can see that he is closer to the Second Prince than to his own son..."
The emperor's heart skipped a beat.
He also remembered something.
Ever since Master Sun became the teacher of Xiao Yujue and Xiao Zhenting, he always praised Xiao Zhenting's intelligence in front of him, but intentionally or unintentionally belittled Xiao Yujue.
The emperor looked at Xiao Zhenting, and the more he looked, the more he felt that his features resembled those of Grand Tutor Sun.
He grabbed Concubine Liu by the collar and asked sternly, "Tell me, is Xiao Zhenting the bastard born from your affair with the man surnamed Sun?"
Concubine Liu was terrified. Such an accusation was tantamount to sentencing her to death.
Even Xiao Zhenting was frightened and knelt down.
"No... Your Majesty, I have not done anything to let you down. Your Majesty, you must believe me..."
Now, even the Queen Mother couldn't sit still.
"The royal bloodline is such a big deal that there must be no confusion. Since Concubine Liu is unfaithful to the emperor, we must verify it clearly."
The Queen Mother said solemnly: "Send the imperial physician here to perform a blood test on the Second Prince."
Xiao Zhenting's mind went blank.
He knelt there blankly until the guard came up, roughly pulled up his hand, pierced his finger, and dripped blood into the bowl.
Then, another drop of Master Sun's blood was injected.
Everyone looked at the two drops of blood nervously.
