When King Kang returned, he saw that his wife looked sometimes dazed and sometimes serious.
He was startled and hurried forward.
"Madam? But what happened?"
Ye Peizhu came back to her senses, looked at the prince's anxious and worried expression, smiled and shook her head, glanced at her daughter who was still sleeping, stood up and pulled her husband out.
"Your Majesty, mother brought Li'er here today."
"Li'er? Ye Shuli? That half-brother, right? What happened? Or did Jiu'er say something in her mind about the General's Mansion?"
King Kang asked the last sentence in a low voice.
This was the only possibility he could think of.
With all that is happening now, only their daughter's thoughts can make the couple's mood fluctuate greatly.
Ye Peizhu nodded and whispered what her daughter was thinking.
King Kang: “???”
“!!!”
"Actually, is this really the case?! However, the secret guards that I sent out to investigate this matter found nothing!
The secret guard not only investigated what happened on the day of the mother-in-law's delivery, but also investigated what happened on the day of the concubine's delivery, and found nothing wrong.
No matter how the investigation was conducted, the results confirmed that Ye Shuxun was his mother-in-law's youngest son.
But Jiuer's heart would not lie, there must be something else hidden in this.
But this matter is a bit tricky. We don't know the truth of what happened back then. Even if we knew Li'er's life experience, how would we tell my mother-in-law? "
Ye Peizhu sighed, "Yes, this is what I am worried about. If I don't tell mother about this, I am worried that Li'er will continue to be mistreated by my concubines.
But if I tell them, what if the mastermind of this incident finds out and causes other troubles? "
The couple now felt that they were in a difficult situation and wanted to tell their mother the truth without any hesitation.
But if their mother asked them how they knew and what happened back then, what would they say?
There was no way they would reveal their daughter's secret.
"Forget it, Madam, why don't we wait for my father-in-law to come back and then we can discuss what to do."
Ye Peizhu nodded, "That's the only way."
"Well, Madam, the servant we talked about last time who was driven out of the mansion by Prince Gong has been found, and he's still alive."
Prince Kang then started talking about serious matters, which startled Ye Peizhu so much that she widened her eyes slightly.
"Did you find the person?"
"Yes, the guards have brought the person back quietly. They will ask him to come over later."
As King Kang was speaking, there was a noise at the door.
"Come in."
King Kang shouted loudly, and the guards came in with a middle-aged man wearing coarse linen clothes, with tattered clothes and messy hair.
As soon as the man came in, he knelt down and kowtowed to King Kang and Ye Peizhu.
"This servant greets the prince and princess."
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu exchanged glances and asked the guards to go out and guard the door first.
"Are you the one who was beaten to death and thrown out of the palace by Prince Gong a few years ago?"
King Kang asked first.
"Yes, it was me. I was actually just fainted that year, not dead. I don't know why I was considered dead.
When I woke up, I found myself in a mass grave outside the capital. I was worried that if I returned to the capital again, I would be discovered by Prince Gong's men and beaten to death again.
But after leaving the capital, I didn't know where to go, so I had to return to the capital.
My indenture is in the hands of Prince Gong, and I have no way of finding work in the capital, so I can only beg.
Before this year's snowstorm hit, thanks to the prince and princess, I did not die in the snowstorm.
I happened to hear that someone was looking for me. After I knew it was the prince and princess looking for me, I came here on my own initiative.
This servant wants to repay the prince and princess for saving my life. As long as this servant knows something, I will tell you everything I know! "
The man's words surprised both King Kang and Ye Peizhu.
They didn't expect that things would go so smoothly this time.
Especially the fact that the snowstorm saved his life was just an accident.
At that time, they just wanted to prevent their daughter from being slandered as a disaster star because of the snowstorm, so they spent money to gather beggars wandering the streets of the capital, gave them a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and provided them with enough supplies to resist the snowstorm.
Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, I received the blessing today.
Prince Kang nodded and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I want to know why you were beaten to death by Prince Gong's men."
“Reporting to the prince and princess, in fact, I was not beaten because I stole Prince Gong’s things, but because I knew Prince Gong’s secret.
Your Majesty, everyone knows that you have a very good relationship with Prince Gong, but in fact, Prince Gong is very jealous of you. He is jealous that you can get the favor of the emperor.
Prince Gong approached you a few years ago and has always wanted to find something to hold against you to threaten you, but he acts honestly and he has no way of finding any evidence against you.
Also, Prince Gong's legitimate son was not actually born to Princess Gong, but was a bastard son born to Aunt Zhao in the mansion.
Princess Gong was unable to bear children, and Prince Gong took advantage of her love for him and made her agree to pretend to give birth to a legitimate son.
As for Princess Gong's inability to bear children, she herself believed that it was congenital.
Because this incident happened when Princess Gong was thrown to the ground by a horse during an outing in the suburbs and was discovered by a doctor.
But in fact, the reason why Princess Gong was unable to bear children was not only because she was thrown to the ground by the horse and hit her abdomen, but also because Prince Gong had given her a contraceptive drug.
It can be said that the reason why Princess Gong was infertile was entirely caused by Prince Gong, and the crazy horses were also caused by Prince Gong.
It was precisely because I knew this secret that Prince Gong sent someone to beat me to death."
What the man said left King Kang and Ye Peizhu shocked.
Prince Kang knew that Prince Gong was not sincere towards him. He had known about this before. Whether he was confused or sad, it was all in the past.
The current Prince Gong is his enemy.
The secret of Princess Gong's infertility was different from the version Ye Peizhu heard from Lu Jianan.
Lu Jiannan heard it from the man in front of him.
But now he said something different.
"Regarding the matter of Princess Gong being infertile, I heard that she was born infertile. Which version is correct?"
Ye Peizhu asked directly.
The man smiled bitterly, "Princess, of course what I say now is the truth. Besides Prince Gong, I am the only one who knows this secret in Prince Gong's Mansion.
Everyone else who knew this secret had been killed by Prince Gong.
Princess, did you hear from the Prime Minister's wife that Princess Gong was born infertile?
