Chapter 324: Really Damaging
Shen Wan was reluctantly satisfied with this punishment.
The prince is the general king, and his words are law. He said that he would not punish Concubine Wen and the second wife in the matter of replacing the original with the fake, so he cannot bring up the past again.
The prince only thought of exchanging the child back so that Xie Jingyu could grow up safely, but he didn't expect that Concubine Wen would not be able to see that the child was her own and would be so cruel.
If the child stayed in the Wen family, he would surely die. He knew that he could escape from the Wen family through a dog hole, so he would have a chance of survival.
But whether it can be found is uncertain.
Xie Jingyu has no birthmark on his body, and it seems that the second young master really doesn't have it on his body either. It is difficult to find him even with a birthmark, let alone without it. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for the prince to find him.
After the prince left, Zhao Yuanzheng took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into Xie Jingze's mouth.
After seeing this scene, what else could Lady Song Guogong not understand?
They suspected that the poison was administered by the Prince of Jingbei, but they never expected that the person who poisoned was actually the King of Jingbei!
The hair of his biological father and two ounces of his biological mother's blood were nothing more than a way to use Xie Jingze's life to force Concubine Wen to tell the truth of that year!
The wife of the Duke of Song loves her daughter dearly.
The daughter, who was treasured and raised in the palm of her hand, had suffered a lot of grievances by marrying Xie Jingze, a bastard. But at least Xie Jingze still had the hope of inheriting the Jingbei Palace. The eldest son of the Wen family was no match for the bastard of the Jingbei King!
The wife of the Duke of Song was very angry, but her daughter was already married and even had children, so she could only follow her husband wherever he went.
The news that Xie Jingze was not the prince's biological son but the eldest son of the Wen family spread throughout the Jingbei Palace.
No one ordered it to be kept secret, and the news quickly spread to the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, and everyone knew about it.
Many people were surprised, but also thought it was normal.
He covets the position of the crown prince and tries to replace him with another. How dare he keep the "crown prince" by his side? It would be fine if he grows up to look like Prince Jingbei, but if he looks like Princess Jingbei, he will definitely be exposed.
She would definitely find ways to send the child away, but she never expected that the person she would send away would be her own son. Forcing a six-year-old child to escape from the Wen Mansion through a dog hole must have meant that he had suffered inhumane abuse in the Wen Mansion.
But a six-year-old child knew how to resist and had the courage to escape. He is worthy of being the son of King Jingbei and the younger brother of King Jingbei's prince.
It’s just a pity…
Someone said, "Misfortunes often lie behind blessings, and blessings often lie behind misfortunes. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing."
"With a mother as cruel and merciless as Concubine Wen and uncles like the Wen family, even if he stayed in the Jingbei Palace and grew up, he would most likely be raised astray. After escaping, he could rely on his natural instincts and grow into a good bamboo shoot."
"You have a really bad mouth."
When Duke Song heard about Xie Jingze's life story, he almost died of anger on the spot.
When Lady Song returned, Duke Song asked, "Is Xie Jingze really not the son of Prince Jingbei?"
The wife of the Duke of Song shook her head. "Our daughter has been badly betrayed by the Third Prince of Beiyue."
Although my daughter likes Xie Jingze, what’s the point of liking him?
It’s a pity that he was still thinking about fighting for the title of Prince Jingbei’s Mansion, but now he can’t even stay in Prince Jingbei’s Mansion anymore.
The Lady of the Duke of Song was so angry that she cursed Xiahou Yi in her heart.
Fengyi Palace.
Queen Song had her phoenix seal taken away from her and was confined to her house to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for the empress dowager. She had been copying with great anger these days.
Another piece of paper wasted.
Queen Song was so angry that she crumpled up into a ball and threw it on the ground.
The palace maid came in quickly and was hit by the paper ball. She was caught off guard and startled, and fell to her knees.
Nanny Zheng frowned. Didn’t she tell these palace maids that the Queen was in a bad mood and should refrain from entering the palace unless necessary?
Madam Zheng asked, "What do you want to report?"
The palace maid prostrated herself on the ground and said, "There's a rumor going around that the second young master of Prince Jingbei's mansion isn't Prince Jingbei's biological son, but the eldest son of Concubine Wen's maternal brother, Master Wen, and Madam Wen..."
Madam Zheng, “……!!!”
Not only Queen Song couldn't accept this news, even Nanny Zheng found it hard to accept.
Queen Song has always loved Song Nanyue so much that she was unwilling to let Song Nanyue enter the palace and be bound by palace rules. If Song Nanyue and Second Young Master Xie had not fallen into the water together, even if Duke Song was willing to marry Song Nanyue to Second Young Master Xie, Queen Song would not agree.
It's just that her reputation will be damaged, so she has to marry. After all, Second Young Master Xie is the son of King Jingbei. His status is a little lower now, but it can be improved in the future. She can marry the eldest young master of the Wen family...
We can only hope that King Cheng can sit in that position, and out of consideration for the relationship between cousins, confer a title on Young Master Wen.
But without the military support of the Jingbei Palace, could King Cheng sit in that position?
Queen Song was so angry that she threw the pen in her hand heavily to the ground.
But she was unlucky. Even drinking water would get stuck in her teeth. She threw the pen carelessly and it bounced back, staining Queen Song with ink.
Queen Song was so furious that she wanted to kill someone.
When the news reached Queen Song, it naturally also reached the ears of the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother was also very angry.
The Queen Mother was still thinking that Song Nanyue would defeat Chen Wan and get rid of him, but as it turned out, nothing happened to Chen Wan, and Song Nanyue and Xie Jingze were packed up and sent out of the Jingbei Palace together.
The legitimate daughter of the Duke of Song not only failed to contribute anything to Prince Cheng's fight for the throne, but also made the Duke of Song's Mansion a laughing stock in Kyoto.
Tianxiang Tower.
A beautiful woman, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, was greeting the guests who came in with a smile.
She is good at dancing with long sleeves and is versatile.
But as she was laughing, the beautiful woman stopped laughing and turned to look at the two men who were holding the girl and chatting about the gossip of Prince Jingbei's Mansion.
The beautiful woman listened for a few seconds, then turned and went upstairs.
A man came over and said, "Master's plan has failed."
The beautiful woman said, "You don't need to remind me!"
The master hopes that Duke Song and Prince Cheng will help Second Young Master Xie seize the throne of the crown prince, kill Prince Jingbei, and eliminate the future troubles for the master.
Although Song Nanyue was defeated several times, he would never give up. However, his master had made all kinds of calculations, but he did not expect that the second young master Xie was not the biological son of King Jingbei.
The beautiful woman said, "Second Young Master Xie is not the only one in the Jingbei Palace who covets the title and the military power held by the Jingbei King—"
"If one fails, just support the other."
…
Inside the room, Shen Wan was lying on the couch eating a pear.
Chun'er came in from outside and said, "Princess Consort, the Second Young Master has taken the medicine and has woken up..."
Yin Chuan said, "What Second Young Master? That's Young Master Wen. We don't even know where the Second Young Master of the Jingbei Palace is."
It’s a pity that Concubine Wen was not there, otherwise Yinchuan’s knife would have stabbed Concubine Wen half to death.
Having won a battle, and fought beautifully, Shen Wan was in a very good mood.
After sending Xie Jingze and Song Nanyue away, the mansion will be much quieter. Concubine Wen was not favored by the prince to begin with, and she even put the blame of losing her son on the prince. She is really crazy, and she will never be able to do anything in the future.
However, Xie Zhihuan, as the daughter of a prince, has reached the age of marriage. Normally, many people would come to her house to propose marriage. However, in the past few months, no one has come to her house. Now, such a thing has been reported. Even if she is the daughter of King Jingbei, this identity is of no use.
Chen Wan was a little thirsty, so Shanhu poured her some tea. However, as she was pouring, her hand suddenly shook and the tea spilled onto the table.
Yinchuan saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shanhu shook her head. "It's nothing. I just suddenly lost strength in my arms..."
