"What?" Cui Wan was surprised for a moment before she remembered what she asked Wu Youshu to do.
"Your Majesty, I confess my guilt. It was I who did it. I also ask Your Majesty to protect Ce'er in the future. When Prince Shun returns to the royal family, Ce'er will have a chance to live."
"You...what did you say?" Emperor Qianyuan was a little bit unbelievable. How did Concubine Cui know Su Xingyi's identity?
When Cui Wan saw this, she understood and Prince Shun was sure that the child was Queen Fu'an's.
"The reason I stopped was because I realized that even if I attacked Feng Jinyu, it would be in vain. I also discovered that Prince Shun might be the child of Empress Fu'an."
She really knew!
"Don't talk nonsense! How could Prince Shun be Empress Fu'an's child? He died more than 20 years ago!"
"Your Majesty, the reason I concluded that Prince Shun was your eldest son was because Crown Prince Yu suddenly came to the capital. It was said that Prince Shun had been wearing rouge and powder during his stay at the Grand Prince's residence to hide his true appearance. Also, Lin Fang disappeared for no apparent reason on the day she went to the Duke of Huguo's residence to pay her respects. I think Nanny Fang discovered Prince Shun's secret, which is why she disappeared."
"Farmers eat poorly, so it's impossible for them to give birth to a child as beautiful as Prince Shun. I remember that Master Ci'en once declared to Princess Xiao, who was still in her mother's womb, that she was a lucky star. That's why the Emperor arranged for Princess Xiao to marry Feng Jinyu the day she was born. Feng Jinyu was framed for rebellion, and the Xiao family was implicated and exiled. Princess Xiao is a lucky star after all, so even if she was to marry, she could have been given to another prince, not the blind and disabled Prince Shun. Your Majesty, what you did is incredible. You should have known that Prince Shun was Empress Fu'an's child long ago, and that's why you married Princess Xiao to him."
"You are talking nonsense!" Emperor Qianyuan did not want to admit that he had done something stupid.
"Your Majesty, I remember that you asked Feng Jinyu to take charge of state affairs, and you went to the people in disguise to understand their sentiments. If I am not mistaken, Your Majesty went to see Prince Shun."
Emperor Qianyuan's heart sank. Cui Wan had guessed it, and Princess Xiao was so smart, she must have guessed it too. Then Su Xingyi must know that he was his son!
Lin Fang was probably captured by Su Xingyi and interrogated about Shangguan Ruian's difficult childbirth.
It’s over!
Does Su Xingyi already know the truth of that year?
"emperor?"
Qian Yuandi lowered his eyes and looked at the little prince on the couch, "Wan'er, don't worry, I will take good care of Ce'er. Li Haiying, bring in the poisoned wine."
