"Are you sure that the person you brought here is the one who delivered your mother back then?
If you just pick someone here at random, this prince will have no way of confirming whether he is real or fake.
So don't think about finding just anyone to fool me. If I find out, I won't let you go.
The emperor no longer wanted to say anything more to the third prince. After all, once the midwife came, they would know everything clearly.
The midwife came over quickly and stood beside the third prince.
I couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies by so fast. I never thought that the Third Prince would grow up so much without me noticing."
The third prince didn't have time to laugh and joke with the midwife in front of him.
He immediately reached out and pushed the midwife.
"Who are you? Are you really a midwife? Did the emperor send someone here to deceive me?"
The third prince was a little worried because the person in front of him was specially summoned by the emperor.
"No, Third Prince, when you were little, I took care of you for a while. I wonder if you still remember me?
That time when you climbed up the tree and said you were playing hide-and-seek with me."
I don’t know if it’s because this incident left a deep impression on me.
The Third Prince just happened to still remember what the midwife in front of him was saying.
It seemed that this midwife was real. The Third Prince couldn't help but look at her and asked, "Midwife, do you still remember what my mother looked like after she gave birth to me?"
When the midwife heard the third prince talking about his biological mother, she hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should tell the third prince about this.
Because at that time, the emperor issued a gag order.
If anyone dared to spread rumors, the emperor would have them dragged out and beheaded.
So over time, the matter of the third prince's mother was forgotten.
Now when she heard the third prince asking about Concubine De, the midwife subconsciously glanced at the emperor.
The emperor nodded to the midwife, indicating that he agreed with her speaking.
"Just tell him directly, and tell him everything you know."
Now that the emperor had spoken, the midwife no longer hid anything.
"Back then, after Consort De gave birth to you, the Third Prince, she could no longer hold on, and passed away while the Third Prince was still in his cradle."
When the third prince heard the midwife say this, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's impossible. Someone told me that he was the one who had my mother beaten to death."
After the third prince said this, he pointed his finger at the emperor behind him.
When the midwife heard what the third prince said, she was stunned for a moment and immediately shook her head.
"Third Prince, you must have misunderstood this matter. Concubine De died of heavy bleeding when she gave birth to you. Many people knew about it back then. If you don't believe me, you can ask the old people who used to work in Concubine De's palace. They are all still here."
Finally, under the guidance of the midwife, the third prince found the people who served Concubine De in the past. Although those people are now old, many people still remember them when talking about Concubine De.
The main reason was that Concubine De was so kind back then, and she was extremely good to them, the servants.
So when talking about Concubine De's death, these people felt a little sorry.
They felt it was such a pity that such a good person died in this way.
Seeing so many people saying this, the Third Prince was certain that this was true.
But he still couldn't believe that the hatred that had lasted for so long was actually a joke in the end.
The Third Prince could not accept this, because it meant that everything he did and everyone he hated was wrong.
He wanted to go and see the old people in his mother's palace. He didn't know where those old people lived, so he could only look at the midwife in front of him blankly.
"Can you find all those old people? This prince wants to ask about their matter."
The midwife was a little hesitant. Although she knew that those people lived there now, it would definitely take time to find them all.
Before the third prince could speak, the emperor on the platform above spoke first.
"I approve you to do this. Bring those people here. Since the Third Prince still doesn't believe it after seeing so many people, give him another chance to verify it!"
Since the emperor had spoken, the midwife would of course not say anything else.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! We all know where those people are. It just takes time. Your Majesty, you should know that those people are now living outside the palace. If we want to find them, it will take time."
"I can give you time, as long as you can bring them all here." With the emperor's words, the midwife felt much more at ease.
After five days, the midwife brought Concubine De and the old people in the palace to the Third Prince.
There were eight people in total, but actually there were more than that. However, there was no other way. The midwife could only find this many this time. She remembered that the other people lived in that place, but she could not find them.
Maybe they moved away later because of something.
"Third Prince, these people are the ones who served Consort De before. You can ask them anything you have."
No one knew how much time had passed, but the Third Prince looked as pale as death.
Only now did he realize how wrong he had been all along.
But even if he regretted it now, it was of no use.
The main thing is that he has already done those things, so now he can only wait for the emperor's punishment.
"Father, I am the fault of this son. I believed the words of the villain and did this. I hope your Majesty will forgive me. I am willing to accept any punishment."
The emperor felt a little sorry for the third prince whom he had raised since childhood. In the end, he just issued an order to put the third prince under house arrest, but did not take his life.
The emperor is really too kind to the third prince.
After the queen knew the emperor's decision, she didn't say much. She knew that the emperor would arrange everything himself.
As for Concubine Rou, when she learned that the third prince was defeated, she was so excited that she fainted. After she woke up, she kept muttering to herself.
And he has been acting crazy. It seems that he just can't accept this and has gone crazy.
The emperor was originally planning to execute her, but after seeing her become like this, the matter was dropped.
