Yun Xiangye suddenly remembered that Yu Xihe's maternal grandparents' home was the Zhu Family Winery. She and Zhao Jing were actually cousins.
And the girl from the Zhu Family Winery who helped the Princess Chu’s aunt deliver her baby, wasn’t she Yu Xihe’s mother?
Zhao Jing raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, how could I not be of the Zhao family's bloodline?"
Zhao Yun said, "You are not. Your parents are from the Zhu family, who run a winery on Yongxing City Street. It was your aunt who took advantage of the fact that the aunt of the King of Chu was giving birth and replaced the son of the King of Chu with his biological son!"
Zhao Jing said in disbelief: "Impossible, Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible."
Yu Xihe finally understood what Zhao Yun said and looked at Zhao Jing in astonishment. "You are my cousin? How...how is this possible?"
Zhao Jing also said: "Your Highness, I am the child born by my parents. How could I not be the blood of the Zhao family, Your Highness..."
Zhao Yun looked at Imperial Tutor Fu and the rest of the Fu family standing behind Zhao Jing and said, "Imperial Tutor Fu, Minister Fu, our father has treated you well, yet you took advantage of my illness to rebel and seek revenge. You don't realize that the Zhao Jing you support isn't even of royal blood; he's just the son of a winery owner."
Master Fu had a head full of white hair. When he saw Zhao Yun come out safely, he knew that his situation was hopeless.
Imperial Tutor Fu knelt on the ground and said, "I will always remember your majesty's kindness and support, but I cannot stand by and watch the Gu family treat the Crown Prince as a puppet. Everything I do is out of loyalty to your majesty."
Zhao Yun said coldly, "At this point, you still want to quibble? His Majesty has verbally decreed that Fu Zhao's title of Imperial Tutor be stripped and his position dismissed. Considering his age, he is being sent back to his hometown. Minister Fu Mo has failed to raise his son properly and committed treason, so he will be imprisoned. The Three Departments will meet to make a final decision. Fu Ming is responsible for many lives, and this time he dared to commit treason. He is sentenced to death, his family property confiscated, his male members removed from their official positions, and three generations will be barred from taking the imperial examinations."
Fu Zhao collapsed to the ground. He was able to study in the countryside and later became an imperial tutor with great power.
Now he knows that he doesn't have many years left, and wants the Fu family to maintain its wealth, but there is no one among his grandchildren who can keep the Fu family rich, so he takes the opportunity to take risks, but in the end he still loses by one step.
As Fu Ming was being escorted away by the guards, he shouted, "Your Highness, you deliberately abolished my sister's position as Crown Princess in order to marry your maidservant. How can we, the Fu family, accept this? As the crown prince, you were bewitched by a woman and caused the daughter of a loyal official to be broken off from engagement..."
Fu Ming's shouting was abruptly stopped when the guard covered his mouth.
At this moment, Xu Jie had already come to the court with Zhu Ting, the King of Chu and his wife.
When the King of Chu and Zhu Ting entered together, everyone in the court looked at their similar faces and had to believe that Zhao Jing was not the King of Chu's son.
Seeing Zhao Jing kneeling, the King of Chu slapped him hard in anger, "How dare you have my mother and I imprisoned and lead troops to force the palace!"
Zhao Jing was slapped and said, "Father, Father..."
Zhao Jing looked at Zhu Ting standing in the hall, and then looked at the King of Chu. His face was full of disbelief and surprise.
"Second cousin!" Yu Xihe walked up to Zhu Ting and said, "Second cousin, you came to Chang'an too. Did you also see the Crown Prince being drugged by the Crown Princess and forced to be a mute slave by your side?"
Zhu Ting had already guessed that the mute slave who suddenly left was of unusual identity. When he saw that the mute slave who had been following him for some time was actually wearing a four-clawed dragon robe and standing in front of the dragon throne, he was so scared that he knelt down repeatedly.
Yun Xiangye just thought Yu Xihe was ridiculous. At this time, she was still concerned about whether the Crown Princess had drugged the Crown Prince?
Your Majesty and the Queen don't care anymore.
Zhao Yun said to Zhu Ting, "Stand up. When I first saw you in Yongxing City, I felt you looked familiar. I never thought you were actually my cousin. Over the years, you have suffered harsh treatment and injustice in the Zhu family. I, your royal brother, will seek justice for you."
Zhu Ting was grateful and stood up and bowed in response.
Zhu Ting was somewhat nervous when he saw all the civil and military officials in the hall. He then looked at Zhao Jing who was kneeling on the ground, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with delicate skin and tender flesh. All the grievances he had suffered from the abuse and mistreatment at home over the years suddenly surged up in his mind.
Zhao Jing also looked at Zhu Ting and said hurriedly, "Father, he just happens to look like you. He is from Yongxing City. He must have been deliberately sent by Gu Yan to harm me! I am your child, father and mother. Mother..."
Zhao Jing really couldn't accept it. He was not the prince of Chu, but just the son of a winery owner.
How is this possible?
The Princess of Chu looked at Zhao Jing kneeling on the ground, her heart filled with grief.
But look at Zhu Ting next to him. He is the same age, but his hands are covered with calluses.
His hands were very white, but this whiteness was obviously formed by years of soaking in wine dregs. There were countless scars and calluses on his hands, and I don't know how much suffering he had endured.
The Princess of Chu had never been to the Zhu family winery, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was treated harshly and abused. It can be seen that Zhu Ting did not have a good life in the Zhu family.
Princess Chu said cruelly, "Zhao Jing, your mother has warned you, but you still refuse to change your ways. You are no longer my son!"
"Mother!" Zhao Jing looked at the Princess of Chu with tears in his eyes, "Mother, you can't give up the child..."
Gu Yan said in a cold voice, "Your biological mother is in Jiangnan. Don't worry, you should be able to see your biological mother before you die. Your mother replaced the royal bloodline and tried to confuse the royal bloodline. This crime is not light. You and your biological mother may die together."
