Chapter 164 The Emperor Learns He's Been Cuckolded
The Third Prince looked at Master Sun and slowly said with a smile, "When I interrogated him, he told me that he and Consort Wu had a deep and intimate relationship!"
"Your Majesty, this relationship is far from simple; do you understand?"
The Third Prince was giving him face in the end.
The emperor's face turned ashen, and he angrily rebuked the third prince, "Third brother, I know you want to clear the empress's name, but you can't just find anyone to frame Consort Wu."
The Third Prince wasn't angry. He turned to the side and said slowly, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, then listen to what Master Sun has to say."
Having said that, he glanced at Master Sun and said, "Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Consort Wu?"
Master Sun had long been subdued by him. He knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "I am a distant cousin of Consort Wu. I once delivered rouge to the Wu residence, and later Consort Wu took a liking to my family's rouge."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Master Sun continued, "Later, Consort Wu heard that I had several sons, so she wanted to use me to conceive a royal heir."
The emperor was shocked upon hearing this, "You scoundrel! Do you know that you are deceiving the emperor!"
Master Sun was terrified and curled up in a ball, trembling all over. "Your Majesty, I did not lie to you. What I said is the truth. It was Consort Wu who forced me to do this. She even said that if I did not do as she said, she would kill my whole family."
The emperor still didn't believe it, "Utter nonsense!"
He glared angrily at the Third Prince, "Third brother, third brother, I never thought you could be so ruthless, not even sparing a woman."
The Third Prince said coldly, "Brother, you didn't even spare your own wife and children back then."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Master Sun and said, "Brother, we are not just making empty promises; we have evidence."
Master Sun took out a bellyband from his pocket and handed it to the eunuch beside him. “Your Majesty, you can take a look. This is the clothing that Consort Wu always carries with her.”
After saying that, he thought for a moment and raised his voice, "In addition, Consort Wu has a small black mole on her chest and lower back, and a red birthmark three inches below her waist."
These private places were probably unknown to anyone in the entire palace except for the emperor.
Even the palace maids who usually helped Consort Wu bathe were unaware of it.
The emperor was startled; this time, he could no longer deny it.
The Third Prince continued, "Brother, there's no smoke without fire. With so many rumors circulating outside, there must be someone in the palace who knows about this."
The emperor turned pale and was momentarily at a loss for words.
The Third Prince walked to his side and whispered, "Brother, I brought him here without your permission because I was doing this for your own good. If he were taken away by someone else with ulterior motives, this matter would become a big scandal, and the whole capital would know that you have been cuckolded."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's face was immediately filled with hatred.
Although I had been praying that these things weren't true, hearing what Mr. Sun said now made me feel like my pride as a man had been challenged, and I was filled with anger.
Especially since he was still in the presence of the Third Prince, and his younger brother whom he had never liked.
"Third brother, hand this man over to me first," the emperor said, pointing at Master Sun.
The Third Prince shook his head and said, "That won't do. I'm afraid that if my brother gets angry, he'll kill him directly."
The emperor did indeed want to kill him, but the Third Prince intervened and changed his mind. "This matter is of utmost importance, and I will personally investigate."
The Third Prince laughed and said, "Then, Your Majesty, investigate thoroughly and see what exactly happened back then!"
The emperor glared angrily at the Third Prince, but could only let him take Master Sun away.
After the two of them left, the emperor grew angrier and angrier. He could no longer deceive himself. Whether the empress was framed or not was one thing, but Consort Wu was cuckolding him was another.
He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Someone, bring Consort Wu here!"
