Chapter 422 Caught
"This Prince Yi is a prince of a different surname from the Cheng Kingdom. He is not very old, probably around 25 years old."
[If Shen...Cheng was involved with someone like this, their ages would be appropriate.]
[It seems that these two got together in Chengguo. ]
【We came together to the Great Chu Kingdom to complete the cause of revenge. 】
"You also know about Chengguo. When Marquis Dingguo and his entourage arrived in Chengguo, the royal family of Chengguo had already fled in all directions."
"Of course, this also includes some noble children."
"I think Prince Yi and Cheng Shi took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the territory of the Great Chu State during that time."
[Father, you are not managing this properly! ]
[What kind of negligence could allow two fugitives from foreign royal families to escape all the way to the territory of the Great Chu State?]
[It’s understandable that they arrived in the Great Chu Kingdom, after all, the border areas are in chaos. But the two of them went all the way into the capital! ]
[This kind of people can enter the capital, then......]
[Father needs to strengthen management! ]
The Great Chu Emperor took Lu Xingwan's mumbling to heart.
What Wanwan said was indeed a big deal. The emperor allowed foreigners to run rampant.
The Great Chu Emperor was still talking about Prince Yi and Cheng: "Yingyi checked and found that Prince Yi is the fiancé of the fifth princess of Cheng State."
"And Yingyi has already shown me the portrait of the Fifth Princess of Chengguo. It is exactly the same as Shen Ning."
Song Qingyan finally spoke: "So Cheng fled all the way to the capital with the help of her fiancé."
"Perhaps to avenge His Majesty, or perhaps to survive, the two chose to settle in the capital."
"Later..."
Song Qingyan didn't say anything next, but everyone understood.
Later, Cheng got to know Shen Ning by chance. Coincidentally, Shen Ning was chosen to enter the palace at that time, so Cheng chose to replace her.
How innocent is Shen Ning?
At this point, there is no need for further review.
But Prince Yi was still hiding in the palace, so they had to use a trick to lure him out.
[So Father is not sincere in wanting to release Cheng tonight? ]
[But Father set up such a trick? ]
Song Qingyan also asked, "Your Majesty, do you think that as long as the gate of Jinxiu Palace is opened, Prince Yi will be unable to hold back and go to Jinxiu Palace to inquire?"
The Great Chu Emperor nodded, his eyes full of admiration.
Both mother and daughter are much smarter than I thought.
"Now the Jinxiu Palace is not guarded at all, only a shadow and a person remain."
"But as soon as Ying Yi makes a move, Wei Cheng will immediately lead his men to surround them and catch them both red-handed."
"Your Majesty," Meng Quande's voice suddenly rang out from outside, "Commander Wei is here."
[It looks like Wei Cheng has some news! ]
The Great Chu Emperor stood up quickly and went forward to open the door.
Wei Cheng bowed to the Great Chu Emperor and then said, "Your Majesty, we caught him."
The Emperor of Great Chu was about to walk out.
[Father, I have to go there every night! ]
But he was stopped by Lu Xingwan's words.
Turning his head to look at Lu Xingwan, whose eyes were sparkling in Song Qingyan's arms, he sighed softly: "Qingyan, come together?"
"It would be better if you come forward to speak about Shen Ning's matter."
Song Qingyan was originally reluctant to face Cheng again, but seeing Wanwan's longing expression and thinking that the Great Chu Emperor's words made sense, she finally nodded.
The Great Chu Emperor was right. It would be better for a woman to handle Shen Ning's matter.
When the group arrived at the Jinxiu Palace, they saw Prince Yi being held outside and Cheng Shi being pressed on the bed.
It seems that the two people have not met yet.
Let alone what happened to Prince Yi, the sight of Cheng being pinned to the bed was truly...
[Otherwise, it is said that Wei Cheng is not worthy of a wife! 】
[This is too much of a show of indifference to women. You might as well have someone tie Cheng up and give her some dignity.]
However, the Great Chu Emperor did not want too many people to know about these things, so he pointed to Cheng's position and said to Wei Cheng: "Tie her up, and you all leave."
He pointed at Prince Yi outside and said, "And him, tie him up too."
Jin Xin knew that they were going to send the servants out again, so she obediently handed Lu Xingwan in her arms to Song Qingyan, and then said, "My queen, the man kneeling is Eunuch Lin."
After saying this, he went out without looking back.
Song Qingyan was stunned for a moment.
This Prince Yi is Eunuch Lin, which shows that from the very beginning their goal was your Majesty's kingdom, not the beauties in the harem.
No wonder Cheng aborted her own unborn child.
No wonder Cheng never took action against pregnant concubines.
The people she targeted at the beginning were the emperor and the prince...
Yes, she should have known all this a long time ago. Could it be that she entered the palace in Shen Ning's place just for glory and wealth?
It was a coincidence that Shen Ning became the empress. Who could have expected it?
Everyone left, and the Great Chu Emperor sat in front of Shen Ning and began to talk to her: "I didn't know that the princess of Chengguo had such ability?"
Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
It seems that the Emperor of Chu has already recognized his identity.
Then he snorted coldly: "It seems you know everything."
Seeing her like this, Song Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "Shen Ning is so innocent, how could you do this to her?"
"How could I have done that?" Cheng was tied up tightly and thrown to the ground. She looked at Song Qingyan in front of her fiercely, "Song Qingyan, don't think you have nothing to do with it."
"Now it's the King of Success who has defeated the enemy. I will accept whatever you say. Is Shen Ning innocent? Are the people of my Cheng country not innocent? Are the souls who died under the swords of your Great Chu country not innocent?"
The Great Chu Emperor shook his head and said, "It seems that you are putting the blame for the ruin of your country on me."
"Did you know that the Great Chu State took over Cheng State when there was no one to take care of it?"
"Bah!" Cheng spat heavily, "Stop flattering yourself."
Seeing that she was not interested, the Emperor of Great Chu simply turned his head away and ignored her.
Song Qingyan didn't mind giving her the final blow: "You have only thought about revenge in the past two years, but do you know what kind of life the people of Chengguo lived in the past? And what kind of life are they living now?"
"You really don't know?"
"You just don't want to know and admit your father and brother's failure!"
"Shut up! Shut up!" Cheng was wriggling on the ground like a madman, completely losing her former elegant and graceful appearance.
It seems that she understood in her heart, but she just tried to cover up the truth.
Several people looked at Cheng lying on the ground and stopped talking. The room suddenly became silent except for Cheng's cursing.
The Great Chu Emperor stood up and walked outside alone, to the side of Prince Yi.
He reached out and took out the cloth stuffed in his mouth, then looked at King Yi without saying a word.
