Chapter 178 The Truth Comes to Light
"Aren't there still some people who haven't tried it?" King Qin said calmly.
He had never doubted the Sixth Prince. Just now, he glanced at the servants who followed him and saw the man who brought him into the tent that day. No one else paid attention to him, but he noticed that the man's face was obviously filled with a trace of guilt and panic. When Chen Ping'er saw the man, a trace of panic also flashed across her eyes.
The Sixth Prince's wife was not convinced and sneered, "Then let's try again! If the people behind don't react, it means that the princess's poison is useless. The child in our Ping'er's belly is yours, the King of Qin. I hope that Your Highness the King of Qin will not continue to quibble. After all, our Ping'er is not bad in all aspects and is worthy of the King of Qin."
The King of Qin did not respond to the Sixth Prince's wife's words, but looked at Gu Yina seriously and said, "Princess, I still have to trouble you to give that servant a try. He was the one who served in the tent that day."
As he spoke, King Qin pointed six fingers at the guilty servant.
Seeing this, the Sixth Prince's wife was furious and said, "Prince Qin, you really want to get rid of your responsibilities and marry the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Not only do you not recognize your own child, but you also insult my daughter. It's better to do this, so that everyone can see what kind of person you, the Prince Qin, are..."
Before the Sixth Prince's wife could finish her words, she heard Pei Jinyu beside her exclaim, "It's in! It's in! The bug has gotten into his body!"
When the black little bug touched the boy's wrist, it drilled into his body without hesitation.
"What? This..." When the Sixth Prince's wife saw this scene, her face froze instantly and she looked at the servant in disbelief.
At the same time, the Sixth Prince's face was ashen. What was going on? Didn't Chen Ping'er say that she was insulted by the King of Qin? Why did she get pregnant with the child of her servant?
At this time, Chen Bing'er's face had already turned pale with fright. She had not expected that this little bug was so powerful that it could really find out the father of the child in her belly!
Xu Qingyan also widened her eyes in shock, and screamed in her heart: [Oh my God! What kind of gossip is this! There is actually a gossip that I missed? This is different from what is written in the book! The book says that Chen Ping'er will be pregnant with the only son of the Sixth Prince, how come this son is now the servant's? Did I miss it? ]
She was still very curious, but then she changed her mind and realized that many things had changed since she had traveled through the book. This time, perhaps it was also due to the influence of her traveling through the book, causing the butterfly effect to occur in all things.
The emperor on the throne was relieved after seeing this result. His sons had been involved in scandals one after another. If something happened to the Prince of Qin this time, he would be so angry that he would die.
After drinking a sip of tea, the emperor looked coldly at Chen Ping'er and the Sixth Prince's wife and said, "Do you have anything else to explain? Now the truth is out. Do you want to explain yourself, or let me interrogate this servant!"
"How could this be? This shouldn't be the case! Ping'er, what's going on?" The Sixth Prince's wife still didn't understand why Chen Ping'er was pregnant with a slave's child. It was impossible for her sister to fall in love with a slave!
Chen Bing'er had already been frightened out of her wits, she stammered, not knowing what to say.
When the emperor saw that they were silent, he waved his hand and ordered people to interrogate the boy.
When the servant heard that he was going to be interrogated, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and confessed everything, saying, "Your Majesty, please spare me! I said... I said... it was like this, that day the Sixth Prince was supposed to..."
The servant told him everything about how the Sixth Prince had planned to plot against the King of Qin that day, and how Chen Ping'er had slept with him after the King of Qin ran away.
The more the emperor listened, the gloomier his expression became. This time, he was not only angry because Chen Ping'er had wrongly accused the King of Qin, but also because the Sixth Prince had actually attempted to frame the King of Qin before!
"Sixth Prince! Do you admit everything he said?" The emperor looked in a deep voice at the Sixth Prince who was standing there, already panicking.
"Father, I..." The Sixth Prince had a bitter look on his face. He wanted to defend himself, but when he saw the evidence, he felt that his words were so pale.
The Sixth Prince's wife was even more stunned. She originally wanted to come back to help the Sixth Prince destroy the King of Qin so that the Sixth Prince could return to the struggle for power. She never thought that things would turn out like this. Not only did she fail, but she also convicted the Sixth Prince of a crime!
The King of Qin listened, he was as calm as a pine tree, he stood there straight, his face showed no sadness or joy, his whole body exuded calmness and dignity.
"Come here, take the Sixth Prince to the Imperial Mausoleum and remove his entourage. No one is allowed to visit the Sixth Prince in the Imperial Mausoleum without my order!" the Emperor gave the order in a cold voice.
Previously, the punishment was just to make the Sixth Prince guard the Imperial Mausoleum, but he was still allowed to bring his own people and communicate with the outside world. But this time, the Emperor directly locked the Sixth Prince in the Imperial Mausoleum as a prisoner, so that he could no longer contact the outside world, which was completely deprived of his hope.
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince collapsed to the ground and begged for mercy: "Father...I know I was wrong! Please forgive me! Father, I was just confused for a moment! I..."
"Someone, take the Sixth Prince away!" The Emperor was extremely disappointed with his son and waved his hand to have him taken away.
The queen beside him watched the Sixth Prince being dragged away mercilessly. A touch of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. The management of the Royal Concubine for many years was finally in vain! At the same time, she looked at the King of Qin and the Crown Prince's Concubine with appreciation, with a little relief in her eyes.
The Sixth Prince's wife was also sent to the imperial mausoleum by the Emperor, together with the Sixth Prince. As for Chen Ping'er, she was sentenced to prison for false accusation, while the servant who made Chen Ping'er pregnant was acquitted.
"I really didn't expect that I could see such a good show when I came to the palace today! Hey! Princess, if there is such an interesting activity next time, please remember to call me!" After leaving the palace, Gu Yina walked beside Xu Qingyan and exclaimed happily.
"This time, it's all thanks to the princess's poisonous insect. Otherwise, the King of Qin would not have been cleared so smoothly. In the final analysis, I still have to thank the princess." Xu Qingyan sighed after thinking about what happened today.
If it weren't for this poisonous insect, she wouldn't have known that the child in Chen Ping'er's belly was actually the son of a servant of the Sixth Prince.
Gu Yina smiled and said, "These are all small matters. I have a lot of treasures in my hands. If there is anything fun in the future, remember to call me! By the way, Miss Pei, now you believe that I will not steal your future husband, right?"
After saying that, Gu Yina looked at Pei Jinyu beside her frankly. She didn't want to be thought of as a woman who liked to steal other people's husbands.
At this moment, Pei Jinyu was full of gratitude towards Gu Yina. She looked at her with a smile and thanked her, "The princess is kind and sincere, and is a friend worth making. I was mean before, and that's why I misunderstood the princess."
