Liu Xuening's child was born, but the prince hadn't been happy for long when he heard other people talking about it.
Now that the prince has proclaimed himself emperor, the child will naturally be named crown prince.
"Why doesn't this prince look like a prince at all?" said a maid. They were usually bored and always liked to chat about trivial things. They seemed to have not noticed that there was a prince next to them.
"I think the prince looks a bit like Marshal Gu," another maid replied, "His features are exactly like Marshal Gu's."
As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. The prince who heard this was also thinking about this problem, and suddenly realized that what those people were discussing was not wrong.
In addition, he recalled how Gu Nancheng and Liu Xuening looked together. The two were very familiar with each other, and it was Gu Nancheng who introduced him to Liu Xuening.
The prince's face did not look very good. After all, those in power were always suspicious, and he had placed great hopes on this child. If his woman and trusted subordinates betrayed him, wouldn't that prove that he was blind?
The prince, who had not been to the princess's room for a long time, went to the princess's room at this time.
His eldest daughter is now ten years old. Because she seldom sees her father, when she sees the prince, she hides behind the princess.
In the past, the prince might have felt that his daughter was not presentable, but now, looking at his daughter's facial features that were similar to his own, he felt a little bit of a fatherly feeling.
The princess saw that the prince was acting so abnormally. Now that Liu Xue Ning had given birth to a son, why would the prince come to her instead of her?
Moreover, she had no idea how much he had disliked her after giving birth to this daughter. Now he was calling her daughter's name so gently, which made the princess even more uneasy. Fortunately, nothing happened.
The prince stayed for a while, and seeing that both of them were bored, he left.
After leaving the palace, the prince didn't know where to go. Instead, he went to the prison to see Jiang Yulin. He sent someone to inquire and found out that this person was also related to Liu Xuening.
Jiang Yulin was now tortured beyond recognition. When he saw the prince coming to ask him about Liu Xuening, he told him everything.
At this moment, the prince was also a little puzzled. Jiang Yulin clearly said that the doctor mentioned that it would be difficult for Liu Xue Ning to have children, so how could she be pregnant so soon?
The prince himself did not think he was that powerful. After all, none of his concubines had gotten pregnant in the past few years.
Thinking of this, the prince felt even more guilty.
After returning to the palace, he asked someone to keep an eye on Gu Nancheng's actions to see if he would contact Liu Xuening.
He went to Liu Xuening's yard less often. After all, as soon as he saw the child, the prince would feel that his eyebrows and eyes were not like his own.
Liu Xuening doesn't want to have too close contact with Gu Nancheng now, as it will be easy to be discovered.
But Gu Nancheng couldn't help it, he thought the prince would never doubt him.
He has become arrogant recently. He has to do whatever he wants. If he is happy today, he must do it.
As a result, it was seen by someone sent by the prince, who immediately reported it to the prince.
The prince came over and caught them red-handed, but the two were just talking and didn't do anything inappropriate.
"Nancheng, it doesn't seem right for you to come directly to my concubine's room without informing me." The prince's voice was low, which frightened the two people.
Gu Nancheng felt a little relieved thinking that he was the only confidant of the prince now, and said, "I just heard that the prince was going to have a prince, so I wanted to come over to congratulate him."
But what he said could be used to fool people before, but it doesn’t work now.
"Take him away and lock him up." After the prince spoke, his personal soldiers came and took Gu Nancheng away directly without listening to his explanation.
As for the weak Liu Xuening standing aside, he had the child taken away and asked her separately, "I will give you another chance. Whose child is this?"
It was the first time that Liu Xuening saw the prince so fierce, but she still knelt down and cried as usual, "Prince, this is your child. Even if I had a hundred courage, I would not dare to do such a thing."
Hearing the woman say this, the prince's eyes relaxed a little. After all, he did not have any solid evidence at the moment.
Moreover, as a man of status, he certainly doesn't want his woman to betray him.
Therefore, after he took the child away, he put Liu Xuening in solitary confinement again, but he was not stingy with her food and still followed the original standards.
I didn't expect that the prince would let Liu Xuening go at this time. Fu Yunxi really admired him.
But since the prince wanted to find evidence, she would deliver it to him, and there was no room for rebuttal of this evidence.
The prince has been feeling unwell recently and originally asked the doctor in the palace to see him, but after a long period of treatment, there was still no effect.
He could only go outside the house to invite a doctor. This doctor was deliberately arranged by Fu Yunxi, but his medical skills were indeed excellent.
The prince's illness was quickly cured, but he was stunned by the doctor's words, "Prince, you were injured in your early years and you probably won't be able to have children. I'll prescribe some medicine to help you recover."
Can’t have children? The prince’s face was so dark that it looked like ink was dripping off.
No wonder none of his concubines got pregnant in all these years. It turned out that the problem was with himself.
He directly ordered his personal soldiers to torture Gu Nancheng and forced him to confess, as he didn't believe that Gu Nancheng would not confess the truth.
Sure enough, Gu Nancheng was beaten to death and told everything.
Seeing that Gu Nancheng had already said it, Liu Xuening could only ask the prince for forgiveness.
The prince didn't want to see the child and ordered the child to be killed. However, long before he gave the order, Fu Yunxi sent someone to bring the child out. After all, the child was innocent, so she had the child sent to the Gu Mansion.
When Mother Gu saw the note saying that the child was her son, she was surprised but she kept it a secret. Fortunately, she was smart enough not to make any noise.
Gu Nancheng was framed and thrown into jail, where he unexpectedly met Jiang Yulin.
When Jiang Yulin learned that the child in Liu Xuening's belly was actually Gu Nancheng's, he thought that these two people were very brave.
With the prince putting pressure on him, it would be easy to deal with Gu Nancheng.
Marshal Gu had no choice but to watch Gu Nancheng being executed. He felt like he was a dozen years older in an instant as the old man saw his young son die.
Fortunately, they still had a grandson, so the Gu family left the imperial capital.
Liu Xuening was imprisoned in the prince's palace. It seemed that the prince did not want to let her die so easily and wanted to humiliate her in hundreds of ways.
Instead, he locked her up in the courtyard and let the concubines who had been humiliated by Liu Xue Ning in the past to cause trouble for her.
"You bitch, how dare you betray the prince." A concubine grabbed Liu Xuening's hair. Liu Xuening had not eaten anything to begin with, and with her hair grabbed, she had no strength to resist.
