Not long ago, Concubine Dong and Hongling were discussing Yaer's death and were overheard by Nanny Sun.
Concubine Dong: "Ya'er worked so hard for Concubine Shu, yet not a single one of her nine clans survived. Haha, how foolish."
Hongling: "Ah! I heard that Ya'er was about to confess."
Concubine Dong: "That's why Concubine Shu couldn't wait to silence her! She wanted to exterminate all nine of her clans, and the Zhong family was the most enthusiastic."
Hong Ling: "Oh my god! Ya'er worked so hard for Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu won't spare a single one of her? Wouldn't that mean Ya'er's family will be extinct?"
When Nanny Sun thought of this, her hands and feet turned cold.
She kowtowed hard, her forehead banging loudly on the bluestone slabs. "The Imperial Concubine did give this old slave two voodoo dolls, on which were written the birth date of the little princess! The little princess was not born by the Imperial Concubine Shu, but..."
"Your Majesty, she is lying!" Concubine Shu was shocked. Could it be that this cunning servant was so bold?
Nanny Sun was afraid that Imperial Concubine Shu wouldn't give her a chance to finish, so she spoke as fast as a fart. "Concubine Zhao gave birth to a little princess that day! But the Imperial Concubine and the Ninth Prince didn't go to announce the good news! The midwife secretly went to the main hall with the child, and then the little princess became the Ninth Prince!"
She doesn't care whether there is evidence or not, she just speaks first!
Everyone was shocked!
The tyrant emperor was also shocked, he had never thought of this possibility!
Concubine Shu staggered a few steps, her calves feeling weak.
Matron Chai supported her in time and comforted her quietly: "Your Highness, calm down. Her words are not reliable."
Concubine Shu calmed herself and looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, "Does Your Majesty really want to listen to her one-sided words? Even Concubine Zhao wouldn't dare to speak so recklessly! I risked my life to give birth to this little princess, and I absolutely cannot tolerate being slandered by a mean slave!"
Since it concerns Tianbao, the foolish king's mind is not as confused as usual.
He observed Concubine Shu's expression coldly and asked, "Where was the midwife that day?"
Zhang Fujin hurriedly sent people to look for her. Concubine Dong sneered, "Your Majesty, do you think Concubine Shu will have someone find a midwife? Summon Concubine Zhao and ask her. We'll know."
Concubine Shu was trembling as she held Madam Chai's hands.
What should we do now that the foolish emperor has become less foolish since he had the little princess?
Soon, the queen came in person, holding Tianbao and Zhao Cairen.
When Concubine Zhao saw so many people in Xuehan Palace, she felt uneasy: Could it be that something happened to Concubine Dong again?
The tyrant emperor looked at Concubine Zhao with a complicated expression. "Let me ask you, were you really born a princess that day? Or were you later switched to become Little Nine?"
Zhao Cairen's heart exploded with excitement. She fell to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down her face before she could say a word.
"Just say something! Why are you crying?" Concubine Dong rolled her eyes in frustration.
Consort Zhao quickly suppressed her emotions and choked up, saying, "Your Majesty, I truly gave birth to a little princess that day."
"Aiya!"
Tianbao cooperated by shouting twice, as if calling her mother.
Zhao Cairen turned her head and took a look, tears welling in her eyes: "I don't know why, the princess turned into a prince."
"Then why didn't you defend yourself that day?" The Queen lost her composure, her shocked eyes moving back and forth between Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhao.
Zhao Cairen kept wiping away her tears: "I was also confused that day. Without any evidence, I dare not say that it was the Imperial Concubine who replaced Tianbao."
"Someone, slap him!" Concubine Shu couldn't suppress the fear in her heart at all, so she just bluffed.
With the emperor and empress present, who would dare to listen to her crazy talk?
Even Nanny Chai did not step forward, but just secretly pinched her arm, trying to calm Concubine Shu down.
Tian Bao felt that now was a great opportunity to get his mother back. He frowned and glared at Concubine Shu, trying to make a terrified look: "Wow... Wow..."
Zhao Cairen looked over with distress.
Concubine Shu was distraught and didn't pay attention: "The Zhong family has devoted themselves to the emperor, and even if they haven't worked hard, they have worked hard. I have been in the palace for nearly seven years, and I have given birth to a son and a daughter for the royal family. It is really not easy. They are wronging me, Your Majesty!"
Even the Zhong family moved out.
Concubine Dong sneered: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of blood tests? We'll know if it's true or not after a test."
Concubine Shu shuddered, her face turned pale in an instant, and she didn't know where to look with her guilty eyes.
Zhao Cairen raised her head frankly, but her eyes looked at Tianbao with heartache: "Tianbao is so young, it will be very painful to draw blood, I...I don't want to."
The tyrant king was unwilling to take Tianbao's blood, but seeing the reactions of the two people, he suddenly understood something.
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about this? Ya'er wanted to frame me back then, and now Nanny Sun is also trying to frame me. They are both from Mingyue Palace. What is their purpose?"
"Whenever there's a frame-up, someone always benefits. According to Nanny Sun, the Ninth Prince I'm raising now must be Noble Concubine Shu's biological son. That's why, after Concubine Zhao got into trouble, she took the initiative to take on the responsibility of raising the Ninth Prince. This way, she can raise her own son by her side, and the little princess can bring her endless honor and favor!"
"No, you're talking nonsense!" Concubine Shu didn't know how to defend herself anymore.
After all, every word Concubine Dong said was her carefully planned plan!
Even when the tyrant emperor favored Consort Zhao, it was she who openly whispered to the tyrant emperor about it after she was favored. The tyrant emperor was so absorbed in carpentry at the time that he had no time to think about the struggles in the harem.
She had been planning it from the very beginning.
After all, the probability of two people being pregnant is greater than that of one person giving birth to a little princess!
God helped her, she and Zhao Cairen actually became pregnant at the same time, and even gave birth on the same day!
"Woo-wah! Woo-wah!" Tianbao tried hard to stare at Concubine Shu, and shouted twice in a baby voice, as if he was arguing with her.
The tyrant's eyes lit up: "Tianbao, come and identify him."
The queen, still immersed in shock, glanced helplessly at the tyrant.
At a time like this, couldn't he be more dignified and majestic? What did a baby who had just turned one month old know?
If this gets out, his reputation as a fool will be further tarnished!
The tyrant emperor took Tianbao as a matter of course and said, "Tianbao, who is your mother?"
Concubine Shu's face was pale and her body was stiff, not daring to move.
Tianbao pointed towards Zhao Cairen without hesitation and babbled: Mother!
The foolish emperor looked up at the sky, and he seemed to understand everything.
"No wonder Tianbao never lets you get close to her. She can be hugged by anyone, but she cries so fearfully when you hug her. It turns out that my Tianbao had already given me a warning. I never expected you to be so vicious!"
The queen nodded, as if everything could be explained.
"You are not worthy of being my mother. Even Xiaojiu won't recognize you! You are a black-hearted, vicious woman!" The tyrant emperor gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowed, and murderous intent appeared. "Zhong has brought disaster to the royal heir. You are so vicious. Your title will be stripped away, and you will be demoted to a concubine and exiled to the cold palace!"
Cai Nu is the lowest rank in Nan Qiao's harem.
Concubine Shu could no longer stand, her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground.
Nanny Chai was heartbroken and quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! All of this was done by this old slave. The Imperial Concubine was completely unaware of it! The Imperial Concubine always thought she was giving birth to a little princess."
Concubine Shu was shocked.
Nanny Chai was the wet nurse who watched her grow up, and was even closer to her than her biological mother.
But one death is better than two.
She quickly made up her mind and looked at Madam Chai in astonishment, "Madam, why are you doing this? This is a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor. Why are you putting me in a position of disloyalty and inhumanity?"
Aunt Chai, I will burn a lot of paper money for you in the future!
Concubine De, who was so engrossed in watching the show, lost her composure.
She can't stand anyone who is more arrogant than her!
Concubine Shu is on a dead end, and she absolutely cannot create a way out just like that!
