The Crown Princess's nose is quite upturned, while Young Master Qingyun's nose is straight, but not upturned at all. Speaking of eyebrows, the Crown Princess has crescent-shaped eyebrows, while Young Master Qingyun has sword-like eyebrows that fly straight into his temples...
Oh, I've discovered that Young Master Qingyun and the Crown Princess don't look like siblings, but rather like his well-maintained sister!"
Finally, the imperial concubine expressed the doubts that had been hidden in her heart for many years.
She had discovered this as early as ten years ago when Murong Qingyun entered the palace. Besides her, many people at the palace banquet had noticed it.
Murong Qingyun and the queen look so much alike. Although they don't look as similar as the prince and the queen, they still look like they were cast from the same mold.
I still remember that the emperor doted on the queen very much and was on close terms with Marshal Murong. Not only did he confer the title of first-rank marshal on him, he also named the 400,000 Nanyue troops led by Murong Qingyu, which were allocated by the late emperor, as the Murong Family Army, allowing him to have a private army to guard the Nanyue Kingdom.
A total of 400,000 troops were transferred from state-owned to privately owned. At that time, many people privately discussed that Emperor De Zheng was a prodigal son.
However, since that palace banquet, the emperor's attitude towards the empress has become noticeably colder, and he has also been secretly suppressing Murong Qingyu. He even demanded that Murong Qingyu return the 400,000-man Murong family army to Nanyue. However, Murong Qingyu hid the Murong family army, claiming that the Murong family army had suffered countless casualties while guarding the border, and that they had been completely annihilated. As a result, Emperor Dezheng was ultimately unable to recover the army as he wished.
Everyone has always had a bold guess in their minds that the queen cheated on the emperor. If the emperor had not failed to retrieve the 400,000 troops, Murong Qingyu would have been executed long ago.
Today was an opportunity. If Murong Qingyun was confirmed to be Xia Muwan's biological son, Xia Muwan would be guilty of adultery, punishable by death. Qian Yeming, though innocent, would undoubtedly be implicated. Even if the crime wasn't punishable by death, the crown prince's position would have to be relinquished to someone more virtuous.
"Ling Yingzhen, what do you mean?" The queen finally understood why the bitch Ling Yingzhen came here and called the emperor.
Because Qingyun looks so much like her, generally speaking, she would never let Qingyun enter the palace unless it was an occasion that she absolutely had to attend.
Someone leaked the news today, allowing the Emperor to catch Qingyun red-handed. And Murong Qingyu wasn't around at the moment. What if the Emperor really got angry and killed Qingyun...
The queen's heart tightened and she began to think of a way to retreat in a hurry.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? I just said that Young Master Qingyun and you look like siblings. Is there anything wrong with that? You two look alike, and looking alike doesn't mean anything. Why are you so angry?"
The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, knowing that the more she said at this moment, the more mistakes she would make, so it would be better to keep quiet.
However, her silence didn't mean the Imperial Concubine, who had been waiting for such a good opportunity for a long time, would give up such a good opportunity. Seeing that the Emperor had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, I didn't realize it until you were angry. Now that you're angry, I realize that when Young Master Qingyun was little, you often liked to take him to the palace to play. Could it be... could it be that Young Master Qingyun and the Crown Prince were taken by mistake?"
Glancing at the pale faces of the audience, the Imperial Concubine suddenly realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately tried to smooth things over, "Oh, look at what I said! How could the Crown Prince have been taken away by mistake?"
The Imperial Noble Consort's words suddenly gave Emperor Dezheng an idea.
