"Of course, if you don't want to, you can choose a punishment. I believe that as long as you try these punishments, you will confess everything. Lianrui, take him away!" Ning Wanyin said coldly.
Prince Yihe's hair stood on end, and he said in panic, "I confess! I confess everything! I know a big secret. The prince of Daliang is not the biological son of the Emperor of Liang!"
As soon as these words came out, Ning Wanyin, Lian Rui and others all looked at him.
"Is this true?" Lian Rui widened her eyes in disbelief.
Prince Yihe explained:
"You don't know that Emperor Liang had no sons in his early years, and all his concubines gave birth to princesses. At that time, his queen had passed away, and two of the four concubines were pregnant. Whoever gave birth to a son would have a great chance of being promoted to queen and crowned the crown prince!"
"There was a concubine who had an idea. Her brother's concubine happened to be pregnant and gave birth to a son a day earlier! She brought the child into the palace in advance, in case she gave birth to a princess, then she could replace her..."
"At that time, this concubine was in charge of the palace, so she acted secretly and bribed the midwife, so that no one outside knew about it. In the end, she gave birth to a princess and replaced the child..."
"This concubine became the queen as she wished, and her nephew became the crown prince. Another concubine who was one of the four concubines gave birth a few days later and also gave birth to a princess."
"Emperor Liang didn't have another little prince until he was nearly fifty. But the position of crown prince had already been decided. Emperor Liang trusted the prince very much, and the prince already held some military power."
Because the crown prince was twenty years older than his younger brother, Emperor Liang never considered passing the throne to his youngest son and had been cultivating the crown prince.
"Once this matter is exposed, the father and son will fight each other, and Daliang will definitely be in turmoil!" Prince Yihe said excitedly:
"My Queen Mother, the young prince has done a great service to Dayan!"
Ning Wanyin pondered for a moment and stared at him, "Is the news reliable?"
"It's absolutely reliable! The midwife and concubine who knew about this were killed with various excuses such as death due to illness, but before the concubine died, she quietly passed this secret to her biological sister. This concubine's sister is good friends with this prince, and this was the secret she got from me after I got her drunk!"
Prince Yihe has been actively trying to find out the secrets of the Daliang royal family in an attempt to gain control of some secrets that he can use when he returns to his country in the future.
But as a captive, he had no access to the empress or concubines, so he tried to make friends with the concubines' relatives in the palace.
Not only this queen's eldest brother's concubine's sister...
He cast a wide net and made friends with many women of such status, such as the handkerchief friend of the sister-in-law of the imperial concubine, the mistress of the brother-in-law of the sister of the concubine, etc.
He knew a lot about the families of the concubines in the Daliang harem, but other family affairs were of little use. Only the secret about the queen was his greatest achievement, which he was very proud of!
I had planned to wait until I took control of the Great Flame before spreading it out...
Now I can’t care about it anymore in order to save my life!
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to Dayan! I am in Daliang, even though I am in the enemy camp, my heart is with Yan. I will do anything to find out more secrets of Daliang. This time, the Emperor of Liang forced me to go to the capital. It was the Emperor of Liang who forced me to do it... I don't want to take action against you and Your Majesty. After all, you are Miss Tang's cousin, and we are a family..." Prince Yihe used sweet words in an attempt to save his life.
Ning Wanyin pursed her lips and said, "I have seen your loyalty to Da Yan. In consideration of your loyalty to the country, I will allow you to have an intact body."
"Lian Rui, take him down, examine him carefully, and record everything he knows."
"Empress Dowager, I have helped Dayan, I am loyal to you..." Before Prince Yihe could finish his words, Lian Rui had already picked up an orange on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
Holding the zither and chess pieces, they came forward and dragged him away.
