The virtuous king learned that there was a fire in his backyard, and that the princess, whom he had always trusted, had actually cuckolded him.
How could he accept it?
He killed them with his reliable guards.
In order to preserve the reputation of Prince Xian's Mansion, and even more so to protect his two children.
The Xianwang Mansion spread the rumor that the Xianwang Princess had given up the worldly life overnight.
Song Shumin's fantasy was shattered.
I didn't expect that the person I carefully chose would drag me into the abyss.
When she wanted to go back to the county lady's mansion to calm down, the wise king carried her into the carriage.
How could the servants dare to stop him?
It is said that when Song Shumin returned home that night, her clothes were disheveled and she was soaked. She locked herself in the room for three whole days and did not speak to anyone.
Later, the virtuous king entered the palace and asked Queen Dowager Liu to marry Song Shumin.
"So there is this connection..." Zhao Yunzhu felt a little pain in her heart after hearing this. Song Shumin is now an orphan just like her. She is destined to have no one to rely on and can only be at the mercy of others.
"She's a poor person too."
Zhao Yunzhu sighed.
"By the way, can you show me the things you got from County Lady Shumin earlier?"
After he learned about it, he had been thinking about it, but he was too busy to take care of it.
"Wait a minute, I'll get it."
Zhao Yunzhu came to her senses and hurried to get it. The thing was tied to the wooden frame at the bottom of the bed.
She had only seen some of them before, and there were some others she had not seen.
Qin Zongzhi took the thing from Zhao Yunzhu and opened the outer wrapping.
The above contains some evidence of Prince Song's forming a clique for personal gain, as well as some letters concerning the deposed crown prince and his maternal grandfather's family.
Who would have thought that there was a loyal and righteous king in Chang'an.
There is another face in secret.
"I didn't expect that King Song would hold such a grudge because of what happened with the Lin family back then."
Qin Zongzhi watched one by one as these dusty past events that had been buried for many years were once again dusted off, revealing the cruel truth of that year.
"I'm afraid Song Shumin has already seen these things."
Qin Zongzhi closed the things again and looked at her with a serious expression.
The thing was given to her by Song Shumin, so of course she had seen it.
Zhao Yunzhu naturally believed this.
"That's all. I'll have someone investigate the rest. Don't worry about it. Just focus on getting well."
Qin Zongzhi's burning gaze fell on her abdomen.
The corners of his lips unconsciously rose, his heart and eyes full of anticipation.
This scene made Zhao Yunzhu feel a little bit reluctant.
"Okay, you rest up first, I'll go out first." Qin Zongzhi saw the reluctance in her eyes, stood up with a smile, and gave her a few more instructions before leaving with peace of mind.
Zhao Yunzhu looked at his leaving back and wanted to call him.
But there seemed to be something blocking my throat.
In the end, no sound was made.
"Why."
Thousands of thoughts finally turned into a light sigh.
…
After Qin Zongzhi left, he went straight to the study, entered the study, closed the door, and did not ask the servants to come in and serve him.
He walked quickly to the desk and pushed the things on it aside.
His eyes were full of anxiety.
The letters inside included a report that King Song Lian and Empress Dowager Liu's family were willing to stand by and watch as all the male members of the Lin family died in battle in order to overthrow the deposed prince's maternal grandfather's family.
The women of the Lin family did not hang themselves. Instead, Empress Dowager Liu used the "conclusive evidence" that the Lin family was a traitor to the enemy and forced the women and children of the Lin family to hang themselves. Otherwise, Empress Dowager Liu could use the evidence in her hands to not only get rid of the Lin family, but also get rid of the deposed prince.
In order to protect the prince, the women and children of the Lin family suffered such a tragic scene.
When Prince An was sent back to the palace, Prince Song and Queen Mother Liu secretly framed the deposed crown prince for the incident.
Prince Rong has been weak since birth, Prince Xian is a reckless man, the Crown Prince has lost the support of his maternal family, and now there is another prince in the palace.
In order to preserve his position, he secretly arranged for someone to send Prince An out of the palace.
"Deposed Crown Prince?"
Qin Zongzhi recalled the appearance of the deposed crown prince, such a graceful and upright young man. Even though his maternal grandfather's entire family died tragically, he never questioned or demanded justice.
Who would do all this for a prince who was just born to an unfavored concubine and whose life span is unknown?
Naturally, he didn't believe it. This was probably not a simple matter.
The further he looked back, the colder Qin Zongzhi felt.
Empress Dowager Liu was actually unable to bear children. When she was still in the boudoir, she fell into the water and caught a cold, which caused her to suffer from a cold body.
However, after the doctor invited by the Liu family to see Empress Dowager Liu found out that Miss Liu was infertile, the doctor's clinic closed the next day.
Then the doctor disappeared without a trace.
That's why Miss Liu San was declared dead, and then there was a maidservant beside Empress Dowager Liu.
The twelfth prince was born to the third daughter of the Liu family and the late emperor.
The late emperor was unaware of all this, as Empress Dowager Liu and the Liu family concealed the truth.
It turns out that King Song also had some influence on this.
Prince Song joined forces with the Liu family to completely overthrow the deposed crown prince.
It was all because of an old grudge.
Back then, King Song took his ten-year-old son to the battlefield to fight the enemy. Originally, King Song was sure of a 100% chance of winning, but who would have thought that the spy who went to gather information would report back with false information about the enemy.
King Song was trapped in an ambush and was trapped in the city. The people who went to the neighboring city to get reinforcements from the Lin family had not returned yet.
Eventually the city was captured, and when King Song led his confidants to retreat, his only son was captured by the enemy.
In the end, King Song watched as his only son's body was separated and hung on the city wall by the enemy's spears.
Even though the Lin family army arrived in time, it was difficult to change the outcome. Because of that battle, King Song could no longer have children.
The two families have been at odds with each other since then.
…
Zhao Yunzhu has been particularly sleepy lately.
I had only slept for half an hour when I heard rustling noises coming from the corridor outside the window.
She turned sideways to look at the door and saw Aunt Hua lifting the curtain and walking in.
Seeing that she had her eyes open, Aunt Hua couldn't help but quicken her pace, "Miss, are you awake? Would you like some tea?"
Seeing her stand up, Nanny Hua quickly stepped forward and took out a soft pillow to place behind her.
"What's that in Mammy's hand?"
Zhao Yunzhu saw the beige invitation in Aunt Hua's hand and looked curious.
"This? This is an invitation from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion."
Aunt Hua presented the invitation to her. Zhao Yunzhu took it and examined it carefully. "Marquis Yong'an's Mansion?"
"Adopted?"
"Didn't Prince Du and Miss Liu get married not long ago? Why are they going to be adopted into the clan so soon?"
Aunt Hua stepped forward with a proud smile, "Miss, you may not know this, but I heard that the young lady from the Liu family was found to be infertile, so they are anxious to adopt a child from the family. After all, Mingyue's belly is quite big."
Bright moon?
Zhao Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses.
The maid in Madam Du's room had been having an affair with Master Du for a long time. Mingyue was pregnant before the girl from the Liu family got married.
Later I heard that Mingyue was secretly kept outside by Master Du.
