Chapter 475: Shocking Palace Secrets

Upon hearing Queen Mother Yin's words, Xiao Jinxuan and Xie Zhuoning raised their heads abruptly.

Song Yuqiu also widened her eyes, "She reacted to the word Jing Fei. Keep talking and keep provoking her."

Xie Zhuoning walked up to Queen Mother Yin, stared at her face carefully, and asked, "What do you want to do with Concubine Jing?"

"I will cut her into pieces!" said Queen Mother Yin viciously.

Her memory at this time was probably still stuck at the time when she was the empress, so she even called herself "this concubine" instead of "Ai Jia".

Xie Zhuoning continued, "But she has already died."

"You lied to me. Wasn't she standing there?" Queen Mother Yin looked in the direction where Xiao Jinxuan was standing.

Seventy to eighty percent of Xiao Jinxuan's handsome appearance was inherited from Concubine Jing. Empress Dowager Yin was now unconscious, and in a trance, she even thought that Concubine Jing had returned.

Queen Mother Yin looked at him, the intense hatred in her eyes could not be concealed at all, "Why did you come back? How can you have the nerve to come back? Since you are already married, why do you have to come and seduce the emperor? You have made this palace a joke, and the entire harem a joke!"

The words uttered unconsciously caused a shocking wave.

Xiao Jinxuan's pupils narrowed suddenly.

Was Concubine Jing married before entering the palace?

Xie Zhuoning grabbed his hand and held it, then he casually guided him, "You are lying. When did Concubine Jing get married? You said she got married, who did she marry?"

"Oh," Empress Dowager Yin snorted coldly, "Don't think that the emperor is covering up for her and I don't know? My brother's wife seduced my brother, which is simply ridiculous. But the emperor was deceived by her and made her a concubine. Do they think everyone in the world is blind?"

Sister-in-law...

Is Concubine Jing actually the sister-in-law of Emperor Shunde?

Emperor Shunde had many brothers, but only Prince Gong was born to the same mother.

Prince Gong had been in poor health since childhood, and had no children even after being married for more than ten years. Not long after his death, the princess also followed him out of grief.

The love between the two was so deep that it became a legend.

Could it be that Prince Gong's wife did not die, but was taken into the palace by the emperor and became Concubine Jing?

This is too horrifying!

But if you think carefully about Concubine Jing's life, you will find that after she entered the palace, although she was favored by the late emperor, she had always lived in a secluded palace and rarely went out to see people.

Is it because she is afraid that people will find out that she is the late Princess Gong?

The more Xie Zhuoning thought about it, the more confused she became. She quickly and nervously looked at Xiao Jinxuan, but saw that he had his eyelashes drooped and was expressionless.

But the veins on his clenched hand were bulging, as if he had used up all his strength.

A woman married two men, both of whom were brothers.

If this happened to anyone, it would be enough to destroy the world.

Song Yuqiu stood aside and didn't dare to say a word.

The secrets of the palace, these are definitely the secrets of the palace.

In palace fighting dramas, people who know such secrets usually end up being silenced.

She was holding onto her sister Zhuoning's thigh, so she shouldn't have ended up like that, right?

Xie Zhuoning asked Queen Mother Yin many more questions. Sometimes Queen Mother Yin looked confused, and sometimes she gritted her teeth.

"She's pregnant, and she gave birth to a son, who is so tiny, but the emperor wants to make that bastard the crown prince! On what grounds? Why would a bastard compete with my son? Fortunately, I found out that she was pregnant before she entered the palace, which means that the bastard is most likely the posthumous child left by Prince Gong. The emperor, that idiot, is so happy to be someone's stepfather! Hahahaha..."

Queen Mother Yin burst into laughter. The hatred and secrets that she had suppressed for so long finally came to light today. She laughed like crazy.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager's room, Xiao Jinxuan had a confused look on his face.

At this moment, he didn't even know who he was.

Xie Zhuoning grabbed his hand and looked at him seriously, "Don't think too much. I believe there must be some hidden story behind this. Besides, Queen Mother Yin is not in a clear state of mind now. She speaks incoherently. Not everything she says may be true."

The only thing they could be sure of now was that Concubine Jing was the original wife of Prince Gong.

As for the rest, perhaps the Empress Dowager will have to give him the final answer.

Before leaving Fu'an Temple, Xie Zhuoning decided to solve Shen Yanyu's big problem.

She called him over and told her about the Queen Mother Yin being knocked unconscious. "Even if the Queen Mother is not dead, you can't escape the charge of murdering her. I give you two choices. One is to come back with us and confess your guilt. Whether you will be beheaded or not depends on the judgment from above."

"Two, two, two, two!" Shen Yanyu made a choice hurriedly without waiting for her to finish.

Which normal person would choose to be beheaded?

Xie Zhuoning nodded and continued, "Second, I'll have someone prepare some information and a new identity for you. You should stay out of the spotlight and come back when you have the chance."

"Let's choose this one." Shen Yanyu nodded, hesitated for a while, and then said, "But, can we not bring Nanny Gui with us?"

Xie Zhuoning originally didn't want her to bring anyone with her. She thought they were going on vacation, with a bunch of maids and servants.

Besides, Nanny Gui was sent to Shen Yanyu by the Crown Prince's concubine Shen Shuyu, so it was even more impossible for her to stay.

However, Xie Zhuoning was still a little curious, "Why don't you bring Aunt Gui? Isn't this the person your sister gave you?"

Shen Yanyu hesitated for a moment, but still lowered her voice and said, "To be honest, I feel that my sister doesn't look like my sister anymore."

Her elder sister used to be the most educated, gentle and virtuous person in the family, and she loved them the most.

But perhaps it was because of the influence of her environment after entering the palace that her sister became a different person.

Not only is her behavior very different from before, but even her eyes are charming and seductive, like a seductress.

That was the look that my dignified sister hated the most.

But now my sister has become that kind of person.

Something seemed to flash through Xie Zhuoning's mind, causing her to narrow her eyes thoughtfully.

"Okay, I promise you." She asked Feiyunwei to quietly send Shen Yanyu away.

Before leaving, Shen Yanyu turned back, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"Anything else you want to say?" Xie Zhuoning asked her.

She muttered quietly, "I was wondering, you are obviously a concubine, how come you act more like the principal wife than I do?"

After all, she was Prince Xuan's concubine, and everything was arranged clearly by her, a concubine.

Xie Zhuoning laughed, "You have never slept with His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, and you are still a virgin. Don't call yourself Prince Xuan's concubine in the future. Remember, from now on, you are just a lady from an ordinary family."

"I know, I know." Shen Yanyu wanted to save her life, so she naturally obeyed the orders.

While Xie Zhuoning made arrangements for Shen Yanyu, Xiao Jinxuan also suppressed the matter neatly and efficiently.

When the two returned to Prince Xuan's mansion, a servant came to report, "Princess, someone brought you a letter."
