Chapter 13 The Crown Prince's Concubine's Counterattack 13

"Ting He has never made a mistake since she became the daughter-in-law. I often wondered what I had done to displease the princess. It was not until that day that I heard from her what the princess arranged Dong Chun to do that I learned that the princess not only loves her husband but also her son. She does not allow any of her daughters to get close to her husband and child. I am fine with it. I am the prince's consort who was married in a formal ceremony. I cannot argue with the princess and her mother-in-law."

"But how can the prince's concubines Cui and Lu give up? They were given by His Majesty. They haven't been pregnant for twenty years. Has the prince never thought about why?"

The prince couldn't accept what he said and opened his mouth wide, retorting:

"Don't talk nonsense. She is your mother and mother-in-law. How could a country bumpkin like her be capable of doing such a thing?"

Maybe there were too many people outside the hall listening to the excitement, and everyone was nervous and wanted to continue listening. Their breathing became heavier. Ting He did not keep people in suspense, but asked back:

"May I ask, Your Majesty, when you were young, did the princess raise pigs, ducks, cattle and sheep in the countryside? Have you ever seen and used the estrus drugs, castration drugs and sterilization drugs needed for breeding pigs, ducks, cattle and sheep?"

There was a thud, and the mad princess suddenly seemed to have heard something shocking. She fell to the ground and shook her head frantically to refute:

"No, no, no, I didn't do it. I don't know, I don't know, I didn't do it, Your Majesty, I didn't do anything. This bitch is talking nonsense. She just can't stand Yuan'er getting close to me. She just can't stand my niece and Yuan'er having a good relationship. She is talking nonsense. It has nothing to do with me. I didn't do it. I really didn't..."

The prince couldn't lie to himself. The princess's reaction was too abnormal. His heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that he had found the crux of the princess's targeting of his daughter-in-law. However, who did the princess drug? Was it him or the concubines?

Ting He continued:

"Your Highness is wondering who the princess used the drug on. Why don't we call Dongchun over, and then we will know everything clearly."

Tinghe used the puppet talisman to control Dongchun. Dongchun's thoughts were exactly the same as what Tinghe had conveyed. He knelt down with his eyes open and said:

"I have only been in the palace for a few years. I did not personally participate in what the princess did to my aunt and the prince. It was only after the princess entered the palace that the princess sent me to buy sterilization and castration drugs for sows. I have no idea where those drugs were sent later."

Dongchun's words hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. The prince looked at the princess in disbelief, and asked with trembling lips:

"Did you give me the castration drug for animals? Did you give my concubines the sterilization drug? Pfft, you vicious woman, I've been kind to you, how dare you!!"

The prince staggered a few steps and fell down on the steps. He was supported in time by the servants, who questioned the princess.

The princess shook her head and refuted, not admitting: "I didn't, I didn't do it at all, it was this bitch who framed me. I am a princess who is high above everyone else, how could I do such a dirty thing that ordinary people do."

Ting He was not angry and said:

"Since the princess refuses to admit it, why don't you send someone to invite the palace doctor? If you are afraid of collusion, you can find a few more doctors to investigate. Taking advantage of the fact that the princess openly snatched the imperial gift today, why not expose it and show the inside and outside of the palace to everyone."

The prince did not refuse, but he no longer trusted the court doctor. After so many years of physical examinations, nothing had been found in his body, which he certainly could not believe. It would be better to find a few more doctors.

At this moment, the Emperor, whose legs were numb from eavesdropping in the corner, walked in, and the eunuch announced in front: "His Majesty has arrived..."

A large group of people reacted quickly and knelt on the ground: "Welcome, Your Majesty."

The prince broke out in a cold sweat, trembling as he came before His Majesty and kowtowed, saying:

"I didn't know Your Majesty was coming, and I didn't greet him in time. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

His Majesty, who was halfway through eating the melon, did not put on airs, but said humorously:

"I heard that the Lady Xingguo, who was personally conferred by me, was wronged in your palace, and Princess Jing actually disregarded the royal etiquette and snatched the things I rewarded her. I just felt curious, so I came over to take a look and see how bold Princess Jing is."

As soon as the words fell, the princess was like a gourd with a sawed mouth, unable to utter a word. She could only kneel on the ground trembling, not daring to utter a word in rebuttal.

But His Majesty knew by heart what the princess said when he eavesdropped on her. He looked down upon her cowardly behavior and said:

"When I came here, I was afraid that Madam Xingguo might be injured, so I brought the imperial physician with me. He is now in good use."

Without waiting for the prince to change his mind, he had already ordered his two concubines to come forward and carry the prince, and ordered:

"Doctor, check for me. I want to see if this is true or not."

After some arrangements were made, the imperial doctors tremblingly examined the health of all the masters. As expected, both concubines were infertile, the prince was heirless, and even the prince was not spared.

The prince was so angry that he spat out a large mouthful of blood and pointed at the princess and said:

"How dare you, bitch? You actually drugged me. I transformed you from a village woman into a high and mighty princess. What else are you not satisfied with? How dare you do such a thing?"

The princess explained with a trembling mouth:

"No, it's all fake. It's not me. I didn't do it. I don't know, Your Majesty. I am wronged. I really don't know."

Ting He was more confident with His Majesty's support, and he was not impatient, but said:

"Although there is no evidence that the princess persecuted the prince, it is said that the authenticity of the biological child can be verified by blood test. Otherwise, the prince can check with the prince to make a proof. Otherwise, whether the prince's childlessness is congenital or acquired will be clear."

Everyone was shocked, and they didn't react at all. Wasn't it about drugging? Why did they suddenly change the subject? What did this have to do with blood test?

Unexpectedly, when everyone was confused and guessing wildly, the princess refused to give in. She staggered to her feet and threw herself on Liu Ziyuan, trying to stop the eunuchs from drawing blood, as if she was determined to fight the eunuchs to the end.

What did the prince not understand? He roared tremblingly:

"You, you actually betrayed me. Tell me, whose child is Yuan'er? Did you drug my body?"

Before she could say anything, the prince walked up to the princess in two steps and knocked her to the ground with a slap in the face, which caused blood to ooze from the corner of her mouth.

When the prince had vented his anger and the princess's cheeks were swollen beyond recognition, he shouted again:

"Whose is Yuan'er? You and whose illegitimate child? How dare you, Liu Huaying, I have been very kind to you. How dare you..."

The prince was so angry that his eyes were wide open, his face was red, and his eyes were full of hatred. He kept shaking his head, as if he felt regretful, and as if he felt sorry for himself.
