Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Jiang Fenghua heard that Xie Shang had returned to Chengguang Palace, so she went there as well. The New Year was coming soon, and she thought that this year would be quite exciting!

Xie Shang was busy in front of the imperial desk. When he saw Jiang Fenghua come in, he hurriedly went up to greet her and held her hand. She was covered in snow, her little face was red from the cold, and her fingers were icy.

He asked gently, "Why are you in Chengguang Palace so late?"

"Your Highness, I have something to talk to you about." Jiang Fenghua looked solemn.

Seeing her expression, Xie Shang felt that something big had happened, "What?"

"Your Highness, please come with me. It's not convenient to talk here." She knew that there were people from the Zhu family in Chengguang Palace.

Jiang Fenghua took the cloak and put it on him personally, then took him back to Chenxi Palace.

At this time, Doctor Wang was already waiting at Chenxi Palace. When he saw the Crown Prince, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "Doctor Wang, please don't be polite."

Jiang Fenghua then asked Lian Ye to quietly bring the person over before closing the door.

Seeing them acting so mysteriously, Xie Shang asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Fenghua said, "Ten days ago, I asked a midwife to go to the cold palace to check on Ye Liang, fearing that she would give birth prematurely. Today, I thought that her due date had already exceeded by several days, so I went to the cold palace myself. It happened that Ye Liang was experiencing fetal movement, and it seemed that she was about to give birth, so I asked the midwife and Doctor Wang to deliver the baby quickly...but in the end, she gave birth to a premature baby."

Xie Shang frowned and said in a cold voice, "It's obviously a full-term baby, but it's not yet full-term. What does this mean?"

Doctor Wang explained, "If we calculate based on the time Young Lady Ye was pregnant, the child has been in his mother's womb for ten months now, and he couldn't have been a premature baby when he was born. However, the little boy is not only weak and thin, he also suffers from congenital agenesis of the kidney cyst. I infer that this is also due to the long-term stimulation he received in the womb, causing developmental abnormalities." He didn't dare to say that it was inherited from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the child, because doesn't this mean that the Crown Prince is not good in that aspect?

Jiang Fenghua explained, "When I went to the cold palace today, I saw Ye Liang inserting needles into my body. I asked her why she inserted needles into her body. She said it was because it hurt and it relieved the pain. But when the baby was born, the midwife and Doctor Wang found that the baby was premature, so they became suspicious."

Doctor Wang also said, "I have already checked the acupuncture points that the Crown Princess mentioned. Those acupuncture points are exactly the acupuncture points used to induce labor for women who are unable to give birth."

This means that Ye Susu had been inducing labor before. Because she had been pierced with silver needles too many times, traces of the silver needles were left on her body, which were not difficult to detect.

If the birth was normal, why did they need to induce labor before the imperial physician arrived? Isn't this a contradiction?

Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "This matter is of great importance, and I dare not report it rashly, but since it concerns the heir to the throne, I have to report it. I am in a dilemma, so I went to find His Highness in person."

Xie Shang said nothing after hearing this. It reminded him of the years when his father and mother quarreled over such things. His father even scolded his mother for being shameless and wanting to borrow sperm to conceive the royal heir. When the sperm failed, she came up with a plan to fake a pregnancy and even asked a palace maid to give birth to the child and pass it off as the Queen's.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Fenghua walked to his side and asked quietly, "There is another possibility. This child was conceived by Concubine Ye Liang and Your Highness when they were together later. So Your Highness should think carefully about whether Your Highness has favored Concubine Ye Liang again since the day you favored her in the palace?" It is not impossible that if you can sleep with her once, you can sleep with her a second or third time.

After hearing this, Xie Shang came to his senses and swore to Jiang Fenghua, "Ruan Ruan, don't you believe me? I swear that I only touched Ye Susu when I had no choice, and I never set foot in her yard again. During those days, I was either in the palace or in Ruan Ruan's room. I definitely didn't do anything to let Ruan Ruan down at that time." He already felt very guilty at that time and felt sorry for Jiang Fenghua. How could he possibly touch Ye Susu again?

In front of Doctor Wang, Jiang Fenghua was embarrassed and blushed, "I believe Your Highness."

Xie Shang also reacted. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Based on this inference, the child in Ye Susu's belly is not an orphan." He didn't feel anything because it wasn't his. He just felt that Ye Susu was disgusting.

He added, "Since he is in poor health and has a congenital disability, let's deal with it quietly!"

This is what Doctor Wang meant.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Fenghua went to open the door personally.

Aoxue and Lianye pushed a person in. She was tied up and her mouth was stuffed.

Lian Ye said, "Your Highness, Princess, this is Su Tingwan's maid, Juxiang. At the beginning, Your Highness demoted Su Tingwan to a slave, and Juxiang was in the laundry department."

Jiang Fenghua explained, "At the beginning, I personally brought Ye Liang into the mansion, and I also assigned two maids to serve her personally. She had no chance to be with other men. I remember that Ye Susu and Su Tingwan were close at that time, and their relationship suddenly became good.

Now the two maids didn't follow into the palace, but Su Tingwan's maid Juxiang did, so she asked Juxiang first if she knew who that person was. "She knew that since it was related to Su Tingwan, Xie Shang might not be calm again.

Xie Shang frowned and walked up to Juxiang, ripped the food out of her mouth, and asked in a cold voice, "What secrets do you know about your master? Don't try to deceive me. I recognize you. You are the maid of Su family's Madam Liu, and then you followed Su Tingwan. If you tell me who is the one who had an affair with Ye Susu, I can spare your life. If you don't tell me, I can go to the Su Mansion and ask Madam Liu and find out the truth."

At that time, Su Tingwan chased to the border, and in order to silence her, the Su family took away her original maid Ginkgo and gave her a new maid.

When Juxiang heard this, she was scared to death. She shook her head desperately to indicate that she didn't know. If she told them, all her family members would die. All her family members were working for the Su family at the border.

Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "I know you are worried about your family, afraid that you might betray your master and harm your family. I can promise you that I will not reveal a single word of what you said. And I can give you money to let you leave the palace and give you freedom tonight."

Juxiang stared at Jiang Fenghua, with a hint of excitement in her eyes. After she and Miss Wan entered the palace, they were punished to do rough work in the laundry department. However, Miss Wan never washed clothes, and she always did the work of two people.

Miss Wan was banished to the cold palace. She was left alone in the laundry department and was bullied every day. She was even harassed by the old eunuchs in the palace. She had had enough.

"Madam Liu took the eldest son to find Miss Wan, and then the eldest son and concubine Ye Liang were having a private affair in the house." Juxiang said again, "I beg His Royal Highness to have mercy and spare this servant."

When Xie Shang heard this, his eyes turned cold, "When?"
