Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Chapter 172 The truth back then

When Wang heard Prince Su's question, her pupils shrank and her face was filled with humiliation.

She laughed indignantly and questioned Prince Su with confidence,

"Haha, Prince, in order to make the Crown Prince and I give way to your old bitch and the two bastards, you actually slandered the Crown Prince as not being his biological son and took the initiative to cuckold yourself. You are really affectionate! Haha, I am almost dying of laughter!"

Wang was very sure that everyone who knew about this matter at that time was dead, and the man had also died long ago.

So many years have passed and this matter has not been exposed. It is impossible for Prince Su to suddenly know the truth.

This is just Prince Su's dirty trick to get rid of her and the prince!

As long as she refuses to admit it, what can Prince Su do to her? He has no evidence!

"Do you think I don't have evidence?" Prince Su looked at her coldly.

"This prince and the prince have done a paternity test, and he is not this prince's son at all. If you confess, this prince can let you die with dignity. If you still want to quibble, you will die without a complete body!"

Wang was so frightened that she trembled all over, shook her head frantically, and continued to argue.

"What kind of paternity test? It's totally inaccurate! Impossible! Impossible! Your Majesty, you are wrongly accusing me!"

"Okay, it seems that you won't confess unless you suffer a little. I will grant your wish."

Prince Su came fully prepared, and he had drugs to help with the interrogation.

He got a pill that makes people tell the truth from Feng Yuxi, and it cost him one thousand and two taels of silver.

According to him, after swallowing the pill, he felt pain and itchiness all over his body. Even the toughest man could not stand the torture of the pill. He just wanted to tell the truth and get relief as soon as possible.

A wealthy lady like Wang, who had never suffered and only knew how to blame others when things went wrong, couldn't even hold out for ten breaths after swallowing the pill.

After Wang was forced to swallow the pill, she rolled back and forth on the ground in pain because it was too itchy. In just a few breaths, her face was scratched with many bloody marks, which looked miserable and scary.

Her clothes had been torn to shreds and her body was scratched in many places.

"My Lord, please... let me go, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, give me the antidote, the antidote..."

How could Wang bear this? She just wanted to die quickly.

Prince Su waited for a moment before giving her a pill that could temporarily suppress the poison so that she could speak normally.

"Tell me, who is the adulterer?" Prince Su said coldly, "Don't even think about lying, otherwise, you will continue to be tortured by the pain just now."

Thinking of the pain she had just felt, Wang began to tremble all over and shook her head in fear, indicating that she dared not lie.

"He is a distant cousin of mine. After I was sure I was pregnant, I had him killed. I have no feelings for him. I just wanted to have a child and didn't want him to catch me."

Without waiting for Prince Su to ask, Wang continued,

"Sixteen years ago, we had been married for three years. Because the prince was stationed at the border all year round, he only stayed for a little over a month when he came back.

It was so short, and there were other women who wanted to share my favor, so I never managed to get pregnant.

That year, not long after you left, Concubine Qin was found to be pregnant!

Concubine Qin is of high birth and is pregnant. Once she gives birth to the prince's eldest son, I am afraid that I will lose my status as princess.

But my little day had just ended, and I was pretty sure I wasn’t pregnant.

I was anxious and wanted a child desperately, so I had some evil thoughts.

My cousin was staying at Wang's house at the time, and I took the opportunity of going back to my mother's house... and got together with him.

Fortunately, I found out that I was pregnant very quickly, because it was only a little over a month before the prince passed away.

There was no need to hide the fact that the child was from the prince. Just say that he was the prince's. I felt that God was helping me at that time.

In order to avoid leaving any evidence, after I became pregnant, I had someone push my cousin into the lake, causing his accidental death. I executed all the maids and nannies who knew about this..."

"Is it true that no one in the Wang family knows about this? I don't believe it!" Prince Su didn't believe it at all and said coldly,

"As a girl, even if you are at your parents' home, how can you hide your secret meeting with a man outside your family without careful arrangements?

How could your parents not know?! Did you think you got rid of your cousin by your own hands or by your parents' trick? "

“………” Wang was silent.

"Speak!" Prince Su shouted angrily.

“Wow… My parents do know, they know everything!

Please, Prince, please, I beg you, my own death is not worth it, please let the Wang family go, let the prince go, he is innocent, he knows nothing!"

Wang cried and begged.

When Prince Su heard this, he felt it was extremely ironic and said coldly,

"You killed the baby in Concubine Qin's belly, and you forced her to death. And the other unborn children you killed, aren't they innocent?!

You shameless and vicious woman, what qualifications do you have to plead innocent to this king? ! "

Prince Su was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked Wang hard!

Wang collapsed to the ground with a scream and closed her eyes in despair.

She is finished, the prince is finished, and the Wang family is probably finished too...

-

After Prince Su came out from Wang's place, he went straight to the palace.

"If you hadn't come, I would have sent someone to interrogate him. Could you have found the murderer behind the scenes?"

When the emperor saw Prince Su, he saw that he had a very unhappy expression on his face, but he was not surprised because someone had already reported it to him.

"Fortunately, Madam Mu and the children are fine. Don't worry too much. We can just add more guards in the future." Seeing that his face was really ugly, the emperor said again,

"How about I give you two Dragon Shadow Guards and have them secretly protect the Mu family for two months to ensure the twins are born safely."

The Dragon Shadow Guards were a group of secret guards specially trained by the royal family. Each of them was a top master, and through constant competition and elimination, they only maintained a group of twenty people.

Prince Su curled his lips and said to the emperor, "The Dragon Shadow Guard was given to me by you, my brother. I didn't ask for it. Just think of it as a gift from you, the uncle, to the child in advance."

The emperor glared at him unhappily, knowing that he was trying to get benefits from him, but he gave it willingly.

"All of you leave." Prince Su waved his hand and asked all the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall to leave.

"What?" The emperor looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

"Brother, I learned today that the Crown Prince is not my biological son." Prince Su said in a low voice, "I have interrogated Wang, and Wang Guangrui also knows about this matter."

Wang Guangrui, Wang's father, worked in the Censorate and was the highest official, the third-rank Imperial Censor.

The Censorate is a supervisory agency, similar to the Procuratorate. Wang Guangrui led a group of people from the Censorate, and every day they were either impeaching this or that.

He actually dared to do such a thing of deceiving the emperor and confusing the royal bloodline, which is a heinous act. He should be impeached!

No, it wouldn't be too much to execute the whole family.

"...How dare you! How audacious!" The emperor was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, his eyes red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said,

"What a century-old family! How dare they bully the royal family like this? Fine, fine, fine, I will kill all nine generations of their clan!"

"Just execute the whole family, don't kill all nine clans. Killing a bunch of innocent people will only add to the sins."

Prince Su waved his hand and said, "I don't know how many Buddhist scriptures Nianqiu will have to recite for this, for fear that I will commit more sins."

"..." The emperor stared at him for a moment and said guiltily,

"I am sorry for you, my brother. I originally assigned Wang to you. You have been guarding the border for many years, and I did not take good care of the affairs of the harem for you. But something like this happened!"

"Don't blame yourself, my royal brother. Some women are very calculating. Even if I stay in Beijing all year round, I may still be cuckolded."

Prince Su did not blame his brother at all. He came here to discuss with his brother what excuse to use to deal with Wang and the bastard.

"If you are upset, don't worry about this matter. I will deal with the Wang family."

The Emperor knew his brother well. He came to him just to let him finish the job. He just asked,

"Just what do you want to do with that bastard? Do you have any requests?"

"Your Majesty, please do as you wish." Prince Su waved his hand in annoyance, "I really don't want to spend any more time worrying about him."

The emperor agreed, and then he had the mind to ask him how he knew the truth.

"That Doctor Feng has some amazing skills. He can do paternity testing, and facts have proven that he is very accurate."

Prince Su said.

"Feng Niankang's adoptive father? It seems that his medical skills are indeed excellent, not like ordinary people." The emperor said, "I will summon him to the palace some other day and meet him in person."

"What do you want to see him for? Royal brother, you also want to do a paternity test? To test you and Prince Jing?" Prince Su asked directly.
